Be Mine, My Rival || Myoui Mina (English Version)

Chapter 16

Mina's POV

I sighed in relief as Y/N left me standing here alone.

I forgot to breathe whenever she's near.

Like earlier.

Did she just watch me dance?

Up until now, I'm still embarrassed about the fact that she saw me dancing.

And whenever I remember the look in her eyes while watching me dance through the gap from the door, I feel like my face will burn due to how red it is.

Speaking of Y/N, what is she doing right now?

Is she laughing at me on her way home? What if she teases me?

I shouldn't expect too much from her. She just talks to me if it's related to the upcoming quiz bee and after that, she'll treat me like nothing again.

But she suddenly gave me her phone number even though I never asked for it.

Damn...

There's something about her that I can't seem to explain...

Y/N's POV

After doing my evening routine, I wore my pajamas and laid on bed.

I'm happy because my parents are not here, no one will bothered me when I got home.

Well, except for Irene-ssi but I'm okay with that.

She always asks me about school, if I'm stressed, if there are bullies, or if I can't take the pressure anymore.

But my answer is always the same.

'I'm fine.'

I don't tell her too much about my school life, so she doesn't know that I'm the school's representative on the upcoming quiz bee. She might tell it to our parents that will never be proud of me.

"I heard that you're a heartthrob in school." She said while putting a facial mask, probably for her skin care routine.

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at her.

"What's a heartthrob?" I asked innocently since I don't really know what that is.

"Heartthrob... Uhh... It's like someone who always get the girls?" She explained[?] before examining her face in the mirror.

"Yeah, I am. And so what?" I cockily said and raised my eyebrow.

"What do you mean by 'so what'? Is your heart beating for someone? Don't be shy, tell me." She said and faced me with a teasing smile. She looks creepy, especially because she has a facial mask on.

"Irene-unnie, I can barely manage the stress that comes from studying, so I don't think I'll handle the stress of falling in love. Besides, mom and dad might murder me." I replied before checking the time in my phone.

It's already 7:02 PM, why isn't she texting me? Did she forget that we'll exchange notes?

"Girlie, you won't feel love using your godamn brain. You'll feel it in here..." She said and pointed at her chest.

"You won't study and get scolded by our parents forever, you'll eventually graduate from school and grow up." She added and wiggled her eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes before crossing my arms and sighing.

“I know, but I feel like you're rushing me." I said in disbelief.
