Could Love be Hard as Math?

Chapter 3

No one POV

Its been 3 weeks Mina being Chaeyoung tutor. Everything going smooth without any problem. They basically build a routine every time they having session together. Sometimes, Chaeyoung would order pizza or something else or Mina will buy burger or fries as snack. To said they become a friend is a big statement as they still being awkward to each other especially Mina. Mina basically talk when Chaeyoung asked her a question and that not much to talk as she talk just one or two words. But, that's didn't make Chaeyoung  give up to make Mina being comfortable with him.

Every time Mina come to Chaeyoung house, Mrs. Son will never be at home. She will always go out with Chaeyoung's sister doing what ever they was doing. Mina never saw Chaeyoung father and Mina don't know if his father still on the picture or not. She's never asked about it as she know her boundaries and never thought that's was her business. Chaeyoung also never bother to told anything.

Mina POV 

I'm so tired and I need to take a nap. Well, basically that's what I'm doing every time lunch. I would sit with my best friend eat and nap. I don't care what people said as they always thought I'm a weirdo. So, why should I explain or satisfied people. I just be who I am. As I make my way to our usually table with my best friend, they keep talking about homecoming. I'm not interested with that topic so I'm just keep silent hearing them talking. We arrived at our usually table, like this table already reserved for us. I quickly put my bag on the table ready to take a nap. But, my best friend ruin my time.

"Mina! I'm talking to you." Tzuyu raised her voice a bit.

"Haa?! What?!" I turn to her confused.

"I'm asking, are you going to homecoming?" Tzuyu asked.

"Nahh. That's not my thing." I said lay my head on my bad ready to flight to dreamland.

"But, Jihyo and Sana is going. You should come too." Tzuyu said pat my hand.

"We go because you forced us to go." Sana said.

"I don't mind though." Jihyo said eating her food.

"You always don't mind." Sana said pouting to Jihyo.

As they keep argue about they topic, my eyes couldn't take it anymore. So, I'm taking a flight to dreamland without getting them know. But, I was distract when someone nudge my side. Arghh. Who's dare to distract my wonderful sleep?

"Don't disturb me please. I need my nap time." I said a bit harsh to them.

But, still someone poke my cheek and my shoulder. This is getting annoyed. How much I love them, but no one can disturb my nap time.

"Urghhh." I groans as I turn my face to them and opened my eyes.

I was shocked as I opened my eyes and my reflect didn't help at all. I slap his face hard as I felt I'm going to fall from the chair. I quickly close my eyes as I'm ready to feel the impact but I didn't felt anything and I just felt someone grab my wrist before I fell.

"Are you okay?" He asked me with worried written on his face.

"Haa?! O-oh. I-I'm okay." I said stuttering and tried to compose myself.

I look at him and I can see his face red as I slap him hard just now. Again, my reflect didn't help at all. I went to him and cup his face look at him worried. Remember? I attempt to embarrassed myself? Here we go again.

"Are you okay? I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean to slap you. I'm just shocked. I'm sorry. That's just my reflect. It is hurt? God! What did I do? I'm-." I sound like I'm rapping said to him.

"Hey, hey. Breath Mina. Relax okay. I'm okay. I'm the one should apologise for shocked you. Didn't know your reflect so strong." Chaeyoung said hold my hand which is still cup his face.

Realise what I'm doing, I quickly pull away and look down to hide my red face. I can hear his chuckle. Stupid Mina. Stop embarrassed yourself.

"Ehem. I'm sorry for disturb you guys. I'm Son Chaeyoung." He said introduce himself to my friend.

"We know." Jihyo said smiling to him.

"Oh, okay. Mind if I joined you guys?" He asked.

"Of course not. We love too." Tzuyu said smiling widen.

Chaeyoung just sit beside me as he pull me to sit. He look at our table and have this confused face. He turn to me and I give a question face as I also look at him confused.

"Where is your lunch?" He asked.

"Mina always like this. She rather sleep than eat during lunch. But, after school she will eat like a monster because she's hungry." Jihyo answer his question.

"No wonder." He said nodded his head.

I just pout to Jihyo as she told him about my habit and secret. He stand up then when to cafe buying his lunch probably then walk to our table again. He put the tray full of fries and burger on the table. He take my bag and put it beside him and push the tray in front of me.

"Eat it. I know you won't say no to fries and burger." He said smiling showing his dimple to me.

"I'm not hungry." I said push back to him.

"I buy this for you okay. At least eat the fries. Please." He said pouting.

Oh My God! Did he just pout in front of me? Why he likes to torture me? Shoot!! I look around notice everyone was looking at us. Shoot! Why they look at me like that? I really don't like attention. I quickly take one fries and eat it with my face down. I can heard he chuckle. How dare he doing this to me? Arghh.

"Hmm, sorry. But, how did you and Mina know each other? No hurt, but Mina didn't talk much to anyone." Jihyo asked curious.

"Yeah, how do you know each other?" Tzuyu asked.

"Oh, she's my tutor. That's why I know her. Its been 3 weeks right?" Chaeyoung answer it taking a fries and eat it.

"Oh! Really? She never mention about her being a tutor." Tzuyu said looking at me.

I just fake smile to her. Shoot! I'm death. I forget I never mention anything to them. I know Tzuyu have a crush on Chaeyoung. She look so pissed on me. I just look away. I guess I need some explanation to do after this.

"Oh, really?" He asked shocked. But just shrugged it off.

Then, they continues having small talk. I didn't care about they talking about as I'm really sleepy right now. Most talking is Tzuyu and Chaeyoung while Jihyo and Sana just add when they should. While me, I didn't care to talk. Well, like I said I just don't like to talk.

Then, the bell ring and everyone ready go to the next class. I'm being sleepy and clumsy at the same time again attempt to fool myself by almost fell. I stand up my leg trip on the chair. I then felt someone wrap their arm around my waist to prevent me from fall. I heard the heart beat beating fast as my head lean in his chest. I quickly take a step away and making him pull his arm from my waist.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to- hmm, are you okay?" He said.

"Yeah. Thank you." I said almost whisper.

I just shake my head. Then, I see his face red and I look to his direction seeing Tzuyu holding his hand. Oh, he blushing as Tzuyu hold his hand. I get it. He like Tzuyu, that why his heart beating fast. I keep smiling seeing my friend like this. I just walk away leaving them having their moment.
