Chapter Index

    Quite a long time has passed.

    Both Arin and Eunha were discharged from the hospital.

    However, Minah could not be discharged from the hospital.

    It had to be that way.

    Minah was declared to be in a vegetative state.

    It is true that an average vegetable person is not even conscious.

    But Mina’s case was different.

    I was conscious.

    The problem is that even when Minah is awake, she cannot control her body.

    I can barely move my eyelids.

    Nothing else could move.

    Legs too.

    eight provinces of Korea.

    Head too.

    Even the pupils.

    Being mentally sound but not being able to move any part of my body felt like torture that lasted forever.

    ‘We have to move quickly…and convince…dad.’

    A plan to make Dad her own man.

    The plan failed utterly.

    As smart as he was, he was able to do as he pleased with others.

    That’s how Minah became arrogant.

    The end of that arrogance was catastrophe.

    In an attempt to stop his father, he intentionally caused an accident and ended up damaging his entire body.

    Eunha’s car hit her father’s car, which was driving at high speed, and caused an accident.

    It was a truly dangerous idea.

    However, Minah was confident that there would be no problem and put into action.

    In the end, it ended with Eunha’s car and her body being irreparably damaged.

    Her father’s child was the most precious to Minah.

    The child was miscarried due to the shock of a car accident.

    Minah lost everything because of her arrogance.

    dad.

    Dad’s child.

    And your own body.

    All she could do now was the narrow world seen through her motionless eyes.

    ‘please…!! Please move!!’

    Minah tried to move her body hundreds of times a day.

    But the effort was futile.

    The spine is the steering wheel that controls the body.

    However, Mina’s spine was broken into several pieces.

    No matter how well the software works, it is in vain if the hardware is not in place.

    Minah’s body was like that.

    The software mind was fine, but the hardware body was irreparably broken.

    There was no way I could move even if I tried.

    ‘Ahh…Aaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!’

    When Minah reached the limit of her patience, she screamed.

    Of course, I couldn’t actually scream because I couldn’t control my mouth.

    Even if I tried like crazy, nothing came back.

    It just resonates in Mina’s heart.

    [Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep]

    The sounds of hospital machines.

    The appearance of nurses coming into view.

    Minah feels that she is alive.

    That’s why he couldn’t believe that he couldn’t use his body even more.

    ‘I can hear and see so well…’

    However, there was no longer any such thing as [movement] in the life given to Minah.

    The spine he broke with his own hands never regenerated.

    Her future life became a life of complete dependence on others.

    ‘Oh…no…this can’t be…this can’t be…’

    Minah has always planned and moved everything herself.

    Therefore, when I imagined a life like this where I was unable to do anything and depended on others, a crazy feeling rose up.

    ‘Aaaah!!! Aaaa!!!!!!!’

    Situations like this happened every day.

    Minah woke up and tried to move her body for about 6 hours.

    And the next four hours were spent screaming, never being heard by others.

    And…dinner.

    “Daughter…Dad is here.”

    The hardest time was when I saw my dad right in front of me.

    Eunhyuk visited his daughter every day.

    Eunhyuk hated his daughter.

    Feeling betrayed.

    He couldn’t help but be very disappointed that Minah tried to chase away the woman he loved.

    However, Minah is Eunhyuk’s beloved daughter.

    Although they were not related by blood, Eunhyuk recognized Minah as his child and loved her with all his heart.

    No matter how wrong a child is, a child is still a child.

    It is the duty of parents to love even their mistakes.

    Eunhyuk decided to forgive Minah.

    I had no choice but to forgive.

    Because that is the heart of a parent with a child.

    Eunhyuk looked at Mina with sad eyes.

    Minah looked at it with unmoving eyes and felt like her heart was breaking.

    I wanted to hug my dad.

    I wanted to call my dad.

    ‘dad…! ‘Daddy!!’

    But no matter how many times Mina called Eunhyuk, the words would not come out of her mouth.

    My eyelids are about to close.

    Mina didn’t want to close her eyelids.

    This was because it took too long to close and open the eyelids.

    ‘I want to see my dad… just a little more…’

    My eyes became dry.

    I felt pain burning my eyes.

    It was the only sense of pain left to Minah, who had lost most of her senses.

    ‘Dad…dad…dad…’

    Her eyes, unable to reach the tears, became dry.

