Promise - Twice’s Mina
Tumblr media
Twice’s Mina x F!reader
“What the fuck is wrong with you?!” the voice of the man in front of you echoed in the empty hallway. “Stop rejecting me in public, it is ruining both of our images!” he shouted once again, grabbing your arm.
You just turned your face to the side, afraid of getting hit due to his anger.
It has been almost two weeks since your company released a statement regarding your “relationship” with the man in front of you, two weeks since you had to act as if he was the love of your life. 
The idea came from your manager, after Dispatch took pictures of you and your actual girlfriend almost kissing in your car. They traded those pictures with the exclusive statement of your “first public relationship”.
“You’re hurting me,” you said, afraid of him.
The man groaned and grabbed his hair. “You’re not going to ruin me, Y/N!”, he grabbed your shoulders and shook you.
“Stop! You’re hurting me!”, you almost pleaded one more time.
“You’re not going to ruin me!”
“She said stop!” a voice coming from the other side of the hall shouted, “Get out before I call the police!” she continued, showing her phone with the emergency number ready to be dialed.
He took a step back, glanced at the girl that just arrived and then glanced at you again. 
“You better do your part well,” he whispered, before stomping out bumping his shoulder to your girlfriend’s as he passed by her. 
A tear rolled down your cheek when he was finally out of sight.
Mina ran towards you.
“Shh,” she said, embracing you, bringing your head to her chest. “He’s gone. I’m here with you now,” she whispered in your ear trying to calm you down.
You sobbed, when did your life become this?
“How did you get here?” you asked when you stopped crying.
“I drove here when I saw you leaving with him,” she confessed. 
Even if the company had forbidden her to be around you, she knew you would need her. Neither of you trusted him.
“Thank you,” you said, hugging her tight.
She simply nodded before taking the key of your purse and opening your apartment door.
“Stay with me,” you asked her, pulling her inside. “We’ll come up with an excuse tomorrow for the company”.
Her face saddened at the thought of how you were being treated just for falling for each other.
“Promise me we’ll always find a way,” she whispered, cupping your face to press her forehead against yours.
You nodded and left a kiss on her lips. “We will”.
“Promise we won’t let them tear us apart, we’ll fight back at every chance we get,” she continued, her lips trembling as a tear rolled down her cheek.
“I promise, my love,” you answered, hiding your face on the crook of her neck, “we’ll find a way”.

Mina’s Pregnancy
Tumblr media
TIS (66-68)
* Decided to put some of these chapters together to make easier to read. My parts are on the top and @coldfanbou ‘s comments are on the bottom. Easier to read both to understand. Hopefully this is easier to read.
Chapter 66:
Yes, it's weird how their minds work. They have spent so much time together (especially Jihyo) that she would sacrifice herself for her members. This takes a toll on you since you are just one person and now a father of two. The only safe space you have is with your baby Jisoo. You spend your time looking at Jisoo as you see the picture of all the members with Jihyo in the middle holding baby Jisoo. It's still unreal how you are a father to a beautiful child. You want to protect her and watch her grow. A week goes by, and you take mina to the ultrasound appointment. Mina is nervous to know the well-being of the baby and the possible gender. She lies on the table as the new nurse does the ultrasound. She looks confused as she moves the object around Mina's belly. The nurse steps out for a bit and says that she will call the head nurse. Mina is beginning to get scared as she doesn't know what's going on and why the nurse is leaving. You also ask yourself what's going on and try to comfort Mina.
“I'm going to be worried too, but I'll hold Mina's hand and tell her everything will be alright. Thoughts race through my mind, maybe Mina's having twins or something good, surely that must be it. I couldn't bear to imagine something being wrong with the baby.”
Chapter 67:
The nurse and the head nurse arrive and see that Mina is crying. You are holding her hand and can feel her hand shake. The head nurse tells her that since this is a small clinic, they don't have the equipment necessary to provide the correct results. She says that there are times when pregnancy has some complications and want to run some test to make sure they are correct. They recommend you to come back in two days, and they can have the equipment shipped and ready for another appointment. You help her out of the office, and she is crying softly. As you are driving her back home, she is holding on to her belly and is softly rubbing it, and you could hear her mumble some words but can't make it out. You arrive at the house and help her to her living but she says that she just wants to take a nap. You help her to her room, but Sana tells you she can take it from there. She spends the rest of the day in her room and has dinner brought to her as well. You try to talk to her, but the members tell you that they will talk to her. On the night of the second day, Mina calls for you and asks you if you could cuddle with her until she falls asleep. You agree and hold from behind while having one hand on her belly. She falls asleep, and you end up spending the night holding her. You have aloof thoughts in your mind and wish for the best. What do you think might happen?
“I'm thinking of all the possibilities, but I'm hoping it's something good, maybe the nurses just got confused and couldn't do their job right. Mina's been well taken care of, there's no way there could be something wrong with the baby. I'm just hoping that when we go back the nurses will be able to tell us that everything is alright with our baby.”
Chapter 68:
It's the next day and time for the appointment, hoping for some good news. All the girls (OT9) are here and are in support of Mina. They tell you to call them if anything. You drive to the doctor, and there is no wait. It is the head nurse attending to you and she tells you both that everything is set and ready to take some tests. It takes 1- 1 1/2 hrs for tests and tells you to wait in the room assigned to you. Mina is hooked up to IVs because they drew blood and ran tests than might tire the baby and the mom. They bring both of you lunch, and you wait. After 2 hours, the head bourse comes to your room and says that the doctor will read your results and answer any questions you or she might have. They pull out a monitor from the wall and show you Mina's ultrasounds. They tell Mina her overall health and say that she is expecting twins, twin girls. Mina is overjoyed while you are shocked. The doctor says that the first nurse was able to detect two heartbeats but also detected a foreign object which caused her to call the head nurse. The head nurse had some suspicions of what it could be but asked for an additional test to be run to be certain. The test demonstrates that during pregnancy, there were three embryos, two were developed in a timely manner, while the other embryo was not able to develop correctly. As the pregnancy continued, the embryos /fetuses took nutrients from the third and fully absorbed it. This condition is called the vanishing twin syndrome, and it occurs when a patient has twins, triplets, etc. Mina gasps, and you can see that she was holding back from crying. The doctor continues and says that there isn't a reason for why it happens or a way to prevent it. The doctor tries to make sure Mina understands that it is no way her fault or the twin's fault on why the third was absorbed. Mina asks if the baby felt anything or if it was in any pain. Your heart hurts as Mina is an emotional and caring person to the point that she sometimes cries for others instead of herself. The doctor says that since it didn't develop major organs, there was no pain. He gave an example of an egg being fertilized versus one not being fertilized. Mina seems to understand and tells the doctors that she needs time to think and process things. They leave and tell you to call if needed and to take your time. You try to talk to Mina, but she is deep in thought. You think to yourself about what just occurred and what to do next. *How did you feel and what should be your reaction?
“On the one hand, I feel happy that we are having twins, but I also think about how Mina is handling knowing that she could've had triplets. Knowing that she's going through a lot, I just want to hold her hand and be there for her. I decided, however, to gently hold her face and have her look at me before saying it's okay. I'll hold her for as long as I have to, so she knows she doesn't have to bear this burden alone.”

I can only be me when i'm by your side - i'm not a monster.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As time passes recovering, you've seemed to found your place in Jihyo's arms.
Tumblr media
cw: fluff, smut, angst, petnames, virgin!reader, sweet girl!jihyo, popular but not so popular!jihyo, basketball player!jihyo, both are 18 but they are students, mentions of death, drunk confessions, they fall in love pretty fast, lwk rushed, lmk if there is more ^_^, ~ 4k words
if you're thinking "hm! i read this fic somewhere... yes! its my heeseung fic from my bg blog @adorwoo ! which i wanted to use for jihyo !^_^ hope you enjoy anyway.
men dni.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not your...
Is it really?
The rain beats down on your black umbrella, the lines from Dahyun's letter playing over and over in your head. It feels like you're trapped in a vicious cycle, not being able to think of anything else.
But why?
Why didn't she tell you?
Were all those conversations about the mutual trust between you two a lie? Was it just talk to keep you from worrying?
If someone had told you a week ago that you had to be at her funeral because she had killed herself, you would have laughed at that person. Dahyun was always the happiest person you've ever met.
Even if you had been told that a day ago, you wouldn't have believed it. Because in theory, it's the stupidest thing you've ever heard.
In his letter, she wrote about how much she loved you, how she enjoyed every minute and every moment with you, how it's not your fault that she's not here anymore.
She's probably right, not just probably. She's right, and you know it. But you can't stop blaming yourself. Someone has to take the blame. Someone is responsible.
You could have helped her.
You should have helped her.
Tears run down your cheeks as you stare at her grave. Her family, her friends, they are all gone. You stand here alone, not daring to leave.
'Kim Dahyun
Born on may 28, 1998.
A friend, daughter and lover.
She will continue to live in our souls.'
It feels like your eyes are glued to the writing, you can't look away. You try to regulate your breathing, taking a deep breath.
A sigh leaves your mouth as you place the white rose next to the gravestone.
You take one last look at her grave before turning and slowly walking away.
-
"I'm Y/n, nice to meet you all."
You look at the students in front of you, all of them giving you strange looks. Of course, you are a new student, but you feel uncomfortable under their gaze. The teacher smiles at you and tells you where to sit, next to a girl called Mina.
It's as if everyone has forgotten about you again as the teacher starts teaching. You sit down next to Mina and she smiles at you.
"Nice to meet you," she whispers. You smile at her.
You can't talk to her for long because she starts taking notes for the lesson. You look around at the faces of the others. It actually looks like a normal class, but your eyes land on a girl.
She looks shorter than you, her hair is brown as well as her eyes. She's wearing a white t-shirt.
"Have you laid your eye on someone?" asks Mina, laughing a little.
"No!" you answer, a little too loudly, and you put your head on the table as a few people look at you. "I was just looking at her," you whisper.
"Yeah yeah... that's what they all say" she says.
You slowly lose yourself in your thoughts as memories of Dahyun come flooding back.
Should you even look at other girls? Is it bad?
Would Dahyun hate you for trying to find love again?
It's been more than two months since she died, but you can't stop thinking about her.
Maybe it's normal, your behavior. Your overthinking of everything, maybe you're not the only person who feels this way? Maybe there is someone else who is just as lost in their thoughts as you are.
Maybe you are simply not alone.
However, your thoughts are interrupted by the bell and Mina.
"I can show you a few things here at school if you want," she suggests, and you gratefully accept her help.
You spend the whole lunch break running after her while she shows you around.
"Why did you change schools anyway? Your old one is a pretty well-known one, and much better than here," she asks, before taking a bite of her sandwich.
The question makes you wonder, and you think about whether you should just lie to her and say that you moved, or that you were somehow bullied at your school - but somehow it feels wrong. Because you neither moved nor were you bullied. No, everything was actually fine.
Actually,
Somehow everything changed after her death.
Your classmates started looking at you funny, and you still don't know whether they are looks of pity or looks of condemnation because they blame you.
"I don't know" is your answer, and somehow it's true. Sometimes you really have no idea why you changed schools, but Mina doesn't need to know the whole truth.
She just nods in response as she continues to eat.
"The girl you were looking at in English, her name is Jihyo by the way" she says.
What?
"Why are you telling me this?" you ask.
"Because you were staring at her a lot - you looked really interested in her" she replies with a little grin.
"How many times do I have to tell you, I wasn't staring at her..." you laugh a little, but can't hide your despair. Why does she think you're interested in her?
-
"Watch out!" someone shouts, but before you can react, a basketball hits you.
You fall to the floor, your head hurts and you feel slightly dizzy as you slowly open your eyes.
The girl from your English class is kneeling on the floor in front of you, looking at you, trying to see if you're okay.
It's like a cliché high school movie.
"Are you okay?" she asks, a couple of other girls come over, but she just tells them to get something to cool off and shoos them away.
The things that can happen when you want to visit the gym...
You nod slowly, after a few blinks your vision is no longer blurry.
Another girl comes back and hands Jihyo a cold pack.
"Here, take this," she says and puts it in your hand, her hand on your shoulder to support you.
You hold it to your head, biting the inside of your cheek slightly from the cold.
Before she can say anything else, she is called by his coach, at the same moment Mina comes to you.
"I was looking for you," she says and helps you up.
You watch Jihyo jogging across the field before you leave the gym.
-
New week, new luck?
Every day you tried desperately to talk to Jihyo somehow, but suddenly she was always gone after class and you were never put in a group together.
But it looks like luck is on your side for once.
"Here's the list of groups, you have to give a presentation in pairs on a play of your choice," your English teacher announces.
You look at the picture projected on the wall.
Chaeyoung and Mina,
Sana and Miyeon,
Jihyo and Y/n,
Jeongyeon and...
Wait, what?
You read the list again and once more you see your name and Jihyo's name next to each other.
"Jihyo and Y/n," you say quietly.
"Are you happy?" Mina asks teasingly with a grin on her lips.
"Are you happy that you have to work with Chaeyoung?" you ask back - Mina doesn't answer.
Before your teacher can give you any more homework for the break, the school bell rings and everyone rushes out of the classroom.
You walk (or rather, run) to Jihyo who is packing her things away.
"Hey, I was wondering when we should meet," you say, and she looks up at you and smiles. You feel your cheeks turning red.
She puts on his backpack and stands up.
"How about Friday afternoon? My place?" she suggests and you nod.
She takes a pen from her pocket, "Give me your hand," she says, you are confused but do it anyway.
She opens the pen with her mouth, the cap between her teeth as she gently writes on your hand.
Her phone number.
It feels like she's giving you an autograph.
"Text me and I'll send you my address," she says, and before you can answer, she walks out of the room.
You look down at your hand and see a little smiley face next to her number.
You can't help but giggle as you look at it.
-
You stare at your phone - up to her front door and back down to your phone.
You are 10 minutes early and don't dare to ring the doorbell.
"You know you can just ring the bell?" someone asks you, you look up and see Jihyo smiling at you.
"I'm early, that's why-"
"Not a problem," she interrupts you.
She lets you in and closes the door behind her.
Her house is beautiful, modern and yet somehow old-fashioned.
"My parents aren't here, so I thought we could study in the living room," she says, and you nod, leaning your backpack against the table.
"Water?" she asks and you take it gratefully.
You drink a little before she sits down across from you.
You both leaf through the books, take notes, talk briefly about certain passages, but otherwise no one says anything.
Jihyo decides to break the awkward atmosphere.
"I wanted to apologize again, for the basketball," she says, and you laugh a little.
"You don't have to apologize, things like that can happen," you reply.
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?" she asks, and instead of answering, you are completely silent, thinking.
Memories of Dahyun come back while Jihyo looks at you and waits for your answer.
"Yes, I did, but she died a few months ago," you answer.
She nods slightly, "Can I ask how he died?" she asks in a quiet, polite tone, as if she really wants to make sure that she's asking something that doesn't hurt you in any way.
"Suicide," you say, short and meager, without many details (whether you know many details at all is another question).
She looks at you with a supportive look, one that makes you feel like she's really listening and that she really understands you.
Maybe she understands you even more than you think?
She puts her hand on yours with a slight smile.
"Thank you for confiding in me," she says, your cheeks slightly flushed, hers too.
You both look at each other for a moment before she lets go and you both go back to work.
-
If only the work had gone on for longer.
After the one meeting, you saw her every day of the vacation. Always with the excuse that you supposedly "need to add something" (does going to the movies together add something to your project?).
It's been more than a week since you first met.
"You're in love," Mina says as she parks her car in front of Jihyo's house.
"I-"
"Don't even try to find an excuse, it's all good" she replies with a small grin.
You both get out of the car and walk to her house, the music so loud you can hear it several meters away.
How Jihyo, who is slightly drunk, hears the doorbell is also a mystery to you.
"Hey guys!" she greets you, she shakes Mina's hand and gives her a kind of high five, she gives you a hug.
You smile at her as the three of you walk into the living room.
"I'm going to Chaeyoung," Mina whispers, or rather shouts, in your ear before disappearing.
"Y/n, do you want to play a drinking game with us?" asks Jihyo, you nod.
Maybe it was a stupid decision.
Jihyo and her friends (of whom you only know Jeongyeon) only understand drinking games to mean taking shots and asking stupid questions.
Either answer - or drink.
You always chose the second option.
After about 7 questions (maybe more, maybe less - you lost count of that pretty fast) you get up and say that you need some fresh air.
Since you've been to her house several times, you know where the upstairs balcony is.
It's quite big, with a parasol and two folding chairs. You sit down on one and close your eyes, your head throbs a little.
"Are you okay?" someone asks after a few minutes.
To your surprise (not really a surprise), Jihyo stands next to you before sitting down on the chair to your right.
"Yeah, it's just the alcohol," you say.
You and alcohol, not really a good combination.
Especially not when you're sitting next to the girl you're in love with.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" you ask out of nowhere.
She shakes his head, "I thought it was obvious" she says and laughs a little.
"I love you" you confess.
She turns to you, but before he can answer anything, you keep talking.
"I know we haven't known each other that long... a month?? more? less? but-... I just have this feeling with you that I only used to have with her"
"I thought I'd never feel it again," you say, a tear running down your cheek.
Jihyo looks at you, her eyes slightly watery.
Is she crying too?
"Y/n" she says, interrupting your continued rambling.
She gets up, kneels down in front of your chair, and -
kisses you.
Her soft lips on yours.
She pulls away after just a few seconds and you already feel like you miss her lips.
"I love you too Y/n" she says softly.
You look at her in amazement.
"Really?" you ask.
"That's why I asked if you had a girlfriend" now it all makes so much more sense.
She pulls you up and takes you to the guest room. She tries to lay you down on the bed but you pull her with you and she falls on top of you.
You both stare at each other and laugh a little.
"You're drunk, get some rest," she says, kissing your forehead.
"I'll be here when you wake up"
-
And she really is next to you when you wake up.
"Good morning..." you groan as you rub your eyes.
She smiles at you, "good morning" she says, from the look on her face you suspect she woke up just a few minutes before you.
You pull her closer to you by her collar and kiss her, she kisses you back while her hand is on your cheek.
The kiss is just perfect, gentle, slow, a perfect way to start his morning.
But it can also be perfect in another way.
It gets warmer under the covers as you continue kissing, she kisses down your jaw to your neck, leaving a trail of wet kisses on it. You can't help but rub your thighs together a little.
"What about the others?" you ask.
"I kicked them out yesterday after you fell asleep" she says, continuing to kiss your neck, even nibbling on it, making you let out soft moans.
"Jihyo, I think you should know that I am a virgin" you say, your cheeks heating up a little in embarrassment.
She giggles a little, kissing you on the lips again.
"Nothing to be embarrassed about baby" she replies with a smile.
She gets on top of you, continuing to kiss you.
You think kissing Jihyo is the best thing in the world.
Her hands trail over your body, giving you a soft squeeze here and there.
"Can I?" she asks, her hand playing with the buttons on your pants.
"Please" you answer with a smile.
She complies and opens them, pulling off your pants and leaving you in your underwear.
You sit up a little, your hands on her waist, feeling up her muscles, especially her abs.
"Want me to take it off?" she asks, you nod.
She pulls off her shirt over her head, dropping it somewhere on the floor.
Your finger trails up his stomach to her bra, looking at her like she is a work of art (she definetly is one).
"Done admiring me?" she asks with a teasing grin, to which you reply "never".
She leans down again, kissing your face as she starts to trail them down till he arrives at the waistband of your underwear.
"Can I?" she asks again, "yes" you answer, already out of breath.
She takes your underwear off, her hands placed on your thighs as she leaves kisses everywhere.
You can definetly tell that she has a thing for kissing.
When she places a kiss right on your clit though, you let out a small moan.
She begins licking and sucking on it, making you grab her hair with your hands as your fingers curl deeper into her scalp, leaving a delicious burn.
She drags her tongue down as she circles your core, slowly entering it a little.
You let out more moans as you turn your head to the side, moaning into the pillow.
Her tongue feels so good when you realise that you are closer and closer to your climax.
"Jihyo- I think I'm gonna-"
"Let it out princess" she mumbles against your core, the vibrations of her voice stimulating you even more as you cum into her mouth.
She smiles at you as he sits up, watching you coming down from your high.
You smile back at him as your cheeks turn red again.
"Can I?" she asks, her fingers trailing down your soft skin as her nails scratch you a little.
You look at her hand, a few veins poking out, her fingers thin but long.
You look at her again, nodding.
You pulled her closer as she rubs your clit with her fingers, you suck in your breath as she slowly pushes them in, the little stretch burning in a way that makes you even hornier.
She slips them in completly, you let out a moan in response. She takes your hand with her free one as your fingers intertwine.
She starts to slowly thrust into you, kissing you again as her tongue explores your mouth.
"You're so tight baby.." she mumbles into your mouth.
You can't help but let out louder moans when she starts to speed up a little.
Her fingers drive you crazy, it feels like she is everywhere, you feel her everywhere in your body as she exits and enters you.
"P-please jihyo- faster" you moan out, and who would she be if she wouldn't listen to your wishes?
She speeds up her thrusts, kissing down your neck again as her hot breath hits your skin.
Your hand grips the pillow your hand is laying on, moaning against your arm as you can feel Jihyo curling her fingers.
She thrusts into you again before you moan loudly, cumming as your thighs close around her wrist, panting heavily as she lets herself fall onto the spot next to you.
You both stare at the ceiling, the only sounds the heavy breathing from you.
You move her hand to yours and intertwine your fingers. She moves her head to the side to look at you, smiling.
You think seeing her smiling is something you can never get enough of.
-
Idiots in love, thats how you two can be described.
The next few months were full of love. Kisses here, kisses there. It didn't even have to be sexual, no, it was always romantic, no matter what you did together.
After a few months, she gave you a ring.
"One day I'll buy you an expensive, real diamond ring and ask you to marry me," she said, and since then you've both worn the matching rings without taking them off once.
If only it had stayed that way.
It's late at night, you're lying in bed reading a book when you get a message.
"I love you,
I'm sorry" - from Jihyo.
You sit up and stare at your cell phone.
"What's wrong?" you type and send the message, she replies,
"I can't take it anymore"
She can't take it anymore?
You feel a twinge in your head as you suddenly realize something.
It's too similar to Dahyun's goodbye.
"I can't live in this world anymore" she wrote in her text.
You look at her location, and without hesitation you walk, no - storm out of your apartment and run to her.
She's not far away, a bridge situated over a river only 5 minutes away, and you think you've never been so grateful for anything.
You squeeze your eyes shut, trying to see anything while your clothes get wetter and wetter, the rain completly drenches you.
Again it feels like a cliché love drama.
Only maybe this time you have the chance to have a happy ending.
Your legs are burning from all the running as you arrive on the bridge.
"Jihyo!" you shout, the rain pattering loudly on the asphalt, forcing you to shout even louder for her.
Her bike is right next to her, one leg over the railing, her hands gripping it tightly, as if she's...
Scared?
"Y/n?" she answers, her voice low and shaky.
"Please..." you say as you walk slowly towards her.
She doesn't stop you when you take her hand in yours.
"Why didn't you tell me?" you ask, she looks at you as a tear runs down her cheek.
"I-... I didn't want you to worry. I thought this feeling would go away if I didn't talk to anyone about it," she says.
Whether your face is wet from the rain or your tears, you don't know.
"Believe me, you have to talk to me, then it will get better," you say.
Her face comes closer to yours and, without answering, she kisses you.
You kiss her back, try to grab her so you can hold her closer - but she lets go.
Completely.
You slowly open your eyes, afraid of what you will see - but you see nothing.
No one.
The rain completely overwhelms you.
"No..." you whisper, looking down on the floor and picking up something shiny.
Her ring.
You look out over the railing and see the water turning slightly red.
It feels like you're trapped in a vicious circle, like you'll never find peace again.
You are trapped, with no way out.
-
While other people find the rain soothing, you find it to be more like torture.
While other people would stay indoors in weather like this, you're outside again.
Again in front of a grave.
But this time it's Jihyo's.
Everything feels too similar and you hate it more than anything.
"It's not your fault" is a sentence you started to hate.
You hoped so much that you would never have to hear or read it again.
"Why didn't you talk to me..." you whisper, as if she could hear you.
Your hand clutches the letter, it slowly getting soaked by the rain.
You don't dare to move.
"You knew what happened..."
All time does is passing -
"Why did you hide it from me..." Your voice is full of despair.
And all you ever do is grieve.
"Life without you is no way to live" the white flower falls on his grave -
just like her ring,
engraved with your name.
She helped you recover from Dahyun's death.
You just wish you wouldn't have to recover over her death alone now.
In another universe, you've seemed to found your place in Jihyo's arms.
In this universe, you're left alone,
again.

The minutes passed by, and so did she; a few times. You watched from your seat as you waited for your name to be called, various scenes from silly incidents to more serious ones, old people to kids...
The place was bustling, you could feel your head getting heavier, only keeping it up just in case Mina appeared. She seemed busy, focused. She must have a lot on her mind.
How selfish would it be to wish you were on it too?
You wondered, feeling the familiar tug at your heart when she took the time to reassure a little girl across the room. You could make out the tears staining her cheeks despite how far you were sitting, and witnessed how quickly they dried up under Mina’s gentle voice.
How wrong would it be to feel jealous?
You shook the ridiculous thought away, just in time to hear your name finally get called out. The voice was familiar, but not the one you were hoping for. Sweet, but not enough.
Your gaze left Mina’s figure to meet her dear friend’s, a nurse you’d gotten to know more than the one you heart longed for. She let you call her by her name, but only if you promised not to overstep the set of obvious boundaries that came with it.
