Closer

Myoi's Residence
Living Room

The girls started their group study with the subject they commonly have. Sana's idea to have the study session really helped them. Sachiko is in awe looking at the girls trying their best to study for their upcoming exam.

Mina's POV

"I prepared snacks for you girls.. If you want you can sleepover." Mom offered. Thank you mom. You're the best. "Thank you Auntie.." Jihyo said. "By the way, where's your favorite person my daughter?" Mom asked. Eh? Who's my favorite person? "I know! It's Chaeyoung?!" Sana shouted. Eh?? What are you talking about. She's not my favorite person. " Oh!  That's weird I thought.. I am really your favorite person Minari" Chaeyoung said while pouting. What are you doing here?! " Did you invite me? Should I go home?" She asked. I mean. It's still early. You told me that you'll be late. "Geez. Mina.. that's not the right way to welcome your friend. Come here Chaengie.." Mom said. Chaengie?! Mom hugged Chaeyoung. She whispered something to Chaeyoung that made the latter laugh. Chaeyoung mumbled something to my mom that made my mom pinch her cheeks. "Woah! Your Mom and her daughter in law are close.."  Momo teasingly said. Daughter in law huh?! I mean Chaeyoungie is a good catch but I'm sorry guys I'm  straight. I saw mom drag Chaeyoung in the Kitchen like they are close enough to talk and laugh with each other.

Son Chaeyoung's POV

I am here in the kitchen together with Sachiko, Mina's Mom. We are close since she's my mom's best friend or should I say older sister. "Have this Kat.. You've grown up fast. And, you cut your hair short. I like it. Blonde suits you well." She said. Thank you for the food Sachi.. or should I say Auntie? Well, yeah. I kinda want to change my hair style long time ago.. "Just call me Sachi if you're comfortable calling me that way... Auntie makes me older.." But, you're really old? And besides you're Mina's mom. "Yah! I almost didn't believe your mom when she said you've become mean.. but now I know.. And, what if Mina is my daughter?" Hahaha..No.. Is stating a fact mean nowadays? I mean she's my friend, it's too informal to call you by just name." Okay.. just call me by name when we are alone.. and speaking of my daughter, do you like her?" Eh? She's my friend Sachi. Of course, I like her. "Just friends? Why making yourself in trouble when you just see her as a friend. I know you Kat.. Now, be honest.." Geez.. If someone needs help do we still need a reason to help? If you know me.. you know how kind I am. " I know you are kind but I'm really wondering how come it's always you who saves her at the moment she's needs help the most." Ok-ay I understand your point.. so, your telling me that I'm actually stalking your daughter? "Yup! You're  smart.. so, tell me? I'm not gonna tell it to anyone." *Sighs* Well, I sort of having a crush to your daughter Sachi. It's just a CRUSH. "Since, when? Tell me. I'm interested. " Ok-ay.. Since, the first day she transferred at Park Seoul University. "Woah! Really?" It's just a crush Auntie Sachiko. Why you're looking at me like that? "I'm always fine if you'll be part of our family.." Ok-ay. But, didn't mom told you about me? "About Minyoung"?" Of course I know. It's okay Kat. No worries. I'll take care of you and Minyoung." That's touching Sachi. But, what I'm trying to say is that I'm already arranged for marriage. "Really? Does your mom side grandmother and grandfather know about this?" I'm not sure. I'm going to meet my future husband after the exam. "So, a family war will start soon huh?!" Yup. So, about Mina isn't she also fixed for an arrange marriage? "She is. But she doesn't know yet." Oh! As expected to Rich Families huh?! Just choose a kind and warm hearted person for her Sachi.. The person who can protect her and love her. " Don't worry.. I know someone." "Ahem.. you know someone? Who is it mom?" Mina asked. " How long you've been there?" Mina's mom asked. " Just now..Why? Are you two talking something I shouldn't know? And why you're so close? Mina asked. " Well, we are just talking some random things.. You see.. her mom and me are best friends. And, I've known Kat.. I mean Chaeyoung long time ago." Mina's mom replied. "So, you know each other..and you didn't even tell me..?" Mina asked. "Oops. Sorry sweetie.." Sachiko replied. "Geez.. Mom.. the girls are waiting for her.. we need help with our Business management subject." Mina said. I guess I need to go now Auntie. I said. "Sure.. go ahead.. just find me if you need something Kat.. I mean Chaengie.." Sachiko said. I just smile at her and follow Mina.

It's been an hour since I started teaching these businesses administration student with their subject. Well, they easily understand what I was teaching. Well that 's it. I think I've already discussed everything about the topic. I said. " Whew! I didn't know you're really good on this.." Jihyo Unnie said. "Thank you.. now that you helped us, we finally understood the topic easily." Sana said. "Don't mention it Unnies. It's fine.. I'm happy that I was able to helped you. I said. " But, what about your subjects?" Mina asked. I'm fine.. I can manage.

Mina's POV

She can manage? As expected to this prodigy.. "By the way, I suggest let's have group vacation after exam.." Momo said. Well, it's fine with me. I said. " Count us in" Tzuyu and Dahyun said. "I guess I can join also.." Jihyo said. "What about you smarty princess?" Sana asked. "Hmm. I'm not sure if I'm free after examination. I'm going somewhere." Chaeyoung answered. "Eh? Where? America? Business trip?" Dahyun asked. "Well, it's a partly a business trip.. and you are right.. it's in America.." She answered. " The arranged marriage thing?" Jihyo asked. I saw everyone's eyes are wide open. " Yup. Meeting my future husband.." She casually answered. "You? What?!" Tzuyu asked. "Guys .Come on.. Don't be too shock.. people like us.. bound to be forced for an arrange marriage.. things like this.. " Chaeyoung answered. " Wow! I didn't expect that coming from you.." Momo said. " What you said is really possible in the future.. isn't it too early for you?! You should be enjoying right now." Sana said. So, who's the guy? I asked. "I don't know yet... I hope he's not a jerk or something else.." She answered. Can't you just reject the idea of getting married? I mean you're too young for that.. Sana is right.. You should be enjoying right now. And, what if he's a bad person. He will treat you badly. I said. "Oh! Wow.. I didn't know you're this close to my relative Mina." Jihyo teasingly said. "What if you marry my daughter, Kat?!" Mom suddenly butted in. Mooom?! What are you talking about? And when did you get here? " It's my house Mina... Kat, What do you think?!" I heard Chaeyoung laugh. She's so cute. "Well, it's not a bad idea Auntie.. Should I marry her? She's so concern to me after all." She teasingly said. Wait! Yah! It's not what you think.. I'm just... "That's not a bad idea Auntie... They look good together.. " Sana said. I saw the others nod. We look good together?! "What do you think Minari?! Should we?" Chaeyoung asked. What the.. NO!! I won't. I'm straight.. "Really?! Too bad.. I was hoping though.." She answered while pouting. "Its okay Chaeng.. Mina Unnie just rejected the top 1 student of Park Seoul University." Dahyun said while patting Chaeyoung's back.  "Better luck next time.." I heard my mother whisper to Chaeyoung. Ugh. Let's just study. Let's talk about the vacation after the exam.
