Perfect World

Chapter 43

Mina POV

"Mina." She whispered.

Responding back to her name when I said her name. My heart was heavy. I have never- I have never felt this way with anyone. I mean, I have kissed guys before.

But this.

This is different.

The kiss left me hanging, wanting for more. My face felt hot and not from the dancing, but for the crave of our lips touching agains each other that we just had. Chaeyoung's hazelnut eyes met mine. She's so beautiful and her eyes brought my attention but it was not like she already did. She broke our gaze and look down.

"I-I'm sorry." She mumbled.

Shit.

Why was she sorry?

Was she saying the kiss was a mistake?

Did she regret it?

I felt her hands was pull away from my neck, leaving me cold. She start to walk toward the mirror and pace back and forth. Her hand was in her hip and she start to shake her head.

"Chaengie, why are you sorry?" I asked.

I stood in the same place where we held our kiss not wanting to let go of the moment. I technically froze. I watch her, she didn't respond. Did she really regret it?

"Chaeyoung?" I said little louder.

No responded.

"Chaeyoung." I said sternly.

She stop and look up snapping out of her thought. Her eyebrows were scrunched together and her hand was near her lips.

"S-sorry. I-uh, just." She trailed off.

I went over and grabbed her hands causing her to freeze. Her breath was hitched and she look scared. Why is she afraid?

"Talk to me, please. Do you, do you r-regret the k-kiss?" I said hesitation.

"W-what? No!" She said while waving her hands in the air.

"Then, what's going on?" I asked nervously.

"I just, I'm scared of us." She mumbled.

Eh? What's she talking about?

"I don't, I don't know if I can do another relationship, Mina. After Somi, I just felt- I felt heartbroken." She said.

Her lips quivered at the thought. Did she think I would cheat on her? I would never do that to anyone especially someone as sweet as her.

I would never!

I couldn't.

Wait.

Are we even in a relationship?

The question start to get deep within my thought.

"Chaengie, what are we exactly?" I asked.

She didn't said anything but sighed.

"Minari, I want to be with you, so bad. Like really really bad. But I-I don't think, I-I can handle another heartbreak." She mumbled.

I walk closer to her and wrapped my hand around her waist bringing her closer. How could one person do so much damage to her? Her eyes start to turn glassy as if she was about to cry.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I promise. I want to be with you too. Like really really bad too." I whispered.

"Minari." She whispered.
