It's the next day and Mina abruptly wakes up by a weird dream.

MINA POV

I ended up waking in a panicked like state after having the weirdest dream last night.

But basically, I finished all my homework and just started to read before I went to bed like I always do. I guess I just fell asleep right after.

I don't usually dream anymore but all of a sudden I remember seeing a figure of a tall, skinny girl. Her back was facing me and I remember I just began to walk towards this figure. It was night and we were in a somewhat of a room. The figure was facing the bright, shinning moon in the balcony. I was slowly approaching this mysterious girl and once I was beginning to get even closer to her, she began to turn around slowly. I stopped walking and when the figure completely turned around, facing me. I woke up right away.

It was Tzuyu.

Why was I dreaming of Tzuyu?!

I wasn't even able to completely comprehend what I just dreamed of because I heard Seyun yelling from downstairs.

"Mina!! Let's go!! I'm gonna be late!!" yelled Seyun from downstairs.

I quickly took a shower and got dressed before rushing outside. I didn't even bother eating breakfast.

I opened the driver's door and saw Seyun already sitting there and holding the wheels.

I was so confused because she has never given me a ride. If she wanted to drive, she would have just ditched me

"Get in Mina! What are you waiting for?" she said

I was still confused but I just went with it and got on the shotgun seat

We were driving to the school in silent until she finally spoke up

"So, you made a friend already?"

"What do you care?" I said looking outside the window

"I don't. But I start to care when your new friend is the hottest girl in the whole school!" she replied

"You're into girls?' I asked looking at her

"Of course I am, guys too. But enough about me! How did you get one of the popular girls to invite you to their club?!"

"I didn't ask for it"

"But you were still invited. Did you seduce her?"

"Yeah, sure," I said sarcastically

"Seriously Mina, I thought you were some weird, awkward, and loner type of person that won't make any friends, but I've misjudged you"

"Are you just being nice to me to get to Chaeyoung?"

"Maybe.. look, you can't blame me. Those girls are like goddesses! Everyone either wants to be them or be with them! And I've already had my eye on Chaeyoung for the longest time so do me a favour! Get me a date with Chaeyoung and I promise I will be so nice to you and give you rides to school and back every day!" she offered

"Sounds pretty good, but you have to understand that I just met her. I can't just ask her to go on a date with my foster sister"

"Ugh! Just do it, Mina! Unless you want her for yourself?"

"Of course not! I don't fall for people easily. I've never fallen for anyone at all"

"You mean you've never liked anyone?!" she asked surprisedly

"Why would I? I was always the outcast. I never stood out to people and no one ever stood out to me" I said and right after I said that, I remembered Tzuyu. "Until now" I whispered
