Sounds of sensuality lingered the whole house. Sejeong and Nayoung were having a steamy session by their bedroom. Nayoung was always the dominant in things like these, always enjoying the fact that she could make Sejeong so sensual, so feminine, and so soft.

Mina was asleep on her room, now renovated due to her age, so the two had their moment to themselves. Nayoung was listening to Sejeong's noises of pure bliss and desire when a ring disrupted them. Sejeong saw Nayoung looking at her phone when she picks it casually yet quickly, preventing the older girl to see the dialler.

Sejeong saw Hana's name. She excused herself, fixing the dangling straps of her bra and buttoning her shirt lightly as she answered the call.

"Hana?"

*Sejeongie, I miss you~* Hana's adorable voice rang on Sejeong's ear and the Ahjussi couldn't hold back her smile.

"I miss you too." Sejeong said back. "How are you and Hyeyeon?"

*We're fine, dear. Mimi even came to visit. Hyeyeon is just too cute.* Hana answered.

"Call me if anything happens. I'll be there instantly." Sejeong mumbled.

*Someone's jealous. Don't worry, Sejeong-ah. Mimi is just concerned. She's my best friend after all.*

Sejeong replied with a hum. She checked for Nayoung and saw her playing with Mina. Sejeong went out again as she and Hana talked.

*Would you come here instantly if I tell you?* Hana asked her.

"Yes." Sejeong said.

*Then skip work and come home right now.*

"I have to finish the last of the blueprints. I'll come home this evening." Sejeong reasoned.

*Okay. We'll have a family outing tomorrow, okay?*

"Yes, ma'am." Sejeong answered.

*Hyeyeon needs me. See you soon.* Hana said.

"Okay. See you soon. Say hi to our baby Hyeyeon for me." Sejeong chuckled.

*I love you...*

"I love you too. Bye." Sejeong said and hung up.

Sejeong went back and there was Nayoung, toddling a cute baby Mina, singing her a nursery rhyme. Sejeong giggled and joined in, harmonizing with Nayoung, making Mina grin and clap her hands lightly.

"Someone's a singer." Nayoung grinned at Sejeong.

"You're not so bad yourself." Sejeong grinned back.

"Eomma! Appa!" Mina yelped with her baby voice.

The couple ogled of their daughter's cuteness. Mina reached her arms and snuggled herself between her parents. Sejeong and Nayoung put their baby on the matted floor and watched her. 

Mina was a year old. Sejeong and Nayoung spent time on her birthday. Sally and Soyee and Haebin were invited and were honored as godparents for baby Mina. She was a big bundle of joy, learning how to walk on little paces and saying cute words. What makes her adorable is when she eats tons of finger food.

Nayoung helped her learn, teaching anything Mina should know on her stage. From books to toys, Nayoung turned herself into a teacher for Mina. Sejeong, on the other hand, taught her through little games and expressions. Sejeong would grin or make a face and Mina tried to mimick. Mina tried Sejeong's signature wink once and it looked like she was dazed. The expression was so cute Nayoung took a video and rendered it into a GIF image.

Today, Mina was beginning to walk and Nayoung and Sejeong clapped lightly. Nayoung took footage, even calling Mina to come closer. Mina giggled and ran to her Appa when she fell down. Sejeong was quick to pick her up when Mina was in the brink of crying. Mina pouted as trembled. 

"Aigoo, baby it's okay~" Sejeong kissed her cheek. "Eomma is here~ lalala~"

Mina smiled again. Nayoung does a peek-a-boo out of the blue and Mina laughed that Sejeong and Nayoung almost died of her cuteness. They had the weekends spent on their daughter and they couldn't be happier.

•••••

Hana called her to come home immediately and Sejeong made an abrupt excuse to Nayoung. Nayoung, being the considerate Alpha, lets her. Now, Sejeong rushed inside her home and was greeted by a power hug.

"Sejongie~" Hana called and kissed her cheek.

 Sejeong chuckled and hugged her wife back. "Hi, honey..."

Hana giggled of Sejeong's Ahjussi remarks. She pulled Sejeong inside and they went to Hyeyeon's room and there she was, her hand. Hana chuckled of the sight as she and Sejeong got in. Hyeyeon looked at her parents with curious eyes as she reached her hands towards them.

Hana wiped her slimy hand and Hyeyeon held onto her hand. Sejeong giggled as Hyeyeon grabbed her hair. Sejeong was a funny sight for Hana as she watched Hyeyeon mess her Appa's hair.

"Aigoo...we have a future hair specialist here." Sejeong carried Hyeyeon and Hana laughed hard of Sejeong's statement.

