Painful Scars [Jeongmo ft. Michaeng]

Chapter 22

Mina POV

"Hey, I-" I got interrupted by a slap on my left cheek that sent pain through my nervesystem.

I couldn't help but cry. I was disappointing again. I was once again the failure I've always been.

"Don't pretend like you haven't done anything, cause I've seen it all" the scolding voice pierced through me.

I kept shedding tears while looking at the ground. I hated this, but this was the only way I could live. The guy pulled out a piece of paper.

"You've signed this contract, and you have to do what I'm telling you, or else you know what's going to happen" His cold voice made me shudder.

I was unable to talk because I didn't have anything to defend myself with. He was telling the truth.

"If I ever see you with that girl again I'm-"

"Hey you, leave her alone or I'll show you the exact same thing you did to her!" I looked up and gasped seeing Chaeyoung approaching us.

I quickly stopped her and dragged her to an empty place near a bench. I could feel my heart hurting knowing what I was about to tell Chaeyoung. My hands were trembling as I let go of her.

"Chaeyoung ah, please stop loving me" I closed my eyes trying to hide my tears.

"What?" Chaeyoung replied.

My heart was screaming inside, but I had to listen to my brain.

"I'm sorry. Forget everything, forget my name. Forget that you've met me" every word hurted me. I didn't want to break Chaeyoung's heart.

The way Chaeyoung looked at me in response made me feel even more guilty. I wanted all this to be over, I wanted to run away. I couldn't handle this anymore.

"I'm sorry, I can't be with you" I tried leaving but Chaeyoung grabbed my wrist.

My tears were so close to falling.

"Why?" her emotional tone was making me weak.

I stopped. I was breathing along with my painful heart beat. My heart felt like being threatened by a knife.

"I just can't love you anymore" My last words crossed Chaeyoung before I removed her hand and left silently.

I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry so bad. My heart was finally cut in pieces with that knife that threatened me inside. My tears were spilling down my cheeks as I left the only person that was left in my life. The only person that made me experience love.

Why did I sign this contract when I could just die instead?

Jeongyeon POV

"Jeongyeon ah, can we eat Jokbal today?" Momo whined and sat on my lap.

I turned my phone off and put it away.

"Hmm maybe" I teased her.

"Neomuhae. Jebaaaal" she pouted and started doing her irresistible aegyo.

"Stop doing this, you know I can't handle that" I pinched her cheeks.

"Please"

"Alright then" I blew air from my mouth and went to the kitchen.

I prepared the Jokbal and sat down beside Momo to eat.

"Sugoi" Momo said with her cheerful voice she always used with food.

I chuckled while eating my food.

"My mom always used to buy me Jokbal when I was little, that's why it became an addiction. What did your parents give you as food?" Momo chuckled.

I stopped eating. My expression changed. Flashbacks ran through my head.

"I never had parents. They died when I was little" I mumbled enough for her to stop eating too.

"I'm so sorry to hear that" she quickly hugged me.

I have never talked about my past with anyone. Ever since that day I knew what truly happened to my parents, I started living alone. But now when Momo came into my life, she made me forget all the pain in the past. She created memories I've never had before. She became something that was hard to forget. Unlike my parents.

"Momo ya, I have something to show you" I said and started eating again.

"What is it?" Momo answered with a soft tone.

"I'll show you later, we can still see it before it becomes dark" I smiled.

I wanted to show her my favorite place that made me forget my past.

"C'mon Momo ya, we're almost there" I said running while holding her hand.

"Yah, you're really fast" Momo said while running with me.

It was really hard to run on the snow that had covered everything. We reached my dark place that was also covered with snow. We stopped and looked at it.

"Momo ya, this tree. This dark tree on this lonely hill was the place I went to when I was feeling pain. I used to visit that place really often. Every time I sat on the tree looking at the stars above me, made me feel hope, just like when I look at you" I said with a low voice and glanced at her.

Momo was looking shockingly at the tree. Then she turned to me with a sad smile.

"yahh, don't be emotional, let's climb on it and have fun" I jumped on the tree.

"Wait for me pabo ya" Momo jumped after me and tried to climb it too.

She fell on the snow many times and made me laugh. Suddenly I felt a very cold snowball hitting my face and made me choke on some snow.

"What are you laughing at?" Momo tried putting on her serious face but failed when she started laughing uncontrollably at my face.

"Not funny" I groaned.

"Hello, Rudolph" Momo pointed at my red nose and continued with her hysterical laugh.

I couldn't help but chuckle. Then I gave her my hand and helped her climb up. We sat on a large branch on the tree. Momo kept holding me, cause she was scared of heights. I wrapped an arm around her.

"Don't be afraid Momo ya, it's alright" I whispered.

She slowly opened her eyes and leaned her head on my shoulder. Slowly, the snow started falling again. We looked above us, and it was like it was raining with cherry blossom leaves. The view was so fascinating and it made my heart bloom. Momo caught a snow crystal and smiled at it. I couldn't help but stare at her. The way her smile formed and her eyes glowed made everything seem graceful.

It was this special moment where my darkest place became the brightest.
