Sincerely Despising You (MiChaeng)

04: "Good night"

Mina's POV

Well? The little beast I am carrying now behind my back.. fell asleep! This is making me mad. You guys wanna know why? I told her to hold the umbrella and how can she hold it when she's sleeping like this?! Now, I'm completely soaked in the rain just like her. 

"Shitty brat!!" I cursed under my breath.

Finally, after a couple minutes of struggling towards the infirmary (because they told me to take her there) I reached my destination. I turned the doorknob and got welcomed by their puzzled looks. "What the— Why are you guys soaked?!" asked by the worried Jihyo.

"Before you ask, could you just please lend me a goddamn towel?" 

Sana immediately stood up and asked the School Nurse for 2 towels, which was given to her despite of her horrible communicating skills with strangers here. She gave the towel to me after I settled down the wet Chaeyoung on the single seater sofa since the long sofa was occupied by the sleeping Dahyun and Tzuyu. 

Gosh, how could she still be sleeping? 

I threw the towel, directly on her face and I'm glad that it was enough to make her eyes flutter open, she is startled. It seems like she was really in a deep sleep. Her eyes were working on focusing, trying to make sense of the visual stimulus changing from blank (eyes closed) to busy (eyes open). 

"Where am I?" 

Nayeon took a step closer and hugged Chaeyoung. It was very unexpected. I mean, I did not expected that as well because as far as I know, Nayeon is afraid of Chaeyoung. Maybe not anymore? "Thank you for taking care of Jeongyeon out there on the field." she thanked her and gradually pulled away from the hug. 

"I owe you a lot, Chaeyoung!" Jeongyeon beamed at her.

Next, Jihyo was the one who took a step closer and she patted Chaeyoung's head. "Aigoo~ Nice job our little beast!"

"That's right!" Sana and Momo said in unison whilst cuddling with the two sleeping maknaes.

Praises were heard from everywhere. 

Should I thank her too? Geez, I don't think that's necessary right? She already caused so much trouble for me this day. I'm so exhausted.

I turned my back from them, making an attempt to lay down on the bed next to Jeongyeon. Maybe I should just rest too—

"Cha-Chaeyoung? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" —Nayeon

Huh?

I spun around yet again and saw Chaeyoung, tears were streaming down on her face. It's as if they were uncontrollably flowing down. She covered her face with her hands and shook hear head simultaneously, "I don't know... " her voice cracked as she wipes her tears away like a 7-year old kid.

I am speechless. She's been crying a lot the whole day. It's weird to see her like that. I feel pain when she's in pain. Why though? am I getting attached to her already? That's a no, right? I mean, she's my enemy. Her pain should be my happiness but I feel pain instead.

"Chaeyoung.. looks tough on the outside but in reality, she's a softie on the inside, isn't she?" Jeongyeon mumbled. It was enough for me to hear and I guess her question was directed to me.

"Don't ask. I am not even close with her." 

She raised her eyebrows, up and down as if she's mocking me. "Really now? As far as I know, you've been with her a lot these past few days." she said as she adjusted her body on the bed. "Do you really hate her?"
