[eBook] Crush On You Ep. 31 - (A MiChaeng FF Story feat. SaTzu)

Somi: Can you stay with me for a while?

Chaeng: Hmm?

**Chaeng turned to Somi as everyone was already readying to leave.**

**It was indeed one of the best dinners for Chaeng 'cause it's a rare occasion to sit with everyone and Somi at the same time.**

Somi: Don't tell me you're still busy? It's the end of the day. You have no excuse now. But if you still have, I might think you're really avoiding me.

**Chaeng smiled. She missed this kind of tenderness from someone, especially from this girl in front of her.**

Chaeng: Why am I so soft to you?

**Then she pinched the tip of Somi's nose.**

Somi: So, it's a yes? Yeeeey!

**Somi exclaimed even before Chaeng answered her.**

**Chaeng shook her head, smiling. Fine! I guess I don't have a choice now but to spend some alone time with her.**

**But even before she could ask Mina to spend time with Somi for a while, Mina's already gone. The seat at the corner was already empty. Even Tzuyu and Dahyun were not there anymore.**

**Chaeng pulled the bottom of Jeong's sleeve.**

Chaeng: Where are they?

**Then she pointed at the direction where the three seated.**

Jeong: They left already.

Chaeng: They leave without saying goodbye?

Jeong: They did. You're just too busy with Somi.

**Jeong whispered.**

**Shit! Why didn't I notice that?**

**Then all of them exited the restaurant.**

Jeong: Hey, Somi. When will we see you again?

Somi: Hmm... Maybe after your concerts? Which means ages, right?

Nayeon: Well, let's try to catch up sooner again, even before the concerts. What do you think?

**Somi turned to Chaeng and smiled.**

Somi: If Chaeng will invite me, why not? I'll gladly free up my time for this little one.

Nayeon: Yaaaah! It's your job now to invite her all the time, okay?

Chaeng: Fine! Fine! I promise to invite her.

**She said, still smiling.**

Nayeon: Are you going to drop Chaeng at the dorm? 'Cause it looks like Chaeng's car already left.

**Chaeng's eyes widened.**

Chaeng: They left me here? Like seriously? Tzuyu and Dahyun left me here?

Jeong: Chill, kid. Maybe they assumed you'll spend more time with Somi.

**But something's not adding up. Chaeng thought.**

**Leaving her without saying goodbye is not their thing.**

Chaeng: Can you excuse me for a while? I'll just call Dahyun.

**She walked several feet away from the three and let the others say goodbye to Somi to Call Dahyun.**

Dahyun: Yeah?

Chaeng: Why'd you left me here?

Dahyun: Why'd we left you there?

Chaeng: Yeah?

Dahyun: Yeah?

Chaeng: Shit! What's going on? Why are you just repeating what I'm saying?

Dahyun: You're fucked, bro. I'm telling you, you're doomed.

Chaeng: What are you saying?

Dahyun: You still didn't get it. Well, anyway, enjoy your night bro. Enjoy it!

**Dahyun said sarcastically before she ended the call.**

*****

Tzuyu: Mina-ssi, is this okay with you?

**Dahyun laughed, which made Mina smile and forgot what she's feeling right now.**

Dahyun: What's that? That's too much! That might fall.

Tzuyu: I don't think so. I think it will stick to the cone.

Mina: That's fine! I'll try to eat it as fast as I can.

**Then she chuckled.**

Momo: If it's too much for you Mina, I can have it.

Tzuyu: Noooo! That's for Mina!

**She exclaimed.**

Tzuyu: I'll make you yours if you want.

Momo: I want... And can you give me more than what she has?

**Dahyun laughed again. Couldn't believe Momo's silliness.**

Dahyun: You're unbelievable, Momoring.

Momo: And irresistible, too.

**Dahyun shook her head before she asked Mina to find a seat.**

Dahyun: Still, regretting coming with us, Minari?

Mina: Eeeeh?

Dahyun: You know.

**Mina shook her head.**

Mina: No. I'm actually feeling better now. Thanks for asking me out.

**Dahyun nodded.**

Dahyun: We're best friends, but I don't like what she did there. You know, among these girls, I would be one of the people who would understand, right?

**Mina didn't get it at first, but then realized what she was talking about, and it's about her and Jeong. What happened to Dahyun seemed to be a bit similar to what's going on with her. But I hope it won't end up like that. That Chaeyoung will have a secret relationship with Somi. She thought.**

Mina: I know. Are you okay now?

Dahyun: I am. I mean, I no longer think about her, and I'm starting to be okay with everything. I no longer envy Nayeon for the attention Jeong is giving her.

Mina: You're strong.

Dahyun: Sometimes you don't have a choice, but to be tough, you know.

**Mina didn't say anything. She just continued to eat her ice cream, afraid that it will melt and mess up her hand.**

Dahyun: You three aren't still done yet?

**Dahyun shouted from where she and Mina was sitting—facing the glass wall and watching the people passing by.**

Tzuyu: Almost, done.

**Then the three walked towards them with a cone of ice cream in their hands.**

**Mina laughed as soon as she noticed how tall Momo's ice cream is.**

Mina: Can you finish that?

Momo: you want to bet? I can finish two.

Dahyun: If you'll become a zombie you'll probably eat everyone without losing appetite.

Momo: I won't eat you. I don't think I want tofu on my meal.

**Dahyun turned to her, deadpan, then everyone laughed.**

Sana: Can I try it?

**Sana asked Tzuyu, since Tzuyu got the Vanilla Milk Ice Cream, while she has the chocolate one.**

Tzuyu: Yeah! Sure!

**Then she forwarded her hand towards Sana to give her a bite.**

Tzuyu: Like it?

**Sana nodded before she leaned closer to Tzuyu and whispered.**

Sana: But I like you more.

**That made Tzuyu giggle instantly. Couldn't suppress how it made her feel giddy.**

**Dahyun cleared her throat.**

Dahyun: Can we be more sensitive this time?

**She said teasingly.**

**Then the two giggled even more.**

Tzuyu: Sorry...

Momo: Yeah! Be sensitive and stop flirting with each other.

Dahyun: you need to have a date, Momoring. You're too grumpy these days.

Sana: Yeah! Momo, find someone to date and stop being too grumpy to everyone.

Momo: Naaaaah! Not on my list yet.

Mina: What if I'll ask you out, Momoring? Will you say yes?

Momo: Eeeeeh?

**She turned to Mina, surprised with the sudden question.**

Mina: What do you think? At least my only rival is food, right?

Sana: Ooooooh! That's something, Mina. I've seen that, too, and if I'm in your shoes I would be as annoyed as you are. Or maybe more than that.

Tzuyu: Look who's talking.

**Then Sana pressed her lips, almost hid her face behind her ice cream.**

**Dahyun gave Sana a bang.

Dahyun: She got you there!

**Mina sighed. She doesn't want to heighten the jealousy she's having inside. She wants to relax and forget about it.**

Mina: Let's talk about something else. I don't want to ruin our night because of me.

Momo: You're not ruining our night Mina.

Sana: Yeah! Always remember we're here to listen and support you. We're friends, remember?

**She smiled and winked at Mina, which instantly warmed Mina's heart.**

Sana: If you need a hug, I could always give you one.

Tzuyu: Stop! You're starting it again.

**Tzuyu whispered, giving her a warning.**

Sana: As a friend, you know.

**Mina giggled.**

Mina: I guess you better reserve that to Tzuyu.

Sana: Mina said to give my hug to you.

Tzuyu: Noooooo!

**Then everyone laughed.**
