make it or break it // lee chaeyeon + miyawaki sakura

puzzle solved.

Chaeyeon's POV

"Aish, you shouldn't have done that, Chaeyeon. What if he did something worse?" Saku-chan scolds as she treats my busted bottom lip.

"You could've done the same thing though-- oww." I hiss when she presses the cotton ball hardly against my wound, making me grip on to the sheets to fight the sting. "YA! Can't you be more gentle at least?"

"Still! I get that you were just trying to protect Wonyoungie but you shouldn't have stepped up like that, we have bodyguards for a reason."

I roll my eyes at her. "It's just a busted lip, stop overreacting."

"It was still dangerous," she points out with a stern tone. "And stop being so hardheaded and listen to me."

"Sorry." I say with a cheeky smile to tease her.

When we were making our way to the building where our new dorm is located, a man suddenly takes hold of Wonyoung, who was walking beside me.

"Omo!" She yelps, clearly surprised and frightened.

I immediately join the commotion and much to my surprise, I recognize that man as my fan who loudly yelled at the company building just a few days ago during our first public appearance.

"Ya, what do you think you're doing?"

"Chaeyeon-ah, you finally noticed me!"

I didn't acknowledge what he said but instead, I hold on to our maknae's wrist and try to forcefully remove his hand. One of our guards interfere and suddenly, there was this huge mess involving me, Wonyoung, my supposed 'fan', and our bodyguard.

Yes, it escalated THAT quickly.

Thankfully, the rest of the girls had already entered the building so they wouldn't be dragged into this but Eunbi unnie rushes back out to check on us.

"Chaeyeon!! I'm a huge fan!! I love you!!!" He crazily blabbers while resisting our security.

"Let go!!" I shout as he was now gripping on to me instead of Wonyo.

"YA!!" Unnie yells as she runs towards us. He was then carried away, making the three of us sigh in relief. "That was crazy."

"Wonyoung-ah, are you okay?" I ask the youngest.

"I'm okay, I'm okay." She dismissively answers but when she sees my face, her eyes widen. "Unnie, your lip!"

Eunbi unnie glances at me as well, then she clicks her tongue in annoyance. "Aish, I can't believe that man had the nerve to do that to you!!"

She was getting ready to chase after him but Wonyoung and I stop her.

"Let's go inside to get that treated, unnie." Wonyo says.

"How did you not even notice that he elbowed you?" Sakura ridicules with a chuckle. "Gosh Lee Chaeyeon."

"I was worried about Wonyo," I answer with a pout. "She looked really scared."

She weakly smiles and leans closer to see my lip better. "I like it when you're so protective. It's kinda attractive." She absentmindedly and softly blurts.

I resist the urge to smile, and I was about to respond but a familiar tone from my phone starts blasting throughout the room. I look at the screen then back at the girl standing in front of me.

"I'll leave you to answer that first."

"Thank you." I say in reply and she walks out of the room.
