Fight for Us

Chapter 28

"Yeah Jimin, it's me. Do you still remember me?"

Jimin didn't even want to believe at first; but as she finally sunk into the new found reality, she just found herself to be pleasantly amazed. It had been more than five years since she had last seen Lee Jeno, her ex-boyfriend, when he came to visit her at the maternity ward.

"I heard you finished your course?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Jimin smiled lightly.

"I'm glad you were able to finish your course," Jimin said, trying to keep a good conversation with him.

Jeno smiled and nodded, pursing his lips.

"I heard you're a marine biologist at Coex Aquarium...A marine biologist with an alma mater of summa cum laude, to be more exact."

Jimin laughed softly, nodding.

"Yeah."

Jeno walked towards her, putting his hand on her shoulder and looking down at her with his handsome smile, a thing she had last seen more than five years before, "Shall we go and eat now? I'm sure your father will become upset if we make him wait any longer, you see."

"Yeah, of course," She said, accepting his invitation as his hand went down to her back, slightly pushing her forward along with him, towards the direction of her table.

"Oh my dear! I like my hair so much!" The woman said in awe, admiring her new hairstyle and hair color. The younger woman, the young hairdresser, couldn't even hide her happiness as the middle aged woman was more than awed at her hard work."

"You do?" Ning asked in surprise, "I never thought you would like it the way I like to do it."

"Aigoo my little sweetheart, don't worry about that! I totally love this style and its innovation! It makes me feel like I'm someone else!"

Ning blushed and bowed.

"Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, my little sweet girl!" The woman said to her. Then she turned to Yoona, the main hairdresser and owner of the place Ning worked at.

"This girl is amazing! You are so lucky to have her working for you, Yoona shii!"

"I am, right? Ning is so kind with the customers and always leaves them satisfied! If only my Miyeon was like her..."

"Did you say something about me?!" Miyeon, Yoona's daughter, protested. Her mother turned to her and sighed,

"Yeah! You should work more, like Ning ah does!"

"Aisht..." Miyeon cursed under her breath, "Always Ning Ning Ning! Arhh!!"

"Oh my god...Minjeong ah," Her mother said between tears, at the same time her daughter was looking at her weakly.

"...I..."

"You're in a clinic darling," She said, caressing her hand lightly, anticipating herself to her possible question about where she was.

"...Eo...eom...m...mma...?"

The doctor cleared his throat.

"...You were in a coma for nearly 6 years, that's why you're so confused."

Minjeong closed her eyes and let her head fall to the side, slowly falling asleep. Taeyeon looked up at the doctor, feeling worried that her daughter had only been awake for mere seconds in her presence.
