AUTHOR NOTE: According to the timeline, the event of robbery incident and Seoyeon's adoption by Myoui Family happened around two and a half months after Mina and Sana started dating. And now in this chapter it will be around four months in the MiSana dating timeline.

BludMoon_ : Sana will get jealous for sure.

Wivern : Yes! More reasons to have a fight scene! The penguin will have her kicked next.

blank123 : Let’s see what will happen next.

krina_love : Okay, next time, I will wear the night vision glasses.

jyp_stan : Oh please, don’t remind me about Chiaki again.

@ Hosana_to_highest : Every story consists of two parts: static, and dynamic. Structure is a static part of the story. Story flows is the dynamic part of the story. Structure includes the defining of characters’ traits and personalities, family relationships, job/occupation, social status, background story, trauma in the past, etc. Story flows includes the interactions between the characters, conflicts, and plots in the story. Once you have defined a structure for a big-scale story, then it will be easier to build the story flows and conflicts. So the first thing you have to do is to build the structure. After that, the characters will speak and act for themselves, and the story will write itself.

You see in the beginning, there are readers who found this fic is too slow, and that I spent too much time explaining details and giving too much information, which sometimes are unnecessary. That is because at that time I was focusing too much on the structure. But you see now, after all the structures have been defined, we can move very fast with the story flow in a convenient way because the readers are already very well-informed with the background/structure.

And compared to the pirate fic, this cowgirl fic is actually much more complex. The pirate fic only has one main arc, and one main villain. Everything revolved around Mina and Chiaki. But here in this fic, we have a lot of characters, a lot of villains, each has different stories.

CHAPTER 94 MOMMY BUNNY'S DIARY

MONDAY MORNING. AT THE IM RANCH.

Nayeon was sitting alone in her room. She was supposed to prepare something for her next meeting with the shareholders. However, she found herself working on another thing: her mission to get Mina and Seoyeon.

Nayeon opened her diary and read her to-do-list.

Buy Seoyeon a lot of gifts: clothes, books, toys, food, etc. Join Chaeyoung and Dahyun babysitting Seoyeon on their dates. And stalk Mina and Sana while they're babysitting Seoyeon on their dates (joining them would be a disaster). Show more affection and protection for Mina. Use every opportunity to make a move on Mina and get her attention. Find all the reasons to slap Mina so that I can kiss her after that. But remember to not slap her too hard. Make an agreement with Mina to get more kisses and hugs from her. Find reasons to visit Myoui's house to meet Mina and Seoyeon, and get closer to them.

Nayeon frowned.

Hm. What reason? What reason? Oh, how about joining their training? But I don't like fighting. My body is stiff. I'm bad at sport. I'm afraid Mina will ask me to spar with Sana if I join their training. And Sana has been training with them for quite a long time. I'm sure Sana will be more than happy to use me as her punching bag. Uhhh! I don't want that to happen. But I don't have another reason to visit them. Tck. What should I do?

Nayeon kept on thinking.

I really need to find a reason to visit Mina's house. It's been two weeks since the last time I saw my daughter. And now I really miss my baby so much. Seoyeon, how are you? Mommy miss you.

Nayeon then opened another page in her diary. It contained a weekly logs or journals about her Seoyeon activity.

WEEK 1: Robbery incident. Seoyeon is adopted by Myoui Family. [A/N : This is two-and-half months of MiSana dating] WEEK 2: No news about Seoyeon. WEEK 3: Barbeque party. Mommy bunny meet and talked with Seoyeon for the first time. [A/N: Nayeon is referring to herself as mommy bunny here] WEEK 4: Mina and Sana had a babysitting date to the amusement park. Mommy bunny is stalking them. WEEK 5: A ride to the savannah and the river with Mina. Mommy bunny tried to make a move on penguin. WEEK 6: Chaeyoung brought Seoyeon to the Im's house. They played all day with Dahyun. Unfortunately, mommy bunny had to attend a talk show with the town's mayor, and therefore she couldn't meet and play with Seoyeon this week.

The last time Nayeon saw Seoyeon was when she stalked Mina and Sana's babysitting date. A week after that, Nayeon went to the savannah and the river with Mina, where she tried to seduce the penguin by stripping herself in front of her. A week later, Chaeyoung and Seoyeon came to visit the Im Mansion, but Nayeon wasn't home since she had to attend a talk show.

Now Nayeon missed her daughter so much and she really needed to find a reason to visit Seoyeon soon.

Not long after, Mina arrived at her office. The bruises on her face had been fully healed and she had returned to her default look: the cute and pretty penguin girl with a little bit of coolness and handsomeness.

As usual they talked about business and their new project with Jaebum, and other projects with other people. All this time, Mina's job was limited to work for Nayeon only. Now Nayeon was planning to give Mina more jobs and put her in a bigger team, not only with Jaebum but also with another ranch owner in the town. Mina was still lacking of confidence to work with people, but Nayeon kept motivating her.

"I know you can do it, Mina. You've been working very hard with me. I know you can do it too with other people in a bigger team."

"Hm. Alright. I will give it a try."

"Good."

The two discussed their projects for another minutes.

"Mina." Nayeon then spoke. "Is everyone still coming to your house for training?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I think I want to join you."

"Oh really?" Mina's eyes brightened.

"Yes. But honestly I don't really like fighting. So maybe I will just watch and do some exercise on my own. But I want to try hanging out with you all. It sounds fun."

Mina's eyes brightened even more, due to the excitement.

"Great! Nayeon! I've been waiting for you to join us! And of course, you can just sit and watch if you don't want to join the training."

"Thanks. When will the next training be held? And how often?"

"Next weekend. On Saturday. Everyone will come too, including Dahyun, and probably Jihyo if she's not busy. We usually hold it every two weeks, it's just a regular training. And once a month, we also held a tournament after the training, and almost everyone comes."

