Finding out.

Yumi inserted her spare key and opened the door to her mothers fashion boutique.

“Hello?” She called out. “Mom? John? Why is the door locked? I have burgers for lunch!” She walked through the reception area in search of her mother and friend. “Are you guys here?”

Yumi checked the office area as well as the storage rooms but found no sign of them. She opened the door to the modelling rooms and stopped dead in her tracks, dropping her lunch.

“WHAT THE FUCK!” Yumi screamed. Staring at John and Mei’s completely naked forms.

John was holding Mei easily in his arms while his thick shaft speared into the older woman. The two had been embraced in a kiss before Yumi’s scream alerted them. They both separated quickly and made to cover themselves with their clothing that lay on the floor.

“Yumi wait!” John cried out.

But it was too late, she had stormed off not bothering to pick up her bag of burgers.

“I thought you said you locked the door!” Mei accused.

“I did!”

A realisation dawned on Mei, “Fuck! She has a spare key! I completely forgot!”

“What should we do?” John was ****.

Mei paused while throwing her blouse over her head quickly, not bothering to put a bra on. “Don’t worry… I’ll talk to her.”

“What the fuck, Jane!” John furiously typed.

“What?” His computer responded.

It was Sunday afternoon and John had rushed home after the incident, immediately hurrying over to his laptop.

“You said they were fine with sharing!”

“They are! Trust me. Yumi is just shocked is all.”

“She seemed more than just shocked!” John was panicked.

“John… Trust me…”

“Yuyu!” Mei cried, chasing her daughter to her bedroom.

Yumi stormed into her room and slammed the door behind her shut, leaving her mother in the hallway.

“Don’t 'Yuyu' me!” Yumi shouted back.

“Please can we talk about this…” Mei said softly.

There came no response. Mei waited for a long while before sitting down with her back against the door. Jeong appeared at the end of the hallway and approached his wife.

“What’s going on?” He asked.

“Oh… nothing…girl stuff… we’re fine.” Mei responded.

“Okay… well let me know if you need anything.” He said calmly while leaving.

Mei sat at Yumi’s door for close to an hour, she could hear nothing from her daughters room but her phone ringing. Eventually she spoke again. “Please let me in Yumi. Please…”

She heard soft footsteps approach and the door opened gently. Quietly Mei entered the room and shut the door behind her. Yumi sat down heavily on the bed, a completely frazzled look on her face. Mei sat next to her, noticing her daughters phone on the bedside table had several missed calls from John. Together they sat in silence for a few long moments.

“Yu I’m sorry.” Mei broke the silence.

“You have nothing to be sorry for… He’s not my boyfriend.”

Mei gave her an amused look and rolled her eyes sarcastically. “Oh please, you thought I believed that you two have just been ‘studying’ in here for the past two months?”

Yumi gave an alarmed an uncomfortable look to her mother.

“Yeah… I know you’ve been sleeping together.” Mei laughed slightly. Yumi looked straight at the floor and said nothing. “And I know he obviously means something to you… and I’m sorry.”

There was a long pause, “How long have you two been…” Yumi asked.

“About a month.” Her mother said quietly.

“A month!” Yumi gasped and flopped back onto her bed, covering her face with her hands.

“Yuyu, I’m sorry!” Mei quickly consoled, putting a hand on her daughters leg, “It’s just that well…”

“Well, what?” Yumi asked.

“It’s just that your father has never been able to satisfy me like John can and…”

“Mom!” She exclaimed, disgusted.

“It’s true! I’m sorry if it’s too much info, but it’s true!” Mei paused and then pushed on, “To tell you the truth I haven’t been feeling very happy lately. And a man hasn’t looked at me the way John has in a very long time and honestly John makes me feel wanted… Makes me actually feel good about myself.”

Yumi looked up at her mother and saw a deep sadness in her eyes, and felt only empathy for her. “Mom, I’m sorry. I had no idea.” She sat up and embraced her. “Does dad know?”

“Oh god no, he doesn’t give a shit about me.” Mei said dejectedly. “It’s been nice to spend some time with a man who actually does, you know…”

Yumi desperately hugged her mother.

After a long moment Mei added “… especially one as hot as John.”

The two had a small giggle together. “I know right? He’s like photoshop in real life or something.” Yumi added with a small grin.

Mei nodded with a smile and they sat hugging for another moment. “Your room is a mess.” She laughed, noticing the scattered clothes on the floor.

“Yeah I know.” Yumi laughed too, happy that the tension had been lifted.

Mei chose her next words very carefully, “So… are you okay if I still… see John?”

Yumi looked into her mothers eyes and saw how much she wanted her to say yes and simply nodded.

“Are you gonna keep seeing him too?” Mei asked.

Yumi nodded again. “If that’s okay with you…”

“Of course it’s okay honey, I don’t care. What are you gonna do about Justin though? Your father would be pretty upset if you two broke up.”

The thought of Justin made Yumi roll her eyes. Her mother laughed at her reaction. “He actually knows about us.”

“About you and John?” Mei was shocked.

“Yeah, it’s this whole thing with him… I guess he get’s off on it or something.”
