Elena's point of view

My parents can't believe their eyes right now.

They haven't seen Yukhei since he was sixteen, and here he is; now twenty-five. Kind of sad how they didn't try harder to search for their only son.

When they opened the door they welcomed me with open arms, when they seen him they almost passed out. Here we are sitting in the living-room staring at each other.

Mom: So how did you two find each other?
Me: I got my memories back, all of them.

My dad chokes on his tea, eyes widen like a deer in headlights.

Lucas: Way to break the ice.

My mom opens and closes her mouth.

Mom: That's fantastic!

She doesn't mean it.

Me: Is it though? You two lied about a lot of things.
Mom: Like what?
Me: Yuta, Junhoe.

She goes quiet.

Dad: We did it to..-
Me: Protect me? When will the lies stop?
Dad: I'm not lying. They put your life in danger.
Me: It was a car accident.
Mom: An accident that wouldn't have happened if Junhoe wasn't drunk!

She's not wrong about that, however it should've been my decision whether or not to be his friend again. I have no hard feelings towards him at all.

Me: Even before that, I remember you two being completely dictators over Yukhei and I's life.

When I became friends with Yuta and Junhoe they hated it, the boys were free spirited which made my parents panic.

But then coming between the only friendship I had was something I absolutely refused. When it came to that I put my foot down and threatened to run away if they didn't let me be friends with the boys.

Low blow, but those two were the only ones who made me feel like I was alive.

Mom: You went through a lot, it may have been wrong of us to manipulate your memories like that but it was for your best interest.
Me: No it was for your best interest.

Sure it's some things I wish I wouldn't  have remembered, but those situations made me stronger as a person.

Mom: Growing up I wanted you two to have the best lives possible.
Me: We weren't happy. Yukhei ran away for heavens sake!

She sighs.

Dad: We should have searched harder for you. We're sorry.

There's a lot of things they should've did.

Mom: Looking back we weren't the best parents, we weren't the worse either. Cut us some slack.

My blood begins to boil.

Me: I won't! You two were practically insufferable half the time, you gaslighted us constantly and never apologized for anything! Now you're sitting here offering some lukewarm apology?

Is saying 'fuck you' to your parents too harsh?

Lucas: If I didn't leave this house when I did it would've ended badly. My mental health was on the brink, I was always exhausted. I never felt like I was good enough to be your son, no, you made me feel like I wasn't good enough.

I frown, he's right. They were hard on me but they were twenty times harder on him.

Lucas: I couldn't take it anymore, I don't regret leaving. However, I do regret leaving my sister.
Mom: Your father and I have always loved you two. We may have been hard on you, but I promise it was out of love.

You see? It's always 'but', they never apologize without an excuse attached to it.

Me: I didn't come here for a reunion. I came here to understand why you two lied, but we've just been going in circles.

Lucas nods.

Me: Yuta and Junhoe meant the world to me. After the accident don't you think they needed me? Whether I remembered or not it would've been nice to know I had two people like them on my side. You told me I had two bestfriends that left me because I had amnesia! That wasn't true!

I'm so angry.

Even after talking I don't think this anger will ever go away.

Hongjoong's point of view

I walk into the house to see Char lying on the couch watching The Devil Wears Prada. A smile spreads across my face as she shoves a handful of chips into her mouth.

Me: Hey baby!

She gives me a small 'hi', her eyes glued to the screen.

Me: You haven't been in your little space in a very long time.

She stays silent.

Me: The baby is gone for the weekend with my mom.

Silence.

Me: You could slip into if you want, get a little stress reliever.

Nothing.

Me: You can color, draw, paint, dress up..-
Char: Joong would you shut the hell up?

I blink.

Huh? I scratch my head trying to process what my wife just said.

Me: Is everything okay?

She growls.

Char: My boobs ache, my appetite is all over the place, I keep shitting, and I have something stuck up my vagina to keep me from bleeding all over the place for the next five days. No Kim Hongjoong, everything is not okay.

Char isn't Char during her period. She's a totally different person, a scary person.

Me: Poor baby, is there anything I can do.

She glances at me, her eyes going soft for a second.

Char: Come cuddle?

Mood-swings boy.