You gave your word, although it was tempting to take it back. Everytime Dahyun assisted in your care, you fought the need to ask her anything about Mina. You only faltered once, anesthesia having gotten the best of you after a long set of stitches.
You had the decency to wait until Mina stepped out of the room before asking about her love life. That’s how Dahyun came to know of this… mess of emotions between the two of you.
She never answered you, but she did have questions to which she tried to pull the answers to from Mina herself a few hours later.
Nearly a year later now, and she was still trying. Pieced a few of them together over time and rare, quiet wine drunken nights, but it was nowhere near enough to uncover the reasons.
The ones behind your visits, not your interest in her best friend. She has glasses but she’s not blind.
Although she did wonder what still had you so hung up after years.
If you knew yourself, you probably wouldn’t be in this mess.
“Do you guys have lunch breaks?" Your voice was quiet in an attempt to conceal how awkward you felt.
You were sat on a similar table as your last time here, only surrounded by proper walls this time. Still as blank and unstimulating, letting your mind roam free and back to Mina.
Dahyun paused in her tasks.
This was her third time seeing you, and it was the first time you’d spoken to her without her needing to pull the words out of you.
She cleared her throat, setting down the tools she’d just used to get your cast off. "We do.” She answered hesitantly. “Why wouldn't we?"
The room fell silent once again as you gazed at your weakened arm, turning her question rhetorical. Dahyun only chuckled at the sight before offering some reassurance, "I'm going to show you a few rehabilitation exercises. Your arm will be back to normal in no time."
You simply nodded, your eyes glued to the foreign feeling in your limb. "Do I need to rest it?"
Dahyun’s eyebrows furrowed at your question, but kept her curiosity to herself. Not everyone has her knowledge, she tended to forget it so she cut you some slack although something in her itched to be nosy.
She watched as you tentatively moved your arm, clenching your fist as if trying to regain familiarity with it. "Just avoid putting excessive strain on it.” She finally said, causing you to stop. “No intense use for a couple of weeks, and it should be fine."
"A couple weeks..." You muttered. This wasn’t good. Money was getting short. “Can I have some paper and a pen?”
It was getting hard to do, but Dahyun concealed her confusion again before fulfilling your request, observing as you used your weakened hand to scribble something barely legible.
“Does that count as exercise?" You playfully questioned, causing Dahyun to chuckle.
“It could, yeah." She nodded and you smiled, glancing back at your writing before handing it to her.
“Hopefully she can read it.”
You don’t need to say anything else. Not even her name. Dahyun knew who you were referring to.
You were sure of it, but she managed to make you second guess - yourself and your own intentions - when she tensed up in front of you.
Her hand didn’t reach for the piece you offered of yourself. As futile and impersonal as it was, you couldn’t help but take offense at her doubts.
“Please.” You muttered. It was pathetic. It felt like it too. But it was worth the discomfort if it meant convincing the woman standing before you. Her silence was painful, it almost made you laugh. She wasn’t even the one you were trying to reach.
Were you even allowed to feel so troubled yet?
Rightfully so. Dahyun took forever to make up her mind, staring long enough for your arm to fatigue.
Part of her didn’t want to enable and push her best friend into what looked like a hopeless abyss. Mina deserved much more. She deserved something safer, easier than whatever you brought to the table.
Then again this wasn’t her place to say. This wasn’t her game to play.
She just hoped Mina wouldn’t dismiss its risks.
Mina looked down at the paper in her hand, her features tensed in a mix of surprise and apprehension as she processed the words she’d managed to decipher.
« I’ll try really hard not to visit ever again, so if you ever miss me and have a moment to spare : xx xxx xxx. »
She took the numbers in as they slowly burned themselves into her mind. She tried to suppress that small hope within her as it prayed you’d written them well enough.
Needless to say it was a vain attempt. Her thoughts were scattered and she struggled to compose herself.
“What are you going to do?" Dahyun's voice broke an eerie silence that had settled itself in the break room, and Mina exhaled softly, her gaze lingering on your message.
"I'm not sure," she admitted, meeting Dahyun’s eyes. "It's complicated, you know that."
Dahyun nodded, understanding. Or at least she hoped it came across as because quite frankly she had no idea.
It was complicated, yes, but for her, the next step was a no-brainer.
"Maybe it's worth considering," she offered, her words gentle. “Just don’t do anything stupid.”
That pulled a chuckle out of the black haired woman next to her. “Like what?”
“I don’t know, but someone who needs to be stitched up every few months can’t not be involved in something dumb or careless.” Dahyun pointed out, but it only amused Mina even more. “I’m serious.” The nurse chuckled despite herself, “Something’s not right.”
“I can take care of myself.” Mina reassured, “I’m sure it’s nothing too bad. Careless maybe, but not dumb either.”
“How would you know?” Dahyun probed as Mina piqued at the nosiest part of her.
Mina only shrugged though, considering the paper in her hand. The weight of your message briefly pulled her thoughts back to the unspoken moments, the lingering emotions that built and shaped this odd link between the two of you.
"Just a feeling.”
“Looking to kill your winning streak?”
The coach’s voice resonated in the warehouse and you huffed out a breath, keeping your eyes from rolling back into your brain only to look at him instead. “What are you being so shy for? Hit it, damn it!”
You stayed silent, your jaw clenched shut to keep the thoughts in your head. The punching bag still swung back and forth behind you as you reached for the small bottle of water he was handing you.
The small ‘thank you’ you mumbled was enough for him to get off your back about respect and whatnot, but he still clung onto it about your arm.
“It’s been weeks, Y/n, you’ve had plenty of time to recover, come on…” He said, opting for a more gentle approach.
The switch up didn’t surprise you. He wasn’t exactly stable, but he was good at his job. Good enough to run this whole thing smoothly. You’d respect him if he weren’t so corrupt, pulling at big kids desperate enough for life to ruin it for them. People like you. Exposing them, showing them off in a violent spectacle only the richest could afford to enjoy.
The scheme was vicious. Designed to make staying in the only way out. To make him the only one you could turn to when life’s biggest troubles got too big to ignore.
He knew you well enough by now to know the gentle card wouldn’t work, but that’s also how he knew he had to give it a shot anyway. If not take action, you could open up.
You could, but you wouldn’t. Not to him. Your relationship didn’t allow it, as much as he tried to shape it that way over the years. Not that he was pushing it, he was decently nice. He cared. Just not enough.
You could feel it in the way he watched you, silent while his eyes questioned whatever you did he didn’t understand - which was almost always linked to whatever didn’t fill his pockets.
The edge of the ring pushed into your thighs as you took a seat there, staring into the space in front of you. Your gaze was vacant, you could feel yourself zone out, thoughts begging to drown into your heart and its selfish desire to burn over Mina’s absence; but the coach shaking his head kept you over the surface.
Seeing you space out was new, but he didn’t like how familiar the sight was getting.
You expected his rough tone to spit at you any second, but he surprisingly stayed calm. Too calm. So your eyes left the void to check on him, and his demeanor was all but reassuring.
You could feel his impatience grow by the second, the frustration practically radiating from him was off-putting, but the silence… It was as scary as it was encouraging.
“I need more time.” You finally said.
The words didn’t please him. They didn’t make you happy either. You’d love to be able to hit that bag as you used to just months ago.
“We can’t do that. People are damn near jumping the fence to see you fight, Y/n, you have to come back.”
“They’ll be fine.” You brushed off, feeling the guilt slowly weigh off your shoulders at the desperation in his voice. Something about hearing him beg, even implicitly.
You suddenly rose to your feet, feeling yourself growing wings as you clung onto the third rope of the ring. Entertaining the conversation seemed pointless, so you turned your back on him to get back to training. Something he made sure to prove as a mistake... He didn’t hesitate to burn those wings at the first sight of them.
He never did.
“But you won’t.” You heard him say. The words were heavy, probably because of how fast he’d thrown them at you.
Your features twitched, eyebrows creasing as you tried to argue, “I’m not ready.”
The weakness was bitter, obvious and unfair. Unfitting for a moneymaker like you. If anything you should be the one dictating things.
Yet he somehow always kept the reigns.
“You never were.”
His last words ran laps in your mind.
As hard as you tried to alter their course, nothing seemed to stop them. Nothing seemed to change.
The following days melted into themselves, fogging your memory with nothing but defeat.
You felt disoriented. Hopeless. Hurt. Yet somewhat motivated by it all. Problem was you had no goal to put it into.
This fighting thing proved itself to be nothing but a fickle string of glory. A glory you failed to even enjoy. Sure, the underground and illegal part of it didn’t help, but everyone around you seemed to do just fine.
Maybe you’ll ask them about it tomorrow. How they do it. For now you paced around the room, searching for a solution, only for your brain to come up with thoughts of her. You’d long passed the point of it being and feeling pathetic, surrendering to the insanity of the situation. Your soul yearned for the sense of peace she brought with her mere presence, and her absence was suffocating.
Why? It’s not like you were close. All she did was flirt back, it was no reason to get so attached.
You felt insane. Out of mind. All because of that bridge you’d humiliated yourself into trying to hold together.
Maybe giving her your number was a mistake. Maybe you’d have been better off keeping your distance.
Crossing those rarely ever was good.
Later that day, your apartment was cloaked in a hushed ambiance, the only source of light emanating from the soft glow of the TV screen as you absently filled up on what felt like a last meal.
A light, protein heavy collation you had no pleasure in swallowing. The only reason you were doing so was not to pass out mid-fight the next day.
You couldn’t go back to her. Not there.
So you folded into the old routine, only finding comfort in your favorite show playing in the background. It was a nice, fleeting distraction from the weight of your impending return to the fight club.
The night was slowly falling silent outside your walls. Your plate emptied itself slowly as episodes followed each other with few breaks in between. You nearly fell asleep from the monotony of it all, but the sound of your phone vibrating against the table jolted you back to full consciousness.
The screen had lit itself up, drawing your attention to the screen. An unknown number and a message that only made sense after connecting a few dots.
« I have a moment. »
Mina's words, a lifeline in the midst of this mounting anxiety.
Your fingers hovered over the screen, the weight of your feelings pulling them down to write and erase every word that came to mind before settling on a much simpler approach.
« Would you mind if I called? »
On the other side of the screen, Mina’s heart fluttered much to her dismay. Needless to say she was apprehensive, eyes fixated on your text while its content resonated in her mind. It stirred a few feelings she’d kept away and guarded for far too long now.
She wasn’t sure if she wanted to, but she knew she had to try. She owed it to herself. She’d risked too much, jeopardized too much of her sanity over you to leave without answers.
So she called.
This type of adrenaline was nothing compared to the one you got in the ring. The ring, it was cold. Chilling. The things you did, that you’ve done to get to where you were… It was a rush you were getting used to.
This one was different. Warm. Thrilling. It was new. A rush you looked forward to. No matter how much you denied yourself it.
“Hello?” You spoke into the phone after raising it to your ear. The line was silent for a second before you heard the soft timbre of her voice greeting you back.
Three weeks was the shortest time you’d gone without hearing it yet there you were; practically giggling to yourself over the few words you managed to exchange. The first ones that didn’t revolve around an injury or her scolding you for using her first name.
You made sure not to use it though, as you told her about this colorful place you liked to hang at. It wasn’t the most vibrant, but you found the atmosphere to be fitting for a talk. Cute even, if you’d dared to say.
Mina couldn’t help the flutter of her heart, the burning in her veins traveling all the way to her cheeks as she listened to you trying not to stutter over your words as you basically asked her out.
She could - and she would - have agreed to meet you in the following second, but something held her back, unlike the words pouring out of her mouth with no control, “Sounds lovely. But I don’t know…”
A small silence took over the line as you thought, “What… do you mean you don’t know?”
“It’s just that…” Mina sighed, “The hospital—”
“I’m not a patient anymore, Mina.” You cut her off, desperately clinging onto the small opening. Mina could sense that, letting her frustration slip into her tone.
“Yes, but for how long?” Another silence. Heavier this time. Longer. “We can’t know, right?”
Mina’s voice rung through the line, startling a thought you’d been dying to voice out to her.
“You can’t, but you do know something.”
“What?”
“You know exactly why I can’t make sure to never come back.” You partially confessed in hopes she would understand. “Don’t act dumber than you are, Dr. Mina.”
“That’s the thing, Y/n. I’m not.” She sighed. “I’m not. I don’t know why you show up in such states, I shouldn’t want to know as bad as I do, but something about you makes me—”
Mina stopped herself, realizing what her words were leading to. Somewhere a little too real and raw too quickly. She fought the tears begging to relieve her frustrations, and opted for another sigh. One soft, barely noticeable and far too weak to have any effect on her state of mind.
“It feels like I’m playing with fire.”
For the first time since you’d heard it, the sound of her voice hurt. You could tell how much it cost her to say those words. Just above a whisper, tainted by the shadows of her unshed tears. Ever so softly, like it would glide over the lines, the cracks staining the distance and reach you with no consequences.
“Listen…” You started. “I know you’ve been… curious about me. I know you’ve made your guesses, your bets, and I don’t know what those are. I can’t say I don’t care, because I do, but I have enough self-awareness to know they’re not the most positive.”
You paused in order to gather your thoughts. The next words you’d utter felt like the most important of your life. How worthless had it been… “I feel crazy just asking you this - I’ll understand if you don’t want to, but… I just want to see you. Talk to you, anything that’s not you fixing me up.”
There was a small silence again. It’s agonizing, not being able to tell where this was going. All you could do was wait. You were tired of it but it was suddenly worth it all. The pain, the silence, the longing. The quiet tears you let go off in the dark, the memories and wonders of her gentle soul tormenting you days after your stays.
“I want to see you too.”

mina’s brain is flowing in and out of consciousness, she can’t force herself to wake up no matter how hard she tries. 
the dream in her head switches to a singular mirror in the middle of the pitch blackness clouding her mind. she looks down to notice that she’s wearing white clothes before walking up to see her reflection, putting a hand against the glass feeling the coolness on her fingertips. 
mina steps in front of the glass, turning in every angle possible to examine the contours of her face, her expression stoic—behind every face there’s a mind that’s twisted by turmoil, and it’s no different with how she’s been in all of this. 
she looks down again at her hands and outfit to see the flashes of blood splattered all over before returning to normal, looking up again to see her reflection again now wearing the opposite color of black much like the clothes she wore when she came to see you. instead of it being simple and clean from the mirror, the rags were tattered and torn and her hair was all disheveled with scruffy dirt marks across her face. 
in a scare, mina steps back from the mirror, while her reflection is left unmoved, standing menacingly with her head at an angle. a sinister snicker is heard throughout the space as mina looks around the enclosed space before returning her look to the front. the reflection now gives her a smirk that makes mina question about this being in front of her. 
“you’re not real, you’re not real!” mina says to her reflection, psyching herself out of this supposed bad trick her mind is playing her. 
“on the contrary,” her reflection says with pride in her voice, “i’m afraid that it’s all too true for you to believe is it?” the sniding remark and tone is a lot more bashful as the mirror starts to warble in small waves. 
mina takes a step back, not letting the fright get to her once the mirror phases her reflection through like passing in water, standing her ground once face to face with her evil persona. 
having vampire powers was one thing, but having something taking possession of mina’s mind and body was something that scared her immensely. she has to fight. she has to, or else—
“i wonder why you’re thinking about your loved ones so much.” her other persona stops her train of thought, “did you forget what you did or do you want me to remind you of what you’ve become?” 
“stop, you know that you’re the one who took control that night,” mina tries to retaliate, “all those people killed–i can’t even go back to my family anymore! you ruined my life!” 
her other persona laughs, evilly. 
“you poor thing, such a shame to not embrace the gift that was given to you.” her other persona starts, “don’t you see the potential in your power if you just let me guide you on the right path?!” 
“i never wanted this to begin with! just let me fix this myself, please.” mina pleads, clutching on her villainous version, breaking down as soft sobs are heard echoing off in the chamber of her mind. 
“then you know what you need to do. what we have to do…” mina looks up at herself, surrendering to the notion that’s being said. “i wonder what look you would have if we also killed y/n along with—” 
“you wouldn’t dare.” 
“so do as i say, and maybe i’ll consider sparing her alongside you, once i have what i want.” 
the evil persona then rises above, rightfully taking her position while all that mina could do was helplessly look up before her evil persona then snaps her fingers flashing mina’s consciousness completely blank. 
Tumblr media
soft sounds of voices are heard, and mina is able to open her eyes just slightly. she couldn’t see much but two silhouettes of people looking over her, the hint of orange light surrounding her also hindering any more clarity for her to see who was who. 
a doze here and there, but mina’s ears picked up everything. 
“you’re talking about performing a spell that can lobotomize someone without even knowing if they’ll be alive by the end of it?” 
“better than resorting to an exorcism ritual to get an ancient vampire spirit out of a human being. i’m considering all of our options here.” 
mina remembers the sound of your voice. it was faint and on edge, but the fact that you were doing everything that you can to help her was all but reassuring as she shifts under the covers. you and wong look over to see the last second of movement before longing your look at mina’s slumber state. 
“this is a bad idea y/n, and the last thing we want is for your girlfriend to be tangled up in the worst case scenario.” wong says while flashing a look at you, closing the floating book in front of your head with both of his hands. 
“she’s not my girlfriend for god’s sake! just keep searching and let me know when you find anything.” you retort to a grunting wong who’s stomping away muttering out curses before the door to your room shuts behind him, leaving you and mina alone since that night she came to visit you. 
you scan the spellbook that you were holding off to the side, skimming through the outdated texts and sketches that showed the channeling of power in order to cast. closing the book right after and shaking your head finding nothing to help point the solution in the right direction, you look at the orange bubble that mina was under in your bed that you set as a precaution. in case you were able to fully determine if mina was in control or the evil entity. 
circling around the spacious queen size bed, you’re at mina’s bedside watching her peacefully sleeping. a solemn look is struck in your face, the heartstrings within you tugging at the thought of not being able to help—especially the person that has literally turned your world upside down so fast. 
with a wave of your hand, the orange bubble around mina’s sleeping body dissolves for you to get a closer look. watching over her like a protective guardian as a sudden thought pops in your head that makes you turn away at the sudden sound of a faint voice, like you were calling out for help. 
a vision flashed in your head of you being pinned on the ground by mina on top moaning in your ear, the heat growing between you two as she locked her gaze on you with half-lidded eyes. you shake your head at the thought but can’t help but think about it for a quick second before listening to mina’s labored breaths while sleeping.  
you then knelt at mina’s side of your bed, holding her hand and examining every line on her face with so much careful observation, you’re also trying to fight the urge within you to place a kiss while you stroke her head, tears welling up but not falling from your eyes as she shifts slightly from your touch. 
“i’ll keep trying.” you mutter, “i will do anything and everything that i can to make sure we get through this, together.” 
Tumblr media
when mina wakes up again, she feels a little out of it but at the same time refreshed, like she hasn’t had that kind of beauty sleep in weeks. 
her eyes flutter open to a different setting, from the very regal, majestic bed with an overhanging frame in your room from the sanctum sanctorum to a hospital bed (your hospital actually) all snuggled up properly with her head and one arm the only thing sticking out from the covers. 
she looks around the unfamiliar sight of the room with the only sound coming from the low hum of the humidifier at the table next to her as she shifts to sit up a little. looking at her right hand to see a clip attached to her pointer finger that was connected to the monitor keeping track of her heartbeat on her left side of the bed before rubbing her eyes to get rid of the sleepiness. 
“you’re finally up.” 
mina turns to see you off in the corner of the room sitting on a chair with your butt almost hanging off the seat, letting the lanky legs almost be parallel to the floor with your head tilted off to the side. you’re giving her this soft look, a loving gaze with the warmest smile that makes mina’s eyes widen at how you currently looked. 
a cropped puffer jacket with both hands in the pockets sits really well along with your long dress pants that really elongate your legs as you cross them over, still not moving your upper body whatsoever as you inhale with your head falling back. mina is left in awe with how your homey style when she came to see you switch up so fast with how dashing you were with casual wear, clear to say that you could’ve been a model for fendi or any high fashion brand, but that wasn’t in your department up until recently. 
you seem relaxed and well rested (or it could be the foundation you put on to hide your eyebags -which there were none-) and it seems like you were just trying to live normally as best as you could without all of the business of being a neurosurgeon or sorcerer supreme. superheroes need their breaks every now and then right? 
mina can’t help but stare blatantly, and she’s trying to figure out how long it’s been since she came to see you. she felt bad about bringing her problem to you in the first place and wants to set things right, all she ever wanted really was to be set free from the clutches of her family and be her own person, the aspirations she had for her life that she wanted to live, but at every turn of attempts, there was always someone to stop her and she hated that. 
you stretched out the lasting bits of tension from your aching body, legs rising off the ground before crossing them over again while you rub your knuckles through the pockets of your jacket. “is there something on my outfit or are you just gonna stare into my soul?” 
mina looks away coyly from your question, hiding the blush that’s hinted on her cheeks. you can’t help but chuckle at the wave of her hair falling onto one side hiding her face. 
“how long was i out?” she asks while turning back to you. 
“about three days.” 
mina furrows her brows at the amount of time that has passed since that night, but can’t help to ask more questions. “what did i do to get here?” 
you lean forward with your butt on the seat now, pulling your arms up and out over your knees to a more serious manner. “i brought you here. don’t worry, it was under wraps.” you answer. “we actually keep this level for more severe patients but you’re in one of the spare rooms that weren’t occupied.” 
“god, this is all a mess.” 
“believe me, i’ve dealt with worse.” you huff out, the tired tone in your voice clearly breaking through as a knock was heard on the door. cristina flashes her head in through the crack before coming in quietly with a tray full of today’s breakfast that was being served to the patients below. 
“nobody has noticed right?” you ask cristina, taking the two trays of food from her as she peeps through blinds to check if she was followed. “i’m actually surprised that no one asked about where you were going.”
“they just assumed that i’m taking extra food trays up for some of the peeps that are in the icu rooms, but yeah no one has said anything yet.” 
“do you think it’s okay for a few friends to visit up here?” 
“y/n, if word gets out that you’re keeping a potential criminal—” 
you hush cristina, nicking your head off to the side at mina who has a blank expression on her face when her name was mentioned, biting your inner cheek defending your crush with everything that you can. mina is not a criminal, and you were going to do any means necessary to help her clear her name. 
“sorry.” cristina mutters, “i know she means a lot to you, but you’d be coming under fire for this also when you’re supposed to be on temporary leave.” 
“i can deal with all of that later, they need my work and mind anyway so they can’t get rid of me that easily.” 
comforting cristina with your hands on her shoulders, you guide her out the door into the less bustling hallway, giving a word to be on the lookout in trade for letting in a few select guests courtesy of you, but it would only be a matter of time for the police and news outlets to swarm the front foyer of the hospital if someone speaks. 
Tumblr media
“say ahhhh….” 
you say with your parted mouth while feeding mina a spoonful of scrambled egg that leaves her giving you a gummy smile with how you look like you’re babying a child. 
mina can’t help herself with how cute you’re looking while taking care of her, so she opens her mouth for the spoon, humming at the taste once you pull back to get yourself a bite, wiping your mouth with a nearby napkin. 
“i can eat just fine y/n, you don’t have to do all this.” mina says, covering her mouth while chewing. 
“but i want to, so eat.” 
mina listens, swallowing the food down while you’re getting another scoop of egg from the bottom of the container, hovering the spoon over to mina again with a hand under it to prevent it from falling. “don’t make me say here comes the airplane—” 
“stop,” mina replies, opening her mouth for the spoon as you fed her again, putting the utensil on the tray with the breakfast meal now completely eaten. “thank you, it’s nice that you’re taking the time to help and take care of me.” she says, sighing while running her fingers against each other on her lap, looking down in a slight embarrassment. 
you hum, “you came to me, so i’m not resting until i can find a solid solution to your problem mina.” 
“but you should.” 
“and i won’t.” 
mina lets out a chuckle, “were you always the stubborn type? that’s not really your style to go by when impressing someone.” 
“it’s working on you, and it still is.” you beam, “after all, who saved you from that one man who tried to get up all in your bubble at the gala?” 
“okay, okay.” mina surrenders, “you do have a point with that one.” she says, holding her hands up in defeat, setting them down after. you smile at the slight bit of playfulness on her face and in her tone, reaching over to clasp her hand lightly, prompting a sense of comfort that makes mina blush a bit from the touch of your hand. 
you run your finger over the ridges of her knuckles, before pulling away with your hand going back into your puffer pocket, leaning back into the seat to relax considering that you’ve been keeping a close eye on mina for the entirety of the three days and nights (which meant that your sleep schedule was extremely fucked up) graveyard shifts were always normal when working, but this was the first instance in a while where your own mind was tormenting under the stress and constant disarray of questions that was pounding around in your head keeping you awake.
there’s still a lot to uncover here; the supposed curse set on mina, the whole mystery with the myoui family as a whole, what did mina’s dad have a role to play in, how were you going to clear mina’s name to the chief and jihyo, and not even forgetting about the small urge that’s tempting you from within whenever you set your eyes on mina—it’s not that noticeable for you to catch, but it feels like there’s a second thought, much like a voice telling you something otherwise. 
you were one of the strongest beings of the universe, the guardian of the magic arts, the one who left everything behind in order to save your own mind and body from destroying itself. this isn’t any different, but this is mina you’re trying to protect and save here, and you can’t help but think about the possible failures that could happen-
“y/n…” 
it’s still fresh in your mind, the look on your sister’s face in the car as it tumbled down the hill on the way to the special hearing event that night, the last moments before everything went blank as you hit the water—
“y/n.” 
the pain was too much to bear, every fiber in your bone and muscle aching when you dragged the lifeless corpse out of the car—hands destroyed and riddled with blood and metal shrapnels  s you cried your heart out waiting for the light of the helicopter to shine down on you, feet away from the wreckage. flashes of the lifeless body in your sister, the same thought happened with mina in your arms from that one dream or vision. you couldn’t save your sister, would the same outcome of fate happen with mina if you failed again—
“y/n!” 
snapped out in a trance, you’re staring at mina again, her eyes piercing through yours. like the smart girl that she is, your look gave it away that something was wrong. you inhale sharply, stretching out the limbs in your body like before when mina first came about from her slumber. you sit up, running a hand through your face to wipe off the tired look before you feel mina’s hand on your arm. 
