The Slytherin nodded as he listened to the professor’s words, all the while cradling the baby and rocking her gently, while making cute faces. It must be hard raising a child, judging by the way Kahi spoke. But it all seemed to be worth it, as Kahi always seemed to be joyous whenever she was with her baby. “It looks like you’re doing a good job, then”, she commented, looking to her with a positive nod. She wished she had a mother like Kahi. Her own mother was controlling and strict, and thus, she never really had a proper childhood. In a way, Nana looked up to the professor as a mother, and though it sounded so cruel, she’d gladly trade her mother for Kahi. Hyejin was a lucky girl. “Of course”, Nana replied, and as she waited for Kahi to come back, the baby began crying. She panicked, and it was seen in her eyes. She began cradling the baby girl a little more, but to no avail. “Gosh I’m so bad at this”, she muttered. Was she really that scary? Perhaps. Sighing, she kept on trying to make the baby happy, all the while waiting for Kahi to come back.

“Let’s hope she does”, she commented, nodding positively. Nana seriously hoped that Hyejin won’t get such a robotic and controlled childhood, unlike her, who was sheltered and pressured into doing things beyond her age. Well, Kahi seemed like a nice woman, and so, she would be wise to have married a man that was as kindhearted as her, so really, Nana didn’t have anything to worry about. She watched the professor play with her daughter, something in her heart spinning in a happy and euphoric daze. It must be nice, having someone to take care of, and call as your own. There would be complications and hardships, yes, but it wouldn’t really matter in the long run, she reckoned. Her eyes widened in the most innocent way as Kahi offered to let her hold the baby. “R-really?”, she asked, a bit confused at how Kahi could trust such a devious and arrogant girl like her. Still, it would be rude to refuse, and she actually did want to hold the baby, and so, she took the baby into her hands, rocking Hyejin lightly. A motherly smile appeared on her face. This must be what motherhood was like. If it was, then there would be another thing she needs to cross off her bucket list.

Nana gave an uncharacteristically bashful chuckle, a thing she always did whenever she felt a bit too emotional. “So I’ve heard”. Honestly, Nana doesn’t really smile, at least, not sincerely. She’d smirk every now and then, but a smile of pure happiness was something she’d never really experienced, and so, having her look so sweet was such a rare occurrence. Nana contemplated a bit on what she should take. It felt a bit awkward and shameless to even ask something from the kind professor, but since she was brave enough to even show Kahi her weak side, then she might as well accept her offer. “I guess some Coke would be nice”, she said, before turning to Kahi’s daughter, Hyejin. She observed the sleeping child as she waited for the professor to get the beverage. “You’re so pretty~”, she cooed, smiling sincerely, and like what I’ve said earlier, it was a rare sight. “I hope you get to enjoy your childhood, unlike me”, she added, a slight bitter tone at hand, before reverting into a dazed but contented look as she observed that cute bundle of perfection that came from Kahi. Soon, the professor had returned with a tall glass of the drink, and she gladly took it, muttering a small “thank you” before gulping in the strong but refreshing drink.
