Chapter 24
Hate you, Love you.Mina closed the door, carefully not to wake the girl who was sleeping soundly inside the room.
"How is she?"
Mina jumped from the sudden voice of the girl behind her. It took her few seconds to get her breath back to normal.
"You scared me, Seol"
"Sorry, but I'm worried. How is she?"
Mina watched Seolhyun who kept fidgeting her fingers and her expression looked tired and her eyes were a bit red.
"She's fine. She is sleeping now. Don't have to worry too much" Mina rubbed Seolhyun's back but that didn't convince the girl. So she continued.
"Maybe she is tired. I was being informed by Mr. Shin's butler that Hyejeong came home late lastnight then got out again this early morning. She might not get much sleep, that's why she was unconsious just now. She is weak. But I know she is indeed a strong girl, so she'll recover quick"
Seolhyun squeezed her eyes tightly and bit her bottom lip. She tried to be strong too, she tried not to cry. Mina said Hyejeong was fine, so she was fine.
20 minutes ago, Seolhyun was talking to herself whether to text Mina or not about meeting Hyejeong when Mina shouted her name from the living room. She sprinted out from the room and her heart scattered into pieces seeing Hyejeong fainted and her head rested on Mina's thigh.
*ring*
"It's Yuna. I have to answer this. Just go inside if you want to meet her"
Seolhyun was about to protest but Mina lifted her finger.
"Don't be stubborn. Enough with Hyejeong's stubborn I have to face. Go"
With that, Mina walked to the balcony to answer the phone call.
Seolhyun took a deep breath before reaching the doorknob. She pulled it down and opened the door slowly. She popped her head inside and saw Hyejeong was lying on the bed with her back facing the door. Seolhyun stepped in the room and closed the door carefully.
She remained near the door and kept playing with the hem of her sweater with her head hung low. It was as if she was having a thought to approach Hyejeong or not.
But why she was hesitated?
"Seolhyun..."
Upon hearing her name being called, she lifted her head almost immediately. Hyejeong was still in her position and still sleeping. She was sleep-talking.
"Don't leave me..."
Seolhyun covered with her hand as she walked closer to the sleeping girl. Tears already fooling her eyes which made her vision blurry. She blinked one time and the tears fell down freely. She wiped the tears and sat next to Hyejeong on the edge of the bed.
"I'm not leaving you" Seolhyun said in audible whisper.
Seolhyun watched as Hyejeong was shivering while curled into ball. She placed her hand on Hyejeong's body and slowly the girl calmed down.
"All the time we're together, you had suffered enough just to protect me. And now, it is my time to do that to you. I want to protect you with all energy I have. But you need to be strong too. We need to be strong to fight them. Whatever their reason, I promise, I'll make them regret for everything. I love you"
She placed a kiss on Hyejeong's forehead and gave a gentle on her hair. She stared at the beautiful face for a moment.
*buzz*
The moment was interrupted by her phone buzzed, indicating that she had a new message. She fished her phone from her jean pocket and read through the message.
Frown could be seen on her brows. She read the message multiple times to make sure she read it correctly.
From: Unknown.

*address stated*
Meanwhile, at the same time with Mina.
"Hello, baby" Mina answered the call as she leaned her body on the rail.
Yuna: "Hey honey. How are you?"
"Good. How are you?"
Yuna: "Fine. Just miss you"
Mina chuckled "I miss you too princess"
Cute chuckle could be heard on the other line.
Yuna: "Honey..."
Yuna's voice turned to serious and Mina knew by now there must be something.
"What is it?"
Yuna sounded hesitated at first.
Yuna: "I detected Hyeri's location on her phone. I suggest this is where she's hiding now"
"You did?" Mina said in shock.
Yuna: "Yeah. I was bored and was trying to help you and Seolhyun and of cource Hyejeong too. So do you want me to tell you her location? Maybe this can help"
"Of cource! Tell me baby, it will surely help"
Yuna: "Okay. I'll send to you the address later"
"Okay" Mina looked inside and saw no Seolhyun. She smiled at the thought of Seolhyun came in to see Hyejeong.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I can't talk longer, I have to go now. Hyejeong is here"
Yuna: "It's okay honey. Go help them and make sure they are safe okay? And take care yourself for me"
"Okay baby. I will. Thank you for your understanding. Bye. I love you"
With that, the call ended with Yuna replied 'I love you too' back to Mina. She was glad to have an understanding girlfriend like Yuna and couldn't imagine how her life without the older girl.
Mina walked back to the living room after got the address from her girlfriend. She rushed to the room where Hyejeong was staying. As she opened the door, she saw Seolhyun already stood near the bed with her hand clutched tightly on her iphone she was holding and her eyes glued on it.
"Seol. What's wrong?"
"I got a message"
"What message?"
Seolhyun gave the phone to Mina and Mina looked through it. She frowned as soon as her gaze was on the address. She looked at the address Yuna sent to her then back to Seolhyun's phone. It was same, same address.
Their eyes met and no words needed for them to know what in each other's mind.
Mina quickly dialed a number while Seolhyun sat back on the bed with her hands held Hyejeong's hand and put her lips on it.
"Ilhoon, prepare your team. We found Eunji. Meet us at usual place"
Mina turned around only to see Seolhyun kissed Hyejeong's hand. She sighed and came closer and put her hand on Seolhyun's shoulder. She knew Seolhyun didn't want to leave Hyejeong alone but they had work to get done.
