Deluge - 2jin

VII

Heejin arrived home safely and her husband was there flopped on the couch sleeping, she moved him so he could wake up and take a bath, he reeked of alcohol.

—Wake up, tomorrow we have an appointment in the clinic. Did you drink that much? —Heejin was annoyed

—Um... No I don't know where were you? —he held his head in his hand, he surely had a very bad headache

—Helping Hyunjin, her mother was sick and an emergency happened

—You're very nice to her, you like her or something?

Heejin remained silent because he was making unnecessary comments.

—Are you a lesbian now?

—Shut the fuck up and go upstairs, take a bath and sleep i don't want you to be hungover in the appointment. —Heejin was not having it at this point.

He obeyed because Heejin was surely getting mad and even if he was a bit tipsy he knew that tone of hers.

The next days went on very fast, Heejin and Minju went to the doctor's appointment and they told Hyunjin about it saying she'll have to wait for at least a month before the embryos implant, she has been in the hospital for almost 6 hours waiting until she receives permission to go inside her mom's room. When she finally did, the heartbreaking sight of her mother connected to a lot of cables made her heart sink, her eyes travelled to the girl standing in the doorframe and both of them connected their eyes. Hyunjin sat down beside her bed and intended to grab her mom's hand but she yanked it from her.

—What are you doing here? —her mom coldly said.

—You almost died if it weren't for me you would be 100mt underground... I was worried mom I had a panic attack just because I thought I might not see you anymore! —hyunjin couldn't contain her tears anymore

—You shouldn't have saved me. I wanted to die.

Those words made Hyunjin want to throw up, how the hell is this the same woman that was so lovely to her just a few days back? She understood perfectly that her mother was disgusted but she didn't have to treat her like this. Hyunjin took a deep breath and stood up from her seat not before telling her mother that the woman that was paying her surgery and chemo is the woman that wanted Hyunjin to carry her baby.

It won't make any difference, she knew that but at least she got it out of her chest, she wanted to make her mom understand the couple were not bad people.

Hyunjin decided to stop visiting her mother for the time being, if she's going to push her away then let it be. For now she's got to worry about the embryo that will go inside her. Heejin called her that evening to tell her that she'd have to go to the doctor and start the implantation since a month has already passed.

Hyunjin took a deep breath and told her that she was ready for it, this time she was decided more than ever to continue the process for Heejin.

Hyunjin was now living alone in the house it felt very lonely and empty, she didn't realize that up until she prepared lunch and she did it for two people. She laughed it off and stored the leftover food in the fridge.

She got a message from Heejin saying she got the rest of the day free and that they should hang out. Hyunjin's heart couldn't beat any faster than this.

Heejin said she'd pick her up in twenty minutes or so, Hyunjin wasn't very skilled in fashion and make up but she tried her best not to be exaggerated and since it's Heejin we're talking about it had to be a bit classy or so she thought.

She ended up with a very loose tucked in shirt and plain jeans with converse and her long red hair down.
Not classy but at least she tried.

Heejin drives a Ferrari and it intimidated Hyunjin a lot. It made her feel poor but like an extreme type of poor but even though she felt this Heejin on the contrary made her feel good and comfortable as if they had been friends for ten years, it was really strange.

Heejin didn't have any plans at the moment, the only thing she knew was that her finger was dialing Hyunjin's number as there was no going back. "Let's go out!" But in reality she didn't know what to do her mind kept playing her husband's words "are you a lesbian now?" Fuck she hated it so much, but she didn't like like Hyunjin she was just being nice and making a friend that's not weird or having other intentions... Right?

In the end Hyunjin suggested they go to a nearby park that had places where you can eat or play arcades. Heejin said she never played arcades because her mom and dad always bought her toys and didn't get to go out or anything like that.

Hyunjin taught her many games, bringing back childhood memories. The older looked just like a little kid enjoying the games, the redhead found it very endearing and cute maybe because Heejin didn't get to play with other kids like this it felt like she was her first.

They ate a bunch of candies and ice cream, that laughed together and hung out for most of the afternoon. When the clock striked 6pm they were ready to go to the appointment.

Hyunjin was visibly nervous which made Heejin ask her once again if she was okay with this. Hyunjin smiled and assured her that it was okay to continue.

The gynecologist's name was Son Hyejoo, she looked very scary and her voice was no exception. They were currently in a room, Hyunjin was laying down comfortably in the chair, with her legs spread open while doctor Son prepared her, Heejin at her side held her hand and didn't let it go until it was finished.

—Are you ready miss Kim? —Doctor Son asked

—Yes I'm ready —Hyunjin looked up to Heejin and smiled.

Their hands fit as if they were made for each other. Heejin thought but was interrupted by Hyunjin's painful moans, it hurt a lot and she started squeezing her hand even more, with the ultrasound they could see how the embryo was placed inside of Hyunjin.

When they were finished Heejin swallowed hard and kept looking at the screen even though there was nothing there anymore.

Hyunjin asked why did she look like she was about to cry? To which Heejin only replied with a hug

—Thank you, Hyunjin.