Seeing Hana laugh made Sejeong happy. She wrapped an arm around Hana and carried Hyeyeon towards their bedroom. The couple laid beside each other as Hyeyeon was between them. Sejeong got a rattle for Hyeyeon and she played with it. Hana saw their baby girl distracted that she inched her face closer to Sejeong's and kissed her nose.

"Thank you..." Hana spoke.

"For what?" Sejeong asked.

"For being the best wife and for Hyeyeon." Hana reached to cup Sejeong's cheek. "I never thought we'd have a child after those years of marriage."

Sejeong kissed that hand. "Thank you...for carrying our child and give birth to our Hyeyeon all healthy and bright."

Hana and Sejeong shared a nose-to-nose gesture as they heard Hyeyeon gurgle, all while her thumb. Sejeong pulled her thumb out and Hana got her binky. Hana and Sejeong gave Hyeyeon a baby massage as memories flooded at the back of their minds.

Shin Bora and Kim Sejeong had four years of marriage without having children. Hana thought it was hopeless. Sejeong had her reasons.

Sejeong was lost at one moment without Nayoung. And when Hana came into her life, Sejeong was healed.

+++

Sejeong was a lost woman as she texted Sally, Soyee, and Haebin of Nayoung's whereabouts. Sejeong got replies of no findings and she was starting to lose it. Sejeong couldn't thank the three enough. They also lost their connection with Nayoung and the four of them worked together to at least get in touch with her and check if she recovered.

Sejeong continued to college with Sally and Soyee. Haebin was at another country for college and today, they were in an orientation as freshmen for Sections A and B.

"I can't believe we had to attend this. Now I missed my session in League of Legends." Soyee huffed.

"Come on, Soyee. It's just like the same thing when we were high-schoolers." Sally said. "So don't be a sourpuss and cooperate in this event."

"Sally has a point, Soyee." Sejeong said, filing the papers of the freshmen. "Sections A and B need sorting. There were ties of scores so we need to be evaluated on who will be on A and B."

The two nodded as students came in. Seniors also came in for interviews so the three lined up to be interviewed. In the line, Sejeong watched Soyee jam with a timid student and Sally doing sign language for a deaf student. Sejeong was called last and there were two students on her sides.

"Jung Mimi and Shin Bora." The senior called.

Two girls nodded. Sejeong grabbed an extra seat for the other student and the two sat down, facing Sejeong.

"Let's start with you, Jung Mimi." The senior said and a cute girl bowed.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Jung Mimi-imnida." Mimi spoke.

"According to your results, you are tied with Shin Bora here." The senior pointed at the girl on Sejeong's right. "Your first question is...what does it take to be a student in Section A?"

Mimi answered. Sejeong listened and nodded at some points. She looked at Mimi. She was cute and she was sophisticated with her words. She looked at her gesture...and she saw pride.

"Okay. Thank you." The senior nodded. "Next, which do you prefer: A or B?"

Mimi answered A. She explained her reasons, tackling on the knowledge and skill. Sejeong agreed to those ideas but she lacked one: attitude.

And by the looks of Mimi, it's one thing she needs to harness. No wonder Sejeong sensed pride.

"Thank you, Mimi. Next, Shin Bora." The senior called.

Mimi cheered for her as Bora faced the senior. Sejeong smiled on how cute and pretty she was. As she looked her side, Sejeong's inner conscience gulped. She was just gorgeous.

Sejeong couldn't avert her eyes. She found out her name, Shin Bora. Bora was sophisticated like Mimi but they were total opposites in attitude. Sejeong could feel that Bora was a nice girl and had the same perspective as her. All this time she was admiring her when she was snapped out of reality.

"Kim Sejeong?" The senior asked as Sejeong nodded. "Same questions."

Sejeong answered them. The senior was intrigued, Mimi thought it was all for show? And Bora? She found Sejeong fascinating and somehow, she has her little crush on the mysterious student.

The interview ended. The senior shook hands with them. Sejeong called for Sally when she felt a pat on her shoulder. She looked up and the two students were in front. Sejeong holds her call as Mimi held out a hand. "Kim Sejeong, right?" 

"Yes. Nice to meet you, Jung Mimi." Sejeong shook hands with her.

"My best friend, Shin Bora." Mimi introduced her little crush.

Sejeong and Bora shook hands as Hana smiled. "Please. Call me Hana."

Sejeong was obliged to do so, seeing Mimi's serious face on her peripheral vision.

"We should get going now." Mimi grabbed Hana's hand. "See you when we see you, Sejeong."

"Okay." Sejeong nodded.

"Bye, Sejeong." Hana waved as she then went with Mimi.

Sejeong blushed. She never thought her crush at first sight and her introductions. Her wave of goodbye had gone with the wind as she went back to Sally's call.

