105. Even children have secrets
After Jiheon left, Youngmi became really sick.
I had no idea my son would be like this. I never thought I would abandon my mother for a woman.
It felt like the sky had fallen.
you were my everything
Youngmi was lonely the whole time she gave birth to Jiheon and raised him. Her husband, with whom she speaks only a few words a year, her own son, who is equally blunt, and her husband's ex-wife's son, who looks at her with unfavorable eyes.
He spent his entire life unable to even straighten his shoulders because he was trying to raise the spirits of three men. He was dedicated. For her part, she did.
I just hoped for a happy marriage for my treasured son. She wanted to see a woman from a good family and a good family as her bride, and see her live a strong and prosperous life.
I just hoped for a simple future where I would live with my daughter-in-law, who was affectionate and friendly, like a friend and sometimes like a daughter. That was barely enough. Her wish.
That simple dream was completely shattered by one Lee Jeong-oh. Now even the child who was the treasure of his life has turned around. I couldn't hold on to the child who left after casually saying that he didn't want to see me again.
How did I raise you? How could you do this to me... ... .
Memorable scenes passed through Youngmi's mind. The difficult and sometimes proud moments of giving birth and raising a child, the countless emotions I felt at that time... ... . Memories of the past were piled up like a mountain, but the empty future overwhelmed everything.
I felt like I was left alone in the desert on a pitch-black night.
As soon as the meeting ended after receiving a call from Ji-heon, Jae-gwang returned home, opened the door, and came into Young-mi's bedroom.
Although Jaekwang was scolded by his son's harsh isolation from his mother, he was able to understand his son on the other hand. My son must now start a new family as soon as possible. There should be no obstacles whatsoever when my son starts a new family.
So, I thought it would be a good idea to distance myself from my mother for a while. In the end, it was Jaekwang's job to change Youngmi's mind.
"honey. "Jiheon's mom."
"Don't call me."
"... ... ."
"Tell Jiheon. "She said her mother didn't even want to live."
"If you drive a nail into my son's heart like that, it will be bitter."
As his wife sharpened the blade, Jaekwang's voice naturally became cautious. Although they do not talk much to each other, the balance between the couple is not broken. It was an implicit rule for those who had been married for over 30 years.
"Jiheon can never leave you either. "I'll come back someday, so don't be too sick."
"It's because you didn't see how harshly Jiheon lashed out."
"Jiheon's mom."
Jaekwang comforted Youngmi again in a soft voice.
"Our granddaughter is really pretty. "There's a bit of a resemblance to our Jiheon, and maybe because you resemble Jiheon, you seem to resemble him too."
"... ... ."
"We picked out clothes for you and our granddaughter, planted a tree and flowers together in the garden, made a swing, and pushed it all day long. I wish we could clap together when we see a child's acting. "Someday."
