Chapter Text

Park jihyo was a woman who has her schedule planned out every night before she goes to bed. She loves it when things go according to her schedule and when nothing disrupts her plans. Like yesterday, she had a great day. She had student council meeting at 3, practice at 4, dinner at 7 and went to bed exactly at 1030. Oh how she loved sticking to her schedule.

Today was not one of those days sadly. Sana barged into her room at 730, begging for a love potion to give to tzuyu! Not only was the girl interrupting her study time, she even wanted to forcefully make her precious child fall in love? Jihyo was already stressed about her exams and this added fuel to the fire of her agitation. After bickering back and forth with sana, Jihyo finally managed to blast the girl out of her room at 740. This ruined her study schedule that was supposed to be from 720 to 1015. So to say that jihyo was in a bad mood was an understatement. But. At 1020, just as jihyo was about to brush her teeth, someone started knocking on her door.

Frustrated that some psychopath would come and visit her at this unearthly hour(everyone knows not to disturb jihyo after 10pm.), jihyo unwillingly opened her door. In front of her was son chaeyoung. A short girl with pink hair, who is sadly, one of her best friends. (Jihyo has no idea how she gets away dying her hair pink and not getting scolded by teachers for not abiding by school rules but hey, it’s chaeyoung.)

“What are you doing here?” Jihyo says, agitated.

“Uh…well.”

“Quit wasting my time son.”

“Could you…help me make a love potion?”

Jihyo groaned in annoyance. ‘Dear god. Not this again.’

Why was everyone trying to force people into love? Don’t they know that true love is supposed to come naturally?
“Obviously not! Who is it even for?”

Chaeyoung went silent for awhile.

“Son. I don’t have all the time in the world. Hurry up. You’re ruining my schedule.” Jihyo says as she looks at the clock. 1023.

“It’s for Mina.”

Jihyos naturally large eyes grew larger.

“What? As in myoui Mina?”

“Yes.”

This surprised jihyo as she had always thought that chaeyoung would like somi instead. Mina hated chaeyoung for some reason and chaeyoung definitely showed Mina that the hate was not one sided. In fact, they quarrelled and fought so often that the principal had given up making them get along with each other. They were totally different people. Mina was calm, rational, soft spoken and well mannered. However, chaeyoung always managed to bring out anger from Mina and chaeyoung could even make Mina scream in frustration(with curse words ). That’s how much myoui Mina hates chaeyoung. And chaeyoung hated Mina too. Chaeyoung was an easy going, mischievous, loyal, patient and a good friend who kept getting detention due to breaking several school rules. (jihyo blames it on the fact that chaeyoung is going through her rebellious phase.) In conclusion, both girls hate each other and would rip each other’s throat out if it was legal.

“Don’t you hate her?”

“No shit?”

“Then why are you asking me to make a love potion? Key word, love.”

“I…..well….imayormaynothavedevelopedfeelingsforherduringthesportscarnivalandlikeijustwannaknowhowitsliketobelovedbyheryoukniw?”

“Chae, speak slowly.”

“Right. Right. Sorry.” Chaeyoung apologises, face red. “I said, I may or may not have developed feelings for her during the sports carnival and like I just wanna know how it’s like to be loved by her you know?”

“Chaeyoung, the sports carnival was 5 months ago! If you like her, why do you keep pretending to hate her?”

“That’s the only way she’ll look at me! If I don’t hate her back or if I didn’t get annoyed at her last year and screamed at her in front of the vice principal, cause us to get detention, she would’ve never known I existed! And I hated her so much last year! How was I suppose to know that I would fall in love with my enemy?!”

“That’s…what in the enemies to lovers? I thought you liked somi!”

“That’s what I thought too! But the feeling I get with Mina is different! And I’ll never get my feelings reciprocated because she fucking hates me with a burning passion! That’s why I want you to make the love potion! Please?”

“First of all, language. Second, why not just try to make amends with her, slowly become her friend and maybe she’ll fall in love?”

“Ji, you are aware that I did a lot of horrible things to her before the sports carnival right?”

“She did it back too. Plus, you haven’t done anything bad to her for the past 5 months right?”

“…”

“God, you’re a helpless case.”

“Like I said! It’s one of the only ways she’ll look at me!”

“God.”

“Pleaseeeeee? Just help me out!”

“No. For the last fucking time! Get out of my room! God, why is everyone asking me to make a love potion?”

“Wait, someone else did?”

“Yeah sana. But I rejected her. Now go to sleep! It’s 1035.”

“Alright. Good night.”

The next morning…

“Son fucking chaeyoung. What the fuck did you put in my locker?!” Mina screamed, looking at the glitter all over her body and hands.

‘Fuck, she’s so hot when she curses. And she knows my full name! But I didn’t put that?’

“What the fuck myoui? I didn’t put that in your locker.” Chaeyoung says, trying to make herself look unaffected by the glares that Mina was sending her.

‘Fuck, that glare. So fucking hot.’

“You’re the only one that could pull this type of sick joke on me-

“Mina.” Momo interrupted, taking a look at her locker. “It’s not Chaeyoung. Some guy named bam bam is asking you out.”

Both girls that were bickering snapped their heads towards momo. “What?”

Both girls looked into Mina’s locker. Her locker was not only filled with pink glitter, it was filled with notes and the biggest one in the middle wrote:

“I love you. Will you go out with me?- from bam.”

Mina scrunched her face in disgust. Mina hates glitter. Mina hates pink too. Obviously whoever this bam was, did not know her well at all.

“Ahem.” The three girls turned around and saw a guy with a bouquet of flowers smiling widely at Mina. “Myoui Mina. Will you go out with me?”

Before Mina could say anything, chaeyoung scowled at the guy and took his flowers, gaining attention of everyone around them.

“Bam? Was it?”

“Yes..?” The man said hesitantly. “Actually it’s bam bam-

But before bam bam could finish his sentence, chaeyoung had set the flowers on fire.

“Wha? Hey! Not cool dude. I spent a lot of money on that!”

“Are you stupid? Mina’s allergic to roses, you dumb fuck. And she hates the colour pink! Plus, you made her locker a mess! Who’s gonna clean up this mess huh? Next time, get to know myoui better before you confess. Even I know her better than you. You’re so fucking embarrassing.” Chaeyoung says while snapping her fingers, making Mina’s locker like it was before.

Both Mina and momo’s jaw dropped as they watched the pink haired shorty walk away.

“How does she know all these things about you? Doesn’t she hate you? Hello? Mina? Are you there?” Momo asks, waving her hand in front of Mina’s face.

“Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something. You were saying?”

“Doesn’t she hate you?”

“That’s what I thought too…” Mina replied, looking at her now cleaned up locker.

‘Do you hate me or not?’

“Psst! Sana!” Chaeyoung whispered to her table mate while they took notes on newtons laws. “I heard you went to ask jihyo for a love potion.”

Sana stopped writing. “Look, I didn’t want to force tzuyu into this it’s just I thought tzuyu wouldn’t date me, you know? Like I’m here and she’s like up there. How would I ever thought that Tzu would like me back? I just wanted to try dating her for one day. That’s why I went to nayeon and jihyo! I’m not a creep I swear!”

“Wait. You like tzuyu?”

Sana paused. Her face slowly turned to a deep shade of red.

“Yes…and…we’re dating.”

“WHAT?! WHAT THE FUCK?”

“Son chaeyoung, minatozaki sana. Out of my class! I will not tolerate foul language and if you do not want to learn, do not disturb the other students.”

The two girls made their way out side of the class.

“You and tzuyu are dating? Since when?! Why didn’t that giant tell me? And what do you mean by asking nayeon for a love potion?”

Sana sighed and explained everything to chaeyoung. (Check part one if you haven’t read it yet!!)

“Soo, that’s how it happened! Why are you asking me this anyway? Doesn’t somi like you back? Why are you trying to give her a love potion?”

Chaeyoung groaned, “why does everyone think I like somi? She’s just a friend! And I need someone to make the love potion for me! Jihyo won’t do it cause it’s wrong, which I agree but I just wanna experience dating that person for once!”

“Why not confess?”

“Are you kidding? She hates me! I have zero chance!”

“Who is your mystery crush?”

“Why would I tell you? Anyway, where does nayeon hang out during lunch? I need to find her to ask her to make my potion!”

“I won’t tell you unless you tell me who the mystery person is!”

‘Typical sana, always wanting to know the latest gossip and drama as usual.’

“Fine! The person I like is…Mina.”

“Mina?!” Sana and chaeyoung turned their heads to the right. Chaeyoung visibly paled.

‘Oh fuck me.’

Hirai momo, myoui Mina’s best friend, had just overheard their conversation.

Son chaeyoung was a goner.

“What’s up?” Mina asked, appearing behind momo.

Chaeyoung and sana’s eyes widened in horror.

‘God, if this is a dream, please wake me up.’

“Uh, nothing…” momo said as she looked at the duo, smirking.

“Mina, you should get back to class. I need to ask sana something.”

“Okay, make it quick momoring.” Mina says, adjusting momo’s hair before going back to class and gave chaeyoung a glare. “If you do anything to momo, I will rip you into pieces, shortie.”

“Psh. I wouldn’t do anything to momo. She’s nice. Unlike her best friend who’s a total bitch.” Chaeyoung bites back.

“I hate you so much I swear to god.” Mina murmured while patting momo’s head before leaving.

‘Mina, pet my hair too… T-T’ chaeyoung thought.

The moment Mina went back to class, momo faced chaeyoung. “You. Son chaeyoung, likes myoui Mina?”

Chaeyoung gulped. “Y..yes.”

“But you hate her!”

“That’s what I thought too! But…it just started to change I guess?”

“How long have you been aware of your feelings?” Sana asked.

“Erm…during the sports carnival.”

“That’s five months ago! So that’s why Mina’s the only one throwing insults at you first these past months! You grew soft for her!”

Chaeyoung quickly covered momo’s mouth. “Shh! Not so loud!”

“Just confess.” Momo said simply.

“Are you crazy? She hates me!”

“Yeah but the sooner you confess, the faster you can get over her.” Momo says as she shrugs her shoulder.

Chaeyoung sighs. “I’ll think about it.”

“Nice. I’ll go back to class now. Bye!” Momo says as she waves goodbye at the duo.

