Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Quality time with Mom(2)

In front of her was a beautiful, peaceful zoo. There was a massive tree in the center, its branches spread wide with colorful flowers blooming all around. Butterflies fluttered through the air, and birds flew in the bright blue sky, their songs filling the peaceful atmosphere.

She could hear the playful sounds of monkeys swinging through the trees, the soft splash of water from a nearby fountain, and the distant call of elephants. The whole area was enclosed by glass walls, making it feel like a magical oasis separate from the outside world.

Seoyang stood there, taking it all in, her eyes wide with wonder. "Seojun, this is beautiful... How did you find this place?"

Seojun smiled, happy to see his mother so amazed. "I wanted to bring you somewhere special. You deserve it, Mom."

Seoyang wiped a small tear from her eye, smiling warmly at her son. "Thank you, Seojun. This is perfect."

As they stood there admiring the peaceful zoo, Seojun suddenly took something out from behind his back. Seoyang's eyes widened in surprise when she saw what it was — a bouquet of her favorite flowers.

"Seojun!" she gasped, her hand flying to her mouth in disbelief. "Where did you find these? This flower disappeared five years ago"

Seojun grinned, putting a finger to his chin as if deep in thought. "Hmm... secret," he said with a playful laugh.

Seoyang playfully slapped his arm, shaking her head with a smile. "You and your secrets." She then looked around at the zoo in amazement. "I can't believe there are still normal animals... didn't they all evolve and become beasts some are monsters? How did you find these animals?"

As if on cue, a butterfly floated gently toward them, and a small bird landed on Seojun's shoulder, chirping happily.

"I got some help from Alex and Alexa," Seojun explained. "But let's not worry about that. Let's just enjoy this, Mom." He offered her his arm. "Here, hold on to me. What do you think? Do you like it?"

Seoyang smiled brightly. "I don't like it... I love it! It reminds me of the old times when Mom would always bring us to the zoo," she laughed, taking his arm. They began walking through the peaceful garden, watching as squirrels chased each other playfully.

Seojun smiled, feeling happy to see his mom so content. 'I'm glad she loves it,' he thought. 'It took me a month to arrange all this, but it was worth it.'

As they walked, Seojun pointed toward the big tree in the middle. "Remember how Grandma used to sit under that tree, Mom? We always panicked because she'd wander off to places so hard to find."

Seoyang burst into laughter, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia. "How could I forget? Despite her age, she always acted like she was young"

They both laughed, enjoying the precious memories while walking hand in hand through the peaceful zoo, feeling as if, just for a moment, the world hadn't changed at all.

Seoyang closed her eyes, taking a deep breath of the fresh air filled with the sweet scent of flowers and the sounds of animals all around them. It felt like they were in paradise.

"Seojun, thank you so much for this," she said, a smile spreading across her face. "I almost forgot that Earth was once this peaceful."

"Anything for you, Mom," Seojun replied sincerely. He paused for a moment, looking out at the beautiful surroundings before turning back to her. "I wasn't able to do anything for you back then, but now it's different." He took a deep breath, gathering his emotions.

"Happy 43rd birthday, Mom!" he exclaimed, a wide smile on his face.

Seoyang chuckled, her eyes twinkling. "I thought you forgot! You didn't greet me when I woke up, and I almost got sad." She pouted playfully, and Seojun scratched the back of his neck, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sorry about that, Mom. But at least I surprised you, right?" he said, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yes, you definitely did" she replied, beaming.

Seojun's expression grew more serious. "You know, Mom, this isn't enough for everything you've done for me. You raised me all by yourself, through all the difficulties."

Seoyang nodded, her smile fading slightly as she recalled those tough times. "It was hard, but I did it for you, Seojun. You were my everything."

"I know," he said, his voice softening. "You sacrificed so much for me, and I can't ever repay you for that. But I want to make sure you feel loved and appreciated, No more suffering."

Tears welled up in Seoyang's eyes as she pulled him into a tight hug. "You have no idea how much this means to me. Just having you here is the best gift."

"I'll always be here, Mom," Seojun promised, returning her embrace.

As they enjoyed chatting and walking around the zoo, Seojun led Seoyang to a small, sparkling river. The water glistened in the sunlight, and they couldn't resist the temptation to play in it. They splashed each other, laughter echoing through the trees, forgetting their worries in the moment.

After some time, they grew tired and sat under a large tree, breathing heavily from their play. The peaceful sounds of nature surrounded them, creating a serene atmosphere.

After a moment of silence, Seojun looked up at his mom and said, "Mom, I'm gonna fulfill my dreams that I couldn't five years ago." He laid his head in her lap, feeling comforted by her presence.

Seoyang smiled down at him and started brushing his hair with her palm. "Oh, about your dream of becoming a vet doctor?" she asked gently.

Seojun nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "Yeah, I want to help animals. It's what I've always wanted to do."

"I'm so proud of my baby! He didn't forget his dream," she said, her voice filled with warmth and pride.

"Well, I almost forgot about it," he admitted. "But when we were in the U.S., I suddenly remembered. It just hit me."

Seoyang chuckled softly. "You're gonna follow your grandma's path. That's very good, Seojun, but I don't think there are many vet doctors left in this world."

"Alex said he'd handle it. I filled up the form; I just need to wait for the entrance exam. He said it might take a few weeks," Seojun explained, feeling a surge of hope.

Seoyang's smile widened. "That's great! I know you can do it. You've always been hardworker." She pinch seojun nose.

"Thanks, Mom. It means a lot to me," he said, looking up at her. "I just want to make you proud."

"You already do," she replied, leaning down to kiss his forehead. "Just remember to take care of yourself while chasing your dreams. You need to stay healthy for me."

"I will, Mom," he promised, feeling a sense of warmth and motivation. "And I want you to support me all the way."

"Always, My baby boy," she said, her heart swelling with love.
