The Last Hope

Family

Another morning, Mijoo woke up and went to freshen up. She get her shower and wore her pink dress with a lot of small flowers as the design. She then walked to Mark's room to wake him up.

"Mark, wake up"
"Hmm. What time is it?" (A/n : summer time!) Mark whined.
"It almost nine. You promised me to bring me to mom today"
"Hmm. Give me five minutes" he pulled back his blanket.
"Mark. Ppali ierona (wake up, faster)"

Mijoo pulled his blanket but Mark pulled back to cover his head.

"Markie Pooh, wake up. Its time to hunt the honey" Mijoo giggles.
"Yaaaa! Don't say like that to me!"

Mark suddenly sit on his bed when he heard Mijoo said like that.

"What? Markie Pooh is angry because there is no more honey?"
"Yaaaa. It must be Jackson told you this right"

Mijoo nodded while wiggling her eyebrows.

"Do you want to wake up now?"
"As long you didn't call me that name"
"Fine. It doesn't suit you at all. Go shower. We need to go to the flower shop first"

Mark nodded and get up from his bed. While Mark getting his morning shower, Mijoo make his breakfast. Bacon, egg and waffles for that morning.

"Smells good" Mark suddenly back hugged her.
"Yaaa. You scares me"

Mark placed his chin on her shoulder while Mijoo still making the waffles. She didn't even bugged when Mark doing like that. Firstly, she knew Mark won't listen to her if she asked him to let go. Second, because she love when Mark back hugged her.

"It's done. Now, please excuse me, Mr Tuan. I need to serve this"

Mark let go of her and followed her to dining table.

"Do you want to go anywhere after seeing your mom?" He asked.
"Nope. Do you want to go anywhere?"
"No. We need to prepared tho. Our flight is at 9 p.m."

Mijoo nodded as she knew that Mark didn't packed his things yet.

"Kaja (Let's go)"

Mark stopped his car to one of the nursery near their house. Mijoo bought a bouquet of white lilies because that was her mom's favourite.

When they arrived, Mark followed Mijoo to her mom's grave. Mijoo put the flower on her mom's grave and started sobbed.

"Mom, it's me. How are you up there? I'm totally fine"

Mark saw tears at her cheeks, quickly wiped it off using his thumb.

"I'm not alone today. Remember that stranger I've told you? Its him. My husband. Mark"
"Annyeonghaseyo, ommonim (Hello, mom). I'm Mark" he bowed.

Mark let Mijoo 'talk' with her mom while he being silent by her side. After almost 15 minutes, Mijoo stopped.

"Mom, I'll go first. Please watch me from above" she bowed.

Mark also bowed before grabbing Mijoo's hand and intertwined it with his. He squished a little and smile to her, to encourage her.

"Let's go" Mark said.

Mijoo just nodes, following Mark. I miss you so much, mom.

"Hey, are you okay?" Mark asked.
"I'm okay" she smiled.

Mark tightened his grip with hers, reassured her.

"Let's go home. You still didn't pack your things. We still got a few hours"
"Someone excited tho"
"Of course. I want to meet your sister. She didn't come to our wedding right?"
