Chungha POV

I sat on my bed staring at my phone waiting patiently for my girlfriend to text me. We ahven't seen each other for almost three weeks now because our schedules are always conflicting. We've been practicing really hard for our comeback as a 7, while Sejeongie have been practicing hard with Gugudan. I would be lying if I say I wasn't jealous. She spends 24/7 with 8 other girls, well technically 6 because Mian and Nayoung are just her best friends.

"CHUNGHA UNNIE!"

I rolled my eyes and sighed as I heard Somi calling me, once again. I got off my bed and threw my phone to the side and went to see what the maknae wants now. Passing by the living roomI see Doyeon and Yoojung cuddling together while taking a nap. I walked over to the kitchen to see Somi trying to make some dinner, while Nayoung is on the side shaking her head.

"Yes Chungha unnie! Sae me! Nayoung unnie is being mean!" Somi whined and clung onto my arm.

"Yah! I wouldn't be so mean if you did what I told you!" Nayoung shook her head.

"What are you guys doing...?" I asked while looking around to see the kitchen in a mess.

"You teach Somi to cook, I am out of here!" Nayoung stomped towards our room. 

"Why do I have to learn how to cook? My husband will just cook for me." Somi whined.

"Yah Jeon Somi, who would want to marry you?" Kyeolkyun came in and laughed.

Somi just glared at her while I shook my head and started cleaning up a bit. I noticed that there was a burned egg, I really wanted to ask what happened, but at the same time I didn't want to know. Due to Somi and Kyeolkyung bickering, the dodaeng couple woke up and groggily walked towards the kichen. I told them to start setting up the table, while I attempt to save our dinner. Suddenly I heard my phone ringing, dropping everything I ran straight to my bed trying to find my phone, hoping it's Sejeong calling. To my disappointment it was Mina that was calling. I tried not to show the disappointment because I also missed Mina too.

"Hey Mina!" I answered.

"Chungha unnie! Long time no talk! I've missed you so much!"

"We talked 3 days ago..." I said.

"That's way too long! Are the others around?"

"Yeah except for Sohye, she's at her company right now. What's up?"

"Oh nothing, just calling to say hi."

"Are you done with practice?" I asked, trying to find the right time to ask about Sejeong.

"Finished about an hour ago, i'm just sitting on my bed relaxing now."

They finished practice an hour ago? Then why hasn't Sejeong called or texted me yet...She promised she would...

"Where's Sejeongie?" I finally asked.

"Wow took you long enough!" Mina laughed, "I wish I can give the phone to her, but she's back at the practice room."

"Really? Alone?"

"Nope, she's practicing with Hana unnie. Sejeong unnie is having some trouble with the dance moves so Hana unnie is helping her. She dances really well, almost as good as you!" 

"Oh really?" I asked trying not to sound jealous at all.

"Chungha unnie, as much as I love talking to you, can I talk to someone else? I missed the others too." Mina asked nicely.

"Sure."

I walked back out to see everyone gathering at the dinner table. I put my phone on speaker and told the others it's Mina. They all greeted happily and were talking about whatever. I wasn't paying attention because I was too busy thinking about Sejeong. That didn't even bother texting or calling me at all. I shouldn't be jealous...one of Sejeong's wake skill is dancing, she's just getting the help that she needs so she can improve. I keep trying to tell myself that hoping it would make me feel better, it didn't.

3:14 p.m. Kim Chungha: Sejeong-ah….I’ve been having a really hard time lately, do you mind if we talk on the phone?

4:05 a.m. Kim Sejeong: unnie! Are you okay?! It’s 4 a.m. right now, i want to call you, but I’m afraid you’re sleeping. Is everything okay?

Yesterday
5:43 p.m. Kim Chungha: I’m glad we were finally able to talk on the phone yesterday, I missed your voice.

6:12 p.m. Kim Sejeong: I’m sorry, I promise I will make time to talk to you more! I hope to be able to see each other soon, I love you!

