Chapter 39

Jeongyeon's head was popping out of the blanket while Nayeon was hiding under it. When she heard Jihyo snoring, she slowly pulled her head up to level Jeongyeon's face.

"Hey, Jeongyeon—" She was surprised when she faced Jeongyeon- her eyes were tightly closed as her breathing was slightly trembling. Is she pretending to be asleep?

Nayeon ignored her thoughts and didn't hesitate to move her face closer to Jeongyeon. She felt the younger girl stiffen when she moved to hover above the latter. She placed her knees on both side of Jeongyeon's hips and leaned down to her neck. She planted a gentle kiss there and pulled away, observing the younger girl. Jeongyeon was breathing heavily and so does Nayeon. After a few moments, she leaned back down, aiming for the younger girl's plump lips. Their lips were about to touch when she felt Jeongyeon's hand blocking in between.

"Get out." Jeongyeon whispered seriously as she pushed Nayeon's left shoulder while her left hand was still on Nayeon's lips. Nayeon had no other choice but to obey.

When she reached outside the room, she slumped on the floor, slightly regretting her actions. Why couldn't I give her a direct answer back then? She stared at her huge hands as she stopped herself from crying. Then, she remembered what Chaeyoung said to her "Even so! You still love her, right!?" She clenched her fists and stood up. Of course! No one loves Jeongyeon more than I do!

"Gangnam station?" Nayeon clarified.

She asked Jihyo about Jeongyeon's whereabouts while they were having breakfast at a nearby restaurant with Sana, Mina and Momo.

"Y-yes..." Jihyo was sobbing while eating her bacon. Momo was busy munching on her breakfast beside Nayeon while Sana was texting someone beside Jihyo. Mina was silently eating on the other end of the table while also silently laughing at Jihyo.

"Why is it a big deal for you if Jeongyeon goes there? And why are you crying!? Are you drunk?" Sana teased and went back to her phone while constantly biting on her breakfast.

"S-she always spends her free time with m-me and Mina, but for her free time t-today, she's..." she paused and sniffed dramatically. "... she's meeting someone there, t-then going to places with t-them!"

Nayeon quickly finished her food and stood up. "Thanks, Jihyo-ya!" Jihyo only nodded without realizing what's happening.

"Oh, Jeongie..." Jihyo continued to sob and Mina can't help but giggle.

"What the hell, Jihyo-ya! Why are you being dramatic? It's not like Jeongyeon is dating that person, right?" Mina commented, not knowing that what she said was true. She patted Jihyo's shoulder and continued eating. Momo and Sana chuckled.

"Momo-ya, Sana-ya, I'm sorry I think I won't be able to go with you." Nayeon said.

"Nah, it's fine." Momo shrugged, still devouring her third fried egg. "Besides, I have other things to do and so does Sana and Mina."

"Yeah! Baby Jihyo here doesn't have anything to do since Jeongyeon is out with someone~" Sana teased again and the two other Japanese laughed. Jihyo glared at her as she wiped her tears.

"And I'll be comforting Jihyo." Mina smiled.

"Okay, then. I'm heading to Gangnam station!" Nayeon sprinted out of the restaurant. Jihyo realized what was happening and quickly stood up to chase Nayeon.

"What the— hey! Im Nayeon! Where are you—" she was about to run when Mina held her back down. "Why did you—"

"I thought you said you won't stop her anymore?" Mina retorted. Jihyo sighed in defeat, but still rushed outside and caught a glimpse at the running Nayeon.
