Confusion and Realization

My own story

We we’re walking at the sidewalk to the café Chaeng was talking about.

 

 

Ever since I felt that, last night. I’m starting to notice every detail of what was Chaengie doing. 

 

No, I already felt this before...... but....

 

 

what is this?

 

 

 

has it always been like this?

 

 

 

Don't I love her becase she's my bestfriend?

 

 

Then, what is this?

 

Why do I notice every little thing?

 

 

Like how she held the door for me when we got out.

How she put her beanie to me, saying she’s wearing a hoodie so it’s fine for me to wear it.

How she smoothly changed our position fro me, walking near the road.

And just like now. She took my hand and put it inside her hoodie pocket.

 

 

Dugdug

 

 

“I already called you three times, you’re not responding.” She looked at me, and smiled

 

 

Dugdug

 

 

I looked at her, her beautiful black orbs, her pointy nose, her beauty mark below her lips, those lips that I want to ki- wait. What am I saying.
 

 

 

Dugdug

 

 

Here it is again.

 

I wonder if I’m sick.

 

 

“What’s wrong?” she worriedly asked.

 

 

Dugdug

 

 

Yah! What's with you! Stupid heart.

 

 

“Nothing. Just……. Let’s go.” I then walked ahead and didn’t dare to let go of her hand.

 

 

When I turned around the corner, I saw her.

 

Jeongyeon, with another woman. 

 

 

Nayeon.

 

 

I really do Like Jeongyeon. 

I felt pain when I saw them together

 

 

But something is stronger than that....

 

That it subsided the hurt...

 

 

What’s happening to me, didn’t I like Jeong? Why don’t I feel anything? Usually I get hurt....

 

 

 

Why am I happy?

 

 

Is it because she’s with Nayeon? A good friend of mine?

 


I don’t know why I thought of Chaeyoung but I imagined her being with someone, like them, happily chatting with each other.

 

I imagined chaeyoung as Jeongyeon right now.

 

 

‘phang’

 

 

And that’s when I felt the pain.

 

 

Chaeyoung then dragged me out of there. I let her as I get drowned with my thoughts.

 

 

What is this?

 

 

 

And why did I get hurt Imagining Chaeng doing it with another girl.

 

 

I’m starting to get confused. So confuse with my feelings.

 

 


Before I knew it, I’m already at the middle of the field. She let go of my hands and went to pick up something.

 

“Where are we? Chae?”

She just looked at me and smiled.

She approached while clutching something behind her back.

She then handled me 5 tennis ball and arranged lots of Bottles in the middle of the field.

 

 

She came back to me and said “Let it all out.” Then went to the side and watch me do my thing.

 

I took a deep breath before throwing the balls.

 

I just kept throwing and picking up the ball.

I let my frustrations and confusions out.

I let my mind soar free for a while.

 

 

I eventually got tired and slumped myself beside her.


“Better?”  she asked

I nodded.

After a few minutes of silence, I broke it. “I’m sorry.” 

“What for?”

“For this mess.”

 

 

I don’t know anything anymore, I’m so confused. Why did I feel happy instead of getring sad when i saw Jeong?

 

 

I imagined Chaeyoung again, with another woman.

 

 

 I didn’t notice, but I started to cry “ I- Im a mess. If only I’m not so stupid you wouldn’t ha-“

 

She cutted me “No. Mina It’s fine.”

 She touched my cheek and wiped the rolling tear. “It’s fine.”

She didn’t pulled out her hands, and she looked and smiled lovingly.

 

Since when did did her smile makes me flutter.

Why are you like this.

Why do you always stay with me when I’m at my worst?

 

“No! It’s not. I- I- I’m becoming a burden to you” 

 

She changed her position and moved in front of me.

 

“Hey! Hey! Look at me!.” I looked. “You are not a burden. Okay!”

She then hugged me.

 

Just inhaling her scent made my heart flutter.

Since when did my heart flatter for her.

I was also like this when I was with Jeongyeon.

Im really confused right now.

What's happening to me?

 

We stayed like that for a while.

 

I thought of the scene, once again, and thought why didn’t the pain rised until I imagined chaeyoung. Why did …..

 


“It hurts”. 

 

“I know.” She replied.

 

I didn’t know I said that outloud.

 

“It’s been 3 years......”

 

Since I liked someone...

 

But this time... I think something is different....

 

 

“Even for a long time, You will never get use to it, Mina. That’s love. If you're in a relationship with a person, it’s not always love that you will feel. With love, there’s pain. And that’s not a bad thing.”

