Chapter 12 - Worsen
Fool Again
Naeun's pov.
As I get back to the practice room. Everyone seems so busy already. Maintaining my straightface, I walked towards the chair where I am sitting earlier.
Bomi unnie is nowhere to be found. I wonder where she goes.
Rong unnie and Eunji unnie were trying to set up the music. It looked like there's an inconvenience as shown in their annoyed expression.
I walked towards them.
"Is there any problem unnies?" I asked casually. They just looked at me and then.
"You cheated." Eunji suddenly exclaimed.
I suddenly get stunned in my place as my heart started beating fast. I tried to avoid her eyes and clenched my fist tightly. As the only thing I'm aware of is the sound of my heart throbbing.
"W-w-what?" I stuttered as I'm wishing for a lighting to strike me at this moment.
"I'm not doing anything." I said as I know that my nervousness is shown in my eyes.
Unexpectedly, they looked at me with a confused look. And if I'm not mistaken, I saw a sly smile for a second in the leader's expression.
"You and Bomi are cheaters!!!" Eunji blunted as she saw Bomi unnie walked towards us.
"We're not." the latter answered cooly.
Wait? How the hell she manage to be so casual? It's her fault anyway!!
I froze when I saw Eunji glaring intensely to Bomi unnie but what Eunji stated broke me into pieces.
"YOU WENT OUT TO ESCAPE FROM CLEANING THE MESS AFTER WE EAT!" she yelled.
Like what the hell!!! I'm nervous for this nonsense?! while Bomi unnie burst into laughter. As I struggled against my irritation to my own reaction, I tried to walk away.
"Yahh. Naeun and I we're not the one scheduled for cleaning today." she pointed our two maknaes Namjoo and Hayoung.
"Those brats are the one scheduled for today but they volunteer to help our manager to buy some snacks for the staffs to escape." Bomi unnie said while still laughing her off.
Gosh! If I could kill her legally. I would definitely do it without hesitation.
I know she's not laughing because of the false accusation but it's because she saw my priceless reaction.
But then, we continued practicing until we all get satisfied with our dancing in sync.
I sat on my chair as the unnies were arranging stuffs as we had finished our practice for today.
After that Bomi unnie walked towards me again. Yah! Why is she sticking with me all day.
She passed me a bottle of water which I immediately drink.
"Someone's guilty." she teased me again.
"It's your fault! You almost kissed me!." I whispered harshly when I realized something.
"Wait. You know she's there? Did you intentionally do it? Really unnie?" I snapped as my edge of irritation returned.
"No. I only saw her when after I whispered to you. There's a mirror behind you that's why." she said and I felt guilty when I saw her gloomy expression.
I scanned the surrounding as I met the leader's eyes. I realized that she's glaring at me.
"What emotion did you see?" I asked Bomi unnie.
"As usual, blank." she answered shortly.
"An opposite of her expression as of now." I said while secretly staring to our leader.
"Is she looking?" as panic immediately took over her. I noticed that she became conscious of her surroundings.
She tried to turn her head to look back to the leader but when I realized that we will get caught that we're talking about her.
My immediate reaction is to hold her chin for her to look at me. And when I realized our position. It's too late.
Bomi unnie gave me a surprised look. My mind suddenly stopped working as we had been stucked with that position.
"Unnies do you want me to push you both to have your kiss?" our maknae suddenly appeared asking us with her voice full of sarcasm.
I immediately distance myself as Bomi unnie is blushing because of shyness to the maknae.
"Yahh you're making everything worst." I harshly whispered to her. But she remain unbothered.
As I looked beyond Bomi unnie, I saw the leader looking down. But when I glanced on the person beside her.
It literally broke my heart.
Eunji unnie is looking at me with those eyes. Those eyes full of disappointment.
Wow. Congratulations to me for turning everything worst than I thought it would be.
Bomi unnie remained dumbfounded and looking beyond me. As I turned around, I realized that behind me is the mirror. Dejavu.
She saw everything. She saw the leader's reaction. And no matter how much she will deny it. I know how it affects her.
"Unnie..." I called her.
"I'm fine. Don't worry." she immediately stood up and walked outside.

3rd person pov.
Apink members end their schedule with an awkward state. As on their way home, they are divided into 2 cars.
First car is composed of Maknae line which are Naeun, Namjoo and Hayoung. The younger ones continue in bickering of small things happened during the practice while Naeun is staring on the road with a blank expression.
Her mind is totally preoccupied with many things. She's asking herself why all of a sudden, everything happened.
The 2nd car composed of the Unnie line stayed quiet as all of them were preoccupied with the same thoughts.
But obviously, Eunji wanted to initiate a conversation only to end up staying quiet after Bomi put an earphones indirectly stating she doesn't want to talk.
Chorong remained focus on the road holding back her tears as she's been through a lot th
