Yena's POV
***PRESENT TIME***
I took a day off on the day when my puppy released her pre-debut official music clip. That is the day where I was about to go to Hyewon and give her a big punch on her face but then when I was already in front of her, I retreated. So yeah, I didn't punch her.
It's been three days since my day off and I'm still not showing up on Entertainment. Eunbi unnie, Chaeyeon and Chaewon kept calling me but I didn't answer. I am just here, at my house, locking up myself. Yes, it's not an apartment. It's a house. The apartment that my brother talked about is a little lie? Because I really am living in my studio. This house was located in Gwangju, 268 km away from Seoul. It's unusual for me to stay here that long since I am more used to my apartment and the studio than here. Yeah, the apartment that my brother is talking to is in Seoul. I thought being here in my house would drive me crazy but it didn't. It gives me some space, I mean it's like it gives me a rest? Something like that. I am going here once a month because this is so far from Seoul and far from my work. I just go here just to clean this house, that's all.
I am in the living room right now, playing Fortnite on the computer. I am in the middle of playing when...
"What the f*ck?!" The computer suddenly shuts down.
I saw a girl's reflection on the computer. I sighed and removed my headphones.
"Yah, Kim Minju," I faced her.
"Unnie, the three will burn you alive if you will not answer their call!" She sounds like she is scolding me.
"Are you done shooting your drama?" I asked, trying to change the topic.
"How can I shoot my drama if I am here?" She asked back.
"Ah, do you want me to take you to your shooting location?"
Minju closed her eyes and shuffled her hair.
She always do that when she is frustrated.
I stand up.
"I am just healing myself. I'll go back to the Entertainment tomorrow." I passed her and went to the kitchen.
I'm hungry.
"Healing? Are you sick?" I heard Minju's voice at my back.
I search for some chips in the drawer.
"No." I answered shortly and continued to search for some chips.
Did I buy some food yesterday?
I heard her deep sigh.
"Is this about Yuri?"
I stopped from searching when I heard her question.
"So it's about her?"
"Aniya, it's not about her." I searched again.
Why did I can't see a f*cking chips?!
I sighed.
Why did I even get angry at the chips?
I looked at her.
"You knew Hyewon right? Punch her for me." Then I left her in the kitchen.
I go straight to my room and lock the door. I flopped down to my bed.
It keeps on bothering me. Why did Hyewon cheat on my puppy? Or maybe she is not? What if they are just friends? But are there friends that kiss each other's cheeks?!
"Stinky radish and I never kiss each other's cheeks though."
Well, if I kissed Chaewon's cheek then I am giving her false hope.
"What if I do it in Eunbi unnie?"
Nah, she will punch me.
"How about Chaeyeon?"
Chaeyeon will think that I like her, yuck.
"There's one person left." I get up from my bed.
"Minmin!" I hurriedly got out of my room.
I ran downstairs, hoping that Minju would still be there. As I reached the living room, I saw a frog talking to someone on her phone. She looks at me.
"I'll just convince her, bye." She removed her phone from her ear.
"Minmin, can I do something to you?"
"What is it, unnie?"
I move closer to her and... *chup*. Minju immediately pushed me away.
"WHAT THE HECK UNNIE!!" She starts to wipe her cheek that I kissed using her hands.
"WHY DID YOU KISS ME?!" She keeps on wiping her cheek.
Why did Hyewon didn't react like that when the girl kissed her cheek?
I scratch my head on that thought.
"ARE YOU A PERVERT?!"
"I'm not a pervert!" I shouted back at her.
Why did Hyewon not think that the girl is a pervert?
Minju still didn't stop wiping her cheek.
Maybe, Hyewon is really cheating on my puppy.
Minju's phone rang and she answered it.
"Unnie, Yena unnie kissed my cheek." She starts to sulk to the phone.
"Ey," I was about to approach her when she backed away.
"D.O.N.T go near me, unnie!"
Did she just yell at me?
"Don't overreact! I just kiss your cheek, not your lips!" I walked out and went back to my room.
As if I would kiss her lips, ew!
I cringe at the thought of that.
Well, if it is my puppy then... No, no, no! I'm not a pervert!
I sighed and went towards my piano. Yeah, I have a piano in my room. I sit at the piano chair and start to move my fingers on the keyboard of the piano. There is a song that I always play when I want to calm down.
I was about to play another song when I heard the door open. I immediately turned around and there, I saw a frog invading my room!
"Yah!" I stood up and approached her hurriedly.
"No one is allowed to enter my room except me!" I pushed her out of my room. I closed the door and looked at her.
