Chapter 1097 – Are You Sure You’re Going to Leave Me Here Again?

As if Minah was going to eat them all, she quietly ate the bread, cakes, and cookies. When she’s not, she’s so sloppy, it’s only when she wets her clogged throat with coffee.

“I said he was the boss. What, are you the boss?”

“Minah noona is now the boss. Small business owner.”

“Wow, really?”

Instead of Minah, whose mouth was only for eating and drinking, I was talking to her and her mother. Her mother kept her daughter’s eyes on her carefully, but carried on her conversation with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

“Thank god. Because the boss But what kind of company do you work for?”

“It’s a board game. You know, there are games like Blooma.”

“Ah, that’s right. You’re working on making Lou Marble…”

He nodded and muttered, but it seemed that he did not understand.

“Hmm, I don’t know if Mina came to her mukbang.”

“Do you think it will just pass by without anything special?”

Demon King and Sehee, who had been watching from a little distance, looked at each other with a slightly disappointed look. In fact, it was only because our lives had rarely gone as smoothly as they do now.

“Yeah… But, yo.”

Her mother tried to change her subject as I informed her that I was still in college. With her still hesitant attitude, she apologized while glancing at Mina who was eating bread in silence.

“Sorry.”

“…”

Minah, who had been eating nonstop until now, stopped her hand. Still, her eyes were fixed on her tray, trying to listen to what her mother was saying.

“I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you earlier.”

“… Haeup”

Right after we entered the cafe, we smiled and apologized, then started eating bread again. Even when her mother saw Mina like that, she continued to speak with a smile on her face as if she was genuinely happy.

“I can’t believe my daughter is so, pretty, I didn’t know, I didn’t know. Mi, I’m sorry. Oh, and he’s tall, too.”

She shrugged her shoulders as if she was embarrassed, and Mina slowed down her eating speed a bit. However, her continued movement stopped her arm from her words immediately following her.

“That, Dad, looks like it, I see.”

“…”

“Dad?”

The moment I mentioned Mina’s birth father, her body leaned forward involuntarily. She was like the demon king who eavesdropped on it from a little distance, and even Se-hee, who heard about it, looked at it openly with her dark blue eyes wide open.

“Oh, that, I didn’t talk about it.”

My mother was taken aback by the fact that we, especially Mina, were interested in us sitting across from her. She even told her story about a person she is not in this position now.

“Dad, he said, was a basketball player. So, he was tall. His name is Chae Han-seong, and he is, well, very handsome.”

Judging from her shyness, she seemed to have no ill feelings toward Mina’s real father. At this time, she wondered why Minah had been entrusted to an orphanage.

“He was a very nice person.”

Mother explained the reason, lowering the corners of her mouth that she had raised her shyly.

“But, after a car accident, he died.”

“!”

It was the first time that Mina shuddered with her body while they were together from this world until now. Mina looked at her mother with more intense emotions in her gaze than before.

“I trusted my husband and came to Korea, but after he died, I became alone. In Korea, raising a child alone, it was so hard, it was hard… !”

Her mother lowered her head as she spoke, and her body began to tremble. Her voice trembled as much as her shoulders, and she spoke the words that Mina had been waiting for.

“Sorry… !”

“…”

“Sir, my mother-in-law kicked me out.”

She continued with a whimper, unable to lift her head from Minah, who didn’t say anything.

“I kicked her out with Minah. She wanted to go home, but she had no money. But there was no money to raise Minah. So, Min-ah, I left it to her church and bounced around. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Minah, I’m sorry.”

Tears kept falling from her mother’s face. Minah just stared at her mother, who was unfamiliar to her, without saying anything or doing anything.

Sniff

No, she really didn’t do anything. She lifted her arm and cupped my hand on the table, and said something other than a greeting for the first time.

“It was hard for me too.”

“Ugh, ugh… !”

When she said it was hard, her mother tried to hold back her crying. She held back as if she didn’t deserve to cry, but she couldn’t stop her moans that were full of sobs.

“I knew there was a hierarchy to her kids even before they were grown up,” She says.

Even seeing her mother like that, Minah didn’t stop talking. At first glance, it was, but Mina’s eyes, which were always calm, were shaking.

“I learned about the existence of her parents through children’s books. She became envious of her older brothers and sisters, whose parents came to visit her every weekend. If she stays nice and prays hard, she knows Santa is coming, not her parents.”

“… !”

“But it wasn’t. For me, the existence of my parents was like a fantasy animal. No matter how much I expected, no matter how good a child I was, you never came to me.”

For the first time, Mina referred to her mother. You. At first glance, even though she had a blunt impression, the word did not go well with Mina, who had a deep heart.