 

“What if I feel numb”

 

“f ever you started to feel numb, that’s not good anymore, you have to let go, you received too much pain, you took all the pain of that relationship, it is supposed to be shared with both of you. All right?”

“What if…… what if I don’t want to let go?”

 

I don’t want to let you go of her yet.

 

I don’t want our friendship to end.

 

 

Because I think I'm starting to feel something for you.

 

 

“Sometimes. Letting go is better than holding on. Yeah it hurts. But at just at first. Eventually you’ll heal, and you will start to accept.”

 

 

This is one of the thing I love about her.

 

 

“I love her.”

 

I love you... Don't I?

 

 

She tightened her tightened hug. “I know.”

 

“Thank you.” 

 

She chuckled. “You’re welcome.”

 

 

I pushed her a little to look at her. “No, seriously, thank you.”

I smiled at her and she smiled back.

 

“You’re always there for me, whenever I have problems. With Jeong or whatever. You stayed and stood by my side when I’m a mess. I don’t know how to repay you. But please don’t keep secrets from me. I can help you too. With……. With………… with her.”

It’s time to repay you for your advices and your help with my lovelife. And it’s time for you to get your happiness. 

 

“Her?” She asked.

 

“Yes, your…”

 

, why did it hurts.

 

“love.”

“Did I mention her name?”

 

 

Why? You scared to reveal her to me?

 

 

I laughed. “No. Who is it by the way?”

“I-I………”

 

 

who?

 

 

She breath deeply

 

 

“It’s-“ then her stomach grumbed

“Pfft. Why don’t we take lunch first?” I asked.

Seriously. You never failed to entertain me.
.
.
.
I led her to a near café 

She was about to enter when she bumped into someone.

She quickly apologized and the girl accepted it.

 

The girl was about to walk away but then she stopped. 

 

“You’re Chaeyoung, right?” I can sense her flirty gaze. And just that made me feel something.

 

It took a while for Chaeng to answer, ”Yeah. You are?

 

The girl smiled and handed her hands out. “Somi” she looked at chaeyoung up and down “Jeon Somi."

 

Woah. Did she just checked her out.

 

The feeling inside me started to grow when they just stared at each other, holding hands.

I coughed to get their attention.

 

The girl gigled flirtily.

Why am I getting mad at her?

 

“Hey. Um. Can I get your number?” The Jeon Somi asked

“What?” the cub was shookt.

“I’m sorry, it’s just that, I would love to grab coffee with you…. Sometime.” 

 

 

I can feel my blood is starting to boil. 

 

What the heck is this feeling?

 

Chaeyoung looked at me

 


“I….uh.”

 

 

Did chaeyoung just asked non verbally for permission to flirt?

 

 

“Your taken.” Somi said.

 

I can sense the cub panic. And blurted out the words since I kinda panicked too.

 

 

“She is not!” I then stormed out of the scene and went inside the Café.

 

I just took a sit since this is the cub’s treat and waited for her.

Calming my unreasonable-rant and i don't know why I felt it earlier rage.

Chaeyoung then sat in front of me a little bit later after the scene with my favorites.

 

Why are you so sweet?

Are you this sweet with her?.

 

 

 ‘phang’

 

 

“Okay. What was that?” she asked.

As if she just said out loud what I was thinking.

 

 

“What was what?”

 

“This.” She gestured at me. “You’re being grumpy.”

I scoffed. “I am not!”

 

I grabbed the Americano and sipped it, not noticing the cub’s warning.

 

“Ah” too hot.

“Tsk, I told you! It’s hot!” 

 

I got teary eyed. She just smiled at me and wiped the single tear that rolled down to my cheek.

 

 

Dugdug

 

I felt my heart beat fast, and for the nth time……. 

 

This is not true.......

 

I can't love her.....

 

I do love her.... because she's my bestfriend!...... right?

 

“By the way, after this I’m going home. Dad want me at dinner.” She stated.

“Sure. Just pick up your things at my dorm and you can go home.” I smiled.

 

We continued eating while I get drown with my thoughts.
.

.

.
.

Monday arrived. I seriously did nothing over the weekend aside from sorting this feelings out. I have to make sure of these feelings. I have to somehow confirm. I’m going to talk with Jeongyeon first.

 

I patiently waited for lunch break, since that’s the only time we get together.

 

I quickly picked up my things and went out.
“Mina!” a loud voice called.

 

I turned around and realized I forgot to wait for Jihyo.

 

“Excited much? Don't rush, you'll see your crush when we get there.” she said with teasing tone.

