i will take good care of you | mina x chaeyoung

pairing: mina x chaeyoung genre: fluff warning/tags: au, stablished relationship, domestic girlfriends w/c: 3.1 k a/n: i’m back with more fluff but i promise you i’m trying new things. sorry in advance for the mistakes you might find because english is not my first language but especially because it’s 7 am and i haven’t slept ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -｡꒱ྀི১. i’m still surprised by the response the first thing i’ve ever posted got, so i’ll be happy if this one receives half as much love as that one did. feel free to leave any comments, feedback, suggestions or requests 🤍

After Chaeyoung hadn't stopped sneezing and blowing her nose since she arrived soaking wet from the rain the previous afternoon, they decided that canceling their Sunday date would be the best option. Their visit to the botanical park has now been replaced by a day at home watching movies. The exam period is coming, so it was reasonable to make Chaeyoung stay at home so she doesn’t get worse. It takes them some time to decide, as the younger one felt guilty because they had already bought tickets, but Mina manages to convince her girlfriend to stay on the couch with a blanket, tea and a box of tissues beside her while she goes out to buy medicine, her favorite snacks and some ingredients to make miso soup.

"I'll take good care of you" is the last thing she says before kissing Chaeyoung’s lips and leaving the apartment.

She would be lying if she said she isn’t surprised to see that when she's back in their apartment, her girlfriend is still in the same place where she left her half an hour ago, only now she has a book in her hand instead of the mug of tea that now sits empty on the living room table. As Chaeyoung focuses on her book, she places everything she got in the kitchen and grabs her Nintendo to continue building and decorating her Animal Crossing island on the other side of the couch. Moments like this are the favorites for both of them, they just need each other's company as they spend time enjoying their hobbies in a comfortable silence.

They are both introverts who enjoy spending time at home playing video games, reading, drawing,writing, assembling Lego sets or watching movies. It's something they've always enjoyed separately, and since Chaeyoung accepted Mina's proposal to move into her apartment, it's become something they do together. Now, across the room, across the couch or using the other Nintendo Switch controller, they have someone with whom they share playful glances, smiles, exchange thoughts, talk about their days at work or college, about lives or share their problems. In moments like these, they just need to feel each other's presence. For them to be in silence doing their own thing while intertwining their legs under the blanket doesn't feel much different from a date outside in a nice place.

It's these things that make Mina wonder if they'll always feel this way or if it's a passing thing that will end when she gets used to living with Chae. Meanwhile, on the other side of the couch, Chaeyoung underlines the sentences in the book that remind her of Mina and thinks that she stay in this moment all her life without ever getting tired of seeing Mina in front of her focus on her videogames with the tip of her tongue sticking out, concentrating on the game, just like she does when she cooks a new recipe or when she prepares some presentation for work.

An hour later, Chae puts the book away, takes off her glasses and holds the bridge of her nose with two fingers "I can't focus, I have a headache" she complains, making Mina sit up immediately "Let me get you a glass of water so you can take a painkiller". Chaeyoung gestures for her to get back to sit with her. "Don't worry, I think I just need to get some sleep" she says as her girlfriend looks at her with a doubtful face "I promise I'll take it if my headache doesn't go away" she replies, earning an indulgent smile from Mina.

As soon as her girlfriend falls asleep on the couch she goes to the kitchen to make some miso soup, lunch for both of them and looks up movie recommendations on her phone while waiting for the water to start boiling. And of course, tea is a must.

It seems that sleep was good for Chae because when she wakes up, she seems to be in a better mood and even a bit more talkative, so they spend lunch talking about what movie they should watch. When they’re done, Mina takes care of clearing the table and cleaning the dishes despite Chaeyoung's refusal when her girlfriend tells her to brush her teeth and go back to the couch.

"Mina-chan!" she whines. "It's just a cold, don't treat me like I'm dying. Let me help you."

"Your exams are coming up and you and I both know that if you get sick now, you'll only be more anxious because you won't be able to do as much as you'd like. At least one of us has to be responsible" Mina says, giving her a scolding look, and Chaeyoung has no choice but to nod her head and follow her directions.

Mina doesn't have to explain herself for her girlfriend to get the message since the cold is due more to Chaeyoung being careless than to the sudden rain of the previous day. In the morning, when the gray clouds covered the Seoul sky and didn't let even a ray of sunshine show, they both commented that good rains were on the way and they hoped that at least it wouldn't be so heavy as to spoil their Sunday date. Exactly that date in which both should now be holding hands, smelling the fragrance of the flowers and taking a thousand photos and maybe, in the case of the art student, doing some sketches or drawings. And despite this, and despite Mina's recommendations, Chaeyoung decided to go out without an umbrella, arguing that her new raincoat would be more than enough and that, unlike the umbrella, it would not ruin her outfit. But in case that hadn’t been enough, for when she arrived completely wet down to her socks and even clothes under her raincoat when Mina reprimanded her for not having listened to her, the younger girl explained that in fact it wasn’t because she wasn’t carrying an umbrella but because she, Dahyun and Tzuyu decided to run and dance in the rain when they left the library after an intense studying session.

Knowing that her girlfriend's two best friends were involved, she wasn’t surprised by what happened. Separately, Tzuyu and Chaeyoung are quite quiet, introverted and they rather go unnoticed, but if they get together with Dahyun nothing good can happen. Apparently in one of their classes this week, a teacher lectured them about youth, art and living life, which inspired them enough for them to spend at least an hour in the rain several days later in the middle of a storm.

Considering what happened, she wasn't going to take Mina's point away, but that's not going to stop her from complaining. "Oh come on, it's a silly cold" she snorts and before she can continue speaking, she sneezes so hard that her glasses fall off. "Okay, but don't take long" she relents.

When the dishes are clean, dry and in place, Mina returns to her side of the couch and gets ready to watch the movie, but she doesn't put it on, so she looks away from the TV and when she turns her head, she meets the huge expressive eyes of her girlfriend, who looks at her like a like a kicked puppy. She laughs softly and shifts her posture to lie down behind her and be the big spoon. It’s then when her girlfriend considers pressing the play button.

Only ten minutes pass until Chaeyoung says "The movie was recommended by Nayeon-unnie, it's probably good. I didn't know she studied film in college" she says, to which Mina simply hums as she concentrates on what the characters are saying and what the subtitles say, as there are parts in Japanese that she doesn't want her girlfriend to miss. Occasionally, Mina whispers in her ear some of the lines or words that she feels are oversimplified in the subtitles, but it's still Chae who keeps talking the whole time. She describes what happened in the scene as if they weren't watching the same thing, comments on how neat the costumes are, talks about how beautiful she thinks the composition is, suddenly switches to the Japanese occupation in which the story is set, asks about something she doesn't have time to read, laughs when she realizes that just like the protagonists, one of them is Korean and the other one is Japanese, she then clarifies that in this case it is the Korean who has to learn Japanese... and Mina starts to be slightly annoyed.

She’s a person who enjoys silence and is easily overwhelmed by too much noise or loud voices, like when they get together with their other seven friends and there are a lot of conversations going on at the same time. She knows it's something she needs to keep working on, but if anything, a red line for her is people talking while watching series or movies. Just like her beloved girlfriend is doing right now, who doesn't seem to pick up on the little interest her rambling receives, being answered only with monosyllables, short sentences and humming. They have been watching the movie for a while now and she’s squirming in her seat because of the discomfort and her urge to say or do something about it. her urge to get it over with is interrupted when she remembers that the girl in her arms is sick and what she needs right now is more care, the least she can do is listen to her thoughts and concerns. Even if she has decided to share them right while they are watching a movie in each other's arms.

Just when the scene in which the protagonists share a moment of intimacy comes and takes Mina's breath away, Chaeyoung speaks and it takes all of Mina’s will to restrain herself and take a deep breath until she hears what her girlfriend has to say now. "Mina-chan, don't move away; it's cold."

And that's when Mina puts all the pieces together and moves her hand to her girlfriend's forehead. As expected, it's quite warm compared to hers and then she leans down to place her lips on her girlfriend's forehead, who without quite knowing what Mina's intentions are, smiles in anticipation of a kiss on her forehead. "Baby, you have a fever" she says softly. "Pause the movie. I'll get the thermometer and some medicine." That's certainly not what Chae, who now had her eyes closed ready to receive the next kiss on her lips, expected to hear. Mina can't help but laugh at the sight before her, but she quickly gets up to get everything she needs from the kitchen and bathroom. After a year of dating her, she should know better.

Luckily, there haven't been many times when one has had to take care of the other while they were sick, but enough times that Mina knows that Chaeyoung starts talking non-stop when her fever starts to rise. It's something that will always make her giggle, it's an odd trait that she finds adorable. "Was I talking that much?" Chae aks to her girlfriend, realizing what's going on, to which Mina nods and chuckles. "I was about to lose it" admits the older one, making her girlfriend blush. "Sorry, I didn't realize" she apologizes and Mina shakes her head as she gets up to grab the thermometer and a couple of other things.

"Here" she says as she returns with the thermometer the box of pills, a sachet of vitamins and a glass of water. "You should uncover for a while, Chaeyoungnie" she says, using a soft voice as she tries to take the blanket she is wrapped in, but her girlfriend grabs it and looks at her with a pout "But I'm so cold". Mina laughs softly "Yesterday you didn't seem to be bothered by the cold, come on, let’s get the thermometer on you".

Mina wasn't mistaken, the thermometer after five minutes reads 39°C, and the first thing she does is pull the blanket aside this time for real and go get a towel. After taking the medicine, they play the movie back on and now that Chae is starting to feel worse, it’s no longer being interrupted by her ramblings, but by all the times Mina has to get up from the couch to re-wet the towel, until she checks her temperature again and it has dropped a few tenths of a degree. Before the movie is over, Chaeyoung falls asleep. She has replaced the blankets with her girlfriend and now is curled up resting her head in the crook of her neck, she warms her hands under the older one's t-shirt and has one of her legs between hers. Mina, now unable to move and not knowing where the remote is, ends up watching the movie alone until the last word of the credits because she finds it impossible to wake her girlfriend when she is sleeping peacefully in her arms.

Fifteen minutes have passed — maybe thirty or an hour — at this point she doesn't even know and she decides it's time to go to bed. She carefully separates her body from her girlfriend's and whispers sweet nothings, trying to wake her up. "Chaeyoungnie, let's go to bed" she whispers for the tenth time and this time she finally gets a "Hmm?" but nothing else, so she decides to take charge of the situation and gets up to pick up her girlfriend until she sees the restrained smile on her face that ends up giving her away. "You're awake! Come on, let's go to bed." Chaeyoung shakes her head and uses her sick privilege, and those eyes with which she gets anything from Mina, and asks her to carry her to their bed.

It doesn't take long for them to fall asleep, but at some ungodly hour of the night, the younger one doesn't stop moving and shivering, thus waking up the older one. Still asleep, with her eyes half open and the dim light coming through the window, she gropes her girlfriend's forehead to check her temperature and when she notices the hairs of her bangs soaked in sweat, she sits up right away and looks again for the thermometer and the towel. This time it reaches 40°C so she immediately uncovers her and places the towel on her forehead, also cooling her face and neck down making her shiver and whimper. "Mina-chan?" she asks with her eyes closed as she doesn’t have enough energy to open them. "I'm here. Your fever is up again, but don't worry. Try to sleep; I'll take care of you" she reassures her and when she sees her weakly nod her head, she caresses her face gently and runs her fingers through Chaeyoung's sweaty hair.

That's how she spent the rest of the night, cuddling her girlfriend, wetting the towel with cold water from time to time and checking the temperature, which didn’t drop below 38ºC all night long. Between one thing and another, she has had time to drink two coffees and has taken the laptop to get ahead of work, knowing that it is best to spend the day with her in case she has to take her to the doctor. When dawn breaks, Mina writes an email to her company informing them she won’t be able to attend work today, she presses enter and listens to the beep of the thermometer, checking that the temperature has finally dropped. She places the laptop on her bedside table, takes off her glasses, deactivates the alarm on her phone and finally lets herself fall asleep.

The sun finishes rising, illuminating the entire room, this time it is Chaeyoung who wakes up. Beside her, she finds her girlfriend with noticeable bags under her eyes, her glasses and laptop beside her just like when she suffers from insomnia. This time, she’s also holding the towel with which she has been using on her forehead all night long. Although the image melts Chaeyoung's heart, she can't help but feel a pang of guilt at the thought that her girlfriend has had to spend the night awake taking care of her because of her poor choices. Soon, the guilt is replaced by the warmth she feels in her chest as she looks at her girlfriend, thinking how grateful and loved she is. After a year together, she still finds it hard to believe that a person like Mina is in love. And not only in love but willing to love her even more with the hairs of her bangs sticking to her forehead from the cold sweat of fever, or like that time when, after finishing her sculpture project, she suffered a contracture and had to help her bathe for five days, or when she drank so much with her unnies that she spent half the night vomiting with her head stuck in the toilet while Mina held her hair and just like today, she then prepared miso soup for her on each of those occasions. According to her, it works to cure everything.

With a smile on her lips, she carefully strokes Mina's hair and covers her with the blanket as she feels her cold skin making her wake up. "Take the medicine. I'll make you some breakfast in a little while, give me five minutes" she hears her say in her newly awake voice. And, unlike the day before, Chae accepts the offer as she feels she doesn't have enough strength to stand for more than five minutes.

True to her word, in less than fifteen minutes, Mina enters the room with a bowl of miso soup. "Thank you, Mina-chan" she says as she picks it up and places it on the nightstand to cool down a bit. "No problem. I made it yesterday, I just warmed it up" she shrugs as the other shakes her head. "It's not about the soup, it's about everything. Thank you for taking care of me and loving me so well. I love you" she clarifies, earning a smile from the girl in front of her. One of those gummy smiles that makes her eyes practically disappear. She says nothing, simply caresses her cheek and reaches up, seeking a kiss from her girlfriend, who, instead of joining her lips with her whispers "You're going to get sick" by way of warning, a warning they are both willing to ignore. "That's not going to stop me. I can't think of a better plan than spending anothers day at home with you instead of going to work. Besides, what was that thing your teacher said for you to end up in the rain... Live, feel, eat, love, laugh, travel and kiss without thinking about tomorrow?" She teases her girlfriend again about the rain incident and Chaeyoung nods her head before kissing Mina. "I guess I'll have to take good care of you" she whispers against her lips.

Reader x Chaeyoung - Brave Enough

Happy (Future) Halloween Readers!

A Halloween Oneshot of Chaeyoung of fluff and terror just for this year.

I know the cover gif is not Halloween, but that's the best I could find of Chaeyoung's nervous face that I could picture her to act like all brave like, but then nervous. I know she's playing, but pretend.

Bound to make mistakes in this one so feel free to correct your dumb author.

Also, I'm no horror writer. I can't do horror scenes well, so this might be a bad chapter for those expecting something super scary.

Also none of these images are mine.

Sorry T-T, BUT ENJOY!

Word Count: 10200 exactly.

----------------------------------------------

Halloween.

The night of scares and candy.

The night of people dressing up.

The night of parties going off.

The night of where Son Chaeyoung might think it's her last.

Rather than going out with her friends, asking for candy from strangers, she and her friends were heading towards a haunted mansion in an amusement park.

It was opened the week of Halloween and you all decided to come here...yes even Chaeyoung herself. Why? We'll get to that.

She was holding her composure hard, because right now...

SCREECH

Violently swung yet again against the side of the SUV, Chaeyoung braced her body and the same familiar jangling of chains and creak of wood rings through the speakers as Kim Dahyun lets out a lengthy groan in the passenger seat.

"Are you kidding me Jihyo?" comes Minatozaki Sana's voice from the back seat behind Chaeyoung.

"Hey, if it gets you to stop making out with Tzuyu back there I'll play it as many times and as loud as I want." Park Jihyo quips from the driver seat, and Chaeyoung catches a flash of Jihyo's smug grin in the rearview mirror before she swings the van around another corner into the parking lot, crushing her into Myoui Mina's side on her right as Mina held onto the seatbelt for dear life.

"I'm surprised your driving didn't kill us on the way here. It's scarier than anything we're going to experience tonight," Chou Tzuyu says dryly, as Jihyo slams the brakes on so dramatically there's a small metallic squeal before they jerk to a halt due to a red light, making everyone lean forward and complain to her.

"Jihyo!" "My neck..."

Jihyo had a smug grin.

———————————

Timeskip

After a few sharp turns and a decent smooth drive...

"We're here. Happy?" Jihyo spoke loudly.

Dahyun jerked the door open and jumping out into the cold evening air with an exaggerated sigh of relief and a yell of "Thank you god!" as Jihyo glared at her.

"Alright~ ready to get scared Tzu~" Sana asked her girlfriend as Tzuyu shrugged.

"We'll see."

"Oh I wouldn't be so sure Tzu," Jihyo retorts, throwing her scarf from her glove compartment and zipping her up to her chin. "This place is supposed to terrify you."

"Yeah right." Tzuyu retorted.

"Don't worry Tzu~ I'll keep you safe~" Sana spoke in a childlike tone as she grabbed onto the arms of the tall one, and Chaeyoung can't suppress a slight shiver at the word 'terrify'.

Mina noticed, putting a gentle hand on her shoulder. "You're still sure about coming in?" she asks softly.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"You really sure?" Sana asked as Chaeyoung nodded.

"You can just stay in here with the heating running and music that isn't Jihyo's terrible Halloween playlist." Tzuyu gave her the option.

"This is a fantastic Halloween playlist Tzuyu!" Jihyo snaps, apparently hearing despite having already gotten out of the car, bouncing around in a mixture of excitement and an attempt to stay warm.

Briefly clasping Mina's hand, Chaeyoung nods and says, "I'll be fine. I'll just stick to you girls."

"Chae I'm still surprised that you're even coming along, I thought you didn't like spooky stuff?" Mina talked alongside Chaeyoung as both left the car as well with Chaeyoung looking at her.

"I'll endure it. Besides, I'll just have my eyes closed and headphones on as we all walk together. Plus I think I'm getting better at not being scared so eas-"

"BOO!"

"EEK!" Chaeyoung yelped a bit as Mina yelled out and grabbed the smaller girl's shoulder.

"Hehe..." Mina covered her mouth as she giggled as Chaeyoung pouted and glared at Mina.

"MINA!" Chaeyoung pounded Mina's shoulder like a little girl as she chuckled at Chaeyoung's panic attack.

Mina and Chaeyoung were still ahead of the four others as they walked towards the entrance of this amusement park.

"Sorry Chae, had to test you if you're ready." Mina spoke up as Chaeyoung stopped her attack and sighed looking forward.

"Whatever... so maybe I'm a little scared...but then we're off to Sana's place with just us ten." Mina nodded.

Chaeyoung nodded as they walked a few steps, but Mina stared at Chae with a frown.

"Well you still have time to back out Chae."

"No. I'm ready. Besides it's just some stupid people in costumes...what can go wrong?" She asked as Mina smiled.

