The Last Hope

Again

"우리 다시 돌아갈 수 있을까? (Can we get back to the way we were?)" He asked.

Mijoo looks at him, more stared into his hazel eyes. She saw his eyes were pleading with full of hopes that she come back to his arms.

"Do you need more time to think?" He asked again.
"I...I don't..know" she whispered.

Mark grabbed her hand and give her a light squeeze, reassuring her. Mark knew that she still in her doubts.

"I miss you" he said.

Mijoo still keep in silence. She seems lost in her own world but she still staring at Mark. Mark just hold her hand, tightly like it was the last time he will hold her hands.

"Daddy. I'm thirsty" Hana whined suddenly.
"What do you want?" Mark asked.
"Smoothie! Can I drink it, Mummy?"

Mijoo back to reality when Hana sudden question.

"Sorry, dear. What is it, dear?"
"Can I have smoothie?" she pouted.
"Hana, it's not good for you"
"Only for today. Pleasseeeeeeee" she pouted more.

Mijoo smiled looking at her daughter while nodding. Mark mesmerized as it was the first time he saw Mijoo smiled after their met.

'Damn. She is more beautiful when she's smilling'

"Daddy! Smoothie" Hana whined to him.
"Okay"

Three of them went to park near the cafe, because Hana wants to play. Mijoo just quiet through out their walk while Mark having conversation with their little one.

And Mijoo, still leaving Mark without any answer. She just, quiet, standing still and do nothing accept staring at Hana who happily played joke with Mark.

"Emm. Mark, I'll go first. I'll text you my address and send her before her sleep time"
"Why? Come on. Spent time with us"

Mijoo just shakes her head and left both of them. She went back to her car and speed to her dad's house. As she arrived, her maid welcomes her.

"Is Dad is here?" She asked.
"Mr. Lee is in his room" her maid bowed before left.

Mijoo went upstairs to her dad's room. She knocked the door before she open the door. Her dad was at the table where he doing all his works.

"Mijoo? What are you doing here?"
"Just... I miss you, dad" she smiled while sit in front of her dad.
"Where is Hana? You never come here alone"
"She... She..." She stuttered.
"Did something bad happened to my only grandchild?"
"No. She's fine. She's with her dad"
"Her dad? Mark?"

She nodded slowly.

"Did I make a right decision?" She faced her dad.
"By letting your daughter know him, its a really right decision. How about you?"
"Me?"
"You and Mark. How about you guys?"
"I... I...don't know" her father sighs.
"Remember, all the decision that you want to make, remember that Hana is both of you responsibility"
"Yes, dad"

Mijoo excuses herself to her room. She sat at her bed before she drifted to her deep sleep.

Mark

"Daddy, why the house is dark?"

Mark was about to send Hana to Mijoo's house but the house was, dark. And Mijoo's car also nowhere to be seen. Mark tried to call Mijoo but she didn't pick it up.

"Should we look for Mummy?" He suggested.

Mark slowly drives his car to their old house but the result is nothing. There's no car and it was dark.
