Chapter 2

'GOOD morning, self,' Dahyun mentally greeted herself as she open her eyes. Her eyes travelled around. White ceiling, soft bed, air-conditioner and many more things welcomed her.

"Omo! Where am I?" she asked herself nervously as she try to pull herself up, but failed.

"Ah, why does my head hurts so bad?" she asked herself again and caressed her temple and her nape. "What happened last night?" she asked herself again, and her eyes accidentally went to her clothes. She cupped her mouth, and her eyes widened when she realized that she's wearing a different set of clothes.

"Omo! What happened to me? Wait... This already happened on one of my stories!" she stopped when she remembered the plot of one of her stories. "Hmm, I wonder if a good-looking and rich man took me here, ㅋㅋㅋ!" Dahyun told herself and giggled, but her imagination was immediately brushed off when a middle-aged woman opened the door.

"Oh, you're awake. Good morning," the woman greeted, and smiled at her widely.

Dahyun forced herself to sit on bed as the woman walked in, carrying the pair of wet clothes she remembered as her clothes last night. She watched as the woman hung her clothes on one of the cabinet's handle.

"Good morning, Ma'am," she greeted back and smiled at her shyly.

"Oh, don't call me Ma'am," the woman opposed and sat on the edge of the bed. "I'm Mrs. Byun Sa-rang... Just call me eomoni," the woman continued and smiled at her widely.

'I think I found another mother,' Dahyun thought.

"Eomoni...Sarang? Hmm, can I rather call you Mommy Love?" she asked politely, and smiled at the woman genuinely.

The woman chuckled, "That's better," she exclaimed excitedly.

'They said, words can hurt. Howbeit, words can be used as a tool to connect with people's hearts, too,' Dahyun thought.

"Anyway, how are you feeling now?" the woman asked Dahyun and glanced at her wristwatch.

"I think I'm getting better now, Mommy Love," she lied and smiled at the woman, naturally. Dahyun is really good at pretending, though she's originally a writerㅡnot an actress.

"Ah, it's nice to know that you're already fine. Anyway, you should drink your medicine now," the woman said and pointed the glass of water and medicine on the bedside table.

"Kamsahamnida, Mommy Love," Dahyun replied and took the glass beside her. She then tossed the medicine straight to her throat and emptied the glass of water.

"You're way prettier when you're awake," the woman complimented her beauty. Dahyun chuckled shyly and bowed as she thank the woman.

"What's your name, anyway? I hadn't known my daughter's name, yet," the woman said sweetly, referring to Dahyun.

"Ah, I'm Kim Dahyun, Mommy Love. I'm 21-years old. I'm currently on my third year in college, actually, I have classes today---" Dahyun frozed when she eventually realized that she had some classes to attend for the day. "Eomoni, may I know what time is it?" she asked the woman with her eyes wide open.

"It's already six in the morning," the woman replied with a wide smile.

Dahyun then caressed her chest and let out a complacent sigh. "I thought I was late in my class," she commented and flashed another smile. "Mommy Love, thank you for taking care of me last night. But, I'm just curious...how did I arrive here?" she asked.

'Don't tell me that I fainted last night, and they saw me lying on the street, and took me here as they realized that I'm sick,' Dahyun thought and mentally chuckled on her imagination. But the reality shocked her as the woman narrated almost the same thing as she thought what happened.
