Mina's POV
"Thank you for today. Are you sure you'll be fine?" The client asked.
I stood up, "yeah. It's nice to work with you, ma'am." I shook her hand.
"Please feel free to call if you want me to redesign something." I smiled.
"Yes, thank you. Have a safe ride home."
I went out of the house and stared at my watch. It's already almost 9 in the evening and the rain is starting to pour down. God, I haven't noticed the time. I was too distracted.
I went to the nearest bus station and waited for the next bus to come then the rain started pouring. I wonder if there's still buses at this time.
[...]
"Where are all the buses?!"
I've been here for almost 30 minutes and still no buses! I think they already had their last stop. Why does my car have to be broken at this day?!
I want to just take a taxi, but it's also unavailable because the rain is just too hard.
Damn it! I'm so unlucky today. I should just call for help.
I dialled Nayeon's number and thank god she immediately answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey. What are you doing?"
Please be free. Please be free.
"Busy cleaning up some documents. Why?"
Damn it.
"Can you get me some help? I'm stuck here in Chuncheon and there's no buses or taxis available because of the heavy rain."
"What are you doing there?"
"Business, obviously."
She's just so dumb that I want to smack her in the head sometimes.
"Yeah, sure. Lemme call someone, but try to ask for someone else too. Maybe that person is also busy."
"Okay. Thank you so much." I hung up the call.
I wonder who she's going to ask to.
Who should I call next? Should I call Chaeyoung?
Nah. What am I even thinking?
"Hey, Sana." I greeted as she answered the call.
"Yeah?"
"Are you doing something right now?"
"I'm with Tzuyu. Why?"
God. I don't think the two of them can live a day without spending time with each other.
"Can you ask for help? I can't get out of Chuncheon. There are no taxis or buses available because of the rain."
"Sure, sure. I'm just going to text you if I already got one to help you."
"Thank you! Thank you so much, Sana!"
I can finally breathe.
"No problem. I'm hanging up, bye!"
I sat down. This day is just so tiring.
It didn't take that long when a message from Nayeon came.
nabongs -.-
nabongs -.-: seokmin
is on his way there.
wya???
I immediately replied where bus station I am. I'm finally going home!
I want to tell Seokmin to stop this when he arrive, but I don't think it's a nice timing. He tried to pick me up here somewhere far away from Seoul then I'll tell him that? I want to tell him so much ASAP, but the timing is always bad. Why am I just so unlucky?
I stood up as a text came.
seokmin :P
seokmin :P: i'm omw
to pick you up. :))
I can't help, but feel guilty. I'm sorry, Seokmin-ah. I really am.
I stood up and waited more. There's so many mosquitoes, it's so itchy.
"No!" I panicked as my phone jumped out of my hands after I slapped my arm too hard.
"No, no, no, no, no." I immediately picked it up as it landed on the gutter.
Shit! It won't turn on! Fucking mosquitos! Fucking rain! Fucking life! Damn it!
I sat down in frustration. Goddamnit.
[...]
It's been past an hour since I received Seokmin's text. I think he'll be here soon. I'm so sleepy.
I was about to close my eyes when a car suddenly stopped in front of me.
"Hey." The window car opened.
"Chaeyoung?"
What the hell is she doing here? I thought Seokmin's coming?
"What are you doing? Hop in." She chuckled.
"Ah, y-yes."
She immediately drove as I sat in the passenger's seat.
"Have you already ate dinner?"
"Yeah."
"Cool."
We became silent. I don't know. I'm not uncomfortable with it. I kinda like it, not gonna lie. Maybe because I feel like sleeping.
"Are you sleepy?"
I sat straight, "ah, yes. A bit."
She noticed.
"Well, you can sleep of you want to. I'm just going to wake you up." She smiled.
She's still the same. She still have that warm comforting smile.
Chaeyoung's POV
We're now near her house. It didn't take her long enough to sleep. I covered her with my jacket as I stopped for the red light. Cute.
I was silently waiting for the light to turn green when I suddenly received a text.

seokmin: are you

How the hell did he know?
You: yeah. how did

seokmin: meet me

He also knows that I'm bringing her home. How? Did Mina contact her?
[Earlier]

sanaaaa: heeeyyy

[...]
We're already in front of her house. I just want to stare at her while she's sleeping, but I can't because Seokmin wants to meet with me and I don't want to look like a creep.
"Mina-ya." I shook her as gentle as possible.
"Five minutes, mom." She groaned.
God. Why does she have to be so cute?
"Mina, it's Chaeyoung," I chuckled. "We're already here."
"Chaeyoung?" She slowly sat up.
"O-oh. We're here."
I can't help but chuckle. She really looks so cute when she's shy. I'm gonna miss her.
"Thank you for tonight, really. Looks like I owe you one again." She chuckled.
"Nah, it's fine. Go take a rest, I know you're tired." I smiled.
"Well then," she removed the seatbelt, "I'll get going. I will not see you go." She opened the door and got out.
"Yeah. Good night, Minguin." I smiled.
"Good night to you too, Chaeyoungie."
3rd Person POV
"Damn it. I'm just going to bring this to a phone repair shop tomorrow." Mina cursed as she took out her phone from her pocket.
"She called me 'Minguin' again." Mina blushed.
[...]
"Seokmin-ah. Isn't it too late?" Chaeyoung approached her cousin.
"What are you doing?"
"What?" Chaeyoung became confused.
"Why are you sticking with Mina these days? Are you confusing her feelings towards me? Are you trying to steal her from me? Do you still like her?" Seokmin can feel himself like he's about to explode.
"Nayeon told me to pick her up, but when I arrived, she's already gone. I suppose you picked her up."
"Yeah, I did. Sana told me."
"Unbelievable." Seokmin scoffed.
"But you misunderstood it." Chaeyoung paused.
"Yeah, I still do like her." Chaeyoung stepped forward towards her cousin.
"But I'm not sticking with her just to steal her away from you, just like what I said. I'm just doing that to at least spend my last days with the person I love." She smiled.
"“Last days”?"
"Oh, sorry. I didn't meant to make it sound like I was dying," she laughed. "Well actually, I'm leaving in two days."
Seokmin just went silent. He kind of feel embarrassed right now, but he was happy because she won't finally worry about her cousin.
"Then. I'm leaving. I'm really tired right now." Chaeyoung turned around and started walking away.
"Oh," she paused and faced her cousin once again. "What do you mean steal her away from you? She's not even yours to start with." Chaeyoung smirked and finally left.
"That was satisfying." She thought.
As for Seokmin, embarrassed is an understatement. He felt humiliated.
