I started crying. "Eomma."

She walked over to me and hugged me. I felt her looking over my shoulder at Sweet Pea.

"Who is this?" She stepped back.

"This is Sweet Pea, my chingu... well my boyfriend actually. He's been taking care of me since a little after I arrived." I explained.

She walked over and hugged Sweet Pea. "Thank you for watching over my baby."

"Uhh, in all honesty... she took care of me for the most part." Sweet Pea was obviously uneasy.

"Eomma, he's not a hugging type." I wiped the tears from my face.

She smiled. "That's right, he's the strong and silent type."

I laughed a bit. "I wouldn't say silent, he's a loud person when he's really happy or pissed."

"Not too dissimilar from F.P." She paused. "Well Hyeon, do you need anything from Sweet Pea's?"

Sweet Pea and I looked at her confused.

"We're going back to Seoul." She spoke.

I laughed. "You're joking right?"

"No, we need to go back." She said.

"Why? There's nothing for us there other than thugs that want revenge on your husband, who's dead by the way, after he stabbed me." I raised my voice slightly.

"Speaking of dead, how are you alive?" Sweet Pea asked.

"The doctors revived me and I paid them to tell Chan I hadn't survived." She cocked her head.

"Emmoa, I'm not leaving Riverdale, I have the South Side Serpents, I have friends, and I have Sweet Pea. I won't just leave all this behind to be a criminal." I tried my best to stay calm.

My mom sighed deeply. "Dongyoung."

"Yes, ma'am." Dongyoung stepped out of the car.

"Find us a place. But I have one condition for us to stay." She stared at me.

"What is it?" I asked.

" You have to stay with me and stop wearing that thing." She pulled at my jacket.

I scoffed. "You want me to stop being a Serpent? No way in hell."

"I don't want you to stop being Serpent but we'll be living on the Northside and I prefer you didn't show it off." She pulled the jacket off me and held it up. "It makes you a target."

"It makes me safe, I have people to protect me... and people don't fuck with me when I wear it." I took it from her.

"Just have Sweet Tea hold on to it for you." She smiled.

"His name is Sweet Pea, like the flower." I handed him the jacket.

"Madam Park, I found us a place. It's right next to a place called The Pembroke." Dongyoung stepped forward.

"Let's go, you'll see him tomorrow." My mom dragged me to the car.

We got in and I watched Sweet Pea out the window, he ran his through his hair before throwing my jacket at his motorcycle.
