My Favorite Unnie [MICHAENG]

Chapter 1

"I just don't get it!" Her voice laced with frustration. The shorter girl sits on her bed and stares blankly at me as she voice out what's going on her mind.

"Get what?" I responded, without looking at her. I kept on browsing through my phone, looking for something that would catch my interest.

It's been almost thirty minutes since I arrived at the dwarf's apartment after getting a message from her telling me that she has an emergency. I hurriedly left the group study that I am attending, only to find a completely fine and healthy midget sitting on her bed. Now, here I am sitting on the couch at the corner of her small bedroom.

It takes another minute or so before she responds again, clearly telling me that she can't completely comprehend what is going on inside her mind.

"I still don't understand why she would do that." She finally speaks again.

"Are we still talking about Jungyeon?" I responded.

"Yes. She just told me everything." Her voice is now a bit quieter than before which means she has calmed down.

"And what exactly did she say to you?" I asked. I decided to put my phone down, and head towards her bed. I took one of her pillows before sitting right beside her while hugging the pillow.

"She confessed that she and Momo unnie are dating." She told me with her brows knit together, as if asking me when, why, and how the f*ck all of these happened.

"And your issue is?" I asked again, earning me a death glare."Well they've been flirting for quite a while now. They even share a room Chaeng! That shouldn't come as a surprise for us. And I honestly find them cute. Haha." I told her directly.

"But Mina unnie, they're both.....

......You know?" she asked with both of her hands gesturing for me to help her say the words that her mouth can't seem to speak of.

Honestly, I find this side of her cute. She seems like a little, innocent fluff ball, not capable of understanding how the universe works, and how two of her friends began to like each other even when they're not supposed to. It took me a great effort in suppressing the smile that was about to crept up my lips and decided to blurt out the words that would end her misery.

"They're both girls, so what??" I immediately look away from her and decided to place the pillow on my back so I can lie on her bed.

"Well that's easy for you to say since you're Japanese." It came out as a whisper, but both my ears didn't miss even a single syllable of that snarky comment. She sheepishly smiled at me when I threw the pillow on her head and gave her my 'what-the-hell-I'm-trying-to-help-you-here-and-now-your-insulting-me' look.

But that didn't stop her from giving me a piece of her mind. "Aren't you a little bit concerned? Isn't Momo unnie one of your best friends?"

"Of course I'm concerned, but being her best friend doesn't mean that I get to control her and meddle with things that I shouldn't meddle in. I talk to her while getting back the pillow and hugging it again. "Besides, it is actually the first time I get to see Momo like that."

I can't help but smile widely while mentioning the last part, remembering the look on my best friend's face every time we're together where she often space out and grin like an idiot.

"Look like what?" the midget asks again. She moves closer to me and faces me. She listens attentively to every word that comes of my mouth. If she has a recorder, or a pen and paper I'm sure she already used that on me so that she wouldn't miss anything. As if trying to get all the information, every single tiny detail that she needs to be able to understand and finally accept that her favourite unnie, and my girl best friend is indeed in love with each other.

I close my eyes and think of the right words, the simplest words that would make her understand. I thought about Jungyeon and Momo. I thought about how they would hold hands, how they would stare deep into each other's eyes not minding the world around them.

Then I thought about me.

My mind drifted to the memories I tried so hard to suppress. I thought about how happy I am, I was, with my ex. I thought about how happy I was with her. Of course I would understand Jungyeon and Momo, the feelings they have for each other. Because like them, I too fell in love with someone I shouldn't have fallen in love with.

But Chaeyoung wouldn't understand that. My sweet innocent dongsaeng who's right beside me waiting for my answer wouldn't understand.

I immediately open my eyes and speak the first thing that came into my mind. "Well, she looks like she can float anytime because of overflowing happiness. And the only thing that would hold her down isn't gravity, but Jungyeon's hands intertwined with hers."

As I finish saying those words, I look at her directly to see if she understands me. A disgruntled groan as she ruffles her hair violently says otherwise.

"Well it's already getting late Chaeng. I think I need to go home now." I say as I stand up from her bed, and head to the couch where I left my things. I got my phone, shoved it in my bag and fixed my hair. I headed to the door while she also gets up from her bed to see my off. " Try not to think too much." I told her.

She responds by nodding her head. She started to get closer so she can give me a goodbye hug, which I gladly accepted. It lasted for a good whole minute before I decided to break it off. I walk away after giving her the last wave of my hand indicating that she should already go inside. I place my hands on my pocket and look at the stars shining across the dark sky. 'I got to see her again, today is a really good day' I said to myself as my cheeks hurt from too much smiling.
