Two Worlds Apart [MiChaeng Fanfic]

5

[Flashback]

We are spending a lot of time lately. Sometimes, my shooting ends early so we would go on friendly dates. We grew really close the past few days ever since that night at the Yoo Beep Beep Cottage. The more I spend time with her, the more I find myself admiring her, and the deeper I fall for her.

Today, my schedule ends at 3:00 PM. I grab my bag and wave goodbye to my manager and the whole cast and crew as I excitedly head out. Chaeyoung and I will have a picnic date tonight at Han River.

My phone vibrated and flashed Chaeyoung's message.

I'll pick you up at 5? :)

Yup, I'll be ready by then. See you <3

I made a giddy sound as I called a cab to take me to my apartment. I rushed to the bathroom to wash up, applied some light makeup, and put on the outfit I prepared the night before. I was about to wear my perfume until my phone rang. I immediately picked it up since it is Mom.

"Mina-ya! How are you, my dear daughter?" My mom still tries to sound cheerful despite the circumstance of my father. He's fighting stage four cancer. He has a brain tumor. I feel kind of relieved that my mom called just to ask me this, because if otherwise, I could have had a panic attack.

"Hi Mom. I just finished shooting and am now in the midst of preparing for my date tonight," I beamed. I can feel that my mom is also smiling. I never had a partner before since I've been busy doing ballet all my life. And for some reason, no one seems to interest me, until I met Chaeyoung.

"Hmm, I see. Who is your lucky date?" I am unsure whether I should tell her right now, but I am planning to when I get back to Japan.

"You'll know her soon, Mom."

"Oh! So it's a she! My daughter, I can't wait for you to introduce her to me. It's amazing to have another sweet daughter."

I felt relieved at what she said, since some people are still closed-minded about same-sex relationships.

"You'll like her, Mom. But we're still in the getting-to-know each other yet. Anyway, how is Dad?" I am nervous to the point that I do not want to hear the words that will come out of her mouth, but at the same time, I want to be updated regarding Dad's health.

"Oh, baby. He's sleeping right now. The doctors will run a test on him again tomorrow. When will you come home? I am sure that your Dad is also thrilled to meet her," she giggles. Mom has always been like that, hiding away the pain so she could look strong in front of me. However, I always remind her that it's okay to let your guard down and express your despairs.

"I will go home as soon as I'm done with the shooting. I miss you guys so much. Please send my hello to Dad once he wakes up," I said and hung up the phone.

My family is wealthy. My Dad, Akira Myoui, is the chairman of Myoui Construction Group. It is the biggest construction group in Japan. While my Mom, Sachiko Myoui, is a co-owner of a chain of jewelry stores in Japan as well. Even though we are clearly well-off, I want to do something for myself and not to be forever dependent on them, which is why I flew to Korea in hopes to be a successful actress, which is actually against their will.

My phone vibrated again and I immediately grin since it is a text from Chaeyoung.

I'm in your lobby!
