Broken promises

Picture

"Do we have to get out of bed?" Oh Yoon-hee asked her girlfriend as she hid underneath the blankets. Su-ryeon chuckled.

"Yes, honey. We promised Logan we would join him to celebrate his new contract and the beginning of a new business," Su-ryeon replied, pulling the blankets away. Oh Yoon-hee groaned.

"But it's raining," Oh Yoon-hee complained, looking out of the window.  The sky was gray and there were drops of rain decorating the window. They could hear the wind playing with the trees and their dry leaves. Su-ryeon rolled her eyes before leaning in to kiss her softly. "Now that's better," she replied, putting her hands around Su-ryeon's waist. The older woman moaned. Oh Yoon-hee knew her soft spots.

"Mom," Ro-na said, entering their bedroom without knocking. Su-ryeon pulled back and turned to look at her. She licked her lips, feeling her cheeks turning bright pink. Oh Yoon-hee smirked. She loved these moments.

"Yes?"  both women said at the same time. Ro-na smiled and got in bed with them. It was becoming part of their daily routine to spend some time together in bed watching tv shows or just talking about their days.

"Do we have to go? It's raining," Ro-na said, covering herself with the blankets. Su-ryeon laughed.

"Like mother, like daughter," the older woman said, chuckling. She stayed a little longer in bed and then got up. "We're Logan's family and we will accompany him," she said before going to the shower. Ro-na turned to look at her mother.

"Don't look at me like that. You know that she won't change her mind when it comes to Logan. They're like siblings, so go and get ready to congratulate your uncle," Oh Yoon-hee said half joking, half serious.

"Do you think she's fine with me calling her mom?" Ro-na asked her, concerned. Oh Yoon-hee smiled at her daughter as she nodded.

"She loves it," Oh Yoon-hee replied, softly. Not many weeks ago, Su-ryeon had told her that Ro-na had called her "mom" when they were cooking lunch. "Have you heard from the twins?"

"Yes. Seok-hoon told me that he's visiting us next week. As for Seok-hyung, he said that she's not ready to see mom yet. He said that she needs time away from everybody to see things clearly, but I know that she will show up soon...Even if she hates me for being her new sister," Ro-na said, hugging one of the pillows.

"I'm glad that you and Seok-hoon are friends again. Seok-hyung is jealous, but she will get used to having to share her mom with us," Oh Yoon-hee replied, sitting on the edge of the bed. Ro-na nodded.

"Hye-in told me exactly the same thing. Oh, speaking of her, she's bringing her boyfriend to the restaurant, so please, tell mom to behave and be nice," Ro-na said, chuckling. Yoon-hee nodded. Su-ryeon could be overprotective sometimes. They heard the bathroom's door opening and turned to look at Su-ryeon. She was wearing a black dress and black heels. She looked beautiful.

"Stop gossiping and get changed or we will be late and we won't hear the end of it," Su-ryeon replied, seriously. Both women nodded and did as they were told. Ro-na left their bedroom and Yoon-hee kissed her girlfriend and went to the bathroom to get changed.

"I love it when it rains," Su-ryeon commented when they got out of the car. Oh Yoon-hee looked at her and smiled. Ro-na pulled out her umbrella and took a deep breath. She loved the smell of wet earth. Oh Yoon-hee joined her girls and put her hand around Su-ryeon's waist as she brought her closer to her, for they were sharing a black umbrella and she didn't want her to get wet.

"And I love you," Oh Yoon-hee replied in a whisper. Su-ryeon smiled and sighed. She couldn't believe that they were finally together as a family. She couldn't be happier.