“You’re not taking her advice.” Sana asked, but the question sounded more like a statement.

“Nah, fuck that. I’m gonna ask Im nayeon for help.”

Sana giggled, “Nayeon usually spends time at the basketball court. She eats her lunch while looking at her girlfriend practice. You can find her at the benches during lunch.”

Chaeyoung nods her head. “Got it. Thanks sana.”

“Anytime. Let me know how it goes!”

Chaeyoung rolls her eyes.

‘Hungry for gossip as usual.’

Chapter Text

Chaeyoung was the art club’s President. She loved art. Art was her heart and soul. Her first love. She would never let anything or anyone come between her and art. She attended her after school activities on time, if not early. (That’s the only time she doesn’t play truant or do anything to piss the teachers in charge off.) The arts club was her safe space. She loved attending art club. She never skipped it. She got along well with everyone there and enjoyed her time there. Which was why, it came as a shock to Kim dahyun when she found out that chaeyoung had not arrived for that days’s after school activity.

“Where’s Chae?” Dahyun, chaeyoung’s best friend and vice president of the art club asked another student.

“I’m not sure. But it’s not like her to come later than you. Usually she comes at least 10 minutes early.”

“Has any of you seen son chaeyoung in school today?” Dahyun asked around.

A student raised his hands. “I saw her in class today. But she didn’t tell me she wasn’t attending todays session.”

Dahyun raised her eyebrows. Sure, chaeyoung would skip classes from time to time with no valid reasons, play truant and all but chaeyoung would never skip the art club sessions without any valid reason or without letting one of the members know before hand. Chaeyoung was a responsible when it came to the art club. So why was the pink haired girl missing? Dahyun was about to find out.

“Jungkook, you’re in charge of todays session! I’m gonna look for Chae!” Dahyun said as she ran out of the room.

“But-“

BAM.

Andd dahyun was gone.

Meanwhile, chaeyoung was standing outside the basketball court like a creep. Chaeyoung had planned to visit nayeon and ask her for the potion during lunch when it was jus her, nayeon and Jeong Yeon around but luck was not on her side as when she had reached the court, nayeon and Jeong Yeon were making out. When chaeyoung saw them kissing and…touching, she decided to let them have their moment. (Although she never thought they would be so daring to make out in public but hey, at least they weren’t fucking in public.) And so, that’s how chaeyoung had to go to the basketball court during their training session instead, and missing out her art club session. Nayeon was on the benches, looking(drooling) at her girl friend. You see, usually, chaeyoung would have no problem talking to nayeon alone, they both had mutual friends, but the problem was Myoui Mina.

Myoui Mina in her cheerleading outfit.

Myoui Mina who tied her hair in high ponytail.

Myoui Mina who was wearing a fucking short skirt, showing off her milky thighs to everyone, earning stares from everyone.

Myoui Mina who was seated right beside nayeon.

Myoui Mina who-

“Chaeyoung?” Jihyo said as she snapped her fingers in front of the pink haired girl.

“Huh? Wha? Why are you here?”

Jihyo frowned. “Chae, did you hit your head? I’m in the basketball team, remember? And what’s wrong with you? You’ve been standing in this corner like a creep!”

“Well, I was trying to-“

Before chaeyoung could complete her sentence, myoui fucking Mina just had to stand up, showing everyone her toned abs, due to the crop top she was wearing.

‘Cheerleading outfits are the fucking best.’ Chaeyoung thought.

“CHAE, YOU’RE BLEEDING.” jihyo screamed, gaining attention from everyone in the court and on the bench. (Including Mina.)

That’s when chaeyoung realised she was having a nose bleed.

‘Fuck.’

“Are you ok?” Jihyo asked frantically, “oh my god, my poor baby.”

Nayeon rushed over, with Mina just standing at her spot, looking at chaeyoung.

‘Stop looking. Oh my god. Just kill me already. This is so fucking embarrassing.’

“Nayeon, bring her to the nurse’s office, I’ll let the teacher know-

“NO!” chaeyoung interrupted, face as red as jihyos basketball jersey, “I’m ok! I’ll just go to the nurse’s office with nayeon.”

“Are you sure?”

“Don’t worry Unnie, I’m sure it’s nothing.”

And off the duo went!

When they reached the nurse’s office, they realised that the nurse was on break and was not in the office.

‘At least I’m alone with nayeon unnie now.’

“I’m fine unnie. I stopped bleeding already! Look!” Chaeyoung says as nayeon looked for medical supplies to help the pink haired girl.

“No. Jihyo put me in charge. Now stuff this up your nose.”

Chaeyoung did as told.

Nayeon quickly whipped out her phone and took a photo of chaeyoung.

“Unnie! What are you doing?!”

“I’m sending proof to jihyo that you’re ok!” Nayeon says, typing on her phone.

“Unnie.”

“Yes?”

“Can you make a love potion for me? I heard you made it for sana.”

Nayeon dropped her phone.

“YOU LIKE SOMEONE? WHO IS IT?”

“Uh…it’s someone that you don’t know!”

“Honey…I know everyone in this school. I’m fucking Im nayeon.” Nayeon says as she picked up her phone and confident flipped her hair, earning an eye roll from chaeyoung.

Chaeyoung sighed, “it’s….myoui Mina.”

Nayeon stared at chaeyoung in shock.

Silence.

Nayeon dropped her phone again and chaeyoung wonders how the phone has survived with how nayeon has been treating it recently.

“YOU LIKE MYOUI MINA?!”

Chaeyoung panicked and looked around the office, “SHHH. Not so loud! I don’t want the whole world to know!”

“But, you guys hate each other! Like really hate each other.”

“Yeah but I…I don’t know! I suddenly felt it! And I’m like 90 percent sure she’s 100 percent not into me! That’s why I want the potion! I wanna know how it’s like to be loved by her for once!”

“Desperate much?”

“Shut up. I skipped art club to meet you and ask you for the potion.”

“Wow skipping art club for myoui Mina? That’s crazy. Is that why you were creeping around like a creep just now? YOU WERE STARING AT MINA OH MY GOD. YOU NOSE BLED FOR MYOUI MINA. HOLY SHIT. YOU GAY ASS BITCH.”

“WHA? No! I was waiting for you to finish you convo with Mina so that I could talk to you alone on the bench!”

“And the nose bleed?”

“…it was because of what Mina was wearing.” Chaeyoung said in a small voice.

“HAH. I knew it!”

Suddenly, chaeyoung sprang up, “holy shit! I forgot to tell dahyun I’m skipping art club!”

Chaeyoung quickly sent a message to dahyun and ran out of the office. “Unnie, I need to go! I need to go to tuition soon! Could you give me the potion tomorrow? Thanks unnie!”

And chaeyoung was gone.

Nayeon shook her head. “Ah, young love.”

“Aren’t you young too?”

“Jeongie!!”

“Hey, bunny.”

“Why are you here?”

“I wanted to check up on chaeyoung. I didn’t expect to hear that she liked the myoui Mina.”

“I know right? Anyway, I’m going home soon, I need to make a potion for chaeyoung!”

“But that’s not true love!”

“Just let me have my fun.” Nayeon says as she threw a wink at her girlfriend.

Chapter Text

Myoui Mina was a calm, bitchy, cold and rational person. She rarely loses her temper and she’s always soft spoken. She hates shouting, the colour pink, people who are noisy, incompetent in class, has absolutely no sense of time and people who don’t put in effort in their studies but still manages to get top 10 in the cohort. And son fucking chaeyoung is everything she hates in a person. Son chaeyoung could bring out the worst in her in less than 5 seconds and make her scream within 10 seconds. That’s how much myoui Mina hates son chaeyoung. Just last month, chaeyoung had topped the cohort in math, literature, chemistry and geography. Not only that, she had scored full marks for English! Mina was second place, right behind chaeyoung, achieving a 98 for all subjects. Even english! She was born and raised in the states for 8 whole years! How could she lose to chaeyoung who was literally stuck in Korea her whole life?! What made Mina more angry was that with all the shared classes she has with chaeyoung, that girl was always sleeping in class! While Mina was working her damn butt off for exams to maintain being the top ten in cohort, that pink haired bitch didn’t even bother to focus is class or come to class on time! Yet she was always ahead of Mina!

If Mina could, she would run chaeyoung over with a truck fifty two times, burn her body eight times and strangle son chaeyoung. That’s how much Mina hates son chaeyoung. Her friends were always talking about how nice chaeyoung was, leaving her to scoffing in disbelief almost every time momo says, “chaeyoung’s a good kid. She always helps me in class!” Or when sana tries to make the both of them get along for some unknown reason. Today was one of those days. “Come on! Give chaeyoung a chance! She might even become your bestie!”

“Sana, how many times do I have to tell you that me and that hideous pink haired bitch will never get along?! We mutually hate each other! Besties? No way! I would chuck her off the bridge and watch her drown!” Mina scowled at sana. Why won’t anyone get a hint? Myoui Mina and son chaeyoung are polar opposites, not meant to be and they will never get along! Mina would rather tie herself up and jump of a building while being on fire than be chaeyoung’s friend. (That’s a little extreme but a part of Mina knows that she may actually do it)

“I don’t get why you hate that kid so much! She seems genuinely nice! Plus, didn’t she stop verbally attacking you since like after the sports carnival?” Sana asks as she takes out her textbooks for the next lesson.

“Well-

“CHEWY!! LETS GO TO CLASS TOGETHER!” before Mina could list the reasons why she absolutely hated said pink hair girl, sana saw tzuyu by the stairs and ran after her.

“And…she’s gone.”

“Before you kill me and give me a bunch of reasons why you hate son chaeyoung so much, sana is right. Chaeyoung hasn’t been calling you bitch, mocking you for being second place or anything after the sports carnival. Maybe she doesn’t hate you that much now? And how did you guys end up being enemies in the first place?”

“Well,” mina thinks for awhile as she opens her locker.

“Dude what the fuck?” Momo commented.

Mina balled her fist in anger and glared at the girl who was, sadly, her locker neighbour on the left. Son chaeyoung.

‘I’m going to murder this bitch.’

Myoui Mina’s locker was covered in pink glitter, a bunch of roses that was also in pink, a bunch of cards and powder poured out from her locker.

