Flashback 10 years ago when Y/n was just a student.....

Today our exam results are gonna be published. I've tried my best in this exam. So I'm eagerly waiting for my results.

Mr. Kim also didn't spell a single word during this copy checking time. I have asked him many times at home but he as always threw his same dialogue.

"Who knows?"

Mr. Kim finally entered the room with exam sheets and results.

"Today's result is totally a different one. I am very much surprised as well as delighted to see the sudden change of results." He said and I can feel the excitement of the whole class.

"Y/n, stand up. Are you sure you wrote all the answers correctly?" My heart skipped a beat hearing those words. I have tried my best but still I couldn't make it.

I stood up and nodded my head.

"Congratulations! You've stood first all over the school," he said throwing me his best smile. Hey! Is he that grumpy man from before? He's looking more excited then me? What happened? I'm still standing without any emotion while all the eyes were on me.

I only realised when Sun-hye pinched me from back. The words finally got into my head and I came out of the shock and smiled.

"I am passing the papers. Everyone please recheck it and inform me if there is any problem, okay?"

I finally got my papers and all the result sheets were marked with either 98 or 99 or 100. This is my first time seeing those numbers on my sheets.

"Well done!" I heard Mr. Kim whispered while passing by me.

I only smiled him back.

I came home running after school.

"Grandma! Grandma! Grandma! Where are you?" My scream surely made the whole neighborhood informed that something has happened.

"What happened? Why so loud?" She replied watering the plants at backyard.

"Surprise!" I hugged her and held the papers before her.

"Y/n?" She looked at me surprisingly if I was lying or something.

I nodded and she pulled me in a hug.

"God bless you. Well done. I am so proud of you," she cried out the happiness. For the first time I saw her like that. I also cried resting my head on her shoulder.

"Fool! Why are you crying?" She said and pulled away from the hug.

"You are crying too!"

"No!no!no! These are not cry these are the tears of happiness." She squeezed my arms and hugged me again.

"Wow! I was expecting something like that!" Mr. Kim said while parking his bike.

"Mr. Kim, my Y/n did it!" She said excitingly," all thanks to you."

"I didn't do anything. It's all her efforts," he said looking at me.

"Exactly, why are you giving away my credits?" I pouted.

She laughed and went inside after saying," I will cook both of your favourite food tonight."

" So...Ms.Y/n?" He said standing before me.

"What?"

"Nothing!"

"Then why did you call me?"

"There is no reason," he said and headed towards his room.

Same regular dialogue. I rolled my eyes. I entered my room and decided to pay visit at my mom's cemetery.

I wore a simple black and white dress. It's one of my favourite dresses and went to the cemetery with a bouquet of lavender and buckwheat. Those are my mom's favourite flower.

"Mom, so many days have passed. I couldn't gather my courage to meet you with my miserable state. Although I wanted to make you regret for leaving me here all alone but I still miss you a lot and grandma also misses you. I know you're watching me from the stars. Your girl made it finally. So for being ruthless all those year and also sorry for not to come and visit you.

Did you forget me already? I've grown up really pretty as you expected. I may have loose the noble virtues you've taught me but I am trying to live my life in a total different way. In which way I'll be happy. Hope you can forgive me and pray for me. Let's meet when we're destined to be together. Love you mom." I kissed the picture frame that was kept above my mom's ashes and some belongings.

Somethings are really difficult to face always. For me it's my mother's death. I don't deserve to be treated by my family like this specially my father. I have been taken care of by grandma it's not a long time. Before that I used live with my dad, my stepmother and half sister and brother. In absent of my dad my stepmother continuously abused me.

After witnessing that my Grandma bring me here to live with her peacefully in full love and care. I owe her my life. I'll make sure to give her a happy and peaceful life too in future.

I came back near at the evening.

"Where have you been so long, dear?" My grandma asked while setting up the table for dinner. I saw Mr. Kim to help her with the chores too.

"Mom's cemetery," I replied putting the handbag on sofa.

"Oh! But you've never visited after your mother death. So today?"

"I felt like being a bad daughter till now was enough for her to regret leaving me there alone." I pouted and went to kitchen for helping thek.

"Miss your momma?" Mr. Kim whispered into my ears.

"Ummm..." I nodded.

"Not bad The unruly girl has a soft side too," he said taking the bowl of ginseng soup outside on the dining table.

I walked out of the kitchen with Korean curry and kimchi. We had dinner together. Grandma spoke about some memories of my childhood.  How I played piano perfectly at my age 4 because of my mother's fascination.
