Breakthrough | MiChaeng (COMPLETE)

CHAPTER 38: Stay by my side (私のそばにいる)

I heard a heavy sigh from the other line until a few seconds of silence.

"Hello" I heard Minguin finally spoke.

"Mina, it's Chaeyoung" I slowly stated.

"I'm sorry but I don't know someone named Chaeyoung" she plainly answered

"Can you please listen to me first?" I beggingly asked.

"Why would I do that?"

"Minguin, please don't be impulsive" I stated in a low voice

"And who are you to advise? How about you? You replaced me with someone that fast"

"You know what?! Let's just forget each other. Let's just forget that we've met. And from now on, you don't care about my life" she suddenly uttered that made me speechless.

I can't hear anything from the other line anymore other than a buzzing line indicating that the call already ended.

"Chaeyoung, you okay?" Somi worriedly asked since I just burst out with tears.

I can't keep being cold-hearted when it comes to her. No matter what happen I still love her.

"Somi. I wanted to go home"

"You know you can't"

Somi just hug me while slowly caressing my back to comfort me.

"I don't know what's up to you but do you really need to go home?" she slowly asked.

"This is a paid expenses so I can't plus we need to practice" I answered while sobbing.

Somi didn't answer but just walks away and went straight to her luggage with full of messy things.

MINA'S POV

"No we can't permit it" he said while looking straight at me.

"Why? I'm tired of being controlled so please just let me"

I'm currently at the office dealing with our managers and producers telling them that I wanted to quit.

"No. Here's the deal Mina. End your contract first with your co-members, once it ended you're free. If ever that your co-members will have a renewal for their contract as a group, you're not included anymore if that's what you really wanted" he stated with a firm tone.

"I don't have a choice then" I simply answered then walks out of the room.

This is not me but I at least wanted to show them that I'm strong. I'm tired of everything only if I could return to Japan right now I would but I can't. I feel so sorry to my co-members but I wanted to show them that I have a firm decision. I love them but I think it's time for me to finally decide of something that will not manipulate my entire life.

After around thirty minutes of ride I'm back at our dorm. As I opened the door I found them on the lobby, some are sitting on the couch while the others are sitting on the floor. No one's even talking even those loud ones. Our dorm seems to be a cemetery because of the reigning silence. They look like they're contemplating over something.

"Mina? Are you leaving now?" Jeongyeon-unnie suddenly uttered as soon as they realized that I'm standing by the door.

"No. I'm not until we end the contract" I straight forwardly answered.

"Don't leave us, unnie" Dahyun and Tzuyu stated in unison.

They all rushed to my direction and hugged me.

"Please be back to yourself Mina. It's not you" Jihyo-unnie said while holding my hand.

"I'm sorry if we argued Mina but I hope at the end you'll still stay with us" Nayeon-unnie said then hugs me tightly.

As I felt their hugs I realized everything. How we started, how we promised that we'll stay up until the end. I'm still undecided but I hope I'll come to the point where I'll decide what's the best for me and for us.

"Can we just play mafia game?" Jeongyeon suggested out of a sudden.

"That's a good idea to lighten up the mood" Sana immediately agreed.

"Mitang, change your clothes. You don't play mafia games being well-dressed up right?" Momo uttered while chuckling

"Okay" I answered while chuckling.

"Ooooooooh. We finally heard your legendary laugh. We missed it" Jihyo-unnie stated while smiling.

I just walked away while unbelievably shaking my head. They will still be part of my life no matter how hard it gets. They will still stay by my side and go along with what I feel. They'll always be my co-members that I treasure so much.