 

I blushed out of embarrasment.

 

“By the way, Wendy is starting to get cold these few weeks.”

 

 

She started while we walk to the cafeteria.

 

She’s currently in a relationship with Wendy.

Being in class with her, she mostly shares these kind of stories to me first.

 

 

“Did you asked why?”

“Of course I did. She just reasoned out that she’s busy.”

“How about her couple friend? Irene? Seulgi?” I asked. Knowing that those three never keep a secret from each other.

 

“They said she’s busy with work…… anyway, have you seen the three?”

 

 

I gulped and nodded in respones.

 

 

“Those 3 are sooooooo dead.”

 

I Just prayed for the safety of the three and asked to save them from the wrath of two mothers.

When we arrived the cafeteria we looked for any spot available, or any of the familiar face we surely can sit with.

 

 

We found Jeongyeon and Nayeon.

And I remembered yesterday events. I smiled and approach them.

 

I sat beside Jeongyeon while Jihyo sat beside Nayeon.

 

 

“Hey, can we talk? Not now, later when we got time. I just want to confirm something.” I whispered.

 

 

It’s weird. Not feeling crazy sitting beside your long time crush.

 

I do felt the same as last time we're together, but after Chaeyoung, this feels like a friend appreciation......

 

 

“Sure.” She replied.

Then she smiled and ruffled my hair.

I didn’t know why did I suddenly stop getting fluttered by her gestures, I sure need to talk to her soon to confirm my deduction.

 

Then, Sana and Momo arrived with their lunch.

 

 

“The three’s not here yet?” Momo asked.

“They’re definitely hiding.” Jihyo said. 

“They’re definitely are.” Nayeon agreed.

 

 

And as if on cue, the three arrived. Holding a variety of food.
They put it in front of their two raging ‘mothers’.

 

“What is this.” Jihyo coldly asked.

 

I saw the cub glance at me.

 

“Tribu- aw!” -cub

“Peace offering?” Tzuyu asked with puppy eyes that no one can resist. The other two did the same making the two ‘mother’ explode with uwus.

 

I can see the two get tensed.

 

They rarely use this antics. Saying 'Cute' is not in their dictionary, when they are the whole definition of cute.

 

 

“Fine! But next time! Don’t. Do. It. Again.” Nayeon replied, defeated from the aegyo bomb.


The three nodded with fear of displeasing their ‘mothers’

 

They then sat in relief.

 

Jihyo told everyone about her problem with wendy. Nayeon and Jeongyeon announced their relationship, which pretty much surprised everyone except me and Chae. And after that, just some random stories and jokes are thrown.

 

I never averted my gaze from Chaeyoung. This is the first time I admired the cub’s face and I seriously regretted deeply.

Yes, Jeongyeon have great feature, but I don’t know why I found this cub’s face better. I was mesmerized. I snapped in reality when they we’re all looked at me.

 

“Are you okay?” dahyun asked

“Yeah, just thinking about the projects… you we’re saying?”

“Somi got this party this Friday, and we’re all invited, says this little tiger here.”

 

I furrowed my eyebrow. How did Somi contacted her? Is this why she never texted yesterday?

 

“Did you give your number?” I asked

“Wha-? No! Who in their rightful mind would give their number seconds after you met them?”

“I would. Especially if it’s the Jeon Somi!” Dahyun exclaimed which received a death glare and a pinched to her cheeks.

“I’m kidding! I’m kidding!” She tapped Momo's hand which eventuallyreleased her pinch and hug dahyun and pouted. Dahyun pecked her and said “Im just kidding.”

 

The cub rolled her eyes and said “we bumped into her when we’re about to go here and invited us. I declined at first but these two wanted to get wasted, so I asked if I could bring you guys since I can’t handle a drunk Dahyun and a drunk Tzuyu. Alone”

“Sure. We’re in!” Sana cheered.

Tzuyu just eyed her and proceed to munch her lunch.

 

The tension between these two evetually got lifted.

I wonder what happened during the weekend.

.

Friday arrived and we all met up at the park near Somi’s address.

When I arrived. Sana,Tzuyu, Nayeon, and Jeongyeon was already there.

 

The tension between Sana and Tzuyu is back.

 

 

“What happened?” I asked the couple. 

I didn’t know why I was fine with them being together since I (think?)have feelings for one of them.

 

They looked at each other, as if they’re hesitating to tell me or what.

“I’ll tell you when we talk.” Jeongyeon replied.

 

Then, Jihyo arrived.

 

A little bit later, the other two arrived.

And the first thing that caught my attention was Chaeyoung.

