Broken

21

Sana had been down, her parents were not used to seeing their ball of sunshine and rainbows like that, sure, the girl had some bumps during her life, but nothing that ever lasted more than a day or two, this had been going on for weeks now. They were worried. So, mrs Minatozaki decided it was time to talk to her daughter and put an end to that.

"Sacchan, can I come in?"

"Of course you can, mom. Is something wrong?"

"I'm the one who should be asking that. You look really down lately, want to talk about it?"

"I think so? It's not really that bad."

"Sure it is, you have never been sad for so long."

"But I'm not do-" Sana stops herself at the look on her mother's face. "Okay, so there is this girl that doesn't get out of my mind."

"Sana, you already told us you are dating Jeongyeon." Mrs Minatozaki chuckles.

"Not Jeong, mom." Sana slips.

"Oh, now you have to tell me. Let's get to the couch, I'm getting hot chocolate and you get dad, he's in his office."

"Do we have to talk about this?"

"We are having this conversation and you are getting dad, now move." Mrs Minatozaki declares and walks out of the room.

Sana knew there was no use arguing with her mother when she decided something, so she just goes to call her father and get both to the living room couch and tell them everything before mrs Minatozaki starts one of her 'this family supports each other' speeches, those could last for hours, and she wanted to see Jeongyeon today.

"Okay, does everyone has their chocolate?" Mrs Minatozaki asks, settling herself beside her daughter, and motioning for her husband to sit on the other side.

"Yes ma'am." Mr Minatozaki says. "Now, let's listen to what Sacchan has to say."

"Okay, so I was telling mom there is this girl that I can't get out of my head."

"But we already know Jeongyeon. Is she coming over today, by the way?" Mr Minatozaki was indeed his wife's soulmate.

"Not Jeong, dad. And I don't know, I'll ask her later."

"Oh, tell her to come over, it's been too long since we last saw her." Mr Minatozaki continues.

"I'll ask her about it, but she came by two days ago. Anyways, as I was saying, there is another girl that I can't stop thinking about."

"Sacchan, you are saying you are cheating on Jeongyeonnie?" Mrs Minatozaki managed her best mocking tone yet.

"No, mom. And Jeongyeonnie feels the same way about this girl too."

"So, tell us about this girl." Mr Minatozaki encourages his daughter.

"Well, her name is Jihyo. Im Jihyo, and we met her a few months ago, more like I fell on her a few months ago."

"What do you mean, sweetie?" Mrs Minatozaki gets curious.

"Remember when I told you about how I met Jeongyeon?" Sana asks and her parents just nod. "She was the other girl that saved me as well. When I was falling, she was the one at the foot of the stairs, Jeong came to help, but I was about to fall on her that day."

"Oh, so this Jihyo is the 'pretty girl you almost broke her leg'?" Mr Minatozaki remembers.

"Yes, that's her. I feel something different about her, something like I feel about Jeong. I don't know how to explain it, and Jeongyeonnie said she feels it too. And we tried to get closer to her, but her friends are too overprotective."