“are you okay?” she asks, “you blanked out for a few seconds, and you were almost crying?!” 
“was i?” you say, nodding to answer her question before scratching the back of your neck to keep your body moving. “sorry…i just have.. .a lot on my mind…that’s all.” 
mina tilts her head out of sympathy, pressing her lips inward at you looking distressed, anxious. she’s never seen you this on edge before, let alone like you’ve lost a bit of color on your face or the light dimming in your eyes. 
“y/n.” mina says for the fourth time in a short span. you turn your attention to her. she sat a little bit higher due to the elevated hospital bed, making you slightly look up, but with those golden retriever eyes of yours, she lets out a needed smile at how soft you’ve become for her, and it’s the reassuring part about you that she really likes. “i wanted to ask you a question again.” 
“what’s on your mind?” you say, leaning forward, elbows on the edge of the bed and fist holding up your head, gazing at mina’s bare face and the pretty details around it. “you can always tell me without asking.” 
��why do you save lives?” she asks, and again the flashbacks are flooding in. 
blinking, lost and entranced, you’re snapped back with a rough exhale before scooting your chair closer to mina, lowering your head which prompted her to place her hand on the back of it to ease your troubles while you placed your flat palm on top of your shoulder where her hand was, giving a look of reassurance that you were okay to some extent. 
“well, i—” 
“let me rephrase,” she interrupts, “why are you the person you are today?” 
the question is internalized from your ears, your hands are between your legs clasped, you’re looking out the window that’s nothing but gray setting the dull mood throughout the room/ 
“i became who i am…” you begin, “because it was the only way out for me.” 
mina stares with the silence beating in, you’re looking downward at the sheets where mina’s legs are at, clutching your wrist at the pain you’ve been keeping to yourself for so long—
“i used to be like you; hard working, got everything that i ever wanted and more.” you answer, looking at her with a wistful gaze in your eyes. “all of that changed in a flash because of a silly mistake that cost everything.” 
“what happened?” 
clenching teeth, the memory just feels like yesterday post-op—the aftereffects of the concussion, the countless rods nailed into the bones of your hands suspended above your body like a zombie, and the daunting notion that you were the sole survivor, and all five stages of grief was the only resolve in your mind. 
“i was invited to an event. brought my sister as a plus one who wanted to attend these special gatherings. we were on the way there when there was a crash.” you say, staring out the window with the sounds from the car that night faintly going through your head. “we got blindsided by some other driver on the opposite end, sending our car tumbling down the hill to the ocean below.” 
mina is appalled by this, and you have only told a few people outside of the hospital circle about your accident, it still traumatized you to this day. you kept your heart and terrific mind, but your hands and not to mention—
“i fought everything that my body was forcing on me, getting out of a flooded car with completely destroyed hands, dragging my sister’s body to the shore. i couldn’t save her in the end.” you add on, dipping your head at the thought before mina’s hand finds your shoulder again. you look at her with tears welling, you’ve never shown this side of you to anybody since the accident, but mina understood—and her comfort was definitely all the more reassuring. 
“i may not have had the same luxury like you, but—” 
“y/n, that doesn’t matter, keep going.” she orders. 
“right,” you mutter, fixing yourself up in your chair. “after the accident, i pooled everything that i could into fixing my hands, and it burned bridges with some of the closest people that turned their backs on me because of my greedy arrogance, to fix something, make me feel better again.” 
it’s a shock to mina. this revelation. you were the same as her (to some extent), but she can relate to your life story the more you shared. 
“i did everything i could, but it brought me to the doors of a temple, a new world and…it saved my life.” 
“y/n.” mina says. “i didn’t know—” 
“it’s okay.” you answer. “if it weren’t for that one way ticket in a last ditch effort, i wouldn’t be where i am today.” you bring your hands up to show her. they looked better with time, but the fading scars were still present as well as the lingering shaking, but you’ve healed; moved on further from that phase of your life, and here you are.
“i used to think that my life was the only thing that mattered.” you say to mina, clasping her hand at the side of her leg, looking at her with a soft smile. “but people like you have shown me so much more, and maybe some lives are worth saving than my own.” 
“sorry, i shouldn’t have—” 
mina tries to say, but your lips were suddenly pressed against hers. the initial contact is gentle enough to knock the wind out of the both of you under normal circumstances. time seems to slow down even more when you cup her face with your hands, and mina’s hand grabbing onto your wrist. the feeling and taste of her lips against your own that was the only thing on your mind right now. 
she’s the one to pull away first, grasping your hand lightly to stop as your eyes flutter open while retreating. 
“sorry.” now you’re the one apologizing. “too much?” 
mina giggles gently, her head in between your hands still, thumbs grazing her cheek lightly before lowering them. “didn’t know the magic doctor would have a soft spot for someone like me. it’s kinda cute.” 
you try to rebut, but mina’s lips swoop in for a quick peck before pulling away to have a better look at your surprise expression. she stares at you for a second, appreciating the hint of red spreading from the top part of your cheeks just under your eyes, tapping the beauty mark that’s alongside your jawline before wiping a wisp of lint that got stuck on your eyebrows with her thumb.
“shouldn’t you be working technically?” 
“well.” you respond. “i’m on leave actually, but i help advise some of the other specialists every now and then. you’re not trying to get rid of me are you?” 
“no, i’m not.” 
“don’t lie to me.” 
“i’m not!” 
“mhm.” 
Tumblr media
you kept a close eye on mina at the hospital every now and then. tasking cristina to also check up on her with food as well as any other essential needs that she might ask. most of the other workers, including the ones that you usually talk with, didn't really seem to bat an eye or even ask what you were still doing in the hospital when you’re supposed to be on temporary leave (should be permanent since you’re a freaking superhero and saving lives in a different way). 
when you are not at your office finding solutions for mina, you’re spending most of your free time with her. watching movies, talking about magic spells and showing her, and even losing to her on mario kart since she requested to have a nintendo switch in her room (you couldn’t say no to that). it’d only been roughly about two to three weeks since the gala incident—maybe even longer since you were in a slight coma, but everything was against the clock now. 
one day, you took a break from looking at some brain scans, knocking at the door to mina’s room when you hear her faint voice prompting you to come in. swinging the door slightly open popping your head with a dumb smile, mina’s face lightens up with yours while you walk in. “sorry to keep you waiting minari. still did some reading and a few other things.” 
“i was wondering if you were gonna see me today.” she replies, “am i gonna be discharged anytime soon?” 
“as much as i love to take you home with me, police activity is still prominent in searching for you.” you reply, “the sanctum would be the ideal place, but you gave wong a scare with…” 
“right…” 
“but that was one of the things i wanted to ask you about, you’re essentially helping me a bit with this actually.” 
mina looks up as if her face says ‘me? you want help from me? the person with vampire powers helping the sorcerer supreme?’ 
“well, but how do expect me to—” 
“just listen to what i have to say.”
“okay…” 
mina’s attention is zeroed in on you sitting down like when she first woke up, hand on head with your elbow on the bed. “i’ve been looking at brain scans along with reading some psychiatric cases in between.” 
“what about it?”
“well, there could be a number of factors that can explain why, but i was able to narrow it down to maybe one or two things.” 
mina raises her hand up at you, signaling to stop, raising your eyebrow in curiosity at the sudden action while also shutting you up. 
“i’ve been thinking about this also, but i don’t know if it makes real sense.” 
“nothing is too crazy if you’re talking to me about supernatural stuff.” 
mina laughs, dipping her head down while you shake your head smiling. “okay but maybe you can try to answer this.” 
you look at her again, everything about mina was just ethereal about her. once again, you’re blushing slightly with the hints of flirting you’re casually dishing out. 
“you know how we have a conscience right? or like a second voice?” 
“yeah. or at least something to that degree.” you answer, leaning back in your chair.
“what if,” mina pauses with parted lips, “that second voice is real, like it's almost a different person.” 
“that could be plausible, but—”
would that really explain what you might be assuming? 
before mina could add on, a knock on the door is heard outside the room. the both of you look toward the sound interrupting your conversation, remembering that you asked to meet with this person to help you with finding the probable cause of solving mina’s case. 
“i completely forgot,” you say, “i asked someone to meet up with me around this time, but you’re onto something mina.” 
“really?” 
“well if what you’re saying is true, then maybe.” you reply “let me see first, stay here for me will ya?” 
“i’m not going anywhere.” she says, smiling. 
“good.” you say, leaning to give mina a quick peck before leaving the room to the hallway. once you were on your way out, mina hears a faint whisper in her head, her smile dropped to a more serious expression, and her eyes flashed red again. 
Tumblr media
once the door closed from the outside, you notice that a woman was standing against the wall next to the window, wearing a layered dress shirt over a vest with an id clipped onto it.
“i was wondering if you were here or not.” the woman says to you, rubbing her eye for probably the nth time since she came to the hospital. 
“so you did look at my text nayeon.” you reply, standing in front of her while you wiped your lips from the remnants of mina’s lip gloss with your finger. “and i thought that you’d never leave your lab for something like this.” 
“well after i heard that jihyo gave you some insight with the case, i figured that you would also need my help with the files you pulled.”
“alright mrs. phd, impress me.” 
nayeon laughs at the sly jab of banter you threw at her while she looks at her phone that showed photos of brain scans, you automatically assumed that dr. hirai also looked at these when assessing mr. myoui’s condition after the surgery. 
“if you look at the different contrasts of how the brain is showed in this imaging.” she says while swiping the screen to show brainwaves that you knew that nayeon also did herself as testing. “notice how all the readings aren’t as consistent as they were before?” 
“i get what you’re saying.”
“i also looked at the logs that jihyo provided from dr. hirai, and the transcripts of those said conversations.” nayeon added, “we could be seeing a different kind of problem here.” 
“you’re not saying that the—“
“this issue has happened before, but we thought of it to be more of a psychological disorder.” she states, “the way he sounded and from the audios can only imply one thing only.” 
maybe what mina was asking about to you is true after all.
“we’re looking at a split personality disorder then.” 
“of something to that degree.” nayeon replies, “spiderwoman had a confrontation with the father after the whole gala thing and she said that he was like, unstable…erratic to better word it.”
everything starts to make sense. you’ve glossed at the case files, and the spellbook that you were looking at while mina was being tended to all started to add up. that red moon was the catalyst of unleashing something within mina. that, and the freak accident that happened to her while she was little while her dad was working at the lab in minatozaki industries. gears in your head started to work at overtime piling all of the information from the past couple of days or weeks. it all comes down to one thing.
“shit.” the realization hits you much harder than a truck. 
“what’s wrong?” nayeon asks you.
“if what you’re saying is true, then we should ask mina about this.” 
“are you sure?”
“anything is better to help her get out of this situation.” you say, “she already wanted to seek help from more people, so this is good.”
nayeon slots her phone back in her pocket, crossing her arms after while tilting her gaze back to you. “i hope you’re doing the right thing here, y/n. you’re lucky i have a study into the psychosocial aspect of someone’s mind.”
“should’ve been a neurologist.”
“bite me.” 
“been there, done that.”
the both of you let out a chuckle together before a sudden thud is heard inside the room. your expression shifts over when you look to the side and back at nayeon, sprinting to the door and shoving it open. 
your heart drops at the sight of the unoccupied bed, the tousled sheets and the cords of the monitors behind all flatlining in an erie tone. the window was open and a cool breeze was blowing through the open passageway. 
a sigh of defeat leaves your lips, scratching your head while nayeon scans the room for any signs or traces. but the situation was all too present to revel in. mina was gone. 
“i should’ve done something about this sooner.” you huff out irritably, placing a hand on the bed while the game on the tv showed the ‘you lose’ words all bold and red for you to see. you back at nayeon with a more stern appearance now, seething air into your teeth before rubbing your chin trying to think about the next move.
“did you always have sharp canines?” nayeon asks you suddenly, noticing the grit teeth from your mouth. “i know that you have the bite mark on your neck but—“
“it’s nothing.” you answer, “i’m fine, and yeah. it’s like baby fang teeth that i’ve had for a while.” 
“hm, okay.” nayeon says coolly. “well i should go back to the lab, i have to fix up another damaged suit for spiderwoman, but let me know if you need additional lab details.”
“i’ll text you, thanks anyway nayeon.”
she hums and excuses herself from the room, leaving you all alone again. this corner was all too familiar to you, and the impending thought of losing after everything that has happened up until this point creeps back into your mind.
you’ve faced many things as doctor strange, but this is just you; no mystical powers, a person that has been grounded down to reality, their whole life changed in an instant, still hands reduced now lingering remnants of the accident, but a mind that still has years of knowledge inside. a broken being who’s burnt bridges and relationships who wanted to fix everything.
mina was the same, she’s the same as you to some degree. she didn’t ask for this to happen, but she’s been thrusted into this whole debacle because of ignorance. her resolve to bring justice for herself against the people that hurt her, and she would be the kind of person to see it through to the end. 
you’ve seen the side of mina that can be loved, cared for, the one where you could leave everything behind just to be with her. you didn’t think you’d have feelings for her, but it’s too strong now to suppress. but there’s a side that you haven’t even uncovered yet, like a secret that only she wants to keep to herself. 
all of these questions could be answered sooner, but the first one that’s the major part of the business while it somewhat scares you now was, 
where could have mina possibly gone off to? 
Tumblr media
not that long, maybe some hours later, you’re floating in air along with some of the towering skyscrapers while the whole city is shrouded in a cloudy dusk.
you’re recounting the facts in your head: the myoui family history, the night at the gala, the other night when mina came to you for help, mina, sharing those brief intimate moments of comfort and care, but there was one aspect that was still a blank page for you in unfolding all of this. 
what the heck was the big accident that you’ve been hearing and reading about? 
you stay idle, ascending upwards slightly as your mind continues to tirelessly work, becoming flush with the clouds as the people below become smaller and smaller in your vision. 
thoughts keep flowing in your brain, piecing the whole puzzle together. being suspended in the air was your safe place (frankly, you took inspiration from that one anime character that’s wearing a blindfold with white hair that wong has been watching as of recently) but there was something serene about the silence while being thousands of feet up from the ground.
pensive, but was nayeon’s study actual concrete evidence in addition to the files, recordings, and transcripts of conversations that pose mina’s dad as a threat behind all this? could mina really—no, there’s no possible way even that thought is real. 
brother, saving the universe was more taxing compared to this. 
wait. 
brother?
a spark clicks in your brain. 
you remember looking at the case file jihyo handed to you, the list of names checked off in your head one by one, but there was one outlier, and not to mention it was crossed off in scribbles repeatedly.
mina did mention something, or someone. she couldn’t bring herself to mention the name, nearly breaking down in tears that same night she came to see you. 
you knew exactly where she is.
because it’s also the same place you swore you’d never bring yourself to. 
so without a second thought, you teleport yourself in a quick flash to that location where’d you hoped it would be the same place that mina was, proving every assumption right. 
Tumblr media
mina lands awkwardly on a grassy area, her steps staggered as she tries to regain her balance from flying. 
she hobbles over across a row of tombstones, stopping to kneel at one that was a little more adjacent to a nearby tree. wiping the twigs and other grassy parts off from the nearby stone before grazing it with her thumb, tracing the words etched into the rock that was tantamount to the pain she’s been holding in for so long. 
here lies ray myoui, a bright star and beacon of light. 
mina then stands up to back away a few feet from the tombstone, staring at the words while hanging her head in shame at the memory. sounds from her childhood come creeping back of that fateful night that changed everything.
“ray? mina? what are you doing here?! you have to get out, it's too dangerous!” 
“i have to help!”
“ray! don’t go in there!”
“dad stop!”
“sir! we have to leave it’s gonna blo—“
she shakes her head from the flashback, clenching her fist and jaw. a cool breeze flows through the overhanging tree, blowing her hair while she sniffles a bit in a brief moment of sadness.
“i promise ray, i’ll make them pay…i’ll make all of them pay… for this.” mina says with grit teeth. “they can try to stop me, but your story will be told. i won’t be scared anymore.” 
mina then fishes a wilted rose from her pocket, laying it on the tombstone before kissing her palm, planting it on top of the rose. even if her brother was no longer on this earth, she loved him more than her parents who neglected him, now they’re doing the same thing to her. it’s all because of her dad, it wouldn’t bring ray back but it’d be the best bit of justice to have. 
she stays still with her palm flat on the stone, the breeze coming in more forcibly this time before zipping up her windbreaker that she stole. 
“figured that you’d be here.”
a voice calls from behind that was too gentle to run away from. 
mina turns and her expression shifts to a more shocked look at the sight of you floating down from above, the gracefulness behind it once your feet hit the ground, eyes fluttering open with a face full of sympathy, a hint of hurt lying underneath it.
a woolen turtleneck sits nicely on your figure, your hair is wavy like a post makeout session or fresh out of the shower kind of look. you seem relaxed, tired even, but mina can’t help but stare like before when she first woke up back at the hospital. you looked good, radiating cold all over (you were literally up with the empire state building but that’s enough to digress). 
the distance is short between you and mina, like a standoff in one of those old school western movies. your shoulders are square with mina’s, and your hands are still in your pockets, not itching for a fight, a clash of minds some would say like in a game of chess. 
one of you will lose this staring contest over who has the better face card. (spoiler alert: the wind is the winner.) 
“how did you find me?” mina asks, slightly shaken, considering that she had left no traces back at the hospital. which got her thinking, but then again, you were the master of the mystic arts–so this was like child’s play of cat and mouse the way you looked unamused with a tugged smile at the corner of your mouth. 
“i don’t usually like coming here,” you say, looking off to the distance filled with rows of tombstones filling the hills. “not my favorite spot of the city exactly.” 
mina steps a bit forward, nearly inviting herself in your personal bubble, but freezes for a second when she sees your face was still unchanged. “i should’ve said something before when you asked me, i’m sor–” 
“mina,” you say sternly, meeting her eyes because you didn’t need to have her tell you again. “i know.” 
she closes her lips, looking down at her feet. of course you would know about mina’s past, but mina doesn’t know you left one detail out about your accident that shares a sort of commonality between the two of you. 
“this was also the same place where i buried my sister.” 
mina’s eyes on your face fall from wistful to crestfallen, remembering the story you told her a few days ago also humanizes her motives. your smile was gone, unmasking the hidden universe in your eyes that no one has been able to see, until now. “her grave is a little bit past this hill, but i’ve never actually been able to stand in front of it.”
“i see,” mina replies, looking down at her brother's tombstone, patting it to acknowledge his presence in front of you. “sorry again for not asking in the first place.”
“you shouldn’t go off running like that anyway,” you reply, voice slightly strained with worry. “you’re already in danger as it is.”
she winces at the words, knowing the state of her whole situation. she’ll only make things worse if she plays damsel in distress, so the only logical thing to do was to stay put and safe with you. 
“you should’ve told me about your brother.” you say with your head tilted at an angle, “i know that there’s other things to worry but for me to find out while you’re roaming around the city wasn’t the right move.”
“i—i just couldn’t. you know how much i wanted to tell.” mina pleads, closing the distance between you and her more closely by just a few inches. “believe me y/n, this means too much to—“
“then why didn’t you say anything when you came to me that night?”
“because i was afraid of how you’d see me if i told you that i was responsible for my brother’s death?!” 
you remain frozen, unmoved at the fact that mina blames herself over a freak accident from their youth. you’ve seen the case files from jihyo, mr. myoui’s transcripts and recordings with dr. hirai, it doesn’t change the fact that mina is innocent—and you’re gonna do everything to help clear her name. 
“mina.” you say her name against the cool wind, and the way the syllables bounce off your tongue makes the hairs on the back of her neck shiver. “i know you’re scared, and you feel powerless. but i’ve told you this before already, i’m here for you. there’s no need to run away any longer, i can help you.”
mina bites the inside of her cheek, shaking her head slightly trying to deny the situation. she wants to stand on her own ground, to defy against everything her family made her think and believe. she can do it, her resolve more firm and clear than anything in this godforsaken world can throw at her. standing up to her father was one of her biggest ever fears, and with her powers, she can do that unlike before. 
“there’s better ways to handle this,” you say, “no one has to get hurt.” 
“how could you possibly know that?!” 
“because,” your voice becoming more gentle and easing, “i understand. all of it.” 
“wha–” 
“i know what it means to lose someone you care so much about.” you say, “i’m no different than you mina, we’re both the same.” 
mina’s gaze softens, brows furrowing while you close your eyes walking forward, making your turn to shorten the gap between you and her. “don’t let your pain blindly drive you to madness wishing that things would be different.” 
she looks down again, the top of her head hitting your collarbone slightly. you look off to the distance, spotting the area where your sister’s tomb was at. recalling the memory of the funeral service with all of your parents and the rest of your family members all gathered to see the coffin be lowered into the ground. 
despite everything that has happened, you kept yourself at a distance, knowing that if you were with your family members, the pain would be too great to bear—so you saw her off from far away; distant and disconnected, but it was the right thing to do. 
tears are stained into your turtleneck, the sounds of the sobs muffled against the fabric as you wrapped an arm around mina while she clutched your waist with her arms. you catch a quick whiff of the apricot scent that was in her hair from the hospital, placing a light kiss on the top of her head to comfort her while mina collects herself. 
“you okay?” you ask mina, still buried into your sweater. a faint muffle of ‘yes’ can be heard while you pat her back. “at least i got to meet ray finally.” 
mina lets out a light chuckle while she wipes her face from the stained tears on her cheek, you’re brushing a few strands of her hair before rubbing your thumb on her cheek, giving a loving look with your eyes, orbs piercing through hers as she lifts a soft smile. “let me say goodbye before we go.” 
so you comply with her request, giving mina some space for a few more minutes, standing on the edge of the tree just before the leaves meet the cloudy sky. watching her kneel down to the tombstone, cleaning the last bits of sticks and twigs from the ground surrounding it before dipping her head down. she gives a few parting words before closing her eyes, whispering to herself before fluttering them open again, the hint of red fading away before standing up, turning to you looking off to the distance again. 
she makes her way to you, a soft smile spread across your face. playing it cool while she hugs you again, your chin on the top of her head, letting yourself hug her before she rests her face on the right side of your chest. she looks up to meet your eyes, and you’re looking down slightly while her hand snakes up to the back of your neck.
“thank you.” mina says, closing the space between your lips with hers. the kiss in itself was intoxicating as your hands snake around her hips again, pulling her towards you while she cups your face with her other hand that wasn’t occupied. there was something alluring about mina this time compared to the other instances, but the relief that you found mina again was the only thing on your mind right now. nothing else mattered. 
you pull away after a few moments, half-drunk from mina’s captivating lips while you catch your breath, her hand on your chest trying to calm down the rapidly beating heart inside. retracting your lips inward and knitting your brows together that makes mina’s eyes appear more glossy, wanting more.
“just do one thing for me this time,” you mutter, looking down in slight embarrassment, “stay with me for now, at my place.” 
“did you have something else in mind?” 
“and never leave me.” 
Tumblr media
once back at your place, it had already become nightfall. you don’t even bother turning the lights on around the house because what’s the point in doing so?
mina is in tow right behind you, and all of a sudden your mind feels a little woozy. propping back against the doorframe leading into your room, mina stops you in your tracks to see what was wrong. how typical you; letting your guard down for just a second, the irony of being a doctor and getting sick. 
or maybe it was something else, and you never saw it coming.
“everything fine y/n?” mina asks you, standing opposite from you in the doorway, trying to shake off the sudden headache that was pounding in your head. “you don’t look good.” 
“yeah, i’m fine.” what a tremendous lie that was for you to say. “i need to keep searching for answers from the spellbooks.” 
“you shouldn’t,” mina objects, “you can barely stand up straight.” 
“this is for you. i don’t care about myself.” 
mina sighs out, like it was calculated or prompted from the exchange of words. “you should relax.” 
you want to, but you know you can’t. not while there’s still questions left unanswered and theories to be tested. 
“maybe this can ease your mind.” 
mina pounces at the opportunity, locking lips with yours again, not letting up any chance for you to retaliate or move. a swipe of her tongue into your parted mouth catches you off guard, and you start to kiss her back. 
your mind starts to become more hazier and hazier as the seconds pass. mina pushes more into your mouth exploring more, the space behind your back now becoming more open as you two shuffle towards the bed. you don’t even realize it at first because your lips are being cast under the spell of mina’s. 
it’s enchanting, and dangerous. consuming all of you, and you’re powerless to go against it. 
a whimper is let out when mina lightly bites the same spot she bit as a vampire from that night at the gala, and you stop her for a second, clutching her shoulders while she pulls the nipped skin of your scar. 
“this isn’t right…” you try to say, words getting slurred against mina’s mouth as she repeatedly kisses you. turning away to stop her again before anything else happens. 
this feeling is too unfamiliar, and every notion of morality is replaced by lust, or maybe it was all a ploy in mina’s game. 