"Hey girls!" Chaeyoung turned her head towards the voice.

She saw her bunny looking friend waving at them along with three others.

Im Nayeon, Yoo Jeongyeon, and Hirai Momo were waving her hand at the group. But there was a fourth.

A boy/girl was standing there with them at the far right waving their arm as well.

That's when she felt more at ease at the sight of you.

(LN) (YN)

This is the real reason why she agreed to this.

This is why poor nervous Chaeyoung agreed to come.

Because of you.

Her best friend of the group...and her major major crush.

The one who Chaeyoung had a liking to since a year ago, since you moved across the street from her home.

After an introduction with her new neighbor, Chaeyoung found you very handsome/beautiful and was intruded to being friends with you as you both got to learn more about each other.

Once you told her about your school, Chaeyoung was glad to hear you coming to the same one she and her friends were in and asked if you wanted to be a part of it, of course, if you wanted too that is.

You gave it a shot and after a day of introduction and getting to learn their names, you now have a...interesting set of freinds, but you wouldn't have it any other way now.

You and Chaeyoung were the best of friends in the group of course and while she was fine with that, Chaeyoung wanted more than that.

No one knows about her crush on you.

She had wanted to ask you out, but something always got in the way whenever she mustered up the courage to ask.

One of their friends, a random stranger, something, anything, always came by just as she was opening her lips to ask you that burning question.

She cursed her traitorous heart for still harboring feelings for you after all these two years and not letting it out. She thought maybe it was fate telling her not to do anything, but she still pestered about it.

Why had she been a fool and fallen in love with the giant idiot who can't see her affections for you? Why could she never see reason and let you go?

She never could find an answer...nor did she ever wanted to.

So when she heard of you wanting to come here to this amusement park with the main attraction was the mansion, each and every one of the group nodded and not wanting to be the only one out, Chaeyoung went as well.

The only problem was that Chaeyoung wasn't the bravest when it came to scary things.

So for her to come here on her own free will was a bit shocking to the group, even you, but she said that she wanted to do this one time and get it over with and hang out with her friends too.

Not a total lie but the group bought it and were happy that she was to come with.

Along the time though, she thought of something else and she made a promise to herself.

Tonight.

Tonight Chaeyoung planned on telling you her feelings.

She figured that if she was brave enough to do this, then she could be brave enough to tell you her feelings.

A totally dumb reason and thought, but she couldn't take it any longer. So tonight, if she goes through it all, she'll tell you, flat out.

If not...well...she didn't have anything for that.

But even now when they stood together in the group, and upon thinking about the contents inside, Chaeyoung felt her courage starting to waver.

But one look at you and your smile made Chaeyoung eased some of that nervousness rising in her gut.

Heck just being near you made feel that.

"Hey girls." You spoke up as each girl nodded, waved or replied back. You looked right at Chaeyoung. "Hey Chae." You waved at her as she smiled and waved back to you.

"Chae you'll be alright yeah?" Jeongyeon asked as Chaeyoung nodded.

"Yes I'll be fine, don't you worry." She spoke up for everyone to hear.

"Until you see a clown~" You teased as Chaeyoung's gaze halted and whipped towards you.

You knew she was terrified of the painted people.

"Look whose talking. You cower at the sight of a spider." Chaeyoung shot back, stepping towards you and pressing her pointer finger into your chest.

"Hey those things are dangerous, tiny and can get anywhere they want. No way that's scarier than clowns." You pointed outback as you grabbed her hand pointing at you, which made Chaeyoung shook a bit. "Clowns are just people in makeup anyway."

"That's what makes it scary pabo!"

"And spiders aren't?"

"Now, now, relax you two." Jihyo frowned, her arms crossing over her chest.

"And here we go again." Nayeon spoke up.

"They could be a little less noisy." Tzuyu said.

"Eh, if it gets to be too much we'll just all pretend we don't know them." Momo spoke up.

"You know we're both right here!" You both scowled at their group of friends as each one giggled at your outburst causing you both to laugh as well.

To Chaeyoung, your laughter would make her smile any day no matter what she was feeling and she sure was feeling it now.

"Alright, let's go before the line gets any getting longer." Jihyo being the leader of the group pointed out as everyone nodded.

"Hai!" "Ne!"

And so the group went off to join the line forming up to enter the amusement park with you and Chae walking alongside one another.

"Hey Chae."

You spoke up as Chaeyoung looked to you.

"I just wanted to say, I think it's cool that you're here. I know you don't like horror stuff, but I'm happy that you're here." You flashed a smile at her as Chaeyoung smiled back.

That's...that's why Chaeyoung came.

"Yeah, me too (YN)."

"And I know I was teasing you there, but don't worry okay, I'll be there to make sure nothing will happen."

After hearing what you said, she wouldn't dare back out now. Chaeyoung shook her head.

"Okay (YN). Thank you." She was determined as you smiled.

"And sorry for the tease Chae, but if there are any clowns in there, I'll get them for you." You simply said up as Chaeyoung's heart skipped at your concern for her. A joke, but she couldn't help it.

Chaeyoung had a scare moment when she was younger attending a fair. A clown appeared right in front of her and it scared her since then. Even now, Chaeyoung panicked really quickly at and any sight of clowns was just too much for her.

Upon learning, you told your fear of spiders and Chaeyoung was a bit happy to know you were trying to lift her up.

"I'm sorry too and if there is some giant spider...then we'll scream together." She joked as you laughed.

"That we will." You said as you ten went inside the amusement park.

-------------------------------

Now, inside the park and rather than going on any other ride, they figured to do this first and then enjoy the rest of the night as they all were in a long line for this place.

Nearing the very front of the line to head inside this giant castle/mansion that screamed Halloween terror, Chaeyoung gulped at the sheer things of what could be inside.

"You okay?" You asked as Chaeyoung nodded.

"Yeah. This place is huge though." She asked back as you nodded.

"This atrraction is what makes people come here during this time. Not alot of scary attractions here so they decided to make this one. It got great reception and they expanded. Soon they built around this rather than this in the park itself." You explained as Chaeyoung listened. "It's random and gets bigger, better, and scarier every year that it's one of the best in the country. Fans saying the world." You further explained as Chaeyoung had her mouth dropped slightly. "And we're lucky to be living close by."

"Exactly...what year is it on?"

"13." You answered as Chaeyoung mentally sighed.

"You excited for this aren't you?" She asked as you nodded.

"Well I do love horror. Besides spiders though...can't stand them." Chaeyoung smiled. "But anything besides them and it's all good."

"That's why you suggested coming here?" She asked as you nodded.

"Yeah. My mom is out with my siblings and dad didn't really want to come here. I'd figured I'd ask you girls if you wanted to and I'm really happy that you all did. But you suprise me Chae." Chaeyoung looked away slighly. "N-not that it's a bad thing. I think it's brave of you to do this. Face your fears right?" You said as Chaeyoung nodded.

"Yeah...you could say that." She muttered the last part.

"Well alright. I guess it's me and you like always huh?" You pointed out as Chaeyoung blinked a couple of times.

"Hmm?"

"Well everyone else has got a partner." You explained as Chaeyoung looked confused.

"Partner...wait we're being...paired up?"

"Oh I didn't tell you. They only allow two people rather than a group when we enter the maze after a bit. They split us up to make it even more terrifying." You told her as Chaeyoung's mouth slightly parted.

Pairs...split up.

Her and you together.

Chaeyoung turned to her friends, a desperate plea on her lips, one that died a terrible death at the sight of her friends all paired off.

Nayeon and Jihyo behind her.

Sana and Tzuyu behind them.

And although she couldn't see the other four, she guessed Mina with Jeongyeon and Momo with Dahyun.

They were gesturing to each other, having a conversation with each other.

Now of course, this is what she just wanted, more time with you, but not in the current circumstance.

Chaeyoung knew you would hear every scream she would muster tonight and she was not looking forward to showing you her timid side.

Maybe she could back out...but she didn't want to leave you or make you back out as well...or worse go with someone else.

Chaeyoung shook her head, she was going to be brave. She'll just stick by you and...huh...stick very close to you indeed.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to you and tossed you what she hoped was a winning smile.

"Then we're together then (YN)." Chayeoung said, but kicked herself mentally for saying something so forward.

You smiled at her as you nodded.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." You said as Chaeyoung smiled largely.

'If only we're together for real...'

The couple in front of her and you went up to the staff lady working as she explained something to them.

"Alright everyone, we'll meet up at the exit okay." Jihyo's voice boomed as each person turned towards her in the middle.

Jihyo then looked back towards two girls.

"And you two." She pointed at Sana and Tzuyu. "No making out in some hidden room! We're not coming back to look for you two nor are we waiting for you two to be done cleaning lipsticks." Jihyo pointed out.

"We make no promises," Sana says with a smirk curling her crimson-painted lips, very obviously sliding her hand into Tzuyu's back pocket as Tzuyu jumped slighly as Sana smirked and some in their group rolls their eyes or smiled at the two love birds.

---------------------------------------------------------

A minute later and Chaeyoung noticed the strangers in front heading into this dim room with the doors closing behind them.

The staff lady in front then asked them to come to her as you both stepped in front. She was dressed up as a vampire with fangs, a common cape and she had on pure red contacts on her eyes, making them glow like blood. Not much, but enough to get into the spirit of the night.

Letting the strangers in front go ahead for a head start, Chaeyoung tried to steady her breathing. "Hey you two, you ready for the session?" she asks, and you both nodded.

"Great, now I will tell you a bit in case you haven't read warnings, the actors are allowed to try to get as close to you as possible, but they aren't allowed to touch you. If you want or need them to stop approaching you, all you have to do is say "Stop" multiple times and they will leave you and move on."

Chaeyoung was glad to hear that one.

"However, if any of you get panicky, stay where you are and shout 'staff' or 'help' and someone will come to find you and either calm you down until you feel ready to keep going or escort you out of the maze." She explained as you both nodded.

"How often do you have people asking to leave?" Chaeyoung asks, clenching her hand into a fist to hide that her fingers are trembling violently.

"Happens all the time, even with the people who stand in front of me boasting that they'll be able to handle it," she says, giving Chaeyoung a small grin. "Our actors are very talented scarers, but they know their boundaries very well."

Chaeyoung gave a slight relief then she felt your hand on her shoulder as she looked to see you with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll stay right next to you the whole time," You promised, and Chaeyoung nods to you as the staff member asks for you both to wait a minute.

Soon after that, she gave the clear to walk forward and the other members all cheered for you two as you both walked through an entrance on the left.

As soon as you both entered, the entire room was enveloping them in darkness and music that sets Cheayoung's teeth on edge.

"Chae grab my hand." You suddenly spoke up as Chaeyoung turned hard towards you barely visible face. "I'll guide you." You spoke up as Chaeyoung did just that.

Squeezing your hand, it felt soft and seemed like a perfect fit holding onto it. "Don't think about it too much. Just hold on tight and we'll get through this just fine."

"T-thank you (YN)," Chaeyoung said back but her heartbeat does slow a little, allowing adrenaline instead of fear to become what's driving her to walk as they both walked into the double dark doors.

===============================================

The first room was not too bad to Chaeyoung.

An insane asylum setting with creepy nurses, strapped patients and doctors wielding tools covered in blood; overused tropes that she's heard of, nothing to get more than a shiver for the small one.

Creepy, but not at all terrifying due to you keeping her safe.

Chaeyoung held onto you really closely as you both walked alongside the rooms and doors which immensely helped her.

After a couple of hallways, they entered another large room and Chaeyoung's eyes widened.

The second room, well, room wasn't the word she would used was a graveyard setting.

'A-are we outside?!' She thought. 'How huge is this place?!'

Tombstones, trees, the sounds of owls and branches as you both walked, the fog obsuring thier vision...oh and the zombies cause as if it wasn't bad enough for Chaeyoung.

There was no barely visible set path on the ground as you both just walked forward and avoided any of the zombies lunging themselves at you.

Chaeyoung noticed you seem excited as she held onto your arm and hand so tight as her breathing was getting sharper and faster.

The setting to Chaeyoung didn't get to her, but the zombies getting near at her and getting up close, groaning and jumping out of nowhere made Chaeyoung just a bit worked up.

And it sure worked on the poor girl.

Chaeyoung was startled, she had let out a scream as well as she just hugged your body as she felt your comfort and even a few laughs from you.

She didn't know how you did it.

One had even tried getting in front of her face by crouching to her level slowly, but rather than being terrified, you wrapped your arm around her waist as you hugged her and literally dragged her forward and continued forward till you both found this stone like door lit up with two torches at the sides.

You pushed the door open and you both stepped into this hallway, that was nothing, but darkness.

You then dropped your hold on Chaeyoung as she blushed, but thank god for the barely lit setting, which was one thing she thought was a positive.

"Wow...(YN) t-thank you." Chaeyoung told you.

"Well I couldn't let them near you right?" You said with a smile as it lifted Chaeyoung up still.

"Right." She replied as you nodded.

"Let's move on shall we." You stated as there was no objection from Chaeyoung as she agreed.

-----------------------------------------------------

You both now walked through this dim hallway as everything was silent except for the breathing and steps and shuffling as you both kept walking till you both saw a dim light illuminating around the corner up ahead.

You both turned slowly and peeked your heads to see another hall that had one light bulb swinging in the middle. As weak as it was, it was the only source of light as it swung left and right and the creak of the chain was heard.

AN- Something like this, ignore the pipes, unless you want that.

"Oh great..." Chaeyoung muttered as you held her.

"It's okay Chae, don't worry. You want to be front or back?"

"I don't even know...b-back." You nodded as she went behind you and pushed her front towards your back as you held her right hand with yours.

You both walked forward, not to fast nor slow as you both were breathing hard. You were looking around and Chaeyoung just buried her head in the back of your sweater.

You were nearing the middle of the hall as the dim light bulb was the only source of light.

You looked around, thinking a secret wall might open for someone to pop out. You couldn't lie; you were feeling goose bumps and shivers as your breathing started to-

AAAAAHHHHHHHH!

A scream echoes around the hall from the back as you turned and pushed Chaeyoung behind your back, tightening her hand in yours.

Chaeyoung also screamed as well as she pressed herself hard.

"What is it?! What is it?!"

You searched around but nothing was behind as you were calming your breathing.

"I think...a speaker or something." You spoke as calm as you could for Chaeyoung's sake, but your heart was racing hard.

"M-maybe one of the girls." She spoke up. "Might have been Jihyo or Nayeon. They were behind us." She reasoned as you let go of Chaeyoung's hand a bit.

"I don't know...that sounded too close." You muttered as you turned around to see Chaeyoung looking at you. The light right above you both as you saw her shivering. "You okay?"

She nodded.

"Okay, but just tell me when okay? I don't mind leaving." She nodded as you pushed her words aside.

Chaeyoung felt her heart pound harder...not just fear but of your action as well.

She noticed how fast you pushed her behind you when the scream happened as well as your arms casting a shield on her sides...and she loved it just like the last one.

"Well...guess we sh-"

FLICK

AN-NOT THE LIGHTSOURCE I WANTED BUT CLOSE ENOUGH

"AHH!"

The light went out...

All around was nothing but black as you only felt Chaeyoung hold onto you.

"Oh god...oh god...oh god." You heard her mutter as you held onto her.

You breathed hard and tried to see what's lurking, but the night was too much as you couldn't see a thing.

THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP

"AHH!" Chaeyoung yelled as thumps were heard around.

"STOP! STOP!" You yelled out wanting them to stop.

FLICK

The light above turned back on as you started to look everywhere in case someone or something was around, but it seemed like you were in the clear.

Not only that, another light was on at the end where another door was there.

'Holy...oh god...' You thought as you were trying to remain calm, but not so much for Chaeyoung as she had her arms around your body and her head inside your chest, even to the point of shivering.

"C-Chae, Chae there's nothing. We're good. We're okay." You said patting her back as she very slowly looked around as she unheld you, but grabbed your hand fast as she looked around more.

"N-nothing?" She asked as you nodded. She released some air as she took a couple of deep breaths. "B-but that noise..."

"Might have been just...sound effects." You guessed or maybe someone was here...

"Maybe we should quit-"

"No. I-I'm okay..." She asked as you wanted to get her out, but who were you to make her choices.

She then turned to you, "But thank you (YN)."

You softly smiled as you squeezed her hand.

"Yeah. No worries, that one got me too." She formed a small smile as you took her hand and pointed your head towards the door. "You ready?"

"C-can I be in the front this time?" She asked as you nodded and she got in frontof you as she grabbed your other hand and placed them on her shoulders as she walked slow and steady and you matched her pace.

Both went forward towards the other end of the hall that had a silver door and a silver handle at the end.

Chaeyoung turned the hand slowly as you looked back to make sure nothing was there.

"Okay we're good from the back." You spoke up as Chaeyoung opened the door to reveal yet another room. This time it was lit up, but not by that much. It had a factory like setting with pipes lined up and steam noises.

The worst part was that there were different paths: left, right, and forward. All not good choices.

"How in the-" Chaeyoung yelled out. "How big is this place?!"

"Is one of the best Chae...they got the money to make this-"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" "RUN!"

You both jumped in place as Chaeyoung went to you more.

"W-was that a speaker?"

"I don't...I don't know...let's just go slowly...I got you." You tried to push her, but Chaeyoung stopped you.

"Why don't we just wait for the others to catch up?"

"Unless they took them to this specific section. I don't think we'll see them." You said as Chaeyoung turned around.

"What?"

"The actors made us walk to this section."

Chaeyoung widened her eyes.

"Wait? What do you mean?"

"Since the first room, they've been closing and opening paths and the actors led us to each one. Probably had two or three paths in the nurse and doctors, the second one with the zombies had three or four. It makes sure that groups that want to be together are split up for good."

"Ugh...how complex is this place?" She asked as you chuckled.

PPPPPSSSSSHHHH

Chaeyoung yelped at the sound of a pipe or something went of as she went closer to you as the darkness pressed in around them like a veil. "Promise not to leave me?" Chaeyoung suddenly asks as you turned to her holding onto you for dear life.

"I swear," you said, and Chaeyoung presses herself so close she's practically draped across your front, desperately trying not to think of what might be lurking in the darkness as they walked for about twenty seconds.

A change in the music also makes Chaeyoung jump, imagining the sound of footsteps on every side, expecting a face to loom out of the darkness or a hand to brush against her side.

The twists and turns of this dark maze was making you both disorientated, stumbling around in darkness so deep they can barely make out as Chaeyoung walked a foot in front of her, hearing a few yells as Chaeyoung convinces herself are other people around too...actors or customers, she didn't know.

Scuttling sounds of insects on the ground and the eerie call of a faraway screech set Chaeyoung's teeth on edge, and you tensed up too in fear.

Chaeyoung gripping your hand tight enough to hurt a little, digging her nails into your palm every time Chaeyoung lets out a small squeak of fear. You didn't complain though.