 

 

Oh my god.

Did I just checked my Best friend out? 

I mean I can’t help it.

Not when she’s smoking ho- wait.

 

“Yo!” the cub then appeared in front of me. Cutting my rumbling in my mind.

 

I gulped at the site. She was wearing a turtle neck with a black leather jacket, paired with jeans and boots. Her hair tied up. She wore a red lipstick, making her look a bit of a badass.

 

She chuckled. “Earth to Mina?” she then smiled.

 

 

dugdug.

 

 

Seriously I really have to consult someone about this.

 I can feel my heart wanting to escape my ribcage. I put my hand above my chest to calm it down. 

 

“Calm down! She’s your best friend!” I mumbled to myself. Thankfully the one in front of me didn't hear it.

 

“What?” 

 

“Nothing." I said, "Let’s go!”

 

Then a footstep from a distance approached 

“Wait! Are you seriously gonna leave me!?” Momo frustrated.

“Right. I forgot. I though you’re already here.” I said.

She pouted “Mina forgot me!”

 

I laughed and just ignored her statement. Knowing her girlfriend would lift her mood.

 

 

We arrived at the party, greeted the host, and settled ourselves on one corner. The youngest ones taking the drink for us, since they’re still guilty for getting drunk. Eventually, aside from me, chaeyoung, and Jihyo. Everyone got tipsy. I was about to drink from my cup but it was empty, and the cub noticed it.

 

“I’ll get you more drink okay? Be right back.” She took my cup and left.

 

I followed her figure wiggle herself into the crowd, but then, a familiar figure caught my attention.

 

“Is that wendy?”

 

Jihyo followed my gaze, and froze.

 

 

There, is her girlfriend. Grinding with another girl.

I looked at Jihyo and saw her threatening tears.

I looked back and saw Wendy kissing the girl, smiling in to the lips.

Before I could react, Jihyo was already marching into the crowd.

 

I followed, just in case something happen.

 

She pulled Wendy which caused the latter to groan but froze when she saw her girlfriend.

Her crying Girlfriend.

She received a hard slap.  causing some people around us to stop dancing, but as everyone is tipsy, they just ignored it and danced again.

I will keep in mind to not piss Jihyo off.

 

“I- I- I can explain!” Wendy rambled.

“EXPLAINED WHAT!? THIS?” She gestured at the cowering girl behind wendy.

“It’s n- not what you think!”

“THEN WHAT SHOULD I THINK? THAT YOU KISSING INTO THIS GIRL, SMILING, IS JUST A FRIENDLY GESTURE? YOU’VE BEEN AVOIDING ME FOR WEEKS!? WENDY. WEEKS!?” Jihyo scoffed

“I should have known, the signs are all there. You getting distant, getting cold, then avoiding me.” 

“Babe! P-please! That’s not it!” wendy tried to hold Jihyo’s hand but got rejected.

“Don’t Touch Me!” Jihyo sternly said.

“Babe! Please! L-let’s talk! She is practically begging, as if she knows what’s gonna happen next.

“We’re over.” Exhaustion can be felt from Jihyo’s statement.

“No! Babe! Please don’t do this!” she begged, trying to reach Jihyo’s hand.

“I should have listened to them. You did it the first time, why wouldn’t you repeat it.” The jihyo stormed out of the scene, crying.

 

Wendy tried to follow her but I blocked her path.

Looking deeply into her eyes with rage. “Don’t!” I stated and followed Jihyo.

 

I found her in the backyard. she brought a whole bottle with her.

I pat her back down and said “I’ll leave you alone for a while. You need it.

” Knowing how she feels right now. I decided to talk to her after she get herself an alone time to think.

I returned back to the corner to wait for the cub.

 

After a while, Dahyun is already making out with Momo, Tzuyu is having a staring contest with Sana, and the 2 oldest went to the dancefloor.

It’s been awhile since the cub went to take the drinks, not wanting to be in the middle of these s in the air, I followed the Cub’s track.

 

I looked for her in the counter and found her talking with someone.

She looks like she wanted to go but the latter not wanting her too.

She is holding two cups, assuming that it was supposed to be my drink.

 

I approached and hid behind the wall, just to hear the two we’re talking about.

When I can see the two clearly, I recognized the one who is stopping her.

It’s Somi, a little bit tipsy, but definitely still in her rightful mind.

 

She was holding Chaeyoung arm, not letting her go. Purposely showing her s by leaning down on the counter. Sending signals to the dense cub.

 


Is she seducing Chaeyoung?

