THE GIRLFRIEND CONTRACT [BBANGSAZ]

Chapter 14: Holding Her Hands

Third Person's POV:

The sun sets, the night deepens, but that black-haired girl doesn't stop strolling around the Seoul. She wanted to give up and return sometimes...... But the thought of her girlfriend kept her on the track. Exhausted, sweats dripping off her face and panting , she's looking like a messy person now. Taking out the phone, she calls her younger cousin. "Hyein, any updates?"

Unfortunatly, the youngest replies in the negative, destroying that little hope she had in heart. Not saying anything back, she abruptly hangs up the call, unable to keep frustration in herself. She punches the wall, causing people look at her. Her hands can't help but to hurt, her knuckles turns white. But, she doesn't care. Gritting teeth, she endures the pain, but the worry roaming around her head doesn't disappear with this action.

She shrugs off, starts walking. Again, searching for Hanni everywhere. People might be thinking her crazy. It isn't wrong though. She really has gone crazy for Hanni.

Love...... That's what Minji promised not to be in......

She thinks there is nothing such as 'Love', after being betrayed by her first love......

Now, what she is doing, isn't out of love for Hanni. At least in her eyes.

She can feel her heart repeating the same question- "Why are you doing all these for her?"

And her answer is- "I care for her". But she can understand it's just an excuse.

But........ She is insisting herself to swallow the excuse and not to explore her true feelings........

She has wore a cap and a glass. Mask is covering lower part of her face. She has taken all steps not to get recognized in public. She knows, how crazy her fans can be. Thus, she doesn't want to make chaos, when she isn't at ease.

Chugging all water with a single gulp, she clutches the empty water bottle, twisting it. Her gazes shift on the road, eyes wandering around the street. And then...... she notices a familiar figure, standing on the other side of road.

Minji's heart skips a beat, when she witnesses her. That bang, that baby face while being shortie...... It's she who comes first into Minji's mind......

"Hanni", an inaudible murmur escapes her mouth unknowingly.......

When that figure starts walking away, Minji follows her. She can't even call her loudly, as she has fear to get caught in public, if someone hears her voice.

The person who's being chased isn't walking that fast, but Minji is still struggling to reach her. Sometimes bumping on someone, sometimes tripping over legs- but she carries on walking behind her.

The shorter finally stops, sitting on the bench. Upping her head, she faces the moon, the soft moonlit reflects all over her face, making more angelic than it already is. Minji continues, in spite of stunning to see such beautiful woman. She shouts, "HANNI!" Her voice echoes through the park.

The shorter sees the taller coming, being surprised. She stands up, eyes locked on the latter. Minji approaches her, having an anger-filled appearance. With a firm tone, she scolds the younger, "What do you think you are doing?!!!"

Taken aback, Hanni stays silent, flinching and fearing Minji's enraged behaviours. She downs her head, whispers, "Sorry, I wanted to some space to gather my thoughts."

"Some spaces?" Minji repeats the phrase. Her hands land on Hanni's shoulders, grabbing them. She pulls her closer, raises voice, "Don't you think you should have told me once before leaving?"
