Mina's POV

"Mina-ssi! Wake up!" Jihyo called out. I tried to ignore her voice since I couldn't really sleep properly last night thinking about Tzuyu and Chaeyoung. They have been driving me crazy all night!

"MINA!!" Jihyo yelled

"OKAY! OKAY! I AM UP!" I jolted from my bed to see her laughing

"Cute! come on let's eat!" I scoffed and walked towards the table to eat breakfast

"So? What's your plan today?" She asked

"Nothing really.. I just wanted to stay here and just maybe play games and level up my character"

"You are all fun Mina.."

"oof! I just don't feel like it.."

"Well, at least I have a life, Nayeon and I are going out for some sauna or something, I am not really sure what this girl wants"

"Have fun" I said in a monotone

In a few moments, someone was knocking on the door. "Well? get it?" I badgered

"Well? I think it's not for me, so must be for you" She smirked, I scowled and growled as I stood up to answer the door "Who is it?" I muttered. There was no response. However, I still opened the door and saw Chaeyoung grinning at me "Good morning princess" as she leaned over to kiss me. My eyes widened and began to instantly shut the door behind me.

"uh? that was Chaeyoung..." Jihyo guessed

"Y-yeah"

"then? why did you shut the door on her?" She laughed

"Oh shut up!" I sighed, took a deep breathe and opened the door once again

"H-hi.."

"Hello~ You surprised me Minari!" She laughed

"ha.. yeah.. 'I' surprised you.."

"So, I've been wondering, since it's like a break from the training? how about going for a stroll around the village?" she smiled with her dimples popping out

"Now? I just woke up.."

"I know, So get ready in 30 mins." She grinned

"eh?! But it's 8:30.. I am not a morning person.."

"you are now love" She held my hand and pulled me closer as she kissed me on my cheek "Oh.. I forgot.." She leaned closer to my ear and whispered "I love you"

I instantly pulled back "Okay okay! I get it. give me 30 mins then.."

"Thought so! I'll meet you by the lobby!" She waved and walked out

"right"

 

"Well? a date already?" Jihyo laughed

"Y-Yeah.. was she always this aggressive?"

"No.. maybe because she just being all out and not holding back anymore." Jihyo shrugged

"Ugh... if the other decides to ask me out too, I WOULD FLIP!"

"I doubt Tzuyu would do that.."

"What do you mean?"

"She has full respect to Chaeyoung, So I doubt she'll ever step over her stone while she knows Chaeyoung will be doing something.."

"BUT SHE JUST DID LAST NIGHT?!"

"That's because she's letting you know! lol!.. Are you new to this?"

"NO! I am not!"

"Well, well miss Popular! Your Elite is waiting" Jihyo snickered

"Whatever Miss know-it-all" I scoffed and began preparing.

In a few minutes Jihyo had to leave because she had errands with Nayeon. I got ready, fixed up my make up and headed over to the lobby... I saw Chaeyoung standing by the door staring over the horizon of the sun.

"Oh! You're here" She smiled full with dimples. She walked over to me and reached out for my hand "shall we?" I grabbed her hand as I allow her to lead me over to where she wanted to bring me. She lead me to her car as she opens the car door like a gentle man and bowed "Carry on Princess" So I rode the front seat and saw her travel along on the way to the driver's seat

"Uh? you're driving?"

"Yes, Because today is special.. so I told my Chauffer to let me have my car"

"What's so special about today?"

"Every day is special when I am with you love" She grabbed my hand and kissed it

"Right." I awkwardly laughed "So where are we heading to?"

"It's a secret! I found this best spot for our date!"

"Date?"

"is it not?" She smiled

"Okay.." She began driving onto the destination she wanted to bring me, a few minutes of drive we arrived at forest of some sort "Come on princess, we are having a picnic"

"a picnic? here?"

"Just wait and see" She grabbed my hand, and lead the way into the forest like area, the sun lighting through the leaves over my head, it was peaceful, the nature like scenery was like tranquil as the breeze flows through my hair. The warm scent of droplets of rain. I see Chaeyoung in front of me holding my hand as she leads me to the way. The sunlight passes through the front blinding my sight for a second.

"Here we are!" She smiled. She showed me a beautiful scene on top of the mountain with waterfalls flowing on the side of it. It was a clear view of the clean lake underneath us.

"It's... It's beautiful"

"Just like you" She smiled

"Here!" She set up the picnic area and pulled out some great pastries and sandwiches "I prepared these for you.. I hope you like them."

