Faking It

[3]

The foundation day continued, and I was convinced how much Nayeon, Sana and Momo love kids. I'm sure they'll be good parents someday.

I want to actually go to Mina. It was an innocent intention being her friend. But there are some factors that prevented me. Tzuyu's always by her side, I'm so busy as one of the organizers, and Jeongyeon and Dahyun won't stop giving me those teasing looks whenever I'm in Mina's proximity.

I really regretted I spaced out the time.

Dinner is done and everyone seems pretty exhausted. We asked the kids to line up for their gifts.

IU: "Hey Kids... So, the gifts on the left are from me and your Chaeyoung unnie. We're so sorry that it's all our money could get. But... Say thanks to your new and beautiful unnies here. They prepared more gifts and all of you are sure to get one." All the kids cheered and clapped. They also bowed and thanked my friends.

Me and IU were really sorry, but my friends' gifts are really life saver.

After the kids got their gifts, they started to bid goodbyes to my friends. Their bedtime is approaching so they must rest.

We then proceeded to one of the halls. The director was kind enough to let us continue a little party there.

NY: "I missed doing this."

"You've done this before unnie?"

NY: "Yes."

JH: "Every Christmas."

SN: "We choose which orphanage to visit and conduct a small party there."

MM: "I want to do this with home for the aged too."

JY: "Of course!"

Really not wrong when I told to myself that they're nice and kind people.

NY: "Moderation please. I'm not taking care of anyone." We're having a drink session now. Not that we want to get drunk. Just a simple celebration.

JH: "Because you're the one to be taken care of."

TY: "Fair said."

Jeongyeon just laughed and Nayeon was quick to hit her.

My eyes scanned the surrounding and found no Mina. I've missing her since morning. I mean... Missing because I can't see her. Yeah... Go and judge me.

I went outside and strolled a bit until I saw her sitting on a bench. It was a bit cold, so I offered her my muffler.

MN: "You scared me."

"Sorry... Take it. Seems you're cold."

MN: "It's okay. I want to feel the breeze."

"May I?" She nodded and I sat beside her.

MN: "Chaeng... You're amazing."

"Where did that came from?" I giggled from the sudden compliment.

MN: "You?"

"Unnie.." She smiled.

MN: "You know. The way you live your life. It's tiring but you seemed satisfied and happy." Well... I could say that somehow, I am.

"Life is always hard so we must take it easy. If that make sense." She chuckled.

MN: "It is."

MN: "I want to ask a favor. But it's a big and silly favor."

"Shoot unnie." She looked at me and scanned my reaction.
