MINE

CHAPTER 8

I couldn't sleep. Fuck, the news hit me hard like I've been hit by a train. Why didn't they tell me earlier? Divorced? Other families? For how long? Do they even love me as much as they love my 'stepbrothers or sisters'? I don't want a fricking stepbrother or a stepsister. I don't need them anyway.

Chaeng is outside, sleeping on the couch. Why did she even give me her room to stay in? She could've slept here with me. At least it would be more comfortable. I think she's still awake. Should I go outside and sleep with her? Wouldn't that be creepy? No, it's not creepy. I just want to sleep with someone comfortable.

I went outside. I could vaguely make out Chaeng in the dark. I walked to the couch and sat at the side.

Chaeyoung: Mina? You can't sleep?

I shook my head. She moved so I could have some space to lay down. She draped her arm on my waist. Frick, this is much more comfortable than a bed. I felt her breath on my neck. Fuck, this is amazing. Am I getting turned on? I turned around. Being this close to Chaeyoung makes me have butterflies in my stomach. I bit my lip.

Chaeyoung: Mina, I uh. You know, I like you. A-As a friend. I just uh, I've never had this type of feelings for anyone, I just...

She stopped.

Chaeyoung: Forget about it. Let's go back to sleep.

Why does this girl like to tease me like that?

I woke up, gasping. The fuck? What was I dreaming about? I looked around. Thank god, my parents aren't here. If they were, I would've punched them.

Chaeyoung: You okay there, Minari? You kept mumbling something about a girl. Who is she?

Was I motherfucking dreaming about Chaeyoung?!?!?

Mina: Y-Yeah. I-It's nothing. My dreams are super weird so I j-just, yo-you know.

Chaeyoung stared at me for a while. God, please don't be suspicious of me. I just had a dream about you that's all. Nothing strange.

Chaeyoung: You sure? I mean the name of the girl sounds quite familiar. And you kept... making noise.

She turned red. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK. I WAS MOANING IN MY SLEEP?

Chaeyoung: Hey, i-it's not, fuck this is embarrassing. I just got worried. I thought you got hurt or something.

She was about to say something else but held it back. She stood there and looked at me. Am I supposed to go to her? I walked to her. Chaeyoung tensed up. Is she okay? Am I that stupid to not know how she feels about me?

Chaeyoung: I-I have to go. I'll buy you something to eat, j-just uh wait here. You can wear my clothes after your shower, I don't mind.

1 NEW MESSAGE FROM MIMOSA.

Mochine: Hey, Minari. Where did you go? your aunt said your away.

Sanake: Yeah, ur nightmare parents are here too.

Minaguin: I'm at Chaeng's house, I didn't want to see my fucking parents so I ran to her house.

Sanake: I guess that's a good thing. Chaeng will take care of you. Very good care of you. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Fuck off, Sana. Though you're not wrong. Does Chaeng have a girlfriend? I mean, a pretty girl like her has to have a girlfriend. Why am I thinking about this? Do I want to be her girlfriend? Maybe she's straight. Does she like like me? Fuck it, let me stop thinking about this and just shower.
