"Because I was scared how you're gonna feel about it." Taking a deep breath, he reduced the pitch of his voice, "Okay sorry I retorted but at least understand. I never knew she was actually there to save me."
"So you didn't talk to her about it?"
"Of course I did." Sipping from his glass of juice, "I went to her place yesterday and we talked fluently."
"So?"
Misunderstanding her question, he inquired, "I don't understand, what do you mean by so?"
Rolling her eyes, she crossed her arms and proudly tilted her neck, "So what did she say to you?"
Shrugging his shoulders, he remarked, "Nothing much, she forgave me and offer me some hospitality."
"Are you serious? After the scolding she forgave you in peace?" She gasped.
"What were you expecting? To return home with a broken head?" He frowned. When Sebastian justified what happened at the hospital a month ago to Petra, she freaked out and scolded him.
Sighing in dejection, she complained, "She haven't visited me for weeks now. I feel she's not too close to me anymore."
"Says who? Mom please stop talking negative. Though I just knew few things about her yesterday. I thought she was some kinda celebrity who pleases their egos and downcast other people." He defended before rolling his eyes.
"Jin-joo is never on that line of annoying people. She is lively and bubbly. I love everything about that girl."
Raising his brows, he quietly took some sips from his juice without making eye contact with her.
"I heard you and your friends are having a reunion funtime party."
Slowly nodding his head in agreement, "Hmm, you heard well."
"At what time?"
Staring at her with a suspicious glare, he inquired, "Are you coming?"
Pointing at herself, "Me? Hell no am not."
"You can come along if it suits you." Sebastian don't mind his mother coming along, after all it will look more colorful for him and also protect him from the mockery of not having a woman by his side.
"Its alright, you can carry on and enjoy yourself. I don't feel like going out today." She adjusted her glasses and continued reading the magazine.
"Okay, if you say so."
"Hi Aunt," Jin-joo walked into the mansion.
Looking at her, Petra beamed, "Ah, Jin you're here." Giving her a hug, she added, "Am so happy to see you again."
"Me too," Pulling away, Jin-joo smiled, "By the way how are you doing?"
Lifting her hands up, Petra slowly swirled around, "As you can see, I am doing great."
"Yeah, I can see that." She chuckled and turned towards Sebastian who was busy sipping his juice without taking his eyes off her. "Hi, we meet again."
"Same here, how are you?" He smiled.
"I'm fine." She remarked and sat beside Petra. Hook one arm on her shoulders, "You missed me?"
"I do lie if I say no. You can ask Seb, I was talking about you few minutes ago before you walked in." Petra smiled.
"Hmm, I know." Picking up the two fancy bags beside her, "I got these for you two." Jin-joo stated and handed it to them.
Taking it from her, Petra gasped as she peeped through, "Wow they're so beautiful."
"Thanks but you shouldn't have bothered yourself in doing this. Its too much." Sebastian added.
"Oh come on, these are nothing. Its just a token of love." Looking at Petra, she remarked, "So sorry I couldn't pick your calls, I've been so busy lately."
Placing one hand on her shoulder, Petra chuckled, "I understand, Sebastian had already told me about everything."
Looking at Sebastian, Jin-joo slightly scrunched her brows, "What did you tell Aunt?"
"Nothing really." He defended and sat on the couch across to theirs. Placing the glass on the table, he crossed his arms, "So how was work today?"
"Perfect as usual. Actually I have this concert coming up next month, so I'm making preparations."
Slowly nodding his head, he remarked, "Its quite stressing."
"Absolutely, how did you know about that?"
"Its written all over your face, I mean you look a little pale and stressed out from your facial feature."
"Exactly, I know, right?" Tuckling a strand of hair behind her ear, she sighed, "I can't remember the last time I slept for eight hours."
"You should take a day rest. You need it."
Bursting into laughter, Petra pointed at Sebastian who just commented, "Look who's talking about a day rest, he barely had two hours sleeps."
