FALLING IN LOVE

CHAPTER 25

MINA'S POV

It was almost time for the basketball game and both schools had arrived and were preparing.

Chaeyoung and I had slipped into school just after the bell for the last period rang.

No one seemed to have noticed we were even gone except Sana but giving a brief narration of what we did, she smiled and didn't say a word.

Everyone was still making their way to the basketball field which was where I was headed with Chaeyoung beside me.

I had an idea why he was with me but I chose not to speak about it and just enjoy having him beside me.

Then we ran into Taehyung. I hadn't noticed him at first but Chaeyoung had and he'd placed his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

"Hi Taehyung", I said anyway, ignoring Chaeyoung's gesture.

"Hello Mina", He smiled at me. His smile was replaced by a different look as he asked.

"What happened to you?".

I could tell he was talking about my nose but before I could answer, Chaeyoung answer.

"And what does that mean? Yes, her nose looks weird and she had an accident and if you can't deal with that, then maybe you're not really her friend".

"Okay Chaeyoung, cool down! Taehyung didn't mean anything by it, right?", I asked, stepping between both of them.

"Right. I just didn't expect it. I'm sorry about your accident, Mina", He took my hand and rubbed the top with his thumb.

"Of course", I mumbled, pulling out of his grip as quickly as I could manage.

"Great. Now that's out of the way, Mina and I have to get going", Chaeyoung pulled me along with him before I could do anything else.

"Bye Taehyung. Good luck!", I waved at him.

Chaeyoung led me to just outside the court. He still had to get ready for the game so he had to go to the boys locker room.

"Good luck out there, Chaeyoung!", I said, turning to look at him.

"Thanks. But with you on my side, I already have all the luck I need", He pecked me on my cheek and headed in the direction of the boys locker room.

I stood watching him until he disappeared from sight.

Shaking my head to clear the thoughts running through due to the peck Chaeyoung gave me, I headed onto the court and found a seat on the bleachers beside Sana.

"Hey bestie", I tapped her shoulder as I took my seat beside her.

"Hey you. Here to support your man? Huh?", She nudged my shoulder suggestively.

"My man? Now I know you're crazy!".

"I'm crazy? I'm not the one who snuck out to watched movie with her boyfriend", Sana sang in an accusing manner.

"And I thought you promised not to say anything", I whispered pointedly.

"Right".

"Any idea where Tzuyu is?".

"None. He's been pretty gone lately but he did say he would be here".

"Okay. The game's about to start!", I squealed excitedly as the cheerleaders prepared to come to the court. Just then, I felt like needed to go to the bathroom.

"I'll be back soon, Sana. Nature's calling".

"I didn't not need to know that", Sana gagged. I rolled my eyes at her and made my way past her to the bathroom.
