The Tale of the Gingerhead (CATNIPZ/BBANGSAZ FANFIC)

Chapter 11: Friend (?)

[A/N: First, I wanna warn everybody that this story is not proofread and with that you'll stumble upon grammatical errors and such. So I'll apologize in advance and ask for everyone's understanding. Recently, I've been getting REALLY busy and tried at work, I am currently taking on the early stage of adulting and I have come to conclude that this is the hardest part, as of now. Trying to adapt to everything, doing your best not to make any mistake that will disappoint your colleagues/seniors, given no chance to voice out your own thoughts, it was pretty tiring, no, not pretty tiring. Really tiring, I'm dead beat. And it's funny because I'm only just staring and I feel like giving up.

Nevertheless, I can't give up now. This is just the beginning, this too, will pass.

Anyways, enough with my story, let's get to our story.

-----

Minji wasn't sure what to do at this point, she badly wants to just ask Hanni to sit beside her but that would make that stupid Jungwon act out, she just knows he will because after all, this whole thing was his idea in the first place.

But Minji badly wants to just snatch Hanni away from that guy, she just can't stand the stares and the smiles, and the faint touches that the guy gives Hanni. It makes her blood boil.

Minji tried to push away the jealousy, yes, she's certain now. She's so jealous as hell. Heck, this whole pretend thing even started from that, if it weren't for that prick Jungwon confronting her that day.

She knows, no matter how she tries to divert her attention, it's always Hanni, Hanni, Hanni. She clenches her hand resting on her own leg.

She turns to her side and it was too late that she boticed that Haerin has been eyeing her for a while now. Her gaze was unreadable, she can't tell what it meand, it looks void and lacks emotions.

Minji shot her a 'What?' look but the latter just shifts her eyes back at the fish-shaped waffles that Minji made, totally ignoring her.

Minji eyebrows still furrowed, she looked at nothing in particular, trying to figure out what was on Haerin's mind.

There were stolen glances, she would also catch Hanni looking at her then Haerin through the mirror. She too can't understand what that look means.

Is Hanni perhaps... disgusted by her? Is she... homophobic? That idea makes Minji's heart sank. It hurts just as she knew she liked her and chooses to refuse her.

"WOW! Let's go! I love the environment!" Minji was woken up when she heard Yujin screams excitedly like she always does when she'd excited, like an excited puppy.

Minji stretched and looked to her side, Haerin was no longer sitting beside her, she abruptly looks around and then out the windows. She spots her with Karina, and Sulhyoon.

She immediately grabs her stuffs and almost sprints just to get to them fast.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"

Haerin was about to speak up but Karina says teasingly,
"Gosh, being away from your girlfriend even just for a second won't hurt Minji."

"Girlfriend?—" Haerin asks, shooting Minji a look who immediately wraps an arm over her shoulders and cover her mouth with the other unoccupied hand.

Minji chuckles nervously and says to Karina with an eyesmile.
"D-Don't call her that, she's still not used to that."

Karina playfully rolled her eyes at them and says before leaving,
"Yeah, whatever Kim."

Once the pretty girl is out if sight, Minji removes her hand.
"What's a girlfriend, Minji?" the taller one whispered shouted at her.
"I'll tell you later when it's just us so for now don't question things, okay?" then she led them to where the others went.
