The Untold

Chapter 1

As soon as the cab started moving, and as the driver turned on the radio to choose the music that matches his taste, Mina let her back collapsed to the well worn seat as she looked outside the window, inhaling the nostalgia of being back in Gwangju.

"You don't have a lot with you, are you not going to stay here that long?" the driver asked.

"Oh, no. I'm just visiting a friend." Mina answered politely but prayed to heaven the driver won't ask her questions anymore.

Luckily, the driver just nodded and gave her a smile, making her sigh in relief. Feeling dizzy, she slowly closed her eyes promptly rubbing her temple. Freaking jetlag.

Just when the throbbing on her head subsided, her phone rang. Great. She hisses under her breath as she grabs her phone.

"Minaaa! Where are you now?" a cheery voice of a woman on the other line asked. "Wait- You didn't change your mind about going right?"

"No, silly." Mina laughed weakly. "I'm on a cab now. I'm almost there."

"Great!" The woman squealed. "She said she's almost here!" she added, her voice seemed far from the phone.

The corner of Mina's lips lifted up hearing the familiar noices from the other line. "Is that Dahyun?"

"Yeah. She's -"

Nayeon wasn't able to finish her sentence when Mina heard Dahyun's enthusiastic voice. "Mina! You're really coming? Ah! I can't wait to see you. Momo said hi."

"Eh? She's already there?" Mina asked, surprised. During their high school days, Momo was never on time.

"Yeah, and Sana too." Nayeon answered, "Anyways we're waiting for you so tell the driver to hurry up."

"No, I won't tell him that." Mina laughed. "Just hang on there."

"Of course! Call me when you're at the front gate, okay?"

"I will, Nayeon. See you." Mina smiled, before ending the call.

Soon, she found her self staring at the Im's medium-sized house. The design is exactly how she remembered it. She stared the gate for ages, not knowing whether she'd push the door bell or not.

The dizziness she felt a while back turned into something she can't quite explain. She's feeling nervous. Worrying about the unknown of coming back to this town after six years.

If it weren't for Nayeon and Jeongyeon's wedding, she wouldn't in a million years, would go back.

Mina left Korea and went back to Japan for college right after their high school graduation. During that time, that's the best thing to do. Leaving Korea is the only solution she thought she had to heal herself.

"Are you planning to go inside or are you just going to stand here like a creep?" a squeaky voice suddenly appeared from behind, making Mina jump.

"Oh. Jihyo." Mina exhaled, holding her chest. "You scared me."

"Sorry." Jihyo laughed. "Now what? Go inside or freeze here to death?"

"I'd rather not die here." Mina giggled. "So yeah. Go inside."

Jihyo flashed Mina a wide and satisfied smile before grabbing the latter's baggage. "Let me carry this." she said.

Mina can't help but form a smile looking at behind Jihyo who's carrying her baggage with struggle. Jihyo hasn't changed, she thought to herself. She's still that selfless and caring person she was six years ago. Someone who always take care of Mina and their friends.

Mina inhaled deeply, preparing herself to see the people who were once her home, and despite not seeing each other regularly, is still her home.

"Guess who's here!" Jihyo said proudly, as they entered the house. "After freaking years, she's back!"

"Minaaaa!" Jeongyeon yelled, sprinting towards Mina with her long arms wide open, ready to squeeze the latter. "I missed you!"

"Don't listen to her, I missed you more!" Dahyun protested, joining the hug. That soon became a group hug composed of seven girls, almost squeezing the life out of Mina's body.

"Okay! I get it! You missed me!" Mina yelled laughingly but considering her soft voice, she's sure only one out of seven heard her. "Now let me go!"

When her friends let go, all gasping for air, she looked around, counting and sighed in relief. She's not here. Good.

"Now that Mina-chan's here" Momo cleared her throat. "Can we eat already? I'm this close to dying from hunger." she added, holding up her index and thumb almost touching each other, making everybody laugh.

Yeah. Things are still the same. Their physical features matured beautifully, yes. But they're all still the same silly high school students they were everytime they're together.

"You have money. You own a dancing school, how come you haven't get your stomach checked by a doctor?" Nayeon sassed. "I swear you're always hungry."

It is true that they've waited for Mina to arrive before eating, they don't want her to eat alone. So after the banter between Momo and Nayeon, they all went to the dining area, with lots of foods lining in the middle of the long table.

"Jokbal!!" Momo squealed. "I know you love me, Nayeon!"

"Wrong. She only loves herself." Tzuyu added, putting food in her plate.

"And me." Jeongyeon added.

"Says who?" Nayeon giggled. "Who says I love you, Yoo Jeongyeon?"

Jeongyeon glared at her fiancé, adding courage to Nayeon to tease her more. Teasing that ended with flirting.

"Yah! Perverts. Stop kissing in front of my salad!" Jihyo said deadpan, "You're literally getting married in a week"

"Come on, Jihyo. You know how they both can't keep their hands to themselves." Sana laughed. "Just let them."

"Like you can keep your hands to yourself when it comes to Tzuyu" Nayeon rebutted, before munching her food.

"What can I do?" Sana smirked. "I have the most beautiful girlfriend."

Mina looked at their playful remarks and her gaze landed to Tzuyu who didn't say a word about what Sana said, trying to keep her cool but her red cheeks betrayed her.

"You're blushing, Tzu." Mina teased, making Tzuyu cover her face.

"How I miss you girls annoying each other." Mrs. Im suddenly appeared, bringing soup to the table. "This house has never been this loud for six years without you girls."

"Did you cook all of this, aunty?" Dahyun asked. "All of it taste so good."

"Yeah, aunty. The jokbal is delicious." Momo added, putting more meat on her plate.

"I'm glad you all liked it." Mrs. Im smiled, her eyes wandered around the table, remembering the last time she saw each of the girls. "Oh, before I forgot." she said firmly, making the girls looked at her intently.

Nayeon pursed her lips, having a bad feeling about what her mother would say.

"Did they found Chaeyoung?"