"You made these?"

"Yeah, I may be an Elite but I do have my share of love for Baking.. Go on.. try it.. It's made with strawberries.. I personally picked them myself."

"You farm too?"

"Yeah, I am not all riches and fame you know, I do have my fair share of interest too!" She laughed. "Come on taste it!"

I grabbed a plate and began to taste the pastries she baked, It was amazing! The taste was so precise as if it was a passion she loved doing. "Omy gosh, The taste is incredible.."

"Glad you liked it, I made sure it was not too sweet, neither does it lack the taste of the strawberries" She smiled watching my every reaction on every bite, It feels as if she was really happy.

"When did you ever got time to make this?"

"I made it last night, I couldn't really sleep, Soo.. I figured I wanted to give you something special.. specially made for you, things that I could not possibly buy for you." She scratched her nape as she's been saying these embarrassing things. Who knew this wild cub could be this sweet

"Thank you, I really appreciate it" I gave her a smile

"Oh right, here!" She showed me a polaroid camera "Will you take a picture with me?"

"oh what for?"

"Memories.. This is basically day 1" She smiled

"Oh right.. okay then."

"Okay come here..1.. 2.. 3.."

"Ah! beautiful as always Minari.. look it came out great!"
"I wasn't really ready, but yeah it looks good" I smiled
"Well then, we got loads of things to do!"
"What?"
"Of course! It's a date, So i do have plans silly!" She passionately smiled over to the photo we just took, it made her really happy with one photo being with me. Honestly, this is dangerous to me, I easily fall for small sweet gestures.. speaking of, I wonder about Tzuyu.

ugh I really need to figure out my own feelings before all of these..

"Hey Minari! Look!" She pointed at something by the end of the lake
"Huh? i don't see it."
"Look closer! It's so cool! I've never seen one before.."
"Uhhh?"
"It's a deer!"
"Ehhhh?! WHERE WHERE?!"
"Awww man.. it's gone" She pouted
"Aw, I've never get to see one.. it's so rare to find one these days."
"You are rare Minari.." She said leaning closer to my face and kissed me yet again, I pushed her back "uh, why are you so aggressive?"

"What do you mean?"
"You kiss me like every time you get a chance.. and it's not by cheeks.. you kiss me on the lips!" I furrowed

"I know, because this is something I could do for 100 days.. at least it is something to make you used to me." She smiled

"I dont even know why stealing kisses from me would help."
"It wont.. It's just something i want.. ONLY US can do" she hanged her head low

"Ugggh some times you really drive me crazy"
"Really?!"
"CRAZY in the sense of annoyance"
"Aww" She pouted "well I got more things planned for you.." she mumbled "but if you dont want to continue we can end it here" she gave out puppy eyes as she begs me to stay with her
"Ugh fine!"
"YAY!" She suddenly came pouncing over to me and was about to lean for another kiss as I placed my hand onto her lips "The kissing.. is enough for today... you had a lot"

"Aw, but your lips are kissable Minari"
"No! Go away!" She began chasing after me as she puckered her lips begging for a kiss. We ran in circles and heck am I enjoying the moment with all the laughter and no drama.
"Okay! Okay! Stop!" I stomped on my foot and crossed my arms, luckily the little cub listened and pouted as she halted "how bout a picture instead?"

She immediately smiled and pounced around me once again and began taking loads and loads of pictures. "Come! I got more planned!"
"Eh?"
She pulled me drastically towards the car and she immediately drove to where she wanted to take me and she was excited and in a few minutes she went to a halt "wait here" as she parks the car by the sea docks of Vale.

"okay? Ready?" She asked

"For?"

"The best thing you'll ever do" she chuckled and gave me that dimpled smile

"and that would be?"

"giving me another chance" She smiled and held out her hand

"okay?" I did hesitated to take her hand but eventually did. She pulled me right through and walked me by the cruise ship

"What... are we doing?"

"boarding the ship?"

"where are you taking me?"

"To my world" She grinned as we walked together boarding it

 

"Good day Ms. Son, Ms. Hiyouitozaki" A man in a tux greeted us. "This is a private tour around Vale and we hope to accompany you to your needs" he bowed

"Thank you sir." Chaeyoung bowed like a gentle man and I did the same as he left us in the ship's lobby

"What does he mean private?"

"Private, meaning, we own it.. doesn't it?"

I smacked her on the head "Whatever happened to saying NO to expensive gifts and all the special treatment thing?"

