You and your dad had finally moved into your beautiful new home and gotten everything unpacked, and you were having a get together with close friends. Your neighbors were very nice, and the house was peaceful without your mother yelling throughout the halls.

Although, you did miss her. She was your mother, and you worried about her, even though she wasn't the greatest to you.

"What's up, kiddo? You look troubled."

Your dads voice brought you from your thoughts, and you shifted on the couch. "Yeah, I'm just worried about-"

"Mom. Yeah, I know. Me too." He sighed. "I haven't heard from her."

"I know she did some pretty messed up things to us, but I'm worried about her. I mean, you don't think anything happened to her, do you?"

"No, she's probably doing just fine on her own."

You sighed. "I wonder where she's been and what she's gonna do now."

Your dad smiled and patted your head. "You are one considerate young lady."

You chuckled. "She's the woman who gave birth to me, I can't just not care about her."

"You could stop caring, but you didn't, and that says a lot about you, Y/N."

You nodded as the door bell rang, and you got up thinking it was one of your neighbors. When you opened the door, though, it was your mother instead.

"Oh, hey."

She smiled at you. "Is your father home?"

"Yeah, he's here."

"Can we all talk?"

You nodded hesitantly and let her in, and she smiled at your dad. He told her she could sit on the couch, so she did, and it broke your heart. Not that she sat on the couch, but that she was being told where to sit, as if she wasn't your mother and instead, a stranger to you and your father. You sat down next to your dad and looked at your mother expectantly.

"I wanted to apologize." She paused. "I know I can't take back what I did, or what I said, because I was extremely in the wrong to do all of that to the two of you. I also came to say that Mr. Kim and I are not getting married, and I'm moving to Ulsan."

Your father sighed. "Thank you for telling us, even though you didn't have to. We were worried about you, though."

"You shouldn't be worried about me, not after how I treated both of you."

"You're our family, we can't just not worry about you." You mumbled.

It got quiet after you spoke, so you looked up from your spot. Your father was looking down at his lap, and your mother was staring at you with a look you couldn't describe on her face.

"Can I talk to you, Y/N?"

You nodded and stood up to go outside. Your mother followed you and shut the front door, then she turned to you.

"I'm sorry about everything. I shouldn't have put you and your father through all of the trouble I caused. I didn't realize what I lost until I lost it, and that was an amazing family."

"Why did you do it?" You asked.

"Do what?"

"Everything."

She sighed. "I was put through the same thing when I was your age. I was forced into the family business, and forced to marry your father, although I ended up truly loving him. I didn't know how to raise a child any other way, than to raise them the same way I was. I assumed that you would end up being okay with everything in the long run, like I was, but I was wrong."

You nodded. "Very wrong."

"I'm sorry. I know you won't forgive me, or at least not for a long time, but I hope everything works out for you. I hope you and Hyunjin are happy, and I hope you and your father are happy as well. I said some pretty harsh things during the last month or so, but I do love you. You are my sweet, caring, beautiful daughter, and I will think about you everyday."

She pulled you into a hug, and you couldn't help but hug back. She was still your mother, and you still loved her.

"I hope you do okay in Ulsan."

She pulled away. "Thank you, Y/N."

You gave her a weak smile and watched her walk off, and when she got in her car and drove off, you went back inside.

"Remember that time in seventh grade, when Y/N tripped and went face first into one of the lockers?" Yejoon laughed.

"Hey," you chuckled. "That hurt really bad. My lip was busted for nearly a week."

"Y/N, you must've been a super clumsy kid." Taejin chimed.

"Oh, she was." Your dad said as he came into the living room. "She was always so focused on other things, that she forgot to pay attention to what was in front of her."

You smiled and looked over at Hyunjin. "It's okay, Y/N. I always thought it was cute."

He kissed your cheek and rested his head on top of yours. Mrs. Kim came into the living room moments later and sat next to your dad.

"How are you guys liking the new house?" She asked.

You sighed. "It'll take some adjusting, but, it's a new start in some ways."

Hyunjin started to get up and he looked at you. "I'll be right back."

You nodded as you watched him go into the kitchen. "I agree with Y/N, but this will be good for us." Your dad said.

"It's a lovely place." Taejin complimented.

Yejoon gasped. "I know right! They always get the nicest places!"

You laughed and looked towards the kitchen. "Y/N!" Hyunjin called.

You got up and went into the kitchen, where Hyunjin was standing there with his hands behind his back. You walked up to him and smiled.

"What's behind your back?" You asked.

He smiled. "There isn't anything behind my back."

You raised your eyebrows at him. "Prove it then."

"Okay, you got me."

He pulled out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back. He handed them to you and grabbed your waist, so he could pull you against his chest.

"You mean so much to me, Y/N. I can't imagine a world without you in it, and I'm so grateful for you." He paused and smiled. "Will you be my girlfriend?

"Took you long enough." You smiled and cupped his cheek. "Yes, Hyunjin. I will happily be your girlfriend."

His smile grew and he leaned in to give you a loving kiss. After everything that happened, you were seeing how many great things it brought to you, and there would only be great things from here on out.

"You will forever be my godsend, Hyunjin."
