Could Love be Hard as Math?

Chapter 59

Mina POV

Then, she walked alongside Chaeyoung, endless spewing facts about every animal we passed. I would lying if I said I wasn't annoyed. She walked in close proximity making it impossible for me to cut in. However, I managed to catch some of their conversation.

"You must have worked here for a long time. That's a lot of stuff to memorise." Chaeyoung points out.

"Not really. I'm actually a volunteer here. Its look good on my college applications. Once I finish high school. I'm going to study to be a marine biologist." She explain.

What the heck? She's in high school? Seriously? She looked so mature, I thought she was a college student or something. Shoot! I really feel annoyed right now as they keep talking about something that I don't interested. Am I even on a date anymore? How did I suddenly become a third wheel?

"Here we are." She points to penguin area. Even I love penguin so much as I love Cuddle, I lost all interest.

"What's wrong? Don't you like penguin?" Chaeyoung turns around to check on me.

"I'm going to the bathroom for a bit." I said.

Chaeyoung just nods, slightly confused by my sudden lack of enthusiasm.

Before I explode like a bomb, I needed to splash myself with some water. It may seem counter intuitive to leave the two of them alone but I need to. As I going back to Chaeyoung, a boy running crush on me.

"Oh my god. Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah." He weakly replied.

Then, a woman come to us and apologise to me as her kid running to me. I just said its okay then they walk away. I head back to find Chaeyoung, until I realised something. My entire shirt was smeared with ice cream the entire time. No wonder people kept giving me a strange looks. Finding a the nearest bathroom, I attempt to wipe it off with a wet paper towel. But, it still left a giant dark spot on the front of my shirt when I walked out. Chaeyoung stopped his conversation with the girl and ran up to me as he saw me.

"What took you to long? I was getting worried." He sighs.

"What happened to your shirt?" His eyes widened seeing my shirt.

"A kid running with ice cream happened." I laugh.

Soon, the girl walked up to us.

"Ready to keep going?" She asked a bit impatient.

"You can go ahead and help other people. We will just look around. Chaeyoung suggests keeping his eyes on my stomach.

"I don't mind." She said to Chaeyoung.

"Its fine, really." Chaeyoung replied.

"Don't worry. Its my pleasure." She said smiling to Chaeyoung.

She's really stubborn. She's getting me annoyed. Realising she wasn't going to leave, Chaeyoung didn't insist in it anymore.

"Wait here okay. I gotta go get something really fast." He pats my shoulder and jogs off somewhere, leaving me awkwardly standing there with her.

"You guys seem like really close friends." She comments still looking the way Chaeyoung go.

"We're dating actually." I replied.

"Oh, sorry." She laugh.

"Its because he patted your shoulder. Seems like a thing friends would do." She said underlying tones of malice.
