she stopped speaking for a moment and became bitter smile on his lips. "But they still broke up. Do you know the reason?" he said as he looked at the man next to him. "Because mom has another man. It's funny, isn't it? They're both cheating on each other. Ever since they broke up, they've had their own lives while I was left alone. The the once happy family that I used to have suddenly changed and disappeared. That's why I had a trauma on myself.
