Ae-cha was surrounded by women who were working on her wedding dress.

The team kept taking her measures, writing them down and asking the bride to be some details on what she wanted.

The girl couldn't focus and told them something simple to end the conversation.

Yongsun returned from Seul after being away for half a week and sat beside the daughter.

_____ What is it? Why are you so impatient?

Sighing, the girl murmured:

_____ I'm freaking out. Is just me or becoming a mother is terrifying?

The older woman smiled and caressed her daughter's face.

____ Of course it's terrifying. There is someone growing inside of you who totally depends on your decisions to survive and stay healthy. And this tiny being one day will have their own life but you will still worry.

____ Thanks, omma...I feel great now.____ Ae-cha faked a soulless voice.

_____ It's also the best thing that will ever happen to you.____ Yongsun declared with emotion.

_____ Why didn't you have more kids then?

The brunette considered the question and replied after a while:

____ You fulfilled my maternal needs well enough. And it was not the style of life for your father and me. I mean...having a big family.

_____ Mom, you never mentioned how you met dad.

_____ Hmm...Actually there isn't much to say. Our families were close and they thought we would be a good match.

____ Our families have been enemies since God knows when. My grandfather and her grandfather, my father and her father. Since there were no men in this generation, they pushed their hate to us.

____ And did both of you simply accept the burden like a domestic task?

Yongsun squeezed her hands with anxiety and tried to control the emotions.

_____ At first we didn't know each other's surnames. So she was the girl who saved my life.

_____ Wait! What?____ Ae-cha widened her eyes.

There was a bittersweet smile on the brunette's face.

____ We were just 16 when we first met.
