Mina's POV

For days, I've been ignoring Andy's text and calls. I don't know why, should I tell her? How about Chaeng? All this time, I know as well that I like Chaeyoung, we've been together for so long, we've shared a lot of things together.

I'm starting to get confuse, day by day.

"Minari?" it was Chaeyoung, she opened the door. She quickly jumped to my bed to lay down with me.
"H-hey. How are you?" I asked.
"I'm okay, how about you?" She asked. She move closer.
"I'm okay..." I paused, am I really?
"Something's bothering you?"
"uhmm. No.." lie.
"Let's go out, my treat!" she said. She got up  and I held her hand waiting for me to reach it.

We went to an Ice Cream parlor. Still, I'm occupied with my thoughts. About her and Andy.

"Mina~unnie, you're spacing out again.." I looked at Chaeyoung and she look worried.
"I'm okay, maybe tired. Wanna go for a walk?" I asked. She smiled.

While walking, she hold my hand and intertwined it with hers. It was warm and I felt comfortable.

Am I feeling this because Andy is not around. And I'm looking for a company? I'm being unfair to both of them..

"The weather is good right?" Chaeyoung. I nodded.  "About what happened, like what I said, I'll wait." she added.

I turned my head to face her. She's smiling, I simply smiled as well. Why now? When I already have someone?

"I want to properly ask you for a date tomorrow. We don't have any schedule, right?" she asked. I don't know if I should go. I found myself saying yes to her.

She got up and offered her hand for me to hold. We started walking going back to our dorm, however, all of a sudden a flash of camera appeared. Chaeyoung and I was suprised. She immediately dragged me to run to avoid the paparazzi.

"Let's wear a disguise tomorrow. I want to enjoy our date, okay?" Chaeyoung said when we're in front of our room.
"Sure." I answered.

Once I'm inside our room, my phone beeps.

From AS:
-MiChaeng is real.

Then there's a link attached on it. I opened it, there lies pictures of me and Chaeyoung, when we're eating, walking, sitting on a bench. Even the part that we're walking holding hands.

I don't know what to say to Andy. Clearly I'm confused right now and I don't know what to do...

Andy's POV

"Andy, focused!" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Denise shout at me. Mina is not responding to any of my text or calls.

Then a while ago, I saw pictures of her and Chaeyoung, fans are saying that they went on a date. It doesn't look like a fan service.

"Break! Andy, come here!" Coach Maru.
We stopped and I went to coach. He asked me to follow him in the locker room.

"What is happening to you?" he asked. He sound annoyed, I know why. We're preparing for Finals and yet here I am, out of focused.

"I'm sorry coach. I-it's just my shoulder hurts." I lied, although yes my shoulder is hurting but not the reason.
"Do you think you can play? If not, then I can still remove you to our starting 6." I quickly shook my head.
"No, coach! I can still play. I'll just rest tomorrow. I'm really sorry." I said.

"Andy, I don't need your sorry. I want you to be honest, I know you. If it's just your shoulders you're not being like this. Clearly you're out of focus. Tell me, is this about you dating someone, ha?" he asked. Tho, he sound so calm but I know he's pissed.

I just looked down.
"Don't let your personal problems consume you. Be professional, fixed this. If not? I'll remove you to our starting 6." I nodded and we head back outside.

The practice is already done, we decided to have some drinks since we don't have practice tomorrow, and the day after that we will fly to Vietnam for our training.

"Let's get drunk! Woooh!" Chloe shouted the moment we entered our VIP room.

I keep on drinking and drinking. Thinking about Mina, she can just break up with me. Not like this. She's not responding at all and then what? I will see pictures of her enjoying her date with Chaeyoung?

Karma is a bitch! Is she my Karma? What a beautiful Karma she is. I laughed alone, I'm being crazy.

What is she doing to me?

I woke up feeling a massive headache! I got up from the bed but stumbled.

"You have a problem. Spill it." Denise said.
"There's none." I answered.
"You never drink until you passed out, but last night we almost not able to carry you for being drunk too much. That's a first, Ands. You have a high alcohol tolerance." she stated.
"Then maybe I went beyond my limit." I shrugged.

She left me in our room.

To M:
-can we at least talk? I'm sorry for what I texted last night. I don't want to jump to any conclusion, but please let's talk.

Read. Damn it! I feel like drinking again.

I quickly took a shower and head to Lia's apartment. I bought beers.

"What the? You already passed out last night, Denise told me. And yet here you are with beers!" Lia exclaimed. I chuckled.
"Let's bond. Don't be a killjoy!" I went to her couch and opened the can of beer.
"Seriously? What is happening to you?"
"Nothing. We will be busy in few days, might as well enjoy for now." I started to drink

"Andy, whatever it is you need to talk to saw someone. Let it out." Lia said then sit beside me.
"I don't know, yet. I'm dating someone. And it's been days since she last contacted me, I don't want to think any negative things yet, but I can't help it! Damn it!" I shouted, Lia hug me right away.
"What happened?" she asked again.
"I saw pictures of her, with someone she's close with. I'm jealous! I started to think of things, I've been cheated on. And I don't want that to happen again!" I sounded so frustrated.
"Then wait for her to explain. You don't need to be like this, look, it's not helping you at all." Lia keeps on rubbing my back.

We both drink and finished the beers I bought. I decided to sleep here because Lia doesn't want me to drive. We will leave tomorrow to Vietnam. Good thing I already packed my stuffs.

To M:
-I miss you 😭

I text her again, and decided to sleep after...
