Could Love be Hard as Math?

Chapter 38

Chaeyoung POV

The door swings open to reveal Mina with her cute penguin pyjamas. She seems shocked to see me here as I supposedly get ready for Winter Formal. But, here I am standing in front of her door with black box in my hand. Thinking about that, I seriously don't want to go if not with Mina. But, after seeing Jihyo with heavy heart I accept when Tzuyu asked me.

Flashback

"Chaeyoung, can we talk for a while?" Jihyo asked.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Hmm, I don't know how to say this." She said sigh.

"This lunch, Tzuyu will be ask you out to go with her for this Winter Formal. Can't you give her a chance?" She said.

Again, Tzuyu. What is this all about? Why they all want me to go out with Tzuyu this much? I just don't get it.

"What? What's all this about? Even you ask me to go out with Tzuyu." I said a bit irritating.

"Ha? Who's else ask you to go out with Tzuyu?" Jihyo asked confused.

"Your friend, Mina. She doesn't stop to match me with Tzuyu. Since, the welcoming. I told her already that I didn't feel the same thing as Tzuyu. But, she keep asking me to give a chance." I said sigh.

"Oh, that's the reason I want you to give Tzuyu a chance. I can't bare to see Mina being accused anymore. I bet you know what's going on between Mina and us." She said.

"What's really happened actually Jihyo?" I asked curious.

"As you know, Tzuyu likes you. She asked Mina to help her with you. But, I know you don't have feeling towards Tzuyu but Mina. Everyone can see that. But, being ego and whatever, Tzuyu can't accept that. That's when rumours been spread. I feel so hopeless, that I can defend my friend. Just this I can help her. Please Chaeyoung." She said.

"Hmm, I will think about it." I replied.

End of flashback

"Hey." I said.

"Hey." She greet me back.

"I need help with my tie." Showing her the tie which is slung over my shoulder.

"I see." She replied.

"Who is it?" Her dad calls from the kitchen.

"Chaeyoung." She holler back.

"He needs help with something. So, I will be back in a few minutes." She add and turn back to me.

"Not to be rude, but you look mess." She said pointing at me.

"I don't know. I wasn't really trying to look nice. Its just a boring dance." I said shrugs and sighs bitterly.

"Come on." She drag me upstairs in a sudden rush of excitement.

I sits on her bed and she hand Cuddle to me. Immediately, I starts to pet Cuddle as I really love him. I watches her in confusion as she shuffle through her closet. After a while, she manage to yank out a large shirt in men's size. She toss it into the bed, next to me.

"Change into this." She instruct.

"Whatever you said." I confused but agrees. Without hesitation, I starts to unbutton my shirts.

"Wait!" She yell while covering her eyes with her hands.

"Wait until I'm out of the room!" She said annoyed.

"What? Its not like you haven't seen me shirtless before." I said chuckle still shuffling of my shirt.

"Still-hmm-well-its just weird to take off your shirt in front of me okay?" She argue.