A low laugh cutting through the music makes both of them jump violently,

You jumped back with a frantic repetitive murmur of, "against the wall, back to the wall," and Chaeyoung clinging to your hand as if it was her life on the line.

"We're okay...we're okay...let's ju-"

You stopped talking and wide eyed as did Chaeyoung.

Both of you are witnessing a light source suddenly turn on and a figure emerging underneath.

A tall, broad silhouette with a gas mask shining eerily through the light as it stared at you both.

Chaeyoung clutching frantically at your sleeve as-

BBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZ

-but she soon panicked very quickly as a rumble, and the motor of a chainsaw comes to life, the metal gleaming with the eerie light overhead, and Chaeyoung screams so loudly she goes momentarily light-headed, ignoring every rule against running to sprint away from the horror, your steps behind her and her pounding feet loud over the music.

"Stop Chae! Chae!" You yelled out, but Chaeyoung kept on running.

Another figure leaps out at them from the shadows, and she catches only a glimpse of a grey face and a mouth dripping blood as she screams again and crashes hard into a corner and a sharp gasp as she felt her arm sting bad.

She didn't care however at the moment as she ran into fog so thick she couldn't see her hand in front of her face, no matter how hard she waves.

Shivering frantically, she pulls her arms around her and turns, expecting to find you behind her.

"(YN)..."

No one is there, even when she waves her hand around into the gloom looking for someone, retraces a few steps, tries hissing, "(YN)..." too afraid to raise her voice any higher.

"(YN)..."

But no one answers.

Chae looked around frantically, but it was in-

SLAM

A door slams somewhere close behind her, making her shriek and leap forward further into the darkness.

Trembling violently, clutching at her body, she loses all control of her breathing when lights begin to flicker in front of her and, momentarily gleaming against a figure standing there and Chaeyoung's eyes widened as her entire body shivered.

Something like this image. May not be scary, but whatever. Plus the setting works well too. Just pretend it's wider.

The clown in front of her stared at Chaeyoung and with one step that seemed to echo the hall, fills the air, as it slowly shuffled towards her.

Sheer terror brings tears springing to her eyes, her vision blurring and wavering black at the edges, and she tries to back away from the sound, but Chaeyoung finds that she hits a wall almost immediately.

Fumbling against the cold metal, Chaeyoung finds herself crying in earnest, breathing shallow and broken, and as the figure emerges closer from the mist and reveals a terrfying smile.

"Please don't, please don't hurt me, please please please, why are you doing this, just stop..." She prayed silently.

Her breathing rasps in her throat, her vision entirely blurred by tears and panic clawing coldly at her chest, stopping up her lungs and she can only hug herself and cry as she couldn't do anything.

"Hey, hey miss." She heard, but was petriefied. "Okay hold on. Hey we need lights on corridor 9-B."

Chaeyoung heard some flicks, but sobbed in her fetal form.

"Miss...hey everything is okay. My name is-"

"Get the hell away from her!" Chaeyoung heard and recognized that yell as her eyes widened.

"Wait I was-AHH!" She heard a thump as Chaeyoung slowly looked to see a figure blur past her.

"Don't "ow" you dare "hey" touch her! "Get off!"" Chaeyoung heard and knew the voice.

"Turn the secondary lights on now!" She heard another voice on her left as then more lights turned on making the whole place illuminated.

The music shuts off immediately, the only sound on the air the hum of the bright electric lights that flickered to life, and Chaeyoung took in the new sight.

The fog was there, but the light overcame that as she can still clearly what was going on and her eyes widened ever more.

You were on top of the clown, arm cocked back and forth as you pummeled into the clown's arms that was shielding it's face.

She slightly saw your glare and clenthed teeth as you looked like you were about to kill.

"Stop! Stop!" She heard as another person passed her as they grabbed and pulled you off the clown.

"Jeff!? You alright?!" Chaeyoung heard, but kept her eyes on you as you turned immediately towards Chaeyoung as you scrambled up to her.

"Chae, chae, chae I'm here." You placed a hand on her head as you were breathing hard.

You were now kneeling in front of her...and that's when she lunged at you and hugged you tight as she cried onto your shoulder as you tightly held her back.

"I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry Chae..." You were even huffing breath back as you clenched the poor girl.

"Hey-"

"Shut it!" You yelled out as you went back to stroke and soothe Chaeyoung. "I'm here, I'm here Chae. Chaeyoung," you breathed, "I'm so, so sorry Chae."

Chaeyoung didn't move but kept her held on you as she cried into your shoulder.

When she hugged you and you her, she couldn't help but feel safe.

The voices and images in her head had become less pronounced, fading away more and more as time passed with her in your embrace as her throat was clogged up.

She tightened her grip on you as much as she could, afraid that she was imagining you beside her or that you were going to vanish from sight.

"Jeff did you not stop!?" A woman's voice was heard.

"I was stopping, but then that man/woman got to me!" A man's voice was heard.

"You got near her!" You shouted back.

"Amber, halt maze 3-A. Announce everyone to stop and wait." The lady spoke as something dinged seconds later.

"May I have your attention please. We're sorry but this section is on hold and lit up for everyone's safety as a caution. Please stay where you are and wait for us to resume the attraction. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Miss. I know you're-

"Get away!" You yelled as the workers backed off a bit.

"Okay...Jeff just go to the break room."

"But-"

"Jeff. Please." The lady ordered as you both heard a grunt and steps away.

"Okay. He's gone. I know you're scared, but we need to make sure that you aren't hurt first." The woman's voice spoke up. "Do you feel any pain anywhere?"

Chaeyoung shook her head simply.

"Chae if you're hurt I need to know." You asked as Chaeyoung shook her head in your shoulder again. "Thank god...I'm so so sorry Chae. I really am. I was trying to follow after and then I fell into someone and...the darkness was too much and...god I'm sorry Chae." You tried to explain as Chaeyoung heard and felt you tightening your arms, but she didn't care about why you were gone.

You were here.

That's all she cared about as she felt your comfort and warmth as you held her tight.

"Okay...okay...Chae let's...let's get up." You said as Chaeyoung nodded and leaned away from you, only to slightly open her mouth to see your eyes glossy.

"(YN)..."

"Not now, let's just get out of here." You said as Chaeyoung nodded.

"Easy Chae, easy." You said as you both stood up, but when she tries to stand she finds that her legs go out from under her, sending her stumbling forward into you.

"I got you, I got you." You said fast, looking down at the top of her head.

"..." Chae didn't say anything as she breathes in and out as you felt nothing, but guilt.

"I'm sorry Chae...I really am." Chaeyoung looked up to you as she saw your expression as she was holding onto your body for support.

"I...I ran (YN)...it's my-"

"No, it's mine. I promised yo-"

"Oh god! Miss your arm!" The woman was heard and you un-held Chaeyoung fast and saw the cut on her arm...as well as blood oozing out and down her elbow. "Does it hurt?" The woman asked immediately as Chaeyoung shook her head.

You couldn't believe it...

"Doesn't look bad, but still. Come into the staffroom. We can apply first aid." The lady spoke up as you looked to her.

"Quickly." You said as the lady nodded and pressed a finger to her ear, "Amber, we're bringing customers into the back. A woman's arm is scratched up. Could you get the first aid into my office...thank you."

"Come on Chae, grab onto my back. I'll carry you." You said turning your body.

"(Y-"

"No discussion, you're hurt."

"But it's just my ar-"

"No. Discussions." You spoke sternly as you glared at her. "Your leg might be hurt as well."

Chaeyoung was taken aback.

It was the same look as she saw you giving the clown.

A look she hasn't seen before from you...

She, however, knew you weren't mad at her, but concerned.

Chaeyoung nodded with no question as she went closer to you and hopped on your back, as she held onto your neck with both arms, careful not to put her blood on you.

You then placed your hands underneath her knees as Chaeyoung blushed at the very close contact with her head on your shoulders.

"You okay?" You asked.

"Y-yeah." Chaeyoung said as you nodded and followed the lady.

All the lights in the maze have blazed into life, the atmospheric music cut off and the fog clearing, other staff members resetting props and looking for any belongings dropped in someone's haste to run. Chaeyoung's pulse seems to be pounding in her ears as she's being carried by you.

"I'm sorry about tonight you two." The lady spoke up. "I'm sure Jeff didn't mean to scare you as badly as he did," she said as she looked back. "It's his second time, people say knowing when to stop is instinctive, but he obviously hasn't learned it yet. I truly am very sorry." She apologized as you didn't reply but followed her.

30 seconds later

They followed her through a door marked STAFF ONLY into brightly lit hall.

She pushes another door open, and you both look around in wonder at what must be the center of the building, actors out of costume and drinking water and snacks.

As the door closes behind them, eyes were met with you three as the lady asked you to follow her into another room. First sight, looks like a small office, with a couch, desk and laptops, fan, and a table on the side.

"Come sit down," she urge you two to the unoccupied couch, soft and comfortable is what comes first to Chaeyoung's mind as you placed Chaeyoung down as she sat on the cushions.

"Good the first aid is here." She said as she went towards it.

Chaeyoung couldn't help, but stare at your face.

You had such a hurt look as you looked at her arm and Chaeyoung didn't like seeing you like this.

"(YN) I-"

"I'm so sorry Chae." You muttered as you gulped and your eyes were hurt. "I really am sorry, Chaeyoung. I should've ran faster or...held you harder. I should have...been more careful with you." Your voice was low and Chaeyoung felt her pain in her heart overshadow her arm.

"I'll treat her." You stated as the lady looked to you.

She saw your look as she agreed.

"You know how to-" You nodded. "Very well. I'll give you two some space. I'll be in the next room if you need me. My name is Vanessa. I am sorry for you two to be in this situation." She bowed slightly as she closed the door on her way out as Chaeyoung looked to you.

You had a solemn look to her cut on her arm that was red as it can be as the blood trailed down towards her elbow as you went to start on aiding her.

"Please (YN). It's not your fault (YN)," she said as you took an antiseptic wipe and dabbing at the blood away from her arm, "I wasn't thinking and I-(YN)!?"

"Sorry Chae. Does it hurt that bad?" You jumped your hands back, thinking you pressed hard on the injury, but Chaeyoung reached out to take a better look at your knuckles.

They were red, not to the point of bleeding, but a deep color and she knew it was from the hard punching you were giving the clown.

"That's nothing." You said as you tried to pull back, but she kept her hold.

"D-does it hurt?" She asked as you shook your head and tugged your hands back.

"You're the one hurt Chae." You said as you resumed your treating of her arm as you took the first wipe away and got another to get a better clean up, not looking at her as Chaeyoung sighed.

"..." She looked to you treating her arm as she felt your soft touch and dab, as the fear and adrenaline has left her body, and the comfort of just being near you is helping to ground her...even under the circumstance.

You then took the blood-soaked wipes on the side as you pulled out some bandages, looking for the proper size.

"I reacted badly (YN)," Chaeyoung kept attempting for you not to blame yourself. "It was bound to happen that I would run off."

You didn't respond as you took the bandage off it's coat and placed it on her cut and patted it gently. Chaeyoung moved her arm around to signal you that it's okay.

"Good...what about your legs? Or head or anything?" You asked as Chaeyoung shook her head.

"I'm not hurt anywhere (YN). I promise you." Chaeyoung didn't raise her tone. She knew you just wanted to make sure she was okay. She really appreciated it, but still didn't want you to beat yourself up.

"Okay...you good to stand on your own?" you asked Chaeyoung softly, and you hands rose protectively as she stood, testing her weight out on her legs and finding that she's no longer shaking, calmed by your presence, aid and talk and seeing the ordinary people behind the costumes when she walked in.

Chaeyoung looked up to you as you looked at her back.

"Some night huh?" She said as she tried to lower the tension.

"I'm sorry for dragging you here Chae."

"I wanted to come (YN)." She said as you lamented.

"I should have stayed outside with you. I was so stupid into letting you-"

"You're not!" Chaeyoung sounded as you ended. "Don't call yourself that." Chaeyoung said as you clenched your fists.

"But I am. I let you go, I got you frightened and your arm is-"

Chaeyoung placed a hand on your face as that made you quiet down.

"Stop. Please. Don't blame yourself (YN). If anything, it's my own fault for running away. I heard you calling my name and I knew these actors can stop, but I coudln't say so or do so. It was my fault to begin with. Not you." She reasoned as you glanced away. "You came back, you fought that guy...to defend me. That doesn't make you stupid (YN), that makes you a hero in my eyes."

Chaeyoung hoped that her words will ease you, she wanted to see you smile and taunt about how she was right, but you still didn't do anything...in fact, she thought you look more worse.

"Tsk...hero? Chae...you were hurt, you were on the floor sobbing, petrified and terrified. All because my dumbass fell down. I can't bear to see you get injured Chae. Not you...not you." You were on the verge of crying.

Chaeyoung's heart broke.

"You have no idea how worried I was when I saw you run into the fog and...and then I just ran and...I found you and that asshole standing over you and...and...god I'm sor-HMPH!"

You were silenced as your eyes widened at Chaeyoung's lips on yours.

Before you even had time to process what happened, two seconds later.

Her heart was racing as she placed the other hand on your other cheek.

"..." You didn't move or say anything as Chaeyoung held your face.

She wasn't thinking.

"Shut up..." Chaeyoung demanded as her body was on adrenaline and nervousness. She saw your look of confusion on you as she stared at you.

Her hands and fingers were clenched onto your face; everything in her body was clenched.

"C-chae...y-you-

"I like you..." She said softly, but you heard her words.

The words trip from her tongue unexpectedly, and she blushes immediately, wishing she could curl up in a corner and simply melt away to avoid the fallout of saying her innermost thoughts.

But apparently some part of her mind doesn't understand that, because she keeps talking. "I like that it takes us twice as long as it should to get our homework done because we always get distracted."

Her eyes never left yours.

"I like how we have lots of fun times together, even activities that I don't think are fun, but you make them so."

Her hands were getting sweaty.

"I like how we have the same taste in music and books and shows and that we always share headphones and talk about anything as we wait for class to start."

You, on the other hand, just sat there and was confused as to why she was saying all this now.

"I like how you're kind to everyone and don't hesitate to help me out if anything was wrong, no matter what. Just like now."

Chaeyoung took a large breathe in.

"I-I like you a lot (YN)..."

You gazed down at her with something unreadable even to her skills at understanding emotions in your eyes widening, and Chaeyoung watches the motion of your throat as you swallowed thickly.

"I have a massive crush on you (YN), ever since we first met when you moved here," she says softly, and her heart is pounding right now that it might explode of her chest. "Since then I've tried to tell you, but...I was always so nervous to say so."

"..." You remained quiet.

"That's why...I thought if I can brave myself to do this place...then I can be brave on telling you my feelings." Chaeyoung licked her lips as she looked to her jeans as her hands tightened harder.

"..."

"I know it's a stupid idea, but I figu-" She stopped talked as she saw a hand over hers as she looked to you leaning closer as Chaeyoung's breathing stopped.

She didn't move as you kept on getting closer and then.

'Hmmph!'

Chaeyoung's eyes widened as she felt your lips on hers again, but rather than a quick peck, this one took it's time.

'Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!'

You were kissing Chaeyoung and she was kissing you.

They were as soft as she imagined they could, as you hands caught her gently behind her neck and you pressed your mouth to Chaeyoung's futher, softly but firmly.

Then you moved one arm around her waist and pulled her closer to you.

Chaeyoung immediately succumbed to your touches as she remained limp as the feeling of this was overwhelming her body system as she kissed you back.

It felt like another dream. Like all those dreams she had, but this...this was real as she felt your tender breathing of your nose, you pulling her closer to you and her body shifting with yours as both kissed softly.

But it ended for Chaeyoung as you pulled away, but Chaeyoung kept on leaning forward as she opened her eyes slowly, hoping wasn't imaginary...it wasn't as she saw your eyes very closely and a smile on you.

"..." Now it was Chaeyoung's turn to be silent as you looked to her.

"You mean much to me Chae too...deeply."

Chaeyoung couldn't believe what you were saying as her body started to rock a bit from the after math.

"...y-you...y-you..." Chaeyoung couldn't even say any words out as you nodded.

"I do...I just...I was scared too. I'm always mesmerized by how you look and all those things you said...I feel the same in every possible way." You muttered as Chaeyoung took a sharp gasp as she couldn't help the smile on her face from enlarging...but your frown stopped that.

"I'm sorry for you to go this far Chae. And I'm sorry for making it so and not telling you sooner." You said as Chaeyoung stared at your eyes she loved seeing. "I'll do whatever to make you forget about tonight. I'm sorry...I really-"

"Just go out with me." Chaeyoung spoke up as you stopped. "You want to make it up? Then go out with me. Nothing scary, nothing horror, no jumpscares. Just us and a simple movie." She asked...and she couldn't be anymore happy as you nodded as she smiled and swore almost teared up there.

"Then that I will Chae." You excitingly answered, and Chaeyoung can't help the overexcited squeal that escapes her, bouncing on her feet in delight.

You smiled and your gaze drops momentarily to her lips, lingering just long enough for her to notice, before you flushed and looks away from her.

However, you felt something placed on your cheek, heart pounding, as you looked to her as Chaeyoung leans towards you to guide you into another kiss.

No longer scared or nervous, Chaeyoung decided to go for it herself and relieve the moment once more.

Chaeyoung closed her eyes and melted as her whole body was consumed in that kiss.

She was nothing around, yet everything at once.

With no hesitation, your arms winded around her, and she feels a groan vibrate in your chest when she curls her fingers into your hair at the back of your head to pull you closer.

Chills ran over her skin, and fire burnt inside her as your body pressed closer to mine, and she wrapped her arms around your neck.

Your lips were warmer and softer than anything she could have imagined, yet fierce and powerful at the same time. Chaeyoung's responded hungrily, and she tightened her hold on you.

Your fingers slid down the back of her neck, tracing its shape, and every place they touched was electric to her.

Everything was glorious.

At least until-

KNOCK KNOCK

You both pulled away as Vanessa opened the door and popped her head inside.

"Sorry for the interruption. I just wanted to make sure if you're your arm okay?" She asked Chaeyoung and she nodded slowly and you looked away.

"Okay. Also, a group of people outside asked for a Chaeyoung and (YN). I heard your names and informed them that you two were in here." You both nodded.

"Thank you. Just give us another minute." You asked as Vanessa nodded and quickly left.

Like reading minds, you both then turned and looked at the eyes of each others.

"(YN)...that was "amazing"" you both finished as you softly laughed. "That was completely worth the entry."

You both then laughed at Chaeyoung's small joke as you looked at her happy expression.

"So...we're together." Of course you knew it was, but you wanted for her to confirm it.

"Yes. We are (YN)." She smiled as she bit her lip as you smiled as well.

"Great...okay. Uhh...this was probably the worst first date then right?" You said, voice a little hoarse around the edges, and she giggles up at you, light-headed with giddiness rather than fear.

