FALLING IN LOVE

CHAPTER 38

CHAEYOUNG'S POV

When I met Mina, I was not at the best place in my life. I'd caught my girlfriend, Jeon Somi, a girl who I thought would never betray me.

A girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life is having sex with my best friend. To make things worse, it turned out that it had been going on for a while.

I was, in a word, devastated! I'd never felt so betrayed and broken in my whole life. To deal with my heartbreak, I did the only thing that made sense. I broke other people's heart. I called it being a player but that was what I was really doing.

Rosé broke my heart so I broke other girl's heart to get over my heartbreak. It was pretty easy. I had the looks, the fame, the money too.

I was basically a jerk and I knew it. Then we moved here and I met Mina. At our first meeting when she ran into me getting a blowjob in the girl's bathroom, I really thought she was cute. Her expression was funny to say the least and she looked as red as a tomato.

Then she turned out to be unique and seemed to hate me for some reason. I hated her too so let's just say I had fun thinking up various new ways to prank her, if only to see her cute red face when she was angry.

Then came the business with the kiss. I remembered trying to push the door of the Janitor's closet open only for me to slam right into someone and boom, my lips were on hers. It all happened so fast, I don't even know how it happened exactly.

But I can still remember how soft her lips felt against mine, the wide-eyed shock in her eyes, how badly I'd wanted to wrap my arms around her waist to deepen the kiss, Sadly, before I could act on my impulse, Mina pushed me away from her so hard, I landed on my butt.

I tried to act like I wasn't bothered but as I walked away and even as I played the game that night, all I could think of was Mina and how badly I wanted to kiss her again.

After that night, of course had to go back to acting like I hated her, had to go back to ignoring her at school when all I wanted was to kiss her silly every time I saw her.

I didn't like her back and I still thought she was annoying but something changed after our 'kiss' even if I didn't know it yet.

When my Grandma came to stay with us, I was in a panic. I'd already assured her that I had a girlfriend even when I didn't and I had no idea how to even get one.

Then Mina came that day and one thing led to another and boom, we were dating, or at least, fake dating.

Dating Mina, or even pretending to date her was not an experience I looked forward to but I was prepared to make it work, if only for my grandma's sake.

The result was the best thing that ever happened to me. She was funny, smart, feisty, cute, terrifying at times and absolutely beauty.

My feelings for Mina perhaps budded the day we almost kissed in the library after I invited her to Bambam's party.

I convinced myself it was just a physical attraction but with time, I found that I genuinely cared for her.

The day we confessed our feelings for each other was perhaps the best day of my life. I never thought that I would ever be able to love someone after Somi but Mina changed all that, at least that was what I told myself.

Grandma's death was unexpected to say the least. I could still remember my mom shaking awake late at night, tears streaming down her cheeks as she told me that Grandma wasn't moving.

I could still rushing out of bed to Grandma's bedside while screaming for someone to call the ambulance.

When Grandma didn't make it, I wanted to just die. After Somi's betrayal, I never thought I could ever get so hurt again but I was wrong. I could still remember laying on my bed, tears streaming down my cheeks as I mourned for my late Grandma.
