Her Signs - Michaeng [EDITING]

Chapter 4: Her Secret

"You're so dumb Son Chaeyoung, even if I were in your shoes I wouldn't say those things! Just imagine how painful it was for her!" Dahyun nags, she shook her head in disappointment. At lunch break, Chaeyoung decided to share what happened last night to her bestfriends.

"She went through a lot already and you said those hurtful things to her."

"I didn't mean it, okay? I'd didn't know she was mute. I didn't know anything!" Chaeyoung defended herself.

"So that is why we need to be mindful of what we say, if you don't know anything, don't talk—"

"But if I don't talk she wouldn't, and she can't—"

"Okay, keep it down you two. People might hear you." Tzuyu interrupted, the two then looked around before sighing. They sat in their usual bench eating their lunches.

"But oh my goodness, 2 billion won, really Chaeyoung?" Dahyun exclaims.

"I had to okay? The bid kept rising and rising I just had to put an end to it." Chaeyoung said.

"Just what did you get yourself into? Aigoo.. " Dahyun sighed, shaking her head before shoving a spoonful of rice in her mouth.

Chaeyoung scratched her head in annoyance, then they ate in silence.

Later that day, Chaeyoung, Dahyun, and Tzuyu walks to the bus stop. Heinich wanted to pick her up for he says it's his job but Chaeyoung always declines and instead rode the bus with her best friends.

While in the bus, Chaeyoung saw a familiar figure on the street, she called out to the figure but wasn't heard. She immediately told the bus driver to stop the bus and she ran out without hesitations leaving her friends confused at her sudden action.
"Chaeyoung where are you going?!" she heard Dahyun ask her.

She ignored them for now and focused on running after someone, she took wide strides and successfully took hold of the girl's wrist and she spun to face her.

At first she was surprised but then when she saw it was Chaeyoung she glared.

"Look, about last night, I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean it." Mina ignored her and turns around to leave,

"Wait, I'm serious! I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it please listen to me." Chaeyoung pleaded, her voice cracks a bit. The japaneae girl halted and slowly turns around to face her, but still furrowing her eyebrows. Chaeyoung was expecting her to shove her or something but instead the other girl just looked at her with slightly milder look before looking away and turns around to leave again.

Chaeyoung sighed and got into her way.
"Please, let me make it up to you."

Mina looked up to her with hesitant eyes before gesturing her hands, Chaeyoung suddenly felt flustered. She doesn't know how to read hand gestures and it'll be a hard one for her to talk to the other girl.

When Mina saw that Chaeyoung couldn't make out why she means at all she closes her eyes for a second before silently sighing.
"U-Uh.. I can't read sign languages.."

Mina thought of something and fishes out her small notepad and her pen in her pocket. Chaeyoung waited for her to finish writing, she then showed it up to her face.

'I'm busy, I stll have a lot of stuff to take care of. I need to go.' then she started walking away again but she saw Chaeyoung walking after her.

"Is there really nothing I can help you with? Anything? I really want to make it up to you." Chaeyoung insisted.

"What about your kid? Where is he? Who's taking care of him—" she abruptly stop her tracks and turns to Chaeyoung and wrote once again then shows it to her.
