**Mina pulled her phone in her pocket as soon as she closed her room door. Thinking that maybe Chaeng left a message for her, but she received nothing from her lover.**
**Her forehead creased. Bewildered as to why Chaeng isn't contacting her. The last time they talked was when she sent the link to her at the airport.**
Chaeng: Hey! How are you?
Mina: I'm home now. Why didn't you leave a message?
**Her voice was weak.**
**This situation is making her anxious even though her parents are on her side, supporting her. But it's making it worst knowing that Chaeng didn't dare to ask if she's okay or not.**
Chaeng: Oh... Sorry. I'm with Jeong and Hyun. We examined the video thoroughly, and then we found out that Yeri was in it. So I went to Yeri and talked to her.
Mina: Yeri? Your friend Yeri?
Chaeng: Yeah! But she wasn't the one filming it.
**Mina blinked several times. It's making it more confusing now. Yeri was there but wasn't the one filming it? Then who?**
Mina: she was there? But not the one filming it?
Chaeng: Yeah! There's someone else.
Mina: Who is it?
**Chaeng was hesitant. She doesn't know if it's okay to tell Mina who it was. She's afraid that Mina would ask more and would find out about what happened between her and Rosie before they become together.**
**Chaeng didn't answer immediately. It took her several seconds before she muttered Rosie's name. There's no point in hiding it anymore. What matters is keeping us together, instead of breaking us apart. She thought.**
Chaeng: It's uhm... Rosie.
Mina: Rosie?
**Her eyebrows met. Why would she do that?**
Chaeng: Uh-huh. But I haven't talked to her yet. Their in hiatus right now and Yeri said she might be in Australia. I'll call her later. We just need to drop Hyun at home. Or I don't know, maybe I'll stay at home, too.
Mina: I don't think I did something to her for her to do this to us.
**Chaeng almost choked with what she had heard from Mina. It wasn't you Mina, it was me. I did something to her which made her mess with us.**
**Chaeng cleared her throat before she spoke again.**
Chaeng: Why don't I call you when I'm settled? We're almost home. I promise to call you sooner.
Mina: Oh... Okay! Let's talk about it later.
Chaeng: All right! Oh! By the way, your mom didn't confiscate your phone?
Mina: No! Let's talk about everything later. I also need to rest.
**She's not tired with her flight, but rather at what's going on around her.**
*****
Jeong: How did she take it?
Chaeng: Hmm...
**Chaeng leaned her head on her seat.**
Chaeng: I just... I just gave her Rosie's name, and she said she didn't do anything to her for her to do that to us.
Jeong: Hmm... and? Did you tell her the truth?
Chaeng: I said I'll call her when I'm settled. That might take a long talk.
Jeong: Okay! You need to explain it thoroughly or else...
Hyun: Or else, you'll end up being single after tonight.
**He blurted out.**
**Jeong smirked at the rearview mirror, while Chaeng hit her brother on his right arm.**
Hyun: Aw! I'm right. Am I?
**He glanced at Jeong at the rearview mirror, and Jeong nodded at his reference.**
Hyun: You're such a womanizer!
Chaeng: I'm not a womanizer!
**She shouted.**
Hyun: You are! You had Somi, then Mina. Now you also have Rose! Who else did you flirt with?
**He shouted back.**
**Chaeng sighed and turned her head to the window. She didn't mean to be so kind to these girls, and she's not even expecting them to fall for her.**
Hyun: Tell me, what's your secret? How could you make them fall for you like this? Why would girls choose Chaeyoung over Hyun?
**Hyun said playfully. Trying his best to make his sister feel better, rather than blaming herself for what's going on.**
**Jeong laughed so hard that it almost hurt Chaeng's ears.**
Jeong: I love what you did there young man.
**Chaeng shook her head, suppressing her smile.**
Hyun: Come on! Tell me! I want to be a chick magnet, too.
**Chaeng pushed her brother a little, still suppressing her smile.**
Chaeng: Study hard. You rascal!
*****
**Mina was already lying on her bed when she heard someone knocking on her door. Must be mom. She thought.**
Mina: Come in!
**Instead of her mom, it was her brother who opened the door.**
Hiro: Hey! Sorry! I know you need to rest, but is it okay to talk?
Mina: Sure!
**Mina pushed herself up to sit, while Hiro left the door ajar and pulled the chair from her study table.**
Hiro: How are you?
Mina: Not fine, I guess.
Hiro: Me, too.
**Mina got surprised by her brother's abrupt answer.**
Hiro: How does it happen that my little sister has a girlfriend and I haven't, and worst she stole my bias!
**Then he chuckled, which made Mina scratch the back of her neck.**
Hiro: Hey! Don't smile at me like that. I'm serious!
**Mina didn't say a word. Instead, she just allowed herself to giggle even more.**
Hiro: I hope you're better now.
**He whispered.**
Mina: You really know how to make me feel better.
**Hiro smiled. He's happy to see her sister smile again.**
Hiro: You know, I don't know what's going on. I mean, I haven't seen the video that mom and dad kept on talking about. All I know is, I'm hearing rumors about you and Chaeng, and I have to admit, you two seemed to be happy together. Though it made me jealous sometimes.
**He said playfully again.**
Mina: Aren't you... you know... against it?
Hiro: Why would I? You look so happy whenever your eyes meet. So what's the point of being against it?
Mina: Thank you!
**Hiro smirked and eyed her.**
Hiro: I just couldn't believe that you stole Chaeng from me.
**He kept shaking his head, pressing his lips together.**
Mina: She likes you, too. You know.
**She said smiling.**
Mina: But she likes me more!
Hiro: Hey! Don't be insensitive. You're hurting me!
**Then he placed his right hand on his chest as if telling his heart that it's okay.**
Hiro: But seriously, I didn't expect you're that brave to tell mom and dad that you love her. That you two are together now.
**Mina also couldn't believe that she'll be able to tell her parents the truth. It was something that she didn't expect herself, too.**
Mina: I don't know. I guess that's the only choice I have. It's either they'll allow me to see her again, or lock me up here and cry till I die.
Hiro: Don't say that. I don't think they'll do that, and if they do, I'll help you escape this castle before it's too late!
**He winked with a smug.**
Mina: You should be the villain of the story, you know. You like her, so you should be mom and dad's accomplice and go after Chaeng!
Hiro: Oh... You're right. That's better than my plan, though!
**Then they both laugh.**
**Mina's feeling better now. Now that she has his brother on her side, and her parents taking care of her, she knows she'll conquer everything.**
Hiro: We'll always be here Mina, no matter what. Just don't get married without inviting us, okay?
Mina: Eeeeeeeh?
