MINA
I sat up and yawned. My eyes were blurry so I couldn't tell where I was. "Chaeyoung?"
I patted the whole couch. "Chaeyoung where are you" my eyes cleared up. She was no where.
"Hello?"
I got up and walked to a door. I could here a shower running. I knocked on the door hopping Chaeyoung would be in there.
"Hello?"
"Oh hi! Sorry I couldn't here you. I'll be out in a second." Moonbyul not Chaeyoung.
"Hey where's Chaeyoung?"
"Um. Here give me a second. I'll be right out. Go get Solar in the other room" where the hell was Chaeyoung? My heart snuck. Is she gone.
No. I can't lose her again. No. Please no.
I walked a couple more feet down and knocked on the door. "Solar?"
"Oh shoot. Yeah I'm coming." She opened the door and hugged me. "Stop"
"What?"
"Where's Chaeyoung."
"We have to talk about that." No. She's not gone. She said she'd never leave me again.
"She promised!"
"Woah clam down Mina." Moonbyul put her arm around my shoulders and walked me back to the kitchen. "No. This is serious. She left!?"
"Yes. Let me explain Mina" moonbyul made me sit. Solar collected her thoughts.
"Ok. Last night when you were sleeping. Chaeyoung was restless. She was on and off crying. I didn't know what to do so she eventually left your side and came to me. She told me to keep you here no matter what. She's doing the right thing"
"No she's not! She can't leave without telling me! I'll never see her again. My fathers going to be here any second! Why did you let her go!"
Tears flooded my vision. Moonbyul tried to comfort me. I pushed her away and just cried. Why would she leave me. My father would never change his ways. There was no way out of this vicious cycle. I just wanted to be free.
"Hey it's ok. I know she'll be back" I shook my head. "No she won't."
"Yes She will perfume girl" I looked up. No.
"Chaeyoung!"
A stood up and ran as fast as I could into her arms. "H-how how did you make it back"
"I just said the right things. Let's go catch the fastest plan back home."
"This isn't real Chaeyoung...really!"
"Yes really! Turn around though." I turned and saw both moonbyul and solar with arms open for hugs. I ran to each of them and they squeezed me hard. Moonbyul handed me a paper. "If your ever back in japan just call us. We'll always be here if you wanna hang out"
"Thank you guys." Chaeyoung took my hand. "Let's get the hell out of here"

CHAEYOUNG
Back in Korea all of are friends got together and we all spent hours and hours talking.
Everything was finally back to normal.
Mina was right next to me happy. Actually next to me. I laid my head on her shoulder.
"Minari~"
"Mm?"
"I love you" her cheeks turned read. "I love you too."

MINA
I was so excited to be with Chaeyoung again. I felt at peace.
Chaeyoung was feeling anxious about her father. Turns out he was just having a party that day of are call. He opened the door and his jaw could have touched the floor. Instead of hugging Chaeyoung he went right to me. "I have a surprise girls"
We followed him into the house.
Chaeyoungs room was completely changed. All of my clothes from Japan. How did he?
"Oh my god."
Chaeyoung ran around. "This is awesome!" I followed her until I saw a note.
To Mina from mom~
Mina I'm sorry. I'm sorry for ever forcing you to do stuff that would make you unhappy. I know my words will not change anything but I hope my actions can. I made sure to send everything you love to Chaeyoungs house. You were right. She really is a nice girl. I want to accept you for you. Your father has always kept me quite with his money because if I didn't have it I wouldn't of been able to take care of you in Korea for all those years. I hope that I can make your father forgive you and learn to love you but I don't know how long that will take so Go be free. Forget about us and live your most happiest life because we weren't able to give that to you. I love you mina and you father does as well.
Ps: check under the pillow for something special, grab it and start your new life.
Chaeyoung looked up from the letter at me. I smiled at her and pointed at the pillow. "Do want to get it?"
"I don't know. It could be something scary you do it."
I tiptoed over to the pillow and lifted it slowly. "Mina do it already. I'm scared." She moved back.
A perfume bottle. Something was under it.
My anxiety picked up. "Umm. A perfume bottle" Chaeyoung ran over. "Haha, I can finally steal that from you. Awesome. Anything else?"
————
Mina got down on one knee. Chaeyoungs eyes widened she knew exactly what was happening. "Mina! No way!"
Mina was already crying at what she was about to do. Her hand slowly came up.
A beautiful shiny ring. Chaeyoung started to cry. Everything she had been through lead to this moment. The moment that would keep Mina next to her forever.
"Chaeyoung be mine forever. Will you marry me?" Chaeyoung nodded and rapped her arms round Mina. She cried and cried.
"Mina. I love you. This isn't real"
"I wasn't expecting this either." Mina giggled at Chaeyoung who's shaky hand was now waiting for a ring to be put on. Mina wiggled the ring on her finger until it reached the end. "I love you Chaeyoung. Thank you for saving me"
"Thank you for changing my life forever purfume girl. Let's go my dad said there's a strawberry platter Waiting for us downstairs. We can share the news!"
"You look like a mess. Your make up"
"I'm your mess. Come on!"
