Be My Mistake (2YEON)

iii

I quickly reached for my phone to have her number, "Give me your number and I'll message you." I handed her my phone shaking again.

Mina giggled again of how shaky my hand was. She plugged in her number and gave back my phone.

"I'll go ahead, Jeongyeon. Good night." she smiled and walked away.

I gaped a little as I saw her walked flawlessly.

I checked instantly my phone to see Mina's number on the screen. I quickly saved it and raised my arms for victory.

I felt my heart flustered knowing I'll be going out with Mina tomorrow. "I do like her," I smiled to myself admitting again that I like Mina.

Nayeon's POV

Hours have passed but still, Jeongyeon wasn't home yet. I decided to send a flood text message to her.

"Aish, what a dull reply." I hissed.

I haven't eaten anything this evening. But I haven't felt any hunger yet so I'm still good.

Minutes later, I heard a click on the door and noticed how Jeongyeon slowly went inside our room. She brought two plastic bags with her.

She placed the bags on the table of our mini kitchen and fished out the jellies she brought.

"Here," she handed me my favorite kind of jellies.

"Thank you, Jeongie." I beamed as I received the food I was craving for.

She just nodded and went back to her groceries, "Anyways, I'll continue doing cold compress on your ankle later." she uttered while she was taking out a ramyun from the bag.

"You haven't eaten yet?" I asked curiously. I thought she went out to eat?

"I lost my appetite earlier that's why I stayed in the garden to have fresh air. But suddenly I felt hungry later on that's why I bought these instead," she explained as she waited for her ramyun to cook after pouring hot water.

I nodded in response to her explanation. I tried standing up to pee but my stupid foot was cursing me in pain. I struggled to get up, trying to endure the pain but I failed.

Jeongyeon quickly went closer to help me. "Let me help." she then grabbed my arm and placed on her shoulders for support.

"I'm going to pee," I instructed her.

Jeongyeon slowly brought me inside the bathroom. I waited for her to leave but she was standing quietly, waiting for me also.

"Uh, privacy please?" I told her as I felt uncomfortable.

"Oh, shit. I forgot," she mumbled and ran outside the bathroom. I laughed as her expression went panic.

After I finished my business, I called out for her again, "Jeongie! I'm done."

She peeked through the door, checking if the coast is clear. I giggled silently with her gesture.

Jeongyeon then helped me get up and placed myself around her shoulders again. She carefully positioned me back on my bed and went back to her business after.

I thanked her and she went to her food.

She went to my bed again and handed me extra chopsticks, "Let's share. I can't finish this. I lost my appetite." she said.

I grabbed the chopsticks and shared with her the ramyun. Both of us didn't talk while eating. But it didn't take long for us to finish the ramyun since I was the one who got hungry.

She threw the cup and washed the utensils we used. I observed how Jeongyeon seemed to be normal again.

"By the way," she broke the silence in our room. "Do you know any good coffee place around? Except for the one we usually go?" she asked.

"Why?" I asked her back.

"I asked Mina out awhile ago," she said while showing a shy smile.

She did? I felt a pinched in my chest as she confessed about asking Mina.

I suddenly felt jealous knowing that she already had the guts to ask someone out. I know I don't have the right to stop her. I should be happy for her. She's into that kind of stuff and she grew up already.

But why am I jealous? I argued with myself in my head.

"Well?" I forgot Jeongyeon was still waiting for my answer.

"I know a place. It's quite far from here. I'll send you the address." I answered feeling the weight on my shoulder.

"Okay, thank you!" she excitedly said and went back to cleaning.

I lowered my head feeling kinda bit sad about her going out with someone else.

"So now, are you admitting you like Mina?" I asked.

"Yeah," she frankly answered.

I sighed silently. "Even if we just met her today?" I asked again still not convinced.

She paused then replied, "Yeah, I like her. She's interesting." I saw her blushed.

"And I am not?" I whispered to myself making sure she didn't hear me.

"What?"

"Nothing." then I laid down and covered myself with my blanket.

"You going to sleep? I still have to do a cold compress on your ankle." I heard her while I still hid behind my blanket.

"No need." I coldly answered.

I closed my eyes after that conversation I had with Jeongyeon. I admit I am jealous of Mina. For more than a decade, it's my first to see Jeongyeon this happy because of a person she's interested in.

Sana was right.

Get your senses, Nayeon. You shouldn't be feeling this way. She's your best friend and she will never see you like the way she sees Mina. I thought to myself.

I feel like I'm betraying Jeongyeon because of this feeling I am having right now.
