The sun was already shining on the city of Seoul. The morning dew had disappeared and was replaced by a hot day. It seemed that the atmosphere in Mrs. Woomi's house was a bit chaotic.
"Hurry up, Chanyeol! We have to leave early and give Chaeri a birthday surprise today."
"Alright mom, I'm coming. Chanyeol ran while carrying Chaeri's 24th birthday cake."
"Yeah, faster faster, Chanyeol slowly. Even though mom told you to hurry up, don't run later and the cake will be ruined."
Chanyeol sighed
"What, my fat mother is even worried about the cake from her own child. Mom said we need to hurry. So quickly get in the car."
"Isshhh even jealous of the cake. Basically, a child is jealous of love. Quickly find a son-in-law for me. Just a handsome face but nothing"
Chanyeol put his index finger in his mother's mouth to tell her to remain silent. They got into the car and Chanyeol gave the cake to his mother.
Then, Chanyeol pressed the gas pedal and drove and pressed the brakes, and pressed the gas pedal again.
Her mother's body was thrown forward and backward.
"Yeah, Chanyeol. Don't mess with the brakes. The cake almost fell off"
Chanyeol just laughed out loud at his mother. This is what he really wanted all this time, the love from his mother. Not like his love for his father ...

Chanyeol knocked on the door of Chaeri's house. However, Chaeri did not even open the door.
Wanting to knock again Chaeri suddenly opened the door and
Tokk
The sound of knocking came from Chaeri's head. Chanyeol knocked his head.
"It's hurt, why did you even knock on my head."
"Hihihi, sorry. I didn't mean to."
They entered Chaeri's house. They sat on the sofa and Chaeri went to the kitchen to serve water to them.
"Just stay here, I want to make water for all of us," said Chaeri while swinging her hands.
This is their chance. Mrs. Woomi immediately took Chanyeol's car keys and took Chaeri's birthday cake.
They both do not know what will await them both for celebrating Chaeri's birthday...The stitches may open again.

Baekhyun arranged his case file on the table. Since his meeting with Chaeri at the Cafe that day he still remembers it.
Yixing came to greet him.
"Yes, my handsome junior lawyer came to work today. I haven't seen you in a long time since the accident three months ago.
"Ohh, Hyung. I'm fine. I was in a coma for 2 months in the hospital. My doctor advised me to stay in the hospital to make sure my accident wound was completely healed."
"Cih cihh cihh, your fortune is huge. After losing the baby and then losing your wife and mother do not care about you either. Aigoo my junior must be difficult to live alone"
"Hyung, I have told you many times not to bring it up to me again. I do not want to recall my past."
"Oooh sorry, I forgot." Yixing scratched his head and said in his heart
"So careless, you i***t Yixing why did you leverage that thing again."
"Argghhh already, I want to be alone. There are still many cases that I have not solved because they have been delayed for 3 months"
Yixing left feeling guilty for reopening Baekhyun's wound.
Arggh so Chaeri is not a person with wounds, Baekhyun is also there. Hihihi my head is fibrous thinking what is the idea ??
***
Mrs. Woomi persuaded Chaeri to stop crying because she had been crying because she remembered what happened to her on her 15th, 16th, and 17th birthdays
The point is this. On Chaeri's 15th birthday, a good friend in his high school committed suicide. In fact, she did not have time to get to know him well.
And again on Chaeri's 16th birthday, she was almost r***d by his own biological father but his stepfather came to save him, Nam Do -Il's father Do Kyungsoo.
And again on his 17th birthday, his mother was killed by someone. She was also expelled from home at an early age and was even r***d by someone at such a young age.
So that's why Chaeri no longer wants to celebrate her birthday because it will not only open one wound but 4 wounds at once. Chaeri life is very sad ...
"Mother is the one who is guilty because she was too happy to welcome her earlier. It would be nice if I fell in the house earlier and destroyed her cake"
"Yes, I am the guilty ones, the stupid mother, a careless mother."
"Mom do not do that, I do not blame anyone. I am guilty because I am weak. I am not strong even I have promised in front of my mother's grave not to cry but the proof is I cried here."
"I will not cry anymore. Stop blaming yourself and hit your head. Later if mom is sick who will take care of me. Hope Chanyeol Oppa he just rarely visits me"
"Hahh rarely doesn't Chanyeol come to visit you every night. Chanyeol do not tell me you lie to me all this time."
Chanyeol also ran away and ignored his mother. His mother then advanced and chased. His mother chased and threatened to pinch him if he was caught.
Chaeri giggled to see the two of them running after each other in the living room. She started to get his happiness back and for a moment she just wanted to feel this happiness in the world and there was no meaning in pain.

