We'll bring the party to them!

"Good afternoon Ha-yoon."

"Radka? what the hell do you want?"

"I gotta ask Ha-yoon...Finding you here instead of the hospital, shouldn't you be with Seong-min or at least Cyrus? heard the two of you got history together."

"You're surprised why I'm here, At my own house? Are you feeling okay old hag?!" Ha-yoon asked as she blocked the entrance to the front door.

Sighing, "It doesn't matter, I came to thank you...You gave Jin the piece of information we needed to find Seong-min, so I came here with something in return." Radka replied shaking the box she carried in her hands.

"Is that a cake or something?" Ha-yoon asked.

Rushil popped from behind Radka, "Homemade! I baked it! it's chocolate!" He said enthusiastically.

Surprised, "Damn, Were you there the whole time?!

Wow! your wife is so tall I literally didn't see you there!" Ha-yoon said making Rushil frown, "Hey, I didn't mean to make fun of you dude!" Ha-yoon spoke again.

"Listen Fake Blondie, do you want the cake or not?" Radka spoke-up, she was running out of patience and willpower to fake a smile for Ha-yoon.

"I'm sorry that dying my hair blonde offended your white Ass Radka...ugh, come on in...I'd be a dumbass to say no to a free chocolate cake anyways." Ha-yoon said allowing them in.

... Meanwhile...

"My little princess Min-Min has such a bad luck! why do bad things keep happening to her? is it something bad I did in my past life? is my own child getting punished for my Sins...oh I'm such a bad mother!" Soo-Min said with teary eyes.

"Of course not! don't say that...Soo-Min! I'm sure you're a great mother! I mean...you have a very beautiful talented...and s-smart girl like Seong-min as your daughter." Joel said smiling.

"Why did he struggled when saying 'Smart'..." Seong-min mumbled while rolling her eyes.

Cyrus was watching silently while grinning as Seong-Min's mother started laughing, "Oh haha! Joel you're so nice to meeee!

I don't see a ring around your finger officer, how can a man like you not be tied already!" Soo-Min replied.

Joel blushed and remained silent at her question, "Is it perhaps...that you like men instead?" Soo-Min spoke again.

"Eomma! oh my god stop it!" Seong-min said embarrassed, meanwhile Cyrus was having a hard time holding back his laughter .

"What? We are in the new era where anybody can love anybody!" Soo-Min said.

"Come with me for a second!" Seong-min said grabbing her mother by the hand.

The two women quickly left the room, and Seong-min immediately scolded her mother, "Stop doing that!"

"Do what?" Soo-Min said, "Being so nosy! it's embarrassing to ask strangers about things like their sexualities, you just met the guy!" Seong-Min's replied.

"Since you're saying that it's embarrassing to ask strangers, then let me ask you, my daughter.

Where is your girlfriend? you can fool everybody in the world but not your mother, I know you like girls!" Soo-Min replied.

"What?! I'm straight! I'm really straight!" Seong-min said.

"You never spoke of boys before, I never saw you squeal or fangirl at some hot guy before! well aside from that gay actor Nikolai!

Also! No straight daughter has a room full of female idols, actresses, singers, literally any woman who's talented and beautiful enough to be put on a poster, all over her bedroom's walls!" Soo-Min replied adamant to prove her point.

"I have those posters because I idolize those women! I wanna be like them not date them!

I wanna be famous like them!" Seong-min defended herself.

"You're at least bisexual Seong-min, the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Seong-min asked.

"I'm talking about your dad, listen princess...there's no way your dad let you come back here, unless you dug out something big on him.

My guess, you found out he's dating a man so you convinced him to let you come here, under the guise of going to college because that's the only excuse that would make your grandpa let you come back here." Soo-Min said.

"Wait, you know about dad...!" Seong-min questioned.

"That Your dad is fucking his hot bodyguard? yeah...I know...He stole the guy right out of my grasps."

"Umm, What?"

"Your dad and I both liked the guy!...But he likes your dad...sorry I never told you about that, your dad and I agreed to keep it a secret."

"Mom, did you guys divorce because you both wanted to date the bodyguard?"

"No, We weren't planning to divorce! I mean I was fine covering for your dad, it meant I would get a lot of freedom and money out of it...it just happened that when you got kidnapped two years ago, your grandpa made it look like as if your father divorced me because I was the one who brought you here, which led to you being kidnapped.

Basically that old hag made your father divorce me because he blamed me for everything that happen to you...i was his scapegoat.

Though, Your dad still paid me to shut the fuck up about him and the bodyguard, hehehe!" Soo-Min explained.

"So if it wasn't for the kidnapping, you guys were going to stay married, use it as a cover?" Seong-min asked.

"Yes and no, the truth is I was looking forward for this divorce a long time ago.

It's true I was benefiting from this marriage the most, but all the money didn't make me any less lonely...I should've never allowed your grandpa to persuade me with money.

it was all my fault."

"Don't blame yourself, I'm aware that you guys weren't in love, and that you were arranged to be married together...Grandpa picked you himself right?" Seong-min said.

"Yep, I should've just became an idol back then!

