Imperfectly Perfect 2

16 : Too Much, Really

"Done?" Chaeyoung asks as soon as Mina gets out of the bathroom.

The council president raises one of her eyebrows at the sight she walked into. "Why are you lying on my bed?"

After eating breakfast, Mina proceeded to get ready for her 8AM class. She has now changed to her respective school uniform, with well blow dried hair.

Chaeyoung, on the other hand, volunteered to clean the dining area. She insisted on waiting for the council president to get ready and exit the building with her since her first subject is still an hour later than Mina.

"It's cozy here." The smaller girl nonchalantly answers.

"Then, you should've lied on the couch instead."

The soccer ace pursed her lips for a moment. Her whole body is indeed comfortably lying down, barging on Mina's bed right now without the owner's permission. She answers in a smirk shortly after. "But, the couch doesn't smell like you."

The council president quickly scoffs at her while holding a faint chuckle. "Do you know how you sound like a total pervert right now?"

Chaeyoung simply shrugs at her, unbothered by the allegation. She glances over the room's study table. "You were still reviewing your notes earlier? I bet you'll get a perfect score at this point."

"Well, I clearly would've got a hundred percent in my test if not for a certain tiger cub who barged into my room in the middle of my study session."

"Wow." Chaeyoung dramatically puts a hand on her chest. "I'm so hurt right now. Don't you want to see me first thing at the earliest time of the day? I thought our feelings were mutual."

Mina simply shakes her head in chuckles. She walks in front of the slightly large mirror attached to the side of the room's cabinet and scans her reflection on it while doing some finger combs. All the while, the soccer ace is smiling like an idiot, silently watching her.

"Chaeng."

"Hmm?"

The council president faces Chaeyoung's direction and points to the table beside her. "Could you throw me that hair tie? That one on top of the bedside table."

"Umm..." The soccer player points to the object, lying right on top of the furniture beside her. "This one?"

"Yep." Mina nods while smiling. "That one."

"Okay. Here, catch—" Chaeyoung was about to throw the hair tie she promptly picked up to the other girl who now has her hands ready to catch it. However, at the last second, she stopped, innocently looked at the ceiling for a moment, then put the object back again to where she just picked it up. "Umm... On second thought, I don't want to."

"Huh?" Mina immediately scrunched her brows at her, slowly putting her arms down to her side. "What do you mean you don't want to?"

"You're the one who needs it. You should come and get it."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah." Chaeyoung flashes what seemed to be a mocking smile. "Come here and get it."

"Hey, Son Chaeyoung! It is right by your side and you won't— What kind of—" Mina pursed her lips and closed her eyes. She takes a moment to pause to maybe calm herself before letting out a deep sigh after. The moment her eyes opened again, she immediately glared dagger towards the other girl in the room. "Ugh! I can't comprehend you sometimes."

The council president then grumpily walked towards the bedside table's direction with the soccer ace wearing an oddly mischievous smile. When she reached the side of her bed, she roughly picked up her hair tie, not giving the girl lying on the bed a glance.

Right at the second Mina turned her back on Chaeyoung, she wasn't able to take another step further because a pair of familiar arms wrapped her waist and tugged her. This had caused her to lose her balance a bit, forcing her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Minari." The soccer ace almost whispered to the ear of the girl she is now hugging from behind.

"Wha— what?" Mina tries to stand up but Chaeyoung is clearly trapping her with greater strength.

"I think I like this."

"Huh?" The council president glances at her. "What? Which?"

The soccer ace sweetly looks at her with a smile that fully displays her dimple. "Being with you first thing in the day... Having breakfast with you early in the morning... Waiting for you while you get ready so that we could both leave the room at the same time. I think I'm taking a great liking to all of this."

Mina stayed silent. She looks down with cheeks starting to blush. Due to their current position, she faintly feels Chaeyoung's breathing occasionally on her neck and slightly exposed shoulder.

The soccer player continued to talk. "Do you know they even gave us a name now?"

"Who?" Mina glances at her and tilts her head a bit in curiosity. "What name?"

"The rumored power couple of the university." Chaeyoung gives her a smug look like she was bragging about the topic. "They call us michaeng."

"Mi... chaeng?"

"Yeah." The soccer ace slowly explains. "Our names combined. Mina and Chaeyoung. Hence the couple's name, michaeng."

"Wow." The council president playfully scoffs. "At this point they might think you're really my girlfriend."

"Minari." Chaeyoung called out again, shrugging off the previous topic so casually.

"Hmm?"

"Are you free next Sunday?"

"Hmm..." Mina pauses to think. "I'm not sure yet. Why? Do you need me for something?"

Chaeyoung puts her chin on top of the council president's shoulder. "I want you to meet someone."

"You're setting me up again for another meetup?" The council president playfully glared at her. "Don't tell me it's another fiancée."

Chaeyoung promptly rolls her eyes. "No— Of course not. That's not—"

"Hey, I'm just joking." Mina faintly chuckles.

"It's someone else." The soccer ace speaks in a certain tone of calmness. "I want you to meet someone who is dear to me."

The council president softly nods. "I'll tell you my availability as soon as I can, okay? I promise."

"Thank you." Chaeyoung quickly stole a kiss from Mina's cheek. She consecutively unwraps her arms around the other girl while wearing an accomplished smile. "You're now free to go. As much as I want to hold you more, you have to get ready for your 8AM class."

Mina scoffed and sarcastically replied, "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Chaeyoung flashes an unbothered smile. "Wow. I feel so recharged early in the morning!"

"Tsk." The council president shook her head before standing up and returning in front of the room's large mirror. "You really are too much for me in the morning."
