@ blank123 : Yeah, you're right. It was me who was grinning the whole time.
@ A_Deewaggie : I notice all of my readers, and I try to reply to all your comments one by one. And I like to do the reply inside my fic instead of using the "Reply" button in the comment section, so that everyone can read it too.
@ Wivern : Okay, had intended to make Mina be the whipped one. But it's very hard, due to her dense/carefree personality here. Do you have any idea how to make her whipped?
@ krina_love : Mina is not crazy. It's the Authornim who is crazy.
@ jyp_stan : Writing this fic got in me always in the mood.
SaTzu shipper (sapphire), where you at? Here I give you SaTzu spicy moment! They're going to be a badass couple!
SATURDAY MORNING.
It's been two weeks since Mina and Nayeon started dating. And now they were going for a babysitting date at the amusement park.
As always, Chaeyoung prepared everything for Seoyeon in a bag. It's filled with child necessity.
Nayeon arrived at Mina's house around 10 AM. And she was very happy upon meeting Seoyeon. The little girl was dressed cutely in her pink shirt and overall jeans. Nayeon once again felt herself almost bursting out from joy and happiness. Her dream to reunite with Seoyeon would be coming true soon.
"Mommy bunny, do you bring a new toy for me?" Seoyeon asked cutely. It had become a habit for Nayeon to bring something for Seoyeon whenever she came to visit the little girl at Mina's house.
Nayeon smiled. "No. But we can buy it today. I will take you to the shop so that you can pick it yourself."
"Yaaaaay!! I want a Play Doh!! Mommy bunny will go with me and Mina-unnie today?" Seoyeon asked.
"Yes, I will go with you and Mina-unnie today." Nayeon nodded.
"Will Sana-unnie come too?" Seoyeon asked innocently.
Uh oh!
Nayeon, Mina, and Chaeyoung were startled upon hearing that question. Though it was understandable why Seoyeon was asking that question. Seoyeon had been living with Myoui Family for four months, and the couples (DubChaeng and MiSana) often took Seoyeon out for a babysitting date, so of course Seoyeon grew up very close to Sana too.
Nayeon took a sigh. "No, Sana-unnie is not coming with us today." She said while smiling awkwardly.
"Why?" Seoyeon asked.
"Because today she is very busy." Nayeon said.
"Will she come next time?"
"Mmm.... Yeah. Maybe." Nayeon said while glancing at Mina.
Tck! There's no way I would bring Sana with us. That will be a . No. Mina is mine, and mine only.
Chaeyoung then began to give Nayeon a briefing on how to take care of Seoyeon during their babysitting date.
"Nayeon-unnie." Chaeyoung said clearly and politely. "This is her clothes and her raincoat, in case it will be raining today. This is the medical kits, in case she falls or gets injured while playing. This is the to-do-list and the not-to-do-list. And this is a note of Seoyeon's food allergy. Please take a moment to read it before you leave."
Nayeon took and read the list, which looked more like a "Babysitting Survival Guide".
"Okay, I understand, don't worry, we will bring her home, safe and sound." Nayeon said smiling at Chaeyoung.
Chaeyoung nodded and smiled back. Deep inside, she was a bit worried. This was the first time Mina and Nayeon took Seoyeon on their date. When Mina and Sana took Seoyeon with them for the first time, Chaeyoung also felt worried. Mina was never good at taking care of a child. She usually just wanted to play with them and mostly left the caretaking job to Sana every time they went out on a babysitting date with Seoyeon. And fortunately, despite being a clumsy girl, Sana proved herself to be quite good in taking care of Seoyeon. Now Chaeyoung expected Nayeon to do the same.
Nayeon then took Seoyeon to the car, with Mina followed behind. The baby seat car was borrowed from Mina's car, and was installed on the backseat. Seoyeon was put sitting on the babyseat, with Mina sat next to her and Nayeon sat on the driver seat.
