Evening // MiChaeng

Made A Move

Mina leaned forward. Her eyes burned through my soul. I could see that her eyes held care for what she was looking at. Me. Her gaze became etched into my mind. Her eyes became a sight that I never want to forget. Beautiful.

I leaned into her as well. I felt her warm breath against my face. It caressed my cheeks, nose, and lips. My heart raced even faster than it did before now. Minari...what are you doing to me?

  Her eyes flickered between my eyes and my lips. She seemed to be figuring out what to do. This only made me anticipate her next move more. I unintentionally looked at her eyes and then her lips as well. It was almost automatic. I tried looking at her eyes alone but I couldn't. She has me hooked now. I'm absolutely whipped for her.

Closer...

Closer....

Closer.....

Contact...

  Her soft lips touched mine. My being felt as though it was floating. Butterflies found a new home in my stomach. At first I was shocked by the warm feeling on my lips but eventually my eyes flickered shut. I didn't have to see to realize how full of passion the kiss was. How it went deeper than two people connecting via their lips. It went to our hearts. I just felt it. She did too.

  I took control now, deepening the kiss. Not just connecting our hearts together but our souls too. She seemed taken aback at first as she was no longer in control but she grew accustomed to the new rhythm. My arms snaked around her waist, pulling her closer to me. Mina removed the hand that was on my waist and draped it on my shoulder along with the one that was already there. And we just stayed there, connected at one.

Even though it pained me to do so, I had to pull away for air. Mina rested her forehead on mine. She smiled at me a little bit. Her hand went from my shoulder to my chin. Her thumb extended and rested on my bottom lip. It went from side to side in a comforting manner. Her smile grew as I became more and more confused as to what she was doing.

"Strawberries have never tasted sweeter," Mina whispered in reference to the strawberry lip balm that I had on. She removed her thumb from my mouth and put it back on my shoulder.

I tried responding to what she said but words wouldn't come out of my quivering mouth. She opened her mouth again,"So... do you still want to go to your friends?"

I couldn't help but giggle. I gave her a little peck on the lips which took her aback. When I pulled away I quickly asked,"Does that answer your question?"

Mina giggled at my snarky remark. She pulled away. Both of our arms fell back down to our sides. I reached for both of her hands. She willingly gave me both of them and I took her hands in mine. We just stood in comfortable silence looking at each other. Her eyes glistened more than usual after our *coughs in homosexual* moment. Her lips were now a tie-dye mash of her normal pink hue and my more red lip color. I wonder if she tastes like strawberries now..?

A hand grabbed hold of my shoulder. I dropped one of Mina's hands as I quickly turned around. I was met with Jihyo's large eyes looking straight at me. She looked passed me to my hand which was accompanied by Mina's. Then, her gaze traveled up to Mina's eyes which held a similar shock that was found in mine.

"Hi there, Mina! Would you mind if I borrowed Chae for a quick second?" Jihyo said with a smile.

"Oh, yeah, of course," Mina smiled back at Jihyo. She gave my hand a little squeeze before letting go, leaving my hand cold and empty.

Jihyo put her hand on my back and led me out of the crowded party space. We went upstairs to the room which all of my friends and I talked in before. She opened up the door. Inside was my friend group conversing with each other. When they saw Jihyo and I they stopped in their tracks and stood up from where they sat. The door closed shut and questions started flowing.

"What happened?" Jeongyeon questioned me.

"Did you hit it off with Mina?" Nayeon flashed me a massive bunny smile.

"So are you guys dating yet or whatever?" Tzuyu bluntly asked.

"Come on! Answer us, Chaeyoung!" Dahyun squeaked.

I just stood there unsure what to say. My face heated up from all of the sudden personal questions. I finally started to answer,"We- um... yeah... we hit it off."

The girls all gave me expectant looks. They were begging for more information without actually saying anything.

I let out a sigh,"Alright. We held hands," I heard oohs and squeals from them,"And we may have kissed..." I braced myself for the incoming wave of high pitched squeaks that were sure to come my way.

"KISSED? NO WAY!!" Dahyun started them off.

"Dang, Chae, you're smooth," Tzuyu complemented.

Nayeon and Jeongyeon both started teasing me by singing,"Chaeyoung has a girlfriend," over and over.

  I scoffed at the two oldest girls,"First off it's not like that. Secondly you two should be the last people to tease me like that. I know all about what the two of you think of each other."

  They both were quick to shut up. They met each other's gaze. In perfect sync, the two girl's faces became more red than a cherry. Their eyes were opened wide too. Nayeon even had her mouth slightly agape, showing off her bunny-like teeth. Jeongyeon looked away first and Nayeon followed. They acted as though nothing happened, yet the color of their skin wouldn't go back to normal.

  Jihyo cleared her throat to get all of our attention,"I guess our plan worked well-"

  "Plan?" I was quick to cut her off. Sadly I didn't get an answer.

  "Now it's all up to Chaeng to make more moves. Ask her out on a date or something. At least ask for her number, Insta, or Snap. Now get back to your girl, Love Bird!" Jihyo said to me. At the end she gained giggles from the other girls.

  I nodded in response. She opened up the door for me and I went out. As soon as I was out of the room, the door closed behind me. From within the room I heard tons of joyful giggles and high pitched yells. I had no clue that Mina and I meant so much to them...

  Now all I have to do is make a move? I gotta be the one to initiate things now... Oh god this sounds rough.
