Mommy Issues

In The Morning :

Nia took her guitar to practice but she thought about Kris repeatedly. " Nia, what's wrong with you ? Focus on your work. I'll apologise to him when I'm comfortable. "

Nia couldn’t practice music that day. She started dancing but she felt really restless. " Maybe I'm hungry. "

She got ready and went to have breakfast. Noah came towards home " Sorry, Noona ( Elder sis ). Because of me you fought with eomma. I shouldn’t have eaten your cake. Here eat it. "

" Noah, you're so sweet. I could never be angry with you. " Nia pulled Noah’s cheeks. Then she ate the cake " By the way where's eomma ? I got up and she didn’t lecture me. " asked Nia

" She really likes our new neighbour. She went to invite him for dinner. "

Nia started choking on the cake " Invite.... for what ? "

" Calm down, Noona. He's new. Eomma wanted him to feel like he's not alone. "

" She doesn’t make me feel welcomed but she can make a stranger feel that. " Nia on her inner mind

Nia's mother came. " That young boy is so polite. "

" Wow, eomma. You personally invited our neighbour. I think you like him more than me. Why don’t you adopt him ? "

" My luck isn’t that good or else I would adopt him. "

All these talking made Nia forget that Kris is coming at night. " He's coming. What should I do ? What should I wear ? Wait, why will I impress him ? I'll just say sorry then case will close. " Nia on her inner mind

" Noona, what are you thinking ? Won't you get late for school ? "

" You're right. I'm going. " Nia ran away

Nia was thinking about Kris and he came in front of him. " You... Here. "

" I live here. "

" I know.... I heard you’re at our place for dinner. "

" You don’t want me to. "

" No.... I didn’t meant that. "

" How could I refuse when eomma.. your eomma invited me ? "

" Did he called my eomma his eomma ? He seems too interested on my eomma. " Nia on her inner mind

Nia is always focused on her work. She never dose off on her thoughts. But she was lost on a different world. She bumped into Myungsoo. Instead of yelling she said sorry.

" What happened to her ? Did she had a brain damage ? " asked Myungsoo

" She called a innocent boy pervert. Than he became her neighbour. Her eomma invited him to dinner. She's freaking out. " said Lyla

" I can't believe it. Nia is scared of something for the first time. That too from a guy ? " said Myungsoo

" You don’t get it. He's not a normal guy. I couldn’t impress my eomma in 17 years and he did that in 1 day. He seems very disinterested but his eyes lit up whenever he talks about my eomma. "

" Wait, I understand it. " Myungsoo got up

" Yea, I got it too. " Nia got up too

" He has mommy issues. " said Myungsoo

" He wants my eomma to be his eomma. "said Nia

" What's mommy issues ? " asked Lyla

" In the west, guys have different taste. They like older women. "

" I thought he wanted to get me out and be in my place. He'll get his revenge and he'll be my eomma's son. " said Nia

" It could be both. We can't take risks. " said Myungsoo

" What should I do ? Tell me, Myungsoo. "

" Be the ideal daughter. Apologise to that boy. And be ready for the worst. "

After School :

Nia went home directly.

" What happened to you ? You came home early. " said Nia's mom

" Eomma, let me help you in the kitchen. "

" Do you have a fever ? Why would you help me ? "

" Yaa, I just wanted to help. You're getting old. You know. "

" I'm still energetic than you. I don’t want us to get into the hospital by eating your food. Just clean the house. "

Dinner Time :

Nia's mind was all over the place. Her mom made a whole feast for Kris. The whole house was cleaned by Nia. All these for their new neighbour.

Finally Kris came. Nia found him really handsome in his dark green button up and black pants. He brought flowers.

" Sorry, I didn’t knew what to bring. "

" It's okay, dear. Your gesture is enough. "

Kris sat beside Noah. He was in front of Nia. Noah also quite liked him.

" You're so independent. You live alone. What do you study ? " asked Nia's mom

Nia said silently " He has good knowledge of physics. "

He heard it " I'm majoring in physics in Seoul University. "

Nia's mom was highly impressed " Nia is bad at physics. I wish she was as intelligent and polite as you. "

It's true Nia is weak in physics that doesn’t mean she had to be insulted like that.

" Do you have a girlfriend ? " asked Nia's mom

Nia hit her mom's hand " You can't ask someone that. "

Nia's mom was offering more food to Kris " I'm fine, Mrs Kim. "

" You can call me aunt or Ms Eun. "

Nia gets hurt every time when her mom removes herself from her Dad because she's close to her Dad.

After they finished eating Kris went to leave but Ms. Eun gave lots of food to him. He couldn’t take so much so she made Nia go to. She can also help him.

Nia was annoyed.

Kris said " Your eomma is very sweet. "

" Enough, I know about your plan ? "

" Plan ? "

" Yea, you want to impress my eomma than live in my house But I don’t know what will be your position. As a step father or a adopted brother. "

" What are you saying ? "

" I know you have mommy issues. You have a thing for older woman. Am I right ? "

I know this story is slow but I wanted it to be realistic and relatable. I hope you guys are enjoying it
