Faking It

[2]

JY: "You really want to get hurt Lisa?" While Nayeon is holding onto her.

She's here again outside our room. She's Mina's ex-girlfriend. Yes... Mina's gay too.
She's been bugging us since Mina came back. It's been three days and only God knows when she'll stop.

JH: "Ms. Monoban. You'll go or I'll call our dean?"

LS: "Please, let me just talk to Mina."

DH: "She already said no."

LS: "Please Mina. I'm begging you." While looking directly at Mina who's now approaching them.

MN: "I'm begging you too. Please leave because we don't have anything to talk about." She's sad. I can see it in her eyes.

TY: "You heard her. Now leave while we're being nice here."

LS: "I will wait Mina. I will wait." She left.

TY: "The audacity of that girl!" A furious Tzuyu is a scene I don't want to witness again.

MN: "Let it go Tzu." Mina held her arm.

TY: "But unnie?" Mina just smiled and Tzuyu just sighed in defeat. It's like they're talking something only they know.

SN: "Come here Mitang. We'll protect you from her." Her and Momo hugged Mina.

I'm still in stage of knowing them so I don't have a single idea what's happening. I don't want to ask. Not unless they're ready to open it up with me.

One evening while I was working on my assignment at the shop counter...

"Chaeng?"

"Unnie?" What she's doing here?

MN: "You work here?" I nodded.

MN: "This late?"

"It's the only feasible time unnie." I smiled. And I saw how worried her eyes were. I'm grateful that she empathizes me. But there's more unfortunate kids/people out there. "You... What are you doing here?"

MN: "Can I rent one?"

"Of course. Why not?" She giggled. What a sight.

MN: "Silly. Okay... One hour please."

"You may take number one unnie."

MN: "There?" She pointed at me and when I traced where her index finger is going... She shot me right thru the heart.

"U... Uhm."

MN: "Kidding Chaeng." She giggled again. I didn't know that she can be that smooth.

Since the seat number one is just beside me, I could see her play. I didn't even finish my assignment as I enjoyed watching her. She's so skilled like those teenage boys I saw playing.

Her time is done. She played total of three games and won it all.

MN: "So refreshing. How was I?" Shit! I was caught off guard. I believed she's so into her games to even notice me.

"Never saw a girl who's as skilled as you unnie." She flashed those gummy smiles again.

MN: "How about you? You don't play?"

"Sometimes. But not as good as you."

MN: "Stop flattering me Chaeng." I'm not even kidding. I'm no match for her.
