[Chaeyoung's POV]
"Ottoke? Ottoke? Ottoke?" My mind is starting to hurt from overthinking.
"Stop that. Repeating ottoke over and over again wouldn't solve anything."
Jeongyeon unnie scolded me.
After figuring out that it wasn't just her who took pictures of us, I pulled Jeongyeon out of the rehearsal studio and dragged her to the room beside it.
"You pacing back and forth isn't helping either." I commented. She took one last step and stood up straight. She faced me with her arms crossed and her eyebrow raised.
"We should tell PD-nim." Unnie sighed.
"What?" my eyes widened.
"We should tell JYP-nim."
"ANDWE!!! (No way)" I felt my heart drop to my feet.
"How about manager-nim."
"Andwe. Andwe. Andwe. Hajima, unnie." I pleaded. No, we can't. No one in the management should know.
"Leader-nim?" Jeongyeon is waiting for my answer.
I didn't respond but I'm considering if I should. Would Jihyo be able to help us without anyone in the management knowing?
"Look, Chaeyoung-a. We don't know who took those pictures. This is a serious matter. Either it's a saesang or a reporter, if we don't do something now, things might get out of hand. We can't ignore this."
I put both my hands over my head. "I know, I know."
"We're leaving for our tour tomorrow."
"Yes. I know, unnie. And that's why I don't think it's a good idea to bring this matter to the management now. If the members find out about this, it might distract them."
"I'm already distracted, so what if they get distracted, too?"
"Mina." I finally blurted out. "I can't let her find out about this. Not now."
Because if she finds out, it's all over.
I know I'm being selfish, but if we stop now, it will be over and I'll never get the chance ever again.
Vivid images of Mina's face flashed inside my head. All of it, she's smiling back at me.
I already pictured in my head all the worst case scenarios that's going to come after all this. The articles that might spring out of it. But I'm not scared of any of those. There's only one thing I'm scared of. Losing her smile. Losing it sooner than I'm supposed to.
"I already know this is not going to work." With a heavy heart, I finally said it. I've been in denial for the longest time, but I think it's time to face the reality. "I know there's no possibility of Mina and I ending up together in the end. Even if this thing didn't happen. Even if..."
Even if our trial period runs out. Things will go back to the way they are. Maybe it won't be exactly the same but I know that eventually, she'll move on. Eventually she'll no longer smile in my direction. At least not the way she does now. No. Eventually, she'll be saving that smile for someone else.
I tried my best to hold back my tears. "I've been delusional, but this is my only chance, unnie. 7th day. We're only in our seventh day. Please let me finish what I started."
Jeongyeon looked straight at me with a hurt expression in her face.
"This might lead to serious repercussions, Chaeyoung-a." she whispered.