Now, one of the reasons why mina hated chaeyoung more after the school break was because of the girls hair. It was dyed in pink. And mina made it quite obvious that she hated that colour. For the past month, she had been calling chaeyoung the ‘pink haired shortie’. And now, son fucking chaeyoung just had to ruin her morning by stuffing pink coloured things into her locker.

‘I knew it! That’s the reason why she hasn’t been verbally attacking me! She was planning for this!’

“Son fucking chaeyoung. What the fuck did you put in my locker?!” Mina screamed, looking at the glitter all over her body and hands, looking absolutely disgusted by it.

“What the fuck myoui? I didn’t put that in your locker.” Chaeyoung says as she rolled her eyes, slamming her own locker shut while taking a quick look at the girls locker.

“You’re the only one that could pull this type of sick joke on me-

“Mina.” Momo interrupted, taking a look at her locker. “It’s not Chaeyoung. Some guy named bam bam is asking you out.”

Both girls that were bickering snapped their heads towards momo. “What?”

Momo reads out the card , “I love you. Will you go out with me?- from bam.”

Mina scrunched her face in disgust. ‘Who the fuck? He obviously doesn’t know me that well. I fucking hate pink!’

“Ahem.” The three girls turned around and saw a guy with a bouquet of flowers smiling widely at Mina. “Myoui Mina. Will you go out with me?”

Before Mina could say anything, chaeyoung scowled at the guy and took his flowers, gaining attention of everyone around them., especially myoui mina.

“Bam? Was it?” Chaeyoung started.

“Yes..?” The man said hesitantly. “Actually it’s bam bam-

But before bam bam could finish his sentence, chaeyoung had set the flowers on fire using her magic.

“Wha? Hey! Not cool dude. I spent a lot of money on that!” The guy growls, gritting his teeth in anger.

“Are you stupid? Mina’s allergic to roses, you dumb fuck. And she hates the colour pink! Plus, you made her locker a mess! Who’s gonna clean up this mess huh? Next time, get to know myoui better before you confess. Even I know her better than you. You’re so fucking embarrassing.” Chaeyoung says while snapping her fingers, making Mina’s locker like it was before.

Both Mina and momo’s jaw dropped as they watched the pink haired shorty walk away.

The guy runs away, face red in embarrassed while the two Japanese duo stares at Mina’s locker in shock.

‘What the fuck? How does she know so much about me? Doesn’t she hate me? Did she really just clean up my locker? What’s going on?’

“How does she know all these things about you? Doesn’t she hate you? Hello? Mina? Are you there?” Momo asks, waving her hand in front of Mina’s face.

“Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something. You were saying?”

“Doesn’t she hate you?”

“That’s what I thought too…” Mina replied, looking at her now cleaned up locker.

‘Do you hate me or not?’

“Wait till sana hears about this. She’s gonna combust!”

Mina groans, this was not a good way to start her morning.

Chapter Text

It has been 3 days since the nosebleed incident. 3 whole days. It had been 3 days since chaeyoung had came to school.

Mina was worried.

For some reason, Mina was worried. (She knew it in her heart but she would rather die than say it out loud.)

And yes, she saw chaeyoung having a sudden nosebleed. And well, any human being with feelings would be concerned right? Even if it was someone they hated with a burning passion.

Mina knows that after the locker incident, she has grown a tad bit soft on the pink haired girl.

But then again, mina would rather die than say that out loud.

“Sana, what do you think happened to chaeyoung? She hasn’t been in school for three days!”

Mina immediately looked up from her food.

Sana smirked. “Looks like momoring isn’t the only one interested in chaeyoung.”

“Wha? No! I was just…curious!”

“Michan, you literally never give two fucks about her every time we bring chaeyoung up!”

“No! I…don’t care about her!”

Both sana and momo gave her a ‘are you serious’ look.

“Look, Mina, you’re it’s totally okay if you don’t hate chaeyoung anymore! Sometimes hate dies and love prevails!” Sana chirps happily.

“I don’t hate chaeyoung anymore but that doesn’t mean I love her!”

“AH HAH YOU ADMIT THAT YOU DON’T HATE CHAEYOUNG ANYMORE!” The duo shouted

Mina turned red at that statement. “She’s not that annoying when she shuts up I guess…”

“Aw, has the myoui Mina gone soft on me?”

Mina froze.

She would have recognised that voice anywhere at anytime.

Chaeyoung was back.

“They weren’t talking about you, dumbass.” Mina says as she turned around rolling her eyes. “If you think I still have feelings for you, you’re wrong. I’ve moved on.”

“Really?” The girl says as she moved closer to Mina.

Momo and Sana immediately stood up and surrounded Mina in a protective manner.

“Stay the fuck away from Mina.” Momo said, glaring at the girl.

“Tsk. I can’t believe my disguise didn’t work.” Chaeyoung says as she snaps her finger, her pink short hair immediately turning brown and long.

Mina sighs. “Stop acting childish. What do you want?”

“I just want to talk to my lov-

“Don’t call her that.” Sana says as she points her wand on the girls throat. “Call her one more cheesy pet name or anything other than Mina, I will slit your throat.”

The girl raised her hand, “geez, protective much? I just want to talk to Mina in private. I wanna discuss something with her. Alone.”

The trio looked at her suspiciously.

“I’ll go.”

“But-

“It’s okay, I’ll be fine, I can take care of myself.” Mina gives the duo a reassuring smile and went with the girl.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Mina crossed her arms and looked at the girl. “So, what do you want?”

“Easy,” the girl said as she walked nearer to Mina, pinning her against the wall. “You.”

“We’re done. I told you, I don’t want to date a girl who’s a cheater. You cheated on me for 3 whole months during our relationship and now you want me to go back to you?! That’s not going to happen.”

“Tsk, you’re so hard to get…that’s what makes me want you more.”

Mina slapped the girl. “Fuck you park chaeyoung.”

This girl was another reason why Mina hated son chaeyoung. She shared the same name as her ex. Petty, yes but every time Mina hears the name ‘chaeyoung’ she gets reminded of this bitch. But, it’s safe to say that she hated park chaeyoung way more than son chaeyoung. (Yes, Mina has gone really soft on the pink haired girl)

Chaeyoung rolls her eyes and grabs both of Mina’s wrist. “I go by the name rosé now, but you can call me babe after I fuck you so hard, you won’t be able to walk after this.”

Rosé starts to kiss minas neck and cheeks.

“Let go!” Mina squirms, trying to get out of rosé’s hold.

“No.”

Just then, Mina saw a flash of pink colour from the corner of her eyes.

“SHE TOLD YOU TO LET GO YOU ASSHOLE.”

A fist landed across rosé’s face.

Momo and sana went to Mina’s side as Mina passed out.

Chaeyoung grabbed rosé by the collar and pinned her against the wall. “Who the fuck do you think you are?!”

“I’m her ex! I-

Before the girl could finish her sentence, chaeyoung had punched her in the jaw.

“All the more reason to not go near her and rape her you bitch!” Chaeyoung screams as she drops rosé and starts kicking her stomach. “If I see you go near Mina again, I’ll fucking break your face and your arms.”

Rosé nods frantically as tears starts welling up in her eyes. “I promise…”

“Good,” chaeyoung says as she points at the exit, “now fuck off.”

“I’ll take her to the nurses office. You two should get back to class.” Chaeyoung says as she carries Mina in bridal style.

“But, you’ll miss class.” Momo argued. “And Mina is our friend we’ll take her there.”

“It’s okay, dahyun can take notes for me. Plus I skip classes on a daily basis.”

“But…” sana started hesitantly, “don’t you hate her? Why are you doing this?”

Chaeyoung clenches her jaw. “Turns out, I…”

Chaeyoung widens her eyes and stops mid sentence.

The two girls smirk upon seeing chaeyoung’s reaction.

‘Fuck. I don’t just like Mina, I love her. It’s not just a crush…it’s deeper than that. Oh fuck.’

‘She definitely has a crush on Mina’

And that’s how myoui Mina had made chaeyoung more confused than ever.

“Dahyun, I knew Mina?! Since when?! I never knew! Dahyun what the fuck is going on?!”

”Chaeyoung, you need to calm down! Tell me what happened! Why did you skip art club in the first place?! That’s super not like you! And why are you like this?”

Flashback…

Chaeyoung clenches her jaw. “Turns out, I…”

Chaeyoung widens her eyes and stops mid sentence.

The two girls smirk upon seeing chaeyoung’s reaction.

‘Fuck. I don’t just like Mina, I love her. It’s not just a crush…it’s deeper than that. Oh fuck.’

“Look, I’m just doing all this because it’s what any good person would do!” Chaeyoung says as she carries Mina in a bridal style manner.

Sana squeals while momo hits sanas arm.

“Oh my god. Chaeyoung carrying Mina?” Sana asks as the duo follows chaeyoung.

“In bridal style?” Momo adds.

Chaeyoung felt the tip of her ears turning warm. “Stop it! It’s the easiest way to bring her to the nurses office!”

“Sure…”

“Chaeyoung, do me a favour and turn around.” Sana says, taking out her phone.

“Sana, aren’t you worried about your friend at all? We can’t keep making detours-

“Just do it!” Momo ordered.

Poor, gullible chaeyoung stopped in her tracks and turned around. “Alright fine! What is it?”

Click! Click! Click!

“Ya! Delete that!” Chaeyoung shouts, face turning red instantly.

“Nope! It’s so cute! You guys are so cute. Actually, if both of you stopped quarrelling and actually got along, I’m pretty sure you guys would be a couple!” Sana says as she sends the picture to both momo and Mina.

‘Maybe this will make Mina see chaeyoung in a better view.’ Sana thought.

“Psh! As if I would date her!” Chaeyoung says as she turns around and continues to walk with momo and sana trailing behind.

“Oh? No curse words? No insults? You’ve gone soft, chaeyoung ah.” Momo says.

Chaeyoung turns red yet again upon hearing Momo’s words and grumbled softly, “Shut up.”

“Aww, she’s blushing!” Momo teases.

“She didn’t deny it either!”

Chaeyoung groaned.

This was going to be the most difficult trip to the nurses office for chaeyoung yet.

After multiple teasing and laughing from momo and sana, the four of them had finally arrived at the nurses office.

Momo knocked on the nurses office door and the duo explained to the nurse what had happened while chaeyoung gently placed Mina on the nursing bed.

