she is hesitant to pick up, but she's that nice so she picks it up.

she doesn't say anything, she lets him speak first to see what he has to say about everything she told him.

"jiyoung..."

"minjae" she didn't sound too happy on the phone.

"I guess I should explain..."

"yeah it would be nice if you'd explain why you walked out on your own family and your goddamn son who has hated himself for years because of you"

"I know but I just panicked"

"panicked!? your definition of panicking is running away and never coming back, never heard from for 2 years!?"

"jiyoung..."

"don't jiyoung me! you hurt our son! he was heartbroken for a long time, and I had to see it every day, he did nothing! he got up and barely spoke, when he came home from school he'd go straight to his room without a single word! he never came out only for meals! that's because of you"

"it's hard when you find out your son is gay"

"it's really not, when you love someone you don't give a shit about what they are, because you love them no matter what!"

"I'm sorry"

"it's way too late for sorry! don't even think about trying to contact minho because if you do and I see him heartbroken again, I will come after you and it won't be fun what I'll do!"

"why did you tell me everything then if you don't want me around!?"

"because I thought you should know what you did! he is your son after all, but you treated him like garbage his whole life anyways"

"that's not true!"

"ITS IS MINJAE! who made sure he ate every meal!? who drove him and picked him up from school every day!? who helped him with his homework if he was struggling!? who buys the groceries!? who does his laundry!? who buys him everything!? IT SURE AS HELL WASN'T YOU"

"love is the most important thing with a parent though"

"IF YOU LOVED HIM YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT AND BROKE HIS HEART!"

she hangs up and breathes heavily as the tears fall down her cheeks as she cries from her ex husband, who didn't understand how useless he was to minho.

...

"hi boys!" jiyoung smiles when she sees minho and jisung leave the hospital building.

"mom"

"come on, let's go home"

taejin comes behind them.

"thank you for everything taejin, I really appreciate everything you've done for my son"

"it's no problem, I love minho, and besides it's my job to treat patients anyway" taejin smiles at jiyoung.

"well thank you"

"just ask her out already" jisung lets out.

"huh?" minho looks at jisung.

"come on it's obvious taejin likes her minho! you can see the way he looks at her and he's always finding an excuse to talk to her, he's doing all of this for you as well, come on!"

"come on jisung enough with the nonsense" jiyoung says.

"I don't think it's nonsense" taejin lets out, jiyoung looks at him.

"oh"

"he's actually right"

"oh... well... then... yes"

"really?"

"is that okay with you minho?" jiyoung looks at minho who nods.

"sure, I'd much rather have him be around than my dad" jiyoung looks down when she hears minho say that, then looks back at taejin.

"I'll see you later" jiyoung says.

"sounds good" she leaves the hospital while taejin smiles that he finally was able to tell jiyoung his feelings, with the help of jisung of course.

the whole car ride back was pretty quiet, just minho and jisung being cute in the back.

when they arrived back to the house, jiyoung gasps when she sees someone standing outside.