*What was that, Sejeong? I had to hold onto my phone like a sicko for almost five minutes. Where are you?*

"Still here at the auditorium. Are you guys at the canteen?"

*Yeah. The food here is delicious. They got your favorite, tuna sandwich.*

Sejeong grinned and walked quickly out of the auditorium. "Save me a seat and two sandwiches."

***

It was the first day. Hana and Mimi were in a car. Mimi was the one driving as they arrived at school. Hana noticed her bestfriend sighing hard.

"What's wrong?" Hana asked.

"I can't believe we can't be classmates. Why was I in Section B?" Mimi huffed, making Hana ogle on how Mimi was cute.

"Don't fuss. We'll eat lunch together, okay?" Hana got down first.

Mimi nodded and hopped off. She got her ride secured and the both of them went inside the campus together. The room on Section A was on the fifth floor, Section B on the third. Mimi volunteered to Hana up but Hana insisted she should be early for her class.

"Text me when you're done." Mimi said.

"Okay." Hana nodded and hugged Mimi. "Love you, buddy."

"Love you too." Mimi whispered and went inside the classroom.

Hana went to the elevator to get a ride up the fifth floor but it was full. Hana sighed and decided to take the stairs when she bumped onto someone.

"Sorry-" Hana apologized and froze as she saw her crush.

"My bad..." Sejeong smiled lightly.

"I-I'm sorry..." Hana apologized again.

Sejeong nodded lightly. Sejeong went ahead. Hana saw a glimpse of Sejeong tripping on the stairs that she giggled and went to the comfort room.

At the comfort room, Hana regains her composure. She never thought she'd see Sejeong again. And with Sejeong's smile she couldn't hold her squeal. She sighed again and went up the stairs towards her classroom.

The setting was of the usual podium-like tables. Hana noticed that there was a vacant seat so she went up and sat there. She looked around, seeing different faces and one she didn't expect: Sejeong's...

She was on the other side, with a Chinese girl sitting next to her. Hana noticed Sejeong looking at her and Sejeong smiled. Hana thought it was all too quick and her heart was beating franticallly. 

That little display of grins had to be disrupted since class was starting. It was all on introductions of the teacher, students, and lessons. It went on until lunchtime. Hana got her things and two girls were in front of her.

"Shin Bora, right?" The Chinese girl guessed.

"Mind me for Sally. She used to be quiet. I never thought she'd interact." Sejeong sat in front of Hana. "I never thought we'd be classmates, Hana."

"Me too." Hana said.

"Shall we have lunch?" Sejeong asked. "You and Mimi can join us."

"Nice. Let me call Soyee." Sally went outside with her phone.

"You won't mind?" Sejeong asked Hana.

"Not at all." Hana grinned.

***

Lunch was so much fun for five friends. The three 96ers (as they call themselves) got to meet Hana and Mimi. Hana was happy to meet Sejeong's friends but somehow, her focus was on Sejeong. 

Sally was like Hana. Soyee and Mimi were awkward. Mimi thought of lunch with just her and Hana but she never thought Sejeong would be there. Sally was a consideration but somehow, Soyee made her cringe lightly, to think they were in the same class.

After that, classes resumed. Section A ended early. For B, they had vacant time but they have their evening class. For now, Hana and Mimi were by the kiosks.

"I can wait for you, Mimi." Hana said.

"No. You're going home." Mimi said again. "You need to study and rest."

Hana pinched Mimi's cheeks and Mimi pouted.

"Why are you so adorable?" Hana wondered.

Mimi shrugs. The ring of the school bell was heard as Mimi got her stuff ready and bid Hana goodbye. Hana was now alone at the kiosks. Hana didn't want to go home. She wanted to wait for Mimi. 

"Why are you sitting here alone?" Sejeong was in front of her. 

"Waiting for Mimi. Although she told me to go home." Hana answered.

"I see." Sejeong nodded. "Although the classes end at seven."

"Seriously?" Hana reacted. "Aigoo...I think I should...go home..." 

"Why don't we go out together?" Sejeong offered.

Hana nodded. She and Sejeong got up and went out together. For Hana, it was a start of her admiration towards Sejeong.

***

The first year of college took a little toll in the lives of five girls.

Soyee ended the year transferring to another school. Sejeong and Sally took it the most, Hana was sad, and Mimi felt at ease of both of their awkwardness yet she was sad because she and Soyee were trying to grow closer as friends and it had to end because of it.

Sally was growing interactive. During classes, they had their individual works, pairs, and trios. She, together with Hana and Sejeong, had their trio. She did her individual works with Sejeong's help and she always paired with their other Chinese classmate, Zhou Jieqiong.

