NPCs: Hyuna Song
Jae emailed or called her mother regularly, and so it only made sense that her mother knew something was wrong. While Hyuna wanted to have faith her daughter was distracted with school and making friends, and more importantly learning what she was sent there for, it wasn't like Jae to just stop communication. When Jae called a couple of days before, she seemed distant and not wishing to talk about her absence. Hyuna, like any worried mother, didn't like the sudden aloofness and concluded that she would visit her daughter. While she ventured into other parts of Asia in her much younger days, Hyuna hadn't left the Korean peninsula since Jae's birth. This was her first time leaving, and her first time going somewhere across an ocean. She felt an anxiety on the plane, which the flight attendants mistook for flying jitters, and were kind to Hyuna the entire flight. Once she landed in New York, she felt a little better, but only because she knew she would see her daughter soon. Much like her daughter, Hyuna was much older than she looked. To anyone, Hyuna would've appeared more like an older sister to Jae, certainly not her mother. She shared many of the same physical features as Jae. The dark hair, the delicate features, and something a little fox-like about her, though she blended in far easier. She wore a fashionable dress that accentuated her figure, and heels that gave her three more inches of height. Hyuna was a vision of beauty in her own right, a trait her daughter also inherited. Unlike Jae, Hyuna had all nine tails and in about fifteen years, she would be a thousand years old, but in less than ten years, she would be human at last. Hyuna touched the engagement ring on her finger, her fingers caressing over the platinum and then stroking the diamond there. The ring meant more to her than just her impending marriage, likely to happen during the summer when Jae would return to Korea to visit, but her chance at peace at last. When she met Jae's father, she thought she found someone to spend her life with. How wrong she'd been. How swiftly he'd wished to expose her to the others. He met a grizzly end, but out of it came something wonderful. She had her daughter, Jae. Jae who she knew was certainly old enough to take care of herself, but still struggled in many ways. Hyuna worried that she created this dependency in her daughter, but such a bond between a mother kumiho and her daughter was common. "Umma?" a familiar voice asked and Hyuna turned to see Jae standing there, looking surprised, but a smile quickly appearing on her face. Hyuna said nothing, but instead opened her arms. Jae rushed forward, tackling her mother into a hug. She'd been vague about what kept her away from contacting her mother, only because Jae didn't want her to worry. However, it appeared her mother saw right through it. Jae wasn't complaining though. Her mother was her closest confidant and she trusted her explicitly with a lot. She should have known that her mother wouldn't let it go, and at some point in this visit, her mother would try (and probably succeed) in finding out what happened to her. Jae was just happy she was there. Despite the development of her friendship with Kana and a couple others, she'd felt homesick more so after being kidnapped than she had before. Her mother smelled of home. Of everything familiar and wonderful. It made the homesickness worse in that way. Jae held her mother for a full minute before she released her. "What are you doing here?" Jae asked in Korean. Hyuna brushed some of her daughters hair behind her ear, "I came to check on you. You worried me. And now I find you here perfectly fine." "Umma," Jae frowned but then hugged her again, "I'm so glad you're here. I've missed you so much." Hyuna let her daughter hug her again, and then stood straight. "Well, are you going to show me around?" Hyuna asked, deciding not to pluck the information from her daughter just yet. They would get around to that soon. Maybe later tonight when she took her into town for dinner. Hyuna hoped to meet some of the people her daughter mentioned: Kana, Ollie, and Vixey in particular. She wasn't sure who were friends, and who were not, but she was curious about them enough. Especially since her daughter mentioned them specifically by name. "How long are you going to be here for?" Jae asked releasing her mother again and then remembering she was in public where people might see, and she needed to show more respect to her mother. Hyuna said, "I leave tomorrow afternoon." Jae's emotions betrayed her as her face showed her disappointment for how brief the visit would be. "We'll spend all day today together, and then tomorrow until I have to go," Hyuna informed, "I am staying at the in at Camden Wharf, so I'll be nearby." Jae nodded, telling herself that a brief visit was better than nothing at all. "Come, umma," Jae said, taking her mother's arm gently, "I'll show you around and then introduce you to my teachers." |