Baekhyun got up early in the morning and opened the balcony window of his house. She started to breathe fresh air and get rid of all his problems carried by the wind...Heh if it could be done like that, everyone in the world would have no problem...
Chaeri also went to the room window and opened it and closed his eyes to breathe fresh air in the morning... When she opened his eyes she was surprised to see Baekhyun was next to his house. Didn't he see Lu Han living there a few months ago...
She even dared to greet Baekhyun
"Hello, handsome man. Do you remember me? We met at the Cafe a few days ago."
"Yes I am really handsome.and I remember you Park Chaeri, my lover. Long time no see. Do you miss me."
"And before you ask me a question I will answer it first. No, I am not amnesia..I just pretended not to remember you but my heart is really sorry for lying to you that day"
"Boo, b***h lawyer, a fraudulent lawyer, and a crazy lawyer. That title is most suitable for you.
Baekhyun just laughed and covered his ears when he heard Chaeri was very noisy and shouted at him incessantly.
"Chaeri why is your voice so loud..Who are you talking to? Later we will be ashamed to be reprimanded by neighbors"
Mrs. Woomi scolded Chaeri for being too noisy while chewing the food in her mouth. Then she told Chanyeol to look at Chaerii above.
Chanyeol ignore it
"Ckkkk, I'm enjoying watching MV Blackpink right now mom. Please wait until I finish watching it 10X first" he answered while looking at his phone
"It's up to you Blackpink fans. I didn't care."
***
"Why do you miss me?. Is your heart beating fast when you see me living next to you? Are you also sad when I pretend not to remember you."
Chaeri's cheeks began to redden. Yes, she admitted that she started to miss the man and was sad when she told him that she did not know him.
"Yes, indeed I am happy and sad at the same time. Crazy lawyer policy."
"Oohhh, so you already love me yes"
"Yes ..." he answered in a low voice.
"What did you say I want to hear it again"
"Yes, I like your policy of crazy lawyers and b***h because it can soften my heart .."
Baekhyun immediately jumped for joy and shouted loudly
"Park Chaeri is my lover from now on..Don't ever have another man approach him"
Chaeri then went back into the room and jumped on the bed and covered his face with a pillow.
***
"Chaeri, mom wants to go home first. Take good care of yourself and don't be naughty."
Mrs. Woomi kissed Chaeri's forehead and turned to the side when she heard a man's voice calling Chaeri's name.
"Chaeri, how are you. Did you sleep well yesterday"
"Who are you and what is your relationship with Chaeri?"
"Mom, she is my lover...He is the one who saved me from the bus accident 3 months ago"
"Don't believe him Chaeri. He is just pretending in front of you. He is very dangerous for you."
"Stay away from him. I beg you not to choose this man as your lover. If mother says that he is dangerous it means he is dangerous."
"And you don't ever want to hurt Chaeri. Be prepared if you hurt her." Mrs. Woomi then got in the car and left.
"Oohh, who is Chaeri why did she yell at me like that."
"Ooh sorry, my mother..Oh wrong she is not my mother she is the person who has taken care of me all this time. I just used to call her that."
"Oh so. Today we will date somewhere. What do I suggest at the ice cream shop."
"Okay," said Chaeri
They both walked together holding hands. And they had seen an ice cream shop across the street.
Chaeri released Baekhyun's hand.
"You walk first. Later I will run and continue to hug you when you get there. Romantic isn't? .."
"All right, I obey your orders Park Chaeri .."
The traffic light is still red and Baekhyun is waiting for Chaeri across the street.
He did not know that it was not Chaeri's real intention to tell him to go first.
Chaeri said in his heart.
"Is it true what you did Chaeri. Is it true that Baekhyun is as evil as in your dream and what Mrs. Woomi was talking about just now ..."
She shook his head.
"No, he is good. The proof is he saved you Chaerii."
"Don't believe him Chaeri. He is just pretending in front of you. He is very dangerous for you."
"Stay away from him. I beg you not to choose this man as your lover. If mother says that he is dangerous it means he is dangerous."
"And you don't ever want to hurt Chaeri. Be prepared if you hurt her."
Mrs. Woomi's words came back to haunt her head.
"I have to prove it."
Chaeri walked over to Baekhyun and she stopped in the middle of the road
The car came from the front of Chaeri and strangely Chaeri just stayed there and did not run away.
"Prove to me Baekhyun. If you save me it means you are good and if you let me die it means you are a bad person."
Chaeri said in his heart.
And the man did not come to my rescue.
Why???