    ‘Ah…uh…’

    Eyes that seem to be burning.

    The reality is that you can’t hug your father even though you are in front of him.

    It hurt.

    There was a loss of sensation throughout my body, but my whole body was in pain right now.

    Constant pain gripped Minah as if she were suffering from body ailment.

    ‘Dad… Dad… I’m sorry… I’m really… sorry… I wasn’t good at it…’

    There was no use in regretting.

    There was no point in asking for forgiveness.

    It’s all too late.

    Because of his foolish actions, he became unable to hug his father forever.

    I could no longer feel my father physically.

    ‘I’m…I’m…I’m…I’m…so…sorry…so please…please…just this once…’

    hell.

    This place was hell.

    The hell Mina created.

    An endless hell with endless pain.

    Right there, Minah was constantly struggling in pain.

    ****

    “Hey…senior……”

    “What a senior, you are the one who will become my husband now.”

    Arin was wearing a wedding dress.

    A pure white wedding dress that covers the entire body.

    The lace that went up to her chest was as white and pure as Arin’s heart.

    But now Arin looked anxious.

    It was none other than Mina.

    “You brought Mina to the wedding?”

    It was my decision.

    Fortunately, it was a decision that Mina was able to make because she was able to breathe on her own.

    This is my daughter.

    Showing her father’s wedding to her was a courtesy to her.

    However, Arin was openly expressing the opposite opinion.

    “Minah… It hasn’t even been that long since I was discharged from the hospital… I’m worried that I might be pushing myself too hard. ”

    “It’s gotten a lot better. You don’t have to rely on a ventilator.”

    It was a miracle.

    It was Minah, who had been judged to never be able to breathe on her own.

    But a few days ago, he miraculously started breathing on his own.

    Arin and I decided to bring Mina home.

    It was Arin’s strong will that she could not leave her family in the hospital forever.

    That’s why I thought Arin would be happy about bringing Minah to the wedding.

    But this kind of reaction… was unexpected.

    I really wanted to have Mina attend the wedding.

    Because I wanted to show it to Mina.

    The family I wanted.

    The birth of a sane family.

    This is the opportunity to finally formally introduce Minah, who grew up under a single father, to her mother.

    This is because it is a place to guide Minah to her caring mother who will take care of her for the rest of her life.

    Of course, I know that Minah hated Arin.

    It was the result of his distorted affection for me.

    But I forgave Mina.

    If Minah was conscious, she would know what she did wrong.

    He must have reflected and changed his mind.

    That’s what a good daughter I know looks like.

    So I had no doubt that he would congratulate me.

    Minah had to come to the wedding because she wanted to congratulate her daughter.

    “You can’t leave out your family at this happy party celebrating the birth of a new family member.”

    Arin’s shoulders tremble slightly.

    It was a look of concern about something.

    “…Why are you so worried?”

    “No…I’m not worried. Just……”

    Arin bit her lip tightly.

    And my body stopped shaking.

    “Now that I think about it, I think you’re right.”

    Arin seemed to have something in mind.

    He must be upset that Minah disliked him.

    But I decided not to talk about it.

    Arin seemed to have decided to ask her heart about that.

    The slightly dark expression also returned to normal.

    Even though Arin got older, she was still beautiful.

    The unspoiled purity that radiates from her.

    Those eyes that say you love me.

    They made Arin shine even more.

    “Senior.”

    “…I call you senior…”

    “Please call me senior this time. Because it’s my brother’s nickname that I’ve been calling him for decades.”

    It wasn’t a bad reason.

    “Senior. thank you. If it wasn’t for my senior, I wouldn’t have been this happy.”

    Arin hugged me.

    And immediately pressed it to his lips.

    Deep kiss.

    I liked the feel of the sticky lip gloss on her lips.

    “I love you, senior. The love I received from my senior. From now on, I will live my life by giving to my seniors…and my two daughters.”

    My heart rang.

    The heartfelt words began to water my eyes.

    “I love you…Arin…I’ll make you happy for the rest of your life.”

    “I love you…senior…thank you…senior……”

    It rattled.

    I heard something crashing behind me, but I ignored it.

    I wanted to enjoy it now.

    The love Arin gives.

    Because it was so sweet.

    This is because I wanted to focus all my attention on savoring the taste.
