Glimpse of Us

Mina tried her best to avoid Jeongyeon. It pains her to see Jeongyeon after knowing what Jeongyeon went through because of her.

She doesn't know how to face Jeongyeon again.

"Mina?" Jinyoung called Mina who is pulled out in her trance-like state.

"Oh, sorry" Mina replied, squinting.

"Is there any problem?" Jinyoung smiled at her.

"Nothing Jinyoung, sorry. Let's order shall we?" Mina smiled back, hiding the fact that her mind is somewhere else and not on the person in front of her.

Mina tried dating again. She knows that she and Jeongyeon won't be back together so she's starting to take a step forward away from her feelings.

"I missed playing outside" Yeonwo sadly told Jeongyeon.

Nasa hospital garden sila ngayon kung saan mayroon ding ibang mga batang pasyente kasama ang mga magulang nila. Nagrequest si Yeonwo na mailabas sya sa ospital kaya ngayon ay nasa wheelchair sya at tulak tulak ni Jeongyeon. Yeonwo cannot walk or stand on her own.

Agad na lumuhod si Jeongyeon upang pantayan ang anak. Kita nya ang lungkot sa mga mata nito. Ang dating malusog na pangangatawan ng anak nya ay ngayon ay bagsak na, idagdag pa ang pagkalagas ng buhok nito dahil sa bone marrow transplant kaya nakasuot na ito ng beanie.

"Just hang on okay? Makakalabas din tayo dito" Jeongyeon smiled, trying her best not to cry.

"But when? We have been here for a long time mommy" Yeonwo pouted.

"Just a little bit more anak" Jeongyeon replied shortly because she also doesn't know when.

"I'm getting tired mom. I wanted to just sleep. I'm hurting" Yeonwo looked innocently at Jeongyeon.

Agad na napayuko si Jeongyeon at napahigpit ang hawak sa wheelchair. Hearing those words from her daughter.. it kills her.

"Anak" Jeongyeon looked at her daughter, tears pooling from her eyes.

"Promise me that you'll stay strong. I promise that after this, I'll buy you everything that you wanted. I'll grant you your wishes. Just name it. I'll give it to you. Just stay strong okay?" Jeongyeon asked Yeonwo.

Yeonwo suddenly beamed.

"Can you buy me a horse mom? I want to have a horse" Yeonwo happily asked Jeongyeon.

"I will anak. I'll buy you a horse. Kahit ilan pa" Jeongyeon smiled, hiding the pain.

Yeonwo thanked her and asked for a hug which Jeongyeon did. She hugged her daughter tightly.

"Thank you mommy. I love you and Mommy Nayeon... so much" Yeonwo whispered.

"We love you too so much our Yeonwo" Jeongyeon answered as a tear falls from her eyes.

Tahimik na nakamasid si Nayeon sa hindi kalayuan. She saw how a tear fall from Jeongyeon's eyes. She saw how pained Jeongyeon is and it pained her also.

Seeing the two makes her heart flutter. Hindi man kagaya ng iba ang pamilya nila ay ito ang paulit ulit nyang hihilingin. Kahit gaano pagbali-baliktarin ang mundo, she only wants Yeonwo and Jeongyeon as her family and she couldn't ask for more.