"Ehh, it just makes it even more special than a normal movie and dinner, but I'd rather have that than this." She shrugged her shoulders as you smiled. You stood up as Chaeyoung followed your action as she grabbed your hand.

"But thank you for everything about tonight (YN). I know it didn't quite go right along the way, but I felt it was a perfect end." She happily said. It was like nothing bad happened to her at all.

"Me too Chae and once again, I am really sorry for what happened to you. I hope this whole experience won't give you nightmares or anything awful tonight." You said concerned as Chaeyoung shook her head.

"Oh don't worry. After that kiss," Chaeyoung arched a large smile up at you, "I definitely won't have nightmares."

You were left blushing as you led her towards the door. As you opened the door, Vanessa was there talking with another worker as she went to you both.

"Everything okay?" She asked as you both nodded. "Good...I'm sorry once again. If you want, we can offer something or anything free. It's not much around but-"

"Thank you Vanessa, but it's not necessary." You spoke up as Chaeyoung nodded.

"Well...okay then. As long as you're okay." She asked as Chaeyoung nodded. Then the co worker that she was talking to stood up as you both eyed him.

"I'm am so sorry you too. I was the one who scared you miss." The man, Jeff, you think, bowed slightly now with normal clothing and a clean face.

"It's nothing, you're paid to do that. And it was quite effective." Chaeyoung said as Jeff smiled softly. "No harm done." Chaeyoung waved him off as he nodded.

"Well, except for your arm...you okay?" He asked as she nodded.

"And I'm sorry for tackling and beating you up." You spoke up as Jeff waved it off.

"No worries, I got too close and you were just protecting her." Jeff spoke up as you both smiled. "There's no harm done either." He said as you nodded. "It's not the first time it's happened here...I'm sure it'll happen to me again." He admitted as you four chuckled.

"Here. I'll lead you to the exit. Your friends are waiting." Vanessa pointed at the door as you both waved Jeff bye and followed Vanessa.

------------------------------------

"Chae!" "Are you okay?!" "What happened?!"

As soon as you both exited the place through a door, all your other eight friends bombarded you both about what happened.

They were already outside the exit, waiting for you both as they formed a circle around you both. Apparently, they were told about you and her through some workers

"Calm down everyone." You raised your free hand as every one there stopped. "Give Chae some space please." You spoke loudly as each girl took a small step back. "Thank you."

"Chae you okay?" Mina asked as Chaeyoung displayed her bandaged arm.

"Just a mild scratch." She said as the other's shoulders fell, even Tzuyu's.

"That's good." Jihyo nodded.

"We wanted to come in, but they said to give you a two a minute to get over this." Sana spoke up as you both nodded. "Are you sure you're okay?" She asked as Chaeyoung nodded.

"I am. Thank you all for your concern." She spoke up as they all nodded. She then looked to you as you nodded and she smiled. "And...we have something to share. It's sudden, but..." Chaeyoung held your hand, "(YN) and I are together now."

Each girl looked at one another.

"Weren't you...already together?" Momo asked as both your eyes widened at her.

"W-what?" Chaeyoung was shocked.

"We could have sworn you two were dating?" Sana questioned.

"Why would you assume that?!" You answered as the girls looked funny at you.

"Well you two are always together."

"You both fool around."

"Sharing food."

"Never stop talking."

"Best of friends."

"Okay we get it!" Both you and Chaeyoung shouted as the other eight laughed as you both pouted.

"Okay okay. But seriously, it's great that you're together. Officially I guess now." Jihyo spoke up as the others cheered and agreed with her.

"Congrats!" "Nice." "You two looked great together." "Finally."

You both smiled and couldn't help but look at one another and have a quick peck on the lips as the others "Aww~" or smiled at the two as you both blushed and knew you were going to get teased throughout the car rides home.

"Well...what should we do now?" Mina asked.

"I feel like we should just go." Sana chimed in.

"Chaeyoung's choice." Jihyo spoke up as everyone nodded.

Chaeyoung looked down as she nodded.

"Let's go...I'd rather be somewhere less scary." She said as the others nodded. "Besides...wait till you hear what (YN) did." She said as the others were now intrigued.

-------------------------------

After deciding to tell the whole experience at Sana's place, they all split with each other, half the group went towards Jihyo's SUV and Nayeon's car.

Mina opted to swap with you seeing as how you both wanted to get to Sana's together and left with Joengyeon, Momo, and Nayeon.

The only reason you were with the other four was that they picked you up from work, but now that you're free, you went with Chaeyoung.

Jihyo proudly recounts the story of how she turned an actor away from her in a dark corridor by yelling at him and Tzuyu had them all in stitches recounting how Sana accidentally hit a cast member in the face from instinctively lashing out when surprised. Chaeyoung told the five she was with about how you did the same and now they were very intrigued with what happened.

Even in the car on the way home, trapped between listening to Tzuyu and Sana swapping nothing but kisses in the back and Jihyo and Dahyun bellowing every word to every song for most of the ride to Sana's place, and you to the side of her on your phone letting your parents know you're heading towards her place, Chaeyoung gazes out into the crisp, clear night and thought about you.

Plans on what she'll wear for their first date.

Thinks about kissing you again.

And again.

And again after that.

And as many times as she can and wants as she smiled happily.

She was proud of herself tonight too.

True she got hurt, but she was brave enough to do what she said and did and to say her feelings and in the end...she looked to you as you were talking on your phone as she leaned on your shoulder.

You then held your arm out and draped it over Chaeyoung as she loved the contact and move as you hanged up the phone.

"Chea."

"Hmm?"

You leaned down as you kissed her on the lips as she returned the kiss with-

SCREECH

You and Chaeyoung were twisted as Jihyo did a sharp turn on the wheel.

"Jihyo?! What the heck?!" Sana yelled out.

"I will not let them turn into you and Tzuyu. Not them!" Jihyo wagged a finger in the air as you all laughed at her.

"Fine..." You complained as Jihyo could only smile, turning up the dial to This is Halloween

"Okay Jihyo...this is a good one." Tzuyu spoke up as Jihyo grinned and raised the volume and soon the whole van started to sing the lyrics.

During the ride, you held Chaeyoung close to you as she kept her hold on you as well.

'I guess Halloween isn't such a bad holiday now.' She thought.

===========================================================

AND THAT'S THAT

Have a Happy (Future) Halloween everyone! I hope that everyone has a safe and excellent night of terror and fun!

Love you readers!

Thanks for taking a pause in your life to reading this. Vote/Comment. And thanks again!

Coming Out |Twice Chaeyoung|

The first person Chaeyoung had come out to was Dahyun. She was actually quite terrified when she did, panicking slightly. Since she was in their room, Tzuyu had walked in, causing her anxiety to spark entirely. Both girls helped her calm down, letting her breathe until she was ready.

“I like… girls.” Chaeyoung muttered.

“Okay…” Tzuyu whispered. “As in like… You want to date them?” She asked.

“Yeah.” She answered quietly.

“That’s okay.” Dahyun whispered. “We won’t judge you. Right Tzuyu?” Dahyun asked. Tzuyu nodded her head, agreeing with the older. “We love you just the same. You’re our best friend. Our family.” Dahyun smiled. Chaeyoung smiled, feeling a little happy about those two accepting her at least.

Her next person was Mina. The one person she really trusted wouldn’t judge her. She walked into her room, thinking she didn’t have earphones in. So she just came out and said it. Mina honestly had no idea she was there until she looked up and saw her there.

“Did you say something?” Mina frowned while pulling out an earbud.

“I…. I said… Um..” Chaeyoung frowned. “I… asked what you were watching..” She lied.

“She said she likes girls.” Both girls looked over, seeing Sana buried under her blankets, sitting up slightly.

“WHEN DID YOU GET THERE?!” Chaeyoung gawked, shocked that she didn’t notice her.

“I’ve been here. I have a headache and Mina is the only quiet one.” She mumbled. “But I’m glad you figured it out. I’m behind you 100%.” she gave a weak thumbs up before turning around in the bed and closing her eyes.

“Oh.” Chaeyoung frowned, looking back at Mina.

“I accept you too. It’s your life and I’m not going to judge it.” She smiled. “Just don’t fall in love with the wrong girl.” She chuckled. Chaeyoung let out a small laugh, relieved that at least two more members accepted her. So far that was five and she had three left. She was honestly a little terrified.

“Mina.” Sana muttered.

“Yeah?”

“Chaeyoung’s gay.” She mumbled.

“Yes. She said that.”

“Remember when she came home looking like someone had beaten her legs?” Sana asked, pushing herself up to rest on her elbows. Mina nodded, a confused look on her face. “Do you think people knew then?” She asked.

“No… It seems like she just figured it out.” Mina frowned.

“Okay… Making sure.” Sana mumbled before going back to bed.

Chaeng walked down the hall, seeing Nayeon and Jeongyeon together at the table, Jihyo in the kitchen and Momo in the living room. Momo was the next easiest person to talk to.

“Unnie… I have something to tell you.” Chaeyoung frowned, sitting next to her. Boo immediately jumped from Momo’s lap to Chaeng’s, making her smile.

“What’s up?” She asked, looking at the younger. “What’s wrong? Something bad?” She whispered.

“No… I.. I like girls.” She frowned, afraid to look at her. “And.. I need to tell you guys because you’re my family too..” She whispered. Momo was silent for a moment, processing everything that she had said.

“It’s okay.” Momo whispered. “If you like girls… Then you like girls. Nothing bad about it.” Momo said quietly. “Did you tell anyone else?” She asked.

“Yeah, I told Mina and Sana unnie…. And Dahyun and Tzuyu.” She answered, still focused on Boo.

“Are you afraid to tell the others?” She asked, watching Chaeyoung nod her head. “Want me to help you? I can stand with you and just be there for you while telling them.” She asked. Chaeyoung looked up, happy that she had offered such a thing.

Momo stood with her while she told the rest of the girls, all three of them happy that she was able to get it off of her chest and tell them. They offered as much support as they could, and hoped that she would come to them for more things if she felt comfortable.

“How long have you been thinking about this?” Jeongyeon asked Chaeng.

“A while… I didn’t know but I felt more comfortable this way.” She answered calmly, a smile on her face.

They watched as Chaeyoung left to hang out and decompress, Jihyo glanced over at Nayeon and Jeongyeon. A knowing look on her face.

“Remember when she would come home with bruises.” Jihyo stated calmly.

“Yeah.. you don’t think it’s from that? Do you?” Nayeon frowned.

“Maybe… She told us they were from gym class… But they didn’t look like normal bruises.” Jeongyeon mumbled.

“Our poor baby…” Jihyo sighed. “I wish she would’ve told us sooner… Maybe she wouldn’t have had to go through it all alone.” She frowned. “We could’ve protected her.” She started to blame herself.

“Hyo, none of us were that close then… We hardly told anyone anything that didn’t pertain to the group.” Jeongyeon explained. “The fact that she told us now, when she was sure makes it all the better. I know we could’ve protected her, but what’s done is done.” She added.

“And we can find out who kicked her like that now. And hurt them.” Nayeon whispered to Jihyo.

hi joo (if it’s ok to call you joo), so tell me a lil more about all your future wips. i’m blown away bc 14?! 🙃

yes absolutely call me joo !!

so yeah, aside from the seven plot bunnies you can see in my pinned post, i have seven more wips that ive basically conceptualized and outlines (a lil)

1. 3mix/dahyun band au - this one's basically a spiritual successor to "pretentious" in that it's a trio plus dahyun, except it's angstier ! it also talks about another type of poly relationship that i don't really write too much about, but is interesting nonetheless (shoutout to my (not real) mom for inspiring this part of the fic ily)

2. dubchaeng actors au - this one is a self indulgent acting au bc i study acting techniques as a theater major wahaha so basically dahyun and chaeyoung are actors that learn two different acting techniques, the adler technique and the strasberg technique, and they become rivals bc they don't like each other's techniques (i suggest u look them up, the original people who made these techniques also had a rivalry ! its pretty cool, although stanislavski/meisner is my preferred technique)

3. dahyo demigod au - this one's a doozy and bc i love writing mythology, if you're familiar with the ulster cycle of irish mythology, there's a hero named cu chulainn who's the son of a sun god who gets taught the ways of war by scathach, a sort of immortal witch/warrior maiden who teaches heroes (if u play fgo u're probably familiar with them) in this au, dahyun is cu chulainn and jihyo is scathach, im tryna do research for this one cus im not too familiar with irish mythology, but i'm probably not gonna stick too close to the actual mythology cus vibes HAHA

4. dahmo genie au - this au is a very neat one, it's based off of a short film i watched many years ago called "friend like me" (2016) its on youtube i suggest u watch it ! basically, momo's a kid who found a genie lamp when she was young, and asked for a best friend. out comes dahyun, a genie who becomes her best friend (lowkey inspired by dahyun with the genie costume HAHA)

5. dajeong serial killer au - ahhh this is a really good one and the subject of so many conversations with my (not real) mom that it literally has an au of itself. basically, dahyun's the heir of a mafia gang who's attracted the attention of jeongyeon, who's a serial killer. they elope and go on the run from rival gangs that hate dahyun's family and dahyun's own family (ive written the ending to this but barely the beginning HAHAHA)

6. dayeon artist au - this one's still in the conceptual stages of writing (as in i have nothing on it yet and it exists solely in my mind palace) but basically it's a dystopian au with the upper class bourgeois people and poor lower class people. nayeon's a well-esteemed, rich artist that does works for other rich people, while dahyun's a rebel and a revolutionary artist who tags buildings and makes protest art (this will hopefully come in time for me to take my art of protest class huhu)

7. dayeon magical realism au - this one's,,,a little hard to explain, because it's based off of a filipino short story called "the kite of stars" (its in english, so i suggest u search it up and read it !) basically its the story of a rich noble girl who wants to create a kite that can carry her into the sky so she can be seen by a stargazer she's fallen in love with, so she goes on a journey to gather all the parts of the kite, joined by a butcher's boy who's fallen in love with her. in this au, nayeon's the rich noble girl, mina's the stargazer, and dahyun's the butcher's boy (yes unrequited love wahaha)

THOSE are my future wips, i ALSO have three aus that im working on that honestly may never see the light of day if i dont finish my current wips HAHAHA these are vaguer, more universe style instead of a single fic, so these will probably consist of multiple oneshots and drabbles !

1. darkest dungeon 2 au - alright COMPLETELY self indulgent holy shit i just love darkest dungeon. if you haven't played, it's basically a grim, eldritch horror vibe game where you take heroes on expeditions to destroy evil creatures and monsters. the second game focuses on the heroes traveling a world plunged into insanity and darkness to try and destroy the root of evil at the base of a mountain (its super fucking cool) anyway, yeah each member of twice would be a hero here, trying to balance saving the world, dealing with emotional trauma, and loving each other all at the same time (tbh dont expect much from this, its super self indulgent and it might not make sense to anyone HAHA)

2. magic school au - am also super excited for this one !! now u may think this is hogwarts but no ! it is actually a full magic school au that i've created from the ground up (kind of, its based on dnd magic HAHA) this was originally made for a world that i created for dnd (yes im a nerd ok) basically each member of twice is a student that's part of a special fancy organization that takes care of student and faculty requests ! yes its cute some of them are elves, theres lots of magic and monsters, but most of all, it's basically magic college HAHA my (not real) mom requested a fic, and i kinda got ahead of myself and made a whole ass au with like three or four oneshots planned !!! (this one's for u mom ily)

3. my apartment au ! this one's KIND OF based off of supernatural (the show) except a lot more lighthearted HAHA, basically dahyun is the landlord of an apartment that only houses supernatural and mythological creatures ! so each member of twice (besides dahyun) is a creature of mythology that stays in the apartment. this au is special cus its my first attempt at an OT9 ! just one big poly soup of everyone loving each other (but still dahyun-centric mostly hue)

so yes, these are my aus and wips, if u want a more in depth explanation of these plots (or the plots in my pinned post) feel free to send another ask !

thank u for letting me ramble hue

PLAY TIME

— genre. smut with no plot 👍 established relationship! between reader and chae

— warnings. 18+, switch!chaeyoung but mostly dom!chaeyoung, dom!jungkook, f/f/m sex, jungkook and them are friends i just threw him in here cus why not, threesome, living room sex!!!, voyeurism, masturbation, squirting, cum eating??, doggy position, pussy eating, tit play kinda, hentai porn playing in the background, also NOT proofread cus im lazy :P

— series masterlist

you never thought you’d be having a threesome with your girlfriend and your best friend. nor did you ever imagine chae would agree to a threesome with a man.

your lips were wrapped around your girlfriend’s perky buds, flicking her nipples with the tip of your tongue making her whine as she grabs a fistful of your hair. jungkook placed behind you with his hands on your hips as he rams into your pussy from behind. you could just imagine your soul leaving your body and watching the three of you go at it, how your body would react to the sight. just the thought makes you clench around jungkook’s cock making him curse.

your wetness milking his cock, pain and pleasure shot up your core, not really used to his thick length. you’ve had many things shoved up your pussy but not this big. it didn’t matter though, the taste of your girl’s boobs in your mouth and her below you as your best friend fucks you hard only makes you wetter, slicker as jungkook buries himself into you.

“you like having a dick in you huh?” chaeyoung drawled, tugging a bit hard on your hair to pull you away from her chest.

you nod, jungkook smacking into your walls forcefully after chaeyoung spoke, smirking as you squirmed in his grasp.

“such a whore. a desperate whore to have her pussy stuffed, hm.”

“fuck!” jungkook pulls out a little and rammed his cock into you so hard your head slams against chae’s chest, your tits swinging from the impact. his name tearing from your lips.

“jungkook!”

as chaeyoung watches you squirm above her, her own hand travels down from your hair to her center. using her fingers to gather her own arousal and spreading her lips as she uses her middle and ring finger to rub her clit.

“i’m-i’m only your whore chae!”

jungkook begins to fuck you hard, hands on your ass to slap your hips together, a rough pace that fucked an indent into your couch.

“fuck y/n you feel so good, so fucking wet.” he snarls.

you were so close.

“uuuumpphng..” you latched your mouth back onto your girlfriend’s tit, your orgasm crashed violently into you. it was so intense that it felt like your entire body was pulsating, your pussy clenching repeatedly around his cock, a mix of yours and his essence gushes down your thighs.

you hear jungkook groan as he continues to smash into you, his cock squirting one last time into the cum filled condom.

your chest shuddering at the sensation of him slipping out of you. you pull away from chae’s chest as you blindly lean towards her, kissing her soft lips.

you feel jungkook’s hot fingers curl inside your overly sensitive pussy as he scoops some of the juices oozing out of you, he swears he can feel his dick twitch at the sight of your reddened, swollen, glistening lips. his fingers hungrily are wrapped around his mouth as he moans from the taste.

