Chef-d'oeuvre

"Son Chaeyoung, are you asking me out on a date?"

"Wow, you're really whipped." Tzuyu uttered when Chaeyoung told her how she fell in love with Mina. Tzuyu felt every sweetness in every word she says, and actually, it makes Tzuyu cringe a little.

Both Chaeyoung and Tzuyu didn't have classes that day, so they decided to hang out and all, since they both need to cope up with eachother. They were close since Tzuyu is her friend since senior highschool, but their friendship went lowkey since they started college, and also Tzuyu meeting Nayeon. Relevant to Dahyun's situation, Chaeyoung still understands why they had to separate a little. Also, there's nothing that she could do about it, anyway. She doesn't hold their lives, and they don't hold hers.

"So what do you plan to do?" Tzuyu asked her. Chaeyoung shrugged, saying, "I don't know... I guess I'll just continue to give her paintings." Tzuyu shook her head slowly. "So... you're not going to do something to get her? You'll just let her fall in love with the thought of someone anonymously giving her paintings and sweet quotes along with it?" Tzuyu snapped. Chaeyoung let out a sigh. "I'm trying my best here, Tzu.  I really am." Tzuyu scoffed, "Well try harder, Chae. There are a lot of people taking interest in Mina unnie." Chaeyoung nodded, reassuring Tzuyu that she'll do something. "I will."

Mina walked peacefully along the hallway, making her way to her next class.

Her peaceful walk was startled as she received a call. She looked at the caller's name and grinned before picking it up.

"Hey, Chae. What's up?"

"Hi unnie. Uh... I just wanted to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Are you... are you free after your classes?"

"Very. Why?"

"Maybe we could grab some coffee? Or sight seeing? Your choice."

"Son Chaeyoung, are you asking me out on a date?"

"What?! No... I mean, a friendly date?"

"Okay, pick me up later at campus?"

"Wait... really?"

"We do this almost everyday, Chaengie. There's nothing new."

"Oh... right. See you later, unnie."

"See you, Chae."

Chaeyoung hung up the call and Mina laughed out a smile. She was right, it wasn't new for them, but why does she feel extra giddy today?

"Mina!" A voice shouted from her back, she turned to see ther person.

Here we go again.

She turned again and walked faster, ignoring the person who just called her. "Hey, wait up!" The person ran so she can catch up to Mina.

"Mina." She grabbed her shoulder, which made Mina looked at the person. "What do you want?" She snapped. "I just want to talk to you—"

"There's nothing to talk about. Please, just leave me alone." She turned away but the person managed to stop her. "What do you mean 'there's nothing to talk about'? There's a ton of club activities we need to discuss." Mina looked at the person and shook off her hand. "What?" The person sighed and chuckled. "I'm the vice president of the music club, Ms. Myoui. Now, if you can be a nice person and talk to me about the performance on the foundation day, that would be really great." Mina looked at her from head to toe. "Are you serious? But foundation day is still three months from now. And why not talk to Momo? She's the president, after all."

"I am a hundred percent serious, Mina. And for your information, It takes a long process making a song, plus, the choreography your club's going to make. Summing that all up, three months is pretty short. Also, I've talked to Momo and she said to look for you, since you're the brain of the dance club." The vice president explained briefly. "When are we going to talk about this? I still have classes and I need to go somewhere after class." Mina crossed her arms. "I kinda need to talk about it as soon as possible. Can you cancel your appointment after class? I just really need to talk to you so I can start producing the song." Mina scoffed
"Well if you were there at the meeting yesterday we would've talked this out already." The vice president sighed. "I had some business that needed to be attended. So please bare with me and let's get this done after class." Mina rolled her eyes. She doesn't want to go through it but she knows she will be nagged about this until she said yes. "Fine. I'll go." Mina started walking again, leaving the vice president alone in the hall way.

Chaeyoung waited for Mina to go outside of the main building of the campus. She leans on the bumper on her car in the parking lot. Students were staring at her intentionally, admiring one of the campus heartthrob. Chaeyoung just ignored them and waited silently for Mina.

After  more or less fifteen minutes of waiting, Chaeyoung received a text message from Mina.

Minarii 🐧
4:04PM
: Hi Chae, this is on a short notice, but I think I can't make it today. We had an emergency meeting in our club and I couldn't say no. I'm so sorry. I'll make it up to you next time. I hope you understand :((

Chaeyoung felt a tight squeeze on her chest, her breathing suddenly thickend. She shook her head and controlled her breathing. After recovering from it, she texted Mina.

Chaengie 🐯
4:06PM
: Don't worry unnie, I understand. :) call me when you get home?

She locked her phone and closed her eyes before sighing heavily.

"Jeez, you sound so problematic. What's up?" Jiwoo suddenly popped out of nowhere. Chaeyoung looked up and saw four people in front of her. "Please, Jiwoo. I'm not in the mood." Jiwoo pouted and patted Chaeyoung's shoulder. "Wanna come with us? We'll be watching a movie for our film in foundation day." Chaeyoung nodded, not knowing why. Maybe she just wants to distract herself from Mina not meeting her today. "Great! Oh, by the way, this is Sooyoung, my girlfriend, Jinsoul, her bestfriend, and Chaewon, Jinsoul's sister." Chaeyoung smiled at them and shook hands respectively.

"I'm Chaeyoung. Nice to meet you all" The three of them nodded and smiled. After that, they went to the mall and see if there's a good movie to find a good plot for their film at the university's event.