Mimi became a bit distant. With Soyee gone, she tried to bring the usual routine being with Hana and Hana only. But recently, Hana had been ogling about Sejeong. Mimi and her had their hangouts but Hana talked too much about Sejeong. Another case was that Sejeong joined them and Mimi felt jealous and awkward, causing her to distance herself. Despite of that, she ws always there when Hana needed her. After all, they were best friends.

Hana had been the talk of the campus as they were finishing their first year. Sejeong and Mimi made their names in the campus. Sejeong was A's first honor and a singer of the Glee Club. Mimi was dubbed for being one of the best pastry makers for home economics and was the first honor of B. And with Hana's relationship with the two and as a campus crush, she made a name as well. There were times the three of them walked together on the corridors and students dubbed them as the Big 3.

Sejeong was still the corny Ahjusshi. She prioritized her studies and friends. She was the girl everyone expected her to be...but she was still the same lost girl in love...all because she never saw her first love again.

But recently, Hana's been filling gaps on her heart. Whenever she and Hana went out, she was happy with Hana's company. Something in the girl made her fall in admiration. Also, her Alpha instincts developed as she would display a protective image for Hana.

Sejeong and Hana had this connection and would go out to eat and hang out. But somehow, emotions were getting out of control.

Who would do the first roll of confession?

***

Sally watched Sejeong pacing around the room. She wondered of the Ahjusshi's behavior until Sejeong lets out a scream.

"Yah,Ahjusshi. What's your problem?" Sally asked, covering her ears.

"Yah! Why am I feeling mushy whenever Hana is around? Gosh, heeeelp~"

Sally gasped as she stopped Sejeong from pacing once more. "What are you saying, Sejeong? Are you crushing on Hana?"

As Sejeong gave a little nod, Sally would've been supportive...but there this one little problem...

"What about Nayoung? You're letting her go? What if she's still alive and we find her? What if Nayoung waited?"

"How can she be alive, Sally? We haven't seen her for almost three years. I doubt we can see each other again." Sejeong spoke. "Maybe I should start over..."

Sally lets her decide...and Sejeong aims to restart her phase in love.

***

Hana and Sejeong were going out, having fun with each other's company. They were at the mall, strolling around, eating food, and played arcade games. A karaoke machine got their attention and Hana pulled Sejeong closer. She drops a coin and got the microphones.

"Let's sing a song, Sejeong." Hana smiled.

Sejeong nods. Hana picks a song they both knew and sang together. While singing, Sejeong couldn't help but put emotion into her voice, all while gazing into Hana's eyes. Hana also felt the same until they ended their singing all soothing and breath-taking. They saw some people applauding and taking pictures as Hana and Sejeong just chuckled, enjoying each other's company.

***

The day ended up to be one of the best memories the both of them had. Sejeong and Hana got out of the mall, the both of them waiting for each of their taxis back home.

"Thanks for today, Sejeong," said Hana.

"No problem." Sejeong grinned.

"Let's have each other's contacts." Hana said and Sejeong agreed.

They switched phones and got each other's numbers. They also got each other's selcas until it was time to go. One taxi came to their attention as Sejeong lets Hana catch a ride first. Hana thanked her and bid goodbye as she got in.

Sejeong looked at a distance. She smiled and somehow, her heart eased as she was with Hana. She couldn't help but chuckle as she held her chest.

"Hana..."

+++

Sejeong and Nayoung were at the mall with their little Mina. Sejeong was always watchful as Mina squanders around like a big bundle of joy. Nayoung was the composed one, just watching their little child run around and watching her lover catch up to her.

"Sejeong-ah, let her run. It's part of learning." Nayoung said.

"She could get hurt." Sejeong said but she stopped, already tired to catching up to her daughter. "I feel so old."

Nayoung called Mina and she ran back to her Appa. Nayoung hoisted her little girl up and Mina giggled.

"Aigoo...look how you made your Eomma worry." Nayoung said to Mina.

"Sowwy Eomma." Mina spoke then her eyes gleamed at a stuffed penguin. "Penguin~ Eomma, Appa, buy Penguin~"

Nayoung nodded. Sejeong also agreed that they went inside to buy it.

•••••

Sejeong was happy for the whole month with Nayoung and Mina. She loved the sight of her Alpha with their baby and for herself to also raise their daughter and become the best lover Nayoung could ask for.

But recently, bile builds up her gut as guilt seeped in. It would've been typical to choose one but she can't. She loved both of them and had children with the both of them. She can't choose. It's unfair...

But is it not? Sejeong couldn't figure it out for herself as she lets it pass, making sure none of them had suspicions.

===

That was the third chapter, everyone. I decided to finish this for some reason and I would be starting with the fourth but not of this time because I'll be taking my final of examinations for Physics and I will be busy until next week. But stay tuned to it.

That's all for now. Lovelots from asahdako.
