She suddenly remembers the promise that she made. (FLASHBACK) While crying, “I promise I will tell you everything, mom.”.

“Yeah, I remember” she said while smiling. “It was when I got lost trying to buy teddy bear.”. “You should worry about what you promised.”, he says. Suddenly she realizes that she didn’t keep her promise. “Ah… I forgot about that. She must be angry right?”. “I don’t think she was angry but more like she was worried. You really have the wack to make others worry.”, he replied and Sora stares at him angrily. Jackson avoids looking at her eyes.

Next day she was discharged, and she went to live with her mother as she still needed to be cared and take a rest. She arrived at the home with the support of Jackson. Her mother is outside. She doesn’t say anything to Sora. Jackson took her to her room. “Take care, noona.”, Jackson says and when he was about to leave Sora hold his hand. Jackson looks confused so he tilts his head. “It’s just I am scared so stay with me for a while.”, she says begging him. He brings the chair and sits beside her asking, “Why are you scared, noona?”. “You know why I am scared. Mom hasn’t said a word to me.”, she says looking worried. “I am sure she wants to talk to you, but she feels guilty to talk to you.”, he says assuring that aunt is not angry. Sora doesn’t say anything but has worried look in her face. “Talk to her.”, Jackson says. Hearing this Sora looks at him. “Why do you think that she is angry? She hasn’t even scolded you. Don’t just jump to assumptions. Talk with her.” And he stands up to leave. Sora holds his t- shirt at the end. He turns back. “I am leaving so you can talk to her.”, he says and leaves. The whole day, her mother brought foods and medicine for her but hasn’t said a word to her.

‘She is not saying anything.’, she thought to herself. ‘What should I do?’. Then, she remembers Jackson saying talk to her mother. So, she looks determined to talk to her mother. In the evening, her mother comes inside with foods. Her mother was about to leave after putting the food by her side. The food was set in a very small table. She asks, “Mom are you angry with me?”, without looking at her. “I am not angry. Why do you think I am angry with you?”, her mother asks her. She slowly raises her head and tells, “You haven’t spoken a  word with me.”, she replies. Hearing this her mother’s expression changes to sadness. She could tell  that her mother looked sad. She sits beside her bed. “It’s because I feel sorry that I was not a better mother.”, she says. Sora denies it. “No, mom you are a good mother to me. You did your best to make sure that I have everything that I needed.”.
