Seojun sat quietly, his mind full of questions. Why did Uncle Shaun suddenly have a change of heart? Why did he regret it now? After all those years of ignoring us, why did he suddenly care enough to save Mom's life? It didn't make sense to him. He always saw his uncle as cold and uncaring even change his surname.
For so many years, Uncle Shaun wanted nothing to do with them. Seojun remembered how his mother had begged her brother for help when things were really hard. She had asked for money, anything to help them get by but Uncle Shaun never answered. He had turned his back on them and went to the US, avoiding them completely.
As Seojun was deep in thought, his mother gently held his hand, her touch warm and comforting.
"Seojun," she said softly, making him look up at her, "I know it's hard to understand, but your uncle regrets turning his back on us when we needed him."
