Could Love be Hard as Math?

Chapter 8

Mina POV

"Can't you go to homecoming with your friends? You don't need a date." I suggest.

My eyes keeping down on the imaginary math problem I'm trying to solve. We currently at Chaeyoung house and like always his mother and his sister is not at home. So, just two of us. I can see Chaeyoung is taken back from my sudden mention of homecoming. I can see he look at me in the corner of his eyes. I try my best to keep looking at my math journal.

"Since when you become talkative?" He said tap his pen on his chin like he been thinking.

"What?" I said look at him.

"Nothing." He chuckle.

"Hmm, about your suggestion. Its definitely no for me. What? You want me to be third wheel all of my friends? They have dates you know." He chuckles again. Of course they do.

"What about Tzuyu? You can go with her, you know." I blurt out. Then I gulp.

"And why is that? You always mention about Tzuyu. You really want me to date your friend? What if things go wrong between us? You know my address. So you could easily assassinate me. How am I supposed to know you won't teach me wrong things and sabotage my math tests?" He said looking at me.

He's right. Things would be so weird. But, I can't give up yet. For Tzuyu. Tzuyu wants this so bad. I take a deep breathe.

"Easy, don't let things go wrong." I simply said to him.

"Easy for you to said. You're never dated before." He said continue doing his work.

I whip my head up. Ready to protest that he would think I have been single my whole life. My mouth opens, but I close it again. He's really read me correctly. The concept of dating has never existed in my universe. And it probably never exist. I look down back as I continue my work.

"I was right aren't I? Dang, I was just teasing you. You really don't dated before?" He laughs and my cheek burn.

I should have just lied and made up the story. This is so embarrassed. I quickly change the subject.

"Why are you so hung up on that girl anyways? Its not like you guys are dating. You could just ask out another girl?" Damn. You are stupid Mina.

Why would I suggest he ask out another girl? Your mission is wants him to ask Tzuyu not another girl. What if he ends up going with someone else besides Tzuyu. Its going to be all my fault.

"I don't know. I really like this girl." He said slowly.

"She's different. To me she's special." He add smiling like an idiot. There's an awkward pause.

"Wow, I totally mistook you for a player. Didn't know you are Romeo. Wow just wow." I said clapping my hand laughing.

"Hey, stereotyping people isn't nice you know. Well, to be fair I mistook you for being smart. But, you are denser than I thought." He said pointed to me.

Dense? How am I being dense? Chaeyoung saw my confused face and continues.

"The fact you don't get what I'm talking about proves you are dense. I love to hear you talking to me, but I think this is not the best topic for you to talk more." He said shaking his head smiling.

What the hell? Am I dense? What's he means by that? Arghh. I really don't like it when I'm don't get it what he said. Should I ask him? Nahh, he will teasing me none stop after this.

Today is the day Tzuyu and others students been waiting for. Its homecoming. Until now, Chaeyoung didn't ask Tzuyu and I keep been avoid and lied her about this. I just hope this will be end soon. Now, I'm and my friend at Tzuyu's house to get ready for homecoming. I help Jihyo to put some make up on her. I basically know how to put a make up but I don't like it to put on my face. Sana and Tzuyu is an expert with make up. So, I don't need to help them.
