You've been in a relationship with Jeongin for about 3 years now. He always had problems with his mother, which is why you and his family rarely met. No matter what, his mother could always find some reason to criticize and scold him. She may have been a good mother who raised her children well, but her words always left a needle prick in his heart. Today was just one of those days.

It was around 4 p.m., when you were about to come home from work, but you didn't realize that when Jeongin was alone at home, waiting for you, his mom called. At first, he hesitated to answer it, but he decided to do it since they didn't keep in touch very often anyway. Their conversation was going well, almost too well... Typically, his mother asked if you both had any plans to visit them, she also asked how you were doing, but who would have thought that an innocent conversation will turn into a one-sided argument again. She started accusing Jeongin why they don't have any contact, how he's so inconsiderate and selfish to only think about himself and no one else. Someone might think that this is just an ordinary "argument" with your mom on the phone, right? But no, as always, she even started calling him names for no particular reason as always. Maybe it was her way of venting her emotions.

When you got home you found jeongin sitting on the couch with wet eyes and dried tears on his cheeks. You immediately walked up to him and wrapped him in your embrace.

She did it again... I haven't done anything, I'm trying for her... and she did it again. I have enough of this. No matter what I do, I will always be unsuitable for her.

He whispered between his quiet sobs as he melted into your warm touch.
