[eBook] Crush On You Ep. 33 - (A MiChaeng FF Story)

**Mina walked towards Chaeng, still wearing a poker face.**

Chaeng: I'm sorry.

**She said as soon as Mina god closer to her.**

**Mina didn't answer, she just stood in front of her with glaring eyes.**

Chaeng: I'm sorry.

**She said again, but softer this time.**

Mina: You want to walk?

**Finally, Mina spoke. But her tone was flat, which made Chaeng shiver even more.**

**Yeah! Sure!

**She answered though she doesn't have any idea where they're going.**

**Mina walked before her, and she tried her best to catch up, wanting to hold Mina's hand and hug her. But she knows she can't.**

Mina: I'm mad. No. No. I'm not mad. I'm furious like I want to slap you right now for giving me this stupid feeling.

**Then she stopped walking, which startled Chaeng for a second, and stepped back.**

**She turned around and stared at Chaeng.**

Mina: I want to hate you, you know. I felt stupid there. I know, they don't know about us yet, but you saying that you're not seeing someone right in front of me just to flirt with that girl makes me so mad.

**She paused. She could feel her body trembling. Something she never felt before.**

**She clenched her fists, and then let go after a minute.**

Mina: I want to hate you.

**She whispered.**

Mina: I want to hate you so bad, but I'm not sure why I can't.

**Chaeng felt so heavy that she couldn't move her body, and Mina's glare is making it worst.**

Mina: I don't know your alibi, yet I still want to hear it.

Chaeng: I don't have an alibi 'cause I know I'm wrong and stupid. I'm sorry. I know sorry won't make you feel better, yet I still want to say it.

Mina: Tell me the truth, you still like her, don't you?

**Mina chuckled. She found her question funny. How silly she is to ask her about that? Of course, she still does. She thought.**

Mina: Well, you wouldn't lie like that if you don't. What's wrong with me? I'm asking the obvious.

Chaeng: No...

**She stepped forward, yet still hesitating to hold Mina.**

Chaeng: No. I don't like her anymore. Maybe yeah I was blinded earlier when I saw her again, but when you were gone I realized it's not her that I need.

**Chaeng blinked several times. Doesn't know if she's saying the right words or not. But she could see from Mina's eyes that she's listening. That maybe she'll listen and give her another chance.**

Chaeng: I know I hurt you, and I would understand if it will take time for you to forgive me.

Mina: You know what's the problem, Chaeng?

**She interrupted.**

**Chaeng didn't answer, she just stayed quiet and waited for Mina to continue what she was saying.**

Mina: I'm mad, yet I still want to hold you. Like what the hell is going on with me. I feel stupid, but I still want to forgive. Or maybe, I've already forgiven you before you even asked me to.

**Mina could feel her tears welling in her eyes.**

Mina: I'm pathetic. Am I?

**Chaeng made another step closer to Mina.**

Chaeng: No. No. No. I am the one who's pathetic here. I'm so stupid to hurt you like this. To do such things without considering what you'll feel.

**She's still hesitant to get closer to Mina to hold her, but giving her a tight embrace might chance everything. So she leaned closer and slowly enveloped her in her arms.**

**Mina didn't push back. She just stood there and let Chaeng hug her so tight.**

Chaeng: I'm sorry for being so stupid.

**Mina didn't say a word, but let herself get weak in Chaeng's embrace. She feels better now, even though the thought of her lover flirting with another girl torn her apart.**

Chaeng: I love you so much, and I promise to not do it again.

Mina: Will you let her know about us?

**If Somi would know, it might change everything. She thought.**

Chaeng: I will. I will tell her about us, don't worry. I promise.

**Chaeng didn't care anymore if Somi will change the way she treats her because it's clearer now that Mina is more important than any other person existing in her life. She can't lose her.**

**She just can't.**

*****

Chaeng: Why are we having hot coffee tonight?

**She said after she placed the tray in front of Mina.**

Mina: I ate a lot of ice cream earlier.

**She grabbed Chaeng's arm and rested her head on her shoulder.**

**Chaeng smiled at the thought that Mina finally came back to how she used to treat her.**

Chaeng: How a lot is a lot?

**She chuckled.**

Mina: Like a lot, and I couldn't even believe I finished it.

Chaeng: Was it the one in the cone?

Mina: Yeah! And Tzuyu was the one who made it for me.

**Chaeng laughed. She now understands what Mina meant about a lot.**

Mina: Why?

Chaeng: Nothing, nothing! I could now picture out how tall your ice cream is. Tzuyu always does that, and the cashier always stares at us whenever we go there for ice cream. I guess the guy from the convenience store wants to tell us that we're paying less for the ice creams we're eating.

**Then she laughed again.**

Mina: It's the same thing I'm thinking because he was staring at us blankly earlier.

Chaeng: He always does that, which makes us laugh every time we go there.

Mina: You three are such rascals.

**Mina said smiling. Then she felt Chaeng leaned her cheek on top of her head.**

Chaeng: 'Cause we wanted to experience everything that teenagers do. You know, we don't have lots of freedom right after our debut.

**Mina understands her. Even though their three youngest members act like adults on stage, they were still kids and they need to experience what they need to experience regardless of their fame.**

Mina: Chaeng...

**Mina mumbled before she slid her hand from Chaeng's arm to intertwine her fingers to hers.**

Chaeng: Hmm?

Mina: Can we not hide things from each other? I mean let's be honest from now on? I don't want to feel this thing again.

**Chaeng squeezed Mina's hand, and placed it on her lap.**

Chaeng: Yeah, sure! I promise to not hide anything from you.

Mina: Thank you.

**For being here, and for choosing me. She wants to say.**

Chaeng: I should be the one saying thank you. You know, for forgiving me.

Mina: Hmm...
