Mina
It's been two days after I last talked to Chaeyoung and until now, I'm still pushing her away for two main reasons.
First, I don't want to hear anything from her just yet thinking she's only manipulating me just to leave me behind like she always do. To be honest, I am dying out of curiousity of what she really meant by if she'd trust herself, she'd end up killing herself as well. Those words haven't even left my mind since then yet I'm here, doing my very best just to avoid her. I created a wall against her just to protect myself from her and from the pain that she always gives me.
Second, I'm confused. I'm confuse about my feelings not only towards Somi but also to Chaeyoung. After long years of waiting, Somi has always been there for me. She stayed when Chaeyoung choose to walk away. She stayed with me and help me heal all the pain caused by Chaeyoung. She's always been there unlike Chaeyoung. Somi always find ways to stay unlike Chaeyoung who always find ways to leave.
I know, I shouldn't compare them for they are two different individuals but I can't help it besides, I'm not even dumb not to know Somi's feelings. I know she haven't said anything to confirm anything yet but I'm sure she's feeling something more than she should.
A sudden phone call interrupted my thoughts but I ignored thinking it's Chaeyoung but as soon as the call was dropped off, my phone rang again which made me furious. To my surprise, the caller was Somi. I hastily picked up the call and tried to sound sweeter as much as I can just what my mind told me to.
"Somi? Why did you called-"
"Hi, Mina. I'm just wondering if you could join me for lunch today?"
"Today? But your workplace was like an hour drive from mine—"
"Don't worry, Mina. I happen to be just few blocks from your place now so I'm thinking if we could atleast have a lunch together. What do you think?"
"Well, that sounds good. I'm in"
"Great. I'll pick you up later, okay? See you later, Mina."
"See you later, Somi."
A smile crept on my face as soon as the call ended. I'm more than glad that she called and invited me out for a lunch and honestly, I'm excited to see her again.
I checked my wristwatch and realized it's just an hour away from lunch break So I grabbed my bag and fished my make up kit. The last thing I want right now is to let Somi see me in a worn out state.
After few minutes of re-touchhing and fixing myself, a gentle knock on the door interrupted me which afterwards revealed the person I've been ignoring these past few days.
"Hi, Mina-"
"What are you doing here, Chaeyoung?"
I ignored her as I expertly applied a lipstick on my lips.
"Well, I brought something for you. Here—"
"You shouldn't have bothered besides, I don't need that and I don't want that either"
"But, it's your favorite—"
"I don't care! Look, I don't really want to sound rude, Chaeyoung but can you just please leave me alone?"
"B-but—"
"I said leave."
Chaeyoung just nodded and faked a smile. I thought she would finally going to walk out the room but to my surprise, she didn't. Chaeyoung gently grabbed my hand and placed the stuff that she made for me.
"Atleast take this, Mina. Don't starve yourself and—"
"Damn, I said I don't want it, Chaeyoung!"
Out of madness, I threw the stuff on her which made everything spilled.
"I-I'm sorry—"
"Shut the fuck up and take your apologies with you then leave the hell out of me alone, Son Chaeyoung!"
I don't know what came into me but I end up literally pushing her out of my office not even bothering to look at her even once. I went back inside my office afterwards only to see the food scattered on the floor.
It's indeed my favorite.
I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh as I made a step towards the spilled stuff. I started cleaning up everything until a certain thing stopped me- it's a letter.
"What is this?"
I slowly opened the letter until a picture fell. It's a photo of Chaeyoung with Yuna and Ryujin in our kitchen. They looked so busy yet so happy. Right there and then, A pang of guilt suddenly rushed into me as I read the short letter that Chaeyoung made.
Hi Mina,
The kids and I decided to cook your favorite. We hope you'll love it. Oh by the way, your mom was the one who took the picture and told me to put it in the letter as well. Enjoy the food and don't tire yourself too much,okay? We love you!
Love,
Chaeyoung
As soon as I closed the letter, a tear escaped from my eyes and made me realized something—I fucked up.
"God, what have I done?"
