Four Letters (Chaeyoung×MiSaMo)

[60] Ideals and Unspoken Rules

Three pair of eyes, one with a soft stare and two with a sharp glare. Chaeyoung peacefully sipped on her strawberry smoothie while staring at her friends like a moron.

Jihyo with her arms crossed was the first to ask. "Are you here to tell us the exact date of your departure now that you're out of the hospital?" The sarcastic question almost took Chaeyoung's calm facade off. Because behind her poker face right now, is a scared cat wanting to run away.

To be honest, who wouldn't be scared of Jihyo? The ever so calm woman who at the same time screamed at and slapped her. And for pointers, it was the very first time that she saw her angry and it was because of her, of course her butt would've ate her tail.

Chaeyoung waited for Tzuyu to add to Jihyo's hot remarks, and for Dahyun to save her since she's the one who knows she's staying but no, no one dared to speak over to Jihyo. Tzuyu remained quiet and Dahyun looked like another moron sipping on her chocolate frappe. 'What an asshole.' Chaeyoung thought.

A note and a pen was slid through the table from Jihyo to hers, she furrowed her brows as she stared at it.

"Just write it down in here and mail it to me. In case you didn't know, I'm busy and you're not even worth my time." Jihyo grabbed her bag, but before that, a sudden declaration from Chaeyoung stopped her.

"I'm planning to stay and I'm living with Mina right now." Was all that Chaeyoung could say. Her heart thumped loud and her eyes remained dilated staring at her cold hands.

She waited for Jihyo's response and the response were not words, it was an action of affection. It was a warm goddamn smack on the head, not just once and twice but three times.

"Seriously? You're getting too physical with me recently aren't you?!" She stood up and held her index finger pointing. But with just one look in the eyes, she sat back down like a good puppy.

The whole room echoed with Dahyun's laughter, having her frappe going out of her nose at the same time. A painful enjoyment, but worth it.

"You could've told the first time. You decided to stay but decided to remain quiet for a whole ten minutes." Jihyo once again scolded her, but it was the type where she'd think, 'There goes again Nayeon 2.0'. She was glad that her friend once again treated her like usual.

"How much do you remember?" Tzuyu sounding like an evil prosecutor who interrogates an innocent suspect asked. Chaeyoung couldn't help but snicker to that and said in a serious tone, "I didn't murder anyone."

Dahyun laughed once again, followed by Jihyo's secret chuckles on the side. This is the first time that Tzuyu got a taste of that heat and it burned pretty bad. "Someone got a taste of her own medicine." One between Jihyo and Dahyun joked and the laughter failed to died down. It only added fuel to the fire.

The young Tzuyu only frowned and kicked the table under, sulking. "Dude, we gotta call your girl Sana for this." Dahyun said and laughed once again, but things got pretty awkward when she noticed she was the only one laughing.

Tzuyu was glaring and so as Jihyo, and looking at Chaeyoung she figured pretty quite fast but at the same time late, 'Oh shit, Chaeyoung didn't know' Dahyun covered her mouth upon realizing, but recovered a little bit faster than she should.

"Yeah, Tzuyu and Sana are dating." She suddenly announced causing the two to gasp again and Chaeyoung to choke on her own saliva. The unknowing one threw into a fit of coughing. Tzuyu almost wanted to punch Dahyun for telling something that was supposedly be told by her.

Jihyo shook her head in disbelief, slip of tongues are way out of this.

"You're dating my ex girlfriend?!" Chaeyoung finally reacted after recovering from a between life and death situation. Tzuyu averted her gaze and scratched her nape.

"It happens to end up like that."

"She also liked Mina before and you fought about it." Dahyun once again butted in. But she was not done because she once more added, "You never talked for a month."

"Alright that's it, why the fuck are you doing this again?!" Tzuyu out of patience confronted the never been so honest woman in her lifetime before. Dahyun leaned and whispered.

"It's better to get everything out all at once. An outburst is better to happen one time than twice." She smiled like an idiot but looked so serious at the same time.

"Wait wait wait, I'm getting quite lost here." Chaeyoung said and put both her index finger on her temple as if she's thinking and stressing at the same time. "So chronologically, what happened first?" She asked, looking straight into Tzuyu.

The younger swallowed a lump on her throat out of nervousness. With how Dahyun put the stories together it surely didn't look good, because it looked like she had romantic attachments with two of her bestfriend's ex girlfriends, true, but-

Yeah, there is no excuse, she really had romantic attachments with her bestfriend's ex girlfriends.

One thing that's understandable with that is, it does not happen intentionally, it happened by chance and there surely are time intervals between that events that Dahyun surely failed to include.

Tzuyu told Chaeyoung everything one by one, from when they had the huge fight because of her old feelings with Mina, which she greatly regrets and how she and Sana ended up together.

How did they actually ended up together anyways?

Well, it started a year after Chaeyoung's disappearance. They were close by that time, acting as each others pillar of emotional stability due to the devastation caused by possibly losing someone important.

Being that their relationship together does not quite sit well in their ideals and unspoken rules, they never ought to try it. Sana promised herself she would never date Chaeyoung's bestfriend and vice versa on Tzuyu's part.

But the feelings were too strong to ignore, they ended up following what they want. Tzuyu was the first to confess, Sana rejected her for hundreds of times before they actually got together but her determination of following the strong beating of her heart that says Sana's name in every in between, stops her from giving up.

Until Sana cried and finally gave in, how can she reject again someone who had asked her out so many times which accounts more than the amount of times she pees everyday. Who cares about unspoken rules and ideals when your heart can't live another day without that person?

Eight months and counting, along with the promise of never letting go of each other. Right person, right timing? No. Right person that makes the time right.

And again, who cares about unspoken rules and ideals when the one who should care the most about this set up is smiling and admiring their love story? Chaeyoung doesn't give a fuck, so what rights do other people have to judge?

None.
