Melodies Of Rain
#FORTY SIX

While walking home to the apartment, Yun-bi and Seo-jin accidentally meet again. Seo-jin is still wearing her school uniform.

"Noona, we meet again" said Seo-jin.

"Seo-jinlos. Where'd you? It's been this night still haven't come home too?" ask Yun-bi. The two stopped to talk for a while.

"I usually go home this night. A lot of bimbel classes are time-consuming," Seo-jin replies.

"You study hard, yeah! It must be very tiring to have to take many maple classes at the same time," Yun-bi said.

"That's normal," Seo-jin replied. "Noona, just got home from work?"

"Yes. Where do you live?"

"On the road Y," Seo-jin replied.

"We're not in the same direction. Then you go home quickly. Don't make your mother worry!" get Yun-bi.

"Yes, Noona. I'm headfirst. Good night!" farewell Seo-jin.

"Good night. Be careful on the road!"

"Em," Seo-jin nods and walks in opposite directions. Yun-bi also continues her journey back.

...☂️☂️☂️...

Seo-jin arrives home. When he stepped in, his mother was already waiting in the living room.

"Eomma?" Seo-jin is nervous.

"Seo-jin, where are you going? Do you know what time it is?" ask Su-yeon, Seo-jin's mother.

"A, I just got home from the stand," replied Seo-jin nervously.

Su-yeon folds both her hands to the chest. Then walk closer to his son.

"When did you learn to lie? Do you think Eomma doesn't know? The teacher in your bimbel class called Eomma. He says you haven't been in class for a few days" asked an angry-looking Su-yeon.

Seo-jin did not dare to answer. He kept his head down because he realized he had done something wrong.

"Answer, Seo-jin! What did you do to skip bimbel class? You think getting in there doesn't have to pay? Eomma painstakingly worked to send you to school, is this the payoff?" ask Su-yeon.

"Eomma, from the start I didn't want to get into the bimbel class. Eomma forced me to go there. I am tired of having to keep learning and learning. To the extent that there is no time to rest or play," Seo-jin replies.

"Seo-jin, I am doing all this for your good in the future as well. We live in a big city with a high cost of living. If we don't have higher education, who will hire us? You'll have plenty of time to play after this. But the time to study and school was very short. Eomma wants you to be a doctor. If you become a doctor, your life will be guaranteed, too" Su-yeon explained.

"I told you I don't want to be a doctor! Akh ..." reply Seo-jin. He left his mother with a feeling of disappointment.

"Seo-jin!" Su-yeon calls her son but is not listened to.

Su-yeon hopes that her son will become a doctor. Therefore, he takes pains to work hard alone to send Seo-jin to the best school. Moreover, Seo-jin is about to graduate from high school. Su-yeon goes the extra mile to be able to enroll Seo-jin to a medical university.

Su-yeon separated from her husband a few years ago. From his marriage only blessed with a son, Seo-jin. Su-yeon manages to take Seo-jin with her. Seo-jin's father still lives in Seoul. Sometimes unbeknownst to Su-yeon, Seo-jin still often secretly visits her father. Su-yeon doesn't like Seo-jin seeing her father for fear that her father's bad nature will affect her son. Since he was laid off from the company he worked for, Seo-jin's father has become an alcoholic and unemployed. It was also the cause of the divorce of his parents.

Seo-jin slams down the door of her room. He threw his bag on the floor and then threw himself on the bed. Su-yeon's wish feels heavy to her. It is like a heavy burden to bear. How not? Being a doctor is not his desire. Plus he can not escape from the wishes of his mother who he thinks is too high. Seo-jin really feels tired. Therefore some days he skipped from the limbel class to give time for his mind to rest for a moment.

Today Cassandra finally left the hospital. After doing the examination and making sure his condition is fine, the doctor also allowed Cassandra to go home.

"Miss Kim, remember to come in control once every month! The medicine also do not forget to continue to be taken," the doctor said.

After the doctor leaves, Harlem helps Cassandra with her stuff. Siwon also comes to pick Cassandra back home to Harlem. Siwon even volunteered to become a driver so that Harlem could accompany Cassandra.

Arriving at the Harlem house. Siwon carried Cassandra's belongings from the trunk of the car into the house. Harlem leads Cassandra to her room to rest.

"All the stuff I put in" Siwon told Harlem.

"Thank you, Siwon. Sorry, it's been a big deal for you!" reply Harlem.

"Ah, not at all. While I'm still here, I'll definitely come to help" Siwon replied.

"Sora, how are you?" siwon asked Cassandra who was already sitting on the bed.

"I'm fine, aren't I? As you can see now" replied Cassandra.

"Remember to take your medicine and often go into control" Siwon said.

"Yes, chatty! You don't have to remind me of that" Cassandra said.

"really. You take it easy, Siwon. There's me who will take good care of him" Harlem said.

"Yes. I believe you!" siwon.

"So, the plan is definitely going home tomorrow?" ask Cassandra.

"Yes. I've booked a plane ticket" replied Siwon.

"Bought it? Harlem can accompany you to go buy it" asked Cassandra.

"no need. I've bought a lot of souvenirs. My scheduled departure is tomorrow morning so I won't be coming here again. I say good-bye to you now" Siwon replied.

"Tomorrow are you leaving at what time, Siwon? Let me take you to the airport" Harlem offered.

"no need. I can go by taxi. You can't leave Sora alone anyway. You have to take care of him" Siwon refused to Harlem.

"Am I a little boy who can't be left alone and has to be taken care of?" cassandra protest.

"For a while it should be. You're afraid to be reckless and do strenuous activities. Hahaha." said Siwon.

"Just kid!" cassandra's reply. Harlem is laughing.

"So, how's Siwon? Shall I take you?" ask Harlem again.

"no need. Thank you," replied Siwon.

"Siwon, remember your promise! Don't tell anyone about my condition, especially appa" Cassandra said.

"Yes. I promise! I'm not gonna tell anyone. I've also brought your medical examination results here. So it's safe, no one will know" Siwon explained.

"thank you. Give my regards to Yun-bi. Tell her I'll definitely call her after my business is done" Cassandra said.

"Rushan?" Siwon repeated the word.

"I can't say wait after my health is restored, can I?" Cassandra.

"Oh, yes, I get it," said Siwon.

After saying goodbye to Cassandra and Harlem, Siwon returned to his father's house where he lived while in HK.
