You reached Mina house.

Mina exited your car and rushed in her house , you locked your car and followed behind.

Mina entered her house and grabbed a bottle of wine from her fridge. She took off the cork and chugged it.

" Hey hey !!! " You snatched the bottle away from her.

" Let me drink it... " Mina said.

" No... "

" Give it to me !!! " Mina cried.

You grabbed her in your arms. Mina leaned on your chest and cried loudly.

" Who is he ? Why did you became like this after you saw him...? " You asked.

" He's my ex... I tried so hard ... to forget him... He lied to me.. and my family... he's the reason my father company ran into a financial crisis.. " Mina sobbed while explaining. "... I trusted him.... I loved him... "

Mina hugged you tightly.

" He's not worth your tears , Mina. " You said.

" Please... let me drink... "

You sighed and gave Mina the bottle. She grabbed it and took a sip. Mina walked into the living room , with the bottle in her hand.

You plopped down next to her on the sofa and turned on the television.

After a while, the sobbing stopped. Mina fell asleep with the bottle in her arms. You carried her to her room and tucked her in.

You stood up , about to leave.

A cold hand suddenly grabbed your hand. You froze.

" Don't leave... I'm scared to be alone.. " Mina said softly.

You sat down next to her bed , still holding her hand.

" You should wash your face , your eyes might get swollen tomorrow. " You said.

" I'm lazy... " Mina said.

" Wait for me. " You stood up and grabbed a towel with a pail of water from her bathroom.

You cleaned her face with the towel. Mina start to cry again.

" Why are you crying again? " You panicked a little.

" Nothing.... It's been so long since someone took care of me... " Mina said.

" Get some sleep. " You said.

Mina closed her eyes and fell asleep.

You watched her quietly.

" I like you , Mina. " You said softly.

You remove her hand from yours but Mina grabbed it back.

" Wha- "

" I thought you never confessed. " Mina said with her eyes closed , smiling.

" YOU'RE NOT ASLEEP ?! "

Mina leaned in and kissed you.