 

 

“You’re really funny, you know that?” Somi stated, and lipbited.

 

 

I can feel it again. The rage. What’s with this girl, making me feel like ripping her head off.

 

 

“Ha ha ha I would love to continue talking with you, Somi, but I really have to go.” Chaeyoung said while trying to take the hands off her arm, but eventually failed as Somi interwined it the second Chaeyoung lifted her hands off her arm.

 

I can feel my blood boil again.

 

Chaeyoung gulped. “wh- what are you doing?”

“You said you love to talk to me.” She then lifted her arms and caress chaeyoung’s arm. She looked into Chaeyoung’s eye intently, and she started to leaned forward. “Then stay.” She whispered and leaned back. Sending Chaeyoung seducing look and a flirty smile.

 

And as that triggered my next action. 

 

I swatted her hands off, making the two surprised.

Even myself.

 

“M-Mina” Chaeyoung stuttered.

“What’s taking you so long!” I still don’t know why am I so mad right now but that definietly came out coldly.

 

“I’m sorry, it-s just-“ chaeyoung tried to explain, but this wtch interrupted.

“Why are you mad. Didn’t you say you two are not together?”

 

I looked at her and saw her victory smile splattered at her face.

 

I can only grit my teeth, she’s right, Chaeyoung is not even mine.

I don’t have the rights to stop her from flirting.

I looked at chaeyoung, my heart stinged for some reason, and

I feel like crying. I smiled at her when she looked back and stormed out of the house.

 

I ran into the park, since we agreed to walk back together since we we’re in the same dormitory, and the three youngest just want to tag along,

. I sat down on the bench near the park.

 

This is why you need some time alone.

You can think clearly by yourself.

 

Why do I feel that way?

Why do I feel enraged whenever someone flirts with her?

Why do my heart flatters when I’m with her?

Why do I want to be with her?

 

 

Then, footsteps broke me out of my deep thinking.

 

“Hey!” she said.

“Hey.” I scooted to make space for her to sit.

 

“Where’s Nayeon unnie?” I asked.

 

She simply just pointed at the sleeping woman at the bench in front of us.

I chuckled at the sight.

 

“So…… what did you want to talk about?” she asked first.

 

 

I breath deeply first.

 

“Do you know about my feelings about you?” wow, I didn’t know it was this easy to talk to her about my feelings.
She chuckled “you’re pretty much obvious about that.”

She looked at me and held my hand. She squeezed it. “A-are you okay?” 

 

I know what she meant with that question.

And I’m pretty surprised that I am more than okay with this.

 

“Yeah, more than okay actually. And that’s what I want to talk about.”

 

She nodded slowly. “Go on…”

“I just want to confirm my feelings….”

 

I looked at her and saw her confused expression, I sighed and continuded.

“I saw you guys on a date last Saturday…”

“You saw us??” She asked.

 

“Yes, me and Chae..”
“That explained why you two aren’t surprised when we announced it……...so….....” 

“When I saw you two together….. it didn’t hurt. And….. you suddenly don’t make me feel warm anymore, unlike Chae. I don’t feel something whenever I’m with you anymore……I don't know what's happening to me..... unnie!” I looked at her. "What's wrong with me?"

 

She smiled and ruffled my hair.

 

“You moved on.”

“Moved on…."

"Yeah." She chuckled. "That was a long time, but you finally moved on! That's a relief cause I don't want to lose you, neither does nayeon........"

"I wanted to talk to you alone to confirm it though.”

“Wow….. finally? Hahaha you really liked me for a long time that I thought I’ll have to see you hurt in my wedding.”

I laughed.

“Thank you though.”

“No. Thank you, for this talk. I had a hard time courting Nayeon since she knows about your feelings. We both love you and treat you as our own sister, we can’t bear to hurt you!.”

She side hugged me. “Good thing you stopped liking me romantically.” She pulled and looked at me. “Don’t stop loving me though! As a Sister! All right? Don't you dare!”

 

I laughed and rested my head on her shoulder. “Of course. I'd rather have no love life than lose you!. Can’t bear to lose my sister.” 
Silence engulfed us for a while, staying in that position.

 

“What helped you to move on though?” she asked.

 

“I don’t know either......” 

 

I Wonder what suddenly happened to me, that I stopped liking her.

 

One thing is for sure though........

 

Chaeyoung has something to do with it.

 

I pulled from the hug. “There’s one more thing, I need your advice…”

“What is it?”

“It’s just that, When I saw you two together, it didn’t hurt right? But when I imagined my best friend on your position, it" I gulped. "More than the pain I felt when I saw you with your ex girlfriend……”

 

I looked at her and saw her smiling while nodding slowly. 

