19. Reassurance

Hawaiian pizza is best pizza. You can @ me.
Kind of a short update this time :)

I sighed and looked at the ship that was steadily approaching the island, "Look, they're almost here."

"Good. I'm going to have a few words with them when they get here," Jihyo grounded out, tapping her foot impatiently.

Nayeon leaned closer to me, whispering in my ear, "I would not want to be Mina and Jeongyeon once Jihyo sets foot on the ship."

"No doubt," I agreed.

. . .

We watched as the ship anchored, just in front of us. We grabbed the bags of food we had with us and climbed up the ladder to deck.

I was the first one up. Mina and Jeongyeon were nervously smiling at me as I jumped on deck.

"Is Jihyo mad?" Jeongyeon whisper-yelled.

I didn't want to scare them but didn't want to lie either, I nodded my head.

They both gulped and held hands with one another as one by one, the rest of the crew made it up the ladder. The crew stared at the two of them in pity as soon as they were on deck. Even Gramps sent them a sad smile.

Jihyo was the last one to climb up.

Mina and Jeongyeon held their breath as Jihyo jumped on board.

We all watched as Jihyo had a poker face and casually walked to Mina and Jeongyeon. Once she was in front of them, she said nothing.

Jeongyeon and Mina looked at her in slight fear.

Several seconds passed but Jihyo still didn't say anything. She was just eyeing them with no expression on her face.

Jeongyeon got fed up with the silence and immediately started rambling, "Okay, we are so sorry! We had no idea that the anchor wasn't actually anchored! But we're here now!"

"We didn't mean for it to happen," Mina added softly, "We both feel really bad though."

"I'm not angry, just disappointed," Jihyo let out a long, quiet sigh, "Just be more aware next time."

She walked away from them and went below deck. Mina and Jeongyeon were looked after her in despair.

"At least she didn't yell at you," Dahyun tried to make them feel better.

Jeongyeon chuckled bitterly, "I would've preferred if she yelled at us. It's worse to make her disappointed than angry."

I offered them a small smile before walking below deck, to Jihyo's headquarters. When I was at her door, I gently knocked.

There was moment of silence until I heard Jihyo's boots on the other side. I waited patiently as her door swung open, she looked surprised to see me.

"Y/n?" She tilted her head in confusion.

"Mind if I come in?" I mumbled.

She opened up her door more, giving me space to come inside, "No, I don't mind."

I stepped inside and sat down on her bed.

She closed her door and joined me, sitting beside me, "So, what's up?"

"Mina and Jeongyeon feel really guilty," I softly said, locking eyes with her.

She frowned, "I'll speak with them later. Is there anything else you want to say?"
