"Shh..."
Chaeyoung cooed her little angel in her arms who's crying, her little voice booming in the empty flat they are currently living in now.
"It's okay, Mama is here." She cooed, nuzzling her nose into her little one's. She had been trying to stop her from crying for almost 10 minutes now and still nothing happened. She already checked her diapers and it's all dry and clean. She knows she's hungry but she wouldn't take the bottle with milk she prepared.
She doesn't know what to do anymore to make her stop crying because her heart breaks to see her little angel cry, as if longing for someone.
She did everything, made her laugh, tickled her gently, told her stories...but to no avail. She already ran off things so she ended up crying with her.
Chaeyoung's daily life will be like this, waking up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for her and chill for a while until her daughter wakes up. Watching TV with kids nursery songs played in the background as she sang along with her. When she cries, it's her cue to feed her the milk she bought at the supermarket. Though she isn't used to the taste of it because she had been into breastfeeding.
Used.
They will take a bath together before and before she goes to work, she will wait until the babysitter, Halmonie who lives in the same building apartment as her, before going to work.
Chaeyoung would usually look into space, staring at nothing, tears uninvitedly flowing down her face before proceeding to work. She, all the time, questions herself on things in her life; why is it happening to her? Why would she leave her and their little angel without saying goodbye?
She doesn't know where and how she got wrong.
She provides, she helps by taking care of their daughter, she cooks them food. She did almost everything to be the perfect wife for her, and to be the perfect mother for their daughter. They love each other, god, she loves her so much.
They were perfect, ever since high school they were inseparable, love made their bond stronger, their relationship stronger. Graduating together with latin honor, it was what they called, 'couple goals'. They reached their dreams together, she had become a creative director to a well known company in Korea, while Mina had become a designer in a prestigious luxury brand.
"Mina..."
They live the life they want. Until she proposed and got married at the age of 24. Happy and content with the life they had. They decided to build a family, rented a more spacious apartment (where they currently live), planned everything until one day she surprised her with the best news that she ever had heard, she's pregnant. She looked after her more, take care of her more until she had to give birth to their first healthy child, Katsumi.
It was perfect. They were perfect.
Coming home after a long day of work, pampering them with kisses and hugs. Mina resigned from her job to focus on their daughter more because Chaeyoung could cover all their expenses though they came from a very wealthy family, except that she isn't close to them anymore. However, they wanted to be independent on their own and climb the ladder of their dreams.
