 It was a busy day at Moonshot for Sooyoung and Seulgi. Since Seungwan moved to Vienna, it was Sooyoung who managed the cafe with her wife's help, the latter still a part time DJ but now at her own radio station named Youngstreet radio.

“Nini, don’t forget to clean table nine” Seulgi said while busy counting the money, she was the cashier of the day

“Ok captain~” Jennie gave an ok sign while tying her apron, the young girl always helping her auntie every weekend just like what her sister did years ago

“Babe, it’s time to pick up Jimin” Sooyoung reminded her wife

Seulgi gasped “Aigoo, almost forgot. I will pick her up now, any delivery order? Jongin should be back anytime soon”

“Yes, yes...please deliver this to aunt Hyori, just down the street” Sooyoung gave her wife the plastic bag

The latter nodded and gave a quick kiss to her wife’s cheek before dashing out of the cafe.

This busy scene brought a smile to a woman who was sitting in the corner. A hat and mask covering her face.

She chuckled quietly when she saw Jennie about to lose her balance while bringing the dishes but could handle herself after some (necessary) cursing.

“You’ve grown a lot Nini” She mumbled before scanning the cafe with her eyes

Sooyoung and Seulgi did a very good job in managing the cafe. From a small comfy cafe it became a two storey cafe and restaurant, 1st floor for cafe, 2nd floor for family restaurant.

Moonshot cafe and restaurant.

Sounded really good.

She looked at the interior and found a family portrait hanging on the wall.

In the picture, Seulgi, Sooyoung and their baby were sitting down on the sofa while Jennie and Joohyun were standing behind it. The younger one was smiling while her sister had a stoic face like she was dragged to have her picture taken (but still managed to look pretty nonetheless).

Beside the family portrait, there was a picture of the trio. Seungwan, who wore the biggest smile, stood in the middle between her taller friends. They put their arms around her shoulder but since she was shorter than her friends, the duo had to bend down a little. It looked funny.

The picture was taken 9 years ago in front of the cafe’s main door, to celebrate Sooyoung’s 100th day of working

Seungwan smiled while reminiscing about the past.

“Uh, excuse me”

She looked at the source of the sound, it was Sooyoung.

“Sorry to bother you but you haven’t ordered anything besides two cups of coffee since we opened this morning. I’m afraid you’ll have an upset stomach so please have this” Sooyoung gave her a warm butter croissant “It’s on the house” she added with a smile and was about to leave but her customer called her.

“Wait, Sooyoung-ah”

Sooyoung gave her a confused stare “Yes...”

The young pianist removed her hat and mask before grinning to herself “Hi”

Gasps

“Seungwan??”

**

“Hey, is it okay if both of you are sitting here with me?”

Seungwan asked worriedly since Moonshot was full of customers at the moment

“Don’t worry, we have enough employees now” Sooyoung wiped her tears, she cried the moment Seungwan hugged her

“Unnie, I thought you’d never come back” Jennie too couldn’t help but crying, she missed her Wannie

“A lot of things happened, I thought I wouldn’t comeback either” Seungwan patted the young Bae’s head like she used to do back then “But I’m here now so don’t cry Nini

“Seulgi was pretty upset you know, you promised to keep in contact with us”

“I’m really sorry for that” seungwan owed her best friend an apology “It just a lot of things happened and I was this close to losing my sanity”

“I wonder what happened but I’m just glad you’re back now. We thought you’re dead or something until we found an article about you in Forbes Korea”

Jennie whistled “They dubbed you as a charming and talented young pianist from South Korea, Son Wendy and it was written in bold”

Seungwan shook her head in a shy manner “They really exaggerate things”

“So have you met Hyun unnie?” jennie asked with a hopeful voice

“Ah, about that...”

“YOU!”

The three of them immediately looked at the main door, there was Seulgi with her daughter in her arms. She quickly walked to them and gave Jimin to her wife before mumbling “Cover her eyes”

“Huh, why?” Sooyoung asked while covering her daughter eyes

Without answering she proceeded to pull seungwan up by her collar

“Whoaa, I can expla...”

Thud

Seungwan fell on her with a hand covering her cheek, where seulgi just slapped her, HARD

“UNNIE!” Jennie shrieked as she helped Seungwan to stand up

“Babe, calm yourself!” Sooyoung held Seulgi’s arm in a warning tone

Seulgi exhaled loudly “I AM calm but my hand hurts. Damn you Son Seungwan! You should just rot in Vienna for all I care!” her eyes were starting to get glassy “You really abandoned us just like that! You said we’re family! You promised me forever, Seungwan”

Ignoring the stinging pain on her cheek, Seungwan immediately hugged her best friend, the pain was nothing compared to the pain that she caused to her family “I’m really sorry, Seulgi-ah"

**

“What brings you back?” Seulgi asked after she really calmed down, she had been ugly crying for 15 minutes “Do you need money?”

“I’m not that kind of person who only look for their friends when in need” Seungwan snorted, they were having lunch together on the second floor

“There must be something and obviously it’s not because of us” her friend was still bitter “I really want to punch you again right now”

“Kang Seulgi, stop it” her wife glared at her “Jimin is here”

“Sorry, it's just that I’m feeling a lot of things right now. I can’t believe she’s here after 8 years”

Jennie quickly jumped in “Wannie will have a tour in Korea, that’s why she is back. Right unnie?”

“Yes, that’s one of the reasons” Seungwan nodded “But I have another reason”

“Huh, what is it?” sooyoung who was feeding her daughter, stopped midair

“Keep feeding Jimin” Seungwan laughed at her “I’m also here for my daughter’s treatment”

*clang*

Jennie was so shocked, she didn’t even realize that her spoon had slipped from her hand

cough cough “Y...you have a daughter??” Seulgi said in between coughing, she choked on her orange juice

While sooyoung blinked in wonder “You are married now??”

