[eBook] Crush On You Ep. 29 - (A MiChaeng FF Story feat. SaTzu)

**Chaeng is still holding Mina on her waist while sitting next to each other.**

Nayeon: You okay, Mina?

**Nayeon asked as she approached the two on the couch. Then she smiled when she noticed that Chaeng's arm was wrapping Mina's waist.**

Nayeon: Oh... I guess you're fine. Like absolutely fine!

**Mina creased her forehead, bewildered with Nayeon's reference.**

Nayeon: Don't mind me! I'll mind my own business now.

**She grinned and winked before she turned her back on them.**

Chaeng: I guess I know what she meant.

Mina: And what was that?

Chaeng: She's leaving us alone.

Mina: Eeeh?

Chaeng: I mean, she doesn't want to disturb us.

Mina: Oh! Okay! 

Chaeng: So... you think we should tell them? That we're already, you know... official?

Mina: Hmm... not a problem for me. I guess it's better that they know, at least they won't talk about it behind our backs anymore.

**But what Mina wants to say was, so girls will stop flirting on you.**

Chaeng: Right! And so they won't wonder anymore if you're missing or I'm missing or both of us are missing whenever we have group gatherings, right?

Mina: Uh-huh!

Chaeng: Wait!

**Mina turned her head to Chaeng, confused.**

Mina: Why?

Chaeng: Did you see that?

Mina: See what?

**Chaeng tilted her head to meet Mina's eyes.**

Chaeng: Sana gave Tzuyu a drink. Look!

**Mina searched for the two, but Sana is no longer facing Tzuyu. Tzuyu was sipping her drink, while Sana was several steps away from her. Like nothing happened and as if they don't know each other, too.**

Mina: Did she really give that to her?

Chaeng: Yeah! I saw it. I thought they're not on good terms.

Mina: Yeah! But... what's going on?

Chaeng: I'm not sure either. And why act as if nothing happened?

**As if Tzuyu heard Mina and Chaeng whispering on each other's ear, she walked towards the couch and sat beside Chaeng.**

**Chaeng immediately stared at her.**

Chaeng: What was that?

**Tzuyu stared back.**

Tzuyu: What do you mean, what was that?

**Chaeng squinted.**

Tzuyu: Fine! It's just a drink. She's trying to...

Chaeng: Win you back? Doesn't she?

**Tzuyu returned her gaze in front of her and just continued to sip her cold drink.**

Chaeng: Oh, wait! Is she the old friend you mentioned earlier?

Tzuyu: Shhh!

**Mina just stayed there, sitting close to Chaeng and listening to their conversation. She also wants to know what's going on between the two, since Sana is a close friend.**

**Chaeng's eyes widened. So it's true. She thought.**

Chaeng: So, what's exactly is going on?

**She whispered.**

Tzuyu: Nothing much! Really! We just talked over the weekend, during the holidays.

Mina: You talked? You mean, she called you straight from Japan?

**Tzuyu nodded, still looking straight ahead. Doesn't want to meet anyone's eyes.**

Mina: Wow!

Chaeng: And what's the talk about?

Tzuyu: She just apologized and told me how sorry she was for what happened in the past. I guess I'm no longer mad at her, and yeah that's it.

Chaeng: And then she gave you that?

Tzuyu: Just a peace offering. I guess.

Chaeng: Then what's next? Going out for a dinner? On a date?

**Tzuyu blinked several times before she hid her face on her left palm.**

Chaeng: So I'm right? Am I?

**Tzuyu didn't answer. Instead, she just nodded, face still hiding in her palm.**

Chaeng: You're so soft for her.

Tzuyu: I know. Maybe. Maybe I'll give it another shot?

Mina: Why not? She might be too flirty, but she's nice and genuine. So I guess there's nothing wrong if you gamble again.

**Tzuyu straightened up before she answered Mina.**

Tzuyu: Right! Gamble something again. And if this won't work for the second time, I won't give another chance ever again.

Chaeng: Oooh! That's so blunt!

*****

** Momo's lying on the floor, exhausted.**

Momo: I need something good to eat.

Jeong: Let's go for the unlimited meat? What do you think?

**Then Momo abruptly sat up. She likes the idea of having unlimited meat on her plate.**

Momo: Let's go!

**Jeongyeon clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.**

Jeong: Unlimited meat, guys? What do you think?

**Nayeon ran to her and gave her a side hug. Jeong instantly kissed her on her temple.**

Nayeon: All right!

**Then someone pushed the door forcefully.**

Nayeon: Somiiiiiiiiiiii!

**Nayeon disengaged herself from Jeong and ran towards Somi to hug and greet her.**

Somi: Hello, guys!

**She greeted after she hugged Nayeon.**

**Chaeng immediately forgot about Mina who's fixing her things on her bag, getting ready for their dinner.**

**She ran towards Somi and gave her a tight hug. She misses her so much, and Mina could see it from the way they hugged each other.**

Somi: I missed you, but I hate you at the same time.

**Chaeng pushed herself away from Somi, yet still holding her arms.**

Chaeng: You hate me? Why?

Somi: 'Cause you're ignoring me! Why didn't you answer my call the other day? I just want to know how'd you spent your holidays.

**Chaeng suddenly got nervous, and she could feel that the blood from her face is draining down to her feet.**

**Oh shit! Why do you need to mention that here? She wants to say.**

**She called her the other day? Mina thought.**

Chaeng: Uhmm... I'm with my family, and... and busy with some stuff.

Jeong: Hey! Baby girl! Are you just in the neighborhood?

**Then Somi shifted her attention to Jeong, who's already standing beside Chaeng.**

**Chaeng and Jeong met eyes. Jeong smirked as if she knew that there's trouble coming, and saving Chaeng is her ultimate goal at this moment.**

Somi: Yeah! My class just ended and I heard you guys are also here, so I came to say hi.

Jihyo: Why don't you come with us, Somi? We're going to the grill and have unlimited meat. What do you think?

**Jihyo shouted a few feet away from the three, getting ready to go.**

Nayeon: Oh yeah! Come with us!

Somi: Hmm...

**She grinned.**

Somi: Since I miss this girl so much.

**She laid her hand on Chaeng's shoulder, still facing each other.**

Somi: Okay! I'll go with you, guys!

Momo: Too much talking. I want to go, now. I'm so hungry.

**Momo mumbled beside Mina and Tzuyu, talking to herself.**

Tzuyu: I don't like her.

**Tzuyu whispered beside Mina.**

**Mina looked up to check on Tzuyu, and Tzuyu stared back at her before she shrugged.**

Tzuyu: She's too full of herself... and acts as if she's Chaeng's girlfriend.

**Tzuyu rolled her eyes. Then Dahyun nudged her on her side.**

Tzuyu: What? I'm telling the truth. Even before she's already like that.

**Dahyun eyed her, but Mina didn't see it anymore because her attention is now on Chaeng, and then on Somi.**

**She's gritting her teeth. how can these two act as if she's not around? She thought.**

Tzuyu: Anyway, Mina, let's go? It seems like they're all ready to go out.

Mina: Okay!

**Mina's voice cracked while having thousands of thoughts inside her head.**
