Deluge - 2jin

Hyunjin went to Heejin's house wearing a black dress that Yerim gave her, it was very tight in her chest but she didn't care she wasn't really going to stay for too long.

Her mother was getting worse and worse as the days went by, right before she left her house she prepared food for her dinner but her mom stared to throw up all over the bed and she was very pale, it made Hyunjin worry to death. She called the doctor and told her that tea will make it better and a lot of liquid food will work.

She didn't know why but what the doctor said was very odd. She needed to take her to the hospital before it got worse but her mother started pushing her away saying she was okay and that she wanted to be left alone.

Hyunjin could only just leave her with water, medicine and food. She cried. She was hurting so bad, her own mother despised her and refused to even let her daughter help her. Was it Hyunjin's fault?

She was thinking about that so much that it didn't let her enjoy the dinner.

Heejin was alone at home, she said her husband had tons of works and he'd be coming late. Inside her house was very luxurious, they were rich... very very rich. They even had their own bar with many liquors, the floor was shinning and the furniture looked like it costed an eye of hers. Heejin found it adorable that the younger was fascinated about it.

They ate and chatted for a few minutes but Heejin noticed something was off, she asked if Hyunjin was okay and she spaced out for a few seconds until saying she was perfectly fine. Heejin didn't buy that and glued an eye to her for the rest of the dinner.

Hyunjin was actually lost in her thoughts she only ate because she had to, all her hunger was gone for the rest of the night, she looked at the plate and then Heejin who was excitedly talking about something she couldn't hear because all she listened was her mom's words of hatred and despise, it repeated like a broken record.

Suddenly a year rolled down her cheek and Heejin noticed, she immediately went beside her and gave her a handkerchief. She asked once again what was going on and she won't accept a 'nothing' for answer, Hyunjin noticed how her voice changed tone to a more demanding one.

—I am very sorry Mrs Jeon, I'm sorry I cried and was spaced out I'm so useless and impolite —Hyunjin continued crying and wiping her tears

—Tell me what's wrong I can help you, if you didn't want to come you shouldn't have forced yourself —Heejin was very close to the younger's face watching how she couldn't stop her tears from coming down

—I really wanted to come, I really wanted to, but my mom... my mom is very sick and I worry she might need me right now —Heejin understood and told her to go that it wasn't rude at all this may be an emergency. To which Hyunjin replied very firmly that her mom hated her.

Heejin couldn't believe what she just heard, the mother of this precious girl hated her? Hyunjin continued explaining her situation and the older listened carefully before hugging her very tight, Hyunjin noticed that Heejin's sweet scent had a calming effect on her so she hugged back and closed her eyes.

A few minutes passed with them being in this position, Heejin broke the hug and took her hand "let's go I've got something to show you" she said.

Hyunjin wasn't crying anymore but her face was puffy and red, now even redder when Heejin took her hand. She didn't know why the older made her heartbeat rise so much but she wasn't liking it. She had a husband and right now she shouldn't be feeling this way.

Heejin led her upstairs to a room that had a door decorated with animals and flowers, the older opened the door and Hyunjin's heart clenched when she saw what was inside: it had a crib, various stuffed animals, the walls were painted a very cute pastel purple and yellow, there was a shelf with various children programs, this was definitely the baby's room.

Hyunjin looked at Heejin that lovingly stared at the crib... It broke her heart into million pieces when she got closer to it

—Hyunjin, we've been trying for at least a year and I had three miscarriages, at one point I seriously thought of divorcing my husband because I didn't feel like a woman... I spent thousand of sleepless nights thinking there was something wrong with me I hated myself because I kept on my singing and decorating this room, but now I know it can come true. You are my last hope.

Heejin turned back and smiled at Hyunjin and that's when the younger couldn't articulate a single word

She couldn't say she wasn't sure if she could get pregnant... She stayed there smiling back at the woman that had been longing a family for so long.

—I will make your dream come true... you will have a family Mrs. Jeon.
