Chapter 143 - 6.26
As Kim mother’s mental health deteriorating overtime, Kim father began to seek pleasure outside. He went out a lot and often didn’t return home until the next day or two. He was caught cheating many times, but he was nonchalant. Thus, it was only Kibum and his crazed mother left in the house.
Kim mother would never feed Kibum unless he turned into Taewoo. Thus, the line between Kibum and Taewoo got blurrier, even Kibum couldn’t differentiate which one was his anymore. He just knew that Taewoo would always greet him in his dream before he slept or fell unconscious.
Taewoo never showed himself in front of dad, but he always showed himself in front of mom. It made Kim mother suspect that Kibum intentionally tried to suppress Taewoo in his head to make her look crazy.
The peak of her madness was when he was eight years old, his mother confronted him with a knife. The image of a gentle mother that would dote on Taewoo disappeared on Kibum’s mind. There was only a crazed woman with messy hair and swollen eyes.
She pointed her knife at Kibum, "Give my son back! I know you are trying to prison him inside you!"
"I—I’m not—"
Kim mother pushed Kibum to the ground, "I know you envied him! Because you are a burden compared to him! Give Taewoo back!"
Kibum was in severe emotional distress. He soon had a headache and fell unconscious, letting Taewoo took control over his body.
Kim mother was overjoyed when she saw Taewoo again. She dropped the knife and hugged him tight, "My precious son! Where have you been? I really missed you!"
