Chapter 16: Hidden Feelings
One WishMinjoo's POV
"Just please, don't break our Yujin's heart."
Hyewon unnie's words kept replaying in my head over and over again. Don't break her heart? How will I break her heart if she doesn't even like me for me? She likes Wonyoung and even if I did go back to my body, Wonyoung will remain the same. Yujin's heart won't be broken because she's still with her.
I sighed and rolled over to the side to try to get some sleep. I checked my phone to see what time it was. It was already past midnight and I'm still here, wide awake with no signs of being sleepy.
I sat down and ruffled my hair as I try to remember my conversation with Hyewon unnie earlier.

Flashback:
Hyewon unnie then let go off my shoulders after telling me not to break Yujin's heart. I looked down and nodded slowly. "I won't break her heart. If that's what you think how she feels towards me, then I promise not to hurt her." I looked up after saying that.
"Good." She smiles after saying before patting my back. "Just like what I said earlier, I'll find a way to get you back. For the meantime, just do your promise, okay?"
What she was saying still didn't make sense to me but I had to agree with her. I can't be the only one finding a way to go back to my body. I needed help, and Hyewon unnie being the one to help me doesn't seem like a bad idea.
"I will. Don't worry."

"Yujin can't possibly like me right? She likes Wonyoung of course! They've been close for as long as I can remember, even way before So Curious debuted. Yeah, that's it." I kept on telling myself.
Somehow, it assures me knowing it's the truth. At least, the truth I believe in. Another part of me wants to believe in Hyewon. If what she's saying is true, then it means there's a chance that Yujin could like me for me. But as I think about it more, the more I know that none of it is going to happen. Yujin can't like me as me, she likes me because I'm Wonyoung. And there goes my circle of thoughts again.
I shook my head as I began to hit it lightly with both my fists. There's only one thing that came to my mind when I think on what to do at this point. Hyewon unnie told me it wasn't the right solution but there's no other way. I can't stop Yujin being close to me as long as I'm Wonyoung and I can't seem to stop myself from falling for her too. "I'll avoid her then. That's it, that's my plan."

Chaewon's POV
It's already been weeks since Hitomi started to come with me every time I visit Minjoo. She doesn't seem to mind if I took too long in staying here and she even stays with me until I decide to go home. I tried to tell her that it was fine, but she insisted on coming, not that I didn't want her to come. It just felt like she was doing this for me and I felt guilty about that.
I talked to her about this matter two days ago. She didn't even got mad and just smiled at me, telling me this is what she wanted. And I am thankful to her for that.
Having Hitomi around made the room brighter and even less gloomy. I tend to laugh when she cracks jokes, tells story about herself, and even threatens me that she'll tell Minjoo how sad and gloomy I was in front of her. Of course, I know she wouldn't do that. She's just saying that just to make me smile and feel less sad. And surprisingly, it's working.<
