Hanni
Being with Minji was just amazing. She was more than just my lover, she was my best friend, my soulmate, and just my favorite person in this world.
But of course, our relationship was kept a secret from everyone. We only showed affection when we were alone. And that was okay, it was better than nothing.
But this morning was different, we were going to announce our relationship to her parents, now that they're back home with Minji. A part of me fears that they don't want me with Minji because of my parents.
But Minji reassures me that it'll be okay, that her parents have probably been plotting our relationship for a while now. And it made me feel giddy inside, so I guess they knew all along about my feelings for Minji, and Minji's feelings for me.
As I entered the driveway of Minji's house, I could see her standing outside waving at me. I could feel my heart thumping inside my chest, the excitement inside me is something I'm not used to. Like at all, but it's a feeling I could get used to as time goes on.
She was already in her uniform. I came by earlier today so that we could give them a proper announcement. Once I parked the car, Minji came to speed walking to the drivers door and opened it for me. "Hello!" She said in a very excited tone. Wasn't she so cute?
"Hey, Min." I said as I got out the car letting Minji close the door. Her eyes were as happy as she was. She extended her arms and I quickly let myself be engulfed by them in a bone crushing bear hug.
Her hugs are my favorite.
"You ready? I want to make sure you're truly ready for this. This means a lot to them, they've always wanted me to find love and I was scared. But I'm not anymore, not when the woman I will present to them is you. I love you, and no matter what I always will." She said, kissing my temple as she let go of me and grabbed my hand. Waiting for me to give her the green light.
"I'm ready, Minji. I've been ready." And with that she gave me the biggest smile ever and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. Now tugging me inside like a puppy tugging on a leash.
We entered the house, our hands still intertwined as she guided me to the dining table where both her parents sat. When they noticed us they gave us a smile, it wasn't until Mrs. Kim looked at our intertwined fingers that her jaw dropped.
Minji turned to look at me with a smile and looked back at her mom and dad. "I now present to you, my amazing girlfriend, Hanni Pham." Minji said with a proud smile on her face.
Mrs. Kim suddenly let out a squeal as Mr. Kim gave us a giant smile as he chuckled at his wife's behavior. "Finally!" Mrs. Kim said as she stood up and made her way to us shoving Minji to the side and giving me a hug that I swore would make me cry.
Minji still held my hand and it was so cute. Her little frown as her mom stole me from her.
"I knew it, dear. And you don't know how happy I am for you two." She looked over at Minji and gave her a smile, a motherly smile I wished my mom gave me.
No matter how perfect I tried to be, my mother was always disappointed in me. She looked down at me and compared me to the other girls at church. Does she really think I don't try? No one's perfect, not even me.
And this love I feel for Minji is one of my many imperfections and flaws that make me human. It's not wrong to be imperfect, it's wrong to kill your own self by trying to be perfect. Never forget that, love yourself for who you are and not what people want you to be.
"I'm so happy!" Mrs. Kim said as she brought us both in to a hug. "I love you both so much." She said and I felt so happy in that moment. I felt so accepted, for once I felt so secure of myself.
When Mrs. Kim pulled away, she turned to look at me. Her eyes had tears swelling. Her hand reached out and cupped my cheek in such a gentle manner. "Welcome to the Kim family, Hanni." She said and I felt my heart flutter at her words.
Hanni Kim. It doesn't sound so bad. It's perfect if I'm being honest.
"Come on, let's all eat and celebrate this amazing news." Mr. Kim said and I let out a smile. I felt so...at home here. I know it's wrong, my parents work hard to maintain the good life we have, but our home...just doesn't feel like a home.
We went to the table and sat down, the maids aided us in serving breakfast to us all. Both Kim's looked at us happily as Minji did my plate first asking me what I did and did not want. Such good manners.
"When did this happen by the way?" Mrs. Kim asked as she pointed at us. "At church last Sunday, well not necessarily then. But let's say I confessed to her in a very weirdly worded way. And then the next day at school it kind of just happened." Minji said as she grabbed my hand that was on the table.
"And may I say that she was the one to make the bold move of kissing me." Minji said proudly with a giant smile on her face. If we were allowed, Minji would be telling everyone I'm her girlfriend.
She's so proud of our relationship, and I'm pretty sure she'd also want to yell it out to the whole world if she could. She values me more than anyone ever has.
For the first time in a while, I feel so important to someone. I feel so loved, yes my parents may love me, but Minji's love is...different. Stronger than any other love in this world.
"What about your parents, Hanni? Do they know?" Mrs. Kim questioned and I felt my heart hurt. A part of me doesn't even want to tell them, whatever happiness I'm feeling would be torn away from me if I tell them.
They'll probably even lock me up in my room with the excuse that god would've done it too to protect their child from the devil.
But Minji's no devil, she's an angel. A sweet, caring, loving, cuddly, and kind angel. She's only missing the wings.
"You know how Hanni's parents are mom, our relationship is meant to be kept a secret from them, at least for a while. I understand that it may not be the right thing to do, but I don't want to loose her as soon as I got her." Minji answered for me when she noticed I wasn't going to say anything.
And my heart squeezed at Minji's words, she doesn't want to loose me. And I don't want to loose her either.
"I understand, Hanni. We both do, it was something me and Taehyung have talked about. We will never force you to tell your parents, that will be up to you to find the proper time." Mrs. Kim said and I felt relief knowing that there won't be any pressure on me.
"But, you two definitely have our approval. You've been part of this family the moment you stepped foot in to Minji's life, and you'll always have us no matter what." And I could only smile at her, looking at her with gratitude.
I looked over at Minji who was looking at me with so much love that it made me blush and try to hide. She gave me a little smile as she leaned in and kissed my cheek. God, I could feel my cheek burning as she pulled away.
"I love you, a lot. And in front of my parents..." Minji turned to look at both her parents and then she looked back at me, her eyes looking at me with such fondness as she spoke again.
"I promise to love you, and put you before myself. I will do anything to keep a smile on your face and keep you as happy as I can. I will never hurt you or even dare to make you cry. I will give you my sincerity and honesty, my fidelity and loyalty, and my heart and soul. I will give you all of me. And trust my words, I will never break them. May god condone me to the prison of hell if I ever break this promise. May my life be taken if you were to be taken from me." She said, and at this point I was crying as I looked at her. No one has ever promised me such thing, it was beautiful.
Minji's eyes widened and hugged me in a panic. She kissed me all over my face as she tried to stop me from crying. "No! Don't cry! I just said I wouldn't dare to make you cry!" And she made me giggle a little. Or rather a lot as I instantly erupted in to laughter.
God, I love her so much.
