Part of Me (Will Always Be Yours) - JinJoo AU

Chapter X: Yujin

Chapter Ten

With Minjoo not being at camp, you found yourself hanging around with your friends more. You attended Yuri's music class but gave up halfway because the string of the guitar you used kept on snapping. In the end you resorted into practicing your archery skills with Wonyoung. Yena, Nako and Hitomi came back from their mission just three days ago but you still haven't thanked Yena, she's busy with Yuri and you don't want to bother them. Winter have been bugging you for days now, she just won't give up on asking what you and Hyewon was talking during that one lunch. You keep on dodging her by diverting the topic to Karina, your half-sister seems to lost her tongue whenever you mention that Hermes girl. Hyewon on the other hand seems a lot more excited as days passed by. Every time you ask her, she would simply smile at you and say in a sing-song tone,

"I'll be seeing Eunbi soon~"

You can't believe just how smitten she is to the Hunter. She is still head over heels with the girl she cannot have and you cannot decide whether to be sad for her or admire her for that.

Today, you and Nako decide to spend your time at the strawberry field. You were resting at the Amphitheater earlier, after you finished your sword fight with that one kid from Ares cabin, when Nako saw you and decided to drag you here. Nako was telling stories about their trip on North Carolina, she keeps on ranting how stubborn the demigod they rescued was. While you just listen, giving comments and reactions on her story.

"Minjoo is supposed to arrive today, right?" Nako asks out of nowhere, while she tugs the weeds near her.

"Is she?" you retorted, trying to appear surprise.

But then of course you perfectly know that she's coming back today. That's the reason why you have been restless since you woke up. You don't even know if it is because you are excited to see her again after a week or it is because of the dread you feel towards your impending talk. You are nervous, she said you will talk once she comes back and she's coming back today. You honestly don't know what to feel right now.

"Trying to appear clueless, are we?" Nako said, shaking her head "Don't act like you're not dying to see Miss Head Counselor again" she added, smirking at you.

"Dying? You're exaggerating, Nako" you answered, chuckling as you stand up from your seat "I'm going back to our cabin now" you continued.

"You are dodging the conversation, Yujin" Nako countered looking at you with another smirk.

"I'm not," you said, laughing at her "I just want to rest"

"Whatever you say, Ahn"

"See you at dinner, small bean" you said, waving your hand at her

Clearly, Nako didn't like the nickname, because she throws a small rock at you, that nearly hit your face. Laughing at her you run back towards Cabin Ten, you entered your cabin and not surprise when the first thing you saw is your siblings comparing the make ups and clothes they have. You walk straight to your bed not minding their stares and fell asleep.

It was already dinner time when Winter woke you up, you walked towards the Pavilion together. Like you always do, your eyes unconsciously darted towards the direction of the Cabin Six' table, and just like what you expected she's not there.

"She's not back yet," Winter said, tugging you towards the direction of your table.

"Who?" you simply replied, walking ahead of her.