“mina…” 
you attempt to stop her for one final time, but she’s quick to shut you up, pushing you on the bed, straddling you with one arm over while the other is pinned to the side. you’re too weak to move, inhibitions lowered with half lidded eyes and all of the nerves in your body feel numb. 
“no,” she hushes you, finger against your lips while she trails down to your neck, grazing the two holes on the right side of your throat. “not mina.” 
not mina? this feels like a dream gone bad, but when your eyes are met with hers again, glowing a hint of red underneath the brown—
“sharon.” 
your mind was too far gone to process what was happening. under the alluring spell, the adrenaline suddenly rushes in your veins, snapping you out for a millisecond before sharon’s lips are crashed with yours, subduing you to her spell even more. 
she forces your arms over your head again, head falling to your neck to bite you in the exact same spot like last time, causing you to yell out in pain, sharon pulling away with fangs now bearing along her teeth, small smears of your blood spread across her lips. 
“i forgot how good you tasted.” sharon says, licking up your neck leaking a bit of blood while you squirmed under her, her grip tightening around your wrists and waist keeping you in place. “looks like my little imprinting experiment worked on you. just took a little bit of time for it to take effect.” 
“fuck–y-you—” 
“ah ah ah,” sharon giggles out, “try to resist it with your natural powers, and the spell will only make it worse, hurting you from the inside.” 
your mind is clouded by mina’s–no– sharon’s spell casted from her mouth, causing you to be under her influence. she’s licking her lips at the sight of your face being flushed, and you’re staring off to the side in hopes that all will come to pass, but her hand is quick around your neck, halting your breathing for just a second. 
“is there something that you want from me, hmm?” sharon asks, “because i can fulfill your desires more than mina ever will.” 
shivering under her touch, her fingers find their way under your turtleneck, the electric sensation of her fingertips grazing over your breast while she roughly kisses you again, eyes glowing underneath while you moan into her mouth. the heat is building in between your thighs, rubbing them together with her leg just beneath the space. the natural fight or flight response kicks in from your brain that isn’t taken over by her lust driven powers. when you push her off, making a break for the door before she grabs your shoulders, throwing you onto the frame of the bed, making you grunt at the sudden pain in your back. 
sharon is quick to mount on your hips again, both of her hands wrapped around your neck again, gripping her wrists to try to get them off. she’s hissing at how much you’re resisting, and her nails are dug into your skin, wincing at how sharper they became. “try to be a bad girl for me again, and the next thing you’ll feel is the cold hard ground when i drop you.” 
there’s no point in fighting, her lips are on yours again, the spell a lot more powerful this time around, marking up your neck again that makes you clutch the back of her head to prolong the contact. she rips off the sweater from your chest, dipping down to kiss your breasts still being held captive by your bra. 
she stops for a second, growling at the sudden stoppage of her assault on you. “are you gonna be good for me? i can sense your thoughts before you even make a move.” 
“y-yes.” you say weakly. 
“so desperate,” sharon says, tracing her finger across your cheek. “how pathetic of you to be like this for me.” 
“i–i—” 
sharon tilts her head, snickering at how you were whimpering to say something, clutching your face forcing you to look up at her. “so now you want something?” 
you shouldn’t, how could you let this happen?
“i want you…” 
the mind is too racked with how sharon has handled you, like a drugged being hopelessly in love. 
“to mark me…” 
you mindlessly rip off your bra, the stars sharon is seeing in your eyes while her red orbs are laser focused on your face and the newly exposed area beneath. 
“as yours.” 
you’ve been poisoned.
the toxicity of this moment has engulfed you, and the craving sensation is humbling—embarrassing to say the least. 
this atmosphere in your small space between you and sharon is hot, her eyes gleaming—hypnotizing you under her rule. you can’t resist, you’re mindlessly letting your hands wander up and down her body, and she’s giggling at you. why is she like this? did i mean to say that? i can’t resist this feeling—
i need her, all of her.
“i’m intrigued, y/n.” sharon says, “i saw everything within you, your thoughts and feelings—the way you dream about her. don’t squander away from the truth. mina could never seize an opportunity like this if it weren’t for me.” 
your throat is dry, unable to speak no matter how much you wanted to. in this space where everything seems to fade out from reality, the room grows darker than it already has. sharon leans down, kissing all over your chest before her nails lightly claw over your breasts. you could feel the sharp fang nearly drawing blood to your skin, clutching to her back once her tongue makes contact with the erected bud of your nipple, causing you to bite your lip at the sensation. 
“take my fucking pants off.” you spat, wretched from the way that sharon has been nearly teasing you for quite some time now. “rip it from my body, i’m begging—.” 
“do you think i should listen after putting me in chains when i came to you?” 
her gaze burns through your face, the pit in your stomach deepens. the words that are coming out of your mouth shouldn’t be even said at all. you’ve fantasized about a night with mina—just slightly—-but you envisioned it to be soft and tender.
this version of mina was completely out of left field, despite how feral she was with her disheveled hair, fangs on the upper row of her teeth, the way she effortlessly tossed you on the bed after resisting, how her kisses were more aggressive, rougher. 
to admit it would only ensure your defeat.
“i…” you try to speak, “just—“
the words are slow to bounce off the tongue and teeth, hands grilling the bedsheets under you while sharon’s mouth hovers over your ear. her breath flowing down the canal that makes you move your head from the feeling, and her head follows your movements. 
sharon’s hands are quick around your waist, the cold palms in combination with her mouth marking up any territory that wasn’t touched on your skin, trailing down to your waist that makes your back fucking arch.
“le—let me,” the stuttering words falling out while sharon continues to bite lightly across the plane of your stomach.  
“you taste delicious, that and your blood. i wonder if what you have down there is more mouth-watering to fulfill my cravings.”
“fucking hell, mina—“
“how the mighty have fallen so high.” sharon sighs out, cleaning up your bloodied neck more with her mouth. casually speaking, most people would bleed out at this point but your endurance was well worked for you to still be alive—only to be overpowered by pleasure. “you’ve dreamed about me doing this, haven’t you?”
“not exactly,” you reply, playing along with this game, but you’re not even sure if you’re the one answering or if her spell is answering for you. 
“what if i said that mina is able to do this without my help?” her voice husked out with every bite to it.
sharon is leading this naturally, and all you’re instructed to do is follow and surrender. you don’t even realize the pants coming off of your legs because her eyes are keeping you entranced, teasing you by hovering her lips over yours—inciting a string of mewls and whines that makes her laugh at your appearance. 
you don’t answer her question, resulting in more blood being sucked out of you, sharon humming at the seeping life drained away from your being. 
“please,” you groan out, sharon’s chin grinding along the digits of your abs, spreading you apart, sharp fangs hitting your inner thighs, yelling a quick ‘ah!’. head leaned all the way back from the quick teasing that is nothing but torture. 
sharon waves her hand, whispering out a cantation that materializes chains, clutching your wrists—keeping them apart and spread away from your body. you don’t resist from it, the spell you were under now nullifying all rational thoughts; you were under sharon’s full control. 
“to think the sorcerer supreme would be like this for me, this should be a big achievement.”
she kisses you again, this time more sensually in contrast to her hungry, assertive kisses. her hands cupping your face as she prolongs the feeling of your lips on hers. 
there’s a brief three second period of open air, a relief before you’re caught off guard when her mouth is on your pussy, the flat of her tongue swiping up and in—your feet point forward as her hands are quick to keep your hips in place.
nails digging into your flesh, the sheets below are rumpled up as your hands are clenched into fists against the restraints. your cunt being well worked in addition to your clit being shuffled into the mix.
“god, you’re fucking ravishing. it’s unbelievable.” sharon mumbles as she dives back for more, hips bucking while she claws your breast, the overstimulation from her mouth has you clenching your teeth, hips off from the bed as her tongue is deep in you, so deep.
a pendulum swings in your stomach, the familiar feeling that you’ve been deprived up for so long, from the licking and sucking and hissing and groaning that’s happening at your core, every nick and bone in your body tenses up for the release. it’s only a matter of time until—
“fucking—c-cumming, god mi—“ you say, gritting your teeth together. sharon looks up from your pussy to see the peak of your chin aimed at the ceiling, picturing your face with eyes rolled back against the lids, mouth hanging open and voice straining as if you fight back the moans (you don’t).
sharon helps you ride out your orgasm, lapping up the leaking slit with every part of her tongue, the sharp fangs of her teeth pinching a little around your swollen cunt, pulling away while she cleans her lips with her tongue, admiring the work she has done over you.
“you look so adoring.” she coos, fingers skating up and down your hips, thumb swiping your clit that makes you twitch from the contact of her fingertip. “but you want more don’t you?”
you’re mumbling out this sound from your lips, something like yes, always. it shouldn’t feel this good, but it does. it does. it does. it does, it does—
she soothes the wound on your neck, the bleeding stopped from the two slightly gaping holes on your throat, appearing like a colon. light kisses with a small hiss leaving her lips, she makes her way back up to you, trapping her face with yours for a few moments. 
“so amusing,” she says, expectant and landing kisses on your cheek. you’re left breathless as she murmurs this into your skin, “i’m surprised that you haven’t bled out completely yet.”
(well—i mean—you were the master of the mystic arts, jack of all trades some would say, but that’s irrelevant.)
before you could even answer, her lips are on yours again for however it’s been since you two got back in your apartment. she’s gnawing at your bruised lips, never letting up in savoring the taste of her blood smeared lips, the hints of iron on your taste buds. she pulls away after, your lidded eyes are crossed slightly while fixed on her face, licking your lips for more.
“since you’re so good, i guess i could be a little nicer.” she says, a snap of her fingers that makes the chains on your wrists vanish into thin air. sharon then takes off the shirt, discarding it somewhere off in the room. your eyes widen at the clad chest hanging over you, salivating while she sighs with her hands bracing the headboard. 
“you can touch me now.” she says lowly, prompting you to let your hands finally have fun for a bit, rubbing up and around sharon’s midsection to your heart’s content. sharon sighs at the contact of your hands, biting her lip at the appearance of your dried blood smeared all over your neck and chest, the hickeys also present before you got ahead of yourself when she feels your lips nipping at her collarbone, causing her to push you back onto the bed forcefully. 
“i don’t like that.” she says, indulging another bite into your neck–your weak spot at this point before she plants her lips with yours to keep the spell in effect, this time leaving you completely incapacitated. “you’ve lost your touching privileges, now i’m going to absolutely ruin you.” 
your mind tries to respond, but a part of you already understands. predator to prey, this was how it is now. 
her lone hand trails down as you feel the nails skate over your sensitive skin. face flushed hot pink just like yours that was more crimson than hers, but the sensation grows down under when sharon parts your folds, causing your hips to shift off to the side the more she continues her up and down motion. 
“f-fuck–more…plea–se, fuck mi–shit–” you’re slurring your words at this point while sharon teased you yet again, holding off everything in your thoughts to move while she’s whispering something into your ear again, the tone and eroticness just enough to make your head explode. 
“what am i to you?” 
“y-yours…” 
“say it again.” 
trying to shake off her head on the side of you, it doesn’t work. defying wasn’t the answer—it’s even worse when she slips a finger inside your cunt, feeling how slick it has become while she soothed you again with a soft kiss on your jaw. a whine being the only pathetic utterance coming out of your mouth. 
“don’t make me ask again.” sharon snarls, fangs grazing your face while she clutches the roots of your hair. “if you want more, say it.” 
“i’m yours sharon…” you say and the fog swallows you whole in your mind.
“lovely, you’ve earned it.” 
another digit is inserted inside you, causing you to moan more loudly than before. the litany of curses that leaves your mouth is nothing more than a classical arrangement. sharon's long and slender fingers slide in and out effortlessly, and she’s just enjoying the moment hearing these sounds out of you. 
the pace continues on for more, and you’re gritting your teeth–trying to fight the inevitable. she senses this, feeling it. you’re stifling a moan with your hand over your mouth, but sharon swipes it away, holding it down on the pillow before she bites into your shoulder to make you feel the mix of pain and pleasure.
“you can keep calling me mina or sharon, darling. either way, she can hear these lovely sounds coming out of you. let me hear it all.” 
“s-stop–” you whine, the senseless fucking in a consistent rhythm still present all over your body. sharon can only keep smirking while you’re about to become unraveled again. 
“scream for me, i can feel you arching.” 
the moment comes in a flash, your body is simply past its limits—limits that you didn’t even think were possible in a time like this, and you yell out and fall slack, twitching while sharon keeps the contact in your pussy with her fingers, pulling out soon after with her fingers covered with your juices. you were thoroughly fucked. 
she towers over your body, the marks, hickeys, flushed face, puffy pussy and lips, tousled hair, the bruised wrists from the chains. the glowing red eyes fade away for a slight millisecond, back to mina, and she doesn’t say a word before sharon returns. she then showers a few light kisses, before biting into the other side of your neck—marking her territory again while sucking away another few pints of blood before retreating completely. 
your eyes try to stay open as much as possible, you’re too sterile to really move or do anything, so you just lay barren, exposed and wrecked, just how she wanted you to be. 
“you belong to me, my beautiful masterpiece…” she whispers out to you, the airy breath leaving her lips while your mind slips into the darkness of unconsciousness. 
Tumblr media
the following day after that night was an unwelcome one. 
you’re taking inventory, and recounting damage around the room, sitting at your dining table alone (wearing regular clothes instead of being naked) with a depressing glass of water. 
mina left you again, and this time it feels like it would be for real. 
no traces, no note, no lead of where she might have gone–it was simply back to square one, just like before back at the hospital. this was a losing battle, and it was only a matter of time before the chief and detective park put themselves into the mix of finally capturing mina. the clock was dwindling, and you still haven’t found a viable solution to save her. 
desperate times call for desperate measures. 
a snap of your fingers brings five spellbooks this time, each one of the opening to a page that had a multitude of spells and tricks that you can use to combat against mina sharon. you’ve been played, got karma for putting a vampire in chains. not to mention, you’ve had a throbbing headache since you woke up after—
you slam the table out in anger, the sound of a small hiss leaving your lips. pissed off and frustrated (mentally and sexually) you storm out to the window overlooking the city while your mind is tirelessly thinking about how to end this once and for all. there was one more ace in your deck of cards, the last resort that you didn’t think you’d have to use—but there’s no other choice. 
behind your tv was a safe that kept a very old crusty spellbook that wasn’t meant to leave outside kamar taj, but you kept it as a souvenir after your bout with dormammu. turning to a specific page, you recall suggesting the exorcism spell that wong was very much against, resulting at the cost of one’s life, something that you were willing to do if it meant to save the city once more. 
you’re staring at the hand signs to commence the spell, determined to use this if needed when your phone vibrates on the coffee table, seeing the message on your lockscreen that speeds up the whole process of everything that’s happened. 
nay: 
the lab’s been raided
mr. myoui was panicking around the courtyard 
then he went missing 
y/n: 
where is he now? 
nay: 
the abandoned cathedral 
this might be for real 
put on your best suit. 
from that last text, you stare at the ripped page that carried the exorcism spell. this was it, now or never—a final confrontation between the father and daughter, the ninth symphony. you’re jumping out of the window with your cloak of levitation following right behind you. 
Tumblr media
you eventually make it to the old abandoned cathedral, sneaking up to the bell tower that fed into the upper atrium towards the back. quietly sneaking through a walkway on the side, listening to the growing exchange of voices below once you got closer. 
“mina, i know you’re angry, but you have to understand–”
“you could never understand! what you put us through, the false picture you’ve painted us as, the way you’re not taking responsibility!” 
“this won’t bring your brother back.” 
“this was never about him!” 
you get to a vantage point that views the altar below. mr. myoui on the steps while mina is right in front of him, inching closer and closer to him. the cue to intervene was about to happen, but you’re waiting for the right time to step in. 
mr. myoui tries to get up but mina forces him back down with a gust of wind. “i did what was best for you, i swear! it was for the sake of your own well being!” 
“i didn’t ask for these powers in the first place!” mina exclaimed, “you and your stupid obsession to live longer has grown far too old, it’s a dumb fantasy.” 
“and yet look at you, a reincarnation of our family vision for so many years. you’re the perfect rendition of so many attempts!” 
mina’s eyes glow red again, but this time it appears she got it under control. 
“for irene, dahyun, miyeon, all of them throughout our history, and i’m the last one?” 
mr. myoui laughed, like this was everything that went against what you initially thought of the man. “you want to get rid of your powers? it’s impossible, the machine that caused the whole accident has been destroyed a long time ago.”
“then i’ll just have to kill you then.” mina says in a monotone voice, lunging forward that makes mr. myoui cover up in fear. 
that’s your cue. 
in a swift motion, you make your entrance from above, landing right in the middle of mr. myoui and mina, putting your arms out to ease the tension of the situation between the two of them, not wanting to end this in a fight. 
“y/n?” mina asks, bewildered. 
“this isn’t the way to do things, i’ve said this before multiple times.” you say, keeping your gaze locked on mina before switching over to mr. myoui, acknowledging him with a simple nod. in perfect timing, wong enters the cathedral from above, just right behind mina with his hands bearing orange protective circles. 
“sure took your time to get here wong.” 
“i know you took the forbidden book, but we can save that for later.” he barks, making you smirk at the small exchange. 
things eventually escalated to worse, when the police started to barge in from all four corners of the cathedral, closing in to the center of the church, guns primed and ready, men and women clamoring the four of you to get down on the ground mixed with hands in the air. (it’s never one because of the other, god the police force is confusing sometimes) 
you’re yelling at the top of your lungs, trying to get your message across to the police, did they really think it would be a good idea to shoot at a literal superhero who saved the universe? wong is also doing the same thing, stepping closer behind mina who has her hands up like mr. myoui. too many things happening in this chaotic, better yet—who the hell tipped off the police?!
“alright everyone, settle down!” you hear the voice of the chief coming in on the loudspeaker, jihyo’s gun is also trained to you four. “we don’t have to get all antsy with this, we just want to talk.” he says, “mr. myoui, are you willing to comply with the police if you turn yourself in?” 
“you’re batshit crazy if i’m going to do that!” he yells, forcing you to look at him as he did. you feel a small sense–a tingle of sorts–formulating in the back of your mind. sound deafens out from your eardrums, and your vision starts to get cloudy, but you’re brought back when mr. myoui is calling out to you to reason with the chief. “tell them y/n! i’m the innocent one here!” 
“i think we can all solve this without anyone getting hurt.” you say, reassuring the crowd with your hands, spinning around to see that you had no intention to harm or retaliate. “nobody has to die tonight.” 
as soon as you say that, the dimmed lights flicker on then off, making you and everyone look up at the sudden change, but the sense comes back again, this time it’s more stronger–like you’re being controlled.
“well,” mina’s voice catches your ears, turning towards her as she stands idly, arms lowering, “just one person though, if that’s okay with you…” 
her eyes glowed red again, tilting her head as if she were commanding you while your eyes roll to the back of your head.
a flurry of black flashes flow in instant seconds. 
one moment you were standing, the next moment you were kneeled over mr. myoui who was on the floor. 
clutching his neck that was gnawed at, blood spewing out uncontrollably, gasping for air. you don’t register it for a second, but then you see the bite mark, and the small stains of blood across your palm, fangs in your teeth shown in the reflected pool surrounding him. you don’t remember doing that, at all. 
mina made you do that. 
while your natural instinct was to protect the person you once saved, your look then shifts over to mina who’s weaving around the policemen, bodies flying everywhere and bullets are in the space. wong is also chasing after mina, keeping the police force at bay while trying to get you back to your senses, yelling repeatedly amidst the chaos that reaches you. 
“fuck,” you mutter out, darting to catch mina from her blind spot, she senses this and changes her direction last second, causing you to crash into two police men, slicing the barrels from their guns to stop them from shooting. mina then grabs you from behind, tossing you like she did on the bed, this time to a stone pillar, holding you by the shoulders as she growled out when you try to shake her off. 
“mina, stop this!” you yell, pushing her face away before another policeman tries to fire at her, you’re dodging the bullets while moving your hands to make a spell, placing it on the ground that erupts tree roots that canvas the open area around the altar. 
the room shakes again as you see mina float up for a few seconds, a blue amber surrounds her, before pounding into the ground that makes everyone catch some air. you’re not fazed by this as your cloak of levitation keeps you from touching the ground, and you form an orange whip that catches mina’s hand, pulling her up before landing a solid hit to her midsection that sends her crashing to the centerpiece table. 
you’d worry about if you hurt her or not, but the cathedral starts to shake again, the fragile structure now crumbling around the group that shifts this final battle into save and survey. you see a number of policemen and women make a break to the outside exits, a hint of jihyo’s hair making a break for the exit as well, helping her comrades while the chief is scouring through the rubble for something, or someone.
“chief! it’s too dangerous here, you gotta get out!” 
“i’m not leaving without akira!” 
he wasn’t the priority, not now. you sprint to the broken table, seeing that mina was still down on the ground, shaking her up to wake, “mina, mina wake up!” she eventually comes to, and a small sense of relief leaves your lips. 
mina’s head is still ringing from the fall, and her eyes eventually fixate on you. getting her up from the rubble, the place is still shaking, a part of the roof had already caved in towards the back, and it was going to be that way if you and her don’t leave now. 
“can you move?” you ask her, to which she nods, she was back to her normal self. that was one thing off the checklist, now for—
a gunshot is sounded off behind you. 
you look at mina, and then you look down to see a stain of blood underneath her shirt. she falls into your arms while you turn around to see that it was mr. myoui who fired the shot, clutching his neck while doing so before an overarching piece of the building falls on top of him, solidifying his permanent demise. 
mina clutches your cheek, she’s gasping for air while you’re denying the sad expression that’s breaking through your face right now. “hey hey hey, stay with me, please.” you plead, pressing down on the wound in her stomach, making her wince at the sharp pain, forcing your hand off. “i gotta do this to stop the bleeding mina, you’re not dying on me.” 
her breath becomes shallow, and more of the broken stones start to fall around you, leaving you trapped in the small area. wong is able to spot you, fireman carrying a wounded policeman, ducking his head from the tumbling structure. “l/n! we have to go now!” he yells at you, noticing you holding mina’s limp body.
“don’t worry about me! get out of here!” you instruct wong, as he nods, making a break for the last opening before it’s closed off by the collapsing pillar. mina’s hand clutches to the back of your neck, forcing your look on her again, but it’s not her that’s doing it but—
“when one life dies, the other lives.” sharon hisses out, the other persona rightfully taking control of the body while she laughs at your ‘losing’ face. 
you simply close your eyes at the realization of what you have to do now. 
mouthing the activation words for the exorcism spell, you lay your palm flat on her chest as it glowed purple–the indication for dark magic–as a circle forms beneath you two. sharon’s evil laugh is all you’re hearing as the warbling of the spell continues to get louder, overpowering her voice. the energy coursing through your veins while the circle gets bigger around you, the stones closing in. 
a white light glows from your palm flat on sharon’s chest, before lifting both hands like an offering to the gods above, sharon feels a weird sensation in her body–like the life force was being sucked out of her body away from mina, and that’s the case really. 
“no! no no no, what are you doing? stop this! stop this now!” she demands, the restraints you put on her while the main spell was working doing it’s work once again, nullifying her movement and while the warped sound gets louder and louder.
you let out a controlled breath before placing your hands on her chest again, eyes opening glowing stark white before you're shielding her from the falling debris over your head with your hand, the building caving in on top of you.
Tumblr media
mina’s body jolts in her sleep, eyes fluttering open and focusing around the dim dark room. the regalness of the bed and the history around it indicating that it was your room in the sanctum sanctorum. 
she shifts around the covers, noticing the empty space behind her, door ajar leading to the hallway. she tries to remember what had happened before she ended up here, but can’t. was it a bad dream? everything that’s happened up till this point even real? she can’t put a finger on it to recall, and her body feels sore still, almost gingerly. 
laying on her side, she closes her eyes from looking at the draped curtains that cover the bright, cloudy morning of the city. her ears pick up the sound of soft footsteps coming from the hall and into the door. you’re walking in with a small tray of herbal teas that looked like they could be hundreds of years old from the scent to the appearance of the cups as you place it on the nightstand. 
“mina.” you call out her name softly, and her eyes blink open to the sight of you standing on the edge of the bed, grumbling into the sheets while she shifts around to get her brain to stay awake now. you sit right next to her, hand on her slightly exposed shoulder peeking out before leaning down to leave a few kisses across her cheek. 
mina then sits up slightly, elbows propped up on the pillow. she’s staring at your loosely fitted oversized shirt that shows the pucker-shaped bruises shadowing across your throat from the night prior. she attempts to move while you’re stopping her from doing any more actions, “not too much moving now.” you say, hand on her chest to keep at bay. “how are you feeling?” 
“i don’t know,” she responds, “i can’t seem to remember much from what happened. it’s like the whole memory is gone to me.” 
