The Untold

Chapter 15

It is true that once you love someone deeply, they'll become a part of you.

Mina is looking at that someone that became part of her, enjoying the strawberry ice cream she bought last night. It's crazy how such tiny body can hold so much strength over her. Chaeyoung is feeling better now than yesterday, and Mina can easily tell that by the way the shorter girl laugh at a silly TV show.

Despite that, Mina can't brought the questions in her head. Chaeyoung isn't really talking that much and she takes this as the latter doesn't feel like talking yet. 

Suddenly, the door bell rang, making Chaeyoung jump on her seat. 

Mina instantly check the girl sitting next to her, "I think it's them." she smiled. Mina already told Chaeyoung that their friends will visit her so that it will not be overwhelming for the latter when they arrive. Chaeyoung gave her a nod before digging back on her ice cream.

"Hey." Mina smiled at the two person she first saw when she opened the door. "You brought strawberries?"

"She can't refuse to this." Dahyun replied, proudly before setting foot inside Mina's house. "Where is she?"

"Watching at the living room." Mina said, closing the door behind. 

In spite of the happiness they're all feeling after seeing Chaeyoung once again, they all can't hide the sadness they also feel inside seeing how thin the shorter girl became. Chaeyoung gave them a smile, allowing her dimples to be shown and Mina looked away in hope that her thoughts would go away if she do so. Why does she looks so cute and adorable? She cussed under her breath.

They all spent their time eating and chatting about random things. Everything feels normal. Even without participating or giving out thoughts, Chaeyoung laughed and smiled whenever something funny would come up. For the girls, that's enough. They've been very careful not to bring out the fire accident, just like what Sana told them. 

"When you two get married who will cook?" Jihyo asked, out of nowhere. Her question got Nayeon thinking. She doesn't know how to cook and neither does Jeongyeon, that question really threw her off.

"Well neither of us can cook." Nayeon started, putting her index finger on her chin. "So I guess we'll just settle for takeouts and deliveries." 

"I can cook!" Jeongyeon protested, she stood up as if her life depends on her answer. "I'll cook for us!"

Nayeon was about to remind Jeongyeon why she can't cook when Dahyun pulled Jeongyeon's shirt, "No, Jeong you can't!" she objected, making the other girls die from laughter when they remember what happened during their home room class when Jeongyeon told their teacher not to eat what she prepared and just look at it.

"You really can't Jeong!" Jihyo laughed, "You're worse than terrible."

"Yah! I can!" Jeongyeon insisted.

"You can't. Do you want me to remind you that one home room class incident?" Momo grinned.

"What's the outside is not important." Tzuyu mimicked what Jeongyeon said to their teacher, "What's inside is important." she added before bursting into laughter.

Jeongyeon pouts as she accepts her defeat while going back to her seat.

"Oh? Why did you put down your chopsticks?" Nayeon asked. "Lift it up!"

"there's no meat." Jeongyeon answered. She's sure Momo already ate the last piece.

"Lift it up there's still meat!" Nayeon insisted, making Jeongyeon scan the table but to her dismay, she didn't find any.

"I'm here." Nayeon smirked, pointing at herself.

"Yah!" Momo laughed, giving Nayeon a high five. What Nayeon said took them all by surprise that Momo started stomping her feet for she can't contain herself.

Everyone's laughing while Jeongyeon just stared at her fiancé in disbelief suddenly the sound of glass shuttering was heard when Momo accidentally hit the table, making the glass fell down the ground.

"NO! PLEASE NO!!" Chaeyoung's terrified voice echoed in the living room, causing her friends to shut in silence and panic. "PLEASE! NO!" She shouted while tears falls through her eyes.

The other girls froze on their seat as they watch Chaeyoung curled up on the floor, covering both of her ears with her trembling hands.

Jeongyeon sprinted towards her as soon as the tall girl recovered from the shock. "Chaeng? What happened? Are you hur-" she almost finished her sentence if only Chaeyoung didn't push her hands away as she screams another terrified 'no'. Without a second, Chaeyoung got up and ran to Mina's room leaving Jeongyeon on the floor, rubbing her chest aggressively in the hope of by doing it, the pain in her heart would ease.

Sana watched as everything happened, she's been watching Chaeyoung ever since they arrived and sure she said she wants to see Chaeyoung first before concluding what's really happening to her, but she didn't expect it to be this painful. And now she looks at Mina, asking herself how can she say she's okay if she'd seen Chaeyoung like this. Maybe because that's what Mina wants her to believe.

The other girls are still in daze, trying to absorb what just happened.

"I'll talk to her." Mina informed, before entering her room.

"I can't take this." Jeongyeon said, getting up. "I- I need some air."

Nayeon can't do anything but nod as she stared into Jeongyeon's eyes that's overflowing with hate. Hate for herself.

"This is my fault." Momo sighed, hitting her head. "Stupid"

Dahyun stopped Momo the moment she hears the smack getting louder. "Stop. It's not your fault. It's an accident."

"Dahyun's right, Momo. Stop blaming yourself." Sana added, "It's not your fault."

Whatever or whoever caused this, Sana is dying to know. However, she know Chaeyoung won't give them any answers just yet, and there's a high possibility Chaeyoung herself, doesn't remember what happened.

The latter would need more than her friends for help, and Sana, despite being a clinical psychologist, knows she can't help Chaeyoung not because she's not capable but because of the relation she have with her.
