One-Sided Love [MICHAENG]

Chapter 52

Mina's pov

Chaeyoung and I are watching TV while waiting for the others. It felt surreal that I am here with her again. I never thought of being with her after that confession. I know it's dumb that I should wish for us to be together, but the fact that she won't return my feelings and I hurt her, makes me thought of not being with her again.

I hurt two of my best friends because of this stupid love.

They say love feels like heaven, but why it feels like hell to me?

Whatever it may be, all that matters is our friendship now. It is what should matter after all.

We are just best friends after all. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Why are you zoning out like that?" My thoughts were cut when Chaeyoung spoke.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking what I should eat for breakfast." I chuckled, trying to hide these stupid thoughts.

"Don't worry, our friends would've probably get a lot of food you like." She smiled to me and I smiled back.

After some minutes, our friends arrived. I can't look at them. 

How can I when I kept ignoring them and here I am just appearing out of nowhere?

I admit that I miss them a lot, but it just felt a little awkward being with them after being away for too long even though we are close to each other.

"Let's eat now I'm so hungry!" Momo shouted. I averted my eyes towards them. They are arranging the foods on the table and sat down. Chaeyoung then followed. I automatically smiled missing this moment. Being with my friends. I missed this.

"Yah Mina, will you just starve yourself there? Come eat here." Sana gestured me to eat with them. I awkwardly went and sat down beside Chaeyoung.

We then started to get foods for ourselves and started eating. It was quiet from the start. It's just us eating. Well, it is always like this in the start. Then in the middle, it will get noisy.

"Chaeyoung why aren't you eating yet?" Dahyun asked. It is just now that I noticed that she hadn't eaten and just kept staring at her plate. I was to engrossed with my thoughts that I didn't noticed.

"Huh? Oh, yeah..." She then looked at me as if saying something. 

"Is there something wrong?" I asked her.

"Ah no... I just waited for you guys to start before I get some food." She tried to chuckle but failed. What's with her?

"By the way, Mina what have you been up to these past months? You always ignore us. Don't you know how much it hurts us? It's like our hearts are being torn." Momo said while pretending to cry. Others tried not to laugh and looked at me. I laughed at how she asked me. I know she meant that I hurt them for ignoring me, but the way she said it makes it lighter for me to take.

"Just like the usual. Playing games and all. I lived with my mom now."

"Really?! Woah how does it felt like after living for many years alone?" Tzuyu asked.

"Well it was awkward at first since we don't get along well, but as time goes by, our bond gets better."

"That's good! But how about Jihyo? Do you meet and hangout often?" Sana asked. I gulped because of the question and I saw how Jeongyeon elbowed her. I looked at Chaeyoung and saw her took a deep breath while looking down.

"Yeah, we do meet and hangout often. She is just so stubborn. She won't stop bothering me unless she took me out. She don't want me to be at home all the time so she always force me to go somewhere with her. I had fun during the past months because of her and I am thankful for that. I just hope she will return sooner. I missed hanging out with her..."

"Yeah we also missed her. It will be happier if she's here because we are complete already. I should persuade her to go back sooner." Nayeon responded.

"Ah, I just have to go to the restroom." Chaeyoung suddenly said.

"Are you done eating?" Jeongyeon asked her.

"Yeah..."

"You haven't eaten that much yet. You have to eat a lot to regain your strength." I told her.

"No, I don't feel like eating anyway. I think I'm still not feeling well that's why."

"Want me to accompany you to the restroom?" I asked her.

"No, it's fine. I can manage." She smile at me and slowly went to the restroom.

What's with her really? She's been acting strange.

We just kept talking while eating to catch up with each other. We also made plans for the following weeks since it's been a long time since we spend time together.

I was happy that after all this time, they still love and sees me as before after what happened. I'm so lucky to have them.

But what really confused me today is Chaeyoung. Did she changed while I was away?

Even after eating, she just kept staring at the window. I still don't have the courage to ask her what's wrong. It seems like I am at no place to ask her that as someone who is the reason of her pain.

It hurts seeing her like that.

Back then, when something is bothering her, she won't think twice to come to me and open up about her thoughts and feelings.

Guess thing now changed.
