Thankfully, semestral break happened to be a week later as Nayeon comes up with a chance of calling up Mina for a sleepover.

They lay in bed in comfortable silence as Nayeon flexes out the still unfinished cube in hand.

Mina giggles, "What're you bragging about, Nayeonnie?"

Nayeon points a finger up, "This! I get that it still is unfinished but you gotta know it took me several weeks to get past the other layers."

Mina faces Nayeon as she watches her with the same twinkling eyes that she'd been giving for the past several years.

"Did it help? To calm you down, I mean."

Nayeon feels Mina staring, she feels her hands getting jelly but she doesn't wish to be seen falling. Unable to gaze at the portrait that the Gods spent time into,

She calmly mumbles,

"Fortunately, yes, Minari. My first thoughts of having a cube were all little boxes full of colours."

"Thank God, if it were to give you a stressful amount of time instead of relaxing your mind, I'd pretty much apologize for that."

Nayeon wishes to settle down the Mina effect, she wants to tell her best friend truthfully of how she's been feeling towards her, but the only thing that Nayeon can initiate for now is to,

Finally face the art that she has a passion for her burning desire.

"Relaxing or not, stressful or not, I'd happily accept and give in to the wonders of your thoughtful mind through gifting me anything, Mina."

Still in a comfortable silence with a pinch of hot weatherly feeling that dawns on the pair.

Both of their eyes finally met, neither of the two not wanting to break their gazes off to one another, Nayeon's Rubik's cube in hand settled down on its own destiny.

The destiny?

Is to descend from Nayeon's palms smacking off Nayeon's legendary airbender forehead.

That for sure brought Mina and Nayeon back to reality.

Mina's the first one to burst into laughter while Nayeon rubs her cube marked forehead.

"My forehead~" Nayeon pouts.

That strikes Mina with a worried feeling to her chest. "Come here, Nayeonnie."

Nayeon impossibly rolls closer to Mina's contact as her breath starts to become heavy due to nervousness.

Nervousness you say?

They have over a hundred sleepovers through seven years and you tell me, Nayeon here gets nervous?

Nevertheless, she rolls over to Mina to embrace Mina's waist.

The pair are in a position that they both are familiar with. From unnoticeable cuddles on long nights, to waking to the exact same position every morning.

Nayeon is used to this yet she's nervous.

Mina is used to this yet she's nervous too.

At least Mina feels the same.

Mina cuddles Nayeon on her chest as she soothes out her reddened forehead by giving it gentle strokes.

Nayeon soon to be having her eyes heavy with sleep and Mina's warmth,

Mina kissed her forehead and that bolted Nayeon awake.

Mina noticed how Nayeon's shoulders stiffened. "Nayeonnie, are you alright? Is there something wrong?"