 

“And?” She said.

“I don’t know……. It’s just that, she’s starting to make me feel things……… It’s not this strong last month, but now, I can’t even control my action anymore….”

“Hmmmmmmm…. Wait. Last month? You’re starting to feel these things since last month?” she asked, eyeing me up and down.

“Elaborate.”

“Okay….. Um…. How do I say this. I think it’s the time I saw you laughing whole heartedly with Nayeon, grinning ear to ear, thinking about it, you look like an idiot that day-“

“Yah!” 

 

We both laughed.

 

“Anyway, that actually hurts you know. So as usual, I was with Chaeyoung, since I had no class that yime and her professor didn’t show up. I talked to her about it, and she consoled me like she usually does. But then I was zoning out and getting sleepy, she must have thought I was crying that time but, she moved in front of me, held my face, and rested her forehead into mine…. I think that was the first time My heart beats fast other than you being the reason.”

 

She whistled. “continue.”

 

“After that, I started to feel things around her, though you still make me go crazy but it started to lay down. I didn't notice it slowly fading out because this.... other feeling started to feel stronger. I shrugged the feeling though. But now that it’s this strong…. I-“

I sighed.

“I don’t know what is this. And I don’t know what to do.”


She smiled at me sincerely. “That is up to you to know.”

“What do you mean?” 

Before she could get the chance to answer, Nayeon woked up and the rest of the gang arrived.

But one person is missing.

 

“Where’s Chaeng?” I asked

“I don’t know. When she went back to us, she’s in a hurry, she told us the she have to go ahead and told me to leave without her.” Dahyun said.

 

I pulled my phone out to see if the cub informed me beforehand. But no message was found.

 

That’s weird. The cub usually inform me about these kind of things.

Oh well.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

When we arrived at the intersection where the two would part ways with us who stays in the dormitory, we bid our goodbyes.

Then the second goodbyes when we arrived at the dorm.

I slept peacefully that night.

Solving one of my confusions about this feelings.
.
.

.
Days have passed, though, we meet as usual at lunch, but I can feel that Chaeyoung started to distance herself from me. When I asked her to hang out, she declined, her being busy as an excuse.

Then Days became became weeks, and weeks became month.

Nothing.

She still distance herself from me.

And we started to get busy since its’s two weeks before Finals.

 

Me, Sana, And Momo are having a sleepover right now, just to relax before focusing into studying.

 

We three knew each other since before our family moved here, in Korea.

Our parents are best friends, that made us three knew each other since we couldn't stand on our own feet.

We’re basically sister at this point.

 

“It’s been long since we did this! I missed you guys!” Sana exclaimed.

“We literally see each other everyday!” Momo

“Yeah sure! We see each other everyday but you!” she pointed at me. “Kept zoning out these days! What is wrong with you? and You!” She pointed at Momo “ Kept eating your girlfriend! How would I not miss this when you get being occupied even if we do see each other everyday!” Sana huffed.

 

Momo had her hand on her chest, as if she’s offended “Eati- Excuse me? You’re just jealous that you can’t do these things with Tzuyu! What is wrong with you two by the way! I thought you sorted things out last last month!” Momo exclaimed.

“We did! I asked her to meet up in the weekend after Dahyun revealed her crush on me! I told her to not get awkward! I even initiated skinships just to let her know that I feel the same!" 

She slumped down.

"Then, the night before we go into Somi’s party.”

Well, that perked up my attention, I forgot to ask Jeongyeon about it.


“ We both arrived at the same time and you guys are not still there.” Sana continued.

She sighed deeply

“We we’re talking just fine. Then a girl approached us and started to flirt with her. I got mad and the girl stood up, saying we’re not even together, and I hissed at her then she ran away. I then tried to hold her hands but she flinched. I asked her why but she didn’t answer! I gor angrier at her action. she tried to flirt in front of me! Then I stopped talking to her. I mean, what kind of girlfriend was she!”

“Wait. Hold up!” I said, rubbing my forehead realizing this shiba inu’s stupidity. “Girlfriend?”

“Yes! Aren’t we in a relationship when we both have mutual feelings?”

 

I groaned.

 

“Did either of you asked the other to be their girlfriend?”

“Ummmm…… No?”

 

 

Then the oldest of us flicked her forehead

 

 

“Ow! What was that for?” Sana asked, rubbing the spot that received pain.

 

“You Idiot! That’s not how you get into a relationship!” she took one piece of chips into .

