Originally Loved

Chapter 13

"My Karina" Minjeong mentally said as she opened her eyes. She felt warm hands on hers and tilted her head towards the person and talk under her breath. "My bunny". Tears were flowing down her cheeks as she realized that her one and only love was in front of her.

She unnknowingly moved her hands and the older girl looked up with a tired face and motioned to call for a nurse for she was awaken. She stopped the girl and pulled her in for a kiss putting both of her hands to the girl's nape as she tried to let go of the kiss. But the older girl gave in and kissed her back passionately. Minjeong had never been so ecstatic since her memory loss. After all those dreams that have been flashing for a few months, she is now sure of what the blurry face looked like: Troublemaker Jimin.

At that certain moment, Minjeong knows deeply inside that she once loved a young woman with all her life but because of her amnesia, she was deprived of remembering the face of her lover.

Minjeong was slowly drifting apart from the kiss when she realized that her mother slapped the girl so hard. And started yelling at her, pouring out hurtful words to the person she just met. It made Minjeong confused but also wondered why on the sudden outburst of her mother.

"I kissed her" Mrs. Kim was surprised at the confession of her daughter. Her mother was restlessly pacing back and forth in front of her daughter, clasping her hands nervously. Minjeong get up from bed and went over to her mother to console. She was terrified seeing her mother like this. She could her her mother rambling some words.

"My darling is going back to her old ways" Minjeong can't clearly heard what her mother said but she somehow knew what she meant. Her mother was afraid of Minjeong's true identity: Being a homosexual. Since her memory loss, Minjeong would always feel something that she is different. She would always liked guys, but that's just that. She had been quite mesmerize with girls' beauty and that sometimes she pondered why her mother always pushed her to date guys where in fact she didn't like the idea in the first place. She would always replied to her that she have priorities in life and that dating guys is not on the list.

Now seeing her mother in this state, she was really against to our love from the beginning. Considering the fact that she remembered the words of Karina's mom in her dreams if her mother knew about their relationship. She contemplated on those words and now this is what she meant by it, her mother is totally against their forbidden relationship.

"Ma, let me be who I am. Let me be happy. I'm not going leave you. Ma--" Minjeong pleadingly said to her mother who is now weeping in tears.

"Darling, I want you to have a normal life. A  normal family. And being with that girl doesn't count." Mrs. Kim glanced up to her daughter who helped stand up and motioned her to sit on the hospital bed.

"Ma, I will have a normal life, no matter who I choose to be with" Minjeong wiped the tears on her mother's eyes and Mrs. Kim just nod.

"It doesn't mean that I'm not going to be hard on her. I still don't accept your relationship, darling. But if it makes you happy, I will no longer stop you" Mrs. Kim said in a serious tone.

Minjeong was so happy on what she just heard from her mother. She knows that there will be a day that her own mom would accept her as who she is, but not in its entirety. She was still against about a girl to girl relatonship, but she still have hope that gradually, her mother would accept it. She just have to patiently wait for that to happen.

But now that Minjeong had somehow recall some memories of her past, about Karin and her, there's still something that bothers her, something that lacks from the new found discovery of her identity. She kept on thinking about it but still none. No new memories have been recurring, just the car crash and Karina or Jimin and the feelings of overpouring endless love.
