"My mother is downstairs. You... You have to go back to her before she comes up to look for you."
But Tae-Hyun did not budge even after I said that. He looked at me and then grabbed my arm.
"I don't think that's an issue." He said and then rolled his eyes away. "She went out so you can relax. Besides, even if she's in the house right now, why would she suspect a thing? She's the one who told me to have a fun bonding time with you."
"L—" Lies. I wanted to say those words because the mother I knew wouldn't care about me in the slightest so why would she say such a thing to Tae-Hyun?
I didn't believe him but... He was putting in such an effort that my heart couldn't help but beat in relief.
Still... There was still sadness.
I clutched his arm.
"You have to tell me what's wrong." He said, looking disturbed by this situation. "How else am I gonna fix things?"
I shook my head.
