Just Who Are You?

No One's POV

Mina was by the balcony staring at the sunset that looks awfully pretty today. She shook her glass of wine gently and smell the aroma, sighing in satisfaction before sipping on it.

She may have hated the smell and taste before that but now she knows why Sana likes to drink after her breakup with her ex.

She knows how it tasted good when you're heartbroken. Her brother used to say alcohol is a man's bestfriend when he was heartbroken and she never understood why but now that she does, it tasted even better.

"Hey there troublemaker..." Mina look up with red cheeks and sleepy eyes. She had a few glasses and she's feeling a little tipsy but she smiled back. "Mind if I join you? I feel like you might need some company"

"Why is there a need to ask? Come sit here". She patted the spot on the couch as Mark invited himself to sit.

"I see that you've been absent minded since morning. Is there anything you want to talk about?" He asked as he poured himself a glass of wine.

"Am I that obvious?" He nodded.

"You look so lost in training today. You weren't focused and you seem to be avoiding Chaeyoung too. This morning when I saw you, your eyes looked puffy and you looked like someone who has lost all hopes in life". He pointed out. "This has to be something to do with Chaeyoung isn't it?"

"You're so spot on that it's creepy oppa". She joked but Mark just smiled.

"You can talk to me if you want".

Mina told Mark everything about what she and Chaeyoung talked about last night.

"You believed her?" Mina chuckled and shook her head before drinking her wine in one shot. "Then why'd you say all that?"

"I figured it's probably all for a good reason". She answered while pouring herself another glass of wine.

Mark chuckled and drank his glass of wine in one go.

"I see you've grown a lot".

"Well it's all thanks to everyone around me~" She gave him a side hug as he patted her hand that's on his shoulder. "Why do I feel like something is gonna happen..." She mumbled.

"What do you mean?" She glance at him before sighing again.

"I've been having a bad feeling about it lately ever since ...." she trailed off when she almost told Mark about Chaeyoung sneaking out every night so she just shook her head and just drop the topic.

"What do you see in Chaeyoung?" She was surprised when he suddenly ask her looking all serious like that.

"What do you mean oppa?" She asked back, confused.

"Why do you trust her that much?" She huffed and smiled.

"Because whenever I look into her eyes, I see nothing but the reflection of myself".

"What do you mean?" Now its his turn to be confused.

"The way she looked at me, those same sad eyes". She smiled bitterly. "I'm aware of her feelings but ...." She stood up and took a deep breath. "No matter how obvious it is to me, the fact that she can't express how she feels is upsetting but at the same time, whatever that's stopping her from doing so is what I cant get over".

"As in?"

"Chaeyoung, she's not here just to risk her life for me. She's after something else. I felt it since the beginning but I just can't figure out what".