“so fucking good.”

the sound of wet skin slapping was now gone, and you can only hear jungkook behind you catching his breath, you and chae kissing and the hentai porn that is playing on jungkook’s laptop. two women with big tits and thighs being stuffed outside on a beach by two other men with unrealistic big dicks. you knew jungkook was into hentai, you and chae occasionally watch hentai porn together when you both are really horny. jungkook was actually the one that introduced you to hentai when you walked in on him jacking off in his dorm a couple of years ago.

you feel chae tap your thigh. “lay down.” she instructs you. both of you switching places as she makes a home in between your thighs.

you whimper at the anticipation of your girlfriend about to eat you out. jungkook is sitting on the coffee table in front of the couch stroking his cock as he watches the both of you, not sure where he should put his eyes. on the hentai porn he put on or on his best friend and his best friend’s girlfriend who’re about to have lesbian sex. he’s got the real deal in front of him and not some silly little roleplay shit he watches on his laptop.

his dick hardens at the sight. it feels like he’s in a dream.

chaeyoung licks a fast stripe down your slit, making you hiss at the sensation of her warm tongue. you grabbed his head, pushing her pink hair back to watch as she sticks her tongue inside your pussy and wiggling it around in your hole. her dark brown orbs flicked upwards, amused at the sight of you panting hard, back curved as she eats your previous orgasm, licking you all over.

“mmm, taste so fucking good, baby.”

“thank you mommy.” you half-groaned and half-moaned, she shoves her tongue into you again, rubbing her nose against your sensitive clit. she slides up and begins to suck on it, licking in between.

driving you insane, you closed your eyes and tilt your head back, your ears slightly red from the man who’s masturbating watching you both, body trembling as you come into chae’s mouth. clit throbbig against her upper lip as her tongue slid down and curled between your folds, moaning into your pussy as she drinks you up.

breathing heavily, heart beat racing as you opened your eyes, watching your girlfriend lap up her meal as if it’s her last, swiping his tongue all over your pussy until you are squirming under him.

chaeyoung giggles menacingly, around her lips and chin are glistening from your juices.

“i’m not done yet, pretty girl.”

before you could stop her, because you seriously might pass out if you come for the third time tonight. chaeyoung grins, leaning back down to place a gentle kiss on your inner, bare thigh, your eyes fluttering closed at the gentle feeling.

chaeyoung pushed a single finger into you and began sliding in and out.

“my girlfriend is so cute..isn’t she jungkook?”

jungkook’s hand tightens around his cock as he starts to pump himself faster.

his abdomen rising up and down, he can feel himself being close to his release.

“y-yes, so fucking cute.”

chaeyoung smiles, “i know, my girlfriend is the cutest like this.” chaeyoung leans back down to suck on your clit as she pumps her middle finger in and out of you.

unconsciously grabbing the throw pillow that you didn’t notice you were lying on, gripping it as you whimpered.

“i want another, please mommy, i want another.” you panted out.

“another what?” chaeyoung purred, slowing down her finger pace.

you let out a whine, not liking how she wasn’t understanding what you wanted. how she wasn’t filling you up all the way.

“another finger, please!”

chae smirks, ramming a second finger in, thrusting them into you harder. you were squirming around on the couch, frantically reaching up to mess with your tits and nipples to add to the pleasure. the familiar knot in your stomach coming close.

you hear chae groan into your pussy, the lewd sounds of slurping as she shoves another digit into your core, deeper, all the way to her knuckles.

“chae...ahh..so good...”

the smacking sounds of your wet pussy were getting louder.

“yeah? my baby likes this?” a hint of pride in her sultry voice. “mommy thinks you look so fucking sexy taking three fingers like the good girl you are, hmm. pussy wrapped so tight around my fingers.”

you bite your lip, as you twist your perky, hard bud with your thumb and index finger. tugging on it.

“can you take four baby? can you be a good girl for mommy and take four fingers?”

jungkook is literally humping the air as he’s jacking off to chae eating your pussy. he finds this so hot and he’s going to burn this image into his brain for the next time he’s alone in his bedroom at night.

you’ve never taken four fingers. but you want to be a good girl for chae. you want to be a good girl for her. you want more.

you nod, tears prickling the corner of your eyes from the immense pleasure.

chae kisses and sucks on your clit before she adds another finger into you, fucking you harder and rougher now. you nearly choked and swallowed hurriedly so you could open your mouth again and scream her name. your hips rise to meet her hand, your wet walls clamping around her fingers, so close, so so close, so good. completely forgetting your guy best friend was watching all of this.

chaeyoung’s name kept falling from your lips and getting louder each time. so needy, so desperate, screaming you were going to cum soon. and you can feel it was going to come hard.

“cum for me,” chae purrs, biting her lower lip. “right now.” she didn’t have to tell you twice.

breathlessly calling her name one more time, pussy throbbing as you squirt around her fingers, squeezing them tightly and listening to her squeal at the sight. as she tells you how sexy it was, how pretty you looked coming, how such a good girl you are for her. your juices dripping down your girlfriend’s chin and chest.

head falling back gently, as your thighs are threatening to close around chae’s head. her fingers rubbing furiously and milking everything you got inside of you.

chae dives back down once again, slurping you up, ignoring how your body is squirming and wiggling from sensitivity but she was too strong and she was making you weaker by just her tongue. instead, you tangled your fingers in her short pink hair and pinned her down there until he pulled her fingers out and whined under you, begging to be free.

“trying to suffocate mommy?” she snickers, wiping her chin and licking it off.

you were too out of breath to say anything.

you suddenly remember you have an audience as you turn your head and see jungkook is in his own mess of cum and he’s lying on your coffee table in an awkward position. you notice his limp dick against his abdomen and spurts of his cum on his thighs and a bit of his chest.

chae goes into your kitchen and comes back with a wet paper towel to gently clean you up.

“catch your breath, pretty. cause we’re not done.” chaeyoung says cheerfully.

Starry Night (Chaeyu One Shot)

Just a little one shot for Chaeyu. This is also sort of a thank you for all the love "Memory Lane" has been getting lately, so yeah thank you!

This story takes place in the same universe as "Memory Lane", but will have no direct affect to whatever happens in the main story.

Tzuyu and Chaeyoung hung out quite often outside of school in "Memory Lane", but I never really elaborated on that, so here is what a Chaeyu date would probably look like. Enjoy!

“Starry Night”

I waited for Chaeyoung patiently and nervously, in front of the movie theater. I never thought I would be on a date with Chaeyoung. Well to be fair we never really agree that it was a date, and we aren't really dating yet, but I like to think of this as a date. After all, it is just the two of us. It didn't take long for Chaeyoung to show up. I saw her running up to me and I saw the wind blow through her hair as she ran up tirelessly to reach me. With each step she ran I could see her little backpack bounce off her back. It was cute, too cute, but I tried to hide my smile. I didn't want to show her how easily excited she makes me.

"Sorry I'm late! Were you waiting here for a long time?" She said exhausted.

"Oh no it's fine, I've probably only been waiting for five minutes."

"Oh that's good, the bus was late and there was a lot of traffic. I thought I was gonna be super late and I didn’t want you to be waiting for me for too long. Hey? What are you smiling about?”

Ahh she caught me.

“Nothing, the way you were running up here was just really cute. You’re really cute.”

I saw her face turn bright red as she looked away. She really was the cutest thing.

“Shut up, no I’m not. You’re the cute one here.”

My heart fluttered a little. I think that was the first time someone called me cute, that wasn’t my mom or some other relative.

“Ahem, well let’s go buy our tickets now?”

“Yeah of course, I’ve caught my breath now, we can go in.”

I saved enough of my allowance to make sure I could pay for the two of us. I couldn’t buy the snacks I usually wanted to buy, but it was worth it.

“Don’t worry about your ticket, I got it.”

“What? No way! I’ll pay for my own ticket its fine, really!”

“Don’t worry! I got this! You don’t have to worry about anything.”

It felt pretty good being able to take care of Chaeyoung. I wanted to make sure that she didn’t have to do much except have fun. After we paid for the tickets we went and took a look at the concession stand. Wow! These snacks were crazy expensive! I wasn’t sure if I could afford it.

“Pssst Tzuyu.”

I turn to Chayoung who points to inside her little backpack. Chips, candy, even two large sodas fit inside that thing. I couldn’t believe she managed to fit all that into her little backpack. She looks at me with a huge smile on her face, and looks around to make sure no one is watching and steals her goods.

“I knew food was going to be way too expensive in the theater, so I took matters into my own hands haha.”

“Wow Chaeyoung, I never thought you would do something like this, I’m glad you did though! Haha.”

We enter into our theater and there aren’t too many people inside, which was perfect.

We sat down in our seats and the movie was about to begin. I turn to Chaeyoung and she has a sneaky look on her face. She opens her backpack and passes me a soda. She then opens up a bag of chips and passes that to me too. We look into each other’s eyes and try to hold in our laughter. We finished the chips pretty quickly, and soon we moved on to the candy. I normally don’t eat this much junk food in one sitting, but since I was with Chaeyoung, I figured once in a while would be fine. After all, when I’m with her nothing seems bad. The movie was pretty interesting too, the main character was this really confident woman and I couldn’t help but think I wanted to be like her. I turn to Chaeyoung and it seems like she’s really into it too. I’m glad my choice of movie didn’t end up boring her. Halfway through the movie I feel something touching my hand. I look down and Chaeyoung’s hand is touching mine ever so slightly. My heart starts beating a million miles an hour and suddenly I can’t focus on the movie. Does she want me to make the next move? Or is this even a move at all? Maybe, she just put her hand there and didn’t notice that she’s touching mine? No, no way, if I can tell that she touched me, then she totally knew what she was doing. Take action Chou Tzuyu! I keep telling myself that. I move my pinky a little bit, just enough that it’s on top of hers. And then…her hand moves closer! Soon enough our hands are interlocked and I can’t control my excitement enough. I bite my lips so I don’t smile like an idiot. I take a peek at Chaeyoung and she’s doing the same thing. In order to get my heart and my emotions under control I decide to try to turn my attention back on the movie. I feel like I was focused on Chaeyoung and our hands for such a long time, I had no idea what was going on with the movie anymore. I look to Chaeyoung and she looks just as lost as I was which relieves me a little. After the movie ended we let each other go, it made me sad, but it had to be done so we could pick up our stuff.

“That was a great movie!” Chaeyoung exclaims.

“Yeah it was! What was your favorite part?”

“The part where you held my hand.”

My heart stops and I cover up my bright red face with my hands.

“Shut up, I wasn’t prepared for that.”

She winks at me and that just makes my heart flutter some more. After we get out of the theater we decide to get some ice cream. I get my ice cream and I take a look at Chaeyoung, and I notice that she didn’t order anything.

“Are you not going to get anything Chaeyoung?”

As I take a bite with my spoon, she looks at me confused. I put my spoon back in the cup.

“No it’s fine! I figured we could just share since you got a big cup.”

She grabs my spoon and gets a big scoop of ice cream and puts it in her mouth. I’m here thinking that she’s stealing my ice cream, when I suddenly realize, that she has my spoon in her mouth.

“Indirect kiss.” I whisper to myself.

“What was that?” Chaeyoung says as she takes another bite.

“That’s an indirect kiss Chaeyoung.” I say louder.

She takes a look at the spoon and realizes what I said, and she puts the spoon back and gives back the ice cream.

She looks at me red and embarrassed. I smile and laugh and take a bite of ice cream with the same spoon.

“Now we both did it.”

She smiles and we continue to eat and laugh.

After we finish the ice cream we take a walk around a park nearby. The night sky looks so beautiful. There was a surprising amount of stars out that night, considering that we lived in the city.

“It’s a beautiful night.” I said looking at Chaeyoung.

“With a beautiful girl.” She says back.

I push her away and run ahead. How does she say these things so easily all the time? Why do I fall harder for her every time? Chayoung runs up to me and gives me a smile.

“You’re the beautiful one Chaeyoung.”

She gives me a wink and says, “I know.”

We laugh as we keep walking through the park. I turn to her, and see her hand. I remember holding her hand in the theater. I remember how warm and wonderful it felt as I could feel our fingers squeeze tighter throughout the movie. I wanted to have that feeling one more time. Once again I tell myself, take action Chou Tzuyu! I grab Chaeyoung’s hand without having another thought, not even for a second. She looks at me surprised, but doesn’t take her hand away. Instead she smiles, and holds on to my hand even tighter than before.

This indeed was a beautiful moment, with a beautiful girl, under this starry night.

Reader x Chaeyoung - Getting Over It (Part 1)

TAGS: Fluff Oneshot With Chaeyoung

WORDS: 14,500 (exactly)

ENJOY!

===================================================

There was the sensation of falling; that rush of adrenaline when your heart jumps up to your throat and you brace yourself for impact. Blue engulfed around you, water constricting you as the current just pushed you down.

It was cold, consuming; your mind racing and your body fighting against everything the water gave.

You struggled out of it frantically, the salt of the sea burning your eyes, your heartbeat pounding in your ears.

You tilted your head up; your eyed burned yet the surface of the water and the sun's rays your only guidance as you tried to swim up.

The water was murky, more green than blue now that his eyes were fighting and closing by the second.

You looked above for the surface and saw only the faraway flicker of light now. You were so far down, too far down.

You kicked at the water, arms moving to help quicken his ascent, eyes darting through the foggy blue for any sign of anyone coming towards you.

There was the sound of a clock ticking, sharp and definite, chiming slowly in his ears as he swam through the water, deafening in its presence.

Your mind felt light, your body felt weak, your lungs burning for air.

The surface was so far away, and everything felt so heavy.

The sun streaming down through the water now gone as your eyes shut now.

The further he tried to pull her, the heavier he felt, the further the light seemed, and the more your chest burned.

Suddenly your mouth gasped trying to find air only for the saltwater to taint your tastes as your hand reached to clench your throat only for you to hardly move at all.

You weren't going to make it...

Your eyes softened, your body now in slow motion and your sight went black.

Any form of thought in your mind faded, and you were left alone under the water.

You gasped, sitting up in bed, the sheets twisted around him sticky with sweat.

Trembling you threw the sheets off of you and moved to the edge of the mattress, panting as he tried to catch your breath, as you tried to convince yourself you were above water, and that there was still air to breathe.

A few minutes passed before you moved to touch your face, wiping the sweat from your forehead and cheeks, the remnants of salty tears still lingering there.

You didn't want to remember that moment anymore, but you couldn't get over the water crushing you.

Yeah...you had a phobia of water.

Aquaphobia is the correct term.

And today was going to be a rough day.

Sighing, your pulse calmed to its normal rate and looked at your phone.

5:23 AM

You sighed since it didn't look like you would be able to go back to sleep.

Thank god it's summer vacation or else you would be tired as heck going into the first class.

You had a soft look at the ceiling, but you brought your hands up and rubbed your face in them.

"Damn...maybe it's a sign of not going today..."

Yeah...today was going to be a day for you.

You then went to grab your phone and AirPods from the bedside table as you turned your phone on, but the light was bright that your eyes closed a bit as you lowered the brightness with one eye opened.

Being the lowest brightness, you unlocked your phone and you gave a faint smile at the phone wallpaper.

AN: MiChaeng shippers enjoy, but imagine you with Chaeyoung in a pose like this

Your best friend, Son Chaeyoung.

A bright and energetic girl that you were lucky to call your best buddy since the first year of middle school.

No offense to the other girls in the group, but Chaeyoung was different from them. Well, they were all unique but Chaeyoung was one you were most compatible with.

And today she was coming over at noon for some hanging out time with you then going alongside with her to her home where you and the others will enjoy...her...new...pool in her backyard.

Upon hearing the news last week about her newly built pool and her plan of using it for the blazing summer and almost everyone in the group was excited...almost everyone.

You had an internal fight in you to say no, but she and all the others were very excited for it and you really didn't want to be the one that said no, especially since Chaeyoung was wanting you to be there the most being her best friend and all.

So you said you'll come and you'll have to be ready for it for her.

Besides, it's been years.

It could be a test if you will see if you really aren't afraid of water anymore.

"..."

You looked forward to your phone with the photo now gone and black screen instead, your fingers uneasily fiddling against the device.

You felt a feeling an uncomfortable tension in your stomach.

'It's just a pool. Besides, it's been a while anyway. I should be able to handle a short and innocent visit to a swimming pool. And Chea plus everyone is there so I should be fine.'

And of course, the nightmare was a great way to start the morning off, but you weren't going to change your mind about it.

For too long you had this issue and for too long you were embarrassed by it.

Today, you'll prove that water was not your adversary.

Nodding your head and shaking your thoughts from that dream, you pressed the Youtube app and you put your AirPods on to waste time and lift your spirits up.

'I need to get over this fear...you got this (YN).'

TIMESKIP

NOON

"Ha. How you like that~"

Son Chaeyoung was feeling both excited and nervous right now as she sang to her favorite song of BlackPink's new single 'How You Like That' to cheer her up a bit.

She was getting ready to go to your house for another get together like yesterday for a bit and then.

Only this time it was going to be just you and her.

She observed herself in the mirror as she applied just a touch of makeup.

Chaeyoung wasn't one to wear much makeup. Slight lipstick, mascara, and that was it and considering shut this was a special occasion.

She wanted to look very pretty for...well-

I'm a little monster nal geomnae

Neol gweropyeo nae kkumman kku-

Chaeyoung's ringtone of the new hit single 'Monster' rang as she noticed the ID and received a flat smile.

She was being called by her group of friends as Chaeyoung answered and put it on speaker.

"Hey." She spoke with a bit of uneasiness in her tone as she looked at the mirror.

"Hey Chae~" "Sup." "Morning~" Was the reply Chaeyoung heard.

"Hey girls."

"So? You ready?" Park Jihyo asked.

"Yeah. Today's the day," she answered as the others cheered.

"Finally!" "Yay!" "Yes!" "Told you Jeongie~"

"Yeah, I'm heading towards his place now," Chaeyoung added.

"You sound calm. You mostly would be panicking right now." Im Nayeon furthered as Chaeyoung looked down as she stopped her application and undid the speaker button and put the phone near her ear.

"W-well, I think it's been far too long now." Chaeyoung stammered and flushed with humiliation as if you were in the room.

"Hmm~ Maybe they already are together and aren't telling us~" Minatozaki Sana teased as Chaeyoung sighed. "I mean Mina and I 'hang out' last night and let me tell you it was-"

"Sana!" Myoui Mina stopped Sana before getting into detail.

"Girls enough. We're here to support." Jihyo's voice was heard again as Chaeyoung swallowed her embarrassment.

"Oh come on Jihyo, lighten up. Why you gotta be so serious all the time?" Dahyun countered. "No wonder you and Tzuyu are a couple. You two are a match indeed."

"What's that supposed to mean!? We're plenty of fun!" Park Jihyo's voice echoed as Chaeyoung pulled the phone back. "Right my Tzundere~"

"Stop calling me that..." Chou Tzuyu answered with a stale tone as Jihyo giggled.