“well, the only thing that matters is that you’re fine now, and safe.” you say, slotting yourself under the sheets and tangling your limbs with mina before finally getting comfortable in the bed with your arms around her. 
mina wants to protest, something doesn’t feel right about this. there’s no place she’d rather be than in your arms, doing exactly what you set out to do; save her. the freedom from her family is so liberating even if she’s slumbering off in your chest by the minute.
you’re moving a part of hair past her ear, looking down at mina while she subconsciously pouts her lips for you to kiss, the exchange of inhales and feeling of her hot mouth intoxicating you the more you two lazily fight for dominance, still tired from last night’s exploration of each other’s bodies. 
she mumbles something against your mouth, pulling away while you’re grazing your thumb across her cheek and jaw, planting another kiss before backing off to take in the details of her sleeping face. her soft breathing and the subtle rise and fall of her chest flush with yours makes you drink in the sight a little more than usual compared to previous occasions. 
hand propped on your head, your eyes lower down from her cheekbone to her jaw, then to her slender neck—where there was a noticeable bite mark highlighted for you to see.
you simply smile at the work you’ve done, eyes hinted with a glowing red beneath your irises before fading out back to your original eye color. feeling the fangs in your upper row with your tongue before they retract back to your normal set of teeth.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Take Me Back to Eden - Choke Hold - Part 1
Take Me Back To Eden - Granite - Part 2
Take Me Back To Eden - Aqua Regia - Part 3
Take Me Back to Eden - Ascensionism - Part 4
Word Count: 8.1k
Fluff/Angst/Suggestive
Summary: Y/N leaves Nayeon's apartment and gets a phone call from an unexpected person, resulting in a hang out session that quickly develops into a series of unexpected events.
TW: Cursing, teasing, momo is there for a second, mina is here, references to sex, making out for sure, abusive behavior (nayeon is crazy yall) a dream sequence thats a little wild, choking, crime, uh....jihyo is upset? its a lot lmao
A/N: We are taking an interesting turn in the story lmao. Per usual we are thanking the moots bc they listen to me rattle ideas off constantly and keep me sane while I stress myself out lmao @saiiidahyunee @nr1chaedickrider @miinatozakiii and @neoplatinum. <3 I also did not proof read this one as much as the others bc I don't have as much time on my hands now, so sorry if it seems a little off but thank you for reading either way<33
--
“Mina?” perplexed immediately at the idea of the quietest person you were acquainted with calling you, especially at a time where you were completely overwhelmed. 
“Momo told me what happened and I asked for your number… I hope that's okay.” She's so soft spoken it almost shocks you to hear her say this many words at once.
Slowly coming to a halt at a red light while putting your phone on speaker and replying “Yes, that’s totally okay…uhm, sorry, I’m…a little all over the place right now.” mind flashing back to the struggle of processing what possessed you to let your guard down around Nayeon…again.
This was the first real conversation you were having with Mina, always around each other but saying few words, with the exception being pleasantries and small conversations about video games that had just been released or what lego sets she was currently building. 
There was a comfort there, an almost silent respect for who and how she was. Calm, quiet, collected in the face of new company. Shying away from conversation but always aware of everyone around her. 
The members of Twice, especially Momo, always teased her about being so silent. It was always in good fun, but there were a few times you stepped in to tell her to lay off Mina and to respect that she was on the quieter side instead of pushing her to the point of speaking when she didn’t want to. 
It’s almost like she can hear the hesitancy in your voice and your eyes searching around you as you try to figure out what to say to break the awkwardness that was brewing. You weren’t exactly in a stable mindset at the moment, for multiple reasons and weren’t exactly sure what the phone call was for. 
“I know we don’t really know each other too well but…uhm, I know we have some common interests and that you could probably use a friend right now…so I figured I would call and see if you wanted to get a coffee or something…or maybe just sit on the couch and play videogames or…  something.” half way stumbling through the sentence, showing a little nervousness as she spoke. 
Myoui Mina wants to hang out? The same Mina who barely speaks up during group activities, is asking to spend time with you? Not that you would oppose her company but it seems so out of character for this to be happening. 
“That sounds…really nice. I’d love to. Would you…want to text me your schedule for the next week or two and we can plan it from there?” Smiling back at her through the speaker attempting to hide the disbelief that overshadowed most of your other feelings.
“Sounds good, I’ll text you.” sounding a little panicked, she hangs up as quickly as she calls.
She was right, with you two having a few hobbies in common, it was unfortunate that you hadn’t hung out before. Nayeon was always so “protective” over you that there were certain members she wouldn’t let you hang out with alone. Jihyo, for obvious reasons, Sana, and Mina.
 You didn’t pretend that you understood why she was so adamant on you not hanging out with Sana alone until now. Hindsight is 20/20 and Nayeon was worried that you would find comfort in the arms of someone else the same way she did. The puzzle suddenly solved, the behavior that you used to view as protective, now unmasking itself to divulge its true form. Control.
 You were simply a bragging right to Nayeon and nothing else. “Look how amazing she is, that she did this for me.” always bragging about you to her members, especially when Jihyo was there. Motive is only clear now, as you unfold the intricate details and analyze her behavior from your memories. 
Possessive, controlling, and selfish. The behavior she showed you was very well disguised but small moments reveal the truth. Her covertness was easily picked apart now that you were close to having all the information when a loud horn blares from behind you. Looking up to a Green light, hitting the gas pedal quickly as you continue on the way home, trying not to get too wrapped up in your head. 
Your phone starts vibrating again, being sure to check the name before you answer this time. Momo’s name lights up on the screen, “Speaking of the devil” huffing because you wanted to sort out this wearisome information you were pulling apart in your mind. Deep breath as you slide to answer the call.
“Hey Momoring, what’s up?” Putting on a cheerful sound in a bid to drown out the overstimulation you were experiencing, but Momo could always see right through you, being one of the people who knew you best. 
“Y/n, where are you??” sounding a little baffled, and reflecting concern as she spoke.
“Uhm…” leaning forward to catch one of the passing street signs.
“Passing 72nd about to get on the highway…is everything okay?” showing worry for the way she spoke, wondering if you should change routes and go to Momo’s instead of home. 
“I’m fine but I’m coming over.”  hearing the car door slam, keys jingling, and the ignition start over the speaker. 
“Let yourself in if you get there before me.” squinting as you reply, wondering if there are any visible marks on your skin or how disheveled you look, Momo would be sure to notice and say something. 
“Perfect, I’ll see you soon.” Momo curiously laughed as the call ended which got you wondering why she was rushing over to your place as you merge onto the highway. 
Driving on the highway at this time of day was easier than anticipated. Allowing you to get lost in your head as you continued on the path to home. Flashes of Nayeon underneath you rewind in your head, disgusted by your actions and stirring in your seat, revealing your sweater sticking to your back.
More flashes of her scraping roughly down your back as you attack her neck with your teeth, grazing them along her throat lightly, pinning her to the mattress, fucking her face and then just leaving afterwards. Using her as an allegory for taking back your freewill that you didn’t know you were missing. 
__
The new apartment was brighter and warmer than the last, welcoming you back home when stepping through the door. The living room to the left and the kitchen straight forward, you happily look at the space you’ve decorated for yourself. 
Most of the colors were different shades of gray. Black and white accents with hints of green displaced here and there, mostly by the plants you purchased wanting to have some semblance of life in the rooms, Nayeon never watered the plants so they always died but you were determined to integrate the things you once loved back into your life. 
Two matching gray couches lay diagonally from each other with a long black coffee table filling out the space in between, your favorite bamboo candle in the middle of the table, a tv remote, and a few books scattered around the table, illuminated by the fireplace to the right of the seating arrangements.
 A large flat screen mounted on the wall and a credenza underneath, holding the gaming consoles you bought for yourself when you moved in.
Nayeon was never one for video games and did everything in her power to keep you from playing them, even on your phone. Always distracting you when you were in the middle of a match, always standing in front of the TV in something lacey. Sliding her hand down the front of your pants while kissing your neck, as you tried to play your handheld. 
Not minding it too much at first, she has an extensive lingerie collection and you loved to admire her in all of them, but all of your own hobbies got pushed to the side as time went on. A tactic to control that you didn’t recognize sooner.  
Momo was already on your new couch, making herself at home when you arrived, walking straight to the living room and placing your collection of things down on the coffee table loudly, glaring at her like you had just seen war.  
Looking up at you from her phone, she audibly gasps at the state of you. Hair completely tousled, tired eyes, light marks all over your neck, and your sweater on backwards. Mess was a really nice way to put it.
“I know what you did!” shrieked out of Momo's mouth while you’re turning beet red and fidgeting with your sleeves silently. Puckering your lips and trying to escape the awkwardness you feel as she gawks at you openly, despite your embarrassment.
“You look so red right now! I didn’t know if I believed Jihyo when she told me what happened but now I can safely say she was telling the truth” belly laughing at the idea of Hyo getting a taste of her own medicine and Nayeon being exactly who she showed herself to be. 
“What did you just say? You talked to Jihyo?! It only took me like 10 minutes to get home and she’s calling people about it?!” surprised at how quickly the news traveled through the grapevine, wondering who else she called to tell. 
“A pissed off Jihyo works fast. Told me that she walked into Nayeon’s apartment with you leaving, neck covered in marks” pointing at your neck, tongue between her teeth as she bites back a laugh, “and Nayeon, naked in the bed absolutely covered in bruises. Hyo said that she could barely get her talk…I take it you put in some work, no?” Poking fun at you while she laughed so hard she slaps her knee.
Hands flying to cover the unease on your face while collapsing into the couch adjacent to the one Momo was on, belly first, letting out a long whine. This was going to be a big deal and what were the rest of the members going to be told when you stop showing up to functions with Nayeon? Would Nayeon tell them the whole truth or just that you weren’t together?
Hating the idea of what you said to Jihyo when you left the apartment, knowing it was out of anger and halfway wanting to apologize for your actions but brushing that feeling off quickly. Needing to solely focus on yourself instead of trying to make anyone else feel better. Heavily empathizing with what Hyo might be feeling currently.  
“Wait, so this just happened…like less than an hour ago?” quizzically asking like Momo didn’t already know the answer just to bring you back from whatever was going on in your head.
“Less than that actually” muffled by the couch and your hands while you spiral into an entire inner monologue about why, when you feel like it should’ve never happened, letting out a sigh and showing signs of stress.
“Jihyo is absolutely the angriest I’ve ever heard her, it’s kind of funny to know karma is almost instant for her. She did mention that she wanted to talk to you and asked if I had heard from you…I told her no but she didn’t believe me.” Momo interrupts herself to change the topic of Jihyo in all of this back to you.
 “I mean…what happened anyway? You were anti-nayeon for the last few weeks, did something change or?” questioning your motive as she sees you distressed.
“Oh I know she’s mad and I don’t know, - I just went back to get the rest of my stuff and she was following me around the house,” sitting up and leaning back trying to relax. Stinging on your back, another reminder of the story being told, as you move trying to get comfortable while halfway wincing. Momo cocking her head to the side as you suck air between your teeth
“What was that?” 
Eyes widen for a second, “Nothing!” expeditiously spoken.
“She fucked your back up again, didn’t she?” Half laughing again as you attempt to continue what you were saying. 
“Anyways, she said she wanted to talk so I turned around and she just looked me in my eyes and kissed me…I didn’t really know what to do because I mean-” scooching to the edge of the couch and putting your elbows on your knees and holding your chin as your eyes dampen.
“It’s Nayeon…I know I shouldn’t care, and I’m trying not to but even if the last 3 years weren’t real for her…” choking on your words as they come out unfiltered. “It was real for me.”
More tears falling, this was a mistake. Reopening the wounds that were still healing as you sat with yourself, taking in the knowledge that people were upset with the choices you made didn’t sit well, even if those people were involved in hurting you.
Sad eyes sitting on the couch diagonal to you, realizing that intentions weren’t to hurt anyone else, as she watched. Momo wished she knew what to do in the face of this or knew what to say to comfort you, there was a feeling of sorrow in her, a space held for her best friend’s troubles. 
“Jihyo also said that you had something interesting to say to her before you left” smirking and biting her lips, trying to suppress a smile. Bringing it up knowing it would make you laugh and momentarily forget the anguish you were almost drowning yourself in.
“Oh, did she?” replying with a snarky tone, unable to remember most of the encounter with Jihyo due to adrenaline, being angry with Jihyo for sleeping with your girlfriend behind your back, and wanting to get the fuck out of there before Nayeon could try to talk to you again. 
“I don’t really think she will be much use to you tonight but you can try and, oh, I hope you like the way I taste.” Momo shouted back at you, cackling as she held her stomach leaning as far back into the couch as she could, pulling the sides of your mouth up as she continued.
“That is so out of pocket, but honestly, hilarious!” bellowing out at you as you start to giggle at the statement made, knowing that she was trying to make light of the situation but also appreciating that you said something so petty. 
Originally feeling bad for saying anything, jaw tightening for a second as  “An eye for an eye” wasn’t normally something you believed in and it wasn't really your plan to go and sleep with Nayeon, it kind of just happened. 
“Hey, is it okay if Dahyun comes here after her schedule? She apparently got that call from Jihyo too.” 
“Of course, you don’t even have to ask!”
A phone clattering against the table as it interrupted your conversation, vibrating twice before stopping. Reaching for it to see an unfamiliar number on your screen and a list of times and dates, a schedule? Mina’s schedule.
“Hey, I forgot to mention, Mina called me today” nonchalantly mumbled to Momo over the tv show she had put on in the background. 
Gasping loudly, sliding her fingers through her hair, eyes bewildered while leaning closer, “She CALLED…you?” comes out of her mouth so quickly, surprised your ears could even break down what she said. 
“Yeah, weren’t you the one who gave her my number?” a little disoriented by the response, as if she was surprised Mina contacted you at all. 
“She doesn’t even call me and I’ve known her for a decade.” astonished that her adopted younger sister would reach out through a phone call and not a text… 
“We are going to hang out sometime soon. She just sent me her schedule so we could plan it.” looking back at your phone to “heart” the text Mina sent and replying for the following day in the early afternoon, making sure to save her phone number in your phone with a little penguin emoji.
“Mina is going to leave the house?” stunned as you spoke about your future plans with Momo’s favorite homebody. 
“I take it she doesn’t do that often either?” chuckling back at Momo while you open a delivery app on your phone and choosing a restaurant with a low delivery time. 
“I’m hungry, what do you want from the Thai place down the street?” asking as Momo grabs your phone to put her order in it.
“Oh, I’m sure you’re hungry after the evening you had!” teasingly from behind the phone as she finishes adding her meal to the cart, and handing it back to you.”
“Momo!”
__
Waking up anxious on the day that you and Mina were going to get coffee was not a great start, barely any sleep in your eyes with your hands shaking, rolling out of your bed around 10:30am. Grabbing your phone, you head to the living room without changing out of your PJs and plopping down on the couch. 
Turning on the TV and opening your phone to text Mina. 
Y/N: Hey Mina! I woke up a little anxious this morning and I know we have plans today. Would it be okay if you just came to my apartment instead of us going out? 10:34am
Y/N: Maybe we can have a gaming day or something? 10:35am
🐧: Sounds good to me. Send me the address whenever you’re ready for me to head over. 10:37am
🐧: Sorry you are feeling anxious. 10:38am
About 2 hours later, after showering and cleaning up the space a little bit, you sent Mina your address. Wearing something cozy but presentable, wanting to make a semi-decent impression as this was the first time you were hanging out with Mina alone. 
A small knock can be heard on the door, quickly walking over and opening it to reveal the small frame of Mina, backpack on, two coffees in her hands and a very shy look on her face. 
“I know you said you were anxious and coffee probably isn’t the solution for that but I figured I’d grab you one just in case you did want some.” softly explaining the two coffees before hellos can be said. 
“Come on in, make yourself at home and thank you! I’d love some coffee” as she hands you the cup and you take a sip. It’s exactly what you normally order. Just enough sugar to counteract the bitterness and a splash of cream. 
Whipping your head to face her quickly, “how did you know my order?” happily confused as you gulp a few times and head for the living room with her gracefully following, after sliding her shoes off. 
“I asked Momo this morning when you texted me. I’ve seen you drink coffee a few times when you were coming to hang out with us. I was worried you’d get a caffeine headache if you didn’t have some…” mumbled as you picked your spots on the couch, and turned on your console.
“It’s so sweet that you would think of me like that, Mina, Thank you.” genuinely surprised by the act of kindness. Someone you hardly knew went out of the way for you and that warmed you more than you anticipated. 
Mina’s ears went red while you thanked her for the coffee. Embarrassed and feeling like she came on a little too strongly, before you mentioned you thought it was sweet. Fidgeting with her hands, walls down for a second, a gummy smile let out from her as she sifts through your list of games, choosing a fighting game.
Astounded by how good Mina was at the game, you tipped your fake hat in her direction. She let you win a few times before really showing you how good she was, getting more competitive each round you played. 
Putting on a random movie and switching to handheld games on the switch you could play together, both of you sat for hours and talked about life, getting to know each other a little bit more. It was nice to spend time with someone and not have to talk about Nayeon. 
There was a familiarity with Mina, something unexplainable about her presence that made her so calming. Hoping that you might ignite a similar comfort in her, the anxiety no longer sat in your chest as you got to know her more. 
Learning a lot about her as she spoke of her family, life back in Japan before she was an idol, about how when her, Momo, and Sana went back for the Misamo debut, they went to her family's home and she got to eat her mom’s home cooked meals. Making mental notes of what her favorite dishes were and how she spoke so lovingly about the people she held near and dear to her. 
“So, Y/N, I’m getting a little hungry, do you want to go out to get something or would you rather order it here?” The body language she was exhibiting was interesting, half closed half open. Arms lay in her lap by her switch but her legs were tightly locked. Was she comfortable here? Did she feel nervous about opening up so quickly?
“Why don’t we go out?” Suggesting while standing up, fixing your sweat pants. Maybe she just needs a little fresh air so she can relax. Suddenly feeling the need to calm her the way she eased you out of your anxiety unknowingly. 
“Sounds good, there’s a new cafe around the corner, it’s a locally owned place. I think they serve Japanese food. Would you want to try that?” 
“That sounds great, actually. I’d love to, especially after you talked about your mom’s cooking.” Her expression thrilled as she ran to put her shoes on, doing a little happy wiggle as she waited for you by the door. 
You can’t help but chuckle at her. A glint of warmth refracting in your soul.
– 
The cafe was only a block away and it was a nice afternoon so you walked side by side, making sure that you were the one closest to the street. Taking in the scenery of the new neighborhood, little shops lining the road around you from markets to touristy stores, hands unintentionally brushing each other. 
“These shops seem cool, maybe we should come back another day and explore them.” Looking over at Mina as you speak, trying to pretend like your heart didn’t combust when your hands touched. The comment catches her off guard, shying into herself as you make the suggestion. 
“I’d love that” whispered back to you. That means there will be a next time and that sparks joy in you. 
Arriving at the cafe and getting a small table outside, ordering a bottle of Sake before ordering food. 
“Can I order for you?” Mina asks, shifting her eyes from the menu, this was a test. It was written all over her face as she studied your reaction. 
Squinting at her with a smile on your face, “if you’re up for the challenge,” biting back playfully. The second gummy slime shines off of her as she laughs at your terrible joke. “I think I’m up for the challenge.” competitively stated back with the corners of her mouth turned up. 
Leaning into the menu, reading it line by line as she zeros her focus in. Watching the way the wheels spun in her head as you see her fold the menu and put it on the table, softly smiling back at you with a sense of accomplishment.
The waitress scurried over with the tokkuri and ochoko set, the ceramic vessel was bulbous indenting at the neck and expanding back out again while the smaller cups had a golden brown rim with a gray-ish green hue, sitting on the tray neatly. 
“Alright, and here is the sake. Are we ready to order our food yet or do we need a little more time?” placing the rigged craft in front of you, and the smaller cups in front of each of you as her eyes flashed between the two of you to see who will speak up first. . 
“Yes. We are ready to order.” Calmly said as the dialect switched. Blinking a few times at Mina while she ordered completely in Japanese to the waitress, pointing at the menu and speaking with her hands. Nodding her head at the response from the waitress as she handed her the menus and turning her attention back to you. 
Gracefully grabbing the vessel with one hand, pouring your glass and another smooth movement, handing it to you as she placed the craft down on the small table. 
“You really wanted dinner to be a surprise, huh?” Playfully before sipping the sake politely and placing it down on the table.
 Picking up the tokkuri and trying to pour her a glass with as much class as she did, but failing when you looked up at her. Getting lost in her features as she watched you. “Was she always so…effervescent? High cheekbones, sharp eyes and a softness that was infectious an-“ Realizing you were still pouring, you abruptly stop almost spilling sake everywhere. Handed her the ochoko sheepishly after you had filled it a little too full. 
“Maybe.” peeking up at you through her bangs as she took a small drink, chasing it with a smile and a giggle, covering her mouth with her hand that was sleeve clad, and turning red as her cheeks raised up.
 Did she notice how you were looking at her? Oh god, I hope I didn’t just make things weird. A moment of panic in your body nags at you as she beams in front of you. Wow…she’s so pretty. Half mesmerized, half alarmed at your thoughts, your leg starts bouncing and fidgeting with your hands becomes your fixation, as they lay on the small metal table in front of you. 
Lost in thought as you try to push away the unwelcome intrusion of nervousness, when a small velvet hand reaches out and gently places itself on the anxious tick that’s visible. Your heart skips. Eyes locking as you peer up at her, stopping in your tracks. A chill runs through your body as you take in the pureness diffusing the unease like the rain washing away blood stains on the battleground of your mind. How did she do that?
Internally realizing that you might have a slight attraction to the person you’ve just begun to hang out with, you’re slightly panicked by the idea of getting close to someone again so soon after Nayeon. Unfortunately, this realization played out on your face softly enough for the person accompanying you to dinner to notice. 
“I’m sorry” uttered quickly as she pulled her hands away, moving your hands into your lap at the same moment.  “I didn’t ask you if you were a physical touch person, I should have.” Mina is looking down now, seemingly worried that she crossed a line she wasn’t supposed to. 
“No no- it’s fine, really. I do like physical touch…I’m just not used to it from anyone except for Nay-“ interrupted by the waitress bringing out your dinner. Slicing through the moment as she placed two similar dishes in front of both of you. Tonkotsu ramen topped with shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, bok choy, bamboo shoots, double the chashu, and a soft-boiled egg that’s split in half, golden yolk spilling into the array of rich colors.
Stunned as you look at the delicious meal in front of you, “Wow, this looks amazing! Did you get the same thing?” questioning as you finish off the last of the sake in your cup. 
Mina notices and immediately fills it again with a soft smile. “Almost the same thing, I remembered you don’t care for the fish cakes so I had them swap my chashu with them.” followed by her finishing off her sake to keep up with you.
Pouring of the drink for her, this time focusing as hard as your brain would allow so you could get it just right under the eyes studying your movements. “You knew that?” amazed that Mina remembered such a small detail about you.
“Yes! You came to the studio one day with Nay-…” hesitating to say her name as she knows the wound is still fresh but attempting to cover it with a drink from her glass, “Her, and we all ordered from a place similar to this one and I remember you said you didn’t like the texture.” 
Baffled was an understatement. Not only did this borderline stranger call you to check in and ask if you wanted to hang out, but she asked her friend what your coffee order was AND she remembered something that was such a small comment…
“It’s really sweet that you remember that, Mina.” both of you blushing as you continue to make small talk while finishing the meal. 
Table cleared and on your second bottle of sake, Mina finally is brave enough to ask about what happened between you and Nayeon. 
“Hey, Y/n? I know it’s probably a sensitive topic…but what happened between you and Nayeon? Momo told me that you broke up but she didn’t really mention why…” Alcohol gave her the confidence to ask the question you knew was coming all night. 
“Well..” hesitating to respond, not really knowing the answer. You knew what happened, but not why it happened. Mina could see the soft sadness on your face as you contemplated how to answer her.
“Long story short, she cheated on me. The entire time.” Mina eyes widened, mouth ajar, completely in shock and frozen at what you just said. 
“Oh my gosh, y/n”…I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine what you’re feeling,” reaching her hand out to place it on your forearm, rubbing her thumb against the softness of your sweater as she made sympathetic eyes at you. Feeling sorry for what you’d been through, what this meant for you. 
It was as if the goddess fell from the sky as she laid her hands on you. Physical manifestations of feelings developing as your heart pounded, breath quickened, and getting a little shaky. The sun beams through your veins as you feel the beams radiating off your face, a similar look on Mina’s. 
“I didn't tell you the worst part.” Softly while she’s still caressing your arm. “It was the entire time we were together, they tried to cover it too.” Confusion, anger, sympathy mixed together into the melting pot that was Mina’s heart. 
You didn’t expect her to be so emotionally available for you. Reserved was her middle name, why was she so open to physical touch with you? Ordering for you? Wondering if she was also feeling the fire that was kindling between the two of you.
“They?” Concerned tone wrapped around you tightly. It was almost…possessive. Body reacts by constricting your thighs together, you might like the possessive tendency a little too much.  
“Nayeon and…Jihyo, actually” 
Mina's face contorts into anger upon hearing the culprits names, hand still on your arm lightly squeezing now. Eyes wet with disappointment as she tries to hold back tears and comprehend how they could do that…to you of all people.
“I’m so sorry, my love.” Said so smoothly as if it’s always been what she called you. Pain sits behind her eyes, as she continues on “I can’t believe they would do that to you. You deserve so much better.”
Half wincing at her words, realizing they’re sprinkled with care that you weren’t used to, a sense of sorrow washes over you as you come to terms with your past relationship not being as healthy as you thought it was.  
“You do know that…right?” head tilted at the question even if she already knows the answer. 
“I don’t know anymore. This whole thing has been so life altering for me, it’s hard to have all these big feelings of love and anger at the same time.” speaking so candidly about the emotions you were experiencing, opening up to Mina about your internal monologue.
Continuing to drink the bottle of sake as the wind picked up a little, causing it to become slightly chillier. It was early November, so it was on the colder side. Shivering as you sat in the breeze, sun setting with golden hour brushing the scene around you and accentuating the beautiful brush strokes that composed the woman in front of you. 
