When Dusk Is With You

Explanation of Dohyon

"Pa. Dohyon kok has not come home yet at this hour even though." said Eunjung to her husband. They are now sitting on the front porch.

"Maybe he has a group assignment or playing with his new friend" Daehyun said trying to calm his wife down.

"It's usually the child is never like this" he said. This time Eunjung walked back and forth like an iron.

From a distance the couple saw his son walking towards his house. As usual, Dohyon's face looks flat.

"Eh! It's Dohyon." said Daehyun, seeing his son approaching.

Eunjung looked towards her son who started to reach the terrace. Dohyon looked at them.

"I went home" he said, then went into his house.

Both of his parents followed him inside. Dohyon walked into the kitchen and took a glass of water and drank it. Actually, when Dohyon got home a lot of questions that Eunjung wanted to lay on her son. But what is power. The kid's really cold.

With courage Eunjung approached her son. He waited for his son to finish his drink. Seeing his mother watching him he immediately put his glass into the sink and looked at his mother.

"Have you eaten?" ask Eunjung.

"Udah" he said, then left his mother.

Eunjung was surprised to hear her son's answer. When did his son eat dinner outside. He followed Dohyon back to the room. Looks like the door's not locked. When Eunjung opened the door, she saw Dohyon lying down on the bed while closing his eyes.

"Where were you? How long to go home." now Eunjung sat on the edge of the bed.

"To the house of temen." he replied without opening his eyes.

"Why not say it before. If mama's titukan is equally papa not worried." said Eunjung. Eunjung wishes her son was open.

"Sorry" he said, still closing his eyes.

"Yes your house is far away. Must be tired of the road."

"No, no ma. Deket here. Yes I want to change clothes first." said Dohyon then stood up and took the clothes home in the closet.

With forced Eunjung to get out of there and hold all the questions on her mind. Actually he would let Dohyon if his son behaved as usual. But since Dohyon asked how long they lived there Eunjung was sure that her son soon changed and returned cheerful as before.

Eunjung walked in the tv room and sat next to her husband. He stared blankly ahead. Don't know what he's thinking.

"Why ma?" ask Daehyun.

"No pa. Just mama's thinking what makes Dohyon like that." said Eunjung a little sad.

"Well, let's pray that our son will return to the way he used to be" Daehyun said, calming his wife.

How many times have they talked about their children. Dohyon is the only child they love. They care a lot about Dohyon. But because they both worked so they don't know what happened to the kid.

Ever since Dohyon turned cold and always locked himself all day in the room when Eunjung was very worried. Feeling that something was wrong, Eunjung decided to resign from the office where she worked. He wanted to get closer to his only child. Even so Dohyon remained cold to him.

"You close to him?" kathi asked his first child. Now they're in the tv room.

"No pa. He just moved two days ago" said Hitomi who was busy watching.

"Why have he been driving you for two days? Are you guys dating?" Katashi was curious.

"Pa. Dad dong. Lagian Dohyon is also a good boy. Let it go." Mina told her husband.

"If you say he's a good boy, you don't have to worry."

His parents are now debating the no-no. Hitomi who was watching became annoyed. He stood up and walked towards his room.

"If not for thanking me I don't want to go home with him either" Hitomi said when he was in his room.

He stepped towards the bed and laid down his body. He looked at the ceiling of his house. In retrospect the person he should have been avoiding even helped him a lot.

Actually, when first grade Hitomi was never a victim of bully. His family did not know that his son was bullied until he became ill yesterday. That's because when the class rises there is a new student named Choi Yena.

Yena herself moved from Seoul like Dohyon. Although his father owned the foundation at the school but before moving he was with his mother in Korea. His parents divorced and became a broken home.

When he entered the classroom he saw an innocent, petite girl sitting at the very back. The girl looked weak like she used to be. Apparently he knew his name. Hitomi. Hitomi Hondas. He hates to see a girl who looks as fragile as Hitomi. From then on she tried to vent her emotions because she remembered her past.

That was how Hitomi became the moons of Yena. Actually, many people want to help. But after finding out Yena's father was the owner of the foundation no one dared a single one. Including Miyuki Hitomi's friend.

Hitomi is confused thinking of a way to keep her from getting involved with Dohyon anymore. Because then Yena no longer locked him up or even did nothing to him.

Hitomi chose sleep and thought it made her sleepy. Better he sleep fast so that tomorrow morning can wake up fast. Hitomi closed her eyes and began to enter the dream until she forgot something. Something is going to happen tomorrow. Something Hitomi doesn't want.

"Good morning" said Dohyon as soon as he reached the dinner table. The expression is still the same. Flat.

"Belove~ morning" said Eunjung. According to Daehyun his wife was a little excessive.

"Dohyon. You haven't told me why you've been home for so long. Last night papa had not commented because maybe you are tired and it is still night. Try to explain." said Daehyun a little firmly.

Dohyon looked at the papa. Actually he didn't want to say it. She was afraid her mother misunderstood her. Then Eunjung came to put a glass of milk in front of Dohyon.

"It has. If you don't want to tell a story, it doesn't matter either." Eunjung immediately got Daehyun's gaze.

Dohyon looked back at his papa. He looked at his mother who was sitting next to his father. There are two options in front of him. Tell me everything that happened yesterday and your mother will overreact. Or choose silence but get anger from his papa.

Dohyon sighed then put the bread that had been held in his hands. He had to explain what really wasn't important.

"Hmm it's not really a big deal" he said, stopping for a moment.

"Yesterday, my Semja friend disappeared from the morning but no one was looking so I was looking. Turns out he was locked up in a barn. So since it was late afternoon I drove her. When his parents took him to dinner. So it's been a while since I've been home." obviously a little bit less.

Eunjung and Daehyun stared at each other. Just this time they saw this boy in front of them taking care of people. Eunjung's eyes turned to look at Dohyon with sparkling eyes. Really he was very curious who was Dohyon's semeja friend.

Dohyon looked at his mother. It seemed that his explanation made his mother wish what she did not think. He went back to eating his bread. He ate hurriedly and immediately downed his milk. Then he stood up.

"I'm leaving. Thank you for the food." said Dohyon then left after picking up his bag.

"Ma. Papa says her friend is beautiful. If not why is he so attentive to her" said Daehyun who had not believed to hear the words of his son.

"Yes pa. But mama's intention was if indeed he did not want our story to find out for itself. But he chose to tell it. It seems like he is still afraid that papa is angry." said Eunjung chuckled.

"Sure dong. He rarely gets angry. If often he is not afraid anymore" said Daehyun while eating.

They continued to eat breakfast because Daehyun was about to leave for the office.