“What! She’ll just tell you how her feel and you will reply "not to get awkward", initiate intimate skinship and BWALA! Girlfriends. NO!” she sipped her coke.

“You really are an idiot! You have to ask her! She didn’t even know that you felt the same!” 

 

She will actually look wise if not for the binge eating.

 

“She doesn’t?” Sana confusingly ask

“She doesn’t. You didn’t even tell her that, did you?” I answered.

“no…” she whispered, realizing her own stupidity.


She looked at us with wide eyes. “I forgot to tell her didn’t I?”

 

Momo and I just nodded like this kind of things are normal occurrence.

 

“Gaaaaaaah. I can't do this anymore. I'm making her officially mine. I am settling this once and for all!” Sana determinely said.

“How?” Momo asked.

 

Sana thought for a while.

Then her lips curved up slowly, smirking mischievously.

 

“I’m gonna go and arrange a party before hellweek.” She calmly said.

“Yeah sure. Do tha- Party!?” I scoffed

“As If Auntie would give you permission to borrow the house for that kind of  thing.”

 

And as if on cue.

Her mom knocked and opened the door.

Holding plastics of snacks.

 

“SNACKS!” Momo lounged forward and took the plastics from Mrs. Minatozaki’s Hold.

Mrs. Minatozaki laughed. “You sure do like to eat.”

She smiled and looked at us. “You guys confortable? Having fun?”

I Nodded. “Yes auntie. Thank you for having us.” I smiled

“Just call downstairs if you need anything. Alright?” 

 

She was about to close the door when Sana stopped her.

 

“Mom!”

“Yes sweetie?”

“Can I borrow the house for a night? I promise I will clean up after my mess.” 

 

Wow. 10 points for your bravery sana.

 

“You wanna hold a party?”

 

Sana nodded.

 

“In this household?”

 

Sana nodded.

 

“Sure.” Mrs. Minatozaki shrugged.

She was about to close the door again when Momo stopped her this time.

 

“Wait! Auntie. That’s it? You’re okay with this girl borrowing the house for a party?”

“Well, I mean, this is the first time she asked for such favors, soooo……. But this would be the first and last. So you girls, better enjoy it. All right? Good night.” And with that. Mrs. Minatozaki succesfully left the bedroom.

 

“Okay………. That was surprising.” I started.

I looked at Sana, expecting to have an explanation about the unexpected scenario, but she just shrugged.

 

“Anyway let’s plan this Party!” Momo exclaimed.
We planned the things we should do about Tzuyu. 

 

When our conversation turned into what kind of drinks we should buy, the events that night suddenly wandered into my mind.

I suddenly felt down since the Cub and I didn’t talk or interact much after the party.

I wonder if she’s mad about my action.

 

I was so deep in thinking and worrying about the cub that I didn’t notice the two talking to me.

 

“YOOHOOOO! Wake UP!” Sana snapped her fingers in front of me.

“Wh-what?” 

“I was asking about the Chaeyoung. You two don’t interact much this days, are you two fighting?” Sana asked

“I-“ I sighed. “I don’t know.”

 

They burrowed their eyebrows, looked at each other, and to me.

They moved to each of my side. “What happened?” Momo asked.

 

“I don’t know what happened to me that day. But…. There’s this- Remember Somi’s party?”

They both nodded.

“I was with her that time. When she noticed my cup empty, she kindly suggested that she’ll get me another one. Then there’s this thing about Jihyo that happened.”

 

“Right! I am so gonna kill that Wendy when I saw her!”

 

“MOMO!” Sana scolded Momo for cutting me off.

“Sorry.”

“Continue.” Sana ordered.

“So…. Yeah, after that, I noticed that Chaeng is taking so long to take the drinkgs. I got worried so I followed. I found her in the counter, talking to the host, Somi. I got curious so I approached and hid.”

I inhaled, and exhaled deeply.

“I don’t know what really happened to me, but Chaeyoung is really trying to get back and Somi is stopping her.”

I looked at their expression, and they seemed to be really listening attentively to me.

I continued “But then, she…. Was touching Chaeyoung, here and there as if….. she’s……”

I gulped.

“seduced Chaeyoung. And that’s it, I don’t know what happened, there’s this kind of feeling inside me that suddenly exploded. I swatted her hands off Chaeyoung.”

“wooh! Go Mina!” Momo cheered.

“Shut it Momo!” Sana scolded but she was laughing so it didn’t came out serious.

