Dancing In The Rain

"Happy 2nd anniversary, Mina, my baby!"

Mina smiled at that as they both pressed their faces to each other while Chaeyoung is back-hugging her. Mina caressed Chaeyoung's hands as it rested on her tummy. They were both swaying their bodies slowly while making the crashing of the waves as their slow music.

Despite of the fleeting moment they were feeling at that time. The peaceful calmness that everything that's surrounding them and each other's presence that they're getting. Mina couldn't deny the fact that it was yet an another hard and challenging year that was survived.

When she thought that their first year of being together was already hard, it was proven wrong by their time together during their second year. It wasn't just because of their own personal or relationship problems, it's also because of being a student.

They are both already a fourth year student and the schedule and school works became more hectic. And since just one more year and they're off to graduate, they really need to focus even more to pass this school year.

Mina and Chaeyoung became more stressed and grumpy. Their time for each other became less and less that sometimes, they don't even have the time to argue. They just sleep off every fights they had which they don't normally do. They were just both tired everyday and when the two of them should be each other's rest, the exact opposite always happens.

There was a time where it was near their mid-term exams and they had a huge fight. At that moment, Mina really thought that it's already the end. They haven't talked to each other for almost a whole week. And the reason was just mainly because Mina demanded for time. Just a single day yet, Chaeyoung was busy. As usual.

Mina got mad because for her it was just unfair that she's willing to give up her time for school even just for a day just to be with Chaeyoung because she misses her so much. But Chaeyoung can't do the same.

"Baby, can't we really go out? Just lunch then movie?"

Chaeyoung removed her gaze on her book to turn to look at Mina with an apologetic face.

"Mina, I already told you that I need to read this right?" She said while lifting the book a little.

"I know Chaeng, but-"

"Baby, look..." Chaeyoung held Mina's hand while caressing it softly. "God knows how much I wanted to spend time with you but you know that exams are near and I really need to study. And you need to, right?"

Mina sighed in disappointment. "Yeah right and I still chose to drop a few hours of studying to be with you. I can do it for you, you know? Can't you? Really?"

"Wait.. so are you blaming me for those wasted hours of yours? Mina, I didn't ask you to do this"

"What the hell? I didn't say that I'm blaming you, Chaeyoung!" Mina ran her hands through her hair. "All I'm saying is I wanted to be with you. You know what? I'll just go home. Continue studying and sorry for disturbing you"

Mina walked so fast to walk out of Chaeyoung's unit. She could hear Chaeyoung calling for her and she knows that she'll ran after her so Mina fasten her pace more.

"Mina, wait! Goodness can we talk?!"

But Mina shut her ears off and continued to the elevator. As the door closed, a single tear escaped her eyes. And that was the start of that almost a week long fight.

For the rest of the days, Mina buried herself on studying. Chaeyoung was even calling her from time to time but she won't answer it and even turned her phone off.