The bangs sitting a little lower than her eyebrows that were perfectly shaped, long waves more breathtaking than an angry sea extending far down past her shoulders to her waist, glowing skin that made her look like the embodiment of light, you can’t help but fixate your eyes on her and you’re a little too intoxicated to care if she catches you. 
Standing up and stretching to go and pay the bill, Mina snatches it out of your hand and runs inside, beating you to it. Giggling a little harder than you should, when a small black compact car that was too familiar pulled up to the front of the cafe and parked. 
Before you could even realize why the car was familiar, two women stepped out and stopped dead in her their tracks. Im Nayeon and Park Jihyo. 
Jihyo looks like she's been crying, eyes swollen, lip still quivering as she stood next to Nayeon, who still completely covered in the imprint of your teeth and lips, clinging to her arm. Standing in silence, as the air stretches taut. 
“Why haven’t you answered my text messages?” Nayeon abruptly breaks the tension. Jihyo’s eyes widen as Nayeon crosses her arms and taps her foot angrily waiting for an answer. She really was going to do this right here and now. She always lacked patience, this was a perfect example of that.
“I don’t want to.” flowing from your lips with a sour face like you completely forgot what happened the evening before, sake getting to you as you retort with malice. “Maybe you should take the hint and stop trying” 
Scoffing at the comment, Nayeon shakes Jihyo off of her and walks up to you slowly while swaying her hips, like she always did at you when she was trying to get you to do what she wanted. Reaching you and placing her elbows on your shoulders as she twirls the hair cascading down your back. Skin burning under the weight of her touch, making you panic almost immediately. The disgust from before had returned in full force and it displayed on your face while she spoke. 
“Come on, baby. Don’t be like that.” hand now sweeping a piece of hair out of your face, looking up at you with those big doe eyes “I know you miss me, just come home. I’m sorry you are hurting from what I did. I’ve been punished enough.” repulsed by the pet names and the attempts to win you over again. 
Jihyo is uncomfortably shifting, sorrow now covered in jealousy as her lover tries to win back what was viewed as hers. Green was a lovely color on her but to wear it on her face the way she did, with no remorse, was a bold statement. 
“Nayeon, I don’t want to do this with you in front of your girlfriend,” making air quotes as you say the word, “or at all really. So forget I exist and we can both just move on.” Attempting to move out of her grasp as she took in your words, not liking the reaction she was getting, she grabbed your wrist to stop you from leaving.  
“So after 3 years, you’re really just going to leave me?” Slightly panicked, realizing you actually weren’t falling for her tricks anymore. 
“Yes.” Stoically cascading and washing over Nayeon, rinsing away the confidence to reveal crossness and a hint of fear, while shaking her grip loose from your wrist. 
“So none of it meant anything to you?” small drops of irritation on her tongue, thick like honey, while she studies your lack of want or care for her. Strikingly different from the person she used to know very well, never being met with walls built so carefully around you before. 
“I think that’s actually your stance on it” spit back with malice from the guard tower at the top of the castle you built around yourself to keep her out.
“You know what y/n, if you think that you can just come into our house and fu-“ shock runs through her as she sees a figure stepping out of the cafe. The shadows hand reach up to link with yours, giving it a tight squeeze. 
“Are you ready to go, my love?” Mina’s voice was a little louder than normal so both parties could hear after finding you in this tense moment. Her stance is defensive as she knowingly pokes the bear. 
Jihyo and Nayeon are both completely gobsmacked by Mina not only being out of the house, but also by being with you. Hand in hand.
 “My love????” Nayeon scoffed, tears building when she had an idea. “You can’t be serious right now, y/n. After last night, are you on a date with Mina? A member of my group? Do you not have your own friends to filter through? Did I not satiate you enough? …Maybe we should’ve gone one more round.” craftily leaving her mouth as she tries to cause discourse between what she thinks is a date…was it a date?
Jihyo doesn’t even try to step in or say anything, she just gets back into the car looking like her tears are about to fall again from being cast aside by the likes of you. Nayeon doesn’t even flinch at the sound of the car door, waiting for you to panic under the weight of the information just given to Mina. 
Mina snaps back boldly  “don’t worry, I’ll take care of her from now since you can’t satiate her, apparently.” Winking back at Nayeon while leading you down the road, back to your house, hands still together and Mina unphased. A small smirk appears on your face as you try not to laugh, not even needing to look at Nayeon's face to know that she was completely shocked by the comments made by Mina. 
Nayeon tried to follow the two of you as you repressed laughter, shouting to try to get your attention again “Y/n! I can’t believe you right now! After everything we’ve been through? And Mina, you bitch! I can’t believe you wou-” 
“Nayeon, get in the fucking car.” Jihyo grimaced while pulling the car up as she saw people starting to stare at the commotion. Nayeon rolled her eyes and got in. This wasn’t over yet, and everyone knew it.
Mina picks up her pace, giggling and tugging you behind her as she tries to get away from the disturbance plaguing you both. “I’ve never seen her so mad before, is she always that confrontational with you?” quizzically inquired as you both drunkenly sauntered back to the safety of your apartment. 
“To be honest, I have no idea. This is the first time I’m seeing her react in such a way. She used to be so sweet to me before I found out about…” hesitating to finish the sentence, but Mina knew where you were going with it and just nodded her head. 
“It must be really hard to feel like you don’t know her after all this time. I can’t imagine what that feels like. Someone like you shouldn’t have to deal with that at all.” boldly spoken as you reached your apartment.
“What do you mean by that?” Pressing into what she just said. “Someone like me?” 
“The betrayal she put you through is ju-“ starting as she catches your eyes while you squeeze her hand.
“Mina, no, what did you mean by someone like me?” looking up at her with a sheepish smile as you unlock the door and step inside, hands still locked and still feeling the effects of the sake as you both waltz into the living room and find your spots on the couch, this time a little closer than before.
“…I-“ alcohol fighting her logic, letting go of your hand as she whispers a honey laced memory into the quiet room while curling into herself, showing the shy nature again. 
“Do you remember when we first met? You went out of your way to talk to me, even if the other girls were trying to pull your attention. You even asked me about things you knew I liked to get to know me a little better and paid attention when I answered and the kindness you showed to all of us, even if some of us were a little apprehensive or even defensive…and then seeing the way you were with…her. I was astounded at the level of compassion and care that you gave to her, and to know what she did to you makes me view her very differently.” afraid to look you in the eyes as she opened up her chest, showing you a vulnerability that you’d never thought to see from her. 
“I knew how important you all are to her. I wanted to make sure we all bonded because I thought…she was going to be the person I ended up with. Even if she isn’t, I’m glad it happened because she gave me Momo and now you. I feel like you were a sign from God” Grinning back at her, blush spreading through her cheeks as she smiled brightly back at you. 
Both of you still feel the effects of the sake as you throw a random movie on to relax and unwind. Sitting so close together on the large couch that your arms are brushing against each other. She lifted the arm that was touching yours and placed it around your back and on your waist, you leaned into her and comfortably you both laid down, intertwined in each other. 
Your head on her shoulder as she lays in her back, arm wrapped around your waist drawing small patterns with her fingers. One of your hands lightly placed where her ribs connect and legs intertwined as you slowly drifted into the most comfortable nap you’ve had in months. 
Everything was pitch black. Eyes shifting in and out of darkness as you try to calibrate to your surroundings. A small metal table sits in the distance, the only thing that is illuminated and you can make 2 figures sitting around it, it looks like they’re talking but you can’t be sure. 
Walking as quickly as you can through the shadows approaching the table, you try to shout out to them but nothing comes out. Reaching up to your throat, you hold it while you try to scream. Feeling the vibrations through your hands but not a single sound cuts through the air. 
As you get closer to the figures, their details are revealed to you slowly. Shoulder length light brown hair facing the woman with long dark wavy hair. “Nayeon? Mina??” mouth trying to spit the words your lungs can’t bear to speak when Nayeon slowly turns her head to you, and says “oh, Y/n it’s about time you joined us” voice contorting, almost as if it’s overlapped by another. You’re forced to your knees by something you cannot see, and immediately smell sulfur, as Nayeon lifts your chin with one finger. 
She stares into your soul, eyes completely black, as her face starts contorting and twisting, dripping off her skull. Wincing and looking at Mina to see her smiling back at you, illuminated in light.
 A sense of calm washing over you, only for a second when you feel your mouth fill with blood. Still on your knees, you spit out what’s flavoring your mouth and all of your teeth come with it. Screaming in silence as you watch Nayeon get up and stand above you, grabbing your neck with both hands tightening as she holds you over a cliff edge, storm crashing around you and hisses in the distorted voice “you’ll always be mine.” Dropping you straight down into the ocean, you try to regulate yourself and swim up but it’s pitch black, swimming until you choke on water and snap awake startling Mina who was silently sleeping underneath you. 
Hyperventilating heavily as you try to shake off the feeling of the dream, crying as you shake. Mina is immediately by your side, wrapping her arms around you and comforting you. 
“It’s okay, I’m here. You’re safe with me. Don’t worry, I’ve got you” as she rubs your back in a circular motion to try and regulate your breathing. 
Your sweater feels very constricting as a thin layer of sweat covers you, you part from Mina and start pacing as you take the hoodie off leaving you in a sports bra. Following your movements with her eyes, as you walk around aimlessly, tears falling as you try to breathe. 
Mina stands up and catches you by the wrist and pulls you into her, comforting you with a hug. “You’re safe with me. I won’t let anything bad happen to you.” 
Body unclenching as she spoke and held you close to her. A warm surge of calm pumped through your veins as you sniffled, pressing your face into her neck. 
Pulling back to look at her, you can see the concern mixed with something else in her eyes. Something you’d never seen before. Your faces are close enough to feel each other's breath as she looks into your eyes and then down at your lips, your eyes following the same motion. 
Leaning in closer, lips brushing against each other before fully committing, you both shyly decide this is the path your friendship is taking. Her arms slide from your lower back to your hips slowly, pressing her fingers into your hips and pulling you towards her as your mouths find each other. 
Her lips so soft, tasting of the alcohol you consumed and the tension that had been building all day. Her flavor was the taste of the divine, effervescently consuming you as she coded your flesh and bones with her scriptures.
Slow and passionate, at first, slowly picking up pace. Hands exploring each other's bodies as you familiarize yourself with the sounds she makes when you tangle your fingers in her hair. She takes control, which is something you never let happen, but it’s different with her. You actually feel safe with her. 
Mina grabs your waist again and pushes you down on the couch, keeping your lips connected and she swipes her tongue across your bottom lip asking for entrance, given without hesitation. Her hands leave your waist as her mouth travels to your neck, biting down lightly as you whine into the silence of the room. She stands and removes her sweater, revealing a sports bra and her well toned abs, igniting a fire within you. 
Kneeling between your legs, reaching for you to get you closer to her, pulling your body as close as it would get to her. Kissing picking up again, as you feel her wrap her arms around you, toying with the clip of your bra as she threatens to undo it. 
“Is this okay?” asking softly as she scatters soft sweet kisses across your face. You nod your head yes but before she can undo the clip, a loud crashing startles both of you.
“What was that?” Mina spoke up, obviously bothered by the interruption but also concerned as it sounded very close. 
“I’m not sure” you were still focused on her before she got up and turned around, heading towards the front door to see what was going on. 
“Y/n, you’re going to want to see this.” Mina says with a tone of worry. You run over to her to find a rock with a note tied around it shattered through the glass window next to your door.  
“I’m going to call the police, please be careful, the glass is everywhere.” running to the living room to get her phone, and you stand there shirtless looking at the crime scene. Wondering how she found you, if she followed you back from the dinner you had with Mina. 
Stepping carefully around the shattered sharpness scattered across the entrance way, you reach over to the note and slightly open it, gasping at the contents loud enough for Mina to hear from the other room. 
“She’s mine” scrawled on it, in a familiar red ink.

Cruel
Mina x Reader
CW: Angst, suggestion of infidelity
Word count: 2600
Synopsis: The happiness of love lasts for seconds but the pain of love lasts a lifetime.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You took a deep breath as you twisted and turned around in your bed, trying to find the perfect position or at least the most comfortable one. The perfect position was of course when Mina was here with you where one of you would lay on top of the other, cuddling and spooning all night long. Your pillow would have to do for now though.
But it’s not enough, an hour passes by, and you are still restless, trying to sleep. You sigh and sit up, its useless to keep doing this, you pick up your phone and look through your texts, she still hasn’t seen your messages. ‘She must be really busy with the final show I guess.’, you conclude. You scroll through your various social media apps for the next hour or so before you receive a text back from her. You can’t stop smiling all of a sudden, her tour is over and that means she’s going to be back home soon. You don’t even bother seeing her text and just straight up facetime her. She doesn’t pick up. That’s a bit odd. You ring her again and this time she picks up, immediately you can tell that there is a lot going on, you hear lots of cheering and chatting and finally her face appears, and you feel your world light up, she looks really beautiful but also seems tired. “Hi”, Mina finally says with a small smile.
You bombard her with questions, and she does her silly little laugh as she updates you on some things that happened today and then explains she has to go and quickly ends the call. You feel a lot more at ease though despite the abrupt ending, after all her smile is all that you need, as you think about all the things she said, you drift off to sleep.
The next day you can’t stop feeling excited, Mina was going to be back home. You had made her some dessert and planned to order food from the favorite place, knowing she would be home soon. A few hours later she finally comes back, and you immediately jump at her, hugging her tightly unwilling to let go. It had been a month, a little more than a month even and now finally she was here again. She seemed a bit surprised by your sudden display of affection, but she did hug you back and let go after a moment, eager to come back into the house. You let her get changed and soon enough the two of you are on the sofa, cuddled up, ready to watch a movie when both of your stomachs growl and you realize you didn’t order food yet. You look for your phone but can’t find it and remember it was on your bed.
“You want the usual?”, you ask her, peeking through the doorway.
“Y-uh-yes!”, Mina answers hurriedly with a polite smile and puts her phone down. Odd. But anyway, the food arrives sometime later, and you both eat well. You hold her lovingly from behind and start to give her quick kisses but she pulls away looking…disappointed? You couldn’t tell, you hadn’t seen Mina like this before. “What?”, you ask confused by her lack of reciprocation.
“Nothing, I am just tired” she says, getting up, “I think I’ll go to bed”.
You give her a smile, but it did sting a bit to get turned down like that. But you give her a break, she’s been travelling a lot and her tour and everything, it does make sense that she’s a bit on the edge and just wants some rest. You finish the movie and head off to bed too about 30 minutes later only to find Mina wide awake, smiling happily while seemingly texting someone. “Baby, you aren’t asleep yet?”, you ask, offering her a small smile.   
Mina suddenly looks up in a bit of panic like a deer staring at headlights, you hear the click of her phone as she shuts it down and just gives you an innocent look, but she might as well have stabbed you right there because you knew that look. That’s the look she has when she’s caught doing something doesn’t want you to know about. What was she trying to hide? Like, yes, granted, the last time it was your birthday present but that time all you felt was playful curiosity. This time you didn’t feel any time of playfulness or even curiosity, just dread. Your birthday was a couple months away so it’s not your present and your anniversary happened already so it’s not that either.
But you say nothing, you were being probably paranoid anyway. You get in bed and Mina shifts a bit towards you and you put your arm around her, your paranoia disappearing as you feel her skin and warmth and fall asleep with her.
The next couple of days went by smoothly, no more incidents and you were really beginning to think that you were just being extremely paranoid but for some reason your gut kept telling you otherwise. Today, you didn’t have work and were going to be extremely bored because Mina had to go for a meeting. You decide to play some video games to pass the time and in between rounds you notice Mina had put up a story but before you could see it the round started, and you focused on that instead. After the match you went to look for it, but it was gone…? Maybe something she posted by accident.
Anyway, the hours fly by and soon you hear the doorbell ring and it’s Mina, you open the door for her but before you can even smile, she just rushes past you, avoiding you. You are really taken aback by that, was she ok? You go behind her only to see she’s already in the shower. You feel panic building in your chest, something was wrong, you could feel it but what. You couldn’t tell what exactly was wrong, but you intended to find out, you think about how she just wouldn’t use her phone around you since she came back and decide that maybe the answer is on her phone and look for it. It was of no use, Mina had taken it with her in the bathroom.
But now you were certain that she was hiding something, she had to be, her sudden bursts of coldness, her lack of affection, her secretiveness and what she did just now. It was almost like she didn’t want you here, like she didn’t love you as much anymore.
You waited for her to shower, sitting in the living room, thinking what you should say to her when you hear the door open, she was finally out. But now that the moment of truth was awaiting, you couldn’t move, it felt like your feet were sinking into the floor, the air was heavy, and everything was just telling you to stop. You couldn’t move and then Mina came down to you, hugging you tightly, “Y/N im sorry. I feel like ive been a bit cold with you recently. I don’t know if you noticed that, I’ve just been tired and now my social battery was really low. I’ll try to do better now.”. Her words sounded reassuring, but you felt no sign of reassurance, instead you felt even more dread. Her words felt so hollow. You pulled away from her and she gave you a small smile. But why did that smile have no sign of happiness in it.
“Mina be honest with me.”, you say seriously. Why did she become so stiff upon hearing that. “Are you hiding something from me?”.
She doesn’t say anything, she doesn’t meet your eyes and she takes a heavy breath like she’s trying to calm herself down, “Well no, I told you I was just stressed these-”, there’s a buzz on her phone and you both turn to look at it, its just a notification from some app but she quickly turns her phone away. Not because of the notification itself but because of what was behind it, her wallpaper, a picture of her with someone very familiar, someone who Mina previously admitted to having a crush on. Someone who she said wouldn’t ever be a problem between you both. She purses her lips nervously while you look at her in disbelief. Is that why she immediately kept her phone shut upon seeing you? Deep down you knew that wasn’t the entire truth, but you couldn’t bring yourself to accept it. It just couldn’t be true, right? You didn’t do anything wrong. You loved more than you loved anyone ever, you cared for her, you did everything for her. So why…why did it feel like it wasn’t enough. Why did it feel like it was all for nothing. You feel tears building up and you look at her in pain and Mina finally decides to speak.
“Y/N listen, don’t cry, don’t be upset please. Just listen to me. It’s not what you…think.”, she didn’t sound very convincing, “Its nothing, you don’t have to worry about it. I still love you and care for you and don’t ever think otherwise. I hope it’s the same for you towards me too”.
“Why would it be different for either of us”, you ask shakily.
“It’s just…during one of our after parties, I-she may have kissed me”, Mina admitted, and you felt your heart break.
“Did she kiss you or did you kiss her?”, you ask, your fists clenched.
Mina kept quiet. “I don’t remember…”, she replies, looking away.
You couldn’t believe it, you try to stand up, but she stops you, “Y/N please, don’t be mad, it was a mistake, we were drunk, it didn’t mean anything”, She pleaded.
“Why should I believe you anymore”, you ask her, your voice breaking, and you begin to cry.
She tries to hug you, but you push her away, she wasn’t even trying to defend herself anymore. She just kept repeating that it meant nothing and was just a drunk thing to do but you didn’t believe her. And it looked like you were right for that because when Mina saw that she wasn’t convincing you her defensiveness stopped and she began to lash out. “FINE. Believe what you want. You don’t know what happened. And if it bothers you so much, maybe”, she hesitates, “Maybe we should take a break then. So you can clear your head”.
You nearly began to sob again upon hearing that, how could she say that. How could she keep on refusing to accept that she was wrong and keep making excuses. Did she not love you anymore? Did-did she love her more? Did it even matter anymore?
As you tormented yourself with these thoughts, Mina stormed off to the bedroom. You just wanted the world to stop, why was this happening. What did you do to get so much pain inflicted upon you. You heard the door to the entrance open, and then slam shut.
Did Mina really just leave? You get up weakly, another feeling of dread and even regret passing over your entire body as you search for her in the house and indeed, she had gone. She was serious about the break.
The two of you didn’t talk for the remainder of the day. It was only the next day that you received a text from her. It didn’t say much, only that you should take the week to think about it and if you saw sense as she put it, she would move back in or else it would be better for something to happen. She couldn’t even say it to you. But it didn’t matter to you anymore. Nothing did really. You feel like you just lost everything. She kissed her, she hid it from you, she wanted a break, she stormed off and she seemed to have stopped caring at all and even then, she couldn’t bring herself to say that she wanted to break up. Why. Why did she want to put that burden on you. To make it look like it would be your doing. What went wrong. What happened to the sweet girl you fell in love with. This wasn’t her, this couldn’t be her. The Mina you knew, the Mina you fell in love, where was she...
You didn’t get out of bed for hours, all you could do think. Finally, you decided to play some games to distract yourself. It had only been a few minutes, but you received a notification. You ignored it. Then you received a text and as you tried to keep playing your game to keep yourself distracted, you got yet another one. You didn’t even need to see it to know what it was, this was almost like a 6th sense for you. And upon checking it, it was what you expected…Mina posted another story with that girl again. The one who you didn’t have to worry about. The one who was just a friend. The one who had her heart. And of course, you felt shade thrown towards you. And that hurt so much. How? How come it’s so easy for her to move on. To find happiness. To forget…
You decide to check your texts too and to your surprise it was from her, “Can you make your mind already? Mina wants to move on but only if you agree. It’s kind of annoying really. Just forget about her at this point and back off. She’s mine”. You felt anger rise and your heart break once more, this just made it sound like a lot of what Mina said was a lie or just a half truth. Yet, you still couldn’t bring yourself to tell Mina that it’s over.
The cruelty of love is so unforgiving and cold yet if she told you she loved you right now, you would take her back right away, knowing full well that it’s just a matter of time before she smashes the shattered pieces of your broken heart once again….
You decide that you need to talk to her, maybe give her one last chance, maybe she’ll see some sense, realize her mistake, and apologize. Afterall weren’t you her darling, weren’t you her other half? Shaking, you call her and surprisingly enough, she picks up almost instantly. “Hello…”, you greet her weakly.
“Y/N”, she says calmly, “I think…it’s best if we stop the break”.
“R-really?”, you say in shock, was Mina coming back?
“Yes. I think its best if we just break up instead. I feel like you’ve changed a lot recently and I don’t like it. Don’t stress about it too much. It’s not entirely your fault but yeah. I think it’s done. I’ll come to collect my stuff soon”, she announces without any regret. She waits for a few seconds for you to say something, but you were too stunned to speak. So, she just cut the call and left you there all alone once more.  
You feel tears flow down your face and you fall back against the wall, crying. Why is doing your best not good enough? Why is your love not strong enough? Why is your heart not hers? You would do anything, anything to stop the two of you from falling apart. Even if it meant taking on the entire burden yourself. Even when she hurt you. You still loved her. All you wanted was for her to love you back the same way you loved her and she didn’t. She wouldn't even do that...

a/n: based on those silly little drawings on tiktok that also have my heart screaming and crying bc they're so cute but sad for no reason like stop pls you're just a silly little stick man why am i sobbing
Tumblr media
“do you think we know each other in every universe?” you ask in a small voice, almost a whisper.
mina turns her head to face you, you’re still looking up at the ceiling, breathing slowly. “what kind of question is that?” mina responds, laughing lowly from the sudden inquiry.
“i don’t know, I saw it online,” you start, turning to meet her gaze—squishing your cheek against the mattress in the process. “something about people meeting in other lives and universes, it was pretty interesting.” you add sleepily.
mina’s arm moves to settle down on your shoulder while you lay on the bed facing each other. you look at her with a tired, warm gaze through weighted eyelids. mina softly drags her knuckles over your skin, it makes you sigh contentedly.
“so what do you think?” you press again.
mina just smiles at you and uses her fingers to push loose, messy hair away from your face. you hum groggily in response and lean into her touch.
“i’d hope so.” mina murmurs, looking at your drowsy state.
she takes a moment to fully take in your presence, then presses a kiss against your forehead.
“me too.” you agree, resting your hand over her knuckles.
Tumblr media
in this universe mina has just moved into the city, relishing the beautiful, new environment as she strolls around the area.
there’s a couple to her right across the street. they hold hands and swing them gently while they laugh and gaze at each other lovingly—mina smiles at the sight.
mina spots a small restaurant from her peripheral vision, something about the plants growing around it catches her eye, as well as the simple design and lights in the front. she walks towards it, fixing her loose, gray shirt.
she watches a woman step out the restaurant, and that woman is remarkably appealing. the woman kneels down to pet the calico cat that sits in front of the calatheas plant, the woman’s thumb rubs the top of its head, earning a pleased purr.
the woman fetches a small can of water, quickly tending to the plants by watering them, and inspecting them a bit after.
mina makes her way over and catches the attention of the waitress in the apron—the same woman who had tended to the plants. She turns and smiles immediately at mina, setting the can down and greeting her.
“hi, can i help you?” she asks. the woman’s voice is enchanting, it’s soft and welcoming.
mina nods then eyes the rest of the restaurant, it’s quite cozy.
“yes, do you serve lunch?” mina asks.
“yes ma’am, come on in, i can find a seat for you. it’s not too busy at the moment.” the woman says, urging mina to follow her, “there’s only our regulars here at the moment, many empty seats for a lovely lady like you.” mina’s lips curve upward from the unexpected compliment.
the woman leads her to a little table near the window, a small pot occupies it and it holds a healthy-looking fern in it. the waitress hands the menu over to her with both hands—which mina accepts gracefully.
“i’m y/n,” you start, “i’ll be your waitress. i’ll be back in a couple of minutes, take your time.”
what a wonderful name.
when you return, mina has picked out what she would like to order. you approach the table with your signature grin—one mina finds very captivating, sweet, and cute. she has trouble keeping her eyes off your lips for a moment.