 

I shrugged their response and continued. “I swear, I also felt the same when we bumped into her and she tried to get Chaeyoung’s number. I don’t know what’s happening to me, I was also shocked at my rudeness that I stormed out and-“ I looked at them, they we’re laughing softly, grinning ear to ear.

“What?” 

 

They looked at each other, then smiled widely.

 

“Mina, Honey, We just want to confirm one thing.” Momo stated.

 

“How did you feel when you learned about Jeong and Nayeon unnie?” Sana asked.

 

 

I got slightly confuse at their antics.

 

 

“Happy? Why?”

 

They, once again looked at each other, as if sending telephatic message to each other.

 

“Do you still feel something whenever you’re with her?” Sana asked.

 

“Well….. Whenever we’re at lunch, I still feel my raging heart beat. So…….”

 

“Wait wait. During these lunch gathering, is the cub there?” Momo asked.

 

“Yes. Why?”

 

Now they looked so happy, they looked at each other and at me, then sandwiched me into a hugged.

 

“Our baby’s over with her crush!” Sana exclaimed

“Im so proud!” Momo said while acting like wiping her nonexistent tear.

“can’t………breath……..”

 

They released their hug.

 

“One last thing.” Momo 

“What do you think about the Cub?” Sana asked.

 

What do I think about the Cub.

“Well, I think that she’s one of the wonderful person I’ve ever met. I mean, aside from Jeongyeon, She’s also charming as heck. And I love how She’s always there for me. I even sometimed don’t want her to leave my side, but that’s being selfish so I just shrugged that kind of feeling off. I love her little sweet gestures. I love her style of fashion. I love her feature, her orbs, her nose bridge, her jaw, her heart shaped lips, and that beauty mark…….. below…..”  I didn’t know I spoke loudly describing what I think about her until I noticed they we’re looking at me like proud parents.

“I said that out loud didn’t I?” I shyly asked

“awwww Minari, come here.” Momo gestured me to go to her arms, which I obliged.

 

She patted my hair.

 

“Have you heard yourself? Minari?” She asked.

 

I pulled and looked at her confusingly.

 

She snorted, “Since when did you become so Dense to your own feelings, Is the Cub rubbing here denseness to you?”

Sana laughed, “Minari, our Minari.”

 

They are babying me again.

Since I’m the youngest of the three, they always treat me as their baby, like this thing that’s happening right now.

Sana pinched my cheek.

“Mina, remember the last time we sleptover?” I nodded.

“How about how you describe Jeong in front of us?”

 

And thats when it hit me.

 

“I like Chaeyoungie…..”

 

“No honey!” Momo Excitedly cheered.

“You. Love. Her.” Momo said.

“The way you describe her? It’s way too blergh. You also look like you’re in heaven when you’re thinking about her anyway.” Sana said.

“And the way you look at her at lunch.” Momo added

“And the way you always look for her.” Sana added

“And-“

“WAIT!” I shouted. “You guys….. you guys knew?”

 

They nodded. 

 

“Do you know that you’re really, really obvious when you like something?” Sana said

“Yeah, Like the time when we went to the mall when we we’re kids and there’s a Ballet contest? You looked like you were in paradise watching the performers, that’s why uncle and auntie enrolled you into ballet school you know.” Momo added.

“Anyway, The thing is! You now know your feelings about her. And this stupid cub is so dense she didn’t even noticed.” Sana groaned.

“I think they’re also having a sleepover right now. Dahyun told me yesterday at our date.”

 

I peeked at Momo’s phone and saw her on record app.

 

“Why are you on record?” I asked

 

Her eyes widened. She gulped

“N-nothing.”

 

“Momoring.” I said sternly. “Did you just recorded that?”

 

“No…” I snatched her phone and played the first audio. “

Well, I think that she’s one of the wonderful person I’ve ever met. I mean, aside from Jeongyeon, She’s also char-“ I stopped the audio. I glared at her and quickly deleted the audio.

“Well too late.” Sana said.

 

I furrowed at her statement.

 

“I sent it to my girlfriend earlier.” Momo

 

“You little!” I groaned “How would I face her!”

“Don’t worry, I told her that if she played it in front of the cub, we’re over.” Momo nonchalantly replied.

“Anyway let’s list down the thing we’ll need in the party!”

 

 

 

Then the Night of Sana’s party came.

Chapter 37: Oh wow...it suddenly getting so much more intense than it was before. The angst is really killing me, i really like the fluff part but i didn't expect it to have this much angst. The problem and the conflicts escalated so high that the fluff feels like wasn't even there anymore, even from the other pairings, but it still keeps me invested with the story. So, props to you author-nim
