54: Christmas Eve day

Chaeyeon's POV:

We are in Akihabara Tokyo, it was the eve of Christmas. Kang-chan and Kura-chan went to the Comic Bookstore first thing in the morning to shop some more for Kwangbae. The two insisted that they go alone citing reasons of bonding over Mangas. I reluctantly agreed seeing that both were determined to leave without Minmin and I. The rest of the members had gone around Akihabara in an attempt to shop for their families' last minute Christmas gift and Chaewon volunteered to carry Yuri's bags. So it was only Minmin and I who are left in the Park Hotel room we rented. My sisters will come for a short break from work and school, Chaemin will stay with the parents for the rest of her break while Chaeryeong will come and leave the day after Christmas eve. Minju and I were diligent with our time, we already shopped gifts for everyone in the family as well as the members of the team. Minju was watching a K-Drama as she laid beside me, cuddled up to me. It's been a while since we were left alone like this. My hands automatically brushed her hair for the past thirty minutes we've been left cuddled up together. Minju's attention on the television.

"Aren't you tired of brushing my hair with your hand?" She asked me eventually.

"No, I'm not tired, Jagiya." I replied to her absentmindedly.

"Thank you." She replied.

"For what exactly are you thanking me for?" I asked her confused.

"For treating me like a queen, for taking care of my basic needs, for teaching me how to dance, for everything you've done for me and for letting me cuddle up to you, when we both know we aren't supposed to be cuddling like this." She replied.

"Jagiya? Who says we aren't supposed to cuddle together? Friends can do that alright? It doesn't mean that we can't cuddle just cause I don't love you the same way as you did. That's entirely absurd, friends can cuddle like this, we are both comfortable unless you're saying you're not comfortable then I'll stop letting you cuddle." I replied to her.

"I mean, it was because I had an unrequited love for you. It was a wonder how you still let me cuddle you." She replied.

"Well, cause I am your Father. A father could cuddle us unless the father wanted something more which is gross by the way. Ugh! I can't believe we're having this conversation just now!" I replied to her disgusted by the turn of events.

"Yah! Jagiya! No! No! No! I don't mean an incestuous relationship. Never mind me. Never mind I ever brought it up! It's disgusting!" She replied to me.

We laughed at our situation right now.

"But seriously, Minmin. It doesn't mean I don't like you the way you used to like me, I love you any less, I still love you and look at you as if you are my own child. I just can't you know? I mean that's really gross if I engage in a sexual and romantic relationship with my child, my own flesh and blood. Ugh! Never mind everything that people will say, we're good friends and you are my favorite friend, number one friend and my family loves you back. In the next life time I promise to love you better, let's be consoled of the fact that we turned out better as friends." I replied to her.

"Yeah yeah, let's not talk about our friendship, cause it's disgusting to think of our label. My gad! I can't! Why did I ever bring this topic up?" She replied wailing.

"It's okay, we are better this way. That's what matters." I replied to her.

I placed a quick kiss on her forehead.

"Jagiya, is it okay if I still call you Jagiya?" She asked me.

"Yeah, you can. I don't really mind being called Jagiya, even Chaewon still calls me Jagiya despite her having Yuri as her real life Jagiya." I replied to her.
