Painful Scars [Jeongmo ft. Michaeng]

Chapter 26

Mina POV

"Mina ya, let's go to a place that makes you feel better" Chaeyoung said taking my hand while we were walking on the streets.

Chaeyoung thought about me so much that I didn't deserve her. She cared so much about me, and always wanted me to feel better. My heart started beating fast again. I smiled and nodded.

Chaeyoung took me to a cafe, where we bought milkshakes. Then we went to a park taking pictures of each other. After finishing our drinks, we went to a pedestrian street where there were a lot of people who danced in public and made small 'performances' for fun.

"Mina ya, let's join them" Chaeyoung chuckled and looked fascinating at the people who danced.

"N-no, I'm too embarassed" I said shyly.

"Fine then" Chaeyoung already started dancing to the music that was blasting.

I couldn't help but laugh. Chaeyoung could always embarrass herself without feeling shame. I envy her. Chaeyoung then made a slow mo move where she shot an arrow at me and winked. I hid my red face and looked away. Why did she have to be so extra?

"Yah, don't be like this, it's fun" Chaeyoung approached me.

"No it's not, it's embarrassing" I said still hiding my face.

Chaeyoung chuckled and took my hand.

"Let's go eat somewhere, I'm already hungry, I bet you're hungry too. You haven't eaten anything since you performed" Chaeyoung dragged me away from the dancing crowd.

We went to a 'fancy restaurant' like Chaeyoung named it and we eventually took a seat after we had ordered some food. I noticed that Chaeyoung kept holding onto her harmed shoulder in pain. She just never admitted that it really hurted her. I remembered seeing her getting shot by that guy I was 'dating'. I remembered the blood that was flowing from her shoulder, and how she collapsed on the ground. I had called the ambulance at that time. That guy really hated Chaeyoung, and I didn't want him to see her again. I reached for her shoulder and patted it. She looked at me.

"Chaeyoung, I know this really hurts you, and it's my fault"

Chaeyoung smiled.

"No, it's not. I know it's not you" she caressed my hand.

"But I was the one who couldn't protect you when that happened"

"It's okay, it's not your fault. The most important thing is, that you performed. I should be the one to apologize, for not showing up"

How could she feel guilty for that? I just don't get how she always puts herself in the guilty position.

"No!" I blurted out a little too loud.

I could feel a couple of people staring at us.

"Well uhm.....I mean, it's not your fault Chaeyoung, you're the one who made me do this. I never really said it back then, but I really appreciated your help"

Chaeyoung smiled widely revealing her dimple.

"Enjoy your food" the waiter served our food and we began eating right away.

I glanced at Chaeyoung who was enjoying her food so much that even her dimple showed while eating it.

"Shouldn't you say 'you too'?" I teased.

Chaeyoung gave me the 'stop it' look that made me chuckle.

After a while, the day reached its end and we were heading back home. We walked on a small bridge over a small river that reflected the late sunset. We stopped as we reached the middle of the bridge and started admiring the sun that almost disappeared. It was a beautiful scenery with the chill breeze around us.

"Chaeyoung ah" I spoke not taking my eyes off the view.

"I made it"

Chaeyoung looked at me and smiled.

"I knew you could do it. Your feeling reached me at the hospital"

Chaeyoung's words made me shocked and happy at the same time. I suddenly remembered what I had told Chaeyoung in my heart while I performed.

"Even though you won't see me, I hope the feeling reaches you"

It really did reach her.

Chaeyoung suddenly lets out a little laugh. I looked at her in confusion.

"What's so funny?"

She looked at the view again.

"You really thought I was dead?" She kept laughing.

"Yahh, I'm sorry, I was just really out of my mind after that performance"

Chaeyoung then looked at me and held my hand.

"You know, life has many surprises and we can't always predict what's coming next"

"Yeah?" I looked like a big question mark standing in front of her.

"Even this surprise was unpredictable" Chaeyoung said and pushed me in the water with her jumping with me.

The bridge was a little high, so I felt like I had jumped from a tower. Chaeyoung winked at me before we both fell in the water.

"CHAEYOUNG!" I shouted but Chaeyoung splashed water on me.

"YAH, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" I said swimming after her and tried to splash water back.

Chaeyoung just laughed and swam away. After a while I found myself laughing too. Even though I was completely soaked in water, Chaeyoung made it all seem fun. She then helped me get up from the river. We were both wet from the river, but we still had fun teasing each other.

"Let's go home now" she gave me the same wink and wrapped her arm around me while we walked.

She then took out her phone.

"You know why I winked at you? Because I actually took a picture while we jumped. You should've seen yourself" Chaeyoung chuckled and showed me the selfie on her phone.

Chaeyoung looked like she was enjoying it, while you could see me glaring at her while I was scared at the same time.

I chuckled too. I actually loved jumping with Chaeyoung from the bridge at the sunset. This was my favorite moment life. To just enjoy being free with the one you loved. Chaeyoung made me do things I had never expected to do. She gave me the courage and hope I had lost. I thanked her so much from the bottom of my heart.

Even though it was dark, Chaeyoung kept following me to my house so I won't feel alone or scared. We stood in front of the backyard. I looked at Chaeyoung and smiled.

"Thank you" I left a peck on her forehead.

Chaeyoung smiled back.

But as soon as silence kicked in, random guys appeared out of nowhere and trapped Chaeyoung. One of the guys quickly grabbed Chaeyoung so hard that she couldn't run away.

"What are you doing here? Leave her alone?!"

Then someone approached us. That someone who I didn't want to see again.

"D-Dad?"