“Ever since I became a middle school student, your existence has been a disappointment to me. I no longer wished for you to come. Rather, I hoped that you would not come.”

“Oh, it’s Minah.”

Forgetting that her mother was in front of her, she looked at Minah. Mawang and Sehee, who were watching from afar, were also taken aback, and she looked at this place. In the midst of this anxiety, Minah kept her gaze fixed on her mother and confessed her feelings.

“Because you found me, as now, my childhood me was miserable. You knew that I live in an orphanage. I would have known that I wanted your presence too.”

“Mi, I’m sorry… !”

“Sorry is not enough. You only apologized a few times, but I apologized to you every day until I was 13 years old. I’ll be a good kid, so please come visit me just once. What did you do?”

“Tea, I was going to go and see it,”

“But he didn’t come.”

“Until the nursery school,”

“But he didn’t come.”

“Call me once,”

“But he didn’t come.”

He knew at least that Mina was madly angry right now. But she couldn’t stop her. Because it was clear that Mina was hurt because her mother didn’t come.

“… Sorry. I won’t say I want to see you again.”

Seeing Mina not making any excuses for her, her mother stood up from her seat with her head bowed. She tried to pass us as if she was about to leave the cafe.

Widely

“Where are you going?”

Until Mina grabbed her wrist.

“I still have something to say.”

“Yes yes… ?”

“Are you sure you’re going to leave me this time?”

“Oh no! Absolutely not!”

Her mother shook her head so violently that tears welled up on her face. Seeing that, Mina stood up from her seat holding her mother and me by the hand.

“Look.”

Mina shook her mother’s hand, which she held tight. And then she spit out what she really wanted to say.

She said, “She was the mother I hoped she wouldn’t come, but now she’s holding me back. It was very nice to see her face like this.”

“… !!!”

“But she didn’t know what to do. She didn’t say that she was happy. Since she was a child, she couldn’t even hug her dreams. Now I am more used to the word you than mother.”

Just like when she poured out her resentment, her true intentions did not stop easily. Mina let go of her mother’s hand and pulled her hand in hers, making her stand side by side.

“But this seems doable.”

Having said that, Minah wrapped her arms around her and held my hand, which she had been holding, and lifted it up.

“This is my husband, Kang Ji-heon. Even if you left me, I wouldn’t have lived a miserable life. Happiness existed in my life too. So I will not resent your choice unconditionally. That is all.”

It’s ideal, what kind of PPT is it?

“Huh… !”

It didn’t mean that she would hate her, or that she would forgive her, but at similar words, her mother collapsed. Mina let go of her hand holding mine and squatted down to try to get her mother up.

“Get up. It is difficult to call her mother right now, but I will try to call her one day.”

“No, no. Don’t call me mother, Minah… !”

“Then don’t call me Minah. You are older than me.”

It wasn’t a touching meeting like in a movie or drama, but it wasn’t without emotion. I couldn’t stand to see her Mina trying to forgive her mother, so she helped me along.

“Wake up, Mother. Are you okay?”

“Okay, it’s okay… !”

“Get up, take your seat.”

Like Mina, I helped her mother and put her in her seat. Then, Mawang and Sehee, who were watching from afar, approached without calling.

“Hello, mother.”

“Minah, I was wondering who her older sister looked like, but she looked like her mother.”

Even if Se-hee was like that, the Demon King approached with a lot of arrogance. Seeing the two of them, the mother looked back at us in bewilderment.

“Who, who… ?”

It was a reaction that would come out if a white beauty with silver hair and a neat and clean girl with black hair approached. I panicked and tried to explain who it was, then gave Mina her role.

“…”

Minah looked at Mawang and Sehee standing next to us, then turned her attention to her mother. After a few seconds of silence, as if trying to organize her thoughts, she finally opened her mouth.

“A lot happened.”

“Uh, uh, so, Sohee, Mr.? Rang, Sehee, Mr? Lang, a very close friend?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Ho-ho, mother. Mr., It’s okay if you omit it.”

“I think you are becoming more like your mother, oppa.”

“Oh, I think so too. Uh? Taeyeon?”

“What, is this person him? Mina’s biological mother?”

“Uh, yes…”

“Ah, it is this person. It’s this person… !”

“Calm. It’s not possible. Don’t do it.”

“Oh, Taeyeon. Calm. It’s not like that.”

“Hey, aunt, wait, wait, shall we come this way? Now, my brother says he’s going this way too.”

“Taeyeon? I’m here. Come on, Taeyeon. I’m here, won’t you come?”

“You guys don’t know what kind of kid I am?! Hey. Come on. Don’t come here!”

“… What about you, Minah? Who is that officer?”

“As I said earlier, a lot has happened.”
