oh, darling of mine | michaeng

Follow

Note: I made use of the song"I Follow Rivers," by Lykke Li, below.

Mina's POV

Imagine learning about a person through a kiss.

"At least I know how to float now" I said when we came out of the water.

She didn't have to say anything. She looked tremendously satisfied with her previous action. 

"The moon is gonna be jealous tonight" Everyone is jealous of us.

"Why?"

"The sun has also witnessed our bodies" 

Our eyes connected to reflect the water beneath us, which caressed the dapples of our differences to bring out the shine of our commonness. I stifle a giggle while thinking about it. 

This moment is ours.

Out of nowhere, Chaeyoung started throwing water at me. Her movements followed the rhythm of nature's melody, clean and pure. She looked dazzling dancing under the drops of water that sparkled as she playfully continued her "performance." I joined her.

Oh, you're my ocean, where I unravel

Oh, you're my only, the water where I'm wading

Oh, you're my river, deep and wild

Yes, I follow, I follow you

Yes, I'm home, you're my home

We got near each other, as two magnets that can't be separated by the amount of force each one possess to attract one another. 

She lifted her left hand to trace her fingers through my body. Her index finger touched the mole on my forehead and went down to the mole on my nose and so it continued its traveled throughout my body, connecting all the moles to create an abstract figure of different patterns, which, according to her, explained the mystery of our love.

In an attempt to reciprocate her affection, my eyes landed on her birthmark. I brought my lips towards it to give it a soft kiss, the kind of kiss that emits a sense of protection. I also got you, Chaeyoung.

I then traced my finger from her birthmark down to her hand, in a circular motion, to reach her pinky finger where I faked a small knot and continued it through mine to also make a knot and then connect it to my birthmark.

Chaeng was mesmerized.

We were appreciating each other's existence through physical contact. We seem to do that a lot lately.

We came out of the water and rested our bodies on the green grass. We turned our bodies to stare at each other, then she began to talk.

"You are beautiful" Oh, to hear her compliment me. What a dream.

"So are you"

"I know" I chuckled.

"What? You've never met a confident person before?" That's definitely not me.

"Sana and Momo are the most confident people I know. You just stole their spot"

"Can't help it but to be number one in everything, even in your life" These kind of sentences make my heart race in an extreme rapid pace. She gets all the girls.

"So tell me about these friends of yours" Should I? She won't be satisfied with a sloppy answer.

"Well, I met these two wonderful people at the same time, since they were friends first. I didn't know, but Sana and I went to the same middle school, however, because we weren't in the same class ..." 

"Let me guess, you were too shy to make friends so you sat by yourself somewhere all alone" She interrupted me. SHE FREAKING INTERRUPTED ME.

"How dare you interrupt me when I'm talking" I got so worked up. Isn't she supposed to be polite?

"I just like your angry face" Oh.

"I can't even control myself anymore. You get me all worked up by a simple action and then calm me down with a short sentence. Wow" Her magical presence has me gone nuts.

"Please, continue your story, my lady" Too much.

"As I was saying, we didn't meet each other until my family and I attended to an absurd conference. A place where only the Japanese Elite could attend. There is where I found Sana and Momo. I really dislike going to those meetings, they are always talking about idiotic and bizarre topics. I noticed that the two girls didn't seem comfortable being there, especially Momo. Although she had a poker face, she wasn't vibing to the frequency of the place. It was after one of the leaders finished the introduction that Sana came to where I was sitting and whispered to my right ear, "come with us." It was really sketchy of her, but I didn't want to stay there any second longer so I followed her. She took me to the rooftop of the place, the view was honestly one of the best I've witnessed. There was a pool surrounded by luxurious chairs, there was also a bar and some umbrellas to decorate the rest of the place. Momo was holding a cigar and a cup of red wine on the same hand, her eyes were lost. We spent the night there talking about our lives and our families, we clicked. After that meeting, we kept on touch and went out once in a while to play volleyball or do something adventurous. Sana is the light of the party, Momo is the dangerous rebel, and I am ... um ... "

"You're the stunning princess"

"Sweet" I went closer to her and rubbed my nose to hers. She gave me a long smile with her lips shut. "Nowadays, we are best friends. Although Momo is still a bit reserved, we trust and love each other very much. Too much, sometimes"

"Momo seems like a mysterious and odd person" Look who's talking.

"I know someone like that" Haha. I hope she gets my hint.

"Not me, of course" Silly.

"Now that I think about it, you guys resemble each other. No, wait! It's more like one of you learnt from the other one. Isn't that weird?" This just gave me the creeps, it is actually very strange.

"Don't compare me to anyone" Aww she's pouting.

"What a baby"

"Your baby" She winked and stole a kiss from my lips.

She's the only piece of my puzzle.
