Facing the Conflicts
amor vincit omniaEveryone was sleeping peacefully in the living room floor, their bodies are sprawled messily and bundles of blankets was placed around. Last night everyone had a drink and made fun of each other, they also exchanged gifts. They talked about how they spent almost all of their time together. Irene stirred in her sleep and her face was buried in Mino’s chest, he woke up by the sudden movement and looked at Irene’s sleeping figure. He her hair softly and chuckled on how was slightly open and soft snores come out from it.
“Hey, gorgeous.” He said in the cheesiest way he can, Irene slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to see Mino beside him first thing in the morning.
“What the ?” Is all she can say.
“Lovely.” Mino said. “Definitely what I want to hear first thing in the morning.” He kissed Irene’s hair and she rolled her eyes. She looked around and laughed, she hugged Mino tighter and heaved a heavy sigh then stood up.
“Wake up motherers!” She screamed on top of her lungs which made everyone in the room groaning and complaining. Mino just laughed and stood up as well, they both headed in the kitchen to prepare their last meal before they head out back to Seoul. One by one they stood up and prepared for their travel back home, they packed up their things and cleaned up the mess they created the night before. Then before anyone knows everyone was boarding the bus full from the meal Irene and Mino prepared.
The travel back was better compared to the travel to, everyone was teasing Mino and Irene especially the boys for being inseparable since last night.
“Oh what’s happening between the two of you?” Seunghoon teased.
“Shut up prick” Mino said. “None of your business.”
“Come on, are you dating already?” Seungyoon asked seriously.
“Depends on her.” Mino pointed at Irene who diverted her gaze to him from the window.
“What?” She said in an annoyed tone.
“They’re asking if we’re dating.” Mino said casually and made Irene blush, the boys howled like animals teasing them.
“Oh my God, what are you 5?” Irene crossed her arms out of annoyance.
“So are you? Are you? Are you?” Seunghoon said annoyingly.
“So what if we are?” Irene said in a bold tone.
“OOOOOOHHHHHH!” Taehyun, Seunghoon, and Seungyoon howled all together and Mino laughed boisterously while Irene shook her head at their childishness.
Then once again the travel went quiet.
“Are we dating?” Mino asked in a whisper
“I don’t know.”
“Wanna date?” Mino teased.
“I don’t know.” Irene said but she was already blushing and Mino laughed at her. She slapped his arms and rested her head on his shoulder then Mino rested his head on hers.
“Your head’s heavy.” Irene complained.
“We are dating.” Mino said.
“Huh?”
“You are my girlfriend.” Mino said in a flat tone announcing his ownership to her which made her blush for the nth time today. “Okay?”
“Okay.” She said shyly. “You’re my boyfriend then.” She chuckled and Mino kissed the crown of her head and they both fell asleep.
Joy and Yeri are beside each other, but unlike the travel to the cabin they were talking calmly and quietly.
“So what’s your plan?” Joy said.
“I don’t know.”
Joy chuckled. “As expected.”
“Look, Joy, I’m in conflict. I love you so much, I don’t think I can handle being without you, but I feel like I will be failing my parents if they found out about us. I’m a coward I know but I failed them enough.”
“How does being in love with me is a form of failing your parents?”
No answer was heard from Yeri and instead she just stared at
