Dandelions: A Michaeng Fanfic
Chapter 11: Field of Dandelions

             "memories are supposed to stay with us until we go to the afterlife. Some were good, and some were bad. But we'll always have that one happy memory that hurts the most"

Mina and Chaeyoung went inside the car and drove off. Chaeyoung took a nap since she got tired from being a hyper kid at the mountain park and Mina continued driving

*30 minutes later*

Mina: Chaeyoung, wake up, we're here

Mina gently woke Chaeyoung up

Chaeyoung: *yawns* where are we?

Mina: you'll see, come on

They went outside and saw a field of dandelions. It was quiet and calm as there was no people, except for them.
The field has a lot of yellow dandelions and a great view of the nature and the city from afar

Chaeyoung: a field of dandelions...

Mina: yes Chaeyoung, dandelions. This is the special place I wanted you to come with me

Chaeyoung: are we going to watch the sunset here, together?

Mina: yep, we are

They sat down on a cloth on the ground and watched the view together with Chaeyoung's hand over Mina's shoulder

She suddenly got curious

Chaeyoung: Mina?

Mina: yeah?

Chaeyoung: how did this field of dandelions became special to you? And that, you wanted to go here with me?

Mina: special? Yeah, this field has and witnessed a lot of my good memories

Chaeyoung: a lot?

Mina: yes Chaeng, a lot. My mom and dad first met here, my dad proposed to her here too. I first learnt to walk and also talked here. We always bond as a family here

Mina said while having flashbacks and was teary eyed

Chaeyoung: are you okay Mina?

Mina: oh, yea, I'm okay Chae. It's just, I'm having flashbacks about it. But, among all those great memories, there's something that's always stays in my heart. This is also where I last saw my mom

Mina said while sobbing and Chaeyoung was patting her back

Mina: she told me to stay strong and to spend good memories with the people I love and cherish the most. But I didn't know, it was her last goodbye

Chaeyoung: what happened to your mom? Did she went away?

Mina: my mom? She passed away

Chaeyoung: oh I'm sorry

Mina: don't be, at least she was happy

Chaeyoung: w-why did she die?

Mina: I guess I need to tell you now

Chaeyoung: tell me what?

Mina: my mom has a condition that I consider as a curse. Her heart was quite weaker than everyone else. Physically, it was okay, but emotionally, no. Expressing too much feelings like happiness and love would make her heart weak and possibly stop anytime. She loved us so much, she didn't care whether her heart was in pain or not, as long as she was happy. The next day, her heart grew weak and....just stopped

Chaeyoung: you don't have to tell me that Mina

Mina: it's okay Chaeng, the condition my mom has.......I have it too
