Breakthrough | MiChaeng (COMPLETE)

CHAPTER 16: RUMORS

As we finished the first set of our practice I decided to take a break and sit on our bench.

"Chaeyoung-ah, what are you thinking? Huh?" Somi asked me.

"Nothing. I'm just missing mom" I answered to covered up my secret about being friends with Mina

"Seriously?"

"Yep. I stayed in Seoul with mom during our break" I explained to make her believe that it is really the reason why I'm out of myself right now.

"If you say so." She said then turns her back to me to start practicing again.

I opened my phone and send mom a message since I didn't have a chance to talk to her yesterday before I leave because she's at work.

CY: Mom, I arrived safely I'm sorry if I wasn't been able to inform you yesterday.

EOMMA: That's fine, at least I knew you safely arrived.

CY: Mom, if you feel unwell again, inform us okay?

EOMMA: Yep. I'll do.

I closed the conversation with my mom then opened the one with Mina. Shoot! I remember that I just opened her message last night without even replying back. I immediately typed in a message as soon as I realized that she's probably waiting my reply since last night.

CY: Ballermina~ I'm sorry.

I think she's doing something right now that is why I'm not expecting her to reply that fast. I went back to practice and decided to just talk to her later once we're done practicing.

"Chaeyoung! Focus okay?" the coach shouted once again.

I fucking don't know what's happening with me. I'm out of mind since yesterday. Mina leaves a big impact since we met and that made me experience being puzzled up until now.

"I'm sorry, coach" I apologized since I know that I do really have a mistake and this is basically just our first practice.

"Focus! You'll just need to catch a ball that is being passed forward to you but you can't even catch it" he added.

I ignored what he said then continued practicing with my teammates.

------

Our practice went fast and here I am preparing to go home. I opened my car's door and immediately entered. I switched on the music to refresh my mind and I'm happy to hear that Twice song, Cheer up is playing. It's cheering me up but at the same time I remembered that I sang the acoustic version of that in front of Mina which is very embarrassing.

After a few minutes of driving, I finally arrived at our home. My grandma's went shopping so I just went straight to my room and lay down since I feel so exhausted with the whole day practice. I opened my phone and I was a bit disappointed that the penguin is not yet replying back. I decided to open my SNS account and as it loads up there's a trending article, it caught my attention because of the header 'TWICE Mina and GOT7's Bambam spotted hanging out together today", I opened the article and read the whole dating rumor about the only person who's making me out of my mind since yesterday. I can't explain how I should feel right now, I don't know if it's really a rumor since there is also a dispatch photo attached, Mina walking with Bambam and it's really something that can cause rumors since they are the only one spotted without even having a managers around. She's just my friend so I should be happy for her but why the hell I can't do that?

I decided to open my conversation with Dahyun and send her a message.

CY: Dahyun-ah

DH: Yes?

I thought they were busy today but I was surprised because Dahyun replied in just a matter of seconds.

CY: How are you?

DH: Are you really asking me that, Simba?

CY: Why? Am I not allowed now?

DH: Go straightforward, you idiot.

I slowly smiled at her silliness thinking that she's there to make me smile despite of how heavy am I feeling right now.

CY: Tell Mina, my new friend. Congratulations, okay?

DH: What are you saying?

CY: It seems like she's dating Bambam, right?

I'm hoping that she answers no but why would I even need that answer in the first place? Mina is straight, what are you even thinking right now Chaeyoung? She doesn't even know that I'm fucking gay.

DH: I don't know about it. We don't know if they are really dating but what I knew is that Bambam keeps on texting Mina, we don't know if Mina does reply.

CY: Aww I see. Anyway, just tell Mina that I'm congratulating her, if ever that the rumors are true. Okay?

DH: Okay. Take care always Simba. Saranghae.

CY: Yep. Love you too, dubu. I'll sleep now, I'm tired with our whole day practice.

As I sent my last message I closed my phone and put it on the side table. I don't know why I'm hurting but one thing that I wanted to do the most right now is to sleep. I'm so tired physically and resting is what I truly need. I turned on my room's speaker then play some random songs that will make me fall asleep. What I wanted to happen right now is to just be drown with music.
