009

Dahyun went to the back to grab some supplies for the night, giving me one last glance before she disappeared.

"Chae," Tzuyu started. "Stop gawking."

"I am not, shut up." The three girls giggled, Momo pointing out the fact that my cheeks were flushing.

Groaning, I decided to go grab a coffee, wanting to get away from the group.

Sometimes I feel like our friend group is a bunch of middle schoolers, but I also wouldn't have it any other way.

After I grabbed my coffee, I bumped into Dahyun as I turned around, causing me to spill my coffee all over her.

Dahyun pouted, whining, "Great, this day really can get worse."

"I am so fucking sorry, oh my god."

What do I do? Oh, god, I'm so clumsy.

"Sana! Can you go grab a set of clothes out of the car?" "Yeah!" She replied from across the store before I heard the door jingle.

Turning back towards Dahyun, I smiled apologetically.

"Sana's gonna grab you a set of our extra clothes. Again, Dahyun, I'm so sorry."

"It's fine." She sighed, finally making eye contact with me. "They're just clothes."

Sana came up with a pair of leggings and a sweater, smiling softly at the girl soaked in coffee.

"Thank you." Dahyun took the clothes before heading towards the bathroom to change.

I smacked Sana's shoulder as soon as the girl was out of sight. "Why did you have to bring my clothes?"

"Well, it was your fault." She's not wrong.

"Plus, I thought you'd like to see your little crush wearing your clothes." Sana winked as she began walking away, only causing me to groan.

Walking back towards the group of girls, I hung my head as I was now short on coffee.

"Chaeyoung," Momo started, a serious look in her eyes. "Are you doing okay?"

"Yeah, why?" I questioned wearily, slightly concerned. Did something happen?

She shrugged, "Just curious. I don't want you to get overwhelmed on your first mission."

I smiled softly at the girl, her mirroring my smile in return.

Dahyun walked out of the bathroom, smoothing the fabric of the sweater as she walked up to us. "Thank you, guys."

"Anytime." Tzuyu responded before linking her arm with Dahyun's. "Dahyun, can we ask you a tiny favor?"

A favor? I didn't know anything about a favor.

I glanced at Sana who only nodded towards Tzuyu, a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Well," Tzuyu began, slowly walking with Dahyun towards the front door. "We want to stay here with you, but we have something very important to attend to. Would it be alright if we left Chaeyoung here with you while we ran an errand? We'll be back in a bit, don't worry."

Dahyun glanced at me but I only shrugged, just as clueless as her.

"Sure. I mean, that's fine. Is everything alright?" Dahyun sounded worried as she put her attention back on Tzuyu.

"Yes, everything's great. We just don't want you to be alone after we promised to stay here with you." Tzuyu pouted, causing Dahyun to crumble.

"Okay, well, I guess I'll see you guys later."

Tzuyu hugged Dahyun before rushing out the door. Sana and Momo followed, Momo sending Dahyun a wink before she left.

The brunette's attention was brought to me, but I could only shrug once more. "I have no idea what they're doing."

"Probably something dangerous."

Dahyun grabbed her cleaning supplies, getting to work on wiping the windows down.

"Dangerous? Why do you say dangerous?"

"Well, they don't want you tagging along. So clearly it's something they don't feel you can handle."

Is it? Those bitches.

My phone buzzed in my pocket, and when I looked, it was a text from Sana.

Sana-unnie
sorry, Chae. we got a mini mission from Nayeon and didn't want to overwhelm you. have fun on your date! 💕

Sighing, I shoved my phone into my pocket.

"What's wrong?" Dahyun questioned, turning her attention towards me. Her big doe eyes were shown with concern as she awaited a response.

"Nothing, Sana's just being an ass."

Nodding, she went back to cleaning the windows.

"So," Dahyun began, standing on her tippy toes in order to reach the top of the window. "What are you guys out doing? Why are you having to hang out with me until nine."

Biting my lip, I wondered if I should tell her or not. I don't know if I'm allowed to tell her.

"I mean," She continued, never looking back at me as she spoke. "Is this some kind of initiation thing? Are you guys out doing something and need to kill some time?"

She finally turned around to face me, the cleaning rag in her hand dangling from it as she questioned, "Also, who's the girl who keeps winking at me?"

"That's Momo. She's our weaponry specialist."

Dahyun's brow raised at the title, causing a spark of jealousy to ignite within me.

Is she really that interested in Momo's title? And why am I jealous? I should learn weaponry.

"Do you have a weapon?" Dahyun questioned, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"No, only members carry weapons." She nodded, taking her cleaning supplies and walking off.

I watched her walk away, sighing to myself as I tried to push the feelings that were rising inside of me deep down.

She's too good for you, Chae, give it up.
