The bell had rung signaling the end of their class and the brunette had fixed her things to prepare for lunch. When she was about to stand up from her seat, a certain dark haired guy approached her with a shy smile on his face.

 

"Hey, Minjoo. Can I get you to have lunch with me?" He asks, ignoring the obvious stares from their classmates. The said lass was surprised by his bold request and kept silent for a bit. 

 

Although Minjoo really didn't have any plans for lunch today aside from eating with her friends, the talk that she and Sakura had last night came to her mind. She remembered how honest the older was with her and for some reason, she did not want to break the momentum of them getting closer. There is also an inkling feeling of not wanting to hurt the latter's feelings as well as make her feel betrayed for going against her word inside her.

 

Before the beauty gave him a response, she looked backed to her seatmate who was trying to stuff some notebooks inside her bag albeit a little too forcefully with an obvious pout and it made the brunette stifle a chuckle.

 

"I'm sorry, Junkyu. But I've already made plans with Sakura for lunch." Upon saying that, she noticed the sudden halting of movements of the grey-haired girl from the corner of her eyes.

 

"Oh alright. Maybe next time then." The lad left hurriedly away from the scene dejectedly but still kept a smiling façade on.

 

When he was finally out of sight, the goddess whipped her head to face the girl beside her and leaned in to her big and red ear.

 

"I hope you weren't too jealous." The younger whispered on her ear, a bit too smug if you ask the other as she earned a loud scoff from the japanese but the former noticed a subtle faint smile that curled up on her partner's lips.

 

The cherry blossom then stood up and grabbed the taller's hand which surprised her.

 

"Let's go. I suddenly have a date with you, now." The feline said sarcastically but Minjoo could see that she was smiling throughout their way to the canteen and she also couldn't help but feel giddy at the sight of their intertwined hands.

 

The bickering duo's lunch had been enjoyable ever since Sakura's feelings were properly conveyed to her fiancée. They were back to talking to each other about almost anything and their friends couldn't help but notice it too.

 

"I'm glad they're back to being friendly with each other." Yuri says as she munches on a cracker, eyes darted on the oblivious pair.

 

"Yeah. I mean, friendly Minkkura is weird but bickering Minkkura is annoying. I'd rather have this than the bickering pair, they fight way worse than me and Kkura." Yena shrugs as she purses out her lips explaining and chewing her food at the same time.

 

Unknown to them, the so-called bickering pair were also having a conversation on their own with them as their own topic.

 

"Minjoo." The brunette looked up from her food and was greeted with the Japanese's eyes intensely focused on her, this caused her heart to skip a beat.

 

"You think Yuri and Yena are dating?" The intense look took Minjoo by surprise that she couldn't help but turn her head to look at their two friends to hide her blush and saw that they were being too touchy with each other.

 

"I mean, look at them. No one had really confronted them but I think it's very obvious that they are." Sakura whispered in a low tone, sitting closer to her own partner.

 

"Yeah but don't you think they match well? I don't get they just won't tell us, it's not like we'll object right?" The beauty asks as she turned back to look at the lass who was looking back at the couple and when the latter didn't answer, the younger asked another question.

 

"Are you jealous?" Upon hearing the absurd query, Sakura jerked her head back to the brunette to deny the acquisition.

 

"Nuh-uh. I'm happy for Yena, she's always been the happy-go-lucky kind of girl that I was afraid people won't take her seriously." The taller nodded at the statement as she continued to eat her meal.

 

"I'm just glad that she met, Yuri." The grey-haired girl smiled at the couple who's trying to make fun of anything that they see.

 

"Yeah."

 

 

"Ughhh." A certain cherry blossom groaned loud enough for their teacher to hear when the class was over and it made her seatmate look at her with a silly and teasing smile.

 

"So this is all it takes for the great Miyawaki Sakura to lose composure in class? A simple algebraic equation?" Minjoo teases the lass beside her who was still slumped on top of her desk.

 

"Hey, this is not the only class that we had all throughout the day." Sakura retorted back with a pout facing the brunette who chuckled at her.

 

The older was staring at the younger girl who was silently packing her things with a smile after their quick conversation and she couldn't help but be amazed how well stuctured each corner of her profile is, God surely took his time crafting her.

 

What anyone would do just to keep staring at her face all day.

 

The feline hadn't notice that her lips had slowly curved into a smile thinking about how blessed she was to have this sight blessing her every morning and she couldn't help but feel proud of it. Her smile suddenly turned into a frown when she saw Kim Junkyu approaching the beauty.

 

"Hi, Minjoo. I was wondering if you could help me out with today's math assignment?" A certain Japanese couldn't help but scoff at the request and it made the two figured before her turn their heads at her direction.

 

"Oh don't mind me. I just thought that the lesson was really easy that even someone as stupid as Ryuta over there wouldn't have much of a problem with it." She shrugged her shoulders, like she wasn't having a hard time understanding the lecture a while ago and picked up her bag so she could walk away from the two.

 

She knew just how kind the goddess is and when the the latter declined the invitation for lunch, Sakura was so sure that the younger wouldn't have the guts to decline another invitation especially when it is about some academic stuff so she just walked away from them.

 

But before she could, someone grabbed her wrist and turned her around, looking back, the owner of those delicate hands is none other than Kim Minjoo herself.

 

The brunette's action confused both the dark haired guy and the grey-haried girl but the culprit only locked eyes with her fiancée and smiled.

