"Eunhye?"

Eunhye looked at the blonde, but she was looking somewhere else.

"Oh Eunnie are these your friends," she smiled her ponytail swaying in the wind.

Heiryung bit her tongue, Meirong grimacing at the very incorrect guess.

"Well we go to school together," Heiryung said trying to compromise.

"Oh nice," the girl smiled, "I'm Jaehwa, Eunhye's soulmate!"

Meirong choked on her own saliva.

"Oh wow I didn't know Eunhye had met you," Heiryung said stepping ok Meirong's foot.

"Yeah well we found each other like two months at the daycare I'm interning at," Jaehwa said.

Meirong smiled before looking at Eunhye who avoided eye contact.

"Do you two want to get coffee and cake with us," Heiryung said, Eunhye looking at the younger girl in confusion.

Jaehwa glanced at Eunhye.

"Is that okay with you," she said, "I'm fine with it but-"

"It's... alright," Eunhye said glancing at Meirong who carried no show of emotions.

The found girls walked to the nearest cafe, Jaehwa smiling and babbling about her job. She was two years older than Eunhye, and still attending college.

"That's great," Heiryung smiled as she looked at the older girl, Meirong slipping behind the two and walking next to Eunhye.

"Eunhye," she whispered, "why'd you seem so scared-"

"You can't tell anyone," Eunhye whispered.

"What- why," Meirong exclaimed, "what's wrong with being LGBTQ, I am!"

"I'm not you Meirong," Eunhye whispered, "maybe when you're older you'll understand better, but there are certain circumstances I'm under-"

"Like what?"

Eunhye took a deep breath before glancing at Heiryung and Jaehwa, the two girls chatting with no issue.

"Well for one my moms a bit... yeah," Eunhye didn't finish her sentence, it wasn't needed.

"And two... well my cousin right now is taking care of a kid, and well, to be able to see that kid more I have to be perfect in the eyes of my mom."

"Why in your mom's eyes if it's your cousin's kid?"

Eunhye inhaled.

"Because the kid is mine."

Meirong froze her face paling as she looked at the older girl.

"It happened when I was around your age," she whispered, "wasn't my choice either, the only choice I had was to keep her."

Meirong nodded.

"My mom was 19 when she had my sister," she whispered, "now she's single and only has me... family's what you make it."

Eunhye looked down at her, the gap between the two girl's in front and then growing.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that my dad's a cheater," Meirong said, "my sister barely talks to me, and my mom has a mild drinking issue. They aren't really what I consider my family. I consider Heiryung family, Renjun, them..."

Eunhye glanced at Jaehwa's back.

"You can still be a mother to your daughter."

Eunhye nodded.

"Don't be scared to be you either," Meirong also said grabbing Eunhye's hand.

"It's who you are, who you're meant to be, the universe destined you to be, don't be ashamed."

Eunhye smiled.

"You're really smart for your age."

Meirong laughed.

"Thanks it's the PTSD."

Eunhye laughed.

"Yeah I get that."

The two caught up to Heiryung and Jaehwa and ate in comfortable silence.

"Wait so your cousin is Jungwoo," Heiryung exclaimed, a bit loud too.

"Yeah why?"

"Well," Heiryung said glancing at Meirong who immediately slammed her head into the table.

"Long story but....."

And Heiryung freely explained, her hands drifting to play with her shirt or the cuticles time to time, but it was ok. She was getting better, stronger.

And her hopes were higher, her dreams getting larger too.

And by the end of her explaining, Jaehwa and Eunhye were stunned into minor concern.

Just minor.

Maybe a little more than minor.

Uwu if you know where Jaehwa is from you know you know
