MINE

CHAPTER 15

2 new messages from Aunty Nayeon.

A.N: Mina, your parents want to talk to you.

A.N: Please be back only for a day.

Not now. I don't want to talk to them. But how long can I avoid them? It's better to just say what I want to say and if they don't agree with me, I don't give a shit. And the school dance is coming soon so better to be happy than sad.

I looked at Chaeng. Should I wake her up? I decided to write a note telling her where I would be going.

I reached my house and opened the door. The two nightmare parents are right in front of me, sitting on the couch. Mom looks like she had been crying for hours while Dad just glared at me. Aunty Nayeon looks relieved that I came. I decided to break the silence in the room.

Mina: What do you want?

Dad: A talk about your sick friend.

I swear I feel like punching them.

Mina: I told you, she's not sick and she's not my friend, she's my girlfriend-

Mom: She is sick! We're trying to help you, Mina. Stay away from her.

Dad: What you're feeling now, is all fake-

Mina: At least I know what love is, not like you two.

Silence.

Dad stood up. He balled his fists. He walked up to me.

Dad: What did you say?

I gulped before repeating.

Mina: At least I know what love is-

A whole slap on my face, enough for me to be on the floor. He grabbed my hair and pushed me to the wall.

A.N: Stop it! You agreed on talking, not abusing her!

Dad: Shut up!

Mina: Have I pissed you off?

Dad: I said shut up!

He gave me a hard punch on my nose. Blood started to trickle down. I growled at him. He got on me and started to punch my face. Everything felt so numb and I can't do shit about it.

A.N: Stop it! This is too much, act like a father and listen to your daughter!

Aunty Nayeon tried to get him off me but he pushed her on the ground. I started to get light-headed. My vision became blurry. Not now. Don't pass out. He raised his hand and balled up his fist again. I shut my eyes to brace for impact.

It never came. I slowly opened my eyes. Chaeyoung?

Chaeyoung: What are you doing to her?!? Aunty Nayeon, help her get up!

I saw my dad on the ground. Chaeng pushed him? Aunty Nayeon got me up. I couldn't even stand up without even wobbling. Chaeng ran to me.

Chaeyoung: Minaguin, you okay? Let's go-

Dad pushed her down and started punching her. He wrapped his hands around her neck and started squeezing as hard as he could. He's choking her.

Tick-tock, tick-tock. My mind became blank seeing Dad choke her. I balled up my fists until it was bone-white. Chaeng's face became purple. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. Don't. Touch. Her.

I ran to him and uppercut his chin. He layed there, knocked out.

Chaeyoung: M-Mina, let's g-go.

I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. We sat at the back while Aunty Nayeon drove to Chaeng's house.

Chaeyoung: S-Shit, you're in bad shape. Stay still I'll clean up the blood.

She took a tissue and cleaned it up.

Mina: H-How did you know t-that I was in trouble?

Chaeyoung: You didn't answer my calls or texts so I saw the note and went there since it felt weird. I was fucking lucky that came there in time.

I hugged her tightly. But what happened just now? Why did I become insane when Dad started to choke her? I cupped my hand on her cheek.

Mina: Are you okay?

She stared at me.

Chaeyoung: Y-Yeah. Thanks for helping me. I thought I was gonna die for a second.

A.N: We're almost there.

We reached Chaeng's home a few minutes later. What am I going to do about my parents? Chaeyoung took a first aid in the bathroom, leaving me and Aunty Nayeon alone.

A.N: Mina, I'm really sorry about what happened. I didn't know that he would hit you like that.

Mina: Anything can happen. He's unpredictable.

A.N: Mina, Chaeyoung loves you very much, do you know that?

Where the fuck is this going? I nodded.

A.N: She's a nice girl. I can see why you like her-

Chaeyoung: I'm back. Sorry if I took so long.

She sat down and opened the first aid kit.

Chaeyoung: Come here. He almost broke your nose, Minari.

I leaned closer to her so she could do what she needed to do. A bruise a size of a hand on her neck. Dad must've choked her really hard until she couldn't breathe.

Mina: Is your neck okay? There's a bruise there.

Chaeyoung: Yeah, I'm fine. You don't need to worry too much about me.

I leaned forward and kissed her neck.

Mina: Better?

Chaeyoung blushed and nodded. Aunty Nayeon cleared her throat.

A.N: I'll be going to check on something.

Aunty Nayeon closed the door and left. Chaeyoung held my hand.

Mina: What is it?

Chaeyoung: I love you.

Mina: Love you too.

She stared at me for awhile.

Chaeyoung: Mina, I-

The doorbell rang. I walked to the front door and opened it.

Sana: Holy shit, you okay? Your nose is bruised.

I nodded. We sat on the couch with Chaeng. So much has happened today and I'm tired as hell.

As me and Samo continued talking, Chaeng has been staring into space and being really quiet. That's not like her.

Mina: Are you okay, Cubbie?

Chaeng looked at me.

Chaeyoung: Y-Yeah, I'm fine.

Why is she acting so weird lately?
