"Why?" Mina asked again.

"Huh? I just told you—"

"Why didn't you tell me you knew me when we met at school?"

"Well, I knew you had a reason why you transferred."

Dangerously In Love [Chapter 34]

[Flashback]

It's been a month since the last time she saw Mina. Chaeng always go to the coffee shop and convenience store hoping she'll get to see her, but she didn't.

Then one afternoon, Chaeng just came from school and she's on her way to go to the training center. She got off the bus and walked. When she was about to cross the street, she saw her, the girl she's been looking for.

"Oh? Oh?? Is that her?" She can't believe her eyes, she rubbed it then looked again. "It is her!" She felt happy to see her again.

"Aah, so this is your school. I wonder if she's a singer or dancer." Then she looked at them as they passed by. She's with the same blonde girl she saw at the apartment before.

She looked at them giggle as they talked until they get in the bus. "She look so pretty in that uniform. And her laugh is so cute." Chaeng smiled as she talked to herself.

"Aah. So that's how you knew my school. I knew something was odd when you said Ms. Kim said it when she introduced me in the class 'cause I realy don't remember." (Refer to Chap 29)

Chaeng nodded. "Then I figured you're a dancer."

[Flashback]

Eversince Chaeng knew where Mina is studying, she makes sure that she goes to the training center at the same time, everyday.

She's standing, leaning on the wall. She checked her watch. "It's time." Then she looked at the gate where Mina and her friend just got out from.

She never approached them, she's contented with just watching her from a distance. She's been doing that for a couple of weeks. Then one day, she didn't see her.

"Did her schedule changed? Or did she transfer to a different school?" Chaeng sighed.

Chaeng's training starts at 5pm but she goes there at 4:30 hoping she can see Mina. Her training ends at 7pm. Then one night...

"Thank you Ssaem, see you tomorrow." Chaeng said as she bid goodbye to her trainer. She stretches her arm as she walked towards the bus station. She sat at the back side beside a window, rested her head and closed her eyes to take a nap.

"I told you you'll do well." The blonde girl said as they walked towards Chaeng's direction.

"Not really. There were a lot who danced better."

Chaeng woke up as she heard them chat.

"But you're the best." The blonde girl said.

"Aigoo. Is that a compliment Momo-chan? Or are you just teasing me?" Mina replied.

Daebak! After a couple of days I've you again. She was in awe as she looked at them sat in front of her. So the blonde girl's name is Momo. Wait, a peach? Haha cute name. I wonder what your name is. She thought.

She overheard them talk about dancing and stuff. She figured they have dance practice in the evening and goes home the same time as her. And after a few days of going home with them, she discovered that Momo is a hip-hop dancer while Mina is a ballerina.

Everyday, except weekends, they go home at the same time, sitting at the same spot. And she walks behind them every night.

Mina suddenly remembered the words Chaeng said when they were at the dance club.

[Flashback -- Chapter 15
"But at some point, other people just stop.  Some of them quit for their own reason, while others just grew tired of it. But I hope someday they'll find a bigger reason to go back and start over again."]

"That's why your words felt like it was meant for me. You were encouraging me to go back to dancing." Mina s
