Be Mine, My Rival || Myoui Mina (English Version)

Chapter 42

Y/N'S POV

After class, I headed straight home since their eyes were incessantly curious about what Dahyun and I did earlier.

Since it's not the right time to let them know about what we talked about, let's just make a smooth escape for now.

I'll tell them when my feelings are 100% clear when my body, mind, and soul have fully accepted it.

And now that I'm lying on the bed, all I did was read, but for the first time in a century, I can't understand what I'm reading.

I'm just stuck on chapter 9 of the book I'm reading, my mind is wandering.

Did my thoughts get too chaotic because of what I discussed with Dubu?

What if...

What if my sudden softness towards that penguin indicates that I'm slowly falling for her?

If I'm not mistaken, I enjoyed the moment when we pretended to be a couple to get Jimin off her back, which is weird.

Even sending a message to her has become a big deal, and I even asked Sana for help just to accompany me to the canteen when I could have told her in person.

Maybe I'm just feeling awkward since I'm not usually like this with her, right?

But what is this feeling every time our eyes meet?

It's like there are butterflies in my stomach, and my heart beats faster.

Did I get hit hard when that happened?

Gosh.

Is it possible that this is because the way I stared at her, not realizing that I'm already studying every feature of her face, which mesmerizes me?

ALWAYS.

That's when I realize that I find her beautiful, and I only snap out of it when she turns around and catches me staring at her.

Which is not right, for sure it's weird on her part, which is also weird on my part.

Shemz, I really don't know about these things.

What if one day my feelings for her are confirmed to be real?

Is that normal?

Is it normal to fall in love, especially with your number one rival?

What if—

I blink several times when I hear my phone constantly notifying me about our group chat. They're being noisy again since we have nothing to do but rest and relax.

Dahyun : bOnJoUR ~

Jeongyeon: Bonjour, for real? Are you in Switzerland?

Dahyun: Don't be annoying, it's my thing, okay?

Chaeyoung: You guys are being childish.

Jeongyeon: Wow, as if your height doesn't look like a child's, smol bean.

Chaeyoung: WhAt'S wRoNg WiTh My HeIgHt?

: Maybe you wanna wrestle right now?

Dahyun: Hmmp 🙄

: Remember: Small but terrible.

Chaeyoung: Hold on, you act like you're so tall when we're practically the same 😑

Jeongyeon: HAHAHAHHAHAHA BOOM

: Is this a fight between dwarfs?

: WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *grabs the popcorn

Dahyun: Oh shut up, bitch Jeongyeon, you think you're tall?

Jeongyeon: Of course!

Tzuyu: Wow, I feel embarrassed...

Chaeyoung: Tzuyu, that annoying meddler is picking on us, it's irritating.

Tzuyu: No one cares, smol bean.

Chaeyoung: What the heck 😑🔪

Dahyun: Do you guys want to start a waresae?

Tzuyu: Waresae?

Dahyun: It was a typo, gosh.

Tzuyu: Okay?

Dahyun: It's the keyboard's fault! I meant to type "war" not "waresae"

Tzuyu: You're blaming the keyboard when you're the one doing the typing.

What's going on?

Chaeyoung: Hey, what's up?

Tzuyu: What a miracle, se's chatting here for the first time.

Dahyun: HALLELUJAH

Jeongyeon: 😇

Tzuyu: This "👿" suits you better.

Jeongyeon: Oh, really? 😛

Since it's all just nonsense, I locked my phone, laid down, and zoned out.

I don't know why I'm doing this, but I just want to reflect since a lot of questions are running through my mind right now.

I want clear answers, but how?

If I'm already confused from the beginning, how will it be?

....

I skip some conversations as they can't be translated into English. I apologize for that, but the flow is still good, so don't worry. Enjoy reading!