"What do you want?!" I asked directly.
"Go with me."
"Where?"
"In my shooting location."
I sighed.
"I haven't taken a bath yet."
"I'll wait for you downstairs." She turned her back to me and proceeded to go downstairs.
Is she not late for her shooting or are they planning something?
**************************************
I don't know where we are going since Minju is the one who was driving. And of course she will really drive because this is her car.
"Where are we really going?" I asked.
I am not convinced that we were going to her shooting location because I heard her earlier while talking to her phone. Whoever it is among the three, they are up to something.
"I already told you, in my shooting location."
"Did you think that I am buying that?"
She looks at me then back at the road.
"Unnie, I canceled my filming today just for this day."
"Ey, why did you cancel your---"
"For you, unnie." She cut me off.
They keep on adjusting for me.
I sighed.
"I am fine Minmin." I said after sighing.
"Don't tell me those kinds of words." She sounds like she is mad or something?
After that, we didn't talk. We didn't talk for 3 hours and 37 minutes. Hell yeah, that's long because she brought me to Gang-wondo.
For goodness sake, have they gone mad?!
"Minju, I will drive."
"No, unnie. You don't---"
"Then make your car drive itself."
She was about to speak when I preceded her.
"Your car is a self-driving car, Minju. I know you are tired because you drive for 3 hours and 37 minutes and are still driving. If you just tap where you are going in this screen," I point to the rectangle screen between two aircons.
"Then you will have at least a short rest." I finished.
I heard her sigh.
"Unnie---" She was cut off when her phone suddenly rang. She was about to get her airpods and answer the call since it was connected in her car when I answered it.
"Minju, are you with her?" We both heard her voice since it was connected to her car.
I know who this is.
Minju glanced at me before answering.
"Yes, unnie. We are on our way now."
"Are you still in Gwangju?"
"No, unnie. We just entered Gangwon-do."
I heard her hummed in the other line.
"I'm hanging up now. Be careful." Then she ended the call.
"Tell me Minju, what are you guys thinking?" I looked at her seriously.
She glanced at me and sighs.
"A vacation with you." She answered before looking back at the road.
I sighed while massaging my temple.
"You know that I hate these kinds of things." I said, trying to calm my nerves.
I do want to spend time with them but I don't want them to sacrifice for me.
"Unnie---"
"Stop the car." I said coldly.
"Yena u--"
"Stop the car, Kim Minju."
She sighed and had no choice but to stop the car on the side of the road. She looks at me after pulling up the handbrake.
"Unnie, please---"
"Where are we going?" I cut her off again for the 3rd time.
"To Yonghwa Beach." She said in defeat.
I tap the button where it will put her car on a self driving mode. I tap our route on the map.
The hell? We will still travel for 2 hours and 16 minutes for goodness sake.
"You are wasting your time." I shake my head.
Minju's car starts to move. She is still on the driver's seat but she is not driving anymore.
I got my phone and dialed Chaewon. Yes, Chaewon is the one who called her earlier. It takes three rings before she answered.
"Yah, what are you guys planning?"
I heard her sigh from the other line.
"Didn't you say you are healing? Then we are coming with you." She responded.
"Stinky radish, you know me. Also, you guys have a wo---"
"We can take a day off too, Choi Yena."
"Don't scare me with your cold voice Kwon Eunbi. You know me, I don't want to---"
"Then tell us what your problem is. You never take a day off in your 4 years and 6 months of working in KWON." She cut me off.
Oh, here we go again.
"Whatever, I know that I will not win with you in this." I ended the call.
I let out a deep sigh and rested my body on the chair.
I hate this situation.
"Unnie," Minju suddenly held my hand.
"Tell me what it is. Maybe, I can help you." She said.
I looked at her and I could see in her eyes how worried she was. I gave her a smile then shook my head.
"Minju, it's nothing." I hold her hand too.
"Unnie, if this is about Yuri, then I can help you. Just don't be like this." She squeezed my hand a little.
I shake my head again.
"Minju, this is not about Yuri. This is about myself." I said before looking at the window.
"My temper is getting shorter than usual." I chuckled.
"I even punched someone out of nowhere." I added.
"..."
Silence.... Silence prevailed between us.
Why did I need to see those things? Kang Hyewon, why are you cheating on your girlfriend? What did Yuri do to you for you to cheat on her? I can't understand. Yuri is a perfect girl.
I rest my head on the window.
Why did I even become affected with this? Yuri and I weren't even close.
"Why did loving you hurt this much, Yuri?"