“Then what about my sister??” Jennie suddenly remembered about her poor joohyun unnie, her eyes becoming watery.

“What about your sister?” Seulgi asked her niece back with confusion written on her face

“It’s nothing, right Nini?” Seungwan looked at jennie who started crying again like she just got dumped by her lover “We’ll talk about it later, stop crying” she whispered to the younger girl

“Ok, spill it out Wan. You are married to whom? when? and what about your daughter?” sooyoung asked curiously

“I’m not married”

Sooyoung was confused “Then…”

“I adopted her, she is Yoona unnie’s”

“Yoona, yoona wait your fi...first love?” Seulgi once again choked on her drink “What is she doing in Vienna??”

“It’s a long story” Seungwan said before telling them the story about Yoona’s dream and her pregnancy, the main reason why she decided to go with her to Vienna

“Wait, wait…if she was pregnant at that time then the father is..”

“My brother” Seungwan nodded “The baby is my niece”

“Then why is he not going to Vienna?” Seulgi was confused, she never met Seungwan’s brother and she didn’t even know what he looked like because Seungwan got rid of everything about him before she met Seulgi and Sooyoung.

“He didn’t want the baby so Yoona unnie left him” Seungwan simply said and hoped they didn’t ask further because it was like opening her wound all over again

“What an a$$” Seulgi was upset, she had a daughter too, well she wasn’t the one who carried the baby for 9 months, but she knew her wife’s struggle back then so she couldn’t imagine what Yoona had been through without her partner around her

“Oh dear” Sooyoung hugged Jimin sadly “oh dear…” she couldn’t help but picturing herself in Yoona’s position, so painful

“So where’s Yoona?” Seulgi asked with a sigh “I didn’t see her?”

“She is no longer in this world, she had been fighting over stage four brain tumor before having her final breath. Now it’s only me and Minjeong, my daughter. She is currently being treated in Seoul National Hospital due to heart failure, it’s a con heart disease. Joohyun is her appointed doctor”

They were so shocked once again

“That’s really unfortunate, Yoona and Minjeong” Seulgi said sadly “She lost her mom and fighting with her sickness at the same time, I…I can’t imagine if it was Jimin whose sick”

“It’s hard to believe isn’t it? I was so lost back then, I didn’t know what to do” Seungwan told her friend “I'm just glad that here in Korea, Minjeong is first on the list, she'll undergo surgery once they find the right donor”

“I’m sorry, I was mad at you” Seulgi guiltily said “I didn’t know you’ve been through a lot”

“It’s okay Seul. It was partially my fault, I kept you guys in the dark”

“But you did the right thing, Seungwan-ah” Sooyoung told her “If you didn’t go then what would happen to Minjeong? I just…I can’t imagine”

“Yes, I can’t imagine either” Seungwan her own tears, if she given the choice to go back in time, she would still go to Vienna but she would not keep everyone in the dark, she would tell them

“If your daughter is in the hospital, then where are you staying?” Sooyoung asked

“In a hotel near the hospital” Seungwan explained “until my manager finds a suitable apartment nearby”

“What nonsense” seulgi disapproved “Why didn’t you contact us as soon as you arrived in Korea? You could stay at our house”

“Well, I still owed you guys a lot of explanation besides I needed to settle minjeong first in the hospital”

“Then move out, stay with us” her friend said

Seungwan contemplated her offer but then joohyun would be so mad and felt uncomfortable if she had to see her everyday at her house and hospital

“I think I better stay near the hospital, in case something happens to Minjeong”

“Oh come on” seulgi frowned “Joohyun is there to look after your daughter, she will call us if anything happens”

“I think it’s better for Seungwan to stay near the hospital” Sooyoung said, her friend had this ‘help me look’ plastered on her face “Or do you want to stay at your old flat? Rather than our house, your flat is much nearer to the hospital”

Seungwan blinked “You guys are still keeping my flat?”

“Of course!” Seulgi said “You didn’t think that we would sell it, did you?”

“Well” seungwan laughed guiltily “You might be blindly mad at me and decided to sell every memory about me”

“I’m not that kind of person” seulgi mocked her “i just get sad everytime i visit the old flat, we made a lot of memories there”

“So unnie, are you going to stay at the flat or not?” Jennie was dying to interrogate the latter but she couldn’t do so with her aunt here

“I guess that’s a better choice, besides I need a quiet place to practice. My old room would be good as it is soundproof already”

Jennie smiled widely “Awesome!” She couldn’t wait to dig up everything

**

Seungwan hurriedly went back to hospital after she received a call from Jisoo, saying that Minjeong had a sudden attack.

“Is she okay?” Seungwan asked worriedly as she saw joohyun walked out from minjeong’s room

“She is in a stable condition now” joohyun wiped her face, she was tired from overnight shift

“That’s a relief” Seungwan about to open the door but joohyun didn’t let her

“Jisoo is giving her an injection, wait until she is done” Joohyun said while examining the older girl’s face “What happened to your cheek? It’s bruised”

Seungwan brought her hand to her bruised cheek and hissed “This is a gift from your aunt”

“She should’ve hit you harder till you can’t talk anymore”

“That’s mean” Seungwan frowned “Do you have something to treat the bruise?”

The younger girl sighed, she really didn’t want to be around Seungwan but she was a doctor in duty “Come with me”

**

“Ouch” Seungwan winced painfully “Can you be more gentle?”

They’re sitting face to face on the couch so Joohyun cou
