Jeongyeon's POV

Mina and Momo were sitting on either side of me both clinging onto my arm. I could tell they were doing this because they were afraid I would slip away again.

I told Jihyo, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu, Dahyun, and Momo that I bought chocolate and ice cream and to eat some chocolate before dinner. I wanted to speak with Mina privately. I felt like there were things she wanted to tell me. The girls agreed and me and Mina went into my room to talk. 

When we walked into my room with Mina following behind me, Mina made sure to lock the door. I sat on my bed and just s
