Dirty Little Secret

"Here have some water." Vernon hands her a water bottle. They are now seated in Vernon's car with Mina on the passanger seat.

Mina sniffles, her crying finally dying down, as she taked the bottle and gulps on it.

"Did I do something wrong?" Vernon starts.

Mina feels a rush of emotions run through her body and she starts crying once more. "I-I'm sorry..."

"Babe, you didn't do anything wrong. Please don't apologize." He fixes Mina's hair.

"I-I love you. I'm so sorry!" The dark-haired girl continues to sob.

Vernon stares at her and realizes it was Mina who did something wrong. He gathers all his courage to ask. "Did...did you do somthing?"

Mina cries a little more before choking at the last thing any boyfriend would want to hear.

"I cheated on you."

And there it was, the most horrible word vomit.

Mina's tears roll down her cheeks and Vernon looks at her speechless.

"I'm sorry..."

"With who?" Vernon asks softly, almost inaudible but silence in his car makes hos whisper louf enough for his girlfriend to hear.

Mina sobs even more and shakes her head. She can't say who. She just can't.

"Tell me, Mina!" Vernon slams his fists on the steering wheel.

Mina almost jumps at the shout. It was the first time Mina had seen him like this. Frightened by her boyfriend's anger, she responds with a cracked voice. "J-Jeongyeon."

Vernon scoffs in disbelief, running a hand through his hair. His whole aura has turned from concerned to infuriated. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Jeongyeon? Yoo Jeongyeon?"

Mina lightly nods with her head down.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Vernon shakily takes a cigarette stick from his jacket pocket and inserts it in the side of his lips. "Get out of the car." He says, trying to stay calm and grabbing the lighter on the dashboard.

Mina doesn't budge but only continues to cry.

"GET OUT OF MY FUCKING CAR, MINA!" Mina jolts at the voice as her boyfriend pionts to the car door, directing for her to leave.

Mina fets out of Vernon's car in tears. She watches it zoom away, leaving her all alone outside the nightclub.

The nightclub's entrace door opens. Mina turna to see it was Jeongyeon and that familiar girl she danced with just a while ago.

When Jeongyeon sees the dark-haired girl, Mina crossed her arms and lowers her head, trying to hide her tears and red nose underneath her messy hair.

Mina swore Jeongyeon looked almost concerned at her. But who was she kidding? Jeongyeon didn't really care about anyone else but herself. She was the same old egotistical jock all the girls fell head over heels for, Mins thinks.

"Myoui Mina? Is that you?" It was the girl Jeongyeon was with.

Mina turns a bit and bows but quickly turns away.

"It's me Nayeon. We take the same calculus class- Hey, are you okay?" Mina hears and realizes that it was in fact Nayeon who Jeongyeon with the entire night. Mina despises herself because until now, jealousy still took over her.

Mina waves a hand. "Yeah, no! I'm fine. Nice to see you, Nayeon. I'm just needing some alone time is all."

"Oh, alright. See you in class." Nayeon responds politely and slowly backs away.

Mina watches the two about to leave, her messy hair still covering half her face. The blonde-haired girl's eyes and hers meet one last time and she hears Jeongyeon say. "See you around, Mina." Before walking away with an arm around Nayeon.

Mina runs a hand through her hair and walks the opposite direction.

Mina can only wish Jeongyeon would not tell anyone about their dirty little secret.