"You know you love it~" Jihyo teased. "And Dahyun, we are a match indeed. We are the best couple after all~"

"Yah Ji! You know Mina and I are the best couple around!" Minatozaki Sana shared her opinion of her girlfriend, Myoui Mina. "Right Minari?"

"Sana-"

"That's a yes~" Sana cut of her girlfriend's voice.

"Sorry Sana, but I think Jeongie~ and I beg to differ." Nayeon's voice protested against Sana's word.

"Don't put us in this Nayeon." Yoo Jeongyeon's cut her words.

"Ehh?! You don't agr-"

MUNCH CRUNCH MUNCH

All the girls complained.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Why so close?!"

"Momo put your speaker off when you're eating chips!" Jihyo commanded as they all heard crunches overpowering their talk. "And keep your mouth close! This is about the billionth time we told you!"

"...You don't know that it's me." Hirai Momo questioned after a small gulp was detected.

"..."

"...Fine, it was me...Dahyunnnnnnnn! They bullying me..."

"Hehe, I'll make it up to you tonight Momo," Dahyun spoke up to cheer her girlfriend up.

"Yay~" Momo cheered up instantly.

Chaeyoung could feel the energy of the Momo's happiness...actually all of their happiness, well most of them anyway. Their fight against one another to see who was the better couple was amusing to her.

"Okay, let's get on topic, so Chae, are you really going to do it?" Jeongyeon asked.

"I hope so..." Chaeyoung answered while looking at her reflection.

"Okay okay, Chae. You got this." Sana encouraged.

"Still can't believe you're finally going to ask him," Dahyun questioned as Chaeyoung sighed.

"You sure you don't need backup? Should we make a plan?" Jihyo asked.

"Jihyo this isn't a heist. There's no need for a master plan." Mina quipped.

"Mina's right Jihyo, I can do it. I'll just...say how I feel when the moment's right." Chaeyoung mustered up the courage to say.

"Which should have been long ago." Nayeon pointed out.

"Didn't you take like a year to ask Jeong out, Nay?" Tzuyu affirmed.

"Longer." Jeongyeon corrected.

"You don't have to bring that up..." Nayeon muttered.

"Chae if you don't tell him today, we will." Momo brought her voice in as Chaeyoung panicked.

"Please tell me you're joking..."

"I'm not, right girls."

"..."

"You're all mean..." Momo complained once more.

"Momo. I love you, but we talked about this." Dahyun calmed Momo down, "this is Chaeyoung's moment. Like mine to you remember."

"Hmm...I just want to help..."

"You are Momo, thank you." Chaeyoung spoke up trying to lift the poor girl's spirit, "your encouragement is enough, all of you."

"Anytime Chae," Sana spoke followed by a chorus of agreements.

Chaeyoung pursed her lips as she hugged herself with one arm.

"I know it's nervewracking Chae, trust the four of us," Jihyo spoke up as she, Nayeon, Dahyun, and Sana agreed since they were the ones to ask their girlfriends out. "But trust us when I say this that it's the best thing that's happening to us four. Right girls?"

"Yup~" "Couldn't agree more." "Momo's the best~"

The other three agreed as the other four remained silent. But behind their phones, were smiles on their faces, even Tzuyu.

"And besides Chae, we all know that (YN) is very close to you. There is no way he'll say no to you." Sana added as Chaeyoung was thankful for the words and encouragement.

"Thank you girls."

"Of course, now when we arrive at your place, you two better be holding hands and official. Got it!" Nayeon spoke up.

"Yeah, I got it Nayeon." Chaeyoung nodded with little hope. "Alright girls, I'm about to leave so..."

"Oh okay. Good luck Chae. Everyone is rooting for you~" Jihyo's said as the others agreed.

With one last thanks, Chaeyoung ended the call and she was met with her lock screen wallpaper.

AN: Again like that other picture, imagine you and her but enjoy MiChaeng shippers.

Chaeyoung smiled at the photo.

How close she was with you and Chaeyoung wanted to be even closer like the other girls.

Yup, love was amongst the group of her friends.

Ten friends, four couples.

I mean, what are the odds of that right? Sounds like fanfiction if you ask Chaeyoung.

Sana and Mina were already an item long ago, but everyone knew since Sana was a bit forward with Mina more than everyone else and she just sealed the deal a few years back. Followed by Dahyun and Momo as Dahyun followed Sana's courage and asked Momo out, and to no one's surprise, Nayeon asked Jeongyeon a more recent and more surprising Jihyo asked Tzuyu out.

But even if they were dating, none of that deteriorated the group of ten's friendship with one another, and always there for each other.

And no, it wasn't because of the others dating. Chaeyoung liked you even before Sana and Mina hooked up.

Best friends in fact since the first year of middle school. Both were awkward back in that school and all of sudden you asked Chaeyoung if she would like to be buddies during lunch. And upon learning that it was just you, she agreed. Had it been a group, Chaeyoung may have declined, but she's glad she didn't.

Since then, it was just you and her until the last year of middle school, in which Dahyun and Tzuyu arrived and you four became friends as well.

Then the first year of high school where the four joined the same school and the rest of Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana Jihyo, and Mina was there as well. Suddenly you all became friends as well as Dahyun became friends with Momo and introduced the rest to the group.

Since then, it was you ten and now in between their junior and senior year, each of them was as close as they can be...well some more than others.

And since the last year of middle school, Chaeyoung has had a major crush on you. A very major one.

Chaeyoung wanted to be something with you as well. She just didn't have the courage to say 'Will you go out with me?' like the other girls. And the more and more she sees them all in love and happy, the more and more she sees you and her as something more as well.

She started to have butterflies in her stomach all the time (the most common feeling)

She tends to look at you ten times more to just look at you along with a constant fear of getting caught.

Chaeyoung would always ask how she looks to you and it always was a positive 'you look great or a compliment on her hair or clothing that would make Chaeyoung's mornings.

She would pretty much always be available for you. Any help you ask, or anything you needed, she'll be among the first ones to offer help. Of course, it was the opposite as well and Chaeyoung loved that you were there for her.

Just like you, she felt comfortable around you. Not to mention how you were: personality-wise and attitude.

There hasn't been a day that you and she haven't hanged out. Or it was, it would have been when there were really sick or when one was on vacation.

She had to admit, she'd had fallen in love and she was head over heels for you.

And of course, her crush was easily noticeable by the other girls as they approached her about it and she admitted it to them.

She didn't want to call you dumb, but dense and it hurt Chaeyoung that you didn't see her the same she saw you.

Her friends offered to help, but she would do it on her own...and hopefully that would be today.

Chaeyoung was up all night till midnight talking to Jihyo about courage and you and Chaeyoung decided that no more being scared.

She wanted you and today, she'll get you.

She looked at the mirror and gave a smile and encouraged herself.

'You need to get over this fear Chae. You got this, fighting!'

And with that burst, Chaeyoung cleaned up her makeup, got her phone, and texted you that she was on the way.

----------------

Hey (YN), I'm on my way

😄

Loading up Smash already

She smiled.

Good, you need the practice 😉

Hey I won the last session

Who won the three before that 😏

😞 Just get over here

---------------

Chaeyoung laughed at your response.

"Ah, (YN)."

And with that, Chaeyoung went to leave her home and to yours.

------------------------------------

TIMESKIP

TAP TAP CLICK TAP TAP

"So close..."

TAP TAP CLICK TAP TAP

"(YN) stop attacking from afar and hit me like a man."

"You want me to stand still?"

Both you and Chae were in the fourth battle.

She was using Ike and you were using Robin.

And as you can read, it was getting intense.

"Stop running away!" Chaeyoung yelled out as you grinned.

"Maybe if Ike wasn't so slow, he would actually hit me."

"How can you live with yourself by running away." Chaeyoung nudged you as you kept rolling to the left.

"It's called tactical retreating."

"It's called being a chicken."

"It's called-"

DING

You both eye the smash ball appearing.

Chaeyoung quickly went to the right of the stage to get it as you took the opportunity to charge Robin's Arc Thunder to the max to Thoron.

Ike went up to attack the ball, but being bad in the air, Ike couldn't do enough damage.

"Come on-"

THORON

BLAST

"(YN)!"

Thoron hit Ike head-on but did not send him flying.

"Oh, now you want to fight!" Chaeyoung spoke up as you chuckled and headed towards the smash ba-

SWISH

Robin went flying to the left and off the stage as you noticed Ike using his Quick Draw to zoom across the screen towards you both as it hit you rather than the ball.

"Argh Chae..." You grumbled then you were panicking as Ike smashed the ball, leaving him in a rainbow aura to use his final smash.

"Come here (YN)~" She taunted as she went towards you.

"No no no leave me be Chae!"

You used Gliding Elwind to get you back into the stage as Chaeyoung was waiting for the moment to use her move.

"No..."

"Yes!"

Ike got you as both were sent up into the air and...

"GREAT AETHER"

"Well..."

Ike sent you towards the ground and with over 100% damage...you were sent flying to the right and...

GAME!

IKE WINS!

"And that makes me the winner, yet again~" Chaeyoung smirked at you as you sighed and chuckled.

"Dang it...Robin is too frail. I hate doing randoms sometimes." You shook the controller as Chaeyoung smirked.

"Loser's excuses, next thing you're going to say is that you're controller is damaged right~"

You gave a pout.

"Well the A button is jammed-hey-hehe~"

Chaeyoung shoulder bashed you as you both chuckled.

"Fine. I'll admit, that was an intense match. You fought commendably, Chae." You smiled and patted your friend's back. "You're great with Ike. I think Pikachu might not be your main anymore." You said to your best friend as she smiled.

"I would always have Pikachu as my main. But Ike doesn't sound too bad as a heavy hitter, but you weren't so bad yourself," retorted Chaeyoung with a smile, "But you were decent with who you had as well...until I won three in a row~" Chaeyoung put up two fingers as you rolled your eyes.

"Alright, I don't need to be reminded..." The playful tease from her friend nicked your pride. "Okay so now that's done with, what are we gonna do now?" You asked.

Chaeyoung smiled at the answer. She loved how comfortable and willing you were to try anything with her.

You both just finished playing multiple matches of Ulitmate and now, to Chaeyoung's amusement, she thought her energetic and fun-loving best friend looked ready to throw herself at whatever next fun event they could come up with together.

'He's just so much fun...man we have thirty minutes before the others will arrive, maybe this is it.'

And Chaeyoung decided that this would be her chance...and upon thinking about it, her entire body was fluttering with anxiousness and butterflies.

'Just six simple words...that's it...'

"Uhm, before we do anything else (YN). I-I...I have to ask you something..." Chaeyoung self insulted herself at her stuttering as you gave a nod.

"Sure. Ask away." You proposed as Chaeyoung gave a lick of her lips. She tapped her controller as she took a deep breath.

"I uhm...I wanted to know if..."

You were watching Chaeyoung fidget a bit as she looked at her hands playing with the controller.

"If..." You repeated as Chaeyoung looked at you.

'Say it!!!'

"...I..."

There was a very awkward silence from Chaeyoung and she felt humiliated that she couldn't say what she desired.

"Chae, what's wro-"

"B-bathroom!"

Chaeyoung stood up and stormed out the door as you blinked at the sudden disappearance. She was out in a snap as you were contemplating following her.

'Weird...maybe her stomach is hurting? I'll go do something about that.'

---------------------------

SLAM

Chaeyoung closed the door as she brought her head back and impacted against the door as she closed her eyes.

'Stupid me! So stupid! Now I look like an idiot!'

She almost broke down at how embarrassing that was, she was so close and her nerves got the best of her.

'Why?! Why can't I say some stupid words?!'

Chaeyoung gripped her hands.

'Bathroom. I said bathroom...my god, how pathetic am I...'

Chaeyoung went forward as she sat on the toilet with the seat down as she brought her hands up and hid her face in them.

'Two years...it's been two years and I still don't have the courage to say 'I have feelings for you (YN)'...heck I don't even know if he likes me that way...'

She took a breath as she folded her arms and looked straight forward.

'...Maybe...maybe it's best this way. If I do tell him and he doesn't reciprocate my feelings, we'll be so awkward and I'll hurt so much that I probably can't be around him...and I don't want that.'

Chaeyoung stood up and stood in front of the mirror.

'Who am I kidding, I can't even take it now. He's all I think about.'

Chaeyoung took a look at herself.

'...can I really do this?'

Chaeyoung sighed.

'There's always another day I suppose...'

Chaeyoung took a look at herself: no smile, no brightness, no energy.

All she saw was a defeated and unfortunate girl.

'I'll say my stomach hurt or something...'

With a swing of her body, she went towards the bathroom door and went out.

Chaeyoung took a few steps back to your room, but she was as slow as possible and felt her whole being just swallowed in discomfort. It felt like gravity was weighing her body down.

She took a breath to face her best friend/crush once more as she was in reach of your door and took a step forward under the arch.

"(Y-..." She stopped as she didn't see you in the room. She had no idea where you went and honestly, she was content with it so that she can get some more breathing in. She stepped inside and sat on the bed, she felt like she was in the hospital just waiting for the doctor to come and give her a shot or something.

"Hey."

She heard your voice and Chaeyoung's head tucked in as she turned her head to witness you stepping inside with a teacup on a platter in your hands, "you alright?" She averted her eyes from you forward and nodded. "You sure?"

"...stomach ache." Chaeyoung uttered with little emotion. She felt you sit down on her right and she noticed you putting something in front of her torso.

"Knew it. Here, I made you this."

She looked down.

"it's green tea." Chaeyoung gave an investigative look as she looked back at your face. "I thought your stomach was hurting or something so I went and made it. It helps with stomach aches right? Or was it ginger?"

Chaeyoung's lips parted slightly and she couldn't help but smile at your kindness and thought.

Even after her laughable moment, you went to make this. Of course, you wouldn't question her antic.

This made it up slightly.

"(YN), that's sweet of you." Chaeyoung accepted the tea as you nodded.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Chaeyoung viewed the liquid as she felt the warmth from the tea seeping into her hand.

"Yeah, well...no, but it's nothing to be concerned about. Thank you (YN), I'll drink it in a bit."

"Hey don't say that. If you're hurt Chae, I'll do what I can. I'll go to the pharmaceutical to get medicine if you need it. You know I can help you with it right?"

'You have no idea how much you can help me (YN)...'

"Y-yeah, uh thank you (YN). But the tea is enough for me thank you."

Chaeyoung gave a soft smile back.

'God...he just gets better by the day.'

"Okay, but don't hesitate to tell me okay?" She nodded, "Well, I say you rest for a bit before we do anything okay." You ordered as she nodded. "...sorry, but before you left, did you want to ask me something?"

Chaeyoung stifled as she was back to square one now.

'What do I do?! What do I do?!'

She clenched the plate hard, almost to a point of breaking it as she looked at the tea.

"..."

"...Ch-"

"Us."

There is was.

"Us?"

Chaeyoung couldn't even look at you right now.

"I-I've been thinking and..."

'I can't...I can't do it...'

"Will we be friends after school is over..."

'Is that why she felt ill? Oh, Chae...'

"Because it's our last year?" You asked as she nodded. "Of course, we'll be still best friends Chae. Are you kidding me? I don't want to lose you."

Hearing those last six words gave Chaeyoung a smile and her spirit felt whole, but she was still feeling faint about not saying what she wanted.

"Don't you worry Chae. Sure not all ten of us will be going to the same University and Mina and Sana already have plans to leave the country as well. It's tough to hear, but as for you and me Chae, no way I'm leaving you okay."

"..."

"Besides, we're going to the same university...unless you're thinking of-"

"N-no I'm still going to (University Name) still...well if they accept me that is."

You chuckled.

"Chae, you're one of the top students in the school. (University Name) would be lucky to have you."

Chaeyoung looked at you as she gave a faint smile.

She didn't know her life without you now, nor did she want to think about losing you to some 'crush' she had.

She researched how a crush can be one-sided and so awkward for either one who rejected their feelings.

'Well...if I can't have him as a boyfriend, I guess being his best friend is better than not having him at all. How did the other four do this so easily I'll never know, but maybe it wasn't meant for us to be a couple.'

"...thank you (YN)."

"Of course...was this on your mind for a while?"

'You have no idea.'

Chaeyoung nodded.

"Aw Chae," you then wrapped an arm around Chaeyoung as her body felt warm by the touch, "Don't worry about us not being together. I am always here for you. You can drag me anywhere you wanna go. I will be there for you every morning, noon, and night."

"..."

Chaeyoung merely gazed at you, her heart swelled at even the most simple words about her...which is why she can't risk it.

'I can't lose you either (YN)...which is why I can't say my feelings yet...I can't risk losing you.'

Chaeyoung closed her eyes and sighed.

"Okay...thank yo-"

I'm a little monster nal geomnae

Neol gweropyeo nae kkumman kku-

Chaeyoung's phone rang from the floor of where she was playing as you went to grab it.

"Here you go." You handed her the phone without looking at the device as Chaeyoung saw the caller.

"Sana."

She answered the phone and held it up to her ear.

"Hey Sana..no still at (YN)'s.." She looked at you as you were playing around with the Smash menu. "Nope, not yet, but we're just about to head to my place," You turned at Chaeyoung who raised her brows and back, "..no not yet either..I know..alright I'll talk to you soon then." Chaeyoung hung up. "So I guess Sana and Mina will arrive sooner."

Your throat was caught up as you weren't ready for this quite yet.

"Oh, y-yeah sure. How come?" She shrugged. "R-right...okay, let me get my stuff then."

"Yeah, I'll meet you downstairs. I'll try to finish this tea on too." Chaeyoung spoke up as she went out the door with the tea in hand as you remained fixated on the door.

'Damn...I still feel tense. Even after all that with Chae.' You turned to your closet as you opened the door and from the bottom of all your shorts, you pulled out a black with silver stripes on the side swim trunks.

You bought some new trunks when you went to the mall with Chaeyoung, Jihyo and Tzuyu three days ago.

And no, your parents don't know about the pool.

You didn't tell them because they wouldn't let you go if you did, knowing how scared you got before.

'But not today. Today, I'll conquer my fear.'

You grabbed your trunks, a towel you took from the bathroom, and your phone and you quickly went out of your room and down the stairs to see Chaeyoung sipping at her tea.

"Ready." You said as Chaeyoung nodded and you both went out the door.

Along the way, you texted your parents, that you and Chae left early and were sorry for the sudden disappearance.

They responded with a 'have fun and it's okay'.

However, you weren't okay.

Your heart beat fast out of nervousness as Chaeyoung and you conversed with one another as you both walked there.

'I'll be fine...I'll be fine.'

------------------------------------------------------------

TIMESKIP

The scent of chlorinated water greeted Chaeyoung as she stepped into the backyard.

She smiled as she viewed the sizable, rectangular-shaped swimming pool filled with glistening blue water.

The water was still, but she planned to ruin that stillness with plenty of ripples, bubbles, and splashes with you and everyone else.

Sana said that she and Mina will be here in about ten minutes or so, but Chaeyoung and you would take a dive first as her parents will be in the living room.