The trip to the amusement park was nice. They were singing children's songs together and playing riddles and wordplays. Seoyeon was a smart kid, she could understand and learn things fast from the people around her. Mina and Momo even taught Seoyeon a basic Japanese lesson, and they both were surprised to see how fast Seoyeon learned. But then again, children's brains were still fresh and pure, unlike adults whose brain was already overloaded with a lot of things and daily work.
Upon arriving at their destination, Nayeon parked their car at the parking lot, and together they walked into the amusement park. Nayeon held Seoyeon's left hand while Mina held her right hand. And only walking together like this had brought a huge amount of joy and happiness inside Nayeon's heart.
Nayeon had visited this amusement park with Jaebum, two or three times, and several times with her sisters. And this was the first time she went here with Mina and Seoyeon. Nayeon still remembered how she had stalked Mina and Sana and Seoyeon to this amusement park, a month after Seoyeon was adopted by the Myouis. She was so depressed back then, seeing Seoyeon from a faraway and longing to hold her. Now, she was able to hold hand with Seoyeon and hug her anytime.
"Wait here, I'll buy some snacks for us." Mina said after they entered the amusement park.
The penguin girl then left to the convenience store, while Nayeon and Seoyeon waited near the entrance gate.
A group of middle-aged women came from the other side of the park. They brought children with them. Nayeon recognized some of them as her business partners' wives.
"Nayeonie! I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"Oh, you come here with a kid, who is she!?"
"Nayeon, I heard you've cancelled your engagement. I am so sorry to hear that. I always thought you looked perfect together with Jaebum."
Those women came surrounding Nayeon.
"Who is this kid? Is she your relative?"
Nayeon blinked. "Errr... No, she is my friend's daughter."
Deep inside she felt so guilty, for denying her daughter over and over again.
"Oh, she's so cute. What's your name, little girl?"
"Seoyeon, ahjumma." The bunny kid answered politely.
"Who's your mother, Seoyeon?" asked them.
"My mother is Yejin-eomma." Seoyeon answered.
Once again, Nayeon felt guilty and a little saddened to hear Seoyeon's answer. And she wondered when she would be able to acknowledge Seoyeon as her birth daughter.
Nayeon spent a few minutes talking with those women, and then they left, waving her a goodbye.
At that time, Mina returned from the convenience store. From a distance she saw Nayeon talking to those women. She recognized some of them as the wives of businessmen, politicians, and other public figures in the town.
Mina noticed a hint of sadness in Nayeon's face and she wondered if those women had said something that disturbed her.
"Those women. What were they talking with you?" Mina asked.
"Nothing. They just came and greeted me." Nayeon said, trying to hide her sadness.
Mina stared at Nayeon. She remembered Yejin's advice to her, just a day before she confessed to Nayeon. Yejin advised her to start trying to observe other people's feelings and the change in their mood and behavior. And today, Mina noticed there was a change of mood in Nayeon's face. After talking with those women, Nayeon seemed a bit saddened.
Mina then spoke to her girlfriend. "Nayeon, you know you can tell me everything now. I'm your girlfriend. And even though I can't help you solve your problem, I'm sure it will help a little if you share your burden with me."
Nayeon fell silent. She didn't expect Mina to notice the change in her behavior. She realized it must be because she had lost a bit of her poker face skill. And after she broke down and cried in front of Mina two weeks ago, she knew her four walls of guard wouldn't be as strong as before.
Nayeon let out a sigh. "I will... I will tell you when I'm ready."
"Okay."
"Thank you, Mina."
Mina just nodded and smiled.
"Come on, Seoyeon, let's go to the ball pit first before it's too crowded."
MEANWHILE.
Sana arrived at Tzuyu's apartment. Tzuyu opened the door and let her in. As Sana observed, the room that they had cleaned up last week had become a bit messy again. There were more newspaper clips on the desk. It seemed Tzuyu was always busy doing research and investigation, even on holidays.
"What are you working on, Chewy?" Sana asked, curious.
"Oh this, I'm... uhh..." Tzuyu was
