Almost like the other girls|2YEON|ENG

Grandmother's daughter

It had been two weeks since Grandma's arrival, and she had now returned to England. The situation between Nayeon and Jeongyeon seemed to be quite stable, no big improvements, but many, many kisses during that week. They hadn't gone beyond those secret kisses, however.

-The doorbell!- Dahyun exclaimed, always excited when guests arrived.

Nayeon went to answer, thinking it might be Tzuyu or Mina, but instead it was someone else...

-Hello.- said the boy. -Are you Jeongyeon's new girlfriend?

Nayeon looked at him confused. -Who are you?

-Let me introduce myself, I'm Jimin, Jeongyeon's ex, we were also about to get married, I think she told you about it. How long have you known each other? Why do you live with her?

-Actually... I'm Dahyun and Chaeyoung's nanny.

-Chaeyoung? My Chaeyoung?

Nayeon raised an eyebrow. -Chaeyoung is Jeongyeon's sister.

Jimin laughed. -No, that's not true. She didn't really say that.- He shook his head.

-What's going on?

-What happens is that Jeongyeon, in addition to leaving me a month before the wedding, is now living with a girl who calls herself the nanny of her sister and my daughter. What happens is that Jeongyeon was pregnant and never told me that Chaeyoung is our daughter.

-Oh my god...

***

-I'm back!

Three pairs of rather angry eyes were sitting on the couch. What a bad night it would be for Jeongyeon.

-Nayeon...

-Jeongyeon, you'll worry about Nayeon later, Jimin came for you.- said her mother. -I'll leave you two alone, but know that I'm really disappointed in you, I thought he had rejected paternity and all that bullsh*t you told me.

Nayeon followed Mrs. Lee without knowing what to say. Jeongyeon ran to her and grabbed her arm.

-Do you hate me?

-I don't know.

The brunette sighed and walked over to Jimin. -Congratulations... You told your mother that I cheated on you, instead of telling her the truth. And you also kept Chaeyoung from me.

-How did you find out?

-I just so happened to meet your friend Tzuyu, who was dead drunk and started talking about how much Chaeyoung is like me.

-And you told my mother and Nayeon?

-What? That you're a lesbian? Nayeon already knows, or are you trying to tell me that you haven't f*cked her already? Good thing she can't get you pregnant. And I told your mother everything too. And about Chaeyoung, what's this about me not wanting her? I didn't even know she was my daughter.

-I was twenty-one, I was panicking. I asked my mother to raise her and I don't have the courage to tell her the truth, she's only three years old, she'll be traumatized.

-I want to go slowly, but I want my daughter. I have the right to raise her and she has the right to have a father.

-Yes... You're right.

-Thank goodness.- he said standing up. -We'll see each other very often, Jeongyeon.

The problems certainly weren't over there, she closed the door, turned around and got a slap in the face. Her mother's scolding lasted at least half an hour.

-...And after all this you left him because you're a lesbian!? I don't care about who you are, but how could you make us believe that he cheated on you? After everything that poor boy went through!

-Mom, I'm sorry!

-I had to raise your daughter, lying to her! Now that poor little girl thinks she's my daughter and your sister! Do you realize the damage you've caused her and Jimin?

-Mom...

The mother continued to hit her on the back quite angrily, then, without strength, she headed to her room. Jeongyeon had some bruises on her face and went to the kitchen to get some ice.

-Let me do it.- Nayeon said, sitting on Jeongyeon's lap and placing the ice on her face.

-Aren't you angry with me?

-A little disappointed but... We all lie, a lot. Maybe there are bigger or smaller lies... In this case you made a boy suffer and deprived him of his daughter. Isn't that too much?

-I know but I got pregnant at twenty, then I gave birth in secret at twenty-one and I begged my mother to keep Chaeyoung. We also argued because I listened to Jimin and decided not to keep her. And I was away from home for a year because of this argument. Then we got closer again but I preferred to keep Chae as Dahyun's sister, it would have been better than being my daughter.

-What you did was horrible, even though I can understand how you felt. But now you have to give Jimin a chance to be with his daughter. And talk to Chaeyoung about everything.

-Will this change everything between us?

Nayeon sighed. -I wonder if you'll lie to me like that too. If you'll even betray me...

-No, that won't happen. Now I regret everything I've done.

-I hope so.- she said, getting up. -Goodnight.

Jeongyeon got up and went to the balcony. -I screwed up...

Nayeon went to her room, thinking carefully about what had happened. So Chaeyoung... She was Jeongyeon's daughter. That's why they looked so much alike. But how would they solve that situation? It would be complicated for Chaeyoung to welcome her father so suddenly, let alone be able to understand that the one she thought was her mother was actually her grandmother and the one she thought was her sister was her mother.

-Nayeon.

Mrs. Lee's hoarse voice surprised her.

-Yes.

-I want to talk to you and I want you to be honest.

The girl nodded and looked Mrs. Lee in the eyes, waiting for her to speak.

-Is Jeongyeon currently dating a girl?

-I don't know.

-I'll be direct: is she with you? My daughter doesn't get along with just anyone but I see a different relationship with you.

-No, why should she?

-Good.- Mrs. Lee said. -Chaeyoung's situation is already complicated, let's not make it worse. She has to meet Jimin, we need to figure out how to explain to her about Jeongyeon... All we need is for her nanny to be with her real mother.

-Not that there would be anything wrong with that...

-Oh no? Isn't there anything wrong with a child with divorced parents?

-No, ma'am.- Nayeon said firmly. -A lot of parents are divorced these days.

-Poor little girl... If she knew what her mother did...- said the lady.

-You yourself are divorced.

Those were certainly not the elegant manners they taught her at home.

-Yes but I am not with a woman!- she exclaimed. -This is abnormal! Don't come near my daughter! I thought you were a good girl, instead you only came to ruin this family. Go away!

-Mom...- Jeongyeon rushed over and grabbed her mother, who let out a heart-rending cry, running to her room.

-Are you okay?

-Your mother kicked me out.

The title of this chapter is much happier than the chapter itself. My grandmother calls me "grandmother's daughter" (I'm the favorite among the grandchildren haha).
