Chapter 3: The First Step
.........
"What are you thinking, Y/N?" Mina asks you.
You are now aware of your condition. You go back in time whenever you made a mistake.
You know what you had to do to stop the rewind.
Save, Im Nayeon.
Yes. That's what you had to do. Think. How do you save an idol, that's completely impossible to get a chance to talk to them?
But...
You look down to watch your hands and think in frustration.
ーWhat do Nayeon and I have any connection for me to go back in time every time she dies?
It doesn't make sense. It felt like something has set you under heavy control. If you don't want to go back in time, you'll have no choice but to take action.
To do that.....
"Y/N?" Mina tilts her head.
You take a deep breath and smile, "Alright! I feel better than expected. Minari,"
"You seem to be in a good mood. It's been a while since you call me by that name," She says, a little bit confused and lost.
"Well, duh! I'm happy I get to be with you!" A thumbs up was all you could gesture to Mina.
"Ah! That's my line! Take it back! I should be the one to say it," Her response was not quite what you expected, though you should've seen it coming. She looks very cute when she is upset.
"What's the use of my mouth I can't say what I want to say?" You joke, shrugging a little.
"But this is my first time hearing it! Are you really happy being my friend?" Mina asks and you had proceeded to take your legs to ramen restaurant as she follows to your side.
"Of course! Why wouldn't I be? You're cute, so cute, so cute, so cute, and nice!" You say.
"That makes me feel... embarrassed," Mina's face is flushed, getting all shy after hearing all the compliments from you.
ーI've always wanted to say this to Mina. She is precious to me. She deserves this. I said all things that I could, and Mina needs to hear it.
"I'm kinda hungry, want to grab something to eat?" You ask.
"Wanna eat some ramen?" Mina asks.
"Hmm, I don't feel like eating ramen again..."
You had arrived at the ramen restaurant and saw the girl with thick glasses, sitting in front facing the restaurant.
"I'll buy some tteokbokki that I saw way back if that's fine," Mina smiles.
"Yeah, that's enough. I'll wait for you. I'll buy us drinks," You suggest.
"That's a good idea," Mina nods and so she had to turn around to buy street food.
You were thankful the bench that the girl had taken a seat was next to the vending machine and that's where you're going to buy.
You're probably thinking that this girl, who is an anti fan of Nayeon may have something to do with the incident.
"Can I sit?" You ask after getting the drinks on the dispenser.
"I don't mind." She sounds cold and scary but none of that fazed you, as you didn't hesitate to sit beside her.
"Mind if I ask but what do you think of super idol Nayeon?"
