[eBook] Crush On You Ep. 21 - (A MiChaeng FF Story)

**Mina grabbed Chaeng on her waist as they exit the studio. It was more of an impulse than thinking if anyone was looking at them or not.**

**Chaeng got startled for a second 'cause it came from her behind.**

Chaeng: Oh!

**She said when she whirled and saw Mina smiling at her, pressing her thumb on her side.**

Chaeng: It's you! I thought it's someone else.

Mina: Thinking of someone other than me?

**She said teasingly.**

Chaeng: Of course, not!

**She exclaimed.**

Mina: Hmm... I didn't know you'll answer question number five that boldly.

**Then Mina stepped on Chaeng's left, arm still wrapping Chaeng's waist.**

**Chaeng wrinkled her nose and smiled.**

Chaeng: You like it? I mean, the Japanese who speak English well?

Mina: Isn't it too obvious? Shouldn't we just be giving them a hint, instead of selling the whole thing?

**Mina was smiling, not even offended with how Chaeng answered the DJ earlier. Almost revealing who her lover is.**

**The thing is, she's more than happy to know that she's proud of it.**

Chaeng: Oh... Sorry! Maybe next time I'll be careful? Don't you think?

Mina: Eh? That's not what I'm saying.

**Mina leaned closer to Chaeng's ear to whisper something.**

Mina: I love it! And I love you, my baby cub.

**Shit! That made Chaeng giddy for a while. The smile after she heard those words seemed to stick on her face for over a minute.**

**Then Mina let go, and tried to stay calm as possible. She wanted to kiss her, but they were walking in front of over twenty people, which may shock them if she just leans down to kiss Chaeng. Maybe later. She thought.**

Mina: See you at the dorm?

**Then she waved at Chaeng to say goodbye.**

Nayeon: Hmm... do I need to know something that you haven't told me yet?

**Nayeon spoke from behind.**

**Oh my gosh! Why is everyone giving me a heart attack today? Chaeng thought.**

Chaeng: Can you walk in front of me first before you speak?

Nayeon: Oh sorry.

**Then Nayeon pulled Chaeng's left arm to intertwine hers.**

Nayeon: So... Tell me, something's going on between you two now?

Chaeng: Are all eyes on me and Mina nowadays?

Nayeon: Kind of...

Chaeng: So it's real? That all of you were talking about us?

Nayeon: Well, we just want to make sure that you two will get along together. So, can you fill me in?

Chaeng: There's nothing to say yet. I'm just glad that everything is working out right now. You know, we're finally talking.

**Nayeon nodded.**

Chaeng: So, are you and Jeong okay now? Or you're still thinking about...

Nayeon: I guess we're okay now.

Chaeng: You guess? So, it's not a hundred percent sure yet?

Nayeon: It's not what I mean. Well, she's starting to get sweet again. She even gave me chocolates last night and telling me sweet nothings again.

**Chaeng nodded. At least she's doing the right thing now. She thought.**

Chaeng: That's nice.

Nayeon: Yeah! I just hope she'll come back to her previous self again. I  mean, being sweet and everything.

**Chaeng doesn't know what to say anymore. It's unfair that she knows something yet couldn't say anything. She just hopes that everything will be okay, so she doesn't need to feel guilty about some things anymore.**

Jeong: Hmm... Can I borrow her?

**Jeong suddenly appeared in front of Nayeon and Chaeng, which surprised them both.**

Chaeng: Oh, sure! Sure!

Jeong: I'm starving. Can we go somewhere before going home?

**Nayeon smiled.**

Nayeon: Why not?

Jeong: I won't invite you today, little cub, okay? I guess we need some alone time since it's our last show for the week and next week's holiday.

Chaeng: Yeah! Yeah! Go ahead. I still have something to do at the dorm.

**Then the two walked in the opposite direction, which left Chaeng walking towards their car alone.**

*****

Mina: I want more.

Chaeng: Another one?

Mina: Yeah...

**Chaeng put another scoop of pistachio ice cream in Mina's cup.**

Chaeng: You sure you can finish that?

Mina: Hmm...

**Then she nodded.**

Chaeng: All right.

**They're sitting at the nook of their dining room side by side with only one light opened. They don't want to wake anyone up since it's already eleven in the evening.**

Mina: Sana's worried.

Chaeng: About what?

Mina: About what Tzuyu said earlier. You know, about flirting around and stuff.

Chaeng: But she's really flirting around. Doesn't she?

Mina: I know. But I guess she's just like that. Touchy and stuff. And I think she really likes Tzuyu that's why it affects her so much.

Chaeng: Why not talk to her then? I mean, they used to be cool with each other before.

Mina: Maybe it's also difficult for Sana 'cause Tzuyu became cold to her lately. I wonder what really happened between them.

Chaeng: Tzuyu's not talking, too. So, I couldn't answer that.

Mina: Hmm... I guess we don't have a choice but to wait for them to sort things out.

**Then silence filled the air. Both of them were busy scooping their ice cream.**

Mina: I'm a bit nervous.

**She whispered.**

**Chaeng turned to Mina, worried.**

Chaeng: Why?

Mina: I mean, for next week, when I meet your mom, your family. I met your mom several times already, even your brother, but it feels different staying at your house for several days.

**Chaeng put down her cup on the table and whirled to face Mina. She knows it's too early for her to bring Mina home, but this is the best time for her to introduce her to her family. At least no one will ask why she's bringing her home.**

Chaeng: Are you having a second thought?

Mina: Noooo! I'm not. I'm just nervous.

Chaeng: Don't worry. I'll stay by your side, promise. Just be yourself. You don't need to please them.

Mina: What if they won't like me?

Chaeng: That won't happen. Well, I remember asking my mom who she likes the most, and she answered me, "Mina 'cause  she looks sweet and nice."

Mina: Really?

Chaeng: Uh-huh!

**Then she grinned.**

Mina: You're just saying that to make me feel better.

**She pouted.**

Chaeng: Of course, not! Who would hate this beautiful lady?

**Then she placed her index under Mina's chin and slightly pulled it to face her.**

Chaeng: Everyone likes you. Do you even know that? Don't you even notice how soft everyone is when they're with you? And sometimes I feel like they like you, the way I do.

**Chaeng Smiled again.**

Chaeng: Don't worry that much, okay?

Mina: All right. Can I have another scoop?

Chaeng: Ooh? Do you think you could still sleep? You're having too much sugar now.

Mina: If I'll kiss you, will give me another scoop?

**Chaeng's left brow went up. Something silly crossed her mind.**

Chaeng: Hmm... if I'll give you this whole pint, what will you give me then?

Mina: This.

**Then she placed her left hand on Chaeng's thigh, squeezed it, and bit her lips. Trying her best to seduce her.**

**Chaeng swallowed hard with the sudden run of Mina's hand on her right thigh---from her knee up in the middle, which made a thousand thoughts inside her head. Then Mina slowly leaned forward, looking straight to Chaeng's eyes before she gave her a peck on her lips.**

**The next thing Chaeng noticed was, Mina was already holding the pint of ice cream in her hand.**

Chaeng: Aaaaaah!

**She hunched down at the table to hide her face. I hate it. She wants to shout.**

Mina: Sorry! I just need my ice cream.

Chaeng: That's so mean!

**Then she felt Mina's hand on her waist and kissed the top of her head before she whispered.**

Mina: I'm sorry.

Chaeng: I hate you!

Mina: I love you, too!
