My Cure ( Michaeng ) ✔️

Chapter-23

Friday Night

Chaeyoung's P.O.V

If you ask me how I'm feeling right now, I'm fucking nervous. It's difficult for me to swallow my own saliva, let alone the wine in my hand, and Mina's father has been giving me looks since the beginning of the dinner night.

We decided to tell her parents about our relationship, but I had no idea it would be so nerve-wracking. Mina squeezed my thigh, which was shaking nonstop with nervousness, as we ate dinner and drank our wines while waiting for the desert.We are talking about random things, I know I should tell them the first but I never fell in a situation like this, even tho they knew before Mina about my feelings for her.

I pressed my lips on the glass, one sip then I will tell them. But as soon as wine filled my mouth; Mina said," We are together mom and Dad. Chaeyoung is my girlfriend."

I choked on my wine and coughed loudly as Mina began patting my back, Ms. Myoui handed me a glass of water, and Mr. Myoui laughed at me. Aish! This old man is making fun of me while I'm dying!!

Mina wiped the wine from my lips as I drank the water and calmed down. Unconsciously, I smiled at her gentle touch.

"So, you guys are finally in a relationship. Actually, we knew from the first, right Chae?" Mr. Myoui said, and Mina looked at me puzzled.

"How? And you told them before, Chae?" Mina asked, surprised and perplexed, and I scratched my nape with a small nod.

"Mina, while you were sleeping in the hospital, she told us about her feelings for you. And we had a sense you'd end up together one day." Ms. Myoui explained, and I noticed my cheeks flushing as I felt Myoui's hand intertwine our fingers and smile at me.

Our deserts were served up by a waiter, and we began talking about random topics such as how Her parents met in high school and married, and so on. Mina, on the other hand, fell silent. We were conversing, but she was just listening, nodding, answering quickly, or occasionally spacing out. What had happened to her all of a sudden?

........................

Mina's P.O.V

I slowly got out of bed, tiptoeing out of the room while watching Chaeyoung sleep peacefully. I walked to the balcony with a bottle of red wine and a glass.

It's nearly 2 a.m., and I still can't sleep or stop thinking about us.

It scared me when I found out about Chae's liking before I proposed my feelings for her.

She noticed a sudden my mood change so she asked me again and again what happened to me but I answered I am just tired. She assumed I was lying and gave me space without interrogating me further. This is the thing that both scares me and makes me feel loved at the same time; she understands me better than I do.

I am getting scared of the indescribable storm I feel for her, It's way more than the love I mean I never felt for anyone, not even for my ex. I thought I loved her, but nothing compares to how I feel about Chae now.

I was broken when she left, but what will happen if Chaeypung gives up me? Can I stand the pain? Can I convince my heart that she's gone? Is it even possible for me to breathe without her?

I lean back on the chair, relaxed my body, and closed my eyes. Felt the gentle breeze touching my skin and the past memories flooded into my mind.

Flashback ( 2-3 years ago )

"Ple-Please... Don't go! I beg you. Please!"

"I have to Mina. Our relationship don't have any future. My parents already fixed my wedding in New York and I am moving there."

"Your marriage? What are you saying? Please tell you are lying. You said you love me! How can you leave me!!"

"Mina, stop shouting. Don't forget we are in cafe. People are staring at us."

"For God's sake! You're concerned about what others will think? What about me? Have you ever thought about me?"

"Mina, it will be good for us. Look, this society will never consider us normal, and I can't bear seeing their expressions when they discover about us. I can't let my parents down."

"I told my parents about us, and I'll face society as well. But all I need is you. We can face-"

"Mina, I'm sorry. I have to leave. Please don't call me again and try to forgive me."

"No, Ple-Please... please Do-Don't leave me. I lo-"

"Mina?"

"Mina??"

"Mina!!" I heard someone called my name and I opened my eyes.

Chae is concernedly looking at me and cupping my face, caressing something wet on my cheeks; tears. I leaned in to her touch and closed my eyes.I felt light kisses over my eyes, my cheeks, on my upper nose bridge mole and I hugged her.

"Let it out. I am here, love." She said this as she combed my hair in a smooth rhythm, and I let out a sob.

I was crying on her chest for no particular reason. Is it because the past has popped up in front of me, or am I afraid of experiencing that pain again? But if I lose her this time, I'm not sure what I'll do. I love her to the point where I'm afraid of losing her...

"Are you all right now?" She questioned after hearing me no longer crying while her chin rested on my head and she patted my back in a smooth rhythm, and I nodded a little.

"I'm not sure why you're crying or sad, but always remember that I'm here for you and I love you." She said , and I tilted my head to look at her.

I lean in to kiss her after she gave me a reassuring smile. She motioned me to sit on her lap without breaking our kiss as she sat at the table in front of me.

Our kiss was smooth and rhythm-like, with her hands around my waist and me looping my arms around her neck, pulling her closer. Her right hand moved to my cheek, caressing it with her thumb as she sucked my lower lip. I pushed my tongue into her mouth and felt her smile as we kissed; I love it when she smiles like this...Our saliva coiled around our tongues; it wasn't a slow or hungry kiss, but it was a passionate one. She always smells and tastes like strawberries.

What have you done to me, Chaeyoung? I am so addicted to You.

We parted for breath, still connected with a string of saliva and she smiled at me.

"Let's sleep now. Whenever you feel free to talk about it; I will listen. Ok, love?" She said while wiping her Saliva over my lips with her thumb and I nodded with a sly smile.

I was both surprised and blushed when she carried me around like a baby, my legs wrapped around her waist, my face buried in the crook of her neck, and we walked to our bed.

"Mina, I love you." She whispered as she gently placed me on the bed and lay beside me.

"I love you, Chae." I said as I scooted closer to her and fell asleep.

Isn't it too short to express how I feel for you? I wish I had more words to say than those three.

A/N : I need someone like Chaeyoung! Someone who can feel me , try to understand me. We all need someone special in our life.
