Four Letters (Chaeyoung×MiSaMo)

[55] Chances Given

When Chaeyoung opened her eyes, examining the room she saw Mina sleeping beside her. Holding her hand while her head was uncomfortably laying on a small space of the bed. Her body was seated in an uncomfortable position, but it's obviously the tiredness that made her able to sleep like this.

Meanwhile, Nayeon and Jeongyeon was quick to stand up and approach Chaeyoung as soon as they saw the young woman open its eyes. Nayeon with a still worried look on her face, held her daughter's hand on the other side.

"Are you okay now? Are you hurt anywhere?" She asked, the latter just shook her head. Jeongyeon watched over them as Nayeon continued to run her motherly side, asking Chaeyoung questions as if she was the patient's doctor.

"Mom, I'm okay." Chaeyoung smiled and swiftly shut her eyes from her mother's frantic actions. Forgetting that she was in the act, she almost thought that she got busted.

But Nayeon seemed to just let out a sigh of relief and finally stood up straight, draping her hands over her wife's waist.

"You got us so worried kid. What happened?" Jeongyeon was the one to ask this time, Chaeyoung pressed the buttons at the side of her bed to lift her up before answering her other mother.

"I just felt a little dizzy and the next thing I know, I'm already here." She simply answered with her eyes sneakily wandering around. Nayeon was quick to catch the constant turning of her head though.

"Are you looking for your friends?" Nayeon asked, Chaeyoung just nodded. "Dahyun is buying food outside, Jihyo and Tzuyu went to get you some clothes."

"Clothes? Am I staying here for a while?"

"Yes, we want you to take some proper tests. Mina's assistant said that you never got the proper treatment for your injuries when her parents found you. So we wanted to make sure there are no complications. That's okay with you right?" Jeongyeon was the one to explain it to her.

What more could she do? It was Jeongyeon who spoke, the one who has the upper hand over her. She's scared of the authority of her mother to even retort to the suggestion so she just nodded her head in agreement.

"I'll just take your mother home, she hasn't slept a bit." Jeongyeon said before grabbing Nayeon's purse on the couch.

"But-"

"No more but's Nayeon, you need some rest. Mina is here to take care of Chaeyoung." Jeongyeon persuaded her wife in the most reasonable manner. Nayeon couldn't really protest anymore since she actually feel really tired. "Wake Mina up, she'd like that." Jeongyeon added before she and her wife proceeded to leave, Chaeyoung and Mina was left alone in the room.

She looked over at the Japanese woman who's sleeping uncomfortably beside her while holding onto her hand. She stared at Mina as trail of thoughts began to surface in her head.

The dream. Was it really a dream?

It was hard to believe but it was hard to ignore either. Because all of the words said, the things that happened, and the evidences of it in reality just makes total sense.

The ring, it was identical. What she said? It would be harder to say that it's not true when just before she blacked out, she realized those things. Now, it suddenly made sense.

That the hate she has for Mina was a cover up for the love that she has for the woman. She realized that it was true, she was just mad but she never unloved the latter.

Now she gets why Son Chaeyoung had to open her heart again and let Mina in. Because once you get scared of getting hurt, you can never love again. Mina was her best love and she can't let her go, that's why Son Chaeyoung decided to love her again.

Chaeyoung finally got the side of herself that was left unforgotten in her head. She may never remembered everything, but she remembered enough to give this Myoui Mina a chance to begin their story again.

An elongated sigh escaped her lips as she lifted her hands and placed it carefully on Mina's cheeks. The warmth of Chaeyoung's hand woke the latter, and Mina was welcomed with a smile from her lover.

"Chaeyoung." She called out in a tired voice. "Are you okay now?" She asked, having the same level of worried tone from Chaeyoung's mother.

The younger nodded before laying on her side and scooting a bit on the opposite side of the bed. She tapped the space beside her. "You can lie beside me Mina, you seemed tired." She said.

Mina's heart fluttered so much that she couldn't even move from her seat. If not for Chaeyoung pulling her up, she would've stayed like that.

Her head was resting on the younger's arms and her body was held closer by Chaeyoung's other hand. Rather than feeling her heart almost exploding from the sudden gesture, she wonders why Chaeyoung suddenly acts like this after weeks of being distant.

"You're wearing a very uncomfortable clothes Mina." Chaeyoung said, indicating on the older's office outfit.

"I never got to come home ever since I took you here, I just can't seem to leave you no matter how much they told me you'd be okay." Mina began to feel a little more comfortable as she wrapped her hands around Chaeyoung's waist. Her face nuzzling on the younger's neck.

"You can go home, I heard Dahyun's here. She can take care of me for a while." Chaeyoung's hands traveled on Mina's hair, stroking every strand so carefully while constantly patting her lover's head. "Take a shower, get change and have a bit of a rest. You can always visit me anytime." She waited for the latter's response, but instead of words, she was answered with soft snores coming from the woman.

She pulled herself away a little to check Mina and saw that the woman is already in deep sleep. She smiled to herself, thinking that maybe she was the biggest comfort of Mina for her to fall asleep so fast in her arms right after waking up.

She was so wrong all this time. Trying to take away this woman's happiness because of her closed minded thinking. Not thinking widely enough that two years is a long time for nothing good to happen at all.

She was putting her walls way up high that she failed to reason her every action. Now she ended up not hurting only Mina, but also herself and everyone around her.

"Why don't you just tell her everything?" A voice of someone suddenly interrupted her thoughts. She looked over the door and saw Dahyun leaning over the wall staring at her. "If you take it any longer, you might really lose her. You changed your mind about leaving didn't you?" Dahyun walked towards the couch and fetched an apple.

She took a bite and looked at Chaeyoung with seriousness in her eyes.

"Why not just tell her what you remember?" Dahyun confronted.