“Two of you may go back to class, one of you need to stay back, write an incident report and stay with Mina so that when she wakes up, you can help her. Don’t worry, she’s fine. She just needs a bit of rest. Her fall did hit her head pretty hard but she just needs some rest and she can go home.”

The two Japanese girls sighed in relief and looked at each other with knowing eyes while chaeyoung just looked at the two of them in confusion.

“Chaeyoung will stay here with Mina!”

The nurse nods. “Very well, you may leave. Chaeyoung, here’s the incident report. You can fill it up on the table beside Mina’s bed. I need to attend a meeting so I’ll be leaving shortly.”

Chaeyoung stood at her spot in shock while the two Japanese girls ran off.

‘What the fuck?!’

And that’s how chaeyoung was stuck in the nurses office, writing the incident report while waiting for Mina to wake up while the nurse left.

After chaeyoung had finally written finish the report, she had originally planned to get out of the nurses office before Mina woke up and beg the other two Japanese girls to wait for Mina instead so that Mina would not question her about her presence because, let’s be real, why would chaeyoung, her enemy(chaeyoungs words), stay with Mina at the nurses office? Chaeyoung is supposed to hate Mina. Mina was supposed to hate chaeyoung. That’s how they worked. And that, in chaeyoungs eyes, was the only way to get noticed by Mina. Which made the pink haired girl even more desperate to not be seen at the nurses office with Mina. However, things did not go as planned. Mina had finally opened her eyes the moment chaeyoung had finished writing her report.

“Chae…chaeyoung? What are you doing here?”

Chaeyoung decided that god was against her and that god simply just loved fucking up her plans right in her face.

Chapter Text

“Chae…chaeyoung? What are you doing here?”

“I…well, you fell and passed out.”

“Chaeyoung, I’m not stupid. I remember how I passed out. I mean, what are you doing here with me in the nurses office? And how did I get here? God, you’re so stupid.” Mina said as he rolled her eyes. “I can’t believe you’re our school’s top scorer.”

Chaeyoung’s eyes twitched a bit upon hearing Mina say that. ‘Why do I like her again?’

“I’m here because I had to write about what happened. Momo, sana and I brought you to the nurses office.” Chaeyoung replied without insulting Mina back.

‘No insults back? That’s new.’ Mina thought. “So what happened after I passed out?”

“None of your business.”

“Chaeyoung. I deserve to know.”

“It’s nothing much actually. I punched rosé once, you passed out and your friends carried you to the nurses office.”

Mina nodded her head in understanding.

Although chaeyoung did miss out some details, she felt that the Japanese didn’t need to know that she broke rosé’s nose.

“Thank you…” Mina said in a small voice.

“I’m sorry, what?” Chaeyoung said as she leaned closer to Mina. “Did you say something?”

“I said, thank you. Thank you for saving me.”

Chaeyoung’s jaw dropped as she looked at Mina in shock.

“What?! You saved me from my ex. The least I should do is thank you!”

“Woah? Myoui Mina, thanking me? That’s new. Looks like you do have some basic manners after all.”

“Ya! I’m not rude! Ugh, you’re so annoying! I hate you!” Mina said as she turns her head the opposite direction of where chaeyoung was.

“Hey! That’s no way to talk to your saviour like that!” Chaeyoung smirks.

“Bitch? You only helped me once and now you’re calling yourself my saviour? Be so fucking for real.” Mina said, back still facing chaeyoung.

Chaeyoung could feel Mina’s eye roll despite not being able to see her face. She sighs, ‘sana’s right, we do get along pretty well when she’s not that bitchy.’

“Hey,” chaeyoung says as she pokes Mina’s shoulder.

“Heyyy, myoui.”

“Ugh, myoui, turn around. I want to ask you something.”

“Shut up. I want to sleep.”

“Bitch, you just woke up. Now turn around.”

“No!”

“Fine, I’ll just ask you like this. Why do you hate me so much?”

Mina turned around. “Do you seriously not remember what happened during our first year of school?”

“Huh?”

“Oh my fucking god.”

“Myoui, the fuck are you talking about?”

“We were childhood friends! Before I left Korea, you promised me that you’ll keep in contact with me. But you never did!”

“I…” chaeyoung was left speechless.

“I was so lonely. I was in a new environment. I couldn’t speak English, I had no friends, and the only friend I had was you! I waited for you, to send me a letter, but it never came. I sent you letters but you never wrote back. And when I came back to Korea, from the states and Japan, I saw you on the first day of school. I wanted to cry. To ask you, what happened. But you walked past me like I didn’t exist! What the fuck son?!”

“Myoui…I…”

“We’re back! Chaeyoung, is Mina awake? I- oh…”

“Why the fuck is Mina crying?! CHAEYOUNG. WHAT DID YOU DO?” momo raged upon seeing Mina’s face.

“I…” chaeyoung was at a lost. “I need to go.”

After saying that, chaeyoung ran out of the nurses office.

‘I knew Mina since I was young? What? Since when?’

There was only one person who could answer all her questions. Park jihyo.

“So I ran and knocked on jihyo unnie’s door but she wasn’t here. You’re my other childhood friend so here I am. How is it possible that I can remember you and jihyo, but not myoui Mina?”

Dahyun sighed. “Alright, I’ll tell you what happened. But you need to promise not to get mad at us for not telling you. It was for your own good.”

“What? Stop beating around the bush and get to the point! What the hell’s going on?”

Chapter Text

“You and mina were like the best of friends. Back when we were kids. You guys were best friends. Stuck together to the hip. Literally. Everywhere she went, you would be there. Jihyo and I were your friends and Mina’s but we weren’t super close to you guys back then unlike now.”

“But why can’t I remember this? My earliest memories are you and jihyo. Mina…is someone I’ve never met until now!”

“I…” dahyun bit her lip’s nervously, “chaeyoung…on the day mina left the country, you tried running after her and you…you got into an accident.”

Flackback…

“Chaeyoungie, I’m leaving for a country far away..” mina says as they stopped in front of her house. “It’s okay mina! I’m sure you’ll come back soon! You’ll come back right?” Chaeyoung innocently asked as she tilts her head looking at mina cluelessly.

“No chaeyoung ah…I’ll be gone for quite awhile. Daddy says he doesn’t know if I’ll be able to come back at all.” Mina says, tears slowly falling down her chubby cheeks. Realisation dawned on chaeyoung. She wiped away Mina’s tears and hugged her. “It’s okay mina, we’ll send each other letters! I’ll keep in touch with you! That way, we’ll still be together! Mummy says that real love will never die no matter how far away! And I really love you mina! You’re my best friend!”

Chaeyoung went back home after dropping Mina off. She went to the telephone and called dahyun.

“Dubu…she’s…leaving…”

“Huh? What’s wrong Chae?”

“Mi….mina’s leaving me…” chaeyoung says, wiping her tears away. She must be strong. For Mina.

“Did you say a proper goodbye?”

“I…I guess so…we talked but….what if she forgets me?”

“Write a letter! That way, she can keep it with her at all times and she’ll never forget you! And you can write down your house address so she’ll know where to post her letters! Don’t worry chaeng, I’m sure she’ll remember you!”

“What’s an adwess?”

“It’s the place where you live! Ask your mom!”

“Okay!”

After hanging up, chaeyoung excitedly wrote a letter to Mina and asked her mother to help her write down their house address.

To Mina:
I’m so sad your leaving :( but my mama wrote down our hose adres below! This way you can eschange leters wif me and we can stil b frens!

Your best fren,
Chaeyoung.

She got ready and walked to Mina’s house. But when she arrived, the house was empty. “Mr smith? Where’s Mina?” Chaeyoung asked Mina’s neighbour. The man looked at chaeyoung sadly, “I’m sorry dear, your friend just left her house five minutes ago to the airport.”

No!

Chaeyoung quickly ran to the direction of the airport but the poor child did not see a truck and got ran over.

“OH MY GOD. KID ARE YOU OKAY??”

Everything was blurry. She saw people crowding around her and there was a constant ringing in her ear.

“CHAEYOUNGIE? WHAT HAPPENED?”

Chaeyoung heard jihyo’s voice and looked to the left. She could see jihyos neatly tied shoes and beside her was the letter.

‘Mina…’ chaeyoung thought as she tried reaching out for the letter.

And then everything faded to black.

Chapter Text

“Wait. If I did get into an accident, wouldn’t my parents or anyone told me? Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?”

Dahyun shook her head.

“That’s where it got complicated.”

Flashback…

“I’m sorry, your child has lost most of her memories…”

“No!” Mrs son screamed, crying on her husband’s shoulder while jihyo and dahyun started wailing and hugging each other.

“Please, doctor, is there any way we can get our daughter’s memories back?” Mr son begged.

The doctor hesitated. “Overtime, her memories will come back. It’s best not to force her to remember anything though, as it might cause stress to her brain and it might lead to her having great pain in her head or fainting. Just give her some time. However, some fragments of her memories will be lost forever. So, even if you do tell her you’re her parents, there’s a slight chance that she might not remember her time with you.”

“Oh my god…” Mr son says as colour starts to drain from his face. “Will she even recognise us?”

The doctor gave a pat on Mr son’s back. “We can only hope for the best. I’m so sorry.” He says before leaving the room.

“What? That’s crazy. I remember who you and jihyo are. And I remember my parents!”

“Yes you did but for some reason, everything regarding Mina….you…you forgot it all.”

When you finally woke up, you did have some trouble recognising me and jihyo. You remembered your family members though. We went to visit you everyday and slowly, you started to remember but… on the first day when you woke up…..

“Chaeng! You’re awake!” Jihyo screamed, jumping excitedly.

Chaeyoung looked at the two girls beside her in confusion. “Who are you?”

“We’re your friends! You’ll remember us soon, don’t worry!” Dahyun said confidently, unaffected by chaeyoungs confusion as she was trying to stay optimistic and hoped that chaeyoung would slowly get her memories back. “Also, here’s your letter to Mina. Jihyo and I couldn’t send it to her on time.” Dahyun says apologetically while placing the envelope on chaeyoung’s lap.

Chaeyoung studied the envelope carefully. Scanning the words written on it.

‘To Mina.’ That’s all it was written at the front clumsily with crayon. She didn’t open the letter.

“Who…who is Mina?” Chaeyoung asked.

