A second shot at love

Five

As Minji said, she was up early the next morning and was in front of the door step of Hanni's home. And from the outside, the cries of the newborn could be heard. Minji let out a smile remembering how much of a little cryer Hyein was. But she loved her too much to ever complain.

She didn't even get to knock on the door when it was opened by Hyein. Who looked distressed. "I'm so happy you're here, please get me out of here." Hyein didn't even let Minji say anything back, Hyein had already snatched the car keys from her hands and walked off to the car.

Minji looked back at the door to see Hanni, looking all distressed too. "Minji, you have to talk to her, please. One night of Leeseo being here and I could already feel Hyein's dislike for her sister." Minji froze as she looked at Hanni shocked.

"You named her Leeseo?" Hanni looked at Minji with wide eyes. There was a meaning behind that name, a sole crushing meaning. And it definitely crushed Minji to know that she dared to name her that. "Hanni, why would you name her that?" The shorter looked away from Minji. Minji's tone was a little stern.

"It was a coincidence, I swear! He stumbled across the name and kept it." Hanni said and Minji furrowed her eyebrows. "You could've tried to find something other than that name for your baby." Minji said and Hanni was starting to get a little angry. "And who are you to tell me what to and what to not my daughter?" Hanni asked and Minji threw her a glare.

For the first time in years, Minji felt angry at Hanni. How could Hanni be so ignorant?

"You dared to name your daughter the name that we had planned for our second baby. Do you not remember what happened to Leeseo? You had a miscarriage, Hanni. You remember that? How sacred Leeseo's name was to us?" Minji felt so mad, and she didn't know if it was right for her to feel such way. She wanted to yell at Hanni for daring to name her daughter such a sacred name to Minji.

A name that tears Minji's heart apart.

"That was past! Minji, I have a present and a future, it still hurts me what happened to her, okay?" And Minji looked at Hanni with such sad eyes. "If it really did hurt, you wouldn't be able to even think of her name, you wouldn't have dared to name your daughter the same name we had named our baby." And once Minji said that Hanni looked at her. "Minji, it hurt me to remember her name, it really did! But I moved on, I carry our Leeseo in my heart and mind. But my Leeseo now is here with me." Minji looked down as she could feel her heart breaking.

"I- did you not think about how it would hurt me? Maybe I am the over sensitive one, but it means I have a heart, Hanni. But you? I don't even know anymore." Hanni's eyes widened as they looked at Minji. Her words causing a sting at Hanni's heart. "Minji.." The taller shook her head at her. "You just tore me apart, Hanni. And I really hope you're happy." Minji gave her a last glance as she turned around and stopping on her tracks for a split second.

"I had came here with the bravery to see her, because I realized I was probably being unfair with you. But now I don't think I can at all. I might be overreacting, but I can't help but feel like this. Leeseo was our baby, and she always will be. I can't betray her the way you did. There is only one Leeseo for me." Minji said, and continued to walk away. Leaving Hanni at the door with an aching heart.

Hyein from the car watched as Minji was headed to the car with such pained tears falling from her eyes. Once Minji's got inside she broke down, for a split second forgetting that Hyein was there. The little one could only watch her mother in silence as her choked sobs kept breaking her heart. What did her mommy do now?

"How could she do this to our baby." Minji whispered harshly. Angry as she hit the steering wheel with her hand. Hyein let out a gasp that quickly made Minji turn around and her eyes could only soften at seeing Hyein. Her precious daughter. Even though Minji was more likely fuming right now, Hyein had no fear, knowing that her mom would never hurt her she reached out and played with Minji's hair. In hopes of calming the fuming woman.
