Chaeyoung decided to spend some quality time with her best friends, Tzuyu and Dahyun. They had a tradition of meeting up once a week to catch up and talk about anything and everything. This time, they met at their favorite café, settling into their usual corner booth.
Tzuyu noticed the troubled look on Chaeyoung's face and asked, "What's the matter, Chaeyoung? You seem a bit off today."
Chaeyoung took a deep breath, her fingers nervously tracing the rim of her coffee cup. "I need to go back to America. Yeonjun needs me."
Dahyun's expression turned sour, and she muttered, "That idiot Yeonjun. Can't he handle anything on his own?"
Chaeyoung shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips despite the situation. "It's not his fault, Dahyun. There's a lot going on with the company, and he really needs my help."
Tzuyu leaned in, her eyes serious. "Does Mina know about this?"
Chaeyoung's smile faded, and she shook her head. "Not yet. I haven't told her."
Dahyun sighed and scolded her. "Chaeyoung, you should have told Mina first! This is important."
Chaeyoung looked down, guilt creeping into her voice. "I know. I just... I have something important to do before I leave."
Tzuyu and Dahyun exchanged curious glances. "What is it?" Tzuyu asked.
Chaeyoung hesitated, then said, "I want to propose to Mina and get married before I go back to America."
Both Tzuyu and Dahyun's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow," Tzuyu said, a mixture of shock and admiration in her voice. "That's huge, Chaeyoung. But what about Mina's career? She's still part of TWICE."
Chaeyoung nodded, understanding the concern. "I know. It's up to Mina to decide. I don't want to pressure her into anything, but I also want her to know how serious I am about our future together. I want to make her mine."
Dahyun smiled softly. "You really love her, don't you?"
Chaeyoung's eyes softened. "With all my heart. I'm worried about her career, but I also want to settle down with her. I think we can make it work, no matter what."
Tzuyu reached over and squeezed Chaeyoung's hand. "You two have been through so much together. If anyone can make this work, it's you and Mina. Just make sure to talk to her about everything."
Dahyun nodded in agreement. "Yeah, communication is key. And whatever happens, we'll support you both."
Chaeyoung felt a wave of gratitude towards her friends. "Thank you, guys. Your support means everything to me."
Tzuyu and Dahyun smiled, their eyes filled with warmth and encouragement. "Go get your girl, Chaeyoung," Dahyun said with a wink.
Chaeyoung laughed, feeling a renewed sense of determination. "I will. And I'll make sure to do it right."

Chaeyoung and Mina cherished their time together, savoring every precious moment. This evening, they decided to stay in, enjoying the comfort and intimacy of their home. Mina lay on their bed, her muscles tense from a long day of rehearsals and meetings. Chaeyoung, ever attentive, offered to give her a massage.
Mina sighed contentedly as Chaeyoung's skilled hands worked on the knots in her back. "You always know how to make me feel better," she murmured, a smile playing on her lips.
Chaeyoung grinned, her heart swelling with love for Mina. "That's my job, isn't it?" She leaned down, peppering Mina's back with gentle kisses. "You deserve to be pampered."
Mina closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation of Chaeyoung's hands and lips on her skin. "I could get used to this," she said, her voice filled with warmth and contentment.
