Long chapter ahead...

::"I distance myself from people for a reason." ::

"Chaengie! What took you so long!" Mina pouted her bottom lip while sulking and leaning on the door frame with the back of her hand raising to her forehead, "I've been standing here for a decade!"

"Oh cut the drama, penguin. Come in." Chaeyoung rolled her eyes playfully and swung open the door wide, welcoming the dramatic penguin in. Mina jokingly scoffs at the cub who's not appreciating her acting skills. Chuckled and waddles in the door, taking off her shoes while making her way straight to the kitchen without the need of asking the cub. After having a couple of stayovers, you can say Mina is already familiar with the cub's residence. Going through every room knowing where everything is been put as if here is her house. "What brings you here at this hour? And how did you get here? Last time I check, you still haven't got your car."

"You are out of cola?"

"Yeah well you drank it all during your last stayover- Wait, don't change the topic Minari, you might get in danger coming here this late on your own! Please don't tell me you rode a taxi here."

"Geez, chill your ass down Simba. I asked Sana to give me a ride since she went back to our place and grabbed something with Dahyun which is... weird? Anyways, don't tell Jihyo by the way, I practically sneak out when she's having a shower, just so I can spend more time with you and not a singing marathon hell with her." Mina said while chewing on the snacks Chaeyoung bought for her last time so she won't be starving at midnight and craving different foods. While on the other side, Chaeyoung who's now fluttering over what Mina said, that the penguin wants to spend more time with her. It was just a simple sentence seeming meaningless, but enough to make the cub's heart blossoms, smiling like an idiot. "Chaeyoung? Hey?" Mina waves her hand in front of the cub when she finds her in a daze, which Chaeyoung is doing more often than before these days.

"H-huh Oh! Sorry, I was just... thinking," Chaeyoung nervously said, "About my assignment." Wishing the penguin won't find it weird and gladly Mina is too focus on eating her snacks which she wasn't really paying attention to the cub's tone. "So you are staying over?"

"Yup, but all the carbonated drinks are out." Mina pouted again, sad that there's nothing to drink for the night. Chaeyoung chuckled at the sight of Mina sulking over a cola. Then penguin is always acting this small and cute when it's just the two of them, and Chaeyoung finds it very amusing and fluttering at the same time that Mina would act such differently just with her, saving all her cuteness to the cub only.

"I'll just head to 7-eleven downstairs and get some. You can watch some TV when I'm out okay?"

"You are baby talking me again."

"Because you are. My baby." The abrupt statement made Mina blushed out of control. Chaeyoung doesn't know either where she gets the courage to blurt out such words. Maybe it's because of the adrenaline inside her that's rising once she saw Mina, or the excitement she can't constrain whenever the Japanese appear before her. "Right, Imma head down now. Don't open the door for strangers okay? I'm taking the keys, so just chill, make yourself at home. Technically, it's your second home already. Okay bye."

Chaeyoung tried to restrain her overwhelming self and act calm but her stupid mouth isn't helping at all. It tends to blurt out nonsense like that whenever she gets extremely nervous or overwhelmed by her own actions. To prevent any other more embarrassing acts, the cub quickly went out the door, leaving a Mina who's still flustered about what just happened in this short period of time.
