Unexpectedly

Chapter Forty-One

Mina's POV

"Okay, we'll be there. Everything will be alright, okay? Calm down Tzuyu, and be safe. Love you." Jihyo looked at her wristwatch and ended her phone call with Tzuyu, who's already on her way to the hospital where Chaeyoung and Dahyun are rushed into.

"They're in the ER at Samhyook Medical Center right now. I'll just quickly change my clothes and we'll go. Aight? Calm down, the both of you." Jihyo caressed our cheeks with both of her hands. Momo weakly nodded unlike me, who's not responding.

Chaeyoung's scream is still ringing in my ears. The pain that she groaned out, and how she hardly catched her breath. I can't speak, my body is stiff. I don't know what to do, I feel like this is all my fault.

A hand suddenly waved in front of my face, making me snap out of my thoughts.

"Are you gonna come with us?" Momo gently placed her hand on my bicep, making me flinch. As much as I want to go, I can't.

"I can't." I whispered.

"Why?" Momo furrowed her eyebrows at me.

"This is all my fault. I don't know what to say, what to do. I can't even face Chaeyoung and Dahyun." Tears started to pour out of my eyes. I literally screwed up big time.

Momo hurriedly pulled me into a hug, comforting me. "It's not your fault, Mina."

"I might have distracted Chaeyoung while she was driving. I even got mad at her and scolded her a lot, gosh Mina you're so stupid." I reasoned out. Momo just sighed and looked into my eyes. She looks okay. How come? "You seem okay, aren't you affected? Especially that Dahyun's with Chaeyoung."

"Listen to me, Mina. I may seem okay, but I'm actually breaking on the inside. But this is what I keep telling myself right now; Dahyun needs me. I want her to know that I'm being strong for her. I want her to trust me that I'm here, and everything will be okay. You know why? Because when a person sees that somebody is fighting for them, they'd have hope to fight for themselves as well." She paused, slightly sniffling. "Chaeyoung is in a critical stage right now, so what I want you to do is to be there for her. Be strong for her. And most importantly, trust her. Chaeyoung is a strong person, Mina."

Sana butted in and gave me a back hug. "Momo's right, Minari. I've known Chaeyoung for years now, yet she had never put down a fight before." She pulled away and faced Momo. "The same goes to Dahyun, Momoring. Both of them are one of the strongest people I know."

Everything is now starting to sink in. By now, I finally calmed down. Momo and Sana are right. I have to be there for the love of my life. I'm still looking forward to being married to her, having a family, spending our future together. I want to spend lifetime with no one else but her.

I straightened up and wiped my tears. "Let's go get our girls." I weakly smiled at her, which made Momo smile at me. And just in time, Jihyo had just finished changing her clothes.

"I'll stay with Jeongyeon, you guys go ahead. We'll follow." Nayeon nodded at us and gestured her head at the door.

"Are the both of you sure? Jeongyeon, are you gonna be okay? Nayeon, will you be able to handle Jeongyeon alone?" Jihyo worriedly asked them.

"I can stay with them. The three of you, go." Sana smiled at us and went beside the couple.

"Thanks Sana." Jihyo waved.

"Please be careful. Tell the others that we'll follow there soon." Jeongyeon weakly smiled at us. Poor sick Jeongyeon.

"Will do. See you guys." Momo hugged the three of them, while the rest of us headed outside and entered the car.

Jihyo's driving since she knows that Momo and I are still a bit shaken up by everything that has happened.

"We'll be there in 10 minutes. Hang on, girls." Jihyo muttered while focusing on he road.

I opened my phone and looked at the lockscreen. The picture made me smile as I try reminiscing the moment.

"Babe! C'mon let's take a picture, the view looks great!" Chaeyoung flailed her arms and ran straight to the guardrails. I shook my head and laughed at her childish behavior. "Sana, can you take a shot of us?" She shouted over the sound of the strong wind.

Sana hummed in response, taking Chaeyoung's phone. Chaeyoung wrapped her arms around my waist from behind me as I leaned my body onto her. "Hana, dul, set!" Chaeyoung took me by surprise when she suddenly planted a kiss on my cheek, which made a gummy smile appear on my face. As soon as Sana finished taking the picture, I pulled away and slapped Chaeyoung on her arm.

"I wasn't ready!" I whined and pouted at her. She put an arm around my shoulder.

"It's fine, you always look beautiful babe." She gently rubbed her nose against mine. I scrunched my nose after she pulled her nose away which made her chuckle.

"Omo, you guys are so cute!" Sana squealed as she showed us the picture.

"Yeah, we are the cutest." Chaeyoung had a smug look on her face.

I am falling even deeper for this girl, I swear to God.

I locked my phone and put it back in my pocket as soon as I finished reminiscing the happy memory. I miss her already.

Wait for me, baby.
