[M] The Punishment (1/1)

CHAPTER 11“Mom!” I waved at my mom when I saw her entering the mall, I was sitting alone on this coffee shop, After our life-threatening encounter with Hwasa, Jimin didn’t asked much about who she is, she might have felt how shaken I am. Nonetheless, I wasn’t really in the right mood to explain to her . After a while, she also bid goodbye because of an urgent  meeting together with her co-org officer.“Oh wheein honey!” She hugged me and I intertwined our arms. Suddenly, all of my doubts, stress and worries disappear. I looked at my mom and smiled sweetly. “Mom, How have you been?”, “I’m doing great honey, How are you?” She smiled at me and I lean my head on her shoulders. I found myself getting teary eyed. How long was it been since we bonded? I sighed.  “Is everything okay sweetie?”. I just hummed as an answer. “Let’s go shopping mom”  I dragged her around different shops around the Mall, I bought her different things: clothes, bags, pants and accessories. She sometimes suspiciously asked why do I have a lot of money, and I just laughed at her and say I landed a pretty big freelance job and paying me bucks. We were eating on this famous restaurant when I looked at the time on my phone, it reads 7:30 P.M, I still have 30 minutes left, God how I wish I can still bond with my mom. “So you were saying you’re doing a freelance job for a huge company?”“Yes, mom” I lied. “Oh, so that’s one thing I will make proud of to my friends.” She laughed heartedly and I just laughed with her.  “You don’t have to give me allowance every month mom” I smiled at her sweetly, “Just save your money for yourself. “  She caress my hand and muttered a silent Thank you. We stayed a little bit on the restaurant, talking about how are respective life has been, Mom said she meet a man on her new part time work. She also said she’s really a nice guy and she mentioned me a lot to him. I have no problem if my mom will have a new relationship, that woman deserves happiness the most.“How about you? Haven’t you meet someone yet?” she teasingly asked me, “Mooom!” I playfully whined at her. “You know, I have zero complain if you ever chose to be on relationship right?”, “I know mom, Gosh. This old woman, can we stop talking about it” I rolled my eyes to let her know I’m annoyed, She just laughed at me, “I maybe old to you but Mr. Jin told me I look like a 25 years old”  Mr. Jin, her soon to be boyfriend. I pulled a disgusted face, and again she just laughed at my expression. After a while, me and my mom decided to go home. “It’s a shame you have something to attend to honey, I would love to spend more time with you”, “I know mom, me too.” I looked down, We were already walking towards the exit when halt, “Oh wait mom.”  She looked at me confusingly, “Uhm, Can you accompany towards a drugstore?”, “Sure, for what?” I smiled at her embarrassingly.  “I will buy a pack of salon pass and pain reliever.”
