Perfect World

Chapter 15

Chaeyoung POV

I woke up and see Mina still driving. She looks a little tired and upset. I took my headphone out of my ears and looked at the time. Its around 1:38 pm.

"Mina." I said with my voice kind of raspy.

She looked over and smile sweetly.

"Hey sleepyhead. How was your nap?" She asked.

"It was fine. I see you are still driving. I didn't miss anything right?" I said.

"Nope. We are like fifteen minutes away. Don't worry, you have been out for good hour and half." She said giggled a bit.

I smiled. I looked over on the road and I see talk mountains near the car. It wasn't cold, it warm feeling in the car. The road was winding and I see some people walking on the side. We kept going on until there was this side road. There wasn't any asphalt it was just gravel. Trees were crossing each other in the air like a beautiful dark cave but with small light peeking through the leaves. I'm so excited for fall. Summer is about to end and its only Sunday. Tomorrow we have a school again.

I wish I could do thing again. With my family. But I know its impossible. Well, my family never did anything like this, vacations I mean. She then open the sunroof that went all the way back to the back seats. And you can hear the wisp of winds throughout the car. She slowed down the car to at least twenty miles per hour because of the rocky edges and stuck one hand out feeling the air.

"Are you cold?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"No, I'm okay. I like this." I smiled widely.

She plugged her phone into the aux and started playing 'Chillax' by Twice. I love this song.

I rolled down the window and laid on the side of it. I felt the wind blew threw my hair and small strands covering my face. I let out a small laugh and stuck my hand out, slowly I felt the wave blew against my hand in a sense of direction. No one is here in this area. We got to the bottom of this large hill and it was dark behind it. The sun must be on the other side. She parked the car on this grass area.

"Ready?" She asked.

"Still don't want to tell me where we are yet?" I asked back.

"Nope." She said popping the 'p'.

She got out the car and grabbed her duffle bag. She helped me and we start walking up the hill. We were silent. But there's no awkward silent. Its just calm, warm and safe. I don't know. Everything with Mina is calm, warm and safe.

"You know." She start speak.

"My family and I come here a lot when my brothers was around." She said.

"You have a brother?" I asked.

"Yup. Two actually." She reply.

"Where are they?" I asked curious.

"Hmm, Kai's in college now at SS Medical college." She said.

"The other one?" I asked curious.

Well, she told that she have two. She just mention one right? She stopped and take a deep breath before turn facing me.

"Minho, passed away when I was ten." She said smiled sadly.

Shit!

"Oh, I'm sorry Mina. I d-didn't mean-." She cuts me.

"Its okay Chaeyoung. It was long ago." She said.

"Hmm, so. All of your family are doctors and surgeons?" I asked tried to change topic.

We are almost at the top, it looks like no one ever comes here. As my head made its way to the top peeking out first, a bright light flashed in my eyes. It felt warm and the surrounding was cool. I reached my whole body over the hill and a shade of red and purple burst through below. They were wildflowers, behind the far field was a dark green forest and mountains. I stood there not paying attention to anything else. The wind blow and had a scent of sweet mountain air. The sky was covered with clouds though. It would be beautiful with the sunset here, except I know we won't stay long for that.

"Ahem." Mina cleared her throat behind me.

I turned around and saw a blanket with food set up on it and Mina was standing on the side.

"Would you like to have lunch here?" She asked smiling.

I blushed and sit down across her.

"You know." She spoke.

"This place is very special to me. And as you can see not many people come up here. My parents found it long ago when they first met. Then, they would bring us here. Its like our family escapes here. Its crazy how fast time goes by." She said.

I nodded and looked back into the distance where the mountains were. She must be missing her brother. I know how she felt by losing someone we love.

"So, Chaeyoung." She said my name.

"Tell me something I don't know about you." She said.

"Well, what do you want to know?" I asked.

"Anything. Or actually, why do you want to become a surgeon?" She asked.

"Hmm, to be honest. Because of my mom. When I was little my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. I don't have to go into the detail since you already know what it is. But becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon means a lot to me. It just the thing that keeps you alive throughout your body. It come down to becoming a neurosurgeon or cardiothoracic because regardless they both jump the gun. Its scary and risky, but both important throughout the body. My mom, passed away later after and handed me her saving for my education and she meant the world to me." I explain.

I looked over at Mina and she gave me this look where I couldn't read. Maybe I got into detail too much.

"What about your dad?" She asked.

"My dad? He's a businessman actually but its not as great as a surgeon. I don't really know how they meet actually." I said.

She didn't say anything instead keep looking at the flowers below the hill. They were gorgeous and its look like a fairytale.

"Its much more beautiful when there's a sunset. Hmm, Chaeyoung. I'm sorry about your mom." She said now looking at me.

I just nodded.

"Sorry about your brother too." I said.

Then, I looked down and eat a strawberry. Nyum. This is my favourite. But its been a long time I eat this.

"Hey, those are mine!" I felt her nudge me softly with her foot.

"But they are my favourite!" I said.

"And so are mine!" She yelled out.

She come over and pushed me on shoulder and snagging a strawberry. She sit next to me and put one hand over mine. She were so close to me then again I was so close to her this morning. We partially cuddling each other. My breath hitched.

"Chaeyoung. If you ever need somewhere to go, you can always come here. This place is open to anyone okay?" She said smiling at me.

Shit! She's beautiful.

- yeah, I know it not the best. But, they getting know to each other right? -
