A/N : This chapter is shorter than usual but still interesting. Enjoy !! 💖

Sheesh... He drives me crazy!

Great... Now I have to face eomma and tell her why I'm so late. What do I say? Should I tell her the truth?... Pfft. As if.

I walked up to the door and turned the door knob, trying to be as silent as possible.
" You can't escape me Y/N. "
I sigh and open the door fully and step inside. I see my mom sitting on the couch, one leg over the other and her arms crossed.
Uhuh...that's not a good sign.
I gave out a nervous laugh.. " Ahaha! Escape? What are u talkin-"
" Save it. Why are you late? "
Damn it what do I sayyyyyy?!

" Uh... I-.. Um Lisa had some work and since nobody else had a car, I had to wait for her to finish so she could drop me.. "
That's....partly true ehehe.
Eomma raised her eyebrow and said " you could have just taken the bus. "
" I didn't have any money! "
" These situations have never stopped you from walking before. "
" Eomma !! That was ONE time. ONE TIME. "
She let out a smile and said, " Alright Y/N. I trust you. I hope you aren't doing anything stupid. "
I roll my eyes, " No I'm not. Damn Eomma. I might as well get a job cuz I just had an interview. "
She laughed and said, " Your dinner is in the fridge. Go on. "
I went to the fridge and noticed...
It's almost empty.

Nothing but 4 cups of microwave ramen, milk, eggs, kimchi and some veggies were lying in the fridge.
There must be some serious financial issues going on...

Lisa's words ran through my head.
She's trying to manage everything... I don't wanna burden her with more expenses...
Instead of asking Eomma to pay, should I start with a job at the stables first and save up money for myself to pay the fees?
I sigh and plan to worry about those thoughts at another time.

I heat up the ramen and I realized something.
" Eomma? What did you want to tell me?"
Her face lights up instantly and a large ear to ear smile spreads across her face.
" Oh yes !! How could I forget? Come here. " She says, and pats the seat next to her. Just at that moment the microwave beeps and I take my chopsticks with the ramen cup and walk over to the couch.

"So... What is it? " I ask her, shoving a bundle of ramen into my mouth.
" When you left, I sent my CV to many companies, and a few hours later, I received a call. It was the Woodlands highschool. "
I raised my eyebrows, " Oh! The one a few blocks from here? "
She nodded her head and said, " Yes that's the one. They said they only had one post left and that was the Korean Literature Teachers post. "
" Omo that's perfect for you Eomma!!"
" Yes and that's why I took it !! I've got the job Y/N !!! " She said.
I squealed and jumped out from the couch and hugged her tightly.
" After everything that's happened, you deserve it Eomma.. "

A thought flashed through my mind.
"Eomma ! Does this mean we can rent a horse trailer and bring Night back?"
She smiles and says, " Ye-"
At that moment, her phone rings. Her face goes pale and her smile drops at the number...
F/N..
" What does he want? Don't answer it Eomma. After everything he's done, he doesn't deserve anything from you."
She looks down to the floor and says, " I have to take this Y/N.. he's still my husband and your father after all. "
Before I could reply, she answers the call.
" Hello? What is it? " She says with no emotion in her voice. I could hear his voice but his words were muffled.
Even though I couldn't hear anything, I could see the impact of his words on her facial expressions.

She glanced at me and walked up to her room, with the phone still to her ear as she nods and replies in whispers to him. I sighed and laid back..
What does he want now..? Why did Eomma even answer his call? He's nothing to us anymore.. maybe.. he's still something to her.. I can only imagine her pain. The man she once loved, now abusing her and drinking his life away...

I was dragged out of my thoughts when I saw Eomma walk down the stairs.. I noticed her eyes were puffy and red.. she had cried... I immediately went up to her and brought her to the couch..
" Eomma... What did he say? Why did you cry? Did he threaten you? "
She holds my hands tightly and says... "Y/N... It wasn't about me.. "
I furrowed my brows in confusion..
" What do you mean? "

"Y/N.... Y-your father... "
She paused and looked at me, as though the news she was about to tell me would shatter me..
"Eomma it's okay.. you can tell me.. I can handle it.. "
She sighs with a shaky breath as I look at her with pleading eyes.

" Your father sold Night. "
