•Something About Her• 《Michaeng♡》

Chaeyoung POV

8:00am

"I just woke up next to her and suddenly remembered all the events that passed, it was so crazy." I explained to Dahyun and Momo.

They heard when we came in last night, or rather this morning but didn't bother to get out of bed.

"That's so crazy, I've never heard of a situation like this before." Momo spoke up. I rarely ever hear her speak but since this was so shocking for her to hear, she couldn't help it.

"I know and the fact that she is ok after all that, damn. But are you sure she's ok?" Dahyun asked out of concern.

"She's shaken or else she wouldn't have asked me to sleep over." I said, still thinking about last night's events.

"Anyway I should get ready for work. I can't take any more days off." I said truthfully. I have a lot of work I need to get done, a lot of meetings I need to get through, just a lot.

"Ah crap, I almost forgot about Rose." I said remembering my date.

"What about her? I thought she was gonna be in your project?" Dahyun said, remembering my schedule better than me.

"Oh yeah, I guess I don't really see her as my work partner yet. I hope things don't get complicated, because that would be messy." I said in fear of that happening. Whether we disagree on work or on casual terms it will be awkward and I don't want that to happen.

"We're both staying home today by the way, so you don't have to worry about Mina, we'll keep her company." Dahyun said, bringing me out of my thoughts. I took a sip of my coffee and inhaled the strong aroma. It relaxed me along with the fact that I don't have to worry too much about Mina.

"That's great. How come you're not working?" Usually she's busy coming up with Musicals arrangements for upcoming events. She's a very popular pianist who gets hired for classy events and musical theater.

"I'm taking a day off, i'm really tired these days." She looked at Momo in a very weird way, almost provocative. Then I realised what was going on.

"And that is my cue to leave" I got up and the two burst out in laughter. I just rolled my eyes playfully and went to get changed to prepare for the day.

As I was walking down the hall I stared at Mina's door while walking past. I hope she's sleeping well.

10:00am

"Ugh I need a drink." I poured myself a glass of scotch and took a walk across my office.

It's only 10am and I already had two excruciatingly long meetings and a photoshoot for some rich lady's puppy. Now i have to work on my project, but I have no idea where to start. And I know I have been saying this for so long but soul searching is really hard. Especially since there is so much going on right now. Maybe I should just start from the beginning, when Hoonie and I were abandoned.

"OMG I GOT IT." I ran over to my desk and started to jot down some ideas.

"I'll do the stages of my life but in the first stage it'll be paintings, the middle will be photography and the end model photography."

The first stage will be very sad though since the paintings will be so deep. It really was sad when our parents left, and now one parent is trying to contact us.

I scoffed at the thought.

But would it be so bad to just meet up with her? Just to find out why she's suddenly wanting to reach out.

I opened my laptop and clicked 'compose' on my email homepage.

"I'm gonna regret this" I sighed and started to type.

Author POV

Mina woke up from her deep slumber.

"My head really hurts" She winced in pain holding her head.

She suddenly remembered everything that happened, then broke down in tears.

"I can't live like this anymore." She whispered to herself, sobbing in her pillow. She didn't know what time it was. She didn't care that she was hungry, she just wanted to stay in bed all day.

*20mins later*

"Who is calling me?" Mina groaned and sniffled.

"Hello?" Mina said in a raspy tone.

"Hey how are you feeling?" It was Nayeon.

She then remembered that Nayeon knew about her and Jeongyeon.

"I'm ok unnie, how are things with you and Jeongyeon? I'm so sorry I kept that from you I hope you're not mad." Mina said. She truly was sorry, but she just didn't know how to tell her best friend something like that.

"Mina, can you please not worry about right now, you are way more important than that, plus it doesn't matter because that was a long time ago." Mina was relieved to hear that since she felt so guilty.

She also feels guilty for not wanting to carry on this conversation. The last thing she wants to discuss is the past events. She can't handle when people feel pity for her, it makes her look weak, she doesn't want to be a burden. She'd much rather be the strong soldier nobody has to worry about than a pitiful weak piece of trash.

 Truthfully, that's what she thought.

"Unnie I know you're calling to see if i'm ok and I really am so you don't have to be so concerned anymore" She chuckled at the end to make her facade sound real. And sadly Nayeon bought it.

You see Mina was always good at it, no matter how broken she is she could always mask her real feelings. However not everyone is so stone cold that they are unable to have a change in behaviour. But since she was so accustomed to this kind of thing, being kidnapped and almost possibly harassed she was just a pro at this facade, sadly.

"Ok well let me know if you need anything. I could come over if you'd like?"

"No no unnie it's fine, it's a full house over here and Chaeyoung has a lot going on right now but maybe another time I can introduce you to everyone" Mina said in a hurry, in a bit of a shaky tone.

"Alright, talk to you soon then, I guess." Nayeon responded to Mina's sketchy tone. She knew something was up, maybe she could sense that Mina's high high walls were about to come crashing down. But she knew the latter would always go through these things by herself, no matter how hard she tried to be there for her, Mina would just push her away whenever she tried.

Mina just hung up the phone and hid under her covers, crying, secretly wanting someone to save her.
