...When Chaeyoung realized what she was doing, she promptly pulled away from Mina, already expecting an unfriendly reaction from the other young woman. Maybe Mina would even slap her, but Mina just looked at her for a few seconds, neither of them able to say a single word. Then the Korean was surprised when Mina placed her hands on her face, pulled her closer, and kissed her much more intensely.
Chaeyoung closed her eyes and surrendered to the moment. It was a mix of such good and inexplicable sensations, she had never felt anything like it: Mina's hands gently holding her face, her tongue in her mouth, those sweet lips against hers, it was all so unique, she had never felt such pleasure in her life.
This time, Mina led the kiss since she was much more experienced than her Korean maid, as she had been dating Yoshiro for years, and before him, she had kissed another boy, while Chaeyoung had only been kissed by Inbok once.
That tender moment lasted for a few long seconds, but when Chaeyoung, increasingly engulfed by the heat of the moment, placed her hands on the Japanese girl's waist, making her feel unimaginable things in parts of her body she never would have considered, Mina ended up pulling away from her rather abruptly.
What kind of madness was that?
"I... I have to go." Mina said, completely bewildered, looking down and quickly leaving the room, leaving Chaeyoung static and completely stunned by what had just happened.

Mina entered her room without even knowing how she had gotten there, as she was so nervous and confused that she could barely see the way through the corridor.
She locked the door and went to lie down on her bed. She hugged the pillow, still trying to understand what she had just done. There was no explanation for her behavior, nor any reason for her to have acted so impulsively.
She was feeling so restless, wanting to run aimlessly, not even knowing what was happening anymore.
Mariko might not wear feminine clothes, nor have long hair like most women, but she was still a girl, and that made everything so much more wrong, and then there was Yoshiro...
"Yoshiro!" Mina exclaimed out loud, remembering that she hadn't even responded to the letter from her fiancé that had arrived days ago. He would be waiting much longer than usual for Mina's letter. So many things had happened in the past few days that she had ended up forgetting about the poor boy.
Mina sighed deeply, and placed the pillow over her head, staying in that position for some time. But the moment she uncovered her face, she saw the tiger-shaped origami near the headboard and felt her heart race.
How could she be feeling this way? She must be going crazy; it was the only explanation.

That night, as expected, Mina couldn't sleep well. Her sleep was restless, with her waking up several times during the night, scared and with her heart racing.
Her big ballet performance was getting closer and she wasn't eating or sleeping properly, doing everything wrong, and felt very guilty about it, but it was a situation she couldn't avoid.
She got up early, took a hot shower, and stayed in her room. She didn't know how she should act if she ran into Mariko around the house. Even though she had barely eaten the day before, she didn't feel hungry at all. She decided she would write a response to Yoshiro and then take it to the post office. It would be good for her to get out, breathe some fresh air, and clear her head away from home.