Once everyone was there, her dad would start a BBQ for everyone.

It was going to be a great day...well...almost a great day.

With its slanting bottom, the shallow side of the pool was mere two feet deep, leading outward to the deeper area.

SLIDE

She looked back to you coming out and saw you shirtless as you cautiously stepped out and closed the door behind you in your bikini/trunks

Chaeyoung took a lengthy glance at you...wow.

This was the first time seeing you without a shirt on and it definitely showed that you took care of your body.

A lean torso and slight muscle in your arms, but no six-pack abs or anything, but Chaeyoung wasn't complaining.

She had to keep herself calm from the intense blush she was sporting and she thanked god that she could blame the sun for it.

"Looks...good." You said slowly as Chaeyoung gulped and realized she had been staring at your chest as she flat out turned red.

"S-should be fun." She said as you nodded. "Uh, you look good by the way..." She said timidly as you eyed her looking at you and then the pool.

"Oh uh, thanks...so do you." You spoke up as Chaeyoung smiled brightly towards the pool by the compliment.

She wore her newly acquired one-piece yellow bikini adorned with shorts, carrying a folded, light blue towel.

You didn't want to stare much, but Chaeyoung was no doubt a very attractive girl and in that outfit...jeez you sound like a creep now.

'She is pretty cute.'

"Thanks..." She responded as you sighed silently, staring at the water. "Alright, let's go."

Putting her towel down onto a seat under the patio, Chaeyoung stepped toward the pool, her bare feet moving so gracefully as she felt the water engulf her feet when she stepped onto the steps of the...enemy.

There wasn't exactly a deep end, considering how it only went up to what looked like seven feet.

Though, you set your towel on a vacant spot on the cement, beside hers as well.

"Nice and warm...alright then." Chaeyoung then went towards the left side of the pool and she leaped off the tiled floor and curled herself together in mid-air.

"Cannonball!" she yelled before she plunged into the water, splashing it into all directions. A few seconds later, she emerged and took a refreshing breath, wiping her wet hair away from her eyes.

The water felt perfect, not cold to be shaking and not too hot from the sun.

"Come on, (YN)! The water's fine!"

And that's one of the reasons why you envied and admired Chaeyoung.

She was free. And you? You were held back, shackled by... Fear.

Seeing her poke her head out, her eyes bright and full of life, the corner of her lips stretching from ear to ear...you felt the need to man up and get in that water. So you tiptoed ever so regardfully towards the water, the shallow end of course. You refuse to ever go near the deep end.

'No! I refuse to be beaten by damn water!'

She saw you shift your feet timidly, averting your eyes away from water. "G-give me a sec..." you said while rubbing your bare arms.

You inched closer carefully as you approached the edge as if you were standing before a cliff. Taking a deep breath, you dipped your right toes in.

Your foot, outstretched before you in a manner so awkward and graceless, just barely grazed the cold, unforgiving water, making you shiver and fear fall all over you.

For a moment, you swore everything got quiet, as if the world stopped, focusing solely on you, wanting you, taunting you.

Immediately, your muscles tensed up as if you were turned into a statue. Your breathing turned faster and shallower.

Oh god...how much more pathetic can this get.

And sadly...you did not notice Chaeyoung, who grinned madly while approaching like a lion to their prey.

"Gotcha!" Chaeyoung roared as her hands shot up from the surface and took a steady hold of your arm, tugging at it hard.

Your eyes went wide as saucers as she pulled your foot into the water.

Her forceful pull gave you a vision.

Your body felt light and you literally felt that you were underwater.

Your subconscious relived the terror of lying at the bottom of the ocean, surrounded by the cold and liquid darkness that drained your warmth and life.

The sensation of safety disappeared, turning into terror.

"NO! STOP!" Your protests fell on her quickly as she let go and had an astonishing look.

However, upon pulling your foot and not thinking Chaeyoung was going to let go, you fell backward on your butt as you felt the cement.

"(YN)!?" Chaeyoung quickly swam to you as you backed up from the water. "(YN)!?" She hurried over to her crush, who now cowered on the edge of the pool with your arms around your legs and face buried between knees, mumbling incoherently.

Chaeyoung kneeled down and placed her hands caringly on your trembling shoulders. "(YN), (YN) breath, slowly," she repeated.

You flung your head up from between her knees. "I-I can't-I-I can't..." you muttered in between your rapid and short breaths.

The alarmed gaze from your wide-open eyes did not seem to be even aware of Chaeyoung's presence.

Hearing and seeing her best friend and crush act so strange was terrifying.

Unreal.

Nightmarish.

"It's okay! Calm down! (YN)!" Chaeyoung yelled and gave you a shake that had little to no effect. Instead, she leaned closer and placed her palms on her cheeks. "(YN), look at me! I'm here!"

Her firm, yet caring words finally reached and snapped you out of your panicked state. Your erratic, (Colored) eyes became still and gazed into Chaeyoung's cautious light brown ones.

You then threw your arms around her and hugged her so hard as if life depended on it.

Chaeyoung did not understand what just happened, but you holding onto her was reason enough to act without question.

She did her best to support you as she helped you stand up on a pair of wobbly legs. Once they stepped away from the pool and towards the shade underneath the patio roof, you suddenly threw yourself to a nearby seat and hugged the pillow on it.

Chaeyoung, confused and worried, looked sympathetically on in silence.

Chaeyoung quickly went to her towel nearby and sat down next to you and wrapped a large light blue towel around you.

While a moment of uncomfortable silence passed between them, Chaeyoung was still trying to comprehend what had just happened.

She thought she scared you at first, but now looking at you, it was more than that. An overwhelmingly powerful sensation of fear had gripped you and rendered Chaeyoung stricken with terror.

It was scary and uncomfortable for Chaeyoung to watch someone so brave and headstrong act like that.

That's not the (YN) she knew.

That's not the (YN) she loved.

"(YN)...." muttered Chaeyoung carefully, breaking the silence. "A-are you okay?" She asked with a more gentle voice, full of concern.

You sighed in defeat and held your pillow closer to your body.

Your breathing went back to normal as you shook your head.

"...I-I'm sorry..."

Chaeyoung was startled at your apology as she leaned forward to see your diminished eyes.

"Don't be."

You shook your head as Chaeyoung frowned and her hand went on your arm as you closed your eyes.

The hair on your neck stood on its ends, sending off a peculiar sense of familiarity down your spine. When you turned your head to the left, you found that a very concerned and awfully close Chaeyoung had been perched there.

You couldn't have Chaeyoung be apologetic for anything she didn't know or do. She merely wanted you to have fun.

You sighed.

"...Water...is a phobia of mine."

Your statement made Chaeyoung more curious, as well as more concerned.

"Phob-" she echoed. "Oh..." she repeated and briefly looked at the still water in the pool.

A word popped up in Chaeyoung's head: Aquaphobia.

Chaeyoung looked back at you, holding onto the pillow for dear life, as her arm on your arm was now around your shoulders and leaned closer to you.

"Oh god...(YN) I'm so sorry. I never would have-"

"Don't blame yourself, you didn't know." You cut her off as Chaeyoung viewed the side of your face.

That's right, she didn't know.

She should have thought, you were best friends for years now.

"How long?" she asked carefully, not wanting to pressure you.

"Since six. I had an incident long before we met."

You uttered as Chaeyoung's frown intensified.

"(YN)...it must have been horrible." She stated as you nodded. "God...why (YN)..."

You looked at Chaeyoung and you felt worse for her.

"W-why didn't you tell me. Us...I-I never would have brought you," you looked away in regret, "why didn't you tell us when we planned this? Even leaving your home, sure it would have been sudden, but I would have understood (YN)." Chaeyoung softly asked, but in her, she knew that she wasn't one to say that.

Even she had a secret of her own about you.

You shrugged.

"Cause it's a joke..."

Chaeyoung didn't like that answer.

"Why would you think that (YN)?" You raised a hand in a scoffing manner.

"Because it's water. I can't handle water Chae...it's stupid." You glared at the ground.

That hurt Chaeyoung deep, but she needed to get you off this drop.

"It's not (YN), everyone has their fears. The other eight and I would never think that you're stupid (YN), not at all. You're the opposite of that. Who cares if you're afraid of water?"

Chaeyoung mustered a small smile of support as you looked at her.

She did gain some positive back as you gave a soft smile that she needed.

"...I'm sorry, it just...it gets to me. And I thought I could...sigh"

Your words caused guilt to swell up in Chaeyoung's chest.

'Stupid me...'

You then stood up without Chaeyoung's help, albeit slowly, as Chaeyoung stood up and held her arms out but not touching you if you were about fall or something.

You took another deep breath to gather yourself.

Chaeyoung kept some time observing you, who was looking forward but not paying attention at all.

Your gaze was distant, barely even blinking.

You had extensive wounds in your spirit that had never been fully healed and then were brutally reopened unwittingly by this.

Granted, she didn't know and while that's true, she should have seen the signs of you avoiding coming here and getting in the water.

Chaeyoung shifted into the towel and took a deep breath and exhaled slowly while looking forward at the pool.

It still looked so unreal, to see you in such a state, it felt like you were in a nightmare that you were trying to wake-

"Chae," Chaeyoung swiftly turned her head at you and you back at her. "I want to thank you for comforting me just now. I'm sorry for ruining the evening for us," you said sincerely. Chaeyoung's mood dropped slightly. "I know what you're thinking, but please, it's not your fault. It'll never be your fault. Don't blame yourself, it's hurt me more than what happened."

Chaeyoung didn't know how to take that as her lips parted slightly.

'That hurts more?'

"I don't want to see you down Chae okay? It doesn't feel right to see you down."

"...Well same to you (YN). Seeing you like that scared me." She said back as you gave apologetic look.

"I'm sorry."

Chaeyoung was figuring out what to say in her mind...only interest and questions were all she had.

"...It is any form of water?" She asked.

"..."

Chaeyoung figured she overstepped her boundaries.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

She looked forward to the pool.

"It was any form of water." You answered as Chaeyoung's looked back at you as you remained how you were, "After...an incident, I couldn't stand water anywhere around me. Even drinking water was making me feel sick. Some talks and exercises and after some time, I got used to bottle water. Showers were...difficult as well, but I'm good at those now. That's it. I had swimming lessons to get over a large amount of water like a pool, but whenever I got near water like that my vision goes fuzzy and I get visions of that day. I've never gone into baths or pools or anything else that contains quantities of water since then, till now."

Chaeyoung caught that word but she shook her head.

"I can't imagine how horrible it must have been."

"Yeah...it was." You stated as Chaeyoung felt ill and her face showed it.

"...and I can't believe I almost pulled you into a night-"

GRASP

She then felt you scooting closer and placed an arm around her shoulder as she looked at your hanging arm and then at you with a warming smile that made Chaeyoung feel slightly at ease.

"Don't beat yourself up Chae. It's my fault for not telling you in the first place. Besides, it's been so long that I thought I could do it. I guess I was wrong," Chaeyoung gave a look of disapproval.

"That's really stupid (YN). What makes you think you can handle a pool with no help?!"

You ignored her outburst as you shrugged.

"It's been so long Chae. I thought I can handle it."

Chaeyoung couldn't feel more miserable as she clenched onto the towel.

"(YN), please tell me that you don't have attacks like that when you're taking a shower?" She feared that you might have attacks like this each day forcing yourself.

"No. I promise you I don't have panics like that. What happened now was the most intense one since...that day."

Chaeyoung felt bad but she didn't want to show it.

"...well, as long as you're alright after-"

"Hey~"

You both turned and both Sana and Mina arrived, holding hands.

(AN: Just pretend they are in their swimwear)

"Hey you two." You raised a hand up as they waved back.

"Wait (YN)." Chaeyoung brought you close and whispered in your ear as Mina and Sana looked at one another.

Sana raised her brows as Mina gave a smile.

"Just tell them. It doesn't matter now anymore." You spoke as Chaeyoung nodded.

Both Sana and Mina looked at each other.

"Oh~" Sana sounded as Chaeyoung looked at you for a bit before looking at the two.

"(YN) has aquaphobia."

The two's smiles dropped and looked at you.

"What?" "Eh?"

You nodded.

"Wait, you're afraid of water?" Sana asked as you nodded again.

"Then why did you come here?" Mina asked.

"To get over it, couldn't do it." You simply said as their shoulders dropped.

"Aww." "(YN)."

"It's fine. I'll just stay out of the pool." You waved at them as Sana shook her head.

"But without you, it's not going to be that much fun (YN)." Sana said as Mina nodded.

"I'm not leaving Sana. Just go in the water and I'll...uh...help your dad or something." You turned to Chaeyoung as she frowned.

"Maybe we can do something else?" Mina said as you sighed.

'This is why I didn't tell them...god if only I could do this.'

"Girls, it's fine. Just go in the water and have fun." You stated as you leaned back in the seat as they looked at you, "please." You added as they gave a second to think.

"...okay." Sana said as Mina nodded. "Come on Mina, let's check the pool." Sana pulled Mina towards the pool as Chaeyoung stayed a bit.

"Chae, please." You said as she sighed.

"..." Chaeyoung stood up, ", but we're talking about this after okay?" She said as you nodded.

Chaeyoung then went towards Mina and Sana as you cursed mentally.

'I ruined this...'

------------------------------------------

TIMESKIP

HOURS LATER

Soon all the girls arrived and you told them about your phobia when they questioned why you weren't in the water.

You told all of them that you thought you can do it, but it didn't go so well as they had the same reactions as Sana and Mina as they each wanted to do something outside of the pool.

You thanked them, but you shook your head as they all felt bad and you could tell the energy wasn't all there.

You blamed yourself for having this fear and for ruining each girl's time.

Chaeyoung's parents came out with food and they learned as well as they said sorry about it as they asked if you wanted to help them instead.

You nodded and you spend the time helping the father grill or the mother set up the table and place utensils.

Each girl in the pool had you lingering in their minds, Chaeyoung the most. But each of them had a slight bit of fun but felt bad that they weren't ALL in the pool.

After a delicious lunch, you all decided to watch a movie in the living room to let the food go down and for you to have some fun as well as they all agreed.

Chaeyoung got a spot near you and noticed that you had some laughs, for which she was grateful, but she still had that vision of you being terrified in her mind.

She hoped that the movie would help, but nothing so far.

The four of you were under the doorway of the front door, saying goodbye to Jihyo and Tzuyu, the last pair to leave for the night.

"See you Chae." Jihyo waved at her as Chaeyoung waved back.

Jihyo then turned to you and hugged you as she whispered.

"Sorry about your phobia (YN)."

She leaned back and you saw the concern in her eyes as you smiled and shrugged.

"Thanks, Ji. I'm sorry for not saying something sooner." She nodded.

"It's okay (YN)," Tzuyu said from the side, "we understand."

"Wow, a rare sincere moment with Tzuyu?" You joked as she rolled her eyes. "Thanks, Tzuyu." You said after as she gave a smile and nodded.

Tzuyu then looked at Chaeyoung.

"Good night Chae." She waved at Chaeyoung as Chaeyoung waved back.

"Night Tzu."

Jihyo then grabbed Tzuyu's hand as they both walked out into the driveway towards Jihyo's car as you shut the door.

You knew what was next as you turned to Chaeyoung as she was staring at you.

'Great...'

"Well, that was fun huh." You tried to lighten the mood but...

"Not really..."

"Chae-"

"It's a stupid thing to not tell me (YN). I care about you. You know you can talk to me about anything. Just like you said at your place."

You sighed, knowing that she knew you well enough was difficult to get past that you were okay.

"I understand and truly appreciate your concern, Chae. But I assure you, I'm fine," you said, smiling thinly.

Chaeyoung, however, saw right through your fake smile. Your answer only drove her to continue, harder. "No, you're not! And don't act like everything is okay. Not with me. I'm not dumb (YN)." The tension resonated in her voice.

You remained resolute, with Chaeyoung's words glancing off of your conscious. "No you're not dumb Chae, I would never think that way of you. But I can deal with it on my own. Don't let my problem burden you."

Chaeyoung felt the frustration rise within her. What you said conflicted with who she was and what she believed in.

"How can you say that? Since we met (YN), we've helped each other no matter what. You were there for me and I was there for you. Each and every one of our problems, we," she pointed at you and her fast, "solved together (YN). Aren't we supposed to help each other when we're in danger? When we need someone to talk to?" she asked with a lesser tone as you felt each sentence hit you.

Chaeyoung held her ground with piercing eyes. Making you upset was not her plan, but the words were now out in the open.

She then stepped forward and took hold of your forearms and looked deeply into your eyes. "You can't go on like this, (YN). You need help. Please, let me help you get over this." she begged, praying that you would see reason.

Her softened tone melted what resistance you had, and allowed Chaeyoung's words to reach your heart.

"Chae...I've had talks with psychiatrists and help from my parents. Even if I let you, who knows how long it'll be before I can ever get 100%, if I can..." you looked away, "the way I see it, I don't want to waste your time and effort for something that's a lost-"

WHACK

Chaeyoung then you and punched your shoulder as you held it with the other hand.

"Chae? What the he-"

"Who are you?" She asked suddenly as she had a glare on her face.

"..."

"That's not the (YN) that I lo-...that I know." She caught herself in time, "that's not my best friend (YN) (LN). The (YN) I know wouldn't give up so easily." You rubbed your shoulder as you looked away, "And I don't care about how long it takes. Just like the years prior, you helped me many times, more than I can count, from the simplest to the most complex. I know we might not get over this in a few days or weeks, but I will help you out (YN), no matter what and I know that if I had this issue, you'd do everything you can, like any problem that I had, to fix it."

She then went to place her hand over your hand on your shoulder as she patted it and she saw you looking at her now.

"(YN), I don't care. Even if you see nothing out of it, at least I want to see some partial success. If all you can get is the water up to your chest, then that's a success in my books. I'm no expert when it comes to this like doctors or psychiatrists, but I need to help you out. I didn't like what I saw yesterday and I can't help but think about you like that now. I don't want you to be like that again...not again."

Her lower lip trembled while she futilely choked back her swelling sadness. The sight touched your heart.

"At least a week. Please, just a week. I know I'm no experienced doctor or swimmer or anything to help, but I want to help you (YN)...please?"

She looked up with some begging eyes again as you sighed.

What have you got to lose?

Chaeyoung knows and it's not like this will take away your time if it's with her.

And who knows? Maybe it'll help...maybe?

"Let's take it slow please."

Chaeyoung took a quick jab forward and threw her arms around you, hugging you dearly.

"Of course we will! Thank you (YN)! I won't let you feel nervous." Her smile and her cheerful voice returned.

After a moment of peaceful silence passed with the two of you embracing each other passed, you asked, "So, what then? How are we going to proceed?"

Chaeyoung smiled.

"Tomorrow, we're going back to the pool." She saw your smile go to a frown, "but don't worry we won't do anything too fast. We'll take our time and ease in okay?"

You took a deep breath.