 

"I thought you were sending me home again today?" The older's heart fluttered at how Minjoo gazed at her with dreamy eyes and she went blank for a second before going back to reality only to be confused.

 

The Japanese was hella confused at Minjoo's statement because one: she didn't remember telling Minjoo to go home with her today and two: the latter's eyes were silently hoping for her to bring her home.

 

She shifted her gaze up from the taller's eyes to her hand and to the lad in front of her. Her eyes darted back and forth thinking about what she should do. 

 

She wanted to leave the two alone and sulk on her own because of jealousy but the younger grabbing her wrist just made things a lot more confusing for her.

 

"Uh y-yeah, I did. So are you coming?" The brunette beamed a wide smile as soon as the former answered and stood up from her seat.

 

"I'm sorry, Junkyu. I'm not supposed to go home without anyone accompanying me and my driver isn't here today. As you can see, Sakura isn't the patient type to be waiting. So, maybe next time?" Junkyu couldn't hide the disappointment on his face but he still tried his best to flash off a genuine smile with a tint of pain.

 

"Yeah, next time." He walked away from the bickering duo who was watching him until he was out of sight and when he was, the older nudged the goddess who was already walking out of the classroom.

 

"What was that about, Min?" Sakura jogged her way to walk besides her fiancée.

 

"I just didn't want a certain someone to be jealous." Minjoo answered looked at the girl beside her, flashing a teasing smile.

 

"I wasn't jealous." The other snorted and crossed her arms deniably.

 

"I never said that it was you." The brunette giggled when she saw the feline's mouth open and close as she was thinking about how to retort back but before she could the younger had already grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the building.

 

This was the second time that Minjoo grabbed Sakura's hand and the latter could not deny the fact the she liked the way their hands fit with each other's.

 

 

As they were on their way home, the cherry blossom was looking out the window and saw an arcade center and as quickly as she saw the game center, she immediately asked their driver to stop and dragged her partner from inside the car to where the arcade was.

 

"What are we doing here?" Minjoo asked in surprised as her companion was looking at different games with sparkly eyes. To be honest, she knew about Sakura's love for games but seeing it upclose made her feel somewhat excited at how the grey-haired girl swoon over the games like a kid.

 

"Come on, Minjoo. Let's play this!" The Japanese obviously ignored the brunette's question as she was dragged to a shooters game without even complaining.

 

The two were playing random games at the older girl's wish. Both of them were enjoying every game and Minjoo hadn't felt this much joy in playing games. Well, she rarely plays and it was mostly with her friends but she did not enjoy it like how she enjoyed this time together with her fiancée.

 

They randomly squeal and glee at certain games earning stares and glances from other players, well who wouldn't, these two are practically visuals having fun and in a world of their own, the view itself is something only you could imagine looking at a screen but here, there are two girls looking like they just came out of the television.

 

The feline checked the time and she realized that it was way past their curfew. She grabbed the brunette's hand and started walking towards the exit when two tall, muscular guys blocked their way. 

 

"Hey pretty ladies. You want us to keep you company?" The brown haired guy asked as he grins slyly at the two visuals.

 

"No. We're already leaving." The older felt her fiance's grip around her hand tightens and she looked at her with concern. Contrary to the other, she was not one bit scared of these annoying brawns in front of them. She placed her other hand in her pocket, pressing the button that appears to be some kind of emergency device. She was lucky to have this gadget that was provided for her in case of emergencies and took note to herself to get one for Minjoo too.

 

The grey haired girl gripped the goddess's hand tighter and hoped for whoever was the receiving end of the gadget would arrive soon.

 

"Don't be like that, girls. We're gonna give you good company." The other guy his lips disgustingly and slowly approached the two who also took a step back prior to their footsteps, wanting to increase their gap between the two muscular heads.

 

The bickering duo backed away slowly until their backs hit a gaming table.

 

Great. They were trapped.

 

But almost as if on cue, Sakura caught a glimpse of a familiar head peeking out from the view behind the muscular guys in front of them.

 

It was Mr. Nam. 

 

Sakura looked at the scene before them where Mr. Nam asked the tall guys to leave them alone and when they saw that the strangers strongly resisted and were flaunting their muscles at Mr. Nam, a few people dressed in a black suits came into view, confusing the muscular guys.

 

The cherry blossom shifted her eyes from Mr. Nam, to the tall muscular men and to the newly arrived men in black suit while protectively moving the younger behind her back. She was glad to see Mr. Nam to their rescue but she wasn't sure about the newly arived people. She wasn't sure if they were on their side or not.

 

"What's going on, unnie?" The doe eyed girl could feel the brunette's hand trembling in fear and so was she but she needed one of them to be strong.

 

"Everything's going to be alright, Minjoo." Their hands gripped e

Chapter 17: I was surprised when I saw that we got an update, and it took me awhile to even find it cause you put it before your new fic update. I was like, why did they had to go and hurt me again with a false update but luckily I look in the comments section. (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

And the epilogue was beautiful, it had everything I wanted. Of course Sakura goes full dumb dumb mode and start making assumptions, what else do I expect from her. But luckily Minjoo reach out to her so that Sakura doesn't do anything stupid again. We even got Chaewon here, but Sakura wdym you have your source when you don't even know that Minjoo hasn't marry yet. I'll just treat it that Sakura is dumb when it comes to the person she likes. (o≖◡≖)

I haven't started the new fic yet, but will start it very soon. Izone is coming back, so let all hope for more minkkura. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
