Mina's POV
_____________
I woke up and slid my journal inside my pillow case. Life recently wasn't as expected, and more so promised. They promised we'd be safe, and he wouldn't find us, and was banned from entering the country.
How did he get to us then? Oh, simple. Chaeyoung told him everything, left the girls and I home alone. Imagine my shock when I opened the door to the one person I never thought I would see. To this day, I still pray that Chaeyoung has a plan. Maybe she was threatened and this was the only way?
"Mama.." That small, whispering voice that one of my babies owned knocked me out of my thoughts. I looked at Ryujin, the girl only had a shirt on, and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail.
"What's the matter baby?" I whispered back at her, hoping not to wake the man who slept in the bed next to me. I quickly threw a shirt on, and slid my underwear on. Took me seconds before I noticed Ryujin hesitating to say something. She was in fear of her "father" waking up.
I stood up slowly and quietly and walked towards her. Ryujin lifted her arms asking to be held, in which I picked her up. I'm glad that he trust me enough to not lock doors, because even I know, I can't run away.
Ryujin and I made our way to the living room. The sun just barely risen in the sky, yet the room was so bright. He completely covered the windows in the room he kept me in. Yeah, I had privileges like being able to eat or use the restroom when I want, but I was still a hostage stuck inside a house with no way out.
I figured Ryujin was hungry, so I placed her in a seat and began working on a meal. He tells me, if I cook a great meal, he won't do anything insane to us. So far he's done tons of insane things to me, not the girls though. That was enough for me, along as the girls would be okay.
From the corner of my eye, I noticed one of my daughters coming my way. Yuna walked to me and stood by my side only looking up. "What is it Yuna?" I continued to whisper to her.
Yuna had a diaper on and a pacifier in her mouth. She removed her pacifier and held her milk cup up at me. "Milk pwease.." Yuna whispered, but I mostly understood what she was saying. Yuna just began saying words like 'Please' or 'Thank you'. It's crazy that she's so big now.
It feels like it's been only 134 days, but that's because the days are starting to merge together in my mind. I know it's been 372 days since we've been here, but I keep telling myself it's only been 100 days. Yuna wasn't 1 anymore, she's 2 years old now. 7 days ago, marked a year since we've been here.
I truly hope Chaeyoung has a plan in mind. I watched as my last daughter walked over and sat next to Ryujin. This is why Chae has to have a plan, she'd never turn Heejin over for no reason. She loves her too much, and I want to believe that maybe this was the only way.
"Mama, can I cross off the day?" Heejin questioned referring to the calendar that hung on the wall. "Of course Jinnie, do you want strawberries or blueberries?" I continued to make the plates for them.
Heejin thought to herself for a second. She didn't show any emotion, but I know deep down what she's feeling. "Blueberries." Heejin sternly, yet quietly answered me. I just nodded my head and placed the fruit on the plate.
"Unnie, why don't you like strawberries anymore?" Ryujin sadly asked Heejin. Ryujin fidgeted with her fingers, she's 4 years old, and still feels intimidated by Heejin. The older girl only sighed and then chose to speak. "Strawberries are Eomma's favorite, and I don't want to be reminded of her every time I eat them."
Heejin's words caught me off guard. I never truly thought how it may be affecting Heejin. It's been a year without her mom or dad, and all she has is me. "It's okay Jinnie, I won't give you any for now on." I whispered to them and slid their plates.
He won't hurt Heejin despite her not being his kid. He won't hurt them, or mistreat them which surprised me. I totally forgot Heejin is technically his niece, so maybe he won't hurt his blood related relatives?
I bent down and picked Yuna up. Her hair is long now, and she grew much taller. I wish I could take the girls to the park or at least outside. The only life they've known for a year now, is within these walls.
I fed Yuna a few blueberries and pancakes. I waited for all three girls to be finished before I took them back to their room. Despite how bad our position is right now, all three girls have a place to sleep, a few toys, and very few learning books. Ryujin and Heejin share a bed while Yuna has a toddler bed.
"Okay girls, stay in here like usual. If you hear absolutely anything, don't come to the room okay? Remember that." I talked to the three, but they've known this rule since the day we've gotten here. Heejin nodded and Ryujin hugged me.
I left the room and sighed as I closed the door. I do this for them. Yet, I headed back to the kitchen to clean up the leftover breakfast. It was already almost noon which means he wakes up soon. Today is also the 3rd Wednesday, which means test day.
I quickly went to the room I'm kept in, and seen the man still sleeping. I quietly walked into the bathroom closing the door. Quickly locked the door, and went to my hiding spot within the closet that's in there. The box that hadn't been open yet stared at me.
As much as I hate doing this, it's almost always a need. I grabbed one test and headed to the toilet. I did as I always do and waited for the response. These test always stress me out because I never know what to expect.
I missed last month's test day, so I felt even more nervous about this one. It's been about 5 minutes, but I can't bring myself to turn it over. My mind cleared, I released all my nerves and finally flipped it.
I stared at the test, the response right in front of me. It felt like I looked at it for an hour at this point, and I can't even let out a sigh. "Of course it's positive Mina. It's been positive 3 times now." I quietly mumbled to myself.
I knew already, but this is my only way of knowing if I'm still carrying. This is my 4th month now, and if he didn't make me take a test every month, I would've never known. I'm not showing, but every test within 4 months is positive, so it could've been cryptic.
I didn't tell him they were positive, who knows what would happen. Because of this, I've been giving him old negatives since the first positive. I don't want to have his child, it's unfair to Chaeyoung and me. What am I saying though? She put me through this.
She's the reason I'm having his child once again. I can only beg that it isn't a boy, I'm not ready for that level of pain to resurface. It would be nice to have a boy, considering I have 3 girls, but that pain still lives in me every day.
I quickly hid the positive where I hid all the other positives. I plan on trying to run away with the kids before I'm due. Only issue is, I have no idea when I'd be due, and no idea where we even are.
I already know Heejin will be excited to have another sibling considering that's all she talked about a year ago. "She looks just like you Chaeng. I can't hate you, because I fear I'll hate Heejin. I hope you picked a cute name for our new baby." I mumbled to myself.
"Well, my new baby. Chaeng, please just save me from this. I don't know how much longer I can take what he does to me. Do it for the girls please..." I closed my eyes and prayed, hoping she would hear my needs. She's my so-called Fiancée after all.
