[eBook] Crush On You Ep. 28 - (A MiChaeng FF Story)

**Time to go back to reality. Mina thought.**

**But the reality she has right now is, her body's aching from the other day's trek.**

Jihyo: You okay, Mina?

Mina: Eh?

Sana: Yeah! Mina, are you okay? You've been lying on your bed since yesterday afternoon, and it's already eight. Did you know that?

**Mina gulped. She could feel the dryness of her throat. Am I gonna get sick? No! Please not now! She nagged herself.**

Mina: I'm okay.

**She tried her best to push herself up, though every inch of her body aches.**

Mina: I just need to take a shower.

Jihyo: Yeah! Better get up and wake your muscles up.

**I've already wakened up my muscles the entire vacation. She wants to say.**

Mina: What time is our schedule again?

**She's now sitting in her bed, feet on the floor.**

Jihyo: Ten. So most likely, we need to be ready by nine.

**Shocks! I only have one hour to get ready. She thought.**

Mina: Okay, okay! I'll move now.

**Then she stood up and headed to exit their room.**

*****

Dahyun: Soooo...

**Dahyun was standing beside Chaeng who's drying her hair in front of the mirror.**

Dahyun: How's your vacation?

**She leaned forward and whispered in Chaeng's ear.**

Dahyun: What happened? Did something... you know... happened?

Chaeng: What do you mean?

Dahyun: You know... more than...

**Chaeng's eyes widened. She suddenly understood what Dahyun asked.**

Chaeng: Shocks! Why is everyone asking me that? I mean, Hyun also asked me about that thing.

**Dahyun straightened up and continued to brush her hair.**

Dahyun: 'Cause what else do you expect us to ask? I'm sure you slept in one. Didn't you?

Chaeng: I know what's in your head, you just want to tease me. Besides, is it the only one that lovers do? Can we just talk under the blanket and do nothing?

Tzuyu: Can you stand lying in bed with her and not even think of something else? I bet you can't.

**Tzuyu butted in, sitting in her bed and waiting for these two to go to their dance practice.**

**Chaeng turned off her blower and stood up. She's done and ready for their practice.**

**She sighed, still don't know what to say.**

Chaeng: Isn't it too private to share with you guys? And why do you always do this to me?

**She screamed and the two laughed.**

**Tzuyu stood up and put her hand on Chaeng's shoulder.**

Tzuyu: 'Cause it's really fun to tease you.

Dahyun: Yeah! You can't even play a poker face. We could already guess what really happened because your expression says it all.

Chaeng: Can you not tease me in front of her later? She might think I said something to you guys.

Tzuyu: Hmm... I'll try my best.

Chaeng: Tzuyuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

**Then Dahyun and Tzuyu laughed again.**

*****

**Everyone is heading to the studio for their dance practice.**

Dahyun: So, how did your parents react after seeing Mina?

**Dahyun asked with curiosity. She's not yet done questioning Chaeng about her vacation with Mina.**

Chaeng: You have no idea how much my mom and dad love her. It's like they've already accepted her as part of our family.

Dahyun: Well, who wouldn't like Mina? She's pretty, well-mannered, and soft. If I'm your parent, I wouldn't mind my daughter having a girlfriend.

**Then she chuckled, while Chaeng shook her head suppressing her smile.**

Chaeng: Anyway, we just went for a picnic, and trek for a few hours. I wonder how is she right now. I'm sure her body's aching.

Dahyun: Is it her first time to trek? If it is, no doubt about it.

Chaeng: Sad to say, but yeah it's her first. Okay, enough with me. How about you two? How'd you spent your vacation?

Dahyun: Not as adventurous as yours. We just went to karaoke and had dinner with the family, like every single day I was with them. It's fun 'cause everybody's there.

Chaeng: I love family gatherings, too. It's like reconnecting ourselves to one another, right?

Dahyun: Exactly!

**Then they both turned to Tzuyu who's busy with her phone, smiling and giggling.**

Dahyun: Oh... What's up with that Tzuyu? Who's that?

**Tzuyu put down her phone immediately as if trying to hide something on it.**

Tzuyu: Who's who?

Chaeng: That person causing you to giggle like that. Is there someone you met during the holidays?

Tzuyu: Oh, no, no! I hadn't met someone. Just an old friend catching up.

**Dahyun frowned.**

Dahyun: Old friend? Then, who's this old friend?

Tzuyu: Not that important. Anyway, I toured my mom around the area. Brought her to some restaurants I love, and she fell for it, too. Then just stayed in the hotel most of the time for swimming.

Dahyun: Whoa! I like the swimming part. It's been a while since I went to the beach.

Chaeng: Me, too.

Tzuyu: I'd rather go to a pool than to a beach. You know I'm scared of waves.

Dahyun: Beach is fun and refreshing even if you just stay at the shore, you know. We should go some time.

Chaeng: Oh yeah! Yeah! I like the idea! Come on, Tzuyu let's go!

Tzuyu: As if we have time to do that!

**Dahyun and Chaeyoung slumped on their sit. Now their fantasy is ruined.**

*****

**Mina feels like she'll lose her balance. She doesn't know if she's dizzy or her body's too weak to dance.**

**I need to sit. She thought after the last part before the break.**

**Chaeng approached her as soon as the trainer told them to take a fifteen-minute break.**

Chaeng: Hey! Are you okay?

**Chaeng whispered, then she held mina on her elbow. She could see Mina's not in a good shape.**

Mina: I don't know. It feels like I'm gonna faint or something.

Chaeng: Come on. Sit here.

**Chaeng guided her to the couch to rest.**

Mina: I guess It's because my body's aching.

Chaeng: Shit! It's because of the trek and sunlight yesterday, isn't it?

Mina: I guess so. Maybe, I'll be fine later. I just need to eat something.

Chaeng: Sorry. I didn't expect this will happen. I mean, that your body will react like this.

Mina: Hey! Don't say that. It's not your fault. Besides, I enjoyed everything. So even if my body's aching right now, I didn't regret anything.

**Then she smiled.**

Chaeng: Okay! But if you need anything, just let me know. Okay?

**Mina grinned and squished her eyes.**

Mina: I just need you to stay beside me, and I'll be fine.

**Chaeng slid her hand on Mina's waist, which Mina didn't see coming, but she wasn't even surprised. The thing is, she likes it. She likes the feeling of being near her.**

Chaeng: Like this?

**Then Chaeng winked and squeezed Mina closer to her.**
