Cheating my Boyfriend with my Girlfriend | WINRINA / JIMINJEONG

Chapter 51

Sick Mom's Wish

- KARINA -

The night after I received the call from Irene my mind and heart felt really uneasy, there was no fudging moment that my eyes let my cheeks to be dry, so the next morning Minju went to our house and talked to my brother Jaehyun about me sneaking inside.

So here I am now with my cousin. We made it inside entering the back gate, we unlocked it using the key Jaehyun had given to us and almost tiptoeing towards the kitchen.

You know the feeling that I'm part of this house but because my father didn't want and accept my choices, he cast me out and became a stranger to my own home, well yeah it sucks not my home anymore.

Never in my wildest dream I had imagined that my relationship with my dad would be like this. I love him and my entire family, but I can't leave Minjeong, she's part of me, a part of my life now and will always be forever.

" Jimin? " I turned around to see who's silently calling me. At first, I couldn't comprehend who it was due to the darkness covering the area, when she stepped a bit closer, the image of a woman came clearer. She's standing near the stairs. She's wearing just a simple shirt and shorts with her hair disarray and the look of tiredness in her eyes were visible. She's worn out and my heart ache the way she looks like.

" Irene " my eyes soften and want to tear up again. She extended her arms, and I ran towards her engulfing myself in her warmth.

"I missed you so much, Irene." I told her, tightening my hug. She kissed my forehead and mumbled the same way.

"Mom, is waiting for you, come on."

The three of us silently walked to my mom's room. And when we reached it, my hands got cold, and my heart started to beat erratically.

Am I ready to face mom? Of course I am, but I want my healthy mom not the sick one.

Irene was about to open the door when I held her hand to stop her, for me to breathe. She looked at me and smiled " it will be okay princess, let's go in " I nodded.

The door creaked open, and a familiar room got in front of my eyes and there I saw Jaehyun standing just a few inches beside my mom's bed. When he heard us, he tilted his head and almost ran towards me when he gets to see me.

" Princess! I missed you so much, how are you??? " He asked as I felt his trembling body against mine. I hugged him tight and let tears roll down from my face.

" Thank you Jaehyun and I miss you too " he pulled away from the embrace and looked at me. His eyes were red, he just recently cried like Irene. He cupped my face and spoke.

"I'm sorry baby that you're suffering like this. I'm sorry " and a tear escape from his sad eyes.

I wiped it out and kissed my brother's cheek.

"don't say sorry Jaehyun, you and Irene have done so much for me and I'm so thankful for that. I love you both. " I said, hugging my brothers.

When we pulled ourselves away, I moved to my mom who is now asleep. Her hair sprawled over the bed, she looked so weak and got thinner. Irene told me that mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of the ovary. So that's the reason why in the last few months she got an on and off pain in that lower region and vomited a lot. I told her many times to go and see a doctor, but she insisted that it was just only because of stress.

And now this?

I even asked Irene if there is still a cure, but she sadly answered me that there's nothing to do other than the palliative care, meaning the medicines would be just to relieve the symptoms especially the pain.

I held my mom's hand and kissed her forehead.

I stared at her sleeping aura, and I felt my heart crying hard until I realized that I am really crying with my shoulders going up and down.

Minju hugged me and told me that my tears will bring sadness to my mom. As I understand it, I harshly wiped my face dry.

Minju is right, I shouldn't have cried in front of her.

I feel my mom shifting her weight and slowly opening her eyes.

" Jimin, is that you? Am I not dreaming? " She said weakly, trying to sit up, that I abruptly cut her to do so.

"Mom, don't just lie there, I'm here and you're not dreaming " I forced a smile and kissed her cheeks and hands.

"Why did you just come home? " She asked innocently.

So, she really doesn't know?

I turned around and glared at Jaehyun, he shook his head as well as Irene and I got it.

"Hmm, I'm just busy, mom. I'm sorry but when Irene told me about y....yo..."

"My condition? " I nodded, hiding a tear that was about to come out.

"I.... went home. Mom, why? "

"I'm sorry baby... I didn't know as well " her voice cracked.

"m... mom, I'm so sorry " and I couldn't hold it any longer as my tears rolled down fast. I hugged my mom. I can't, I just can't let go of my mom.

"I love you mom so much " my voice was filled with love and hurt and longing for my mom. We didn't have the best longest time of being together because of work and now we're counting the months to be with her.

"Mom, why does it have to be you?"

" Shhh! don't cry, Jimin. God has his own reason for all of this. trust him, okay? " She continued caressing my hair and back.

"But mom I... I can't, I still need you "I sniffed. My brothers came to us and engulfed us into their warmth.

" Come back here, Jimin. Be with us again. I want to spend my remaining days with all of you. Could you grant your mom's wish, baby? "

" Okay mom, I'll come back here with you. "
