I don't like that the author is trying to make Hyesung confront his mom again. Why is it always him who has to make the effort? He was a bigger victim of the circumstances handed to him than his mom was. I really hope that he doesn't forgive her because it just seems like a more realistic outcome. You don't have to forgive your parents for the pain they caused you just because they are your parents. They signed up to have you and bear that responsibility. But I get the icky feeling that the author wants them to make up, even if it means Hyesung has to be the bigger person. Not to be stereotypical but Asians, especially East Asians, hold strong importance in family ties and filial piety so it wouldn't be surprising if the author ended the story with the narrative of "family sticks together" and "blood is thicker than water". I hope I'm proven wrong tho.
