(Minnie POV)
"No."
I wish I was lying, but I wasn't. That's how I genuinely felt. And I felt sorry for feeling that way. Miyeon loved me, and I used to love her back. But now things changed. She was now out of my life, but somehow I didn't miss her. Shuhua stood there, eyes widened and mouth hanging. She laughed awkwardly. She must think I was joking around but then saw my seriousness.
"What do you mean?" Shuhua was threatening me now. Her tone, her expression, everything about it showed she was truly pissed yet also couldn't tell whether or not this was real. It seemed like she was defending Miyeon. I probably shouldn't do this either. I have no reason to tell our maknae my true feelings for Miyeon. I quickly laughed.
"They're no way you seriously thought I was being serious!!!" My acting was good. Shuhua was now the one awkward and embarrassed.
"Sorry. I thought..." Shuhua joined me in the laughing. She must think she was overreacting. But she suddenly hit my arm playfully and said, "That's not a funny joke at all!"
"Well, you laughed." Then we both starting laughing again. But the whole thing was indeed real. It was not a joke. But I had to pretend for the sake of Shuhua. I'm lucky she doesn't think I'm crazy for making such a stupid 'joke'.
"Of course. Miyeon unnie was so sweet and all that...but it's okay. You'll feel better as time passes." I felt guilty for lying to Shuhua, but I couldn't tell her the truth. The fact that I didn't have feelings for Miyeon at all...I myself felt guilty. But I can't change it. It's just how I felt. I cuddled up with Shuhua and we both dozed off at some point. Before I fell asleep, I whispered one thing to myself.
"No more love. There was no more love."
