Chapter 89

A few days had passed since their last day of promotion, and the girls finally had a well-deserved day off. While Minha went to the Hybe medical center for her monthly checkup, Kazuha spent the day with Minha's mother, Sohee. Together, they immersed themselves in the joy of gardening at Sohee's newly bought house.

Minha had always known that her mother loved watching sunsets and tending to plants, but living in an apartment had limited Sohee's ability to pursue her passions. Determined to provide her mother with a fulfilling environment, Minha had purchased a beautiful house where Sohee could indulge in her love for gardening and spend her days surrounded by nature.

With Kazuha's assistance, Sohee completed her little gardening project, planting new flowers in the vibrant soil. The sun cast a warm glow over the garden, illuminating their faces with a sense of contentment.

"Thank you for helping me, Zuha," Sohee expressed her gratitude, her eyes filled with appreciation for the young girl who had been a wonderful companion throughout the day.

Kazuha smiled warmly, her heart filled with affection for Sohee. Their relationship had grown close over time, and Sohee had graciously invited Kazuha to call her "mom." It was a gesture that touched Kazuha deeply, making her feel like a part of their family. "It's a small matter, mom. Let me know if you need any more help," Kazuha replied, her voice filled with sincerity.

As they finished their gardening session, the two of them sat on the porch, enjoying the gentle breeze that rustled through the leaves. Sohee's face lit up with joy as she looked at the newly planted flowers, a sense of fulfillment radiating from her. "I can't thank Minha enough, for this beautiful house and for giving me the opportunity to pursue my love for gardening," Sohee expressed, her voice filled with emotion.

Kazuha smiled, feeling a deep sense of fulfillment in being able to contribute to their happiness. The bond between the three of them was a testament to the love and support they shared as a family. The porch became a place of solace and togetherness, where they could create beautiful memories and cherish each other's company.

Sohee leaned back on the bench, her gaze fixed on the sky above. A serene smile graced her face, reflecting the happiness she felt in that moment.

Kazuha joined her, looking up at the sky and enjoying the gentle breeze that rustled through the trees. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of calm and tranquility.

"You know, it hasn't always been easy for Minha to open up, right?" Sohee began, her voice tinged with a hint of nostalgia.

Kazuha was taken aback by the sudden topic, her brows furrowing in confusion.

"I know she sometimes shares her worries with you. She has come a long way since she was young. I'm sorry that you had to witness that side of her, all because of what happened in the past," Sohee continued, her voice filled with a mix of regret and concern.

Kazuha's eyes widened, her heart sinking at Sohee's words. "No, mom. Please don't say that," Kazuha pleaded, her voice filled with genuine affection and love. "Yes, unnie still finds it difficult to open up about certain things, but she has grown so much. And you don't have to apologize for anything. In fact, it's because of what happened in the past that has shaped Minha unnie into the incredible person she is today. Life experiences have molded us into who we are. No matter how difficult it was, unnie is doing so well now. And I am grateful to be with someone as amazing as her," Kazuha expressed, her voice filled with sincerity and conviction.

Sohee turned to Kazuha, her eyes searching for understanding. "Has she mentioned anything about me lately?" Sohee asked, her voice filled with a mixture of hope and sadness.
