Strawberry Kisses

PART 34

Mina stared at her ceiling as she plopped herself in her bed after a long day in school.

She checked her phone to message her girlfriend but saw a notification from her IG. Mina bit her lower lip, contemplating if she'll open it. She knows it's from her sister.

She the rolled on the other side of her bed and started dialing.

"Hey. I was just about to call you." Chaeyoung greeted.

"Is that Mina? Tell her we miss her here!"

Mina laughed when she heard Seulgi.

"Tell her to come by for dinner sometimes." Irene added.

"Okay. Okay. Can I talk to her alone now?" Chaeyoung said. "Wait I'll just go to my room."

"Hi." Chaeyoung greeted again. "I'm sorry they're annoying."

"No, it's fine." Mina chuckled. "I guess you're not the only one who misses me, huh?"

"Yeah. I guess so." Chaeyoung said. "So.. What's up?"

"Hmm.. Byul unnie replied to my message." Mina said.

"Really?? Minari, that's great! What did she say?"

"Actually.."

"Don't tell me you haven't opened it yet?"

"Yah! That's why I called you.." Mina admitted. "I'm scared."

"Hey, I'm glad you called me. Put me on speaker." Chaeyoung said. "then check it. Don't worry, I'm just here."

"Okay.. I'm checking it now." Mina answered.

The call turned into silence. Chaeyoung gave Mina time to take in what her sister replied.

"Chaeng?"

"I'm still here." Chaeyoung replied. "So?"

"She said she wants to meet." Mina said. "I'm not sure if I'm ready."

"We will never be really ready until we make the first step. Which you already did." Chaeyoung said.

"C-can you come with me?" Mina responded.

"Ofcourse, I'll be happy to come with you if that's what you need." Chaeyoung smiled.

"Chaeng?"

"Hmm?"

"Nothing.. Thank you." Mina smiled. "I lo- Let's sleep now?"

"Oh. Okay. Good night, babe."

"Good night." Mina replied.

The call ended and Mina wiped the sweat formed in her forehead. She almost said it. Almost.

Mina let her body collapsed on her bed as she replies to her sister. She tried to clear her thought and fell asleep.

The sun was beaming through Chaeyoung's window causing her to roll herself on the other side of her bed. She groaned hearing the loud sound of her alarm. She immediately pick her phone up from her nightstand and looked at the time. "Ugh. It's still early."

She was about to go back in cradling her pillow when she remembered why she set her alarm early. Chaeyoung slowly began to sit as she rubs the sleep off her eyes.

Getting up, she can already smell the seaweed soup Irene is cooking. Chaeyoung went down and saw her unnies busy in the kitchen.

"You're early." Irene greeted.