“What? She’s your best friend!” Jihyo said simply, “try to remember! She’s shorter than us and she’s got like tons of black dots on her face.”

“But, the moment you tried to remember, you suddenly screamed and blacked out.”

“What?” Chaeyoungs jaw dropped upon hearing dahyun reveal.

“You went into a coma for 3 days after that Chae. After that, we realised that every time you tried to think or recall your past memories forcefully, you would either start screaming in pain, faint and wake up after a few hours, or you would just suddenly faint and go into a coma of 3 to 6 days. There were no in between…we were so scared… We…your parents….jihyo and I….we didn’t know what was going on so we decided to just….let your memories come back at its own pace. But after that, we never mentioned Mina around you ever again.”

This left chaeyoung speechless. “But, if that’s the case, wouldn’t my head hurt or something if I saw Mina at our school on the first day we met?”

“I’m not sure either Chae, jihyo and I were equally shocked by the fact that you didn’t have any side effects upon seeing Mina. But we just decided to let it slide and just pretend nothing happened.”

Chaeyoung sat still on dahyun’s couch, in deep thought.

Suddenly, the pink haired girl stood up and ran out of the room.

“Woah! Chae wait! Don’t do anything rash!”

“Sorry dubs! I just thought of something! I need to go!”

‘Wait for me Mina’

Chapter Text

“Mina, are you ok?” Sana asked, crouching down, holding onto Mina’s hands like a concerned mother.

“Did chaeyoung say anything bad? Why are you crying? Do I need to punch her?” Momo asked.

Mina giggled a bit while wiping her tears. “Nono, I’m okay. It’s just, it seems like chaeyoung doesn’t remember me…”

The two of them looked at her confused. “Why would she know you silly? You just met her a few years ago.” Sana says gently while helping Mina wipe her tears away.

“No…remember my best friend I told you about back in the states?”

“Yeah that bitch who ghosted you. What about her?”

“That…that’s chaeyoung. I tried greeting her and confronting her on the first day of school when I saw her but she just ignored me. Like I was some stranger! I hate it! I hate her! How could she do that do me? But based on my interaction with her just now, she seemed to have no idea what i was talking about. It was like her memory was gone or something. If that’s her way of avoiding the topic, she’s a huge asshole!”

Sana winced at Mina’s flowery vocabulary. No one could make Mina swear as much as chaeyoung.

“I don’t think she means it like that Mina chan. Maybe you should talk to her about it?” Momo suggested, trying to calm down.

How could someone like chaeyoung treat their baby like that? In the first place, chaeyoung didn’t seem like that type of person. There had to be a reason. And not to mention, chaeyoung had a crush on Mina since a whopping 5 months ago!

Mina slowly nodded. “Maybe you’re right…I’ll ask her tomorrow and-

“And here’s the infirmary. I’m hoping you won’t be coming here often.” The principals voice interrupts Mina’s sentence as he opened the door. “Oh? I didn’t expect there to be students here at this time.”

“Mitang?”

Mina looks at the boy, completely shocked.

“Chris?”

“Who?” Momo and Sana asked.

“Do you two know each other?” The principal asks.

“Oh, yeah. Mitang and I go wayyyy back. We used to go to the same school in the states before I moved out! But we’ve kept in contact ever since.”

“Yeah, Chris was my first friend there. I didn’t know you were coming to our school. You could’ve told me.” Mina pouts. Chris just laughs, scratching his neck sheepishly.

Both Momo and Sana’s jaw dropped.

Did Mina just pout?

At a man? They looked at each other confusedly.

“I wanted to meet up with you next week! I was really busy this week so I didn’t have time to tell you that I moved here and I’ll be going to this school. My bad.”

“It’s fine.” Mina gave him a small smile. ‘At least you didn’t ghost me or ignore me. Unlike a pink haired shorty…’

“Hm, then how about this, Mina, why don’t you give Chris, our new student a more in-depth tour around the school tomorrow and help him get used to our school for the next few weeks?”

Mina shrugged, “sure, it’ll be nice to catch up with Chris too.”

“All right! Why are you in the infirmary?” Chris said as he looked around. “Oh and are these your friends you told me about?”

“Good things I hope…” momo muttered. Mina rolled her eyes.

“There was an accident today but I’m fine now. And yes, this is Sana and momo. Guys, this is chris.”

“Nice to meet you.” The two girls said in unison.

“Nice to meet you too!”

“Well, we should get going.” The principal spoke up.

“See you guys tomorrow! Bye mitang, bye guys!”

The three girls waved goodbye at the enthusiastic boy.

Momo and Sana gave each other knowing looks while Mina packed her bag.

“So…” Sana started, “Mitang?”

Mina groaned , seeing this coming from a mile away.

“We were young and we made nicknames for each other. Chris never grew out of it. So we just used it till now.”

“But you called him by his proper name no?” Momo probed as they walked out of the infirmary together.

“Actually, his real name is Christopher Chahn Bahng. I call him chris or…” Mina trailed off, face turning red.

“Come on Mina, don’t leave us hanging!”

“I used to call him channie, as a kid but I got a bit cringed out by it so I only call him that when we’re alone.”

Momo fake gagged, earning a slap on her back by Sana.

“That’s so cute!”

“Ugh, stop it guys.” Mina says, on a verge of walking home without the two other Japanese girls.

“Channie~”

“Mitang~”

“Guys!” Mina shouted as the two girls ran away from Mina, cackling while a red faced Mina chased after them. “I hate you guys so much!”

“Chaeyoung? Dear, you look like you ran a marathon! And shouldn’t you be in art club?” Chaeyoung’s mother looked at her with concern.

“I…” chaeyoung said, taking in all the air her lungs needed from rushing back home. “I need you guys to show me photos of Mina and me.”

Silence.

Her father had turned off the tv, her brother stopped playing his game and her mother looked at her, aghast.

Everyone in the son family stared at her in shock.

“Oh…Chae, did your memories finally come back? Oh my god.” Her mother said, giving chaeyoung a tight hug as the family crowds around her.

“No…dahyun told me about my memory loss and I just wanted to look at photos of us to confirm the facts and also try to get my memories back.”

“But won’t your head hurt? The last time we tried….it didn’t end well.” Her brother asked in concern.

“I’m ready. I’m not a kid anymore and even if my head hurts, I’ll be able to take it. Just please…I want to try to get my past memories back.”

Her father sighed and went up to the attic. “Come on, I’ll show you some photo albums. If your head starts hurting or if you pass out, we stop this immediately and never do it again.”

Chaeyoung nodded her head.

“This was your first play date! Oh, I could remember how eager you were to stay over at Mina’s home.” Chaeyoung’s father gushes.

“Yeah, and here’s when I pushed you off the playground slide cause I was jealous.”

“Of what?”

“Well, as a kid, I had really few friends and Mina was really nice to me but she would always hang out with you more and give you more attention. So out of spite, I pushed you.”

Chaeyoung rolled her eyes, “looks like you were petty even since young.”

This earned a shove from her brother. “Hey! It’s not my fault both of you were stuck together like glue! I’m pretty sure both of you were in love with each other at some point in time.”

Chaeyoung blushed at that comment.

“We were just kids! No way Mina would have a crush on me back then. And she’s not even gay!”

Chaeyoung’s brother studied her carefully. Suddenly, it was as if a lightbulb had lit up above his head.

“Oh my god. Son chaeyoung you dog. I knew it was suspicious! You suddenly wanted to know more about your past with Mina, your current enemy who you literally hate the most. You like her! You have a crush on her! Oh my god! Son chaeyoung. I can’t-

Before chaeyoung’s brother could continue his sentence, chaeyoung shoved a nearby pillow into her brothers face. “Shut up!”

Chaeyoung was so so so close to suffocating her brother with said pillow but her mother called them down for dinner.

“Chaeyoung! Don’t strangle your brother! It’s time for dinner! We can continue this tomorrow! And did you recall any of your memories?”

“No mom!” Chaeyoung replied and gave her brother a glare before heading down to the dining room. “Ugh, you’re so lucky.”

Chaeyoung’s brother smirked and stuck his tongue out.

The next day,

“Chaeyoung! Aren’t you going to eat breakfast? And since when do you leave for school so early?” Mrs son asks as she sees her daughter grabbing toast in a hurry.

“Psh, because Mina is in the student council and she has to get there early. So our dearest chaeng chaeng here, is going to school early to catch her prin-

Before her brother could finish his sentence, chaeyoung wacked her brother’s head. “No you doofus. I just want to make things clear to Mina. Alone. With no one watching. She deserves an explanation. I’ll go first, bye mom, bye dad! Bye loser.”

“Ah, young love.” Her father says, watching chaeyoung hurriedly rush to school while sipping his coffee.

Chapter Text

“Chaeyoung?”

Chaeyoung spun around after closing her locker, seeing jihyo. “Oh, hey ji! What’s up?”

“I…” jihyo stared at the smaller girl in shock. Absolutely baffled. “I….you’re early? You’re not on time or late but early?”

That’s right. Son chaeyoung was early to school for once. Not 10 minutes but a whole whooping 30 minutes early to school. Jihyo had always been trying to persuade chaeyoung to come early to school as it lessens the chances of her being late but chaeyoung never listened. Neither did she do it out of her own will. Something was up.

“Yeah! I uh, woke up early.”

Jihyo shot the smaller girl a questioning look.

Chaeyoung sighed, knowing that jihyo would get the truth out of her mouth by any means, “I…dahyun explained what happened to me last time and I saw some photo albums of me and Mina. I also got a small snippet of my memory back. So I just wanted to let Mina know that it wasn’t intentional to you know, ignore her on the first day of school and forget her. Hopefully this will patch things up between us, she stops hating on me and I have a small small shot of going out with her!”

“Oh chaeyoung, it’s so great that your memories are slowly returning! I can’t believe you’re doing all this for Mina. You must really like her huh?”

Chaeyoung blushed at jihyos comment. “Shut up. Do you know where Mina’s at?”

“Yeah, in the student council office.”

Chaeyoung nodded and mumbled a “thanks”.

“Oh and chaeyoung ah?”

Chaeyoung turned around with a questioning look.

“I heard that Mina likes blondes. Maybe it’s time to get rid of her most hated colour?”

Chaeyoung rolled her eyes and walked away while jihyo gave a loud laugh.

“Ugh you’re such a bitch! And I like my pink hair!”

