Dahyun's POV

I grinned as Tzuyu caught the baseball.

"Damn, Tzu. You're getting better and better" I said and approached her for a high five, which she did


Another practice for the baseball team. And heck, we're very tired and sweaty here, and the sun isn't helping either

We sat on the ground, watching Jeongyeon-unnie instructing the other players

I heard Tzuyu sighed, as she spotted Nayeon-unnie on the bleacher, watching Jeongyeon-unnie tho it's very hot here, so supportive

"I don't want to intrude but, are you and Sana-unnie good?" Tzuyu suddenly asked as I looked at her, she is already staring at me, eyes squinting because of the sun's heat.


I sighed and smiled at her

"We are. Why'd you ask?" I asked tho I was a little nervous on why she is suddenly asking such things as if the squad knows something is off since last week


"Nothing. Was just weirded out a little" Tzuyu spoke, back at watching Jeongyeon-unnie


"Weirded out? How?" I asked full of curiosity. Did they notice?


"I mean, it's not like I'm watching you guys, that would be a creep" We both chuckled,


"I noticed that you two are getting close, knowing you, you don't easily let people into your life," Tzuyu said in a matter of fact. We were childhood friends, she knows me well.


"But lately, you two have been distant to each other, and I've never seen you two talking at all. I'm sorry, Am I intruding much?" Tzuyu asked in concern, but I just smiled at her, showing that it was fine at all


"It's just...we need to set boundaries and walls to...you know...to make sure that we won't break things, but we're fine, we're good, I guess" I struggled on saying it directly. I can't let them know, at least not now


Tzuyu furrowed her eyebrows but didn't question it at all

"I just want you to know that we're here, I'm here to hear your thoughts" Tzuyu spoke and smiled at me, it did make me smile. She never let anyone down.


"So how about you and Jihyo-unnie?" I asked, smirking at her


Her eyebrows raised in confusion, tho I could feel her being nervous

I rolled my eyes

"You know, any process?" I bobbed my eyebrows at her, she shook her head


"No process," She said in disappointment, I huffed, also disappointed


"Dude. How long are we friends again? Almost 6 years? And no process? Are you fucking kidding me, Tzuyu?" I asked in disbelief. She frowned at me


"I have reasons. We both have no idea if she's into girls or not" Tzuyu frowned, it made me snort. Jesus. these two.


"You're disappointing me, Tzu. How come you still think that Jihyo-unnie's straight? She just rejected a lot of guys way back then, she even rejected Jae, who, by the way, is a captain ball" I shook my head in disappointment




These two is making me go crazy

She frowned more. Confused and Frustrated

"She's also crushing at Senior Bae Ire---" Tzuyu cut me off


"Enough! Don't you dare mention her" Tzuyu pouted, maybe remembering how Jihyo-unnie always talks about Irene-unnie before




I raised my hands in surrender

"If you'll still stay as what you are before, you might regret it. You should not let the chance slip away from your hand. Give it a try" I said and tapped her shoulder before getting up


I was about to walk to the bench to get my water when Tzuyu suddenly spoke

"That would also apply to you." She spoke in concern
I just exhaled heavily.


"I have no time for that," I said before walking away

Mina's POV

I flinched when my father aggressively slumped the pictures above his desk in his office

He was mad, but he was trying to compose his expression, I looked down at the pictures

My tears were starting to build up and fall, my fingers were fidgeting. I'm very scared, not because my father was mad at me, but because after this, I know a lot will change, a lot of things will be needed to let go

"You are my only daughter, Mina! And seeing these pictures is such a disgrace to me and our family!" My father shouted in anger, and my tears successfully fell




"But I----" he cut me off


"You better do something about this! Stop disappointing me, Mina!" Those were the last words my father said before leaving me alone inside his office. The door banged, implying my father's resentment.


And that's when I started to cry harder, I covered my mouth with my hands, trying to hold back my sobs.


Everything hurts. I don't know what to do. I don't want this life anymore.

I took the pictures. The pictures of Chaeyoung and me together.

I failed to hold my sob seeing Chaeyoung and me in the picture, smiling at each other

I'm so sorry, Chaeyoung...


I'm very sorry..

---

I aggressively knocked at the door, my other hand was gripping the pictures

My eyes were puffy, and my anger's still there
The door opened, welcomed by the person I was expecting

"Mina--- I threw the picture at his chest


"How dare you, Bambam!? How dare you?!" I punched his chest, my tears started to fall again


He tried to hold my wrist but I keep on shoving him away

"How could you do this to me?! How dare you ruin my life?! Why did you fucking did it?!" I threw a lot of punches that he endured, shouting at him for my dear life


"I...I'm sorry...I needed to. It was for you--- I glared at him, pushing him away


"It was for me?! You're a fucking joke! You did that for yourself!" I gritted my teeth. He looked down, feeling guilty


"She's the only happiness I could fucking have, Bambam! Why did you need to ruin this?! Isn't that enough for you, huh?! " I keep on sobbing, he tried to approach me but I stopped him


"It wasn't just for you and me, Mina. It's also for her. And you know that" He tried to calm down, I shook my head. I can't take this anymore


"You need to break things up with her. She needs to know that we're getting married" He tried to approach again but I stepped back. Shaking my head


"That will never happen, Bambam. I will never let that happen" The last words I said before leaving.


It was hard to breathe

It was hard to swallow the truth

It was hard to avoid the truth

But I need to face it,

but I would never let it take over me


Never
