Mina sipped at Chaeyoung's bubble tea. "I do know her." She said. "We all do."

Minutes had past but no one was willing to speak. Until Chaeyoung decided to. She cleared her throat. "She used to be our friend back to highschool. Can't believe you forgot our dear friend just like that. Well, can't blame you."

Mina gave her a warning look. "Chaeng." Her voice turned low and intimidating.

"She really was our friend!" Chaeyoung said innocently. She smirked and looked at Sana. "Why did you ask?" Tilting her head. "Omg! Don't tell me you guys crossed paths again?"

"So what if we did? Chaeyoung, you're really confusing me right now. Just tell me who's that girl?" She rolled her eyes frustratingly.

Taking the last bite of her bread she mumbled, "Dahyun was this. . . . goody-two-shoes girl. She was very conservative. Despite of being pretty, she was being bullied by some students." She swallowed and sipped on her bubble tea. "Well duh? Who wouldn't if you were this geeky virgin? But I guess she wasn't a virgin anymore since you-"

Sana and Chaeyoung were both startled when Mina abruptly stood up. "That's too much." She exhaled sharply. Then she left after that.

After a minute. Sana looked away from the door to Chaeyoung. "What was that?"

Chaeyoung bit her lower lip. She stood up and grabbed the shopping bags and left. Leaving Sana dumbfounded.

Chaeyoung jogged behind Mina who was walking furiously. "Wait!" She called. But Mina didn't look back at her. She fastened her pace until she finally caught Mina's arm. "What's wrong with you?!" Now she was the angry one.

Mina's face was deadpan. "I can't believe you said those, Chaeyoung."

A gasp escaped from Chaeyoung's mouth. Mina never called her by her name. And the tone she used wasn't very pleasing. "Wow." She scoffed. "You were there that night, Myoui Mina!"

Mina didn't answer.

"Sana asked me so I told her." She made her tone even.

"And that's very rude of you." Mina walked away and straight ahead to her car. She took a last look at Chaeyoung with a hint of disappointment before entering  her car and drove off.

Chaeyoung's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe Mina would react that way just because of what she had said about Dahyun. She fought the urge of breaking down there. The way Mina said those words to her. And the way she looked at Chaeyoung was just hard to take.

TZUYU [POV]

I walked silently into the corridor towards my apartment. Couldn't think of anything else but Sana. That girl is really driving me crazy.

I didn't realize that I already reached my room. I chuckled by that. Then I held the doorknob and twisted it open. Maybe I should take a rest. This whole day was very tiring. Physically and mentally.

Or maybe later.

"Hi ho, missy." Jihyo-unnie was sitting beautifully at my couch. Wearing an unreadable smile.

"Unnie." I closed the door silently and walked towards her. I reluctantly sat beside her and we just stared at each other.

Did she know already?

Is she mad at me or what?

"Where were you?" She finally asked.

Why do I feel tense up whenever she asks me like this? Honestly, she's more strict and intimidating than my own mother.