But both jihyo and chaeyoung knew that chaeyoung was contemplating on changing her hair colour again. Just for the Japanese girl. Son chaeyoung was in deep.

‘Damn, I can’t believe I got jihyo in my fucking head!’

Chaeyoung took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

“Come in!” Jeong Yeon answered.

Chaeyoung opened the door and was greeted with both Jeong Yeon and Mina’s shocked faces.

‘Why is everyone so shocked that I arrived at school early today?!’

“No way. Son fucking chaeyoung is early today!” Jeong Yeon said as she pinched chaeyoung’s cheeks, making sure that it was the real chaeyoung.

“Why is everyone so surprised?!”

“Son, you were late 20 times last semester and the other times you reached school on the dot. Today you’re 25 minutes early.” Mina replied, still in shock.

‘Okay at least she noticed and remembers me!’

Yes, chaeyoung was borderline delusional.

“I…I want to speak to myoui in private please?”

Now, the duo had looked even more in shock.

“Uh, yeah sure. Let me just get out…” Jeong Yeon said as she left the room, still in shock.

Once Jeong Yeon was out of the room, she immediately texted nayeon.

Jeongie: bunnie.

Jeongie: bunnie!

Jeongie: bunnie I know ur awake and ur doing ur hair but pls reply it’s abt Chae

Nayeonie: I was not doing my hair! I was doing facial! And this better be impt.

Jeongie: bunnie…chaeyoung just asked if she could speak to Mina alone at the student council room.

Jeongie: alone.

Jeongie: just the 2 of them.

Nayeonie: OMG.

Nayeonie: OMFG. NO WAY. R U BEING SRS???

Jeongie: YES! OMG

Jeongie: ik Chae likes Mina but damn….

Nayeonie: OMG THEYRE GNA MAKE OUT AND FUCK. ITS HAPPENING

“Myoui…I’m sorry.”

Mina widens her eyes at chaeyoung, not expecting an apology.

“Uh, what?”

“I know you really hate me but let me just…please hear me out.”

Mina nods at the shorter girl and pulls out a chair for her.

Chaeyoung takes in a deep breath after sitting on the chair, unsure where to begin.

“Look Mina-

“Mitangg I’m here! Let’s go! I’m so excited to spend time with you again!”

Chaeyoung grits her teeth.

‘Why god? Why?!’

Chaeyoung and Mina turns around.

Chaeyoung sees a tall, blonde and well built boy wearing their school uniform.

If chaeyoung wasn’t gay, she would definitely see the appeal.

‘Wait, Mitang?’

“Hey Chris, I’ll be with you in a moment. Chaeyoung, you were saying?”

And just like that, chaeyoung chickened out.

“I…no, it’s fine. I’ll tell you later. Erm, is this a new student?”

‘Son fucking chaeyoung! Grow some fucking balls!’ Her own conscience scolded.

“Oh! Yeah! I’m Christopher! Nice to meet you!” The guy smiles brightly and adds, “I’m also mitangs favourite childhood friend!”

Chaeyoung’s eye twitches.

‘That’s me, not you bitch.’

“Mi..tang?” Chaeyoung questions.

Mina blushes.

Chaeyoung’s jaw almost drops.

Almost.

“Yeah, we have nicknames for each other. Come on Chris, I told you not to call me that in school!”

“You told me not to call you that with people around! It’s only you and this midget.”

“Hey! I’m not a midget!” Chaeyoung scowls.

“Well, we must get going.” Mina says as she pushes the boy out of the room. “We’ll talk later son.”

“Ah yeah!” Chaeyoung says but before she could reply, Mina was already out of the door with Christopher. “What the fuck is wrong with me? How could I fucking chicken out?! And who is that guy?! Ugh!”

Suddenly, the door opens.

“Wait! Baby!”

“I JUST SAW MINA WALK WITH A GUY PAST THE CORRIDOR. CHAENG YOUR GIRL’S BEING STOLEN!”

“Now now-

“Chaeng what did you guys talk about! Did you make her straight?! I thought y’all were going to make out!”

“More like rip each others heads off.” Jeong Yeon mutters as she pulls out a chair for the both of them.

“Make out?!” Chaeyoung’s face turns red. “No! I wanted to tell her about my memory loss and I wanted to make it clear to her that I don’t hate her and possibly confess…” chaeyoung’s voice slowly became smaller at the end.

“So why is she with a guy?” Jeong Yeon asked.

“Ugh that’s the problem! That newbie appeared and apparently he’s her favourite childhood friend! And then he interrupted us, I chickened out and they…went off.”

Nayeon shakes her head while Jeong Yeon looks at her pitifully.

“My poor baby.” Nayeon coos.

“It’s okay chae.” Jeong Yeon says as she gives chaeyoung a pat on her back. “You have quite a few classes with her no? You can talk to her after class.”

Chaeyoung straightens her back, determined. “You’re right! It’s not the end!”

“That’s my baby!” Nayeon exclaims.

Chaeyoung kind of wants to throw the new boy into a nearby river.

After the second period (math)

“Hey myoui. Let’s walk to class together. I need to-

“Mitang! Let’s go!” New boy quite literally dragged Mina away before chaeyoung could finish her sentence.

During 5th period before lunch (chemistry)

Chaeyoung writes on her sticky note: meet me during lunch?

And throws the note at Mina.

Mina was about to pick up the note when new boy picks it up before her!

“Oh, I’ll throw the trash for you mitang.”

Chaeyoung almost pulled her own hair in anger upon seeing him throw the note into the bin.

Before the last period (English)

Chaeyoung celebrates in her head.

She sits directly beside Mina. That new boy won’t be able to take Mina away!

“Chaeyoung, you will be switching seats. Christopher will be sitting beside Mina for the whole week as he’s new. You’ll get your seat back next week.”

Chaeyoung almost screams.

But instead, she nods and moves, giving the new boy a side eye before giving him her seat.

So yeah. Talking to Mina was hard. Which is ridiculous because before this boy appeared, they would always have small fights between classes or during classes.

In conclusion, it was that boys fault.

Mina was so preoccupied with the new boy that she didn’t even eat lunch with momo and Sana!

“Mina? She’s hanging out with Christopher.”

“Yeah! After that boy appeared, Mina has been spending less time with us!” Sana complains.

Chaeyoung agrees with sana wholeheartedly.

“Don’t worry! Just tell her next week!” Jungkook tries to make chaeyoung feel better in art club.

“Nah. Make her notice you! Make her talk to you instead!” Dahyun says as she looks up from her art work.

Chaeyoung nods seriously as jungkook shakes his head, telling dahyun not to suggest anything stupid, earning him a slap on his head from said girl.

Chaeyoung stays silent throughout the whole art club session, deep in thought.

“Somi! Open up! I know you’re home!”

Somi opens her door. “Chaeyoung, it’s 8pm! I need to study!”

“Remember how you did this?”

“Yeah? It was great wasn’t it?”

“Yeah about that, can you dye my hair blonde?”

“WHAT?! BLONDE?!” Both chaeyoung and somi flinched as a head appears behind somi.

Chaeyoung pales.

“Jihyo?”

Chaeyoung might be fucked.

“Mina! Have lunch with me today-

“Not today, pretty boy.” Momo says as she interrupted Chris while pushing him away from Mina.

“That’s right! You had her for three days, it’s our turn!” Sana says, grabbing Mina’s arm.

“Well, we could have lunch together-

“No! Girl talk! Men aren’t invited.” Momo interrupted the poor boy yet again. “Plus, go make some friends, you can’t keep sticking to Mina like a lost puppy, some people are pissed off.”

“Who exactly-

“Anyway, nice talking to you but we want to talk and spend time with Mina chan too, so if you’ll excuse us.” Sana drags the two of them out of the class, ignoring Chris’ puppy eyes.

“Come on guys, that wasn’t nice. Chris is new.”

“Mina, it’s so painfully obvious that he likes you and he wants you all to himself! And we missed you!” Sana whines while momo nods her head in agreement.

“No, he doesn’t like me like that. We’re friends! And what’s wrong with him joining us?”

“Mina, you’re like super dense when it comes to these type of things let’s be real here. And, what’s wrong is that we just wanna hang out with you! The three of us! Like last time! I don’t mind him joining us from time to time but ever since he came, your attention shifted directly towards him and just him only. At least join us for lunch with or without him I don’t care.”

Mina looks at the duo, slowly understanding the situation.

“Look, guys I’m sorry. You're right. But why can’t he join our group? There’s nothing wrong with him joining us right?”

Momo and Sana gave each other a look.

“Look, Mina,” momo begin hesitantly, “we would love to get to know him better but there’s just…something off about him.”

“Wha? But you don’t even know him!”

“No, Mina, what momo was trying to say is that-

“No! I can’t believe you! He’s new to the environment and everything and he’s my friend who you just met! How could you say that!”

“Mina, open your eyes! Has anyone approached you after he joined our school?”

“Sana, you know I’m not as approachable and friendly as you!”

“Guys, calm down-

“No! You guys can’t say all this about Chris when you know nothing about him! I’m not a kid! I can choose my own friends! And Chris has been my friend for a very long time. I will not stand you guys talking shit about him!”

“Look, Mina, we’re not talking shit about him. We’re just-

“Forget it momo.” Sana says as she walks away.

Momo sighs. “Mina, we’re so sorry. We didn’t mean to make it seem like we’re talking shit about your friend. It’s just-

“It’s okay.”

Mina lowers her head and walks away.

“Somi! Open up! I know you’re home!”

Somi opens her door. “Chaeyoung, it’s 8pm! I need to study!”

“Remember how you did this?”

“Yeah? It was great wasn’t it?”

“Yeah about that, can you dye my hair blonde?”

“WHAT?! BLONDE?!” Both chaeyoung and somi flinched as a head appears behind somi.

Chaeyoung pales.

“Jihyo?”

Chaeyoung might be fucked.

“You just dyed your hair pink! Now you want to go blonde? Do you want to end up bald?”

“Unnie, it’s not like that! And what’s going on between you and somi?”

Both girls blushed.

“Nothing! She just needed help with studying!”

“Somi never studies.”

“Ya! Do you want me to dye your hair or not?!”

Chaeyoung eyes at the pair suspiciously but drops the topic, handing somi the box of dye.

