Save Me •Cha Eunwoo•

Chapter 20

Mina's POV

I was washing the dishes when I heard my phone's ringtone filling up the quiet space of the living room. Eunwoo is off to work so I am staying at home alone.

"Hello, who's this?" I greet in a manner tone as I see the unknown number flashing on my phone screen.

"Unnie? Is that you?" A familiar voice greets me from the other side.

I cover my mouth in disbelief as I recognize the voice. The voice that I have been missing to hear because I decide to leave home for a better job which turned out to be disaster.

"Oh my god, Minseo! Is this really you?" I half shout, holding my phone tighter because excitement starts to take control of me.

"Of course, unnie. This is me. I decided to call you because I miss you too much." She says.

"How's school?" I asks her, eager to know how life has been treating.

"That's the problem, unnie." She replies, sadly.

My heart drops to the floor, listening to her statement. My sister is in deep trouble and me as her big sister can't help her.

And I am here, living comfortably.

Whatever it is, I need to help her.

Eunwoo's POV

"I'm home!" I yell, enough to be heard throughout every room in my house just in case Mina can't hear me.

I was about to call her when I see her wandering at the living room, hugging her phone. Her face somehow looks like she's thinking about something.

"Hey, everything's fine?" I say as I place the grocery bag on the table.

"Oh, you're home. Nope, everything's good." She blurts, riddling her fingers nervously.

I know something is wrong but I am not that kind of person who likes being a busybody. If she wants to tell me then I can be a good listener but if she doesn't want to, I rather keep my words to myself. It's a choice of her own after all.

"I bought some food, do you want to eat now?" I offer her as I can tell she hasn't eat yet.

She nods in return before taking small steps to the dining table like her mind is still stuck on whatever she was thinking just now.

After a few minutes, we are already munching on our food. I was so hungry because my manager decided to hold a meeting which went on for a few hours.

She seems like she wants to start a conversation but I rather just give her a chance before cutting whatever she wishes to state for now.

"Umm, Eunwoo. Why you don't wear masks when you go out? Aren't you worried someone will recognize you?" She says, with a look of curiousity plastered on her face.

I chuckle as I shake my head lightly. This girl has no clue what it is being an idol after all.

"We wear masks not because we don't want someone to recognize us, Mina. We wear them because we don't have any makeup on plus it's a fashion." I say in an explaining tone.

Mina nods understandingly before keep on riddling her noodles. I swear there is something on her mind right now.

"Eunwoo, can you help me?" She says hesitatingly. Her pupils are subtly shaking so I can tell how nervous she is.

I hold her hand in order to calm her down and she eases a little.

"Can you lend me some money?" Mina states, at the edge of breaking down in front of me. I wonder how hard for her to say that.

"How much?" I ask with a serious tone, just want to tease her a little. I've never been serious when I'm talking to her and I am sure I am getting on her nerves now.

"Umm, two thousand dollars." Mina mumbles while her eyes glued to the floor.

"Okay. I'll give it to you tomorrow morning." I agree immediately.

The amount of money didn't worry me at all. Maybe because of my willing to give everything to her is too strong so it didn't matter at all.

"Really? You are not kidding right?" Mina asks unhesitatingly, probably because of excitement starts to flow in her body.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" I furrow my eyebrow as I cross my arms and tilt my posture a little.

"Yeayyy!" Mina screams at the top of her lungs while jumping up and down as she is that happy go lucky type.

"Okay! Stop it! Don't let me call you pabo!" I say sternly, trying to show a serious expression as I stiffle my laughter.

"What did you call me?" Mina asks back with her hands on hips, like a mother scolding her child.

"Lambo." I reply quickly before escaping from the scene.

I swear she can be a badass sometimes, but most of the time she holds the characteristics of puss in boots as she pleads. Mina has a lot of demands hiding in her heart and she decides to let them all out when she si with me.

I am broke whenever she is around.

"Hey, Mr Dongmin. What are you staring at?" Mina shouts from the kitchen as her head pops out from the back of the wall.

I shake my head, trying to shake off the thought I has just now. It's funny how I think too much whenever she is around. And of course, the filling of my thoughts are mostly about her, Kim Myun Na.

Moonbin's POV

"Binnie, what are you smiling at?" Eunwoo's voice echoes throughout the whole practice room and straight into my ears.

"Nothing." I deny without hesitation because I can't expect what will happen if I tell the truth.

It will be a good subject for my members to joke for three years.

Eunwoo smirks with a touch of devilish plastered on his face. I widen my eyes as his smirk gets wider and eviler.

Shit, I'm in trouble.

I get up as fast as lightning and run out from the practice room in order to escape. I fasten my pace as I hear Eunwoo's footsteps coming after me.

"You can't run away from me!" His voice echoes, reminding me the horror story I watched with him last night.

I laugh slightly as I end up in front of our practice room again. The laugh was meant for Eunwoo as I see him walking calmly towards me.

"Moonbin, you have nowhere to go now, I got you!" Eunwoo's mocking voice triggers my laughter as he pulls me into a hug.

"If you have anything to tell me, don't hesitate. Okay?" His soothing voice comforts me a lot, more like a sweet honey. I totally understand why our fans drool over him. He is the ideal type of guy.

How I wish I can express my feelings for the girl that I met that day to him. But I find myself to have lack of words everytime I think of her.