“ready to order miss?”
“yes. may i have a bowl of the glass noodles?” mina asks. you nod and started to write on the small notepad in your hand.
“yes ma’am, anything else?”
“green tea would be great.”
“alright. by the way, the glass noodles come with a side dish, any protein on the menu-“ you point to the protein options on the menu with your pen, “there.”
mina reads through the options: salmon, tuna, mushrooms, tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp, and pork.
“what would you recommend?” mina questions, making you think to yourself for a bit.
“my favorites are the tofu, it’s seasoned very well. you can never go wrong with tuna or salmon either, but those are just my preferences. all the protein choices are wonderful.”
“i’ll take the tofu then.”
“alright. so, japchae with a side of tofu and some green tea for the pretty lady in the corner.” you say as you charmingly smile at mina, “will that be all?”
mina giggles at your boldness, nodding. “do you always flirt with customers?”
“only the pretty ones that catch my eye—you’re the first to do so.” you admit.
“i’m flattered, y/n.” mina responds. you smile brightly from how she uses your name, and because she’s tolerant of your stupid flirting.
You giggle. “your order will be ready in a bit. i’ll make sure to pull at the chefs strings to have it out as quick as possible.” you say, “anything to satisfy the lovely lady.”
mina laughs at your comment then rests her chin on her palm. “thanks waiter.”
Tumblr media
you arrive ten minutes later and snap mina out of her daydreaming, she’s been staring at the window and watching the people of the city pass by. she could get quite comfortable knowing that a lovely waiter is within a one-mile radius.
“your japchae and tofu, as well as your tea.” you beam, setting down her hot tea and meal.
mina smiles and the aroma of the food pleases her senses, so does the waiter’s delightful presence. the food smells wonderful, it looks delicious too. you nod at her before scurrying to help out the group of elderly men at the other side of the restaurant, they pat your shoulder and make you giggle. seems like your presence is something that everyone is fond of.
as you swiftly run a hand through your tousled hair, the lines of your face come into sharper focus, accentuating your features. the black apron around your waist becomes slightly taut as you tighten it, giving mina a glimpse of your punctilious nature. you reach for a soft rag and press it firmly against the worn wooden surface. the tendons in your forearm flex with each wipe, they’re quite toned.
mina's gaze lingers on your arm, drawn to the dainty tattoo adorning your wrist. it’s a subtle flower-like design, its colors blending seamlessly with your skin—mina thinks it’s cute.
but it's not just your appearance that intrigues her. there's something intangible about you, an inexplicable familiarity that fogs up her mind. in the short span of thirty minutes, you’ve managed to create a tranquil atmosphere around her with the help of your dorky charm.
it's as if you have a unique ability to make her feel instantly at home, even though she can't recall ever meeting you before. the way you carry yourself so casually, the kindness and warmth that radiate from you, all contribute to this puzzling connection she feels.
Tumblr media
you hand mina the check after she finishes up, the price is not bad at all. you grab her bowl, small plate, and tea cup, balancing them effortlessly on one hand.
“can i pay with cash?”
“of course, let me put these dishes in the back. you can pay up at the register since it’s cash.” you respond, departing temporarily.
mina shuffles through her purse and pulls out a few bills, making sure to tip you generously for your wonderful service and lovely charm. she walks over to the register, you’re behind the counter with a strand of hair falling over your face and tapping at the screen.
“your total is fifteen hundred yen.” you say. mina hands you twenty-five hundred, making you raise your brows in surprise.
“i liked your service.” mina shrugs, bashfully avoiding eye contact. she puts her wallet back into her purse, and explains, “i just moved into the city, i’m really glad i ran into someone as sweet as you on my first day.”
you grin and feel a warmth spread across your cheeks, “is that so? i’m glad. i hope you like it here, i’d love for you to visit again. i wouldn’t complain if a beauty like you were a regular.”
mina’s lips turn, it’s hard for her to make eye contact with you. a small laugh leaves your lips as you take the money she had slid across the counter, carefully handling it then placing fifteen hundred yen in the register, and putting a thousand in the tip jar.
you beam at her again, “thank you, have a great day miss.”
“it’s mina.” she corrects politely, “my name is mina.”
“pretty name. fits you.” you respond, ears growing pink. mina laughs and waves at you with a gummy smile—it’s adorable and you want to see it again and again. butterflies flutter in your stomach from the sight of it. the elegant woman with the cute beauty marks walks towards the door, and as you sense this fleeting moment, your eyes search frantically for something that’ll have mina trudging back in the future.
spotting a pen and napkin nearby, you swiftly reach out, snatching them up in your trembling hand and scribbling a string of numbers on it.
mina steps outside and takes in the scenery of the restaurant, it fits the lovely, calm neighborhood that it occupies.
“wait! mina!” a voice calls out. she turns and spots you, rushing out the door and settling yourself in front of her.
you hand her the napkin you scribbled on. “this is my number, i’d love to get to know you more.” you say timidly as mina takes the dainty piece of paper.
“you’re cute.” mina boldly states, laughing softly, “this place isn’t far from my apartment, and the food is good. there might be a new regular here soon.”
“perfect.” you hum.
“thank you for the food, i’ll see you again.”
“see you, mina.”
a tender silence envelops both of you as you exchange a knowing glance, the unspoken connection blooming with a newfound sweetness. something about mina seems oddly familiar, weirdly comforting—you’re not one to flirt so easily, but the words had just spewed out your mouth every time you talked to her.
you wonder: maybe you know her in another universe, you remember hearing about that theory from one of the elderly customers. maybe you’re good friends someplace else—maybe more.
Tumblr media
in another universe, a complex web of fate had merged your brother, jun, with mina—a princess from a kingdom that held tensions with your own. their marriage seemed to hold the promise of easing the strained relations between the two kingdoms.
jun, the epitome of the stereotypical prince, perfectly fit into the mold. women swooned over him and he possessed the necessary “princely” skills, he seemed to have it all. however, beneath his "charming” exterior lay a massive ego, pissy attitude, and a small, smooth, and pathetic brain. he carried himself as superior to you, despite his cowardice and controversial morals.
as for yourself, in this royal universe, you were less recognized compared to your stingy brother, but still held a significant position. while you may have lacked certain attributes expected from a princess, it honestly mattered very little since you weren’t in line to inherit the throne (you didn’t like the thought of all that work anyway, so you were relieved.)
a generous freedom was granted to you, which allowed you to develop an intellect that your brother desperately needed, and a great personality compared to the prick of a prince. admittedly, you possessed a prominent physical beauty, attracting numerous suitors, but they often drew back after realizing you weren’t just a stupid, submissive woman who they could boss and fuck around with.
Tumblr media
you had first seen mina at the altar while she was getting married to your brother—a fate so cruel it makes you want to object, especially only hearing that she’s a soft-spoken, kind soul—according to your father.
something about her seemed oddly familiar, even as you watched from afar. she turned towards you only once, and you made eye contact in that brief moment. your brows creased when your heart recognized her, yearning for an odd reason. she turned back to face jun and you ignored the sensation in your chest, figuring that the feeling in your heart might’ve been the sorrow you had for this newlywed: princess mina.
Tumblr media
you never have dinner at the same time as your brother, so you’ve never had dinner with the new addition to your kingdom. though this changes when jun is sent away for the night (for whatever “princely” reason, you don’t know, and neither do you care.)
you’re seated across from your brother’s wife, and this is the first time you’ve seen her up close and in person. she’s beautiful.
you find yourself captivated by mina's ethereal beauty, unable to tear your eyes away from her radiant presence. every curve and line of her face is a testament to perfection, leaving you marveling in awe.
mina’s features are more than attractive, they’re perfect—no painter could ever capture the full glow of her visuals. her lips look so soft, the way her silky, dark hair effortlessly flows down her shoulders makes you yearn to run your fingers through them, losing yourself in their silky texture. as she gracefully picks up a piece of salmon, the way she chews it delicately, you can't help but be captivated by her composure and grace—damn, you think, she even eats elegantly.
when mina’s eyes meet yours, you shyly look away at the strangely flustering eye contact, feeling nervous for whatever reason.
most women would feel a bit insecure, self-conscious, and maybe even intimidated in your situation. however, all you feel is an unspeakable attraction from your brother’s wife, which has got to be messy.
It gets messier when mina looks at you while you avoid eye contact, and you quickly pretend to be busy by gracefully picking up a piece of salmon and chewing it like a princess should (because mina is right in front of you).
mina observes you, her eyes filled with a deep curiosity while she tries to sneak subtle glances. it's evident that she recognizes the resemblance between you and your brother, but you’re definitely the better-looking sibling. her gaze lingers on the white ribbon holding half your hair up, rendering you even more fascinating in her eyes. stray strands of hair gently frame your face, and as you tuck them behind your ear, her eyes follow the movement with a mixture of awe and allure.
though you and mina have never engaged in conversation, the inscrutable (homosexual) tension between you two is undeniable, as if you were destined to meet.
“is there something on my face?” mina asks, voice soft and wow, even her voice is beautiful. she tilts her head when she catches you stealing a glance.
“oh, no, sorry.” you respond politely, “i just, um, noticed your beauty marks. they’re pretty.”
(you don’t know why you chose to compliment her now and here when you’re alone in this dining room and the tension is prominent—are you trying to embarrass yourself?)
“thank you, y/n was it?” the sound of your name being articulated by that delicate voice of hers is enough to have your cheeks burning.
“yeah, y/n.”
“you’re quite pretty too.”
you smile and poke at your salmon, “thank you.”
Tumblr media
two weeks from that dinner, you find yourself meeting with her and spending more time with the lovely princess since her own joke of a husband can’t do so. mina was never fond of jun anyway, he boasted too much, and you were much more pleasing to the eye—and her heart.
you lead mina around the castle, holding her hand and dragging her to the large library in the east wing. you ramble about the books you’ve read, cheeks flushing lightly when you go on a tangent about romance novels. when you stop gushing about books out of fear of boring her, she urges you to go on, giving you that signature grin that makes your heart leap.
a few weeks after that moment in the library, mina finds herself situated in your own bedroom. it’s a large room, fit for a princess like you. the room smells like peaches and is tidy for the most part, though books clutter some spaces and it honestly feeds mina’s growing interest in you.
the ribbon in your hair is worked at with your slim fingers and your locks are let down with a swift motion of the fabric. you run a hand through your hair and lead mina to your bed, grabbing her hand and urging her to sit down next to you.
mina sits down and you hum, softly while you lean against the headboard of the bed.
“are you tired?” mina asks, and you shake your head.
“not really.”
“it’s quite late.”
“perhaps.” you say, turning over to face her. “you know, speaking of sleep. i’ve been having dreams about you.”
mina raises her brows and giggles, “really now?”
you hum, “yeah, it’s a flash of different scenes, different lives.”
“sounds interesting.”
“mhm.” you sigh, looking from the mole on mina’s nose to her lips. “we always end up meeting. do you think we know each other in every life? like, maybe there’s other universes where we’re… maybe we’re best friends in another kingdom, or maybe we’re commoners.”
“that’s a possibility. you read a lot of books, maybe they’re creating that fantasy world up in that brain of yours.” mina teases, subconsciously scooting closer to you.
your gaze stills on her face, you stay silent for a moment and mina grows flustered as you travel across her features with your look. your hand moves over to brush a strand of hair away from her face, and your thumb rubs against her soft, delicate skin—just below her left eye.
“an eyelash was there.” you say, and her cheek grows noticeably warm from the contact of your thumb on her skin.
“i had this one dream, you know…” you start, moving your thumb along her cheek and tracing the side of her face with your pointer. you lean a bit closer, and mina does too, she stares at your plump, soft, peachy lips. “we were really close, like this.” you practically whisper, voice lowering as you mumble.
“yeah?” mina asks, leaning closer. now both of you are staring at each other’s lips, bodies reeling in closer as if there were a string of desire pulling your hearts closer to each other.
mina tilts her head and her eyelids start to shut, you mirror her action and do the same. her cold fingers find your cheek and softly caress your skin, pulling you in closer for a kiss.
her lips are as soft as they look, warm against your own despite the chill of her fingers on your face—though they seem to burn into you the deeper the kiss grows. the locking of lips is dangerous, especially with mina seeing as she’s married to your brother and all. the two of you know everything will have to be behind closed doors, love can be difficult.
mina pulls away with lidded eyes and you whine in response.
“did we do that in your dream?”
“yeah, a few times.”
“déjà vu i guess,” mina murmurs against your lips, “i’ve had the same dreams,” she admits before sliding her hand down to your neck, gently gripping your hair and twirling it around her finger. she kisses you again, your lips recognize the feeling.
Tumblr media
in this universe you’re on the way back to the ice rink. you’ve forgotten your bag filled with your shoulder pads and gloves.
you check the locker room and there’s nothing, but you do spot momo’s unlocked locker. knowing the clumsy, forgetful teammate, she had probably rushed out after getting a call from that sana girl she’s been talking to. the swooning lesbian had most likely left the building in a second, you’re using that against her for sure.
“where is it…” you grumble, wandering around the locker room and shuffling through every corner.
a sigh leaves your lips and you head out to the rink, it has to be there if it’s not in the locker rooms; otherwise, you’re completely fucked and your wallet might come to life just to kill you if you don’t find that dumb bag.
you step into the rink area, your face getting hit with the cold air of the room. the issue at hand is completely disregarded when your gaze lands on a figure gracefully gliding across the ice, her presence seemingly ethereal. her movements are an intricate dance on the frozen surface beneath, each glide harmoniously transitioning into the next. you’re captivated to say the least.
her body glides effortlessly, proof of her unquestionable talent. with every spiraling twirl and soaring leap, she effortlessly keeps your attention on her, you’re enamored. her skate blades etch intricate patterns into the ice, similar to the way yours hack at the ice when you speed through players to score a point during your scrimmages.
the woman stops and her eyes meet yours, making you redirect your attention elsewhere, reminding you of the reason why you’re even back here past practice hours.
she skates towards the gate that leads out the rink and you quickly walk away, scanning the seats for your blue bag. it has to be here somewhere; you prayit’s there.
your prayers were answered—a blue bag is spotted on one of the benches with the same shoulder pads you had used earlier, you let out a sigh of relief.
when you make your way back towards the door back to the lobby, you’re face-to-face with the same woman who had been skating—she had been the only other person here besides you at this hour, further emphasizing her devotion to her art.
she examines you carefully. your hair is still disheveled and your nose is also pink from the practice you had earlier. you’re wearing a comfy-looking navy hoodie, as well as matching, baggy sweatpants—though maybe a slightly darker shade. the blue bag is held over your shoulder, sitting along your back while you carry it.
mina swears she recognizes you, the messy hair that falls over your face and that dorky, awkward smile you shoot her is strangely familiar. maybe she’s met you at this rink before, that’s probably the case.
“sorry, did i interrupt you?” you pry, scared to have disrupted her elegant performance.
“no, not at all.” she responds. you look her up and down, eyeing the full black outfit she wears briefly before meeting her soft eyes and appealing features. you pause for a brief moment when you see the two recognizable beauty marks: one above her top lip and the other on her nose.
“have we met before?” you ask, curious as to why there’s a weird understanding from her.
“i don’t know, maybe we have.”
“you seem very familiar, i can’t put my finger on it.” you mumble, brows furrowing lightly.
“i- i thought that too.”
you put out a hand, “i’m y/n.”
mina reciprocates the gesture and puts her hand in yours—a strangely perfect fit, as if her hand has been there before.
“mina.” she says, staring at your hands making contact.
“do you always practice at this rink?” you question, interested as to how you’ve missed someone as eye-catching as her.
mina nods. “i usually practice later or in the early mornings.”
“that’s why i haven’t seen you around.” you hum, “i practice during late afternoons.”
“are you a hockey player?”
“yup.” you respond proudly, shooting a grin that makes the figure skaters own lips turn. you shove your hand in your pocket and find your phone, checking the time. “i’ll leave you to your practice, you skate beautifully by the way.”
mina smiles and you contemplate whether you should pry and find out more of her schedule just from seeing the curve of her pretty lips. “i’ll see you y/n, hope we run into each other again.”
“likewise. have a great night mina.”
“you too.”
Tumblr media
you’re a lucky woman, very, very lucky.
you run into the beautiful figure skater two days later, and then two days after that, and somehow you’re running to her after every other practice.
quick conversation and small talk is exchanged between the short periods of time that you see each other, a friendship blossoms quickly.
mina, with her quiet demeanor, has always been reserved, even around her own coach and most people she interacts with. however, something about your presence makes her feel instantly at ease—as if you’ve known each other for years. your charm effortlessly melts her tension away, creating a comfortable atmosphere where she’s no longer limited to her usual three-word responses.
beyond her enchanting beauty on the ice, mina's personality shines in its own unique way. her lovely features are undeniably captivating, but it's the tenderness in her remarks and descriptions of her day that truly warms your heart. each word she utters, spoken in her soft and honeyed voice, forms an urge to know more about mina.
Tumblr media
not even a month later, the two of you find yourselves in a small diner sitting across from each other.
your cheek is in your palm while you listen to mina go on about her recent fixations and interests—one being the legos that she had finally bought after eyeing for two months. you find yourself laughing at the way she talks about the plastic building pieces with such passion and excitement, your smile growing wider with each remark from the divine woman in front of you.
mina goes on about her dream of being a professional figure skater, that it’s been her dream since she was a litte girl. she even admits that she’d love to travel to other countries to train and learn more, she’s fond of foreign training programs. the success she craves inspires you, and soon after you exchange your own dreams of being in one of the big league hockey teams. you give mina a little background on yourself, explaining that you lived in canada for half your life, which also happens to be the same place where you started becoming infatuated with hockey. mina nods in awe, listening with intent.
the two of you ramble and laugh and smile and blush—it makes the two of you so amazingly giddy.
the date is cliché, something out of a movie: dinner with a beautiful woman, paying for her meal, and then driving her home—before she leaves, you kiss her cheek—she blushes and kisses you on the lips, leaving you in the car with a flushed face and a dangerously quick heart rate.
Tumblr media
most of your relationships in the past—if not all, have been quite rocky after a couple of months, but that’s not the case with mina.
there’s a simple understanding between you two, as if you already know each other’s likes and dislikes by heart. you’re accustomed to mina’s mood swings and troubles, always being there if she needed a shoulder to lean on. there was a silent understanding, and mina was glad that she had you. mina is understanding when you explain your past and the difficulties of pursuing a hockey career, and once you’re done shedding a few tears you exchange your first “i love you’s.”
it's safe to say that being with mina has been the best time of your life, not even a year has passed by and she’s had you swooning more than momo had been when she first got with sana. you’re hooked, you’re in love.
there’s nothing that could break you and mina up, not with the wonderful communication and understanding of boundaries. you two were perfect for each other, there was no way anything could hinder the relationship.
Tumblr media
“can we talk?” you and mina say together, surprised that you said it at the same time with the same uneasy tone.
“you go first.” you urge, mina shakes her head.
“no, you go.” she responds. you laugh to calm your nerves, to ease your worries, to stop the tears that start to well in your eyes, it works temporarily—but mina can sense the tension in the air, and it’s frightening.
you inhale, then exhale slowly.
“i was scouted, they want me in one of the best training facilities and teams in canada.” you croak out, a lump forming in your throat after you speak. mina purses her lip and you can tell she tries to stop herself from crying, closing her eyes and turning her head downwards.
“y/n,” she says, voice shaky, “they… they want me training in korea.”
you blink and tears spill, rolling down your face.
“i think you should take it, mina.” you say heartbreakingly, “you’re very talented, i know it would get you far. it’s your dream, i know how much you liked the training over in korea.”
“i think you should take,“ mina cuts herself off with a sniffle, “you should go to canada.”
the two of you aren’t lying, wanting the others to achieve their own dream, but the inevitable product is the two of you parting. that’s the last thing you want.
if you had known that you would’ve met mina earlier, she would’ve been your dream, you’d give up everything for her and mina would do the same for you. however, these offers are something that the two of you have been longing for, and even if your hearts may shatter by taking up these opportunities, the two of you know it has to be your choices.
you pull mina into your arms, a bittersweet embrace. her tears stain your t-shirt, yours seem to stain hers as well.
“i’m sorry.” mina cries.
“don’t,” you sob, “it’s okay, we’ll be okay.” you add, though you’re unsure yourself.
the distance is impossible, and it’s already difficult to spend more than three hours a day with each other now, so thinking of how it would be while you’re thousands of kilometers apart has you holding onto mina tighter, knowing that you’ll have to let her go.
Tumblr media
your flight leaves in less than two hours, and you still have to go through baggage as well as security.
a tear slips down your cheek as you hold onto mina, you don’t want to let go, you can’t, but you have to.
you two had a long talk filled with tears and runny noses about how this would go down, and you decided to spend the last few days together, savoring and cherishing the last moments of each other’s presence. sure, the two of you could see each other now and then, but it would be too hard to keep a long-distance relationship going when your schedules are full and your bodies are tired. the time difference doesn’t help either. it just won’t work out, no matter what obstacle you tried to work around, it was evident that this wasn’t going to cut it with the new circumstances.
so you two decided to do what was necessary: break up.
mina pulls away with tears spilling down her face, she’s wearing the sweater you gifted her on her birthday. it makes you sniffle.
“i’m going to miss you.” you say in between tears, “too much.”
“me too.” she says. her nose is red, eyes pink, and her bottom lip quivers.
“i’m sorry, i’m so sorry, i wish we could-“
“y/n, i love you. i want you to achieve this dream.” mina cuts you off, “i’m willing to let you go for it to happen.”
“i’ll love you forever.” you cry, “whatever happens, there’s always a space in my heart for you. when you make it to the big screen, i’ll cheer for you. promise”
mina closes her eyes and wipes her tears, “and I’ll do the same. god, y/n… i love you so much.”
“don’t say that, please my nose is getting stuffy,” you say, trying to lighten the mood. your voice cracks, it’s shaky. “i promise in another universe or something like that, everything will work out, and we won’t have distance keeping us apart. in every life i swear mina, i swear i’ll find you, we’ll meet and we don’t have to part like this and- fuck, god i can’t do this.”
mina laughs, it’s not out of amusement. she’s going to miss your dorky little rambling. “you’ve been watching too many marvel movies.”
“stop that,” you sigh, smiling in between tears. “but I swear, I will.”
“is that a promise?”
“yes mina, yes.”
mina smiles again before tip-toeing to kiss you, you get the faint taste of her salty tears. the kiss is quite long, both of you not wanting to pull away, not wanting to part.
your hand lingers on mina’s cheek, it’s soft on her skin, she melts into your touch one last time.
“i love you always.” mina says, using her own thumb to wipe away your damp, pink cheek.
“me too.” you rasp, “always and forever.”

Tumblr media
“Just leave me around already!” you shouted out, stomping over to your shared room with Mina slamming the door. 
Mina stood there, dumbstruck. Never had you ever used a tone like that with her, but these past few weeks you seemed to only be picking fights. Mina obviously was intensely worried, she couldn't help but wonder what she had done to get you so upset. 
Your relationship with Mina was nearing perfect, well that was until your mind decided to start fucking with you. You knew it was wrong, Mina hadn't done anything to warrant such a reaction from you. You had just come home from work, and Mina, who had also just arrived at home, asked about your day. She could only assume that your boss had been extremely bitchy with you with how you reacted to the question.
When the door to your room slammed and you twisted the lock, you slid down to the floor, cradling your head in your hands. “fuck, fuck, FUCK!” you mumbled out, talking to yourself. You deeply regretted what you had said to her, you knew she was tired, she had also just come back from a full day of work. You hated that you potentially hurt her. But that's what she’d eventually do to you right? Someone like her could never truly like someone like you. How could such a perfect person love someone so imperfect? 
You loved her, you did, with all that you were. But the lingering thought that she could leave you the moment she found another woman attractive never left. She could have anyone in the world, why would she want to stay with you? You were only lessening the blow for when it finally came, detaching yourself from her so when she left it wouldn't hurt. If this was really meant to lessen your hurt, then why was it that every time you saw her face fall at your mean words that your heart shattered a bit more in your chest. Treating Mina like this hurt you more than you thought imaginable.
These insecurities had never been present before, you were never one to be insecure nor jealous. Seeing Mina with Sana though, it reminded you of everything you were not. The way Sana’s hand slid up Mina’s arm, the way Mina would laugh it off, not removing the hand on her. You could feel it coursing through your veins, envy. You would never be able to compare to Sana, not her long straight beautiful hair, nor her cute smile. Hell, you thought that you’d choose her too had you been mina. Sana was everything you were not, everything you were not and more. She was everything you were and weren't. 
Seeing mina return the flirtations had you overcome with sadness, why would she indulge in that with a girlfriend. You didn't know Sana, not at all. Maybe if you did, you would’ve known that Sana was like a sister to Mina, that she had grown up with Sana. That Sana was nothing more than a best friend that liked intimacy. But of course, you didn't know, you didn't know and so you did the only thing you knew to do. You withdrew, you started to distance yourself from Mina, often being rude and dismissive. 
You could tell it hurt her, but she never said anything back. Not wanting to let her anger get the best of her and accidentally say something that might hurt you. How considerate she was, even while getting told to shut up. She loved you, and hurt was the last thing she’d want to see on your pretty face. She knew where the line was drawn and no matter how much you crossed it, she refused to. 
letting out a sigh, Mina let herself fall back onto the couch behind her. she would talk to you later when you weren't as mad. she thought back to these last few weeks. how drastically your behavior had changed. Where you used to constantly be all over her, always touching her in some way. she now found that you’d barely ever lay a finger on her, often flinching when she initiated physical contact. this hurt her greatly, she just couldn’t seem to understand what brought on this change. 