“Is there a specific reason why you want to go blonde now?”

Chaeyoung feels heat crawling up to her neck.

“No, not really.” She says as she plays with her fingers. “I just want to be more…noticeable?”

Jihyos jaw drops.

“Oh my god.” It hits jihyo. And chaeyoung knows she will NOT hear the end of it. “OH MY GOD. YOU’RE WHIPPED AS FUCK. YOU’RE DYING YOUR HAIR BLONDE BECAUSE I TOLD YOU MINA LIKES PEOPLE WITH BLONDE HAIR MORE. OH MY FUCKING GOD.”

Somi smirks as she applies the dye on chaeyoung’s hair. Chaeyoung just covers her face in embarrassment.

“Unnie, stop it! It’s just-

Ding dong!

“I’ll get it.” Jihyo says as she ignores chaeyoung attempting to explain herself.

“Who is it Hyo?” Somi asks, deeply concentrated in applying the dye.

“Momo? What are you doing here?” Jihyo asks.

“Jihyo? Did I get the wrong place again? I’m looking for somi.”

“Nope! In here! Come in!”

“Hey mo,” somi greeted while chaeyoung waves.

Momo looks extremely confused but greets them anyways. “Hey somi. Hi chae. Sorry for interrupting…what ever this is. It’s just…Mina and Sana got into a fight today.”

All three heads turned to momo.

“What? That’s impossible. You guys get along so well!”

“I don’t know! This all happened because of a misunderstanding!” Momo sighs, lying on somi’s couch. “This is one of the biggest fights they’ve had in a long time. I have no idea what to do!”

“Can you fill us in?” Jihyo asks, passing momo a cup of tea.

“Sure. It’s a long story but it’s a Friday so I guess we can just crash with somi.”

“But, he seems like a decent guy.”

“Yeah. Somi’s right. And your phrasing did low key sound like you’re making him sound like an asshole.” Chaeyoung adds.

“No, I’m just telling you the part where they fought. I haven’t told you what I felt. Something is off with him.”

Chapter Text

“Do you guys know what’s my bloodline magic?”

“Yeah? Isn’t it like spidy sense?” Somi says as she does the finishing touches on chaeyoung’s hair.

Momo rolls her eyes. “That’s not how it works! But yes. It’s called 6th sense. I can feel physical and mental danger. Physical basically works like spidy sense but the mental one is different. It only alerts me when someone is having bad or dangerous thoughts.”

“So, when you’re around chrisy, your alarm goes off?”

“Something like that. I told Sana about it and Sana wanted to warn Mina but our phrasing at the start was bad. We should have been clearer. That was our mistake. And now it ended up with Sana and Mina fighting…”

“I’m sure you guys just need more time. Maybe you should gather some concrete evidence first. I know you’re not lying but this is mina’s childhood friend. I’m sure Mina has a strong opinion of chris.” Jihyo advised gently.

“Bad thoughts like how?” Chaeyoung asks while washing her hair in the toilet.

“I’m not sure. I can only sense it.”

“Maybe we can get tzuyu to help us!”

“Oh my god that’s brilliant! You’re so smart chae.” Jihyo praised.

“Oh yeah! How’s it going with her? Have you asked her out yet?”

Chaeyoung groans. “That’s the thing! Momo, that fella is ruining my plan and my timing! I wish he didn’t appear before I figured my feelings out!”

Somi gives her a pat on the back while passing her a towel.

“Well, our main priority is to figure out if chrissy has bad intentions or not and what he plans to do.”

“And probably protect Mina.” Chaeyoung adds onto jihyos statement quietly.

Everyone smiles upon hearing that.

“If only Mina knew you were such a simp for her.”

“Momo!”

“Can you believe it?!” Mina scoffs, rolling her eyes.

“I’m just glad you didn’t believe them.”

“Of course not! Technically I’ve known you longer than them, so I would trust you more no?”

“Thanks mitang.”

“Any time.”

“So, the midget is son chaeyoung huh?”

“Yeah! She’s the other childhood friend I told you about! The one who ignored me on the first day of school here and literally seems to have forgotten about me. What a bitch right? But she suddenly apologised…” Mina suddenly trailed off.

“Mitang?”

“She…she’s been trying to talk to me these days…”

Chris tightens his hold on his phone.

“Really? Are you sure she’s not gonna insult you again or piss you off?”

“She stopped doing that for quite awhile now. Maybe I should meet he privately and hear what she has to say.”

Christ grits his teeth. “You’re too nice, mitang. If I were you I wouldn’t give her a chance at all! What if she’s just acting nice to give you false hope and then suddenly act really mean to you?”

“But…never mind. It’s late. We should sleep. I’m ending the call now. Goodnight chris.”

“Aw, come on mitang! At least call me by my nickname!”

Mina’s face turns slightly pink. “Chris…”

“I’m not letting you end the call unless you do it!”

Mina playfully rolls her eyes. “Alright, goodnight channie.”

Chris smiles widely. “Goodnight mitang. Sweet dreams.”

‘Fuck. Now I need to get rid of three people? Are you fucking kidding me?’

Chapter Text

The next day, the gang went to find tzuyu and told her everything.

“Well, it’s going to be challenging. I can only read his current thoughts and for me to read thoughts or memories more than a week ago is impossible.”

“Like an expiration date?”

Tzuyu rolls her eyes at momo. “Yes, something like that. I’m still getting the hang of my bloodline magic so currently, I can read people’s current thoughts, memories take up more effort but as long as it’s less than a week, we should be fine.”

“Great! All you have to do is stare into his soul!” Sana exclaimed.

“But they share zero classes.” Jihyo points out.

“Don’t worry, I’ll manage it.”

“Aw, my girlfriend is so dependable!” Sana coos as she gives tzuyu a kiss on her cheek, making everyone roll their eyes.

Chaeyoung fake gagged and said, “Ugh, this is disgusting. I’m going back to class.”

“Don’t be jealous that your crush-

“What crush?” Mina asked as she opened the classroom door, face to face with chaeyoung who paled upon seeing both the girl and the said suspicious man.

Everyone froze as tzuyu quickly covered her girlfriend’s mouth.

“Nothing!” Jihyo said in panic. “We were just talking about uh…momo’s crush!”

Momo snapped her head towards jihyo. “Me?!”

“Momo?”

Jihyo stomped her foot on momo’s own feet.

“Ah- yeah! I…I was telling them about my crush!”

Mina looked at momo curiously, “and you didn’t tell me about it? Momo, how could you?”

“Ah no, it’s because they arrived at class early and we just met up today! I would have told you during lunch or when we met too minari!”

Chaeyoung threw an apologetic look at momo, grateful that the older one was willing to cover up this far for her.

“Oh…well, who do you like?”

Momo’s brain was working in full speed, trying to think of a name that hopefully wouldn’t exist.

“You..?”

Damn it.

Everyone mentally facepalmed themselves.

“HAHAHAH” Sana laughs forcefully. “Momoring you’re such a joker! Come on, don’t joke around and tell Mina who you really like!”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon sana’s quick thinking.

“Alright…I like-

Just as momo was about to make up some random name, she sees the girl that she bumped into last week walk by the classroom.

“Dahyun.” Momo says before she could even register the words coming out of her own mouth.

Mina looks at momo in shock. “Wow, I didn’t know you knew her. I didn’t even know you guys were friends.”

“Yeah, neither did we.” Chaeyoung snorted as she and tzuyu walked back to their own class.

Back in their own class, chaeyoung and tzuyu communicated telepathically.

‘Did you manage to find any dirty on him?’

‘No, he wasn’t making eye contact with me. I couldn’t read his mind. I’ll try again later.’

During the last period of the day, chaeyoung suddenly received a message from tzuyu while she was in the toilet.

‘Chaeng! I found out what Chris is planning! I don’t have time to explain but momo is right. He doesn’t have good intentions. I need you to go to the gym, take away Chris’ water and Mina’s. Quick! I’ll explain everything later!’

Chaeyoung quickly ran to the gym and arrived on time.

Mina was going to drink from his bottle.

Chaeyoung quickly threw a fireball at the bottle, causing the water to be spilled everywhere and the bottle landed on the ground with a loud ‘ping!’

“Son! What are you doing? You should be in class!” The teacher shouted.

Chaeyoung ignored the teacher and pushed Chris away from Mina. “Stay the fuck away from Mina!”

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Chris said, a scowl appearing on his face as he looked at chaeyoung with resentment.

“No, you don’t get to act like you’re all innocent in this. You wanted to harm Mina!”

Chris scoffed. “We’re friends. I’ve known her longer than you. Do you think I would actually harm her? What evidence do you even have? Or are you just delusional and jealous?”

“Say that again.” Chaeyoung threatens as she rolls her hands into a fist, heat starting to rise. “Say that again and I’ll mess your ugly looking face so bad-

Mina suddenly stands infront of chaeyoung and glares at the girl. “Stop it! I hate you so much chaeyoung! Why can’t you leave him alone? He didn’t do shit! How can you say all these things to him? He didn’t do anything! And he was there for me, unlike you! I hate you.” Mina says with finality and coldness.

Chaeyoung’s fist slowly relaxed as she looks at Mina in disbelief. From the corner of her eyes, she sees tzuyu.

“Man, fuck this. I’m done.” Chaeyoung says in anger. “I did so much for you, I wanted to explain but, wow, you’re so fucking bias towards him. Whatever I say won’t get through you, since you hate me so much apparently, so I’ll let tzuyu explain. You won’t even believe me. I’ve not done anything to you. You always insult me first, hell, sometimes I won’t even retaliate back. Why do you think I changed? Have you even thought about it? But it’s so obvious you don’t realise it because you have a big fat stupid crush on this ugly mother-

SLAP.

Chaeyoung looked at Mina dead in the eye while wiping her cheek that Mina had just slapped.

“Fuck you, myoui. I hate you.” Chaeyoung spat and ran out of the gym through the other exit as tzuyu reached them.

Chapter Text

“Mina unnie!” Tzuyu exclaims as she runs towards Mina and Chris. “Stay away from her!”

“Tzuyu, what the hell is going on?!”

“He’s trying to make you fall in love with him! And he’s trying to use you to keep his family out of debt!”

A few minutes ago…

When tzuyu came out of the toilet, she saw Chris walking towards the toilet so she pretended that she had lost something.

