Painted feelings

Stay for the night

"What kind of tea would you like to drink? We have black, green, fruit?" Mina asked, "There's still cake left that Momo made, you take it. "Can I have black tea?" Chaeyoung shyly answered. While Mina was pouring tea, Chaeyoung left the table and decided to investigate the apartment where the girls live. The apartment consisted of three bedrooms, a large living room, and a kitchen. "Maybe it looks simple, but we decided to bring a little creativity: we put candles, hung garlands to make it cozy, put bags to sit on, so everyone likes to spend time with us," Mina said, putting cups on the table. "I like your apartment, it's so spacious, bright, it's nice to be here. Sometimes, when I come to visit someone, the walls start to push me, but it's peaceful here," Chaeyoung said. The girls sat down at the table and started to get rid of the cake. "It's raining so heavily, we got in the house in time," Mina said. At that moment, Chaeyoung dropped the spoon on the floor and reached out to lift it. "Let me give you another spoon, and I'll lift this one later," Mina said. "No, I'll get it now," Chaeyoung had to climb under the table to get the cutlery. "I got it!" Chaeyoung joyfully exclaimed as she climbed out from under the table and sat down on a chair. Chaeyoung showed Mina a spoon as if she had found the most valuable treasure. Mina smiled as she looked at Chaeyoungie, she was touched by the girl's childish joy. Chaeyoung put the spoon on the table without taking her eyes away from Mina's face, the smile disappeared from her face and it made Mina start to worry that she might somehow embarrass Chaeyoung. "Is something wrong?", Mina asked. Chaeyoung didn't answer but kept staring at Mina. "You know, now I am feeling uncomfortable with your serious look," Mina confessed. Keeping silent, Chaeyoung started to approach Mina. Chaeyoung looked at Mina's lips and was ready to kiss them, but at that moment Sana, Momo, Dahyun, and Tzuyu flew into the apartment, soaking wet in the rain.

"Girls, are you back from your date yet? How did it go?" Sana asked. Mina and Chaeyoung looked at each other, understanding that they should say that everything went well without recalling their conversation in the ladies' room. "The date went well," Mina said, "How was your evening? Judging by the state of you, was your evening memorable, too?" "Don't say anything about Sana, she and Dahyun decided to bet who drinks more whiskey and coke, you can see who won," Momo explained. Sana sat down at the table next to Chaeyoung without control, she leaned over the girl's shoulder and almost pushed her out of the chair. Mina caught Chaeyoung and asked Momo to take Sana to the living room and put her on the sofa. "By the way, Dahyun and Tzuyu are staying overnight, you know, it's raining outside, I don't want them to catch a cold," Momo warned her. "Of course, you may not even have talked about it. Chaeyoung, stay, too. How will you go home in this rain?" Mina said. "I can call a taxi," Chaeyoung said. "Stay with us, tomorrow is Sunday. It'll be more fun together!" Dahyun started convincing. "Yes, stay, to call her mother and tell her she's staying with the girls tonight.

Before going to bed the girls spent time talking, playing board games, Mina could not break away from the game on the console, and Sana decided to have dinner with Momo cake. "Girls, it's very late, why don't we go to bed?" Tzuyu suggested. "Indeed, the time has passed unnoticed. Dahyun will sleep in my room, Sana will stay in her room with Tzuyu, and Mina will stay with Chaeyoung. Just promise not to touch her," Momo said. "I wasn't going to touch her, I'll give her a mattress, and she'll lie on the floor!" Mina laughed. "Chaeyoung, do you agree?" Momo said. "Yes, no problem," Chaeyoung nodded, looking at Mina with approval. The girls split up in their rooms. Mina gave Chaeyoung a towel, bed linen and a T-shirt that she could sleep in: "If you need to change, I can come out," Mina warned her. "No, I'm going to take a shower now anyway!" Chaeyoung replied. Ten minutes later, Chaeyoung returned from the shower, wearing nothing but the long T-shirt that Mina gave her. "Momo gave me this T-shirt for my birthday, so it's my favorite T-shirt, you're honored to sleep in it," Mina joked. Chaeyoung lay down on the mattress, said good night to Mina and covered herself with a blanket. Mina put out the lights and turned her back on the window.