I was re-reading the text conversations that I had with Sejeong throughout the month...it’s sad seeing how little we talk. Before it would be nonstop texting. This really … I was happy that she called me yesterday, but that happiness was soon ruined when Sejeong spent half the time laughing and talking to Hana unnie. I felt my jealousy increasing by the minute. I decided to let it go because tomorrow is our anniversary and I was planning to surprise Sejeong at her company. We have the day off tomorrow, the others were planning to go shopping, but I am going to head over to Jellyfish company. Mina told me that they’re just going to be practicing all day, so Sejeong will be able to see me for a bit. I felt excited just thinking about seeing her. It’s been so long. I miss her touches, her hugs, her kissed, and more importantly I just really miss her a lot.

I woke up early the next day and made some food that were good for a picnic. There’s a park nearby the Jellyfish company so I was thinking of taking Sejeong there on her break. The others helped me with the food a bit, but i shooed them all away because they kept eating the food instead of actually helping. After about two hours of preparing I was finally done. I took an uber to the company because the other managers were busy taking the other members to places. When i arrived at the company I texted Mina asking what they were doing and she told me they were on their breaks. I had asked her to come help take me to Sejeong, but she couldn’t because even though she was on her break she still had to go talk to her manager about something.

I went into the company by myself and started wandering around. The employees tehre helped me and guilded me a bit, but I have a bad sense of direction so I got loss from time to time. When i reached the practice room I saw Sejeong in there, it felt so good to see her. She lost a bit of weight, which got me a bit worried. I can see her dark circles getting darker. What made me sad though was that she wasn’t alone in the practice room. I assume the other girl was Hana unnie from all the pictures I’ve seen. Hana unnie was helping Sejeong with some dance moves, but it was bothering me because her hands were on Sejeong’s hips and they were too close to each other.

They bother turned their head in surprise when I suddenly just opened the door. The change of expression on Sejeong’s face made my day. She was smiling so big and ran to hug me. I immediately melted into her arms and I never wanted to let go. She pulled back a bit and kissed me. Feeling her soft lips again, I felt like I was in heaven. It felt too short, but we pulled away when Hana unnie awkwardly coughed.

“Hey Chungha, nice to meet you!” Hana unnie said with a smile.

“Hey,” I smiled back and gave her a quick hug.

“What are you doing here?!” Sejeong asked excitedly as she wrapped her arms around my waist.

“Thought my girlfriend could take a break and maybe have a picnic with me at the park?” I asked with a smile.

I didn’t think it was possible for Sejeong’s smile to get any bigger, but it did. Seeing that it did made me even happier, but soon it just faltered when Sejeong opened to ask a question.

“Hana unnie! You should join us, it’ll be fun” Sejeong stupidly asked.

“No it’s okay, i don’t want to intrude on you guys.” Hana unnie smiled.

Good.

“No it’s fine! The more the merrier, right Chungha unnie?” Sejeong nudged me. I am going to kill this pabo.

“Yeah...it’ll be fun, we can get to know each other.” I forced the words out of my mouth.

“Errrm i don’t know.” Hana unnie said awkwardly, which I was glad.

“Let’s go!” Sejeong said excitedly then interlocked our fingers, while she was using her other hand to pull Hana unnie along.

The three of us walked together to the park while making some small talks. Sejeong was telling the good things about me to Hana unnie, and then she would tell me the good things about Hana unnie.

We found a good spot to placed the blanket and the food so we started setting up. Sejeong was sitting in the middle, but she was a bit closer to me. I was still waiting for Sejeong to say happy anniversary to us, but she didn’t. I thought maybe she just felt a bit awkward with Hana unnie here.

We put out all the food and started eating. I wanted to act like a couple and feed each other, but I felt awkward with Hana unnie there. I can tell Hana unnie also felt a bit awkward since she was the third wheel. Maybe Sejeongie can sense that too because all of a sudden she started paying more attention to Hana unnie. Instead of feeding me and giving me more food, she was feeding Hana unnie and wiping some stuff off of her lips. If strangers walked back i’m pretty sure they would think I’m the third wheel.

