Chapter 14: ‘Her’

In Cold Blood

 

Mina is sitting at the all-purpose table with her teammates having their supper late in the night. Sana pushed up her spectacles as she put a spoonful of rice and veggies into while surfing on her trusty laptop, while Momo gobbled down her plate of jokbal with kimchi that she went to take away from THE restaurant. Mina was taking a sip of watermelon juice when the phone ringed in her pocket.

“Argh! Who would call at this hour?” Mina grumbled as she fished out her phone from her pocket. It seemed that Jeongyeon is calling her. She accepted the call and put the phone near her ear.

“Hello?” Mina asked lazily.

“Hi Mina, I’m Jeongyeon! Is your gorgeous friend coming tomorrow?” Jeongyeon asked hopefully over the phone. Hearing that Mina spit the watermelon juice that was in all over Momo, who happens to sit opposite her.

“Mina, you need better table manners, I’m telling Jihyo.” Momo complained with full. No, really, who is she to talk about table manners…

“Yea, she is.” Mina replies, while she is still trying to recover from her coughing fit.

“Great, I’ll see you tomorrow!” Jeongyeon replied enthusiastically before hanging up.

Mina sighed as she put her phone on the table. That friend of mine is going crazy, she thought as she continued to sip on her watermelon juice.

 

The next day…

 

“Hey Mina, tell your friend over there to meet me by the entrance later.” Jeongyeon whispered to Mina while the latter was doing her regular room checks.

“Okay…” Mina replies reluctantly with a sigh.

Jeongyeon shot Momo a wink as she walks away. Meanwhile, Momo could only a brow from amusement.

Mina was leading the peach to the entrance lying to her that they should have lunch outside today, when suddenly a car drove in front of them.

“Hey Momo! Wanna hop into my Pink Lamborghini?” Jeongyeon shouted to the said girl excitedly while she continuously wiggles her brows.

Tzuyu finally caught up to her mentor, wanting to join them for lunch when she sees her favourite lightning blue car got turned into something so… hideous.

“NOOO!!!” Tzuyu exasperated as she ran up to her once majestic baby and stopped in front of the car, sliding on her knees ever-so dramatically. “You said you won’t do anything to my baby!”

Jeongyeon gave the yoda girl an awkward smile as she said “Mina told me that Momo’s favourite colour was pink… so… Don’t worry! I used the best paint and spent quite a bit to make it look this fabulous.” Giving the sobbing girl a thumb up.

“Woah! What a cool car!” Momo ran up to the Lamborghini and ran her hands from the roof to the hood of the car, before rushing into the car.

“Let’s go for a ride!” Momo grinned at Jeongyeon. With that, Jeongyeon quickly drove the both of them off, leaving the sobbing green-haired girl still kneeling on the ground as she watches everything unfold before her eyes.

Disgusted at the sight, Mina could only sigh and walk up to her shaking intern on the floor, pulling her up on her feet. “Let’s go eat somewhere else then, wait for me here.” As Mina lets go of the girl, she immediately went back to kneeling on the ground.

Mina quickens her pace and drove her Audi to pick up Tzuyu by the entrance.

“Come on, I bring you to eat something nice.” Mina said towards the girl on the floor as she rolls down her window.

Shaking herself back to reality, Tzuyu got into Mina’s car as Mina starts driving them somewhere for lunch. While she was inside Mina’s car, this time, she picked up how Mina’s car smelt faintly of Jasmine and that it has a really neat interior. As she reaches to open the drawer in front of her, Mina spoke “Don’t touch anything.”

With that, Tzuyu quickly withdrew her hand and remembered when she first entered Mina’s car. Whew, what a scar she left in my mind. Tzuyu thought to herself as her eyes wandered around the car, and finally landed on the perfect side profile of her mentor. Her facial features are so soft yet unreal and perfect, oh how much Tzuyu wants to trace her fingers down that breath-taking face.

“You done staring? We’re here.” Mina’s voice brought Tzuyu back from her thoughts that have been consuming her inside since I-don’t-know-when.

They have arrived at a grill bar, where they serve premium Korean beef; both raw and cooked.

“Let’s go.” Mina said as she reaches to grab Tzuyu’s wrist. Tzuyu was shocked at Mina’s expensive taste in food, and even more so by her action. And yet again, Tzuyu’s blushing like a girl experiencing her first love.

They ordered quite a lot considering the fact that only two of them are eating, two girls. And no doubt, it amounts to quite a lot when the bill came.

“Dr. Myoui, I think I should pay for this meal.” Tzuyu said nervously as she tries to fish for her wallet in her pocket.

“It’s okay, this is on me. And I actually make more money than you think, so I can afford to eat good food.” Mina reassured the younger girl as she winks at her before flashing Tzuyu her million-dollar gummy smile and her million-dollar credit card.

“You should smile more; you look extremely attractive like that.” That line accidently slipped out of Tzuyu’s mouth as they walk back to Mina’s car. Damn, I didn’t think I would say that out loud. Tzuyu thought to herself as her eyes widen and places her hand over her lips.

“Thanks, I’m flattered.” Mina replied nonetheless. A proud smile tugged at the right side of her lips, even though she tried to hide it.

The drive back wasn’t as awkward as Tzuyu expected, because food coma immediately kicked in and she’s knocked out within minutes. She definitely ate a lot, especially given her slim appearance.

“If only you knew…” Mina muttered at the girl, still deep in her slumber.
