Behind the Mask

Drunk in You

"Minariii..." Somi said as Mina entered the kitchen. Mina just gave her a sharp stare. "Oh uhmm u-unnie... Do you want some?"

Mina passed by Somi and went to the stove to cook her breakfast. After a while, Chaeyoung entered the kitchen.

"Chaengiee..." Somi called Chaeyoung excitedly which made Mina glared at her.

"Chaeyoungiiiee, wanna try?" Mina asked and offered her a spoonful of fried rice.

"Aren't you allergic to shrimps?" Somi asked Chaeyoung after she saw a shrimp in the spoon.

"N-o... No. Not really." Chaeyoung immediately ate the fried rice that Mina offered.

"So... Since it's weekend why don't we have a bit of fun?" Somi asked the two with an excited voice.

"Is she always this loud?" Mina asked at the back of her head.

"I can't, I've got paperwork to do." She said in her usual cold voice.

"Chaengiiee?"

"Chaengiee?! Why does she keep on calling her that way?! So annoying."

"Uhm yeah sure... What are we gonna do?"

"The usual?"

"What's the usual?" Mina asked with an intrigued voice. "Oh, I think I'm almost done with my paperwork. I could use some fun."

"Minari? I thought you don't like fun activities?" Chaeyoung asked with a shocked and worried voice.

"Yeah, I mean..." Mina looked at the neck of Chaeyoung and gulped. "W-what's that?" She asked worriedly.

"Where?"

"There!" Mina pointed at the red spot on her skin.

"Chaengiee..." Somi said and focused on the rushes on Chaeyoung's skin. "Aigoo...you said you're not allergic to shrimps...look at this rushes tsk what a hard-headed! Wait there let me get you medicine."

"Are you ok?" Mina asked her, worried. Chaeyoung nodded as a response.

"I'm fine, it's just itchy."

"Why did you eat it if you're allergic?" Mina asked with a slightly high tone. Chaeyoung pouted.

"It's because you rarely do it. I don't want to miss a chance. Seems like you're getting better w---"

"Chaengiee here take this." Somi handed Chaeyoung a tablet and she started applying some ointment to Chaeyoung's skin.

"Why is Minari not coming out of her study room? Is she that busy? I haven't seen her all day. After my rushes showed up, she just disappeared without saying a word." Chaeyoung sighed and pouted. "Should I go inside and check her? Eiii I might disturb her. Ahhhh whatever, I'm coming in."

Chaeyoung went inside Mina's study room but she was not there.

"Eh? She's not here? Where is she then?"

She went downstairs to look for Mina but she's nowhere to be found. So she went back to Mina's room.

"This is weird... She barely gets out of her room but she's not home... Where could she be? Should I text her?"

Where are you Minari? Are you out?

Chaeyoung texted her but she didn't get a reply so she dialled her number but someone barged in.

"Oh, Chaeyoungiee you're calling me!" Mina said with a shocked voice.

"Are you ok?" Chaeyoung asked her worried but Mina went straight to bed and sat there.

"I'm fine. Are you worried about me?"

Chaeyoung went beside the bed.

"What's wrong with you? You're acting weird!"

"Chaengieee" Mina called Chaeyoung with excitement. "What a cute nickname. Huh, I should be the one calling you that! I should be the only one calling you cute names."

Chaeyoung frowned and smiled shyly.

"Son Chaeyoung!" Mina exclaimed with an angry tone. "Don't let anyone call you with cute names... Aish... It's annoying! She's annoying!"

Chaeyoung leaned towards Mina but Mina laid down the bed.

"Are you drunk?" Chaeyoung asked and sniffed Mina's clothes.

"

I didn't drink any alcohol."

Mina caressed Chaeyoung's face. She just stared at her face and smiled.

"Yeppeu."  Mina said with a wide smile. "Aish... Can you hide your face for me? I don't want anyone to see you. Can you be pretty just for me?"

Chaeyoung turned red.

"It's weird..."

"Yah! Can you?"

"Ok ok... I'll be pretty just for you, Minari. But are you sure you didn't drink?"

"I told you I didn't!"

"Yeah, you don't smell alcohol....but you're acting like you are... You're too cute to handle now." Chaeyoung giggled. Mina wrapped her arms around Chaeyoung's shoulder and pulled her which caused them to hug in an awkward position. Chaeyoung's face is on Mina's chest.

"I didn't really drink anything I swear but right now... I feel drunk... I'm drunk in you, Chaeyoungie."
