Four Letters (Chaeyoung×MiSaMo)

[27] To Equal Your Love

I was quietly sitting on a bench as I admire the kids in the park running around while playing with their parents. Some are eating snacks with their mom while some are playing different types of games with their dads.

While watching I can't help but wonder that if mom and umma didn't adopt me before, would I have this kind of life too? Would I have been in a park playing with my dad? And would I be eating snacks that my mom made for me? I wonder if my real parents are good people like my parents now, I wonder if they're the type of parents that'll love me like mom and umma does.

"What are you staring so intently?" A girl suddenly asked from behind me. I turned around and saw the person that always completes my day. My favorite person.

I smiled at her. "Nothing." I answered and immediately stood up to give her a hug. "Why are you so late?" I pouted, eventhough she won't see it. She's the one I'm waiting for that's why I'm here.

"Sorry, my boss gave me extra work. So let's go?" She apologized and I nodded, we walked hand in hand out of the park when suddenly we saw a guy came running towards us calling out to her.

"Sana-chan!" Her workmate called out one last time as he pulled into a stop in front of us. "Boss wants you back, your parents are looking for you at the bar. They're dead mad because they thought we were hiding you." Her co-worker at the bar said it panicking, he's almost running out of air.

I guess this girl caused trouble again.

"Did you ran away again?" I confronted her and she just nodded. I sighed and held her on both of her shoulders. "Don't do that again, your parents must've been worried at you." I sincerely said and she smiled weirdly at me.

What she did next was totally out of the topic, she kissed me in front of her co-worker and all the people in the streets.

"You're really the best Chae. I love you." She just said before running away with her co-worker, "See you later!" She shouted before leaving me here all embarrassed because all the people are looking at me.

Damn you Sana. I just walked away from there as fast as I can and got back to my dorm. I held my face and I can still feel the heat of embarrassment from earlier.

Sana is like that, she's very affectionate, but it was the first time that she did it on public.

She was a very sweet and caring girl, that's why I love her. But she's on the state of being a rebel right now, she likes hanging out at bars just drinking all night and playing, she doesn't like to study that's why her parents are trying to fix her up but she doesn't like that, that's why she kept on running away from home. Geez, that girl.

I don't have my parents beside me now but I suddenly missed them because of the situation earlier.

Thinking back from earlier, now I can't really help myself but wonder where my real parents really are.

I'm an adult now, so I can look for them right?

"That's when it started. I searched for a month alone before I knew who I really am, and the one who told me the stories about how I ended up as your daughter is your ex-driver." I said to umma, and she seemed to be listening to me attentively.

"I remember him, his name is Jackson, he was the designated driver that Chairman Son gave to me. He quitted when the Chairman gave you to me, and I don't know why." She said. "I'm so sorry you got to know this through other people Chae, I should've told you." She bowed her head down.

"Umma, I told you already. I don't hate you for anything so stop apologizing please." I reminded once again and she just smiled.

I was taking my time talking to umma when I shot up to my feet in shock after remembering something. "Momo is waiting for me in the car. I should go umma I'll come back tomorrow." I shortly bid goodbye and ran outside.

Her car is still there and she seems to be still inside the car. I opened the door and saw her just staring straight at the road and holding the steering wheel tightly. She was so preoccupied that she didn't noticed me getting in.

Suddenly, I felt bad for Momo. She had to went through all that just because of Chairman Son. But I still wonder why he did that, I thought he doesn't care about me?

But my concern shouldn't be that right now, it should be Momo. So I escaped my own thoughts and turned my attention to her.

"Momo." I called out lightly and she seemed to be shocked when she got back to herself and saw me, her eyes are puffed out of crying. "Let's change seat I'll drive home." I said and was about to get off when she held my arms tightly.

"Chaeyoung. Let me explain first, please." She pleaded, so I sat back into the car and faced her.

I held her hand and gave her a smile. "You don't have to, I understand you Momo." I said and pulled her into my embrace. "I'm so sorry."

Momo had it tough in life because of me and I'm so guilty about that. If I had known I wouldn't have said that to her earlier, I was too mean.

I heard her sobs so I let go and faced her. "What's wrong?" I asked her with a worried expression on my face.

"Please give me a chance Chaeyoung. I know you love Mina but please give me a chance. I can't be her but I can be the same person that you loved before. I could be the same Momo I promise." She cried out as if she's begging me so badly to give her something very important.

I wiped her tears with my thumb and gave her a kiss under her eyes. "I don't deserve these tears Momo. Please stop crying." I said and hugged her again. "I might not be able to love you now, but I will try my best to be a good wife to you. I will live with you Momo so you don't have to worry about it."

After I said that, her cries became even louder. "I-I love you C-Chaeyoung. I love you s-so much." She said under her sobs, as she held onto me tighter.

"I would try to do that also Momo. I would try."
