Dancing In The Rain

It's still a shock for Mina to know that Chaeyoung and Jeongyeon are step-sisters. It was the least she expected nor didn't even had a single thought about it. All Mina and their other friends knew is that they're childhood friends because that's what Chaeyoung and Dahyun are.

But when Chaeyoung explained why there's just a few who knows about it, she understood why they kept it hidden. Chaeyoung was just being considerate to follow Jeongyeon's request. Chaeyoung's family, specially her dad, is a well-known rich business man. Jeongyeon's mother is her second wife after Chaeyoung's mom died. Jeongyeon asked her to kept it secret because she doesn't want to gain attention, good or bad insights, and most specially that's what Chaeyoung's dad wanted too.

Chaeyoung said that her dad never really said that he doesn't want for other people to know that he has another daughter but all those business meetings and travels are enough proof that he's hiding Jeongyeon from them. It's always Chaeyoung who he brought along.

Mina knows that it was really hard for Chaeyoung to open up with this topic and so she's so glad that she did it to her. Even she's still hesitant, Chaeyoung still let Mina know about it. Now that Mina thinks about it, she could see that Chaeyoung really has a kind heart. For she accepted Jeongyeon as her real sister. They were really getting along well.

Except for that day when Mina saw them fighting. Unintentionally. Mina pondered that maybe the cause of Jeongyeon's reaction towards her and Chaeyoung's relationship is just her being a big sister for Chaeyoung and that she shouldn't dig deep into that.

Mina doesn't know if they already made up or not because Chaeyoung never brought up that topic again. When they're together, Chaeyoung is just the same, she's not bothered by anything at all. In fact, they're always happy they always enjoy being together. Everyday, Mina feels so loved by Chaeyoung that sometimes it feels surreal.

Sometimes, Mina wanted to ask Chaeyoung if she's okay or if her and Jeongyeon is okay but she doesn't want to sound nosy. But then, it doesn't take a genius to guess that they're still not okay when Mina hasn't seen Jeongyeon two days in a row now. Jeongyeon is not eating lunch with them.

"Baby, I'm sorry if I can't take you home today" Chaeyoung said as she walked Mina towards Sana's car.

It's Friday and their supposed afternoon class were canceled due to an urgent faculty meeting. It's also the reason why they all are happy because they can all go home early. If it's the normal Fridays, Mina and Chaeyoung would've been in Chaeyoung's condo right now, entangled in each other's arms. But today is an exception because Chaeyoung had to be gone for days again because of a business trip.

"It's okay. Just have a safe flight and keep me posted when you can, okay?"

"Of course. I will. I'll miss you again" Chaeyoung kissed her forehead and looked straight into Mina's eyes while caressing her face. "And I'm sorry.. if we can't spend our first month of being together. I'll make it up to you when I came back"

Mina smiled at her. A smile of assurance. "That's okay, baby. You know that I understand"

"Thank you, Mina" Chaeyoung then pulled her into a hug. "I'll do everything to make this as the last time that I'll be gone for a business trip, okay? Just wait for me. I love you. I really do"

"I love you, too, Chaeng" Mina then hugged her back, more tighter. "I will always wait for you"

Mina spent her weekend with her friends. She took it as a chance to also make up for them since Sana and Momo is already complaining of rarely seeing her in condo or during their sleepovers. She's keeping herself busy with them and her school stuff but Mina can't stay still whenever she thinks of Chaeyoung.