I don’t know how it happened, but somehow Sejeong and Hana unnie were immersed in their own conversation and I felt like I was invisible. Sejeong’s hands were still on mine, but I wasn’t getting the attention. I was starting to get really annoyed and jealous. I felt really mad too and I can feel tears welling up in my eyes. I decided to use my last measure and took out my present for Sejeong, maybe then she’ll acknowledge our anniversary.

“Here Sejeongie!” I said interrupting their conversation, trying not to sound annoyed or mad.

“What’s this?” Sejeong asked looking at the present curiously.

“Do you know what day it is?” I asked, now I can really feel my tears coming because I had a feeling that Sejeong might have forgotten our anniversary, but I didn’t want to believe it.

“It’s tuesday, July 6th.” Sejeong answered confidently.

“Yup...and what is July 6th?” I asked narrowing my eye.

Sejeong just looked at me confused.

“You forgot…?” I asked in a quiet voice.

At this point I can see Hana unnie was feeling really awkward, but I didn’t care. I can feel my anger boiling up seeing that Sejeong forgot our anniversary.

“Forgot what?”

“You know what Sejeong-ah, you and Hana unnie can enjoy the rest of the food and the picnic. I have somewhere to be.” After those words left my mouth, I ran. I ran as fast as i could and as far away as I could. I didn’t want Hana unnie to see me cry, I don’t like strangers seeing my weakness. I heard Sejeong calling after me, but I ignored her. I guess she lost me, so I called an uber and went back to the dorm.

Sejeong POV

Ahhh what do I do?

“Yah, what happened with you and Chungha?” Hana unnie asked me.

“I have no idea, do you think she got jealous at us?” I asked.

“Probably you pabo, you mostly paid attention to me!” Hana unnie flicked me on the forehead.

“Ow! Geeze, I thought you might have felt awkward so I was trying to be nice!”

“What was she talking about? What’s so special about today?”

“I have no idea…”

I was racking my brain trying to figure out what today was...then it hit me. It hit me hard.

“HANA UNNIE!” I shouted!

“What? What? What?” Hana unnie asked looking startled.

“TODAY IS OUR ANNIVERSARY! HOW COULD I FORGET?!”

“KIM SEJEONG!” Hana unnie yelled and started hitting me.

“Ow ow ow ow! Stop it!”

“Yah! How can you forget such an important day?!” Hana unnie continued hitting me.

I didn’t stop her because i deserved to be hit. I hurt Chungha unnie so much. I am the worst girlfriend ever. What do i do now?

I couldn’t really think of a solution because it was time for practice again. Throughout practice I couldn’t focus because my mind kept drifting towards Chungha unnie. Is she okay? Did she get home safe? Does she hate me now? Does that mean things are over between us? The thought of not being with Chungha unnie scared me so much because I am really in love with her. I’m a stupid idiot who doesn’t deserve her though. She deserve someone who would give her their full attention. I’ve been so busy with Gugudan debut that I haven’t had a real conversation with her.

Oh god. She made a lot of effort coming to see me today and bringing food...She just wanted to spend some time together and I stupidly invited Hana unnie. I’m such a pabo.

“Yah Kim Sejeong, are you paying attention?” Our dance teacher stopped the class and everyone stared at me. Mina gave me worried look because I told her what happened and made her try to contact Chungha unnie because she wouldn’t pick up my calls. Chungha unnie also didn’t pick up Mina’s call, but Mina called the others and said that Chungha unnie has been locked up in her room ever since she got home. Nayoung unnie tried to go into the room, but couldn’t. I felt so guilty about this. I just wanted to go to IOI dorm and apologize to her.

“I’m sorry…” i mumbled.

Ahh screw it! I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door. Since we were almost done with practice our manager was waiting outside. She looked surprised to see me.

“Sejeong? Where are the others?” She asked.

“We’re not done yet. Unnie, please please please please take me to IOI dorm. Right now! Please! I’ll owe you one!”

Manager unnie can see the desperation in my eye and she nodded her head and started driving. I started fidgeting and asking manager unnie on what to do. Before I knew it, we were here.

I ran straight to the door and unlocked it. I saw the others sitting in the living room and the kitchen table looking really sad and dead. They all turned their attention to me and was shocked to see me. Somi and Yoojung threw the couch pillows at me and didn’t say anything.

