Serendipity

Chapter 27

MYOUI MINA

Lunch time came and I was walking upstairs towards the rooftop of the dance department, I saw a figure that resembled someone I've been dying to see.

Is that...?

"CHAENG!!!" I shouted.

"Minari~" he said, walking towards me and giving me a hug.

I hug him back, missing his voice, his scent, his warmth, his presence...

Wait... I'm acting like a weirdo right now...

He hugged me a little longer than usual but I didn't pull away. I was savoring it because I don't know if he'll disappear again and come back longer.

"Please don't disappear on me again. I'm begging you." I said, tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Minari..." he started, putting his chin on my head.

"I can't promise you that." he added, making me sadder than I already am.

"But, when I do disappear... I guess I can try to tell you if I'm sure you won't disappear on me if I do." he finished, making me look at him.

"Why would I disappear on you?" I asked.

He looked at me and noticed my tears and started to wipe them gently as if his touch will harm my skin if he wasn't.

"You might react differently and also... Why are you crying?" he asked.

Why are you so dense?

"Minari, don't cry. I hate seeing you cry. Please baby Pengu." he said, making me calm down a bit.

"What do you mean react differently?" I asked.

"I'm not a very good person Mina." he said, smiling.

Why are you smiling then?

"What do you mean by that?" I said as he finished wiping my tears dry.

"I mean... I'm not really what you think I am. What you girls think of us." he explained.

"I'm confused."

"I'll tell you the truth when I settle everything down. I promise." he said, extending his pinky finger.

I held mine out too and intertwined it with his, sealing our promise. After we both pulled away, I rested my head on his chest.

"You hungry? I noticed that you didn't bring any lunch with you. Let's share mine." he said, sitting the both of us down.

He handed me his sandwich and he took his strawberry milk and stabbed the straw in, making me laugh at his cuteness.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked, looking at me.

"Cuz you look cute." I answered, smiling at his blushing face.

"Thanks. And you're beautiful." he said, this time, making me blush.

"Stop..."

"Ouch! Minari doesn't like it." he gasped.

I rolled my eyes at his childish action and continued eating his sandwich and sipped in his strawberry milk.

"Oh! Before I forget, why are you here in the rooftop of the dance department?" I asked.

"Well... After my class, I went after Momo noona and asked her where you were and she said that you don't eat in the cafeteria anymore, same goes in the garden." he paused and sipped his milk.
