Frenemies

The Itch You Can't Scratch

                             Chaeyoung's POV

                I'm sitting in math class. Next to Hobi of course. But I'm beginning to notice something. Something is different. Hobi is acting strange. I asked him how his day was and he was shocked to see me. Like...yeah I sit next to you. Why you so shocked boy????? Anyways, he smirked weirdly at me and weirded me out.
                                   
                                   *After Class*

                  "Have you gone on all your events yet?" Hobi asked me.
                  "Yep. All of them. They were all very fun." I smiled as I thought of Mina.
                  "Very!" Mina came up behind me.
                  "Yoongi!" Hobi called up, "come here!"
                  Yoongi being the sober boy he is came up to us and smiled, "what's up shortie?" He looked directly at me.
                  "What if I grow!" I defended myself, "maybe I'm still growing!"
                  "At 18?" He mocked.
                  "You never know!" I said back.
                After class we all went our own separate ways. Today marks the day that everything is ok. Tzuyu is having a blast with Jungkook. It'll take everything the world has to break them up. Mina worked out everything with Sana as she told me this morning. And they seem to be in good terms anyways. Hobi is his happy self again. I don't know how he just is. Yoongi is Yoongi. And Namjoon and Sana are totally the best couple in the school and everyone knows it. Nothing bad could happen anymore. Absolutely nothing.

      If only that sentence was true.

      The only weird incident of the day occurred during English class. I was minding my own business when Yoongi came up to me.
        "What's up shortie?!" I said teasingly to him. But didn't seem phased. He just smiled and said this....
         "Chaeyoung, can you meet me tonight in the park at 7:00?"
         I was shocked, "me? Just me? The park? At night?"
         "Yes."
         "May I ask why?" I asked puzzled.
         "I have something to discuss with you." He said seriously.
         "Are you messing with me?" I asked.
        "No. I'm not. I just want to tell you something. Will you promise me that you'll remember?"
         "Can't you just tell me now?" I suggested.
        "It's far too important to discuss in a place like this." He explained.
         I lowered my eyebrows, "ok. I promise I'll meet you. But if you mess with me I'm going to kill you."
        I couldn't help but wonder what it was that Yoongi wants to say. I can't imagine Yoongi being genuine. He's probably messing with me or something. I'll go only because I promised him.

                             Yoongi's POV

             Trust me. It took all the courage I had to ask Chaeyoung to meet me at the park later. What am I going to say? Well it's what you think. I'm going to confess my love for that girl. If she loves Mina. So be it. All this time hiding my feelings has only made me unknown. I'm secretive. I don't want to be secretive anymore. Hobi has helped me understand this too. He confessed as soon as he gained feelings for me. He had the courage I never had. And now he's ok. He supports me. He's one of my best friends now.  If Chaeyoung rejects me, it's ok. Cause that means she loves Mina. I don't blame her. Mina is pretty, kind, soft, all those things that Chaeyoung would love to have in a person. But it's all or nothing. Am I nervous? Yes! Very extremely nervous. I haven't told anybody about thus either. No. Not even Hobi. I know. It's just Chaeyoung and I now. But when I see her, I'm going to know for sure if I stand a chance or not. I'm forgetting about Mina tonight. My only focus is Chaeyoung. She is my everything. I hope you love me too. Maybe. There is a slight chance.

                               Mina's POV

            "I........KNEW IT!" Sana almost yelled.
             "Shut up!" I yelled, "your moms gonna think I'm dying!"
            "You love Chaeyoung! I knew it! You denied it! Or did you just lie?"
            "I didn't know yet at the time. But after the ice cream date.....I mean.....event. I was sure. I went to Chaeyoung when I needed her the most. I mean she's caring, lovable, understanding, beautiful, and her friends and family mean everything to her. She's the one, Sana. And she's type A! We can be together! Possibly."
         "Your blood just can't come into contact with her blood." Sana reminded, "and how do you know she's type A anyway?"
        "She told me." I said, "I'm just nervous. What if she doesn't like me back?"
        "Personally I think she will." Sana assured, "are you going to tell her?"
        "I don't know." I replied, "should I?"
        "I would. Namjoon and I became a thing fast and I'm so grateful for it. If it weren't for him I would still be hiding my feelings."
         "I hate hiding it." Mina sighed, "it's like having an itch I can't scratch."
          "You are very right." Sana agreed, "I say go for it!"
          "When?" I asked.
          "How about tomorrow?" Sana suggested, "at school. Or after school."
           "Ok. Maybe. I'll think about it." I blushed.
          "You silly girl." Sana laughed, "you can do this! I believe in you!"
          "Mhm. What time is it?" I asked.
          "Time for you to take out the trash." Sana handed me the trash bag.
           I rolled my eyes, "ok. But what time is it actually?"
           "Almost 7:00." Sana answered, "now go take the trash out!"
           "Fine." I sighed and took the trash bag.

            I walked outside pondering how I was going to talk to Chaeyoung tomorrow. So many ideas rushing through my head. I was incredibly nervous. But I know I can't let Sana down. She's counting on me now. I just hope she feels the same.
     
           As I opened the trash bin to dump the bag in I saw something suspicious from the corner of my eye. A small black van passing by began going slower as it neared me. Getting paranoid I started to walk back to the house when suddenly a hand came over my mouth.
           I tried to scream but the hand had such a strong grip over me that I couldn't make a sound.
           Suddenly a rough voice sounded, "make a noise and you'll only make it harder for yourself."
           I immediately recognized the voice. It was Hyunjin.
