Perfect World

Chapter 59

Mina POV

As I arrived at my home, I can see my mom and dad car was there. So, that's mean they are home. I walk inside and I heard my mom call me from the distance while I made my way up the stairs. I laid on my bed from the exhaustion. My whole was nearly shutting down. I didn't have the strength to move. I was planning to eat later at night, cheer practice get me crazy afterwards. I decided to push myself back up off the bed and started to take a shower. I have been crying everyday, been slacking in my school work and losing sleep. I turned on my television after I got out and started to flip on the channels. There was nothing really on so I decided to go on Netflix.

I still couldn't find anything and I could tell its late considering outside my window was pitch black. I turn on a movie but put it on mute because sometimes I like to just lay down with no noise but to have the feeling that I have comforted me. My bed covers still had Chaeyoung's scent lingering around and I couldn't help but cuddle deeply into it. I miss her. The way she wrapped me up, the sensation when her lips were on mine. I miss how I used to run my hand through her hair. A loud grumble from my stomach erupted and I guess I should probably eat. Making my way to the kitchen, I opened the fridge. I guess I'm eating leftover. I turned around to see Ray laying on the floor and he started to make a high pitch whine causing me to smile at him.

"Hey, buddy." I mumbled.

I sat down next to him on the hard wooden floor and stroke his head. At the same time, I was eating my food and making sure he didn't try to steal it from me. I laughed when he kept sniffing my hand for the food.

"You're up late." My mom voice echoed startling me.

I looked up to see she had a frown. I wanted to walk up and leave, I was still bitter from her lie. I just didn't understand why she would hide it from me. Before I could get up she gently set her hand on my leg.

"Please don't go." She said.

I pursed my lips in hesitation.

"I miss my daughter. I miss you. You know you can always talk to me right? I'm sorry for everything." She said.

I miss my mom too. I let myself settle back down on the floor. She let out a sigh. She come sit next to me, held my hand softly. I don't know when, but my tears already fall on my cheeks. She pulled me into a hug.

"Just cry baby. I'm here." She said softly to me.

With that, I sobbing hard in her embrace. I miss her, I miss Chaeyoung. I miss everything.

"I don't know where to start. I know you must be furious with me. But I need you to understand that I didn't want to hurt anyone. Especially you and Chaeyoung. That's why I was hiding everything from everyone. Until you dad find out about the file. I'm so sorry, sweetie." Mom said still hugging me.

"I-I miss her so much mom. I hurt her. I pushed her away from me. I just let me anger and mad over take me. Now, I lost her." I said.

"No. No. I see how much she love you. And how much you love her. She will come back to you. Just give her some time. She's hurting as much as you are. I'm so sorry." Mom said.

"No, I know how much you hurting too. I'm sorry." I said.

"What are you two doing up so late?" My dad yawned near the fridge.

Great.

"The file honey." My mom said pulling away.

Her eyes were locked on mine. They were filled with empathy and sorrowful. 

"So? We know how her dad kill our son. She should know that, so our daughter didn't get along with a killer." Dad said emotionless.

I was losing my temper. I felt my jaw clench and fist balled. How dare he? How could he talk like that? My mom was trying to keep calm with him but he just being an emotionless prick. He always so caught up with himself. He turn around and opened the fridge and before my mom could speak he put his hand up telling her to stop. Usually when he does that we have to stay silent. I was fuming. But before I could speak my mom cuts me off.

"Do you want me to lost another children, Akira?" Mom asked in anger.

"What?" He asked emotionless.

"You know what I mean." My mom just scoffed.

Then, his eyes goes wide.

"How dare you! Don't you blame me for what happened! He was killed in accident by that drunken ass man! He the one should be blame. And his daughter turn, our daughter to rebel and gay!" My dad yelled.

"Its all because of you! If you just let him be what he wants to be, he won't left this house with furious. He won't be outside drove like a crazy people! He won't be crash! Its all your fault!" Mom yelled.

Dad gasped. I can see his eyes show some anger and hurt. What?

"Now, you making her just same as him. I don't want to lose any child anymore. Please. Its not all about you, Akira! She's has her own life. So, let her be. Chaeyoung was the one she love, just let her be. She's still our daughter. She's still our baby." Mom said.

"Even is Chaeyoung's dad the one who crash our son, you know its not Chaeyoung's fault. How could you blame her? You know how hurt she is, how fragile she is. You know her story. How our daughter tried to save her. How our daughter wants to fight for her. How our daughter in love with her. I hope now you were happy, you didn't just destroy Chaeyoung's life, but your own daughter." Mom said now already in tears.

"It is true, dad?" I said.

I stood from the ground holding both my hands in front of me. I heard my voice crack and felt a tear fall. My dad stood there staring at me in disbelief. I couldn't hold it. My face was hot and red.

"How could you do that? You make me blame Chaeyoung when she does nothing to this. When everything was your fault at first! Just because you don't accept me, you make her suffer. Not just her, but you own daughter. You make me pushed her, when she need me the most! You make me lost her!" I yelled.

My voice starting to hurt from how I was yelling. It shocked me considering I was cheerleading and I yell most during practice and games. Tears kept falling down hard and I felt the heat rush to my head and I slammed my fist down on the table.

"Mina-." I cut my dad off.

"No. You know what's hard for you to understand?" I asked.

He straightened his back, waiting for me to give him an answer.

"A person who didn't try to understand other people and a person who didn't accept his fault, you know what's that called.." I paused looking at him.

"A coward." I said calmly.

Not a pin dropped in the room. Everything felt slow and I can feel the heat rush out if my system. I wanted to drop to my knees from exhaustion and pain but I couldn't stand to look at my dad. I guess letting out anger was a good thing but I lost my appetite again. I headed up to the stairs which is my mom hug me before I walk away. I wanted to collapse, my chest was burning from the argument. Why does this have to happen?

Before reaching to the top, I heard loud knock at the front door. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Who the heck is at my house in the middle of the night? Yet I thought to myself, could it be Chaeyoung? I start to make my way to the door with hesitation and fear yet I was a bit excited. I just hope it was her. I fixed my hair, straightened myself back up and ruled my sweatshirt against my eyes wiping the tears away. My hand were inches away from the doorknob and the knocking was getting louder. I let out a sigh. I bit my bottom lips in hopefulness. I opened the door but just to find..

"Somi." I mumbled.