*Sighting* for God's sake I was so young, so skinny, i had great skills...I could've been a star...i could've got any man I wanted! Anyone! even women were attracted to me.

But I was also poor as fuck to realize that dream, and despite being a good cook, my little shop barely kept my bills payed.

My cooking skills are the reason your grandpa married me off to your dad, and I agreed because I was done being poor.

Your grandpa thought that if he brought your father a beautiful traditional housewife, he would finally man-up and start a family.

I still curse that day when your grandpa first came to my humble shop, became addicted to my food, said that it reminded him of his dead wife!

And then a few months later BOOM! I'm married to a rich man who's like 7 years older than me...AKA, your dad." Soo-Min said sniffing.

"Hey don't start crying! look at you now Eomma! you're still so beautiful and talented! so what if you've put on some weight? you're healthy as hell, it actually suits you a lot! Thick thighs save lives!

It's not too late to find love too! Have you seen the way guys gawk at you?! I don't get half the attention you do! Joel was looking at you like you're an open buffet and he wasn't even trying to hide it!

I heard that man only like women who can crush his head with their thighs! you're the type of girl that makes men like him bark 'Mommy'!

Also you have your own cooking show now, on ViewTube! And it's becoming a major hit! I love the idea of cooking and singing for your viewers, you even have a fan base!" Seong-min said.

"What are you talking about? I'm not that famous!...besides you're the one who suggested I become a creator on ViewTuber!" Soo-Min replied.

"And people love you! it's been two years since you started and you have a quarter-million subscribes, you have no idea how cool that is!" Seong-min said.

"My little princess encouraging me is the reason why I'm grateful I had you, Mwah Mwah!" Soo-Min said kissing Seong-Min's cheeks, "I just sometimes wish I never met your dad's family! I don't mean to disrespect them but you know how it is." she added sighing.

"You're right, sometimes I wish I was not a 'Young' myself...I have no problem with Grandpa wearing only traditional clothes, screaming all the time and asking me to be more modest, things like that are simple and manageable.

but sometimes I can't handle it when he speaks his misogynistic bullshit...I bet he's still trying to find a way so i wouldn't inherit the company, he's so ashamed that the only person left to inherit it, is a girl." Seong-min replied.

"Ughhhh, Enough about your father's gloomy side of familyyyyy! I wanna hear about you! My princess is here, safe and healthy! what more could I ask for!

Tell me, aside from Ha-yoon and that boy Cyrus, have you made any other friends? I'd like to meet everyone." Soo-Min asked.

"There's this nice girl, her name is Minnie, there's Rudy...Blake, oh! there's also Nikolai, although I'm not sure if he considers me a friend." Seong-min said.

"Who's Nikolai again?" Soo-Min asked, "Nikolai Parmar, the actor?! the guy Jin is dating." Seong-min replied.

"Lol, nice one." Soo-Min said giggling.

"Eomma, hold on! don't tell me you think I'm joking?" Seong-min asked.

"You became friends with your only favorite male actor, also he's dating your brother?...that's a little unbelievable." Soo-Min said.

"Oh right! you're not a fan of Nikolai, I mean you don't follow his news on social media, so you don't know that him and Jin are back together." Seong-min said.

"Mwo? (what?) back together, what do you mean back together? they've been together before, and now they're back together?" Soo-Min asked.

"So you really didn't see the articles or the videos? they're all over the internet! I mean I know Koreans don't really follow the news about an openly gay American actor, but it made the headlines cuz of Jin!

OHHh! you haven't seen Jin in almost two years! He dyed his hair red recently and got much bulkier, so you probably didn't recognize him." Seong-min said grabbing her phone, she quickly searched for the article, showing it to Her mother.

"Mid-eul su eobs-eo! (I can't believe it!)" Soo-Min gasped as she read the article.

"It's crazy right? Jin finally has a boyfriend!" Seong-min said happily.

"This is a celebration matter! is there a possibility we can take Jin and Nikolai out?" Soo-Min asked.

"I don't think that's possible...Nikolai's Mom is keeping him locked inside his house, he had an incident recently that caused him to be partially blind! Jin is taking care of him."

"How tragic and sweet at the same time!" Soo-Min said with a tear in her eyes, "If we can't take them out to party, we'll bring the party to them!" she added.

Suddenly, the door to the room swung open, "I'm on duty so I'll be going!...Seong-min stay out of trouble, and keep an eye on Cyrus." Joel said smiling.

Rolling her eyes, "What are you doing? are you training me to be your dog?" Seong-min said to Joel.

He chuckled at her, "You have been upgraded, from that position." Joel whispered to her winking.

"Officer, you're leaving already?" Soo-Min asked, "Yes, I just came here...to check on Cyrus.

And now that I did that, I should leave!" Joel replied with a red face.

"Hold on, you didn't give me your number! And We should also exchange our social media accounts, so we can stay in touch!" Soo-Min said stopping Joel.

"Eomma, Just let the detective go to work...I think he's gonna have a fever if he stuck around a bit more." Seong-min said sighing.

"Actually, I Don't mind! really!...we're in a hospital after all, in case I got sick." Joel replied smirking at Seong-min, he then pulled his phone out to give Soo-Min his number.
