Happy New Year

Yuri looked at her daughter getting all dolled up ,her hair being pulled into a neat bun at the top of her head , her light blue ballet gown with all its puffs , the white stocking , she cannot imagine that this little girl was her baby. She rubbed her eyes and tried hard not to cry , she felt her little girl slipping away. Suddenly an arm wrapped from behind , she relaxed her body immediately smelling the familiar perfume.

"My big baby crying?" Jessica asked cutely. Yuri nod her head and continued looking at her daughter. "She looks so beautiful tonight." Jessica chuckled and faced Yuri , "It's just a ballet performance not prom. Stop being overdramatic." Yuri took in her wife's dress and grinned , "You look the most beautiful tonight."

Jessica felt her face blushed and she slapped her wife's arm playfully. "Let's go or we are gonna be late." Yuri stood up and take a final look at herself , 'I look good' she thought and grinned to the mirror. Upon reaching down to the living room , everyone was already ready.

"Let's go. Let's car pool. Don't take up the parking spaces." Sooyoung suggested earning a stream of nods. Yuri kept taking deep breaths while driving making Sooyoung and Sunny laughed at her. "Yuri-ah , what will you do when Ji Ji goes to kindergarten?" Sunny asked.

"She is going to cry buckets." Sooyoung jeered. Yuri scoffed and ignored them , she took a glance at her daughter and found the little girl was quiet today. "JI Ji , are you okay?" She asked. Ji Ji looked at her and nod her head. "Are you nervous?" The little girl shrugged and was quiet all the way till the ballet academy.

After they arrived and seated , Jessica and Yuri went backstage to look for their daughter. Instead of finding her talking to her friends like she normally does , Ji Ji was doing warm ups. Practicing on her splits and her pointe. Yuri walked over and Ji ji quickly stopped everything and looked up at her. Yuri held her daughter up and asked for a permission from the instructor to give the little girl a breather. Jessica followed along.

"JI Ji-ah , umma knows you are nervous. But don't be. You did well these past few days."

"I can do better."

"OF course you can. But you need to relax. At this point, all you need to do is enjoy. If you are not relaxed about this , you will miss out on the good parts." Yuri advised"

"What good parts?" Ji Ji asked

"Spending time with your friends. Having fun with them. Dancing with them. It is the process that matters , of course if you did an excellent job later. It is good. But instead of you pushing so hard , umma wants you to enjoy it. I want you to enjoy dancing , not being stressed out by dancing. Umma wants you to enjoy these moments with your friends. Umma saw how hard you work , and I want you to do your best. That's it . You understand?" Ji ji stared at her and burrowed her head on Yuri's shoulders.

"Umma , mummy , all your dongsaengs and all your emmos will love you no matter what. It will never change." Yuri heard Ji Ji hummed softly and patted her daughter's back lightly a few times before Jessica took her into her arms.

"Baby , just do your best and enjoy. We want to see you happy. That's the most important part for us." Ji Ji just hummed softly while enjoying her mummy's scent. Yuri tapped her daughter's shoulder and the little girl shot her head up to look at her , Yuri pointed to their seats. "Look there. We are all sitting there. When you come out later and you are afraid , just look at us." Yuri leaned down and kissed her daughter's forehead , "Umma love you. Mummy loves you. Wonnie and Nana loves you too." Jessica kissed her daughter's cheeks before walking to the backstage , she placed her daughter down, "Enjoy tonight my sweetheart. I love you so so much." Jessica kissed her daughter's forehead and leave.