"Okay. I will come next weekend."

"And Mina, I want to ask you about something."

"Shoot."

"We know some people dislike you for being my business partners. But last Saturday I have dinner with the town's mayor, Mr. Choi Minsik. And he also has a strong dislike to you, even long before I came to this town and got to know about you. Do you have any idea why Mr Choi hates you? I know Sheriff Lee hates you after you and Sana sent his younger brother to prison. But what about Mr Choi? Why does he hate you?"

Mina thought for a moment, and then shook her head. "I have no idea."

Nayeon stared at Mina. "Mina, listen, I know you have a lot of haters in this town. And we know one of the reasons of them hating you is because they don't like our partnership. So what I'm asking from you is, please let me know whenever you got into trouble with them. And after what happened between you and Seunghyun, I kinda have the idea that those people are just hating on you for the wrong reasons. So Mina, please don't hesitate to let me know if you got into troubles with them. I will do my best to help you. You are one of my trusted friends, and I don't want to see my friends getting hurt by other people. If you feel something troubling you, please let me know." Nayeon said determinedly.

Mina was quite taken aback by Nayeon's speech.

"O-Okay. Thank you very much, Nayeon."

"You're welcome, Mina." Nayeon smiled.

After that, Mina left the office.

And the CEO was then left alone, smiling to herself. She opened her notebooks and put a check mark on an item.

Showing affection and protection. Check. But of course, I will have to do it again some other times to make sure Mina is getting my messages.

A few minutes later, Jeongyeon came to her office.

"Hi, Nayeon. This is the document for your legal affair with the environmental activist organization."

Nayeon took the document.

"Thank you, Jeong. Hm. This looks a bit different from your writing style."

"It's written by Daniel."

"Oh, your junior partner?"

"Yes. He's still new in those cases but I've given him guidance and checked his work, and he's good. You can check his work and if you feel satisfied, I can start delegating more cases from your company cases to him. He can also go back-and-forth to Seoul and take care legal stuff for your company there."

"Oh, that's good. I'm glad you have a partner, Jeong. I can trust him right?"

"Yes, we can trust him."

"Okay. Then I think you should bring him here to meet me."

"Right, I will."

Jeongyeon then leaned in closer to the table.

"I saw Mina leaving your room earlier. She looked very happy, smiling like an idiot. Did you just give her something or say something to her?" Jeongyeon said while giving Nayeon a teasing look.

Nayeon shifted back, avoiding Jeongyeon's gaze. "N-No."

"You're lying. I don't believe you. Mina looked really happy, as if she had just won a million won jackpot. And then I jokingly said to her, 'Hey Mina, you look so happy, did you just get a kiss from Nayeon?' And she answered, 'No, I was the one who get to kiss her this time'. What the heck, Nayeon! You never let anyone other than your sisters and your fiancé to kiss you! What's happening between you and Mina?" Jeongyeon asked.

And the CEO frowned upon hearing that.

Crap! I forgot to tell Mina to keep our agreement a secret! Now Jeongyeon is going to have a lot of fun teasing me about it.

"She said that to you? Oh she's just joking, Jeong. Of course I won't let her kiss me." Nayeon said coldly. And she did it without batting an eyelid.

The lawyer stared at the CEO. "But she looked very happy though. You must have said something to her that made her feel so happy like that. Tell me what is it?"

"Hm. I didn't say anything to her."

"You liar. Just tell me what is it, Nay?"

"Nothing, Jeong, nothing! Why won't you believe me?"

"Nayeon, you have a poker face, but Mina does not. If you wont tell me, I will go to Mina and find out from her."

Nayeon frowned at Jeongyeon. She then decided to just tell the lawyer. "Tck. Jeong. I just said to her that I wanted her to tell me whenever she had problems with those people who hate her. And that I will do my best to help her whenever she got into trouble with them. That's all. Nothing important. Just a friend's talk."

Jeongyeon smiled. "Obviously, it's very important for Mina. And now you're letting her know that you care for her. Guess our secret sugar mommy is not so secret anymore."

Nayeon glared at Jeongyeon. "Jeong, please, enough with that joke."

The lawyer chuckled.

"Anyway, Nay, I have some ideas to help you get closer to Seoyeon, while we're searching for a way to take her from Myoui."

"What is it?"

"First, get closer to Mina, which I already see you doing it little by little. Second, ask to join Dahyun and Chaeyoung in their babysitting date. Or go stalk them and then pretend to bump into them. Third, go visit Myoui's house more often so that you can meet Seoyeon. Maybe you can start by joining their training. It will be a bit hard at first. You will get bruised and injured for the first weeks. Mina is a very strict teacher. And she can be very harsh to her students sometimes. But I'm telling you, Nayeon, it's worth it. You'll get to hang out with the girls and you'll get to know more about them. Here in your office you only get to talk to Mina alone. But if you come to her house, you will get to talk to her family and her friends too. And those people are really nice and fun."

Nayeon listened attentively at Jeongyeon's suggestions. She then nodded.

"Well, actually, I already put all those things you mentioned into my to-do-list."

"Oh really? That's good for you. Keep going. Get closer to Mina. Join Dahyun babysitting Seoyeon. And visit their house and join their training. That's the best you can do at this moment."

Nayeon nodded. "Sure, Jeongyeon. I will do that. I will do anything to get my daughter back."

LATER ON THE EVENING.

The Im Family were having dinner together like usual.

"Jennie, I'm glad you come back to this town sooner. Nayeon really needs help in the ranch." SungRyung said.

"Yes, Auntie. And I'm glad to be here to help Nayeon." Jennie smiled while glancing at her cousin.

"Oh, tha
