'Tears are a river that takes you somewhere
Tears lifts your boat off the ground,
carrying it downriver to someplace better'
_Clarissa Pikola Estes
"Finally, you are awake let's go! My mom already called and said she's picking up Seoyun and Jenny". Yoona said.
"What's the time?"
"Eight, and our flight is by nine".
"Fuck! Why are you just waking me!" Minju jumped out of bed running inside the bathroom.
"Well let's just say.. I tried my best but somebody really enjoys their sleep and refused to get up".
Minju rushed out of the bathroom to her walk in closet quickly wearing her black skinny jeans, yellow tank top, bomber jacket and black ankle boots, styling her hair in messy tight fishtail brand with razored side bang.
"I'm ready, let's go!" Minju got up excitedly dragging Yoona with her out of the room.
They entered the dinning room and greeted everyone before sitting down. The maids immediately served their foods to them.
"How is your dad company?" Mr Lee finally closed his newspaper, staring at Yoona as he asked.
"Umm.. The company's doing great". Yoona replied awkwardly not knowing where the conversation is going.
"I heard your Phobe is going with you guys".
"Yes Mr Lee".
"What a waste of time? If I was Hangul I won't allow her go, there are more important things to do". Mr Lee said with disgust before drinking his coffee. Minju couldn't sit there hearing his rubbish, she angrily snotted loudly.
"Do you have a freaking problem with people caring for their family? What the heck is your fucking problem? No everyone is a heartless monster like you!" Minju exploded.
"Angela! Language" Aurora yelled at her.
"Not now mom, I'm sick and tired of all this! Why talk about Phoebe and Hangul like that! In fact they are better than you a hundred times, have you ever asked mom what she ever wanted to do? I'm so excited I won't get to see your annoying self, for a matter of fact YOU ARE A COLD HEARTED MONSTER, you are not a father or a good husband", she angrily stood up and left. Yoona quickly ran after her.
"She forgot to add one more thing.... You don't own us, we are not like mom!" Minjun got up, stopped before his mom looking at her with sympathy and left angrily too.
"You can't even do a simple task of raising the children up properly, you are useless!" Mr Lee yelled at Aurora before getting up and leaving angrily. Aurora broke down crying bitterly, she never thought her life would turn out this way, what wrong did she do in her past life to be punished like this. Peñalolén quickly rushed to her and hugged her tightly, only she knew the whole story and could understand her. She could clearly remember how things used to be before they got married.
***FLASHBACK 19 YEARS AGO ****
A young girl with long curly platinum blond hair packed in a ponytail was painting with headset on her head humming happily without a care, she looked so beautiful and with the sun shining from the window, her soft milkish very fair skin almost white was illuminating making her look like an angel. A boy with dark purple hair quietly entered the room and smiled brightly seeing her before tiptoeing near her, he took a chair and sat near her watching as she hummed happily and painted. The girl finished painting and turned to her side surprised to see the boy staring at her lovingly.
"Hey you! What are you doing here?". She asked surprised.
"I came here to get my girlfriend for a date". He said and kissed her on the lips. The girl blushed, "What if she says no?"
"Then... I will do this". Lee got up and started tickling her, she laughed with tears coming out of her eyes, "OK... You win", she laughed. He stopped ticking her and pulled her to sit on his lap. He caressed her face lovingly cupping it in his hands, "I love you so much, Aurora, I won't hesitate to die for you".
The girl quickly used her hands to cover his mouth, "Don't ever say that kind of thing, I love you so much too and I would rather die with you than to live without you, King, you mean the whole world to me and I'm so happy to have the most handsome man for myself".
The man held her closer to him and kissed her passionately, before breaking the kiss, "Tomorrow is our anniversary and I have a huge surprise for you, dress up nice".
"What the surprise?"
"You have to wait for tomorrow". The girl pouted hearing this and he laughed before kissing he passionately again.
****FLASHBACK ENDS*****
------------------
"Finally you guys are here!" Seoyun said as the three walked towards them.
"What took you bitches so long?" Jenny asked.
"Not important". Minju mumbled as she walked inside the plane followed by Minjun.
"What the heck is wrong with them?" Seoyun asked surprised.
"Don't ask and stay clear from them for now, they are not in a good mood I'll tell you guys in the plane". Yoona said, they both nodded and entered the plane with her.
"Hi darling, are you excited to go to Greece". Phoebe perked Yoona.
"Hi mom, yes I can't wait". Yoona said excitedly.
During the ride, Yoona sat with Minjun, Seoyun with Jenny and Minju sat alone.
"So.... Is it your first time going to Greece?" Yoona asked trying to make a conversation after sitting quietly for a long time".
"Yes". Minjun answered not taking his eyes off his book.
"Okay... What are you reading?"
"You will pay by Lisa Jackson".
"Are you a fan of Lisa Jackson?".
"Um".
"I'm also a fan too, have you read 'hot blooded'?"
"Um". Minjun said and wore his headset.
"Okay....I'll stop talking". Yoona said before taking her phone and reading a story on webnovel.
Two hours later, Minjun closed his book book and looked at Yoona who was already asleep, "her neck is gonna hurt if she stays like that", he thought to himself, he carefully rested her head on his shoulder smiling as she snuggled closer to him sleeping soundly.
"So burdensome.....and cute". He said as he watched her sleep peacefully.