“Hi, could you help me find my handkerchief? I think I dropped it somewhere here.” Tzuyu fakes concern and looks at Chris, trying to read his past memories.

“Sure. How does it look like?”

“It’s blue.”

Suddenly, a vision flashes before Tzuyu’s eyes.

A video call.

“We need the myouis Chris. If you marry their daughter, you will be able to take over their company and we’ll be out of debt!”

“I know! But, I can’t make her feel that way for me papa. She only sees me as a friend!”

“Don’t worry, I sent you something useful. It’s a lust potion-

“Hello? I don’t see any blue handkerchief lying around.” Chris interrupts Tzuyu’s vision.

“Uh, could we look around a bit more? The handkerchief was given by someone important to me.” Tzuyu says, locking eyes with the boy again.

Tzuyu had to hurry, her magic strength was almost running out and so was her physical strength. ‘This memory must be more than a week old. I’ll need to hurry and find out what’s going on before I get tired. Lust potion? Isn’t that potion banned?’

“I got the potion papa. I’ll put this in her water and mine during physical education.”

“That’s great, son. This lust potion is special. The moment she drinks it, she’ll fall madly in love with you and want to have sex with you. That’s when this pill comes along. The birth pill-

“I don’t think it’s here. Maybe try looking for it at other places. And I really need to go, my next class is starting.”

Chris turns away before tzuyu could reply him.

Suddenly, a sudden jolt of pain in Tzuyu’s head makes tzuyu fall on her knees.

‘Fuck, I’m at my limit…’

Tzuyu uses her last bit of magic power to communicate with chaeyoung telepathically before she finally gives in to the pain in her head.

“I told chaeyoung to come and warn you about him. After my headache stopped I immediately came to find you.”

“That’s bullshit!” Chris shouts, a vein in his neck popping out. “I would never do that to Mina!”

Everyone in class, including the teacher starred at the trio.

“Alright then. Why don’t you drink both of your water? And if you’ve got nothing to hide, why not empty your pockets?”

Chris starts to struggle to find words to defend himself while Mina looks at him in pure shock.

“Chris…is this true?”

“No! Mina, hear me out! It’s not what it looks like-

Tzuyu quickly takes Mina’s bottle and pours the water onto the floor.

The teacher and students notice that the water coming out of the bottle was purple.

“A lust potion!” The teacher screams, “this is an illegal substance!”

“Exactly.” Tzuyu says as she takes out Chris’ bottle and pours the water out. The exact same colour was shown when poured out. “And if you search him, you’ll probably find another item. The birth pill. After making pina take the water, he was going to ask her to take the pill under the potions influence and sleep with her, making her pregnant. This would make Chris the father and he would probably have to marry Mina, allowing him to take over the myoui company to save his own family from debt!”

Students start to murmur as the teacher holds a firm grip on Chris’ arm.

“I’m calling the police.” Mina says, anger portrayed all over her face.

Chapter Text

Dahyun enters the boxing gym, looking for a short blonde when a well built yet tall man walks over to her. “Hello miss, are you here to sign up for boxing classes?”

“Uh, no. I’m looking for Son Chaeyoung. Have you seen her?”

“Oh! You’re shorty’s friend! She’s in the shower over there. She’ll be out in a minute.”

“Okay, thank you so much.” Dahyun says politely and walks over to a nearby bench.

After a few more minutes, chaeyoung finally comes out of the shower. “Oh? Hey dub! Thanks for bringing my papers. I owe you.”

Dahyun rolls her eyes. “Come on chaeng, you’ve said that for 4 days straight. When are you going back school?”

Chaeyoung scoffs. “Until the school releases me from suspension.”

Dahyun shakes her head. “No. Jihyo stood up for u when Chris tried to take you down with him. Everything has been settled. Don’t use that suspension excuse. Why aren’t you coming back?”

Chaeyoung sits beside dahyun and sighs. “Look, I’m not ready to face her again. Just give me a bit more time.”

Dahyun looks at chaeyoung seriously. “Just because you’re not ready to face someone doesn’t mean you need to skip school, Chae. Look at me. Don’t run away just because things get complicated. Don’t be a wuss.”

Chaeyoung rolls her eyes. “I am not a wuss. I just don’t think I can control myself if I see her. I’m still emotionally unstable, dubs. I’m scared I say something I don’t mean to her. When she took Chris’ side, I felt hurt and betrayed even though I had no rights to and I even said I hate her when I literally have a crush on her! I just…I don’t know dubs, I’m scared to see how she’ll treat me after everything that happened last week.”

Dahyun holds chaeyoung’s hand and strokes it with her thumb gently. “You saved her. I’m sure she sees you in a new light now.”

“How would you know? You’re not Mina.”

“Exactly. And you’re not her either. The only way to know if shes still mad at you is to show up at school and talk to her. Come on Chae, you’re better than this.”

Chaeyoung sighs and ruffles her hair in contemplation.

“Fine. I’ll go back school next week. Coach has been nagging at me to go back to school too.”

“That’s great! I’m proud of you, kid.” Dahyun says as she stands up and ruffles chaeyoung’s hair.

“Hey! I just re-tied it!”

Dahyun sticks her tongue out and picks up her bag. “Walk me home?”

“Sorry, I’m waiting for someone.”

Dahyun’s eyes widen. “After all that talk about Mina, don’t tell me you got over her already?!”

Chaeyoung hurriedly covers the letters mouth. “Don’t go around spreading baseless rumours like that! There’s this new girl in the gym, she’s a junior from our school and we’ve gotten pretty close because coach made me teach her the basic drills. Nothing else! I’m loyal to Mina!”

Dahyun cackles as chaeyoung shoots her a glare. “Alright, enjoy your time with her! See you next week!”

“Bye! Get home safe!”

“Stay loyal to Mina! Don’t go after minors, you pedophile!”

“Hey! I am not-

And dahyun was out of the gym quicker than light.

“Ugh, that asshole.” Chaeyoung grumbles as she throws her towel on her bag.

“Guys,” Mina started as the other two Japanese were fighting over the last bite of waffle left. “Do you think…chaeyoung’s alright?”

“Oh Mina- hey! That was supposed to be mine! You ate so much of it already!”

“Whatever, mina needs our help!” Momo says between bites. “What do you mean, Mitang?”

“I…I feel bad about what happened last week. And she didn’t even show up for school this whole week!”

“Well, you did believe that guy over us-

“Come onnn, I apologised for that already! I’ve even been buying your lunch for this whole week!” Mina whines, “can we not bring that up? I still feel guilty about that. I should have trusted you.”

Sana pats Mina on her back. “It’s okay Mitang, he was your childhood friend after all. And we didn’t have proof. As for chaeyoung…she offended your so called friend like mad and you got mad. Your anger was valid. But you could have heard her out too. So technically, you’re both at fault.”

“But I said mean things…”

“Please, you’ve said meaner things to her during your rival relationship period.” Momo says as she looks at the menu again, looking for something to eat.

“Why don’t you meet her and apologise and become friends?” Sana suggested.

Mina looks at her in horror. “There are so many problems with that plan.”

“Yeah, first one being she doesn’t even know where the other girl lives.” Momo snickered as Sana kicks her under the table.

“I’m serious! A little birdie told me she’s coming back next week! That’s your chance to patch things up!”

Mina brightened up. “Really?”

Momo nodded with Sana. “Yeah, I heard it from jihyo who heard it from dahyun!”

Mina plays with the hem of her shirt and says quietly, “okay, I’ll try talking to her next week.”

“Atta girl!” The duo says.

Chapter Text

Chaeyoung sighs as she closes her locker and stares at Mina’s locker.

Today was the first day that chaeyoung came back from her “break”. The girl was determined to talk to the raven and clear everything up once and for all.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw a familiar figure among the students.

‘Mina!’ Chaeyoung thinks before running after the girl.

However, chaeyoung was so focused on chasing after Mina that she accidentally bumped into someone, causing the person to drop all her books.

“Shit!” Chaeyoung exclaimed as she quickly bends down to pick up the books on the floor. “I’m so sorry, I wasn’t seeing where I was going and-

“It’s okay! I was at fault too!”

Chaeyoung looks up. “Sana?”

“Oh chaeyoung! You’re back!” Sana screams as she launches her body onto the younger girl.

The energetic girl seemed to have noticed something on chaeyoung and finally got off of the latter.

“Chaeyoung is that-

“Unnieee.” A girl interrupts Sana while wrapping her arms around chaeyoung’s. “who’s this?”

“Oh, Sana meet Yuna, my junior that I got close to during my break from school. Yuna, meet Sana…my…friend? Can I say that?”

Sana nodded and waved at Yuna who energetically smiled and wave back before clinging onto chaeyoung again. “Nice to meet you!”

“Unnie, I’m still sore from yesterday’s session! And you left so many marks! I can’t wear my crop tops anymore until the marks disappear!”

Sana’s eyes widen as chaeyoung’s face turns red. “Wait, no, Sana! It’s not what you-

“Oh! I need to get back to class! Bye Chae! Nice meeting you Yuna!” Sana quickly says before running off.

‘So that explains the hickey.’

“Ugh! Yuna! Call them bruises! You’re making it sound like we fucked!”

“What? It’s not even that deep! And you really did leave marks! Look at this!” Yuna says as she lifts her hoodie.

“Yuna! Don’t lift your shift in public like that!” Chaeyoung says as she frantically tries to shove the hoodie back down. “Look, I’m sorry but coach said I should no longer go easy on you! And I have several bruises from yesterday too! It’s normal!”

“Whatever, you owe me lunch for this today!”

Chaeyoung sighs while shaking her head. “Fine. We need to go back class now. I’ll pick you up at your class during lunch?”

“Sounds good!”

Meanwhile…

Sana enters the class with her mouth wide open.

“What’s up Sana? You looked like you witnessed something life changing.” Momo says as she closes sana’s mouth.

“Chaeyoung-

“She’s back?” Mina interrupted, snapping her neck away from her book, looking at Sana.

“More than that, I found out she got laid. And she probably has a girlfriend.”

“WHAT?!” The duo exclaims.

“I don’t know! I saw a purple mark on chaeyoung’s neck when I hugged her just now and…”

By the time Sana had finished explaining her story, momo’s mouth was wide open and the paper from the book Mina was reading was now crumpled.
