Because I Love You (Tansae) Manhua

Title: Because I Love You As the first drops of rain splattered against the window pane, Hayoung stared out into the dark, stormy night. Memories flooded her mind, each one a piece of the puzzle that had led her back to this moment. She had fled her past, seeking solace in the distant lands of freedom and independence. But now, standing at the crossroads of her hometown, she couldn't deny the tug of nostalgia and longing that beckoned her back. The door creaked open, and her mother stood there, a mix of surprise and relief in her eyes. There was a tension in the air, thick and palpable, as they faced each other after years of silence. Words hung precariously on the tip of Hayoung's tongue, but fear held her back. Could they really bridge the chasm that had grown between them? Days turned into weeks, and like the slow dance of the seasons, a fragile connection began to weave its way between mother and daughter. Laughter mingled with tears, old wounds were prodded but also tended to with care. Each passing moment brought them closer, yet the unspoken truths lingered like a ghost in the room. It was on a stormy evening, the fire crackling in the hearth, that the dam finally burst. Emotions spilled over, raw and unfiltered, as accusations flew and hearts broke open. In that moment of chaos, amidst the wreckage of their past, something miraculous happened. Hayoung saw her mother not as an oppressor, but as a woman burdened with the weight of unfulfilled dreams. And her mother, in turn, saw Hayoung not as a wayward child, but as a lost soul in need of guidance. In the crucible of pain and forgiveness, they found a glimmer of understanding. As the storm raged outside, inside the walls of their home, a different kind of tempest swirled - one of healing and reconciliation. And in the quiet aftermath, with tears drying on cheeks, Hayoung and her mother shared a moment of profound truth: that love, no matter how strained or tested, will always find a way back home.
