"Is everything ready?" Its d-day already and me and Sakura will be in Japan in a couple of hours from now.

               
"Yeah.. All packed.." I smile at Sakura, she smile back and pat my shoulder.

           
"Dont be too nervous.. I promised you.. And the others I wont leave your side.. So let's do what we planned.." I nod. Its not like I'm nervous, I am finding a way to met her and another person she talked about yesterday.

           
"Can I just take a walk? I wont be too long.. I will be back before we leave.."

              
"Do you want me to come with you?" I shake my head.

         
"I wil be fine Kkura.. I will be back with a milkis.." her eyes sparkle as she crosses her arms.

       
"How many?"

      
"A pack.." She claps her hand as she push me outside, this girl can be fool by milkis and any gaming accessories.

       
"Go and make sure to be back early!" The apartment door closes as my phone ring, there she go.

       
"Where?" I didnt bother to say hello or whatever, I know its her.

       
"We are at xxx xxx already, you should be here by 10.."

          
I hung up, Im tired of hearing her voice and its just stressing me out.

      
At xxx xxx

I enter the place and this is a five star restaurant.. The place was packed with people in their formal attire, I can tell they range from rich people to corrupt politicians.. Btw dont forget to register for the election, a single vote can change a country.

           
"Reservation for?" A staff greet me.

           
'Did she use her name? or my name? I shouldnt have hang up the phone that fast.'

       
"Oh she's with me.." Nancy smile at me as she cling on my arm.

           
"Enjoy your table madam.." The staff bow, I quickly remove her arms and motions her to go.

            
"You are so cold today.." She pat my cheek and smile, as if she didnt push me to the ground.

         
"Loose up a bit will you.." She start to walk as I slowly follow, I heard her giggle before saying.

           
"This might be your last lunch.."

       
'If she's planning to kill me she should already done it yesterday.. She is clearly trying to scare me.' I look at her back as she walk to the staircase that leads to another floor, this time, its just an overlooking few of the outside with a single round table and two chairs near the veranda.

     
"Have a seat Ms. Song.. I will go fetch your accompany.." Nancy smile at me, I didnt bother to reciprocate that smile and just proceed to seat down as she walk towards a door (stream Eunbi's mv😊).

         
"Do you want a wine ma'am?" A waiter smile at me, I shook my head not that I dont trust this restaurant but I cant drink or else Kkura will notice I went somewhere else. He just bow as he took a leave. I just drink from my glass(y) stream Yuri's mv 😊) what I notice is the waiter went to the same door where she entered.

     
'Is this a setup..? What if what they will serve to me will kill me?-'

    
"You are turning pale.." A voice whisper on my back. I compose myself and answer her.

     
"I will be here for 30 mins.. You just wasted your 5 minutes.." I answer, she move away as she laugh.

                 
"Later, you can beg me to extend the time.." She then walk away again but down on the floor.

                
"She will just leave me alone-"

           
"How should I address you..?" A woman sat in front of me, maybe in her 30s.

        
"(Y/n), ma'am.." I look at her and smile.

       
"How old are you (Y/n)?"

         
"I'm on my college day.." I mean, who would say her age to a stranger..? I have to adjust myself first to trust her specially it was Nancy who bought her here.

      
"I see... You know.. You are at the same age as my daughter.." I just nod.

         
'Is she Nancy's mother?'

            
"Your orders please.." The waiter hand me the menu as I quickly browse on it, suddenly I remember, its the same guy who offered me some wine.

        
"What do you want to eat?" She ask me, I just stay quiet for a bit.

                 
"Dont worry about the food.. I will pay it-"

"I'm worried about Nancy... I cant just trust her.."

    
"You have trust issues with her too I see.. But dont worry.. My daughter wont be able to do anything to your food.. I own this restaurant.." She plaster a smile at me. She was Nancy's mother but why is she gentle? She's warm and her gaze have care. Wait, the question should be why is she talking to me right now?

          
"I will just have sweet and sour pork.."

    
"I will have the same.." The waiter nod at us as he take a leave.

      
"So.. I heard a few things about you from Nancy.." She broke the silence.

        
"We are not even that close ma'am.."

             
"I see... But tell me.. You're close with your father..?"

      
"Not that much.." Does she know him?

          
"I heard you just met him almost a year ago.. How is he..?" So she talked to me because she wants info of my dad.. Is she his ex or something?

      
"Do you know my dad? Personally?"

      
"Let's say we were highschool classmates.."

       
"He's doing fine.." Honestly.

     
"I'm glad.." She gave a faint smile before drinking water, the waiter then arrive with our food. We both eat in silence, I glance at my watch and only fifteen minutes are left, she should just go straight to the point on what she will tell me.

          
"I see the you two are on good terms.." Nancy suddenly pop out of nowhere holding a glass of wine.

        
"Didnt you told me you will let us talk?"

        
"Fine fine.. I just came by to look.. As if I will tell her-"

        
"Nancy?! Didnt we talk about this?!"

         
"No.. Didnt we talk about that I will be the one who will be followed here.. So you should shut up old ha-"

           
"Stop it!" I stood up and face Nancy.

            
"Cant you atleast respect her?? She's your mother right?!" Nancy looks down, looks like she is regretting it.

                
"(Y/n)..." Her mother called me but I keep my eyes on Nancy, a few seconds pass she laugh.

             
"Oh god that was a funny joke (Y/n).." She laugh historically while fake wipping her tears, this girl.

            
"That girl.. Is just my step mother.. And she will never be my mom..." Nancy face her back on me.