“Kim Sejeong...what in the world did you do?!” Nayoung unnie asked in a scary tone.

“I ed up...Where is Chungha unnie?” I asked.

They all pointed to the bedroom and I ran straight to the door. Of course it was locked, luckily for me I learned how to pick locks just for future reference. I started picking the locks while the others just stared at me.

After successfully unlocking the door I saw Chungha unnie laying on her bed facing the wall.

“Unnie?” I said as I walked towards her bed.

No answer.

“Chungha unnie?”

I was standing right next to her bed looking over her to see if she will respond. She turned over, which startled me a bit, but it turns out she was asleep. I can see her eyes were puffy and swollen. So much guilt washed over me. I can’t believe I made her cry so hard. I’m so stupid. I don’t deserve this beautiful angel that’s right in front of me.

I grabbed her hand and interlocked our fingers. I started leaving soft kisses on her hands, then moved towards her face. I gently kissed her cheeks, then her lips. I guess that woke her up because I saw her eyes slowly opening. Once she realized it was me, she pushed me and went under the blanket.

“Chungha unnie…let’s talk.”

“Go away.”

“Unnie please?”

“Go back and spend time with your Hana unnie.”

“I’m so sorry unnie. I don’t know what to say or do to make things be better.”

“You can leave.”

Each words were piercing my heart and I felt my world come crashing down.

“I’m sorry I forgot our anniversary...I’m such a stupid girlfriend. I would understand if you don’t want to be with me anymore.” i said softly.

I was hoping Chungha unnie would deny it and tell me that she still wants to be with me, but instead she just stayed quiet.

“I’ve been the worst girlfriend these past couple of weeks and I’m really sorry for that. I know you might feel insecure because of Hana unnie, but she’s just my big sister. I have no feelings for her whatsoever. I only have feelings for you. You’re the one that I want to be with. I’m stupid for not giving you my full attention and I completely understand if you don’t forgive me.”

I was already breaking down at this point. My vision were blurry from all the tears that I didn’t notice Chungha unnie came out of the blanket. She took a tissue and gently wiped the tears away. I grabbed her wrist and stopped her. We both kind of just stared at each other a bit, I leaned in to kiss her, but she turned her head.

“You’re not forgiven.” Chungha unnie said coldly.

“D-does that mean things are o-over be-between us…?” I choked out.

Chungha unnie stayed quiet.

“I can’t let that. I won’t let that. Unnie, I rather die than not be with you. Tell me what I can do to make it up to you, please. I’ll do anything.”

“Look Sejeong-ah...if you love me as much as you say you do then you wouldn’t ignore me for a couple of days. You wouldn’t have forgotten about our anniversary. You wouldn’t have invited Hana unnie to our picnic date. Maybe you’re just lying to yourself about how much you love me.”

“No! I know my feelings. My feelings are telling me that I love you more than anything in the world. Please Chungha unnie give me one more chance.”

I was crying so hard by now because I couldn’t believe I had screwed up the best thing in my life.

Chungha unnie bend down and kneeled beside me. She sighed as she started wiping my tears.

“You’re an idiot, you know that?”

“I know…”

“You’ve suffered enough. I hope next time you forget our anniversary or barely make any time for me, you remember this pain.”

“Does that mean you forgive me?!”

“Eh not really, but I can tell you that we are by far not over.”

“Wait...did you purposely hurt me as a revenge?” I couldn’t hide my gasp.

“Yah! You hurt me way more!” Chungha unnie protested.

“I did...i’m so sorry unnie, it will never happen again.”

“I really am mad about this whole situation, but I guess it is understandable because I know you’ve been so busy with everything and you’re so focused. Knowing you, you want Gugudan’s debut to be perfect so you’re putting your all in it. I just wish you would remember to care about other stuff.”

“You’re too understanding....I really don’t deserve you.” i said staring at my beautiful warm-hearted girlfriend.

“You don’t.” Chungha unnie said smugly.

I couldn’t help but smile as i pulled her in for a kiss that was filled with so much love.
