Chapter 21
Fix YouMrs. Jung was waiting for her husband and granddaughter to arrive from work and she couldn't focus with the program being shown on the television. She really has no idea why, but ever since she and her husband came back from the business trip (again, for her, it was a shopping trip), she would still think about her granddaughter. She wasn't sure why kept thinking about her.
"Was it because I missed her so much and we weren't together for a couple of days?" Her forehead was creased as she looked at the floor to think.
"Did s- no, no. I don't think so." She stayed silent again for a few seconds before she sighed. "I must be really getting old."
She finally glued her eyes on the screen and it didn't take long until her husband and Jessica arrived. They both greeted her and was kissed by her granddaughter on her cheek.
"Let's eat. I'm hungry." Mr. Jung headed to the dining table right after greeting his wife. Mrs. Jung switched the television off and followed them to the table. As she sat down, she looked at her granddaughter and it seemed like she noticed it.
"Halmeoni, is there something on my face?"
"What?" She smiled as she shook her head. "No, dear. There's nothing. I just missed that face of yours."
It was one of those nights that her grandfather would tell a funny story at the dinner table and sometimes, only her grandfather would laugh and her grandmother would either say side comments or she'll laugh along. As for Jessica, her grandparents found it normal for her to not change her facial expression or she would just show a weak smile.
This time, it was different. It was the first time that they saw their granddaughter laugh after 14 years, during the last time they saw each other before the accident. They looked at the lady who was laughing with her grandfather's funny story before looking at each other. Her grandfather was really surprised that he had to blink.
"Is she really laughing?" He mouthed to her wife.
The old lady only moved her eyebrows upward to answer her husband while her eyes were also widened in surprise.
When Jessica finished having a laugh, she looked at her grandparents who were looking at her. "Is there anything on my face?" Again, she asked the same question that she did a few moments ago to her grandmother.
They both shook their head, but her grandmother had a smile on her face. "We just haven't seen you laugh for such a long time, sweetie. We're just happy."
