"Minari?"

Chaeyoung scanned the surroundings, searching for any sign of Mina. However, her girlfriend was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pang in her heart, a sense of concern but mostly unease.

Jihyo noticed Chaeyoung's anxious movements and questioned her with concern, "What is it, Chaeng?"

Chaeyoung's voice was tinged with worry as she explained, "It's... I'm searching for Minari..."

Nayeon, overhearing their conversation, chimed in, joining the search, "Now that you mention it, where is she??"

Then Dahyun replied casually, "She exited the cafeteria not too long ago."

Nayeon's brow furrowed in confusion as she spoke, "Really? I didn't notice her at all. Did she go to find Tzuyu and Y/N?"

Chaeyoung sighed with a hint of relief and understanding. Realizing the reason why Mina had left the cafeteria.

With a knowing smile, she responded, "Yeah, I think so..."

Chaeryeong, silently standing by, had been listening to the conversation, her eyes observing the expressions on the faces of the girls, especially focusing on Chaeyoung.

"It's cold..." Y/N let out a small complain as Tzuyu gently placed a bag of ice against her puffy eyes.

Y/N, feeling the chill of the ice against her skin, instinctively tried to remove it, her hand reaching up to remove the ice bag away.

But another hand reacted immediately, her soft grip catching Y/N's hand in time, gently stopping her from removing the ice bag.

"Don't take it off. You need it." Tzuyu said, her words leaving no room for argument.

"Where did you even find this bag of ice..." Y/N asked curiously.
At the same time, she felt her hand intertwined with the same hand who stopped her from removing the bag of ice but she didn't pay attention to it.

"What can I say? With this face, I can get anything." Tzuyu responded confidently, but despite that, her expression remained expressionless.

Y/N's patience was clearly running thin, not even a minute after the bag of ice was placed, she asked pleadingly, "Can I take it off now?"

Tzuyu let out an exasperated sigh before responding, "Okay, you can take it off. But later, you have to put it back. Understood?"

Y/N's playful response was, "Yes, mother~" as she immediately removed the bag of ice. She then slowly opened her eyes, adjusting them to the light.

Letting a soft chuckle, Tzuyu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Y/N's response.

Meanwhile, Mina watched this exchange with Y/N and Tzuyu, a small smile playing on her lips. She observed the dynamics between them but she felt something inside her, that she felt only with Y/N.

Mina unknowingly tightened her grip on Y/N's hand. Just after, Y/N responded with a gentle gesture, rubbing her thumb against Mina's hand.

Mina's heart fluttered at the gesture of Y/N rubbing her thumb against her hand. Her smile widened, warmed by the small yet meaningful gesture.

In Y/N's mind, a sense of flustered surprise began to take hold. She hadn't realized until now that she had been holding Mina's hand all along.

"How long have we been holding hands?? Oh gosh..." Y/N thought, blushing in secret.