"Okay. Thanks Chae."

"Don't worry (YN), I'll be with you all the way."

"You better." You gave a smile as Chaeyoung smiled at your first-looking one that she loved seeing. "Alright, better head home then. I'll text me when I get home."

She nodded.

"Yeah, text you later (YN)." You nodded as you headed out the door and Chaeyoung closed the door and gave a fist bump in the air.

"Alright, time for research."

-----------------------------------------------

TIMESKIP

THE NEXT DAY

"Chae, I'm not sure about this," you told her, glancing at the water nervously.

"Trust me (YN). You got this."

You pulled your bottom lip between your teeth and Chaeyoung couldn't help letting her mind wander of how cute your scared expression was, as wrong as the moment to think about now.

"(YN), look at me." You turned to her as she gave an encouraging smile. "I promise you that I'll be right next to you step by step. Even if all you get is a toe-in, then that's an accomplishment and we can head out." She said as you stared at the water and then her...and nodded.

"Okay."

"I'll be here the entire time," she promised you; placing her hand in yours so you know that she was there. She noticed you looking down at your intertwined hand and she was happy when you gave a small smile at her and tightened the hold as well.

"Thanks Chae."

"Don't thank me yet (YN), step by step okay." She said as you nodded. "Okay, so I did some research, we'll start slow and get you used to water merely around your foot for about five minutes before reaching your knees."

"You researched?" You asked, with amusement in your voice but your eyes showing gratitude.

"Yes. You sound like that's so hard to believe?" Chaeyoung always did do anything she could to help her friends and the way to help you was no different. Telling you why she did something would keep your mind at ease.

"Well..."

Chaeyoung then shoulder bashed you as you chuckled and she giggled.

Your smile largened and shook your head, turning towards the pool. "Alright, so what do we do first?"

"Well, some sites suggested sitting with your feet in the water for a while, get used to the feeling and temperature."

You hummed but didn't argue.

It told her the fear of going into the water was greater than your will to fight her on this.

You stood tense and your hands were clenched into hers, but she wasn't going to complain or tell you to ease up. Chaeyoung then stepped up and turned to you and ran her other hand down your arm, hoping to reassure you.

"No pressure," Chaeyoung told you quietly, leaning close. "If you don't want to do this, we can leave now and do it in another hour or so."

She got a tiny laugh from you and looked into your sight as you shook your head. "I-I got this."

"Good," she managed to say, stepping back slowly into her original position. "Okay. One foot in."

"I-yeah. Okay."

Chaeyoung moved to the pool and stepped down on the first step. Both her feet submerged into the water. Chaeyoung looked up at you hoping she could convey your emotions before it got too much for you.

"Is it cold?"

"No, it feels nice." She then leaned downwards and used her free hand in the water and gave a few drops of water over your feet. "Feel it?"

"Yeah...okay." You moved a little closer and dipped one right toe into the water.

She could see how tense you were and added some assurance.

"Don't worry. I'll get you out if you fall."

You glanced at her and nodded quickly, slowly lowering your right foot. Chaeyoung noticed you, submerged your right foot into the same step as her.

"Great! Okay, not bad right?"

You shook your head. This was the easy part since you've already done this and are somewhat used to water by taking showers.

"Not bad no." Then Chaeyoung noticed your other foot, not as quickly, but submerged your left foot into the same step as her. She noticed your chest breathing in and out and figured that you weren't on dry land anymore, despite being one step away.

"Great. Good job (YN)." She waved your held hands a bit as you nodded.

"What do we do after this?"

"We'll do whatever feels right. I'd say this is already good, but the next step is going another step and that's to your knees."

"Knees..." You mumbled.

"It doesn't have to be the knees, but the internet wasn't all that clear on the specifics. The site just said to go slow and only as far as feels safe," she explained to you. "But I thought we could use the steps." She gestured to the stairs they were standing on. "When you get used to the water we can move down one further."

"So we would move further in every ten minutes or so?"

She shook her head. "Don't give yourself a limit. We have the whole afternoon and night, you can move on, or not, whenever you want to."

"Chae, I can't do that to you. Surely you have some-"

"Hey, I got nowhere to be. Besides, as long as it's with you (YN), I don't care what I'm doing."

She smiled at her statement and saw your lips part slightly for some seconds before it turned to a smile as you nodded.

"I don't know what I did to get to know you Chae." She hummed, "you're the best you know that." You spoke up as Chaeyoung's smile furthered as she heavily enjoyed hearing that. "I swear to you that I'll repay you in any way after this for you, even if this doesn't work out. No if's or but's. If there's anything you want me to do, I'll do it."

...That got her thinking.

Oh, Chaeyoung can think of one thing she wants from you...no, no not that you smut-minded readers...and now thinking about it, she thought that maybe...maybe it was time to conquer her fear as well.

"There might be something...but for now let's focus on you." She saw you struggle for a few moments before he nodded slowly. "Don't push yourself (YN) okay."

You didn't answer and stared into the water.

"I think we can move down one more step."

"Sure?"

"Yeah. Just don't let go."

"I won't," Chaeyoung promised.

She moved her hands further up your arms. Chaeyoung was now almost hugging your arm and she could see how nervous you were. "Don't push yourself (YN)," she murmured.

She saw you gulped as you nodded your head.

"Y-yeah, maybe not yet."

She rubbed your arm.

"That's even better. You didn't force yourself to do so."

You nodded.

Chaeyoung stepped back and you stayed still, your eyes now on her. "We'll wait as long as you want." She whispered as you both stood there.

-----------------------

ONE HOUR LATER

Your gripping sensation of fear was replaced by another, powerful, and negative emotion, the one of shame.

"I'm sorry." you self-reproached and buried your face against the palm of your right hand.

"No need to apologize. I know you're trying your best," said Chaeyoung and then sat down next to her.

For the next hour, you had willingly exposed yourself to the very substance you feared as a means of treatment. Chaeyoung had stayed with you as support. It was a brittle task, littered with risks.

Maybe about seven times, you stepped out and back in only to step on the first step as Chaeyoung stayed with you throughout the hour.

And now it was the eighth time as you two were sitting under the patio once more.

It wasn't a bore as you both just played a game on your phones and back out into the pool.

Chaeyoung didn't complain one bit. She knew it wasn't going to be easy.

"We both knew this was going to take time," reminded Chaeyoung. "But I am curious about something. How did you manage to shower without panicking?"

You gazed at her.

"What makes you think I didn't panic?" you questioned with a thin smile. You took a breath before starting to explain, "The first time," your voice faded, followed by your gaze faltering. "didn't go so well." You chose not to go into details of what had happened.

You assumed Chaeyoung understood.

"I realized my submersion into the water had affected me more than I initially thought. Over the course of several weeks, with some discomfort I might add, I taught myself to tolerate showers. Ever since then, I've done all my showers as quickly as I could while avoiding getting water in my face, my weak spot. It's much harder this time though." You eyed the pool.

"Well, a pool is one thing, showering is another. So how did you get over showers, maybe it'll help in the pool?"

"My parents would tell me: "Don't think too hard about it (YN). Think of something else. Something that soothes you; calms you down. Close your eyes and think of whatever makes you feel relaxed," you finished off as Chaeyoung nodded. "And I'm trying to think, but a large amount of water is something else." She nodded as you took a deep breath. "I didn't tell you when my phobia started huh," you told her quietly.

"I said you didn't have to tell me. You still don't have to."

"I think I want to," you said slowly. "Might make it easier to move on."

'Like a psychaitrist.'

Chaeyoung shifted her body to you.

"I'm all ears."

You glanced up and took a shaky breath. "As I said, I was six and my parents and I went out to a family reunion. A weekend at a beach resort. I remember being very excited about that." As soon as you mentioned 'beach' Chaeyoung got the feeling she knew where you were going with this, but she hoped she was wrong.

"Second day, we all went down to the beach to hang out and have a BBQ while the adults cooked and drank while the kids went swimming. A cousin of mine and I swam for a while. We weren't far out into the beach, but this huge wave came out of nowhere and engulfed me and dragged me further into the ocean. I guess he managed to stay put, I wasn't lucky..."

You met her eyes for a moment but quickly looked at the water again.

Chaeyoung shuffled closer and now had a grip on you. She couldn't imagine what it must have felt like to be under the waves. She felt so sorry for you and wished you never went through that.

After taking a drawn out-breath, your gaze sank to the floor, your voice a mere whisper.

"I tried swimming up, but my body was weak and...I felt so cold."

Chaeyoung even felt your hand formed into a grip, being squeezed so hard it was almost painful to see.

"The currents just held me down and...my body gave and I felted forced to take a breath..." You paused again, swallowing hard.

The heat from Chaeyoung's body was being drained as she concluded what had happened to you.

Chaeyoung felt so cold as if ice had surrounded her and had an uneasy shiver roll through her body and she felt sickened that she made you feel that way.

From the sound of it...you...almost...

Chaeyoung couldn't imagine.

She didn't want to even talk about this anymore.

"Miraculously, I woke up on top of the beach and coughed up water. From what dad explained, it took three people to find me and pull me up. Help shortly arrived and after that, I remember again waking up in the hospital. I haven't gone into any sort of large water since that day. When my parents tried to get me to go to swimming lessons a few years later I completely panicked and refused to go in and they gave up eventually. I talked with a psychiatrist and while the talks were nice it didn't do anything to the actual water."

Chaeyoung felt ill about you almost...she wouldn't have known you at all. And that hurt her a lot.

"That's a horrible experience to go through," Chaeyoung murmured. "After that, I'm surprised you're handling this so well."

You gave a shrug.

"Well, it helps a lot that you're here. Thank you Chae."

"Of course (YN). I'm always there for you." She said.

"I'm there for you as well Chae." You returned.

She smiled as you stared at the pool.

"You have no idea how much I want to beat this." You trailed in lower volume.

"And we will (YN)." Chaeyoung gave some optimism. "One step at a time, literally. It's a huge win that you're even in a pool, we can work on swimming later."

"..."

You gazed at the pool as Chaeyoung kept a smile while watching the side of your face.

"..."

You turned to Chaeyoung.

"You no idea how much this means to me Chae," you said softly. "I wish I could help you with something in return."

She stared into your beautiful eyes and wondered if this was it.

Her heart was frozen and all the alarm bells in her head went off, because if she said what she could also lose the best friend I ever had.

"...well when I need something, I'll call you," Chaeyoung told you quietly.

"Sure. Anytime and anywhere, I'm there for you Chae," You stated as Chaeyoung smiled. "Just tell me when, where, what it is and I'll do it."

Now, here and ask me out would be the answers Chaeyoung wanted to give, but now wasn't the time for her.

"I'll keep that in mind (YN), now then...ready?" She asked as you nodded and stood up.

Chaeyoung did as well as you both headed towards the pool.

Chaeyoung was a bit proud that you were at least trying to do this.

Conquering your fear...which is what she should be doing as well.

This lead Chaeyoung to think of her fear of telling you how much you mean to her...maybe when this is over or when you get over this...maybe she'll tell you, but right now, she can't think about that now.

You need her and she'll be there for you.

----------------------------------------------------

TIMESKIP

The ambiance of clinking utensils, clattering dishes, and her parents' voices resonated throughout the sizable room, mingling together with all kinds of aromas of dinner on the table.

Chaeyoung, however, was resting her head on her hand while eating slowly. As hard as she had tried, she simply could not find the appetite to finish her dinner.

Even her favorite and delicious crab had tasted bland and remained half-finished.

Things didn't advance as you couldn't even go another step as you moved out and in four more times as you decided to call it quits; Chaeyoung agreed with no complaints and headed inside to play some more Switch.

You were not the only one who felt bad for the failure within the pool earlier. Chaeyoung wished that things should have gone better, but she could not say that to you.

It was her duty as a best friend and as her crush to help you stay motivated and optimistic, however, Chaeyoung felt it was partially her fault that the treatment had no work.

Her phone rested before her, silently taunting her. How easy it would be to give a call to all her friends and ask them to come help. Maybe the eight others could be more of a help than her, who felt inadequate.

An urge swelled within her as she reached for her phone and unlocked it.

After tapping the screen a few times, the texts of the group if anything they were planning with all of them were brought up. Her finger hovered over the keyboard...but Chaeyoung shut the phone off.

'No, I want to do this alone. At least for a bit.'

Still, she felt she wanted to talk to someone. She needed to...and she looked up to her parents.

Parents know best right?

"Mom? Dad?"

They turned to her; dad chewing and mom with a smile.

"Yeah honey? Is the crab not well?" She asked as she noticed the half-eaten meal, Chaeyoung shook her head.

"Oh it's great, but it's not about the meal. I wanted to ask you both something. Do you have any phobias?"

Her parents exchanged confused looks. The question was odd and unexpected. "Phobias?" her dad repeated as she nodded.

"Why do you ask Chae?" Her mom asked back. "Are you afraid of something?"

Chaeyoung shook her head.

"Not me. Uh, it's (YN)." She admitted and her parents had an intrigued look.

"(YN)?" Her dad repeated.

"Yeah, he's afraid of water."

They gave a longing look.

"Aquaphobia?" Chaeyoung nodded. "But wasn't he here for the party?"

"Yeah, and he was today too right?" Her dad added.

Chaeyoung looked down.

"Yeah...I learned about it before the party started. And I was wondering if any of you know how to deal with it?"

Her parents softly smiled.

'Of course she wants to help him.' Her mom thought, however, she didn't want her daughter to be too involved in something personal.

"Honey, phobias are a delicate matter. I understand you want to help, but you know that they don't go away quickly right?"

She nodded.

"I know that mom but I still would like to help him, even just a bit." Chaeyoung placed her hands on her thighs as she shifted her vision at her mom and dad. "We even started today and I think it went well."

Her dad looked at his wife as she looked back.

"Well, we just stood on the first step leading into our pool. My plan was to gently let him go down each step until he felt comfortable or uncomfortable enough to leave."

"Does he have it bad?" Her dad asked as Chaeyoung remembered you crawling out the pool. She looked at her hands under the table.

"I did something very stupid and it caused him to have an...incident." She muttered with a guilty tone as her parents were concerned.

"Did he get hurt?" Her mom asked as she shook her head.

"Not physically," Chaeyoung answered as she looked up at her mom's stare. Her mom saw the guilt and hurt in Chaeyoung's eyes, "he freaked out. It hurt to see him like that."

"Ah sweetie. I'm sorry. And don't blame yourself." Her dad spoke up as her mom nodded.

"So that's why you want to help him?" Chaeyoung nodded. "Well, it's great that you're willing to help Chae," her mom looked at her daughter, "but if he really has it bad, don't you think that you're putting too much pressure on (YN) to confront this? You shouldn't try to push him into something he isn't comfortable with."

Chaeyoung gave a flat smile and nodded, the image of you cowering was something she hated to see and know that you force yourself to do so and no one around was scaring her.

"I know that, but he wants to do this mom. He told me himself. And I want to help him with this, even if it's a tiny bit."

Her mom fiddled with her lips a bit while in thought. She didn't want to say no to Chaeyoung wanting to help her best friend, but phobias are something to not take lightly. It's-

"I used to be terribly scared of the dark because of monsters." Her husband cut her thoughts off as she looked at him looking at Chaeyoung, "when I was maybe six or seven, my friends and I watched this monster movie and the creature in it was terrifying to me."

"It took a toll on me and even with a night light, I begged my parents to check for monsters under my bed or in my closet for it. I even wake them up in the middle of the nights to tell them to check again after hearing strange noises," he looked at his wife who had a wondering look, "and after what seemed like the millionth time to wake them up in the middle of the night to deal with it, my dad realized he had to help me in a different way. So, one day he led me into our basement, which was as dark as it can be with no lights or windows which only made me more in fear, but he sat me down on the lowest part of the stairs, went back up and from the top of the stairs he picked up a small flashlight, turned it on, and shut the main lights off and the door."

The more he talked, the more curious Chaeyoung grew to hear the rest of the story.

"I begged him to take me away after a while since I was so scared that it will come out." His words vividly reminded Chaeyoung of how you had been paralyzed from fear. "But he told me that there's nothing to be afraid of and to start talking to him. It took a bit, but I started talking about episodes of my favorite cartoon. He started to talk back and I forgot that we were even in the dark basement. He told me afterward about us staying for an hour already and I was surprised that it never came and he showed that it never will."

Both of the girls were surprised, shocked even to hear how dark his story suddenly turned. Her mom gave her husband a disapproving look. "He made you stay in the basement? Knowing you were scared!?"

"Well it worked." Her husband defended his actions, "Each day after that, we sat there in the basement for an hour and just talked. More and more, my fear of the monster lessened to a point where I was able to sleep at night alone and with no worry. I even picked up on some cool flashlight hand shadows with him." He did some hand symbols and it seemed that he was copying from Naruto or something.

Chaeyoung nodded as her mom stared at her husband. She hasn't heard of this story.

"That's pretty much what (YN) and I am doing, just standing there. So just keep doing it then?" Her thoughts were in words as her dad gave her a nod.

"Hey if it worked for me, it should work for him. Take your time and keep an eye out for him. And Chae, don't get your hopes up for an entire cleansing, remember that."

She smiled and nodded.

"Ne! I know we can conquer his-"

RINGTONE

The three looked at her phone; a picture of you and her showed up.

"Hehe, speaking of (YN)..." Her dad pointed at her phone as Chaeyoung gave a sheepish smile.

"Uh, do you mind if-"

"You can finish your dinner in your room, but bring the plate back." Chaeyoung thanked her and picked her plate up while getting some more food on her plate and quickly rushed up to her room with her phone in her pocket. Her parents chuckled at her leaving swiftly. "She really likes him doesn't she?" Her dad said as his wife nodded.

"Badly. Reminds me of you at high school." She poked fun at him as he rolled his eyes, "you think her helping him is a good idea?" She asked as he gave a wondering look.

"You don't think so?"

She didn't shake or nod.

"I don't want her to get her hopes up. I know phobias can last long and some are more in-depth than others. I just hope that (YN) isn't that deathly afraid of the water."

"Honey you know that once Chae puts something to the task, it's like a steel trap. I'm sure that even if we said no, she'll do it regardless. Especially with (YN). Besides, it's not like she's going to force him into the water, she'll handle him with care. Don't you worry. Besides, it helped me tremendously.

His wife sighed and looked at where Chaeyoung disappeared to.

"I suppose you're right. But I'll talk with her about this in time..anyhow, "she looked at her husband, "about your story honey, seems a bit drastic don't you think?" He gave a shrug. "...What was the monster?"

"...Don't laugh," she nodded as he sighed, "...you know the Exorcist?" She gave a stare. "Look it was scary at the time okay."

She smiled.

"She was indeed. Are you still afraid?" He shook his head.

"Now the movie's just boring and weird."

"Good. I'm glad you conquered it."

"I'm glad my dad helped...I should call him." He added as his wife smiled and thought about Chaeyoung.

'The things we do for love ones.'
