: Him

"WHO DID this to you?" my mother inquired. And Val grimaced as she placed a plaster on the bruise on her arm.

"My mother." Val replied, curtly.

My mother looked horrified. She immediately pulled Val into a tight hug and while the latter smiled softly, my mom rubbed circles on her back muttering sympathetic words under her breath.

"Why don't you stay here while I make you kids something to eat?"

Val squirmed in her seat and my mom noticed.

"Don't worry. I'll make it light."

When my mom left, Val turned to me with a small smile.

"Your mom is amazing." she whispered glancing at the direction of the kitchen. I nodded, taking a seat next to her. "I don't know what I did to deserve you, Hoseok."

Me neither.
