Could Love be Hard as Math?

Chapter 44

Mina POV

I don't know how, but here I am at new years parties when basically I really hate party. As we walk inside, people start to offer some drink to us. Yes, we. Tzuyu was the one who insist me to go to this party as Jihyo and Sana go for dated. She went to my house to make sure I agree and even wait for me to get ready. She also get ready at my house as she said it more easy and she borrow some my thing that I don't even know I have.

"What do you want?" Tzuyu turn asked me.

"I'm good." I replied.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah, hmm but Tzuyu.. don't tell me there's alcohol?" I asked curious.

"Of course there is. A bunch of teens aren't going to gather to drink juice boxes." She laugh.

"I don't think being here is a good idea. How about we just go and eat." I said a bit uncomfortable.

"Oh come on Mina. We already here. It will be waste." She drags me to kitchen and takes out two cans of beer.

She handing me one while she already open one and gulp the beer. I have never gone to party with her, so I never witnessed her doing rebellious things. To me, she was a perfect girl, perfect angel. In reality, no one is. But what about Son Chaeyoung? I try to shake my thought thinking about him. Luckily, my attention is diverted when Tzuyu pulls me into basement where various people are playing pool, games or just casually longing around.

"Who's house is anyways?" I asked Tzuyu.

"Jackson. You know him right?"

I gulp as I hear his name. No wonder I had bad feeling when I arrived. I really feel uneasy. Lets pray, everything was okay.

"Want to play truth or dare?" Tzuyu points to a circle of people on the corner.

Memories the awful game during winter break flashes back into my head. I immediately reject her invitation.

"I'm going to get some fresh air. You can go ahead and play." I said.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah, I will text you if I can't find you." I said.

"Okay then." She said and walk to the circle.

I dodge the cluster of people and get lost a few time in the sea of bodies before I find the front door. Once outside, a rush of relief settles in me and I make myself a seat on the sidewalk. Bored, I lift the can I bring with me but sigh as I realise it not a soda. I pull out my phone and look at me the food photo that I imagine I'm eating right now. My concentration on food broken when I hear a someone voice seem yell for help. I sigh and started to being nervous. Should I go or should I leave? Being taught of responsible, I find the source of voice. Once I found the source I'm shocked as I see one girl been pinned on the floor by two guy.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" I shouted at them.

As they turn I'm shocked seeing Jackson and Jb. The girl on the floor quickly went behind me crying.

"Help me. Please." Its Momo. She whisper to me as she cling to my arms fear.

"Hmm, are you okay Momo? Can you run?" I asked whisper to her.

"Huh?" She confused.

"When I count until three, just run. Don't look back. Find someone help. Okay?" I said to her.

"But-." I cut her.

"No but. Listen to me okay?" I said.

I can see she's scared but nodded. Then, I start count and she start run as fast as she can while I hold Jackson and Jb from catches her. I don't know that my strength was this incredible as I manage to stopped them.