            
"I will be back after the time.." She then walk away through the door.

               
"I-I'm sorry.." Her eyes are suddenly with tears.

           
"Um.. Here.." I walk tp her and hand her my handkerchief, she thank me as I waited for her to calm down.

              
"What your step daughter said to you was not right.. You should tell it to your husband.." I said, she nod a bit and look at me.

          
"I already told it to him.. But even his father cant control his daughter.. So we just let her-"

      
"Only if you know what is she up to-"

            
"I know she's in contact with your father.. (Y/n)..." She bit her lip.

          
"(Y/n)..." She called me so I look at her.

             
"P-Please tell your father to save me.. Please.." The way she said those in low and terrified tone made me focus on her.

          
"What's wrong?" For sure this was not on Nancy's plan or set up.

              
"I just want to get away from their family.. Please..."

            
"B-But why my father? Why cant you tell the police..?"

           
"Please you dont need to know.. You wont believe me-" She hold my hand and speak.

         
"I wont until I hear it.. Ma'am..-"

        
"Hye Kyo..." It sounds familliar but I cant remember her name.

       
"I'm your biological mother (Y/n)... A-And I cant take it anymore how Nancy treat me..." After she said that I back away as I remember what dad said, I dont have a mother anymore..

          
"I-I-" Just before I speak my phone rang, I saw the name and show it to her.

                     
"I think you will need to talk to him first.." Its not like I dont believe her, I just dont want to be in the middle of them, I know there is something happend that is why they broke up.

              
She slowly nod as I answer the phone putting it on loud speak.

             
"Dear have you pack your things?" I place the phone down on the table as she look at me.

           
"You will leave..?"

           
"I will be staying on Japan.."

          
"Do you have someone with you right now? Perhaps Sakura's friend?"

       
"Um dad.. Im not home..." I motion her to speak.

        
"So who's with you (Y/n)?-"

             
"JongKi..." Silence.

             
"(Y/n).. I told you to not talk to anyone-"

             
"Dad.. If my mother is asking you to save her.. What will you do..?" I cut him straight to the point.

       
"Song (Y/n) dont make me repeat myself-"

        
"I just want to know if she really is my mother.. Please listen to her.. Dad.."

      
"Jong Ki... Please-" She is on verge of crying again.

       
"After you literally left our baby on the road?! After you left me?? So how is the foreigner? Are you tired of him that you will come back to us?? (Y/n) is lucky someone adopted her Hye kyo.. Unlike you, they took care of her.. So.. There is nothing wrong if we will abandon you too right?" Hye Kyo, or should I say my mother look at me in tears, I nod meaning that I will help her.

        
'The famous story of Irene-unnie's mom told me was heard again. Yes I know it already.. And I know they have reasons so I am willing to listen and to accept them as a family again.. I hope dad too..'

       
"Dad.. Could you listen to her? Give her atleast five minutes.." I heard a sigh before he answer again.

        
"Go on.."

      
To keep the story short, mom, arent ready for a baby that is why she keep taking contraceptives but still, I lived. She got depressed and stress because dad's attention never came to her, its like I stole what she cherish. But she's unlucky that the guy he remarried is into collecting illegal things, from guns, bullets, even katanas, she once felt being cut because she didnt follow his order additional to this is his daughter, who also hurt her, and that I will never call a sister.

         
"I'm sorry JongKi... I'm sorry.." She cried while I pat her back, dad didnt answer and hung up.

       
"I-I guess your dad wont forgive me.." I stare at my phone and waited.

      
"He wont hung up like that without telling what he decided on.."

      
"Y-You're right..." We waited for another minute then the phone rang, dad wants a video call, I answer it.

       
"Listen to me... This is the last time Hye Kyo.. For our family..." Dad's eyes are clearly red, he must have cried too, I just cant help but to hug her, she's been through a lot too. After dad told us her plan, he bid a goodbye to us. Sadly I still have to go to Japan first.

          
"Dear.." She whispers something on me making me realize, everytging pointed on someone we didnt know is the real reason so our plan A wont be useful.. Nancy have something on her sleeve.

       
"You believe in us right..? Mom..?" To call someone mother, the real and biological, we have the same blood.

   
"Of course dear.. I will wait.." After another hug I walk back to my seat and compose myself like nothing happen.

          
"I see that you two are done..." Nancy came back, mom stood up and look at me.

        
"We wont see each other again.." She look at me and grip my handkerchief. This act must be successful.

         
"O-Okay..?" Nancy just look at mom walking away.

          
"So.. What's the purpose of me meeting your step mother?" I wipe my lips with the tissue on the table.

     
"Well, nothing actually.." She smile as she walk towards me, it my time to stand up and look at her.

        
"You are getting ready.. Should I too?"

     
"I will arrive at three pm on the airport.."

        
"I will see you then.." Nancy touch my cheek but I move away.

               
"I have to go to my flight.. Excuse me.." I walk away from the restaurant and when I'm away I tap the earphone on my right ear which is hidden because of my hair.

                     
"You guys heard that?"

        
"Loud and clear.." A voice answer.

          
"Dont worry, she already develop the plan B.. Just go with what she want.." Another voice answer.

          
"I wont tell anything to Kkura and the others.. The lesser who know, the better.."

          
"Roger that.."

      
"Wait.."

      
"Hmm?"

     
"Take care (Y/n)..."

       
"You too Nayeon.."
  
          
"Plan B.. Please work.."
       
         
      
       
          
            
        
                
                   
                   
[Miss me? 😊]
