Behind the Mask

First Time

"Nice meeting you, Mina unnie." Somi smiled at Mina. "I'm Jeon Somi."

***Flashback***

After Professor Myoui got the copy of the video, she met up with Jihyo.

"I knew it, you'd make her give it to you. You're not called Snow Queen for nothing."

"Park Jihyo."

"Yes, Prof?"

"Who's Somi?"

"Why did you ask?"

"She was the reason why Son Chaeyoung got bullied."

"Oh yeah...Are you asking who is she or her connection with Chaeyoung?"

"Just answer me."

"I don't really know her well. I just know her because she was once a topic in my former school. Chaeyoung and Somi were pretty close back then that's why I thought they were just best friends but Somi made an announcement saying they were dating. I also heard Somi said that Chaeyoung was her girlfriend and Chaeyoung was the one who pursued her. But after that incident, I have never seen them two together. I wonder if it's true or not."

***End of Flashback***

"Chaeyoung-ah..."

"Chaeyoung-ah?! Why would she call Chaeyoung that way? So they are that close...tsss."

"How does it taste?" Somi asked after she fed Chaeyoung. She then looked at Mina. "Want some, Minariii?"

"Minari?! Yah! Don't call her that way! Don't you know that she's a professor? Besides, she's older than you, show some respect!"

"Ok...ok... Unniee..."

"So uhm Minari...Somi will be using my room...Uhm she'll be staying there." Chaeyoung said as she entered Mina's room

"Uhmm ok."

"Uhm... Can I uhmm..."

"No!" Mina said in a slightly high pitched voice.

"Uh... I see." Chaeyoung then left the room.

Mina was in her study room doing some paper works. She decided to take a break and went out of the study room to get some water.

"What's taking her so long?" She murmured while pouring water into the glass. "Should I go to her room and help her with her stuff? Geez, she's not even moving to another house."

Mina went upstairs and barged in in Chaeyoung's room. She saw her sitting on her bed together with Somi. Their faces were too close.

"Son. Chaeyoung." Mina said in her usual cold voice.

"M-Minari..."

"What are you doing?"

"Oh...uhm I-I was just ---" Somi was cut by Mina.

"I'm not talking to you." Mina said bluntly. "Where are your stuffs?"

"S-stuffs?"

Mina grabbed Chaeyoung's hand and dragged her into Mina's room.

"So is that why you took so long, Son Chaeyoung?"

"Took so long to what? Wait, are you angry?" Chaeyoung asked and Mina let go of her hands.

"I said no earlier, remember?"

"No?" She asked perplexedly.

"You asked me if you can sleep with her and I said no!" Mina raised her voice in annoyance.

"I did? Oh..." She exclaimed as if she remembered something. "But I was asking you if I could sleep here, with you and you said no without letting me finishing my sentence."

"Is that so?" Mina asked and looked down to avoid eye contact with Chaeyoung as she was embarrassed.

"Yeah. Were you jealous?"

"J-jealous? Who me? O-of course not!" Mina slightly raised her voice in denial. Chaeyoung went closer to Mina and pinched her cheeks.

"Gwi yeo wo. Tss... Do you intend to make me fall for you with your cuteness, Minari?" Mina's face turned red after Chaeyoung said those.

"W-what are you talking about?" Mina walked out but Chaeyoung grabbed her right hand. She went closer and hug her from behind.

"I wanna kiss you right now, but your back is too comforting."

"It's my first time...to blush and to feel that...jealousy."
