Who we are

Chapter 19

Chaeyoung’s POV

I was starting to get pretty worried about Mina-unnie again. She hasn’t answered any texts or calls from me or to Momo and Sana. I understand that the news was hard, but she didn’t have to shut me out. I deeply care about her and I want to help comfort her.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the story that Nayeon unnie and Dahyun told me about Mina unnie’s Dad. Apparently he had an affair and one day Mina unnie found out. Instead of keeping it a secret like her dad wanted to, she told her mom. Her mom ended up filling for a divorce and her dad treated her like shit and blames the breakup of the family on her. Which is an absolutely horrible thing to do, I can’t imagine how she feels.

Then Nayeon unnie went on to tell me how her dad left and stayed with the woman who he cheated with. Apparently the woman had kids, Chungha and Somi, who did whatever they could to hurt and mess with Mina unnie. That especially tore my heart. How could anyone, even people who didn’t really know her treat her that way. I already hate Somi and Chungha with everything. Not because I’m siding with Mina unnie, but because they thought it was okay to torture and bully someone.

I was going to make sure they never hurt Mina unnie ever again. Like I’ve said before, I’d anything for her. Someone needs to be there for Mina unnie for a chance and show her it’s okay to not be fine.

Mina’s POV

I hate Mondays. Force to go to school that I share with three people that I hate, who have hurt me so much in the past year. But I can’t let them do it again. I can’t give them satisfaction. So I’m going to do one thing I do best, pretend to be strong and not let them bring me down. I have to act like I don’t give a shit, so that maybe one day I’ll believe it enough to not have pretend.

So I push myself to get through my daily routine before heading out the door to the car with my sisters. When I got to first period I went to my desk and slouched. I didn’t want to be here at all, but if I want to make something of life I have to be. I rested my head on the desk and kept repeating that today was going to be a breeze and that I’d get through it.

I felt someone lightly touch my right shoulder and I looked up to see Chaeyoung giving me such an adorable smile, but you could see the worry in her eyes.

“Hey Mina unnie, how are you?”

“Chaeyoung I’m fine, okay. No need to worry.” I replied giving her a half smile.

She still looked pretty worried, but sat down because class was about to start.

The day ended up going by fast because I kept facing out so much today. I honestly didn’t bother to try today. I just wasn’t in it to try.

So during lunch, I just couldn’t handle being in the crowds of people all talking about stupid stuff, so I went to the library. I walked around looking for something to read, but I couldn’t make a decision, so I just kept walking around and around until lunch ended.

When the final bell rung signaling the end of school, I couldn’t have been happier. I started walking because today my sisters were busy and I didn’t feel like asking my friends for a ride. But I heard someone yell my name and looked back to see Chaeyoung running towards me.

“Hey. Where are you going? Plus where the heck were you at lunch? I was looking everywhere for you.” She said pretty loud.

“I was in the library and I’m going home now okay. So calm down.”

“Calm down?! I was worried sick Mina unnie.”

“Yu don’t need to be.” I replied kind of pissed off. I didn’t want to worry her or anyone, but I just couldn’t do talking today with anyone. Of course after I said that she gave me a disbelief and was about to say something before someone interrupted.

“Aww having a fight with your girlfriend Mina?” asked Somi in a pretend sympathetic way.

“We aren’t together. And you shouldn’t be listening in.” I replied.

Somi laughed before saying, “It was nice to see you too. Not. And I can do whatever the hell I want.” She said before stepping closer to me.

“Besides what are you going to do Mina. You going to break down and cry like last time. You’re weak, you always have been. No wonder your dad didn’t want to spend another second with you.”

The moment she said that, I felt my heart tearing a little. But I couldn’t show her she got to me.

“Who the fu*ck are you to ever talk to her like that…….Never mind I know, you’re the asshole with the bitch of sister.” Said Chaeyoung. Woah, she surprised with her language, in all honesty I’m not one for bad mouthing, but it was hot coming from her.

But I didn’t want to get Chaeyoung on his bad side, I know he’s good at getting back at people. So I grabbed her hand and pulled her away as I told her she wasn’t worth the trouble. She gave me a puzzled look but followed me to her car.

But ofcourse, Somi couldn’t give a rest.

“You’re going to run away like always? So typical of you Mina…I guess now I know how Sinb died. Let me guess you ran too huh?”

Every second she kept talking, my anger kept building up. I hated her so much.

“Well, she probably deserved to die anyway right. She was a piece of shit. She was worthless.”

I stopped walking. I could hardly breathe because I was so angry. How dare she talk about Sinb like that. It wasn’t fair, she didn’t even know her. I was practically shaking now, I was balling my fists so hard.

“What did it feel like. To leave him behind to die Mina? Does it haunt y……………”

I didn’t give her time to finish her sentence before I turned around and punched her as hard as I could . She immediately cupped her face with her hands and I froze in shock of what I just did. I’ve never punched anyone before. And my hand hurts so much.

I guess I couldn’t hear Chaeyoung over the pounding of my heart beat because she then grabbed me by my waist and pulled me back. She made me look at her in the eye before giving me a reassuring tight hug. I guess she could still feel me shaking because she held on for a while longer.

“Wow. Didn’t know you had that in you Mina. Don’t celebrate though, I’ll get you back.” Somi said as she was on the floor covering her face.

Chaeyoung and I both flipped her off before going to her car. My hand hurts so much, so Chaeyoung drove me to her house which was closer.
