SON'S HEIR (MICHAENG) (18+) CONVERTED

CHAPTER 5

Mina's POV

The next morning, my alarm goes off
and I groan, slapping my phone to stop it. When I realize it's not stopping, I get up frustratingly and tap the 'Stop' button and the sound ceases.I drowsily get up, checking the time. It's 8 in the morning.

"F*ck." I say. I walk to the bathroom
slowly and I brush my teeth and
wash my face. I take a shower and get
dressed, then I go to do my hair and
light makeup.

I walk downstairs to eat some cereal,
and I look around noticing the silence,
and I start to wonder where Chaeyoung is.

"Chaeyoung?" I call out. She doesn't answer.

"Chaeyoung? It's eight forty-five, we have to be there by nine!" I yell louder. No answer.

Then I see her walking down the stairs looking into her phone.

"Ready before you? That's surprising." I say.

"It's 'cause I'm not that interested in
coming."

"That's just f*cking rude." I say, anger
starting to surface. "You could've kept
that shit to yourself." I say as I grab a
water out of the fridge, slamming it as I storm out of the house.

"Damn it woman, be gentle with the
damn appliances!"

"F*ck you Chaeyoung."I say loud enough for her to hear.

"Never in a lifetime." She says back.
I groan and roll my eyes.

I get in the car and I wait for Chaeyoung to get in. She gets in the car and starts the drive to the doctor's office.

We arrive ten minutes late, and as soon as we walk in, a nurse comes out.

"Myoui Mina?"

"That's me." I say waving my hand a
little.

We walk back into a room and I sit on
the bed, waiting for a nurse to come
in. I look to Chaeyoung and just seeing her scroll on her phone texting irritates the hell out of me and makes me angry. A young-looking nurse that looks around my age walks in with a beaming smile.

"Hello Ms Myoui, Ms Son,  How are
we doing? Can you tell me anything
you've been feeling lately?"

"I started feeling nauseous a few weeks ago, but it's been getting increasingly Worse. I throw up so much and morning sickness goes throughout the entire day. Other than that I've been having very painful headaches and... I guess if it's important, I've been starting to develop cravings and things."

"Mm.. O..kay." she drags out, jotting
things down. "So right off the top,
morning sickness throughout the day
can sometimes be a normal thing with
some women during pregnancy. How
often do you feel that way?"

"All day, every day." I say.

"Well, I'd say that's common among
most women, but that and headaches
sound like there's stress mixed up in
there. That's not good for baby."

I look to Chaeyoung and she's just scrolling away.

"I have been stressed. I think it's just
about baby and if I'm really doing a
good job." I say lying and telling the
truth at the same time. "I mean, I know it's too early but-"

"It's never too early Ms Myoui. Many
mothers, even when they've just found out worry about being a good mother. We are strong. You are strong. It'll be worse at the end, but the gift is always worth it. You'll find that out soon enough."

"Thank you." I say, tears forming in my eyes for some reason. "I'm sorry." I say giggling and sniffling at the same time. "I just-I needed to hear that." I say.

"It's okay. Everyone just needs a pep
talk to get them through difficult
things." she says with a warm smile.

She continues on and checks my blood pressure, height, weight, basically a whole wellness check to make sure me and the baby are good, and as she's finishing she smiles as she talks to me.

"You're doing so well with the baby.
I just need you to stop stressing so
you and the baby's health will stay
well, and you'l have a healthy baby,
a beautiful delivery, and you'll be a
healthy mama."

"Okay. I'll try." I say with a smile.

"Thank you."

"If you ever need anything, here's my
number."

I take it and I get up with Karter to
leave.

"Same time next month, okay?" she
says.

"Alright Dr Park." I say.

"It's Jihyo."

I give her a small smile before walking out, heading back to Chaeyoung's. While in the car, I look to Chaeyoung, thinking about
saying something, but I forget about it
and look ahead at the road in front of
me.

"What." She asks.

"Huh? Nothing."

"Something. I can practically hear you
thinking and I can't focus."

"When have you ever cared?" I ask.

"Fine. I won't." She says frustrated.

I sit back at look out my window as we sit in silence. It goes on for a minute before I break it.

"Were you listening to anything the
doctor said to me?"

She sits in silence. I clear my throat to
get her out of whatever trance she's in, and she stays silent.

"Damn it." I say to myself as I sit back,
annoyed for the rest of the car ride.
As soon as we arrive at the house, I
step out of the car, shutting the door
and walking to the door. I knock on
the door and wait for someone to
come but nobody does. I bang on the
door a couple times and a few seconds
after Jeongyeon comes to the door. I walk straight past her and walk upstairs.

"What did you do ?" She says.

I walk upstairs and I slam my room
door. I hear Chaeyoung yell.

"Damn it, Mina!"

I take my clothes off and I get in the
shower, the bathroom being conjoined with the room. I walk into the shower and slide the glass door closed and I take a soothing, hot shower. I wash my hair, washing away my thoughts with it, and I lather my body in soap, washing myself off along with the stress of the day.

I get out and put on a silk set of
nightwear, wearing a soft robe on top
of it. Then I head downstairs.
