PRESENT (XXVIII)

No One POV

Days have passed, Jeongyeon's still waiting for Mina's answer. And Mina, she's confused because she doesn't want to hurt Jeongyeon. Mina then asked Chaeyoung for a lunch, luckily, the younger agreed. And now they're here, walking their way to the campus's cafeteria.

"Are you cold?" Chaeyoung asked, she noticed that the older doesn't look comfortable.

"You can have my coat" Chaeyoung added.

"I-it's fine." Mina replied.

The two sat at the unoccupied table and began to eat their lunches.

"So how's life, Mina? It's been a while." Chaeyoung asked.

"It's fine. I'm— a little confused." Mina answered.

"I saw you and Dahyun together often..." Mina added.

"Oh, yeah. Dahyun was my partner for our report so we need to talk about it." Chaeyoung replied.

"Oh— I see." Mina said.

"You know, Jeongyeon was very happy these days." Chaeyoung said.

"Why though?" Mina replied, hoping that she wasn't the reason why.

"She told me that she already confessed to her crush and asked her out." Chaeyoung said.

"Oh, is that so? did she drop any names?" Mina asked.

"Nope." Chaeyoung replied.

"So what are you confused for?" Chaeyoung asked.

"Someone's asking me out..."

"And I don't know what to do..."

"It's easy." Chaeyoung replied.

"Easy?" Mina said.

"If you like person too, then go for it—" Chaeyoung was trying to say but Mina cut her off.

"What if I don't like the person?" Mina said.

"— then reject them, in a good way of course." Chaeyoung replied.

The two finished eating then went to the fields again, they sat on the elevated chairs, admiring the nice and peaceful view.

"Mina..." Chaeyoung suddenly said.

"Yes, Chaeyoungie?" Mina replied.

"Is... Jeongyeon-unnie the one who is courting you?" Chaeyoung asked, making the older froze.

"... yes, she is, Chaeyoung-ah." Mina replied.

"You know, Jeongyeon unnie likes you a lot. Even I, myself notices that." Chaeyoung said.

"She does..." Mina replied then bowed her head.

"I know that she can protect you... and love you as well." Chaeyoung said.

"So she's the best for you." Chaeyoung said as she faced the older then flashed a smile.

"But Chaeyoung-ah... I don't like her..." Mina replied.

"Why?" Chaeyoung asked.

"Because I already like someone." Mina answered.

"Wahh Mina~ who is that lucky person?" Chaeyoung asked with her eyebrows raised.

"You." Mina said, facing the younger.

"Aww don't make me blush" Chaeyoung replied as she covered her face.

"No, I'm serious, Chaeyoung-ah." Mina said then took the younger's hand and held it.

"I like you, Chaeyoung-ah." Mina added, making the younger to blush even harder.

"H-how?" Chaeyoung said, she's stuttering so hard.

"Don't ask how. Ask me when." Mina replied.

". . ."

"Now, answer me..."

". . ."

"Do you like me too?"
