"So young but has a kid already." He whispered but enough to hear it by Empress Mina. She stopped rocking her daughter and said, "Why do you even care and for your information I wouldn't treat her as my daughter if I don't love her!. You know what? I'll go. I hope you won't get any good things in your life. Stay with your granddaughter" Empress Mina said and dragged her luggage out of the house. "Does that mean that girl is adopted?" He said. "Im not sure" Miss Yeri said.
She pulled the spare keys on her pocket and went inside the car. Sat on the backseat and let her baby sleep on her arms.
Not a minute later, She saw Chaeyoung and Mrs. Son coming with their luggages.
—
"Mina-ssi, Im so sorry about how my father acts. He's crazy"
Mrs. Son apologized. "Oh no, It's fine." Empress Mina said. "How's your daughter?" Mrs. Son asked. "Heejin's fine, Mrs. Son" Empress Mina answered. Chaeyoung drove so quietly.

"Bye, Chaeyoung unnie!!" Heejin shouts while waving her hand. "Bye, heejin-ah" Chaeyoung said and smiled at her.
"Mommy, can I go back to sleep again?" Heejin asked, "Yeah Sure, let's go inside" Empress Mina said and opened the door. They went upstairs and went to their room.
Heejin lay on the bed and closed her eyes. Empress Mina smiled at her daughter and started to hum a song and pats her daughter's leg gently.
'Heejin, Im not your real Mom but Im happy that you treat me like Im your real Mom. I love you' Empress Mina thought and smiled at the vision of her sleeping daughter.
"Heejin, Im sorry but I need to go!" Empress Mina said, I am here crying on the cold floor while watching my Mom look at me with sad eyes. "Mommy!! Don't leave me!!" I shouted, she didn't listen but instead she ran away with her bag on this cold rainy day. "Mommy, I love you" I said, I went out and lay myself on this green wet grass. Those drops of rain coming to me. "What did I do wrong?" I asked myself. "Mommy" I whispered. "Sorry......" I apologized and continued to cry.
I stood up and went in the middle of this wet road.
"Why did you leave me? Mommy?"...."M-Mommy help me" I helplessly said. Watching the truck slowly getting bigger. Those bright lights that almost blinded my eyes. That loud honk that almost made me deaf. Rain dropping on the whole road and on my body. "Im Sorry Mommy, I love you...So so so much" I said before feeling a hard bump on my body making me slide on this wet road. My vision becoming blurred, My ears hearing flat ringing. My body feeling stiff. "Sorry mommy" I apologized and closed my eyes. Love you, Mom.
Then I heard my Mom calling my name. I suddenly opened my eyes and saw white ceilings. Oh Thank goodness Im just dreaming.
"Heejin, Your sweating and your sick" Mommy said. "But Im fine Mommy" I said, I carress my neck and felt that's it's freaking hot. "Oh..." I said and looked at Mommy. She's holding a wet white towel. And lay it on my forehead. "I'll go get the medicine downstairs, wait me here" Mommy said, What if she'll leave me? Afterall Im not her daughter. As soon as my Mom went out I followed her.
Im standing here at the staircase watching her get the syrup and water. She saw me and quickly went to me. "Why did you follow me?" Mom asked. "I thought you're leaving me" I said. "I won't leave you" Mommy said and gave me a spoonful of my medicine. I drank water and went back upstairs.
I lay back down and puts the towel back in my forehead. I watch my Mom smile at me. "Mommy, If I ever did something bad at you. Im sorry, mom" I said. "Honey, You didn't do anything wrong. There's no need to be sorry about" Mommy said. "Don't leave me, Mommy" I said. She took out her pinky and said. "Promise, I won't leave you" She promised me, I hope she would fullfil that promise.
"I'll go downstairs, You sleep here" My Mom said. "Okay Mommy" I answered, I trust her. I trust my Mommy.
After a few minutes, I fell back asleep.
"Ah" I hissed in pain as I felt a sting on my head. "Where Am I?" I said and saw a white four cornered room. I saw a girl laying her head on this uncomfy bed, I tapped her hand. She looked at me and said. "You're awake" She said nd called the doctors. "Wh-Who are you?" I asked. She's wearing a black coat with a tube inaide and black pants.
"She's your Mom" The Girl told me. "I don't know her" I said, I saw her tears forming. I went closely to her and wiped her tears using my thumbs.
"Heejin" She called and held my hands. She's crying in front of me, I guess that's my name. "Im sorry, I don't remember you" I apologized. "Miss Myoui, that accident caused her an amnesia. But I think she'll be okay sooner. It's just temporary" I heard the doctor said. "Im sorry, Miss Myoui" I said. She hugged me, I hugged her back.
"Im really sorry" I said. "It's okay, Im sorry" She said. "Why are you apologizing to me? Miss Myoui" I asked. She freed the hug and looked at me with puffy eyes. "Im the reason why you're here. I left you and then they said that you got to an accident. A truck run over you, Im sorry, My daughter" After those, I felt pain in my heart and my head. Things started to flashback. Those sweet memories and that Nightmare, I almost died. The word sorry kept echoing in my head.
"Ah!!" I screamed, as I pull my hair and stomping my feet. I don't like this sound. This flat ringing echoing in my head. "N-No!!" I screamed. "H-Heejin" She called out before my vision became black.
"Mom!!" I yelled, why is it like that? I dreamt of it again. I hope this won't happen in reality.
"Heejin?!" Mom yelled worriedly and went to me. "Having a nightmare?" Mom asked, I nodded as a response. She hugged me and carressed my hair slowly. Since then, Mom has always been by my side whenever I sleep maybe when she isn't with me I'll have a nightmare.
"Mom, Sleep with me everytime. Please?" I said. "Sure" Mom answered. I hugged her and slept again but now on her arms. Mom, I love you. VERRYYY MUUCHH...

"I really hate Grandpa, He's so judgemental eversince." Chaeyoung said. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and saw that there's no bite mark on her neck. "Chaeyoung~" A old woman's voice. "Grandma?"
"Chaengie, Sorry for your grandfather's action. I never liked him, I got forced to marry him" She said. "I know grandma, That's why after I was 5 you got yourself drown. I want to save you that time" Chaeyoung said, still standing in front of the mirror. "If you didn't do that, You may have not drown" Her grandma said. "But atleast, My friend saved me" Chaeyoung said. "And that's the girl you love" She said. "Mina?" Chaeyoung got curious. "Yup" Her grandma sajd before disappearing. "Grandma, Go to heaven already. We're fine" Chaeyoung said.
"As you wish my granddaughter" Her Grandma whispered. And goes with that white bright light that has been waiting her for a many years.

"Mina is the one who saved me, I knew it. I hope she still remember our promise" Chaeyoung thought and slept on her bed.
That soft piano tunes, seeing the best girl of my life. Approaching me in her white long gown. I can't believe that Im marrying this girl. How lucky I am.
"Do you take Mina Myoui as your beloved wife?" The Priest asked. "Of course, I do" I said. "And, Do you take Son Chaeyoung as your wife?" He asked Mina. "As same as her answer" She said.
I kissed her on the cheeks and looked at her sweetly.
"If this is a dream, i don't wanna wake up"
"I said I don't want to wake up but look at me, Eyes Wide Open" Chaeyoung said and just went back to sleep.
