Chaeyoung's POV

How is this possible? Why the hell would I fall in love with her again? After what she did? How...

"What's the problem? You've been sighing for a week."

"It's just..."

"There you go with your 'it's just' again. Just tell me what the problem, hmm? I'm still your friend after all." Lauren sighed.

I have no choice. I should just tell her.

"I think..."

Should I really tell her? She'll mock me nonstop, for sure.

Whatever.

"You think what?"

"I think I like Mina... again." She almost choked on her cereal.

"What?! You like Mina?!"

"Yes! I know it's unbelievable after what she did to me." I face palmed.

"Oh, boy. This is amazing. The cousins having feelings on the same person." She laughed.

"And you think it's funny?"

"'I don't like Mina, I swear!'" She mocked.

What could I expect? Seriously, Lauren...

"I think you received a message."

Shit.

"It's her." I stood up.

Aish. Where on earth did I put my phone? I roamed my eyes across the room.

"There it is." I mumbled as I saw it on the center table.

"Ah, what should I do?" I massaged my temple.

I messed up. REAL TIME. I should've never told her that.

"Plan? What plan?" Lauren asked as she peeked through my phone.

"Well..."

[That day, at the restaurant...]

"How's your job?" I asked.

"Well, it's fine. I have a client to meet at Saryang Island."

"Saryang Island? You're going there alone?"

"Yep." She nodded.

"Wow, I really wanted to hike in there though." I continued eating.
