song of the chapter- No Matter Where by: M.C the Max

"How is work?" My mother asked me as I passed her a cup filled with hot ginseng tea, and I sat down at the end of the couch with my own cup in my hand. 

"It's going well... it wasn't until when I came back when I realized how much I've missed doing my work." I say as I took a small sip and sat back.

"I'm glad to hear that..." My mother said with a small chuckle. "Are you eating well?" 

"Mom..." I say as I cocked my head to the side as I looked at her with an obvious expression on my face. "I'm a married woman now-"

She shook her head. "I know, I know... it's just a motherly instinct to ask those questions even if  whether you are a married woman or not. You're still my baby." She says as she gave me a warm smile. 

"Yes, I'm eating well. How about you?" I asked her back. 

"Your father and sister keep me fatten up as possible... it's almost to the point of unbearable." She said and started to laugh. 

"As long as they take care of you really well, then I'm fine with that." I say, and chuckled. 

Ever since my mother's sudden stroke, my father and sister have been taking care of her even more than ever. I still felt bad that I'm not there for her like I used to anymore, but at least I know that my family members take care of her while I can't.

"Have you heard a lot from Taehyung? How is he doing in Vietnam?" My mother asked me while I was looking down at the remaining amount in my mug.

"Sujin?" My mother asked me again, and I lifted my head and looked back at her. 

"Huh?" 

"I asked you how Taehyung was doing in Vietnam?" She asked me again. 

"Oh, um... he's doing just fine!" I just say, swirling my mug around. "He's been very busy with his work, which is good." 

"Has he been calling you a lot?" 

"Um," I started, getting a little nervous with her question suddenly. "Yeah, he has. He has been checking in how I was doing, normal things like that..." 

Secretly, I had lied. He hasn't been calling me as regularly in the past week, and I was beginning to worry what was up about that with him. 

I was afraid to tell anyone though, assuming that I did, it would spark even more rumors revolving around us.

She gave me an odd look, but didn't say anything about it. "That's good to know... he'll be back in Korea in the near time, right?" 

"Yes, he'll be back in four more days actually." 

She sighed. "That's good to hear... he'll be back before Christmas then."
