Imperfectly Perfect 2

50 : The Ace's Crush (3)

Chaeyoung looks at Mina with the same delicate eyes that are hovering on her. "I have always been in love with you all this time. You innocently made me fall so hard for you every single waking up of the day that I don't even know now how to get out of your grasp."

"Chaeng—"

"And you have got to better take responsibility for me."

Mina suddenly pouts and unknowingly projects her best puppy eyes. "Baby cub."

Chaeyoung blinks a couple of times with a wide smile slowly forming on her face. She is definitely finding the confused girl in front of her purely adorable. She decides to reply in a bit of a tease. "What? Don't tell me you're not willing to take responsibility for—"

"What should I do?" The council president continued to pout, slightly wiggling her body sideways like a shy teenage girl in front of her crush.

"What should you do with what?"

"To take responsibility for you."

The smaller girl bites her lower lip, trying her best to stifle the emotion that is somehow stirred by how Mina is acting in her eyes right now. Despite the combined worried and oddly serious look on Mina's face, the soccer ace continued the tease. "Just give me beautiful kids in the future."

"What—"

"And keep on loving me." Chaeyoung states in a rather confident tone, almost like challenging the other girl with her wits. "Just those two. Pretty simple, isn't it?"

The soccer girl said all of it while expecting that the council president would burst in annoyance and hit her like the usual Mina does.

However, what the soccer ace has not accounted for was that the council president was so flustered by the revelation she just received today. It was to the point where Mina's logical brain stopped working momentarily.

"I— What— what are you talking about?" Mina paused for a second. She looks down, fiddles with her fingers, and mumbled really softly in a voice enough only for Chaeyoung to barely hear. "Of— of course, those two are already a given. I— I will give you kids in— in the future and I will never stop loving you."

Upon hearing Mina's response, Chaeyoung was abruptly put in a daze for a good couple of minutes. She is absolutely not expecting that her naughty statements would backfire really hard at her.

"Wow." The smaller girl utters in amusement. "Wow, Minari."

"Wha— what?"

"Thank goodness we are in a public place right now." The soccer ace gulps, exhales generously, and shakes her head vigorously. "Ugh! Why do we have to be in a public place right now?"

"What do you—"

"Nothing. Never mind." Chaeyoung quickly replies and shrugs, then forces some chuckles. She looks at the innocent and adorably looking girl in front of her. "I just wanted to say that that's what you get for having all of reality dropped on you in one go. You should've believed me before when I told you so."

"Ugh." Mina covers her face as her cheeks start to heat. She continues in a whine that is sounding rather pleasing to the soccer ace's ears. "I don't know why but this is making me feel— Ugh. The things you make me feel, Son Chaeyoung."

"Tsk." Chaeyoung squints at her with a smirk. "Don't even start me with the things that you always make me feel, Myoi Mina."

"Ugh. Chaeeennggg." The council president did not stop with her oddly childish behavior. It's like her adult brain has now stopped working. She is absolutely unaware of her current effects on the tiger cub who is now showing her full dimples in front of her.

"Whaaatt?" Chaeyoung faintly chuckles, no longer bothering to hide how she finds Mina so cute right now. "What is it, Minari?"

"I feel like— I feel like..." Mina slowly peeked from her hand to shyly look at the soccer ace. "I feel like I fell for you all over again, Son Chaeyoung. Why am I suddenly feeling like this?"

And that is when Chaeyoung slowly balled both her hands. That is when she began to grip and eventually crumple the poor tissue papers that were lying on top of their table. That is when the soccer ace decided to close her eyes for a couple of seconds while inhaling really deeply.

"Minari—"

"Bay cub." Mina continued to speak. "I feel like my whole future just flashed in my mind and I can't imagine you not being there. I think—"

"MINARI."

"Hmm?"

"Stop talking."

"Hu— Huh?"

"Stop talking and give me your hand." Chaeyoung puts her hand in front of the council president. "Now."

Mina, although not getting why, slowly puts her hand for the soccer ace to hold.

And the moment their hands made contact, Chaeyoung gently pulled Mina.

And Chaeyoung placed her lips over Mina.

It was a simple chaste kiss that lasted only for about four seconds. But for the two girls, it was like time stopped for a moment especially when they simply gazed at each other after that.

"Hey, Son Chae—"

And Chaeyoung decided to quickly peck Mina's lips, cutting whatever statement the latter was about to make. "Myoi Mina. I'm warning you."

The smaller girl leans in to whisper into Mina's ear. "One more sweet word from you and I guarantee you that I will conveniently forget that we are in the middle of a busy coffee shop. I swear that I am going to kiss you again and who knows how passionate I would do it next time with my self control obviously failing right now. So Minari, stop talking for now. Please. My heart can't take it anymore."

So without any further protest or any word out, Mina immediately pulled her hand from Chaeyoung to cover her really red face. The council president is surely the epitome of a blushing mess of a girl right now.

Chaeyoung stares at the girl in front of her in awe, consecutively mumbling under her breath. "Seriously? Even that? Good lord, why does everything she does right now look cute and gives me some kind of a heart attack?" She softly shakes her head. "I have to keep in mind that a very honest Minari is a super dangerous Minari."
