Eighteen: Jeju Part Two

Mina POV

I feel myself waking up but when I opened my eyes, I saw from the window that the sun hasn't even risen yet. Only the dark shade of blue in the sky could be seen.

I looked at the time on my phone. 5 AM. Why did I wake up so early?

To pair with the comfortable bed, I felt Chaeyoung's arms around me that made me feel even more comfy than the high class bed.

I already knew that I won't be able to drift back to sleep so I gently took Chaeng's arms off of me and I fixed the blanket and pillows to make it as comfortable for her as possible. I placed a pillow right beside her and I settled her arms around the pillow, since she always likes having something to hug while sleeping.

I went out of the room and opened the door to the balcony and I just calmly stood there to gather my thoughts quietly.

No matter how much I try to make my time of thinking about positive things like how I had so much fun with Chaeng yesterday, I can't help but contemplate about what's been bothering me.

It's just that no matter how much Chaeyoung and I hold hands, cuddle with each other before sleeping together, calling each other with nicknames, and all those sweet stuff, I still get jealous at the sight of Rosé and her having fun together. I still get thoughts in my head that tells me I should be scared because Rosé can take her away from me.

And maybe I get these feelings of jealousy and fear because in reality,

there is no "us".

Sure we're always sweet with each other, heck she even kissed me but... does it really mean anything?

Chaeyoung POV

I woke up a little bit and I realized that I still have my arms around Mina. She's so soft, she's literally the perfect cuddle buddy.

I tightened my embrace and by soft, this is too soft. Making me realize that... this doesn't feel like Mina. I know what hugging her feels like and this is far from that.

I forced myself to open my eyes and I saw that I've been hugging a freaking pillow!

I shot up from the bed after noticing her absence. Other than me, it's an empty bed.

The sun hasn't even risen, why is she gone already?

I ran around the house but I tried to make my footsteps as quiet as possible since everyone else is probably still sleeping. I kinda failed at that since I don't have the time to control myself when I'm in a rush.

Finally, I saw her. She's looking at the far distance from the balcony. She looks like she's pondering about something.

I decided to make coffee for the both of us. It's a good thing I know how much cream and sugar she likes in her coffee.

After I've made the coffee, I came to approach Mina.

"Penny for your thoughts?", I calmly said before handing the cup of coffee to her.

She snapped out of her deep thoughts at the shock of hearing somebody else and took a quick glance at me

"Good morning?", Mina said, sounding like she isn't fully done thinking things alone. She took her look back at the horizon.

"What's wrong?", I came closer to her. She fixed her stance to look back at me easier.

Mina POV

It's been half a minute since she asked the question and I still haven't given her an answer. I sighed at the silence.

Fuck it.
