Chapter 18
My blessingIt's been 2 days. Irene still not done with her alone moments. Seulgi keep visiting her and she always update the Kim family of what is happening at Irene. Also sometimes Seulgi is following her secretly when she was walking at night in the han river. She was going there to think. Sometimes Joy or Yeri is with her. She's not mad at them. She come to realization that this kid only want to help.
In the other hand, not only Seulgi is watching Irene walk at night. There this two guy who was wearing an all black outfit with cap and mask. They keep following her and memories her routine.
"Tomorrow someone will accompany her. Whether it's your girl or that small cop that your girl is flirting with." Bogum said.
They was hiding in the back of a post that still can see Irene figure.
"If that small cop accompany her tomorrow. I will make sure to beat her to pulp." He said getting angry at Yeri.
"Calm down. She's still a woman."
"I don't care what her gender is. I only want her to disappear in Joy's life."
"Fine. I'll handle Irene and you can handle her companion understand?"
"Yes. And after that let's part ways. Let's handle our own guest."
"Deal. But if you need help, call me."
"Yeah. Thank you man."
The two got home when Irene started to take a cab and go home. Their plan for tomorrow is on. They will just let a day for them to prepare. To make the plan clean.
Instead of going home. Irene goes back to their old home in Daegu. She open the door of the house she use to live with what she thought her parents. She goes to her old room and all the memories flashbacks. Their bonding, the time when her mother will read her a story for her to sleep. When her mother sing her to sleep in her fathers arm. It is still hurt her to know that she was not their biological child.
She clean her old room. She remember what Taeyeon said, that her mother wrap her with a blanket that Tiffany made for her. So, she goes to her parents room and start looking for it. While looking around she find a notebook saying "To my dear child Irene." in the cover. It seems like her mother leave her with a letter in a notebook. She get it and open every cabinet that she knows had clothings.
She remove her mother clothings and find nothing. She does the same with her father's clothings and find nothing. She was tired already and it's starting to be midnight. So, she rest and sit beside the feet of the bed. When she was sitting already. But when she was about to put her head in her arms, she see a box underneath the cabinet.
She walk to it and get it. She goes back to her room. It was secured with a masking tape all around the box. She get a sharp object under the lamp shade and open it. When she open it, her remaining tears start to flow like a fall. Inside was the said blanket cover in a clear plastic. There also a paper who looks like a medical record.

She now knows that Taeyeon was serious. That her mother only kidnapped her in the nursery. She feel sorry for what her mother did at the Kim family.She feel so drain in what she found out today. She lay on her bed, hugged the blanket that Tiffany made to sleep. For the first time after knowing the truth to her foster parents kin. She now can sleep with ease with the blanket that her true mother gave her.
Meanwhile Seulgi was still following her that night. Worried that something might happen to her or worst do something unnecessary. It's already midnight and Irene still not leaving the house. She decided to just sleep in her car and wake up early for tomorrow.
While all of that happened Yeri was also had problems. She can't tell anyone about it because all of them was thinking about Irene. Now, she know that she need to do it in her own. She was thinking about it for a whole day. She need to face her problem now. She was in her room and start calling Joy.
"Hello. Yerimie?"
"Ahm! Joy ah. Are you busy? Do you have schedule?"
"We're almost done. Are you going to pick me up?"
"Yes and can we have a talk before going home?"
"Talk? Why? Did something happen to you too?"
"Ahm! Not really. I'll just tell you once you are done with your photo shoots. I will be there."
"Okay then. Take care okay."
"Yes. You too. Bye."
The call ends. Yeri wear some proper clothes. Wearing a white tee tucked in her high waist jeans and black belt she get her car key not forgetting to bring her black leather jacket. She ask Joy her location and she replied immediately.
Joy was already bidding goodbye at her co-workers when she see Yeri exit to her car. She was starstruck at Yeri's beauty. The said girl even let her blonde her fall. She's not in her usual bun hair. "Wow! I think I'm falling. She's such a chic." Joy thought. She only awakened by her thoughts when Yeri call her and wave at her. "I need to confess to her later. I won't let this hot, chic, cop let go of my arms." She said to her self. She walk to her and smile. The smile that make her fall for her so much deeper.
"You're so hot right now babe." Joy whisper at her which make her blush.
"Th...Thank you." She said getting shy.
"Hahah you're cute. Let's go. Let me drive us." Joy said asking the car key.
"No. I will drive. You need to eat first." Yeri don't want her to be tired.
"You know I can drive there right. Just give me the address cause it's getting cold here." Joy complain cause she was only wearing a white sleeveless also tucked in her black ripped jeans. She still had her arms laid for the key.
"Oh! Here. Wear this. And here is the key since you insist." Yeri offer her jacket and Joy gladly accept it and get the key from Yeri's hand.
"That's my girl. Let's go." Joy walked to the driver seat while Yeri left still standing there spacing out because of what Joy said.
"Yah! Kim Yerim. Let's go." Joy said laughing at Yeri's cuteness.
"Ah yes. Sorry. Let's go." They enter the car and Joy started to drive in the restaurant they will eat dinner at.
They got there and they ordered. They eat first because Yeri know that Joy is hungry from all the work she done. When they are they walk to the park side by side. Yeri can't look at Joy because of nervousness while Joy keep glancing at her looking for a right time to confess. They sit on a bench under the tree.
"Yerimie. I have to tell you something." Joy said obvious that Yeri can't talk first.
"Me too. But you can talk first." Yeri said playing with her hand.
"Hmm! Woah!" Joy take a deep breath which make Yeri look at her.
"Yeri the thing is I don't know if it's okay with you or you feel the same way but I just want to tell you th...that I...I like you. You don't need to answer me right away. I just want you to know." She continue.
Joy don't know how happy Yeri is. She thought Yeri was not feeling the same because of her poker face.
"Ahm! Yerimie. Say something please." Joy said can't take the silent of her companion.
"I...I don't know what to say." Yeri said with her poker face.
"I'm so happy." She continue and smile widely.
She suddenly hug Joy tighly which almost make them fall on the bench.
"You're happy?" Joy can't believe what she heard. It feels like a dream for her.
"Yeah. I also want to confess to you today that's why I want to meet up with you." Yeri said breaking the hug but the smile never leave her face.
"Really! Why you didn't tell me earlier? Do I really waiting for me to confess?"
"It's not that. I just thought that maybe you won't like me cause your straight. Remember you had ex boyfriend." She explained her reason.
"Ahh! I get it now. Not because I used to have boyfriend means I can look at others." She explained.
"You know that peoples comes to our life either it's a man or woman to stay or leave us with lesson in life. So, would you stay or leave? If you'll stay then you will be my girl. And if you will leave let us stay friend. Forget that I confess to you. Your choice. What your answer?" Joy stated her conditions.
"Then I was willing to be your girl as long as you want me to." Yeri said full of confidence.
"Really?! Then it's a deal. You can't backdown now."
"I won't and never would."
That statement from Yeri made Joy more secured that Yeri would never leave her and be stranger with each other afterwards. They look at each other with smile at their face and slowly lean to capture each other's lips passionately. Loving the sensation and savoring the happy moment.