"Well? Old habits die hard" She laughed and walked towards the end of the ship to see the view. It was relaxing

"It's beautiful, Vale is such a beautiful place" She said. "How I wish to stay here for a bit longer" She sighed

"Well Gilmore is pretty too, but I agree, Vale is just ecstatic! everything here seems so calming." I chuckled and raised both of my arms to capture the wind blowing through me

"yeah.. it's like 11 in the morning and the sun is not even that hot, the temperature is perfect.. how I wish I could just stay here and relax"

"Well you can, you are like the richest kid alive.." I laughed

"That's my family.. not me.. I only wanted to live a simple life.." She hanged her head low and sighed "People.. when they see me, I always have to look at my best image, I could not jeopardize my family's name.. Even if I hated them so much.."

"why do you hate them? I couldn't even get hold of my parents because of our situation.. My brother died, I've been a criminal and My life is a mess..."

"My mom died when I was a baby, her part of the family did not really wanted me.."

"I heard, she was the only princess of Corona.."

"A beauty that is... but she fell in love with my loving father, who is now taking care of Nayeon unnie and her mother.. The Son family did not really like the idea of my father being a mere commoner" She looked up the sky, taking a view of the horizon "He said.. my mother was proud of me when I was born, Sadly.. I was just an only child. The smile on my Mother's face gave joy to him as she sees how much she loved me.." She suddenly turned her head towards me "I was precious to her" She said with tears in her eyes and suddenly wiped it as she made a slight chuckle "I've never been precious to any one before.. but my Mother.. I mean don't get me wrong, My father loved me so much.. but not as much as my Mother loved me.." She kept her head up and reached out for the clouds "If only I could see her smile, Everything in my life would be perfect.." She clenched her fist and looked over the sea

"It's okay, If she could see you now, I am sure she'll be proud of you.."
She chuckled "You really dont have to comfort me Minari.."
"but.."
"I am fine... It's just that, I missed my Mother that's all.." She hanged her head low and gave out a snicker "oof, We are too dramatic in this date of ours!" she laughed
I smiled gently at her and began taking her seriously "Well then Ms. Son!" I hopped in place and curved my arms acting cute "where are you taking me" I pouted.

"you know.." she began in a monotone "that's not cute.. you have to stop" she sighed
"WHAT?! I AM NOT ACTING CUTE"
"puhfwaa! i just realized how uncute you are Minari!" she laughed

"OH REALLY NOW?!"
"YEAH!"
"You sure are no fun..." I whimpered
"awww, is Minari trying to act cute" she tried to pounce around me

"NOW!!! YOU ARE TRYING TO ACT CUTE!" I yelled
"ha!! so i am cute?"
"No!"
"but you just said!!"
"I said nothing! I am leaving" I crossed my arms and began walking the other way
"Now where are you supposed to go? we are at the river" She played around laughing at me

"No!"
"Aww come on Mina?" She trailed me behind trying to give me that cute smile
"GET ME OFF THIS SHIP!"
"No!"
"Fine!" I walked out, however as I turned she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her making me fall my weight over her. She stared at me with a smile "Okay... fine... you are cute.. the cutest ever" she said with a gentle voice as pulled my chin up and leaned over to kiss me softly. Her kisses were deeper and more passionate this time. She gave me short kisses, teasing me constantly until She grabbed my hand and lead it to wrap it around her neck. She grabbed my waist closer to her and began to move her lips. she kissed me passionately. I made her do what she wanted and made her lead me, I didn't even know why but my heart fluttered once again for her. Her kisses were gentle and passionate as she pushes through at the end of the barrier of the boat. I was sure this is just infatuation, because I KNOW... I am in love someone else.....
Oh.. TZUYU.. i gotta stop....
"Chaeyoung" I breathed "stop" i pushed her away.
"I'm sorry.. I just thought.."
"No.. it's just that.. we might fall."
"Eh? No we wont" she laughed
"Haa.. yeah" I sighed in awkwardness
"Wait, was I your first?"
"NO? I certainly had been kissed!!"
"Oh! Well, mmm" she hummed "wanna try it again?" She smirked
"NO! And i never told you to keep kissing me? Are you planning to do this for 100 days?!"
"Yes" she bluntly replied
"Oh.."
"Something that only you and I could do.." she smiled. I felt guilty and It seemed like i wanted to tell her the truth. yeah.. I guess I should?
"Actually.." I began "Tzuyu kissed me too.." I hanged my head low, waiting for her reply

"Eh?" Her eyes widened
