Bad Habits ✅

31

Before driving, Chaeyoung talked with Nayeon on her phone. She told her cousin that she'll need to rest due to the doctor's advice, she basically lied just to spend time with Mina, her girlfriend.

"What about Jihyo? Will she agree?" Chaeyoung concerned, while eyes are focused on the road.

Chaeyoung insisted on bringing Mina back to the girl's place, she already discussed about the rescheduled fashion show, meaning.. no work for her girl today. But Mina strongly refused, said that she doesn't want to go back to her apartment. She willingly chose to stay at Chaeyoung's instead.

Mina stared at the car window beside her, "She doesn't need to know." she uttered, almost a whisper.

Chaeyoung frowns. She finds it odd, why should Jihyo doesn't have to know?

"Do you want this to be the first and last day of us together, and be my first ex girlfriend?" Chaeyoung joked again, and Mina was.. confused, again.

Mina faced Chaeyoung, and the latter could feel the puzzled reaction Mina was making.

"What do you mean?" The girl asked.

Chaeyoung sighed, thinking if Mina hasn't noticed how intimidating Jihyo is. "Are you forgetting that your unnie is one heck of a woman?"

Mina smiled, "You sound so terrified of her." still not taking her gaze off the latter driving.

Although Chaeyoung didn't see Mina smiling, she can sense that the girl is making fun of her by just the tone of her voice. So she went with it, even though she's really saying the truth.

"Cause i am! I won't lie, but that's exactly what I'm feeling, and i don't wanna die yet." Chaeyoung exaggerated.

"Now, you're overreacting." Mina giggled, Chaeyoung finds it amusing.

"No i'm not. it's just because I'm still young.. Mina. I have a long list of the things that i want, and let me tell you this.. you're at the top of it." She shamelessly said, maybe Mina's giggles could boost her boldness.

Mina closed her eyes with a grin formed on her lips.

"That's nonsense, I'm yours already."

Then Mina caressed Chaeyoung's thigh.

Chaeyoung gulped. "Change of plans, Jihyo doesn't need to know. I'll let her hunt me down, assassinate me, shoot me, or- I'll let her take me already! I don't want it here, You're are crazy!"

Just by Mina's small gestures, melted her whole existence like butter. It's not a surprise anymore, Mina sure could boost any part of her system.

"See, you overreacted." Mina said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"But seriously, Jihyo needs to at least know that you're with me. She's with you all the time, she'll worry about you if you won't tell her." Chaeyoung's other hand have letten go of the steering wheel and placed it over Mina's stroking hand above her thigh instead.

"I can't, and i don't want to. We're not in good terms." Mina withdraws her hand, she kept it to herself by crossing her arms.

Mina suddenly recalled what happened to them yesterday, that's the first big argument they had in years of living together in that apartment.

"You two.. fought?" Chaeyoung asked, ignoring Mina's hand leaving her touch. It stings a bit, but she have to understand what Mina is into... or they'll never work.

"Yeah, and she's really mad at me, i don't want to add fuel to it." But Mina's statement didn't stopped Chaeyoung to ask more questions. She feels like she has to, she needs to.
