Mission: Make Him Love Me

Chapter 19

[Dedicated to all JiRei/ReiHyo shippers! Hahaha 😂😂 saranghae yeorobun! Happy reading!]

I woke up feeling something over my body. I slowly shot my eyes open and rub them while trying to figure out where I am. I felt a blanket on top of me.

I'm still inside the room. Huh. Guess I fell asleep while watching over Mina. Wait... Mina.

I was about to shot my body up when I saw a beautiful figure above me. Park Jihyo.

"J-Jihyo?"

She looked down at me and smiled.

JH: hey. You're finally awake.

"How long was I sleeping?" I slowly sat up.

JH: an hour or so. Mina is still sleeping though but her fever has gone down a bit already so no need to worry.

"Oh. That's good then."  I ran my hand through my hair.

JH: you can go back to sleep if you want.

She gently patted me and smiled.

"Nah. I was just a bit tired earlier so it's alright." I smiled back.

Out of nowhere, Jihyo leaned her head on my shoulder. I blinked a few times before speaking.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling sick too?"

JH: no pabo. *chuckles* am I not allowed to lean my head on your shoulder?

"I-it's not that. I was just a bit surprised."

JH: hmm. You know... sometimes I feel like a useless and selfish leader.

"How come?"

JH: I don't know. I want us to be all out everytime we perform. Little do I know my members are getting sick due to overwork.

I can feel extreme sadness and disappointment from her voice. I gently held her hand and squeezed it a bit.

"Don't say that, Jihyo. You're a great leader. You're like a mom and dad to all of them. You always care for them, making sure they eat well and rest well. Although lack of rest is inevitable since you're all idols. But all in all you're a great leader. They're lucky to have you." Little did I know that our hands are slowly getting intertwined.

Jihyo looked at me and smiled, blushing a bit.

JH: I guess you're right. Maybe I was just overthinking about things. And mom and dad suits Nayeon and Jeongyeon more than me, y'know.

We both let out a soft chuckle.

JH: hey, I heard you used to play piano.

"I'm guessing Jayson told you."

JH: Saeko-unnie did.

"Huh. That's not new since Saeko loves to meddle with my life -_-" Jihyo just laughed lightly and leaned her head on my shoulder again when Saeko walked in.

"Well speak of the devil. We were just talking about you."

"About what? About how beautiful I am? Hahaha!" Saeko confidently said and laughed.

I faked a gag on the side and I saw Saeko shooting glares at me and I just laughed.

"Locked hands, eh? So... is GodJihyo your girlfriend now?" Saeko smirked and asked out of nowhere.
