10 일만 내놔 : Give me 10 days (MICHAENG)

CHAPTER 5

[Mina's POV]

Strawberry. Of course, her lips would taste like strawberry.

She pulled away and looked at me and gently touched my lower lip. She bit her lip and smiled, her dimple showed itself again.

My ears were suddenly hot and I felt my heart skip a beat. Ottoke. I looked away.

"Wae?"

"Do you remember when you were in your short hair phase?"

She nodded.

"There's this vlive you had where you were wearing that dark green sweater and glasses," I found myself smiling for just visualizing it, "that part were you brushed your hair with your hand and looked at the camera. I think I was watching that broadcast in my bed. Waa. Jinjja, I found you really attractive and it made me feel conflicted." I had a mental picture of her and it made me blush a little remembering it. "I even saw memes where people have been calling you oppa Chaeyoung," I giggled.

"Yeah. I actually miss my short hair," she laughed, "except at times when it's being styled and it would look like a mushroom."

I also laughed.

"Should I cut my hair again and start calling you noona instead?" she wiggled her eyebrows playfully.

"Hajima! (Don't!)" I shook my head, "you're even more attractive now with that hair. You make oppas, unnies and dongsaengs swoon more than when you were in that short hair."

"Did I make you swoon, unnie?" she's being extra playful.

"A little." I said as I leaned my head against her shoulder.

This feels nice. In this moment, the sands of time stopped trickling. Nothing else matters or exists. It's just the two of us in this magical bubble we have created.

"What do we do now, Chaeyoungie?" I asked. She reached for my hand and held it tightly and sighed.

Before she could answer, there was a knock on the door.

The door slightly opened and Momo's head popped up.

"I really don't want to disturb you. Mianhe. (Sorry)" She paused and looked at me, "Mitang, you have a visitor."

"Who is it?" Momo looked at Chaeyoung. She didn't answer my question.

Chaeyoung nudged me to get up.

I reached out my hand to pull her up, but she refused it.

"I'll just fix our stuff a little bit. Jeongyeon unnie will get mad if we leave a mess. Go. I'll follow when I'm done." She smiled weakly.

I nodded, "Arraseo. (Alright) I won't take long. I'll be back in... five minutes."

"It's okay. Take your time."

THERE he is, sitting in our couch, chatting with Nayeon unnie. He stood up as soon as he saw me.

"Annyeong (Hello), Minari." He smiled brightly.

He stood up and bowed as I walked closer.

I bowed and smiled half-heartedly, "Why are you here?"

He was taken aback with my question, "Well... you messaged my yesterday that you weren't feeling well. I haven't heard from you since so I got worried."

"You could've just texted." I scratched my arm.

"I left like 10 messages." He sighed

"Or called."
