Alone (Michaeng)

Chapter 12: Controversy

Chaeyoung's POV

I just can't take it anymore. I had to count until 100 just to calm myself down, and then leaned to the wall that's right beside the door of the room.

I can't accept the fact that my only close friend (aside from Dahyun) is now experiencing memory loss and can't even remember my cute face nor my name anymore. Not to tell she just got back from her 'fight' with Tzuyu. 'How can this day get any worse? You know what I mean right?' I asked myself as I'm overly frustrated.

I didn't take off my eyes to the ceiling of the hall, as if it's already attached to it, just until Jeongyeon came back from the restroom. She tapped my elbow lightly and I just ignored it. After that she immediately smacked the same part of the elbow but this time harder, of course.

"Yahh. If you're only here to blame yourself, just go and take a rest." She uttered.

I took her advice and carried home Mina's bag with me. I walked down the same streets where she got bumped into but the night was darker than usual. I didn't mind myself thinking about it and just head straight to out dorm.

I looked at the other bed and now my loneliness is attacking me. Damn. It's so quiet here like hell. I have no one to talk to. It was practically dawn and good thing it's a weekend tomorrow so I could just take a rest. Before that I decided to chat Sana first to talk about what happened to Mina.

Uhm... Sana. I started a conversation with her, but I know it's has low possibility of her replying since she's not even online. Few seconds passed then my phone vibrated.

Wae?  She replied.

Something happened to Mina. I breathe deeply as I was about to say something terrible that I couldn't even accept.

I dont wanna know. Still in a bad mood from Tzuyu. She then offlined once she replied.

She got into a car (truck) accident. Even though I still said it to her.

Only 3 seconds passed and the next thing she did is to call me in a hurry. I explained to her carefully the story that happened earlier this day... AGAIN. for the 4th time?... I almost memorized the things that I told them because I repeated it this day again and again so... here I am slowly saying the same statements.

She told me that she's going to visit her since she wanted to apologize to her personally on behalf of Tzuyu's mistake and I insisted her not to bring the 'trouble maker' cause she's just going to make it worse. I didn't even tell Jeongyeon about it since she's not going to let Sana in.

Jeongyeon's POV

Chaeyoung left us here when she said 'goodbye' to Mina, leaving us both here. Silence occupied the room since none of us here uttered a single word. The longest 5 minutes of my life passed (except when I'm planking) and then she started the conversation.

"So uhm... how did we become you know? and by the way... I don't believe in you yet." She crossed her arms as she waited for me to answer.

"Because you were into me and I were too." I lied. Hopefully my expression is saying that it is for real.

"I knew that I rejected you one time. How can that even happen?" She asked again. She somehow flipped a switch in me so I kind of raged somehow.

"You know what, if you don't believe me then I'll just prove it you when you're discharged." I said in a serious tone to make in intimate.

"Yes honey." She teased me as she licked her lip. 'Are you really into me or what?' I asked myself as I heard my heart race a bit.

We continued to talk everything that I know of course but one thing doesn't seem to have change in her. She kept on asking me questions about you know who already, her cub. 'Geesh should I just tell her the truth? I ship them more rather than me and her, you know that kind of feeling...' I asked myself again as if I have another mind of its own.
