When I See You || MINA×FEMREADER

Chapter 19

In the days that followed Ishii's heartfelt proposal and the shared excitement of their future together, Mina found herself reflecting deeply on her past. As they sat together one evening, nestled in the comfort of their living room, Ishii noticed a pensive expression on Mina's face.

"Mina," Ishii began gently, her voice breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between them. "Is everything okay?"

Mina sighed softly, her fingers tracing the edge of her coffee mug. She looked up at Ishii, her eyes filled with a mixture of emotions—vulnerability, hesitation, and a flicker of resolve.

"Ishii, there are things about my past that I haven't shared with you," Mina admitted quietly, her voice tinged with apprehension.

Ishii nodded understandingly, her hand reaching out to grasp Mina's reassuringly. "You don't have to tell me anything you're not ready to share," she reassured her, her gaze gentle yet encouraging.

Mina took a deep breath, steeling herself to open up about parts of her life she had kept guarded for so long. "I grew up in a small town in Japan," she began slowly, her voice steady yet tinged with nostalgia. "It was just me and my mom. My dad passed away when I was young."

Ishii listened attentively, her heart aching for the pain Mina must have endured. She squeezed her hand gently, silently urging her to continue.

"My mom worked long hours to support us," Mina continued, her words flowing as memories resurfaced. "I learned to be independent at a young age, taking care of myself while she was at work."

She paused, her eyes clouded with the weight of her memories. "When I was in high school, I met someone," she confessed softly. "She was kind, charming... I thought she cared about me."

Ishii's brow furrowed slightly, sensing the shift in Mina's tone. "What happened, Mina?" she asked gently, her concern evident.

Mina took a shaky breath, her voice trembling slightly. "She wasn't who I thought she was," she admitted quietly. "She took advantage of my trust... emotionally and financially.And there's another one after that, I thought he's in love with me but that love turns out to be obsession, I feel suffocate and can't even breath normally when I'm with him."

Ishii's heart clenched with empathy, imagining the pain Mina must have endured. "I'm so sorry, Mina," she murmured softly, her thumb gently stroking the back of her hand.

Mina managed a small smile, grateful for Ishii's understanding and support. "It took me a long time to rebuild my life after that," she continued, her voice steadier now. "But it taught me resilience, independence, and the importance of surrounding myself with people who truly care about me."

Ishii squeezed Mina's hand gently, her admiration for her strength growing with each word she shared. "You're incredible, Mina," she whispered, her voice filled with admiration. "You've overcome so much."

Mina nodded, a sense of relief washing over her as she shared her past with Ishii. "Thank you for listening," she said softly, her eyes meeting hers with gratitude. "I want you to know everything about me, Ishii. I want us to build our future together, with honesty and trust."

Ishii smiled warmly, her heart swelling with love for Mina. "We will, Mina," she promised sincerely. "I'm here for you, always."

They sat together in the quiet of their living room, their hands intertwined, as the weight of Mina's past lifted, replaced by the warmth of their love and the promise of their future together. In that moment, Ishii knew that their bond had deepened even further, anchored in honesty, trust, and a shared determination to embrace whatever challenges lay ahead.

As the evening wore on, Mina felt a weight lifting off her shoulders with each word she shared about her past. Ishii listened attentively, her unwavering support and understanding providing a comforting anchor amidst the memories that stirred within her.

"Ishii," Mina began again after a moment, her voice steadier now that she had begun to open up. "After everything that happened, I found myself questioning trust and vulnerability. It took time for me to let people in again."

Ishii nodded empathetically, her thumb gently caressing the back of Mina's hand. "I understand," she murmured softly. "It must have been incredibly difficult."

Mina glanced down at their intertwined fingers, her heart swelling with gratitude for Ishii's presence. "It was," she admitted quietly. "But meeting you, Ishii, and seeing the way you care for Skyler and me—it's changed everything."

Ishii smiled tenderly, her gaze never leaving Mina's. "You've brought so much light into my life, Mina," she confessed, her voice filled with sincerity. "You and Skyler are my family."

Mina's eyes shimmered with unshed tears, touched by Ishii's words. "And you are ours," she replied softly, her voice thick with emotion.

They sat together in the quiet of their living room, enveloped in a cocoon of love and understanding. Each moment spent together felt like a step towards healing—the wounds of the past slowly giving way to the promise of a future filled with hope and happiness.

"Ishii," Mina began again after a pause, her tone tentative yet hopeful. "I want to learn to trust again—to fully open my heart to you."

Ishii's heart swelled with love for Mina, her resolve strengthening. "Mina, I promise to cherish your trust," she vowed, her voice unwavering. "I will always be here for you, supporting you every step of the way."

Mina leaned into Ishii's embrace, feeling the warmth of her love surround her. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice filled with gratitude. "For loving me, for understanding me."

They remained in each other's arms, the flickering light of the candles casting a soft glow around them. In that moment, Ishii and Mina knew that their journey together was not just about overcoming past hurts—it was about embracing the present and building a future filled with love, trust, and unwavering support.

As they sat together, basking in the comfort of their shared love, Ishii felt a renewed sense of purpose—to protect and cherish Mina and Skyler, and to create a home where they could heal, grow, and thrive together.