The longer she waited, the more overcome with exhaustion she became. Her schedule today had been packed, with interviews and more things of the sort. She hadn’t even eaten dinner, nor changed, having come home just a minute before you. sooner than later, she succumbed to the exhaustion, falling asleep on the couch. 
You awoke the next morning, curled up on the bed you shared with Mina, puffy eyed. you checked the time on your phone, seeing that it was five am. One more hour ‘til your work starts. you looked around, noticing that the big bed was empty. A sigh fell from your mouth, sadness and self hatred overwhelming you once again. The reasonable side of your mind yelled at you to wake up and stop doing this. Sadly, the other part of your head was screaming louder at you. whispering that promises would be broken, she’d just leave you in the end. 
You got out of bed and went to go take a shower and get ready. Upon leaving your room after getting ready, you found Mina curled up on the sofa very clearly shivering. You could hear the cracking of your heart from within. in that moment you didn’t care a bit for the voices screaming at you. You only cared for the girl who might catch a cold in her own house.
You picked her up bridal style and carried her over to the bed. You refused to be stopped by the fact that you weren’t strong enough to carry her and pushed through. With your will, came power, the strength to carry her smoothly suddenly entered your body. You carried her to your shared room with her and tucked her in bed. You turned on the small heater next to the bed and faced it towards her. 
You left a soft kiss on her forehead and then left for work. Breakfast was overrated anyways.
Tumblr media
Unlike every other day, today you came home to the beautiful face of Mina painted with anger. you didn’t acknowledge the obvious anger on her face and just brushed past her to the kitchen. Before you could take a step in that direction you found yourself being aggressively pulled back. a yelp escaped your lips at how unexpected it was. 
“Sit down.” Mina said, her voice tone serious and commanding. If you were anyone else you definitely would’ve. but you were you in the end. 
“I’m hungry-“ 
“Don’t make me repeat myself.” Her voice held no room for arguments, and even you knew better than to argue. 
Following her command, you sat. She sat down next to you on the couch and took your hand in hers staring deeply into your cold eyes. She couldn’t figure out what you were thinking, your eyes now cold, a stark contrast from how they used to be. 
“Baby please, talk to me. I know something’s bothering you, please, just talk to me.” Mina softly begged, her thumb drawing circles on the back of your hand. 
“i- uh-“ As soon as you felt your resolve dropping by the slightest, it all came back in a flash. Her flirting with Sana, everything. You pulled your hand away from Mina, so fast one might’ve thought it was a burn. 
“I don't know what you’re talking about. You’re probably just imagining things.” You said standing up and attempting to walk away. 
“y/n please, i know something’s up.” Mina once again pleaded, grabbing your hand, stopping you from leaving
“Nothings fucking up. You’re literally making shit up, and fucking let go of me. You’re so fucking annoying.” You said once again ripping your hand away from Mina's grip.
This time Mina didn’t allow it, gripping your hand tighter in response to you trying to pull your hand away. She pulled you back onto the couch and this time she stood up. 
“Just tell me what's wrong, and stop giving me so much attitude! You’re not my teenage fucking daughter that im just gonna put up with this!” Mina yelled, angry at the words you were spitting at her. 
“I- i think we should break up.” you stuttered out, in hesitance averting your gaze from Mina’s. 
“No.” she said flatly
“W-what?” you questioned, the possibility of this response never crossed your mind. Your gaze shifted back to Mina, trying to gauge her feelings, you couldn't though. You couldn't figure out what was going on behind those dark eyes of hers. You felt the the tables had just been flipped, you were now in her shoes. On the receiving end of her anger.
“There won't be a breakup until you explain why.” Mina said in the most monotone voice you’d ever heard from her. 
“I just- i dont l-love you anymore.” 
“Stop lying, you aren't fooling anyone with that.” Mina said, a laugh accompanying her words, you could practically feel the condescension dripping off her words.
You could feel the suffocating feeling in your throat creeping in, why couldn't she just understand and leave you alone. “I dont- i dont love you anymore. Just let me fucking leave!” you yelled out the end, frustration overtaking you.
You could feel the tears forming, the familiar feeling of butterflies in your stomach. Not the good kind of butterflies though, the ones that came along with a feeling of dread, the ones that you hated. 
“Stop fucking lying and just spit it out! What is going on with you?!” Mina shouted at you. You felt incredibly small at her shouts, sure you had done the same, but you had always been overly sensitive. You could feel the water leaking out of your eyes before you knew it. 
Mina was being so mean to you, she had never raised her voice at you before. You had taken her kindness for granted and now you were faced with the opposite of it. “J-just l-leave me alone.” you hiccuped out, covering your face in embarrassment. 
Why did you have to cry now of all times? You cursed your body for giving this kind of reaction to her shouting.
“Baby, please. Just talk to me.” Mina said, much softer this time, wrapping her arms around you. 
You found yourself instinctively cuddling into her embrace, shaking in her arms. “Why should I even stay with you if you're just gonna leave me in the end?” you mumbled into her chest.
Mina’s eyes widened at this, she held your shoulders and pulled you away to look you in your eyes. “Why would you even think that?” Mina questioned, clearly taken aback by your assumption. Had she done anything to make you feel that way?
“You're just gonna leave me for a prettier girl like Sana when you get tired of me.” You mumbled, pushing yourself back into her chest, embarrassed for talking about your emotions. 
“Babe, Sana’s like my little sister. And why would I leave someone as pretty as you. I don't think anyone could even come close to you in terms of beauty.” Mina said, holding you tight and kissing your head. 
“I don't know, I just saw you with Sana and just I don't know, it made me realize that you're way out of my league and you could just- leave me anytime.” 
“But I don't wanna leave you for anyone. I love you not anyone else.” Mina softly whispered into your ear. 
“I'm sorry,” you whimpered out, pulling your head out of her chest to look in her eyes as you pouted. “I’ve been such a bitch to you. I don't know how you put up with me.”
“I’d rather fight with you all night than spend a peaceful night with someone else.” Mina whispered out before softly connecting your lips with hers.
You could only be left in awe at the fact that it was always you she chose.

mina never liked warm things.
she hated the burning sensations on her skin whenever the summer sun shone above her. she despised the feeling of heat radiating off of a hot mug or a hot stove. all of these experiences continued to fuel her hatred for anything that wasn’t cold as ice.
myoui mina loved the cold.
she reveled in the icy embrace of winter, relishing the sensation of frost on her fingertips and the brisk chill that nipped at her cheeks. while others sought refuge in warmth, she sought solace in the frigid beauty of snowflakes and the sharp bite of a chilly breeze.
her affinity for the cold extended beyond mere preference; it was ingrained in her very being. mina possessed an extraordinary ability, where her own flesh and bones held traces of ice.  by channeling her inner frost,  with just a touch of her hand she could transfer her coolness onto any surface. 
it was similar to that of a “midas touch” but mina knew how to control herself.
she was no elsa, but her frosted abilities were simply a part of her. always had been, and always would be.
it made her an even better ballet dancer in the process. her cold face matched her dancing style, making her the true embodiment of cruel beauty.
the japanese woman hoped that the person she would fall for would love the cold just as much as she did. maybe that’s why she had a small mark behind her ear in the symbol of a flame? to signify her hatred for the scorching element. her soulmate must have a flame as well.
little did she know that it would be quite the opposite. and it all started with just a simple touch.
you were busy looking down at your phone, not noticing how you accidentally bumped into the japanese girl. however, you did notice the sudden icy sensation that almost mimicked frostbite on your burning skin. mina also noticed it, except for her it felt like she had burned herself on the stove or over a fire. 
in that serendipitous moment, the collision of cold and heat sent a jolt through both mina and you. it was as if the universe had conspired to bring together two opposing forces, testing the boundaries of what connections could truly be.
mina recoiled, instinctively pulling back her hand as she realized the impact her frosty touch had on you. confusion and curiosity mingled in her eyes as she took in your reaction. she had not expected this, and clearly neither had you.
as you looked up from your phone, your gaze met mina's, and in that instant, you both knew you two were the exact same, but also somewhat different. 
“i’m sorry,” you stammered out quickly, eyes frantically searching mina’s. instinctively you reached a hand out to make sure she was okay, but immediately pulled back before you could touch her once again. “i didn’t see where i was going. are you okay?”
mina's eyes softened as she observed your genuine concern and hesitation. she recognized the internal struggle within you, the conflict between your fiery nature and the unexpected chill that had emanated from her touch. in that moment, she saw past the surface and understood that your reaction stemmed from a place of self-preservation.
"it's alright," mina replied, her voice calm and soothing. "i’m okay, don’t worry. are you alright? my touch can be quite chilling." a hint of a smile tugged at the corners of your lips as relief washed over you. the tension that had initially filled the air began to dissipate, replaced by a shared curiosity and a desire to explore the enigma of your unique makeups.
“yeah, i’m okay.” you mirrored her small smile and stood up straight. “i’ll look where i’m going next time.”
the other ballerina chuckled softly. “that would be wise. i’m mina by the way.” she stuck her hand out for you to shake. except, the both of you just stared at it and let out small laughs. “oh right. sorry.” she lowered her hand  but kept her eyes on you. 
“i’m y/n.” your smile met your eyes, and mina could definitely tell even from your gaze that there were embers behind your eyes. or maybe she was just imagining such things.
you and mina were in the same studio, but practiced just an hour’s difference from each other. you were an hour after mina’s class, and she was an hour before you. from that initial meeting, the two of you would wave at each other in passing, doing your very best to avoid touching each other accidentally. sometimes the two of you would talk in between your classes, catching up and talking about nonsense.
mina still wasn’t fond of the heat, however she noticed something brewing inside her. why did she suddenly want to be around you more? how come she felt as if she was drawn to you, even in the crowd of other dancers?
it wasn’t until you wore your hair up in a bun one day that the ballerina got her answer. there, behind your ear, was a small marking in the shape of a snowflake.
she was both devastated and infatuated at the same time. there was no way you were her soulmate, right? it had to just be a coincidence that your marking was a match with hers, even as a polar opposite.
fire and ice. two contrasting elements that defined your essences. 
the dancer couldn't shake off the feeling of intrigue and confusion that swirled within her. the sight of the snowflake marking behind your ear seemed too uncanny to be mere coincidence. it was as if the universe was playing a bittersweet trick on her, intertwining her life with someone who embodied everything she had hoped to avoid.
as days turned into weeks, mina found herself drawn to you even more. she couldn't deny the genuine connection they shared, the effortless conversations, and the warmth she felt in your presence. it was a contradiction to everything she had expected, yet it felt undeniably right.
everytime the two of you were together, it seemed like your mere warm presence was gradually getting hotter. at first, mina thought it was just her imagination, but she immediately knew you felt something too because just yesterday you were covered in sweat after practice and still said something about feeling cold suddenly.
mina knew she had to talk to you about this. she needed to know for sure if what she was thinking was true or not.
one evening, after your respective ballet classes, she mustered the courage to confront the enigma that had taken hold of her heart. she found you sitting alone in the studio, lost in thought, and approached you with a mix of trepidation and longing.
"yn," mina spoke softly, her voice tinged with vulnerability. "i noticed the marking behind your ear, the snowflake.”
you took your headphones out and smiled up at the icy girl with a smile. “oh yeah. i’ve always had that. it’s cool right?” you turned your head to show her it fully, and even up close, the other girl knew without the shadow of a doubt that it was definitely not a coincidence. it even further confirmed her suspicions when she felt a familiar sensation of heat running across her skin due to being in your presence.
the japanese girl forced a tight lipped smile, watching as yours never faded. “can i show you something?” she whispered. with a swift nod, you watched as mina turned her neck and lifted her hair to show you the flame mark behind her ear.  
mina took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "i always believed that my soulmate would bear a flame symbol, representing the warmth and heat that i'm not accustomed to. but you have a snowflake, the epitome of cold and ice. it doesn't make sense."
a mixture of emotions flickered across your face. "i've always been drawn to warmth, to fire. it's a part of who i am. but meeting you, mina, has made me question everything i thought i knew.” you confessed.
mina's gaze softened as she listened to your words, her heart fluttering with hope. perhaps this unexpected connection wasn't a contradiction after all, but rather a harmonious blending of opposites. 
could the flames within you and the frost within her find a way to coexist?
mina murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "maybe our markings are a mistake?” eyes flickering to the floor beneath her feet. she was nervous; the japanese girl hated not knowing things.
“i’m not sure, but,” you exhaled a shaky breath, looking up at mina from the floor as you slowly rose to your feet. “this may sound really crazy, and i’m not sure if you feel the same way, but ever since the day we met…” you paused and clenched your fists, slightly shaking from the nerves you felt. “i’ve been wanting to touch you again.”
mina's breath caught in her throat as your words hung in the air. the vulnerability and desire in your voice resonated deep within her, mirroring the feelings that had been brewing within her own heart. the thought of allowing your contrasting elements to intertwine sent shivers down her spine, both from anticipation and fear.
she took a step closer, her eyes locked onto yours. "i've been feeling the same way," mina admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "but i’m scared. i know i’ll hurt you, and that scares me."
you couldn’t help but nod in understanding. she was right, after all. the two of you would only hurt each other more the closer you got. 
except, you didn’t care. mina was your soulmate, and you were hers. there had to be a way for this fated relationship to work.
tentatively, you reached out, your hand inching closer to hers. mina hesitated for a moment before intertwining her fingers with yours. the contrast between your warmth and her coolness sent a shiver down her spine, but it was a shiver filled with anticipation and newfound acceptance. 
it burned for her and stung for you. you had to bite your lower lip to stifle a hiss, mina mirroring your look of discomfort. it hurt quite a bit, but it also somehow felt so right.
after a few seconds, the both of you pulled your hands away. her skin was on fire, it felt like someone had scorched the surface and burnt through her flesh. 
as the pain subsided, mina looked at you, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of awe and determination. her hand felt tingly, a pins-and-needles type of sensation that stung more than it probably should have.
but oh god did she like it. no, mina loved it. she loved how your skin felt against hers. 
on the other hand, you were clutching your hand into your chest, breath shaky as your eyes met the other girl’s. “that hurt,” you said softly, biting your lower lip as your gaze remained on mina’s. “i’m sorry for hurting you.”
with newfound resolve, the japanese girl spoke, her voice filled with a mix of vulnerability and determination. "i don't care if it hurts.” the look on your face was one of pure shock. she couldn’t really mean that, could she? it really hurt for you, and you knew without the shadow of a doubt that it hurt for her as well. besides, didn’t she just say that she didn’t want to hurt you?
“mina,” you whispered, feeling your heartbeat pick up as she leaned in closer to you. “i care if it hurts. because it hurts me to hurt you, too.” the logical part of your brain was very loud, speaking louder than your heart it seemed.
to be honest though, it was an internal screaming match between your head and your heart. heat flushed to your face, a kind you weren’t used to before as mina’s face was mere inches from yours. 
her presence felt like frostbite, making the hair on your arms stand up from the goosebumps. mina’s breathing was just as staggered as yours. she was tired of pushing you away, tired of trying to run from your magnetic allure.
 mina wanted you. no, she needed you.
she needed to feel your flames dancing across her skin, to see how you shivered under her touch from the ice that flowed from her. you had managed to completely melt her heart, the ice now fully thawed within her.
and in that moment, as bitterly ironic as it was, mina once again was reassured that you were her soulmate. you were a scorching ball of fire, with a heat wave coursing through your veins. you were everything she was supposed to despise. 
except she didn’t despise you. you were the only warmth she would never hate.
she knew then that this journey wouldn't be easy, that there would be challenges and sacrifices to overcome. but she also knew that the bond between you was worth fighting for.
"we have a lot to figure out," mina said, her voice steady despite the irregular beating of her own heart. "but i believe in us, in the possibility of us coexisting.” she firmly stated, looking into your eyes as she seemed to be looking for any sign of you pushing her away. the japanese girl stared into your soul through the windows of your eyes, and within the flames that danced within them, she could only see the love you had for her.
you nodded, a flicker of hope and determination igniting within your eyes. this newfound understanding had opened the door to a world of possibilities, where the collision of your essences could maybe, just maybe, coexist.
the nod of your head was the only confirmation she needed from you. she leaned in and pressed her lips against yours.
the kiss was a melding of opposites, a clash of fire and ice, and yet, it felt like the most natural thing in the world. as your lips met, the heat of your passion intermingled with the coolness of mina's touch, creating a fusion of sensations that sent a surge of electricity through both of you.
in that single moment, the world around you faded away, and all that remained was the intensity of your connection. time seemed to stand still as you lost yourselves in the embrace, exploring the uncharted territory of your intertwined destinies. it was fate that brought you together, and now you two were choosing to stay as such, sealing the silent promise with a kiss.
as you finally pulled away, breathless and heart racing, a spark of realization flickered in both your eyes. this was just the beginning of a journey that would test the boundaries of your love and defy the odds stacked against you.
with your lips still tingling from the kiss, you locked gazes with mina, a mixture of determination and tenderness reflected in her eyes. the path ahead would be filled with challenges and uncertainties, but together, you were ready to face them head-on.
if only you two knew that this would be the beginning of the end. your fates may be intertwined, but they were for reasons you both did not understand until a few weeks later.
you and mina had a 12 second rule whenever you two would touch each other. this seemed to be the ideal time spot, because any less wasn’t enough for you and your lover, and any more was just a bit too much pain. 
however, you found yourselves pushing that time limit more and more with each passing day. at first you thought you two would be fine, but the both of you were starting to realize something tragic.
you were killing each other. softly and slowly, your burns were becoming irreversible, and her frost was becoming permanent. 
parts of your skin were bruising, soft shades of purple and blue were slowly becoming darker. initially, you thought that they were from ballet practice. maybe you had hit yourself on a few of the barres or something?
but then you noticed the way your lips were starting to turn blue, and that is when the realization hit you like a train. 
mina was killing you.
mina first noticed the red marks on her hands and thought they were just sunburns. she simply put sunscreen over them, and went about the rest of her days. except the marks didn’t lighten up at all. if anything, they magnified and increased in size up to her wrists.
when mina looked in the mirror one day after a pretty long ballet session, she saw the way her lips were puffy and red. it almost looked like her skin was infected underneath, with shades of bright crimson and undertones of orange. the realization also hit her like a freight train.
you were killing her.
your bruises were turning purple and black, and the pain intensified with each prolonged touch. mina's once icy touch now left permanent marks on your skin, while your fiery warmth left her with scars that refused to heal.
the realization hit you like a wave of cold dread. the very thing that drew you together, the magnetic pull between your contrasting elements, was slowly tearing you apart. it was a cruel irony that the love you shared was turning into a source of agony.
both of you knew deep down that continuing this way would only lead to irreversible damage and unbearable pain. the choice was clear, even if it was heart-wrenching.
with heavy hearts and tears welling up in your eyes, you knew what needed to be done. it was time to let go, to separate and protect each other from the destructive forces that threatened to consume you.
your voice trembled as you spoke, your words weighted with sorrow. "we can't keep going like this, mina. as much as it hurts, we have to accept it is too dangerous for us to be together."
mina shook her head, but you continued speaking with your voice choked with emotion. "i don't want to hurt you anymore, mina. we have to let each other go, for our own well-being.” you pleaded, now seeing up close all the marks you had left on the girl you loved more than anything.
silence filled the space between you, heavy with the weight of unspoken grief. however, mina refused to let this happen. this was not how she wanted things to end.
“i don’t care, y/n.” she whispered, voice filled with the same determination she displayed the day she first kissed you. “we’re going to die eventually. i’d rather die from loving you than simply dying alone.”
the ballet dancer sat in your lap, and you both could feel the burning and stinging sensations already. tears fell from your eyes even harder. “mina,” you choked out, tears cascading down your cheeks as she cupped your face. her fingertips felt colder than the arctic itself, and your skin felt hotter than the desert. “this is torture.” 
you had a fair point. this indeed was pure agony for the both of you. 
but she loved it. it was the sweetest pain she had ever felt.
it was burning hot through her veins, making her more sure that this was indeed torture. 
without any second thoughts, mina grabbed the back of your neck and pulled your lips against hers. burning and cooling, scorching and frigid, fiery and freezing. the sensations clashed both on the inside and the outside.
“i love you.” mina panted in between shallow kisses, not letting you pull away. your hands held her waist, moving her closer to your body. this woman of ice was going to extinguish your very soul, but she was also somehow setting it ablaze in a ring of fire that not even you had felt before.
your hands clung to her skin, feeling her fingers tugging at your roots. “i love you too.” you hissed out, feeling the overwhelming feeling of ice in your veins. this was agonizing. 
but true love was indeed true pain. only love can hurt like this.
in that bittersweet moment, you realized that mina’s love for you was beyond comprehension. she was willing to endure the pain, the torment, just to be with you. it was a testament to the depth of her affection, but it also tore at your heart knowing that you both would have to pay a heavy cost.
unfortunately, that cost was going to be your lives.
by the next evening, your bodies were found in mina’s apartment. there on her bed, lay your corpses intertwined with each other. your heads were buried into each other’s necks, noses barely grazing each other’s soul marks.
…FEMALE A WHO HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED YET, WAS COVERED IN PURPLE AND BLUE BRUISES. HER MOUTH AND HANDS SPECIFICALLY HAD TURNED BLACK, AND HER BODY WAS COLDER THAN ICE…
…FEMALE B WHO HAS ALSO NOT YET BEEN IDENTIFIED, WAS ALLEGEDLY COVERED IN SCORCH MARKS AND BURN SCARS. LIKE FEMALE A, HER HANDS AND LIPS APPEARED TO BE THE MOST AFFECTED AREAS…
“MUST HAVE BEEN A DEADLY KISS.” AUTHORITIES SAY AS THE BODIES ARE SENT OFF FOR AUTOPSY.

Far away - Twice’s Mina
Tumblr media
Requested
Mina x f!reader
Angst
There was a time when all you could think about was her.
After a long day at work, you would wait for her patiently to come back from practice to relax between her arms as you snuggled against her neck, her scent making you feel calm, protected and safe.
There wouldn’t be a moment where you wouldn’t be sending her a text reminding her how much you loved, missed, wanted to see her.
She was always ready to give you all the time, to stop everything she was doing to focus on you, because there wasn’t anything she loved more than you talking about your passions.
“Are you gonna love me until my hair turns gray?” she would randomly ask while caressing your head that was resting on her lap.
You would nod, as a chuckle adorned the moment, “why wouldn’t I? You got me wrapped around your finger”.
After a little more than two years of relationship, you started to notice how her schedule became more hectic with group and solo activities. You were happy your girlfriend’s career was blooming, you were proud of all the things she had achieved. Every bit of effort she had made staying up late practicing and rehearsing trying to perfect her art was worth it. 
You couldn’t help but smile at the TV whenever an ad featuring her pretty face would come up. 
“Look at my beautiful view,” you would text, attaching a picture of the TV.
However it would be left delivered for a couple of hours, before getting a short answer or even just a syllable.
There were days when all you wanted to do was to come home to her warmth, to be held after a discussion at work, to be listened to as you ranted about how awful people were.
Yet you arrived at an empty house and a phone ringing with no answer.
“Sorry, I can’t answer, I’m busy right now. I’ll stay at the dorm since I have a very early schedule tomorrow”.
You didn’t want to admit it, but it made you feel neglected.
You wanted to understand that she had priorities but weren’t you one of them?
--
There was a time you didn’t know about her for three days.
She was in America with the group for her tour, but she didn’t text nor answered your calls. You couldn’t get worried about her since she was still updating her socials. 
Her smile on pictures made you remember all the good times you spent together. How she would make you feel like the most important girl in the world. You missed the way her eyes sparked whenever they met yours.
It all felt so distant now. 
How much would that hollow feeling last? Would you stop feeling lonely once she was back? Did you really need her to be by your side all the time to know she loved you?
“Hello?” you answered your phone sleepily since it was almost 4am in the morning.
“My love,” the voice on the other side said.
It made your heart stop. A wave of emotions came over you as you felt tears filling your eyes.
“W-why didn’t you call as soon as you arrived?”
“I was busy, Y/N, I just got time to call you and let you know I’m fine,” she answered, a hint of guilt in her voice. You felt relieved at her news.
“I’m glad you’re fine,” you said, not really knowing what else to say.
There was a slight silence over the phone. You knew she could tell your mind was somewhere else.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, tentative. Her voice still calm as she didn’t know all the things that you were thinking about.
You knew there were things that couldn’t be discussed over the phone.
“Nothing, I just…”
“I can tell something is wrong by the sound of your voice, Y/N”.
“I promise,” you lied, “there’s nothing wrong, just.. come back soon, alright?” you almost pleaded, feeling the tears on your eyes again. 
You didn’t want to say some things out loud, it would make them real and it was a reality you didn’t want to face.
“I’ll try, although it doesn’t depend on me,” she trailed off. “I gotta go now, they’re taking us to a photo shoot in a moment,” she informed you, trying to make a little bit more of conversation.
“Alright, take care please,” you reminded her.
“I will,” she reassured you. “I’m going now, love you,” she said, waiting a second for you to reply.
But you felt the weight of the whole world falling onto you and crushing your heart in a thousand pieces.
After she hung up, you left the phone on your night stand as you hugged the pillow that still had her scent on it. 
The tears finally fell from your eyes as the hollow feeling inside you made you realize you couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine.
As soon as she was back, things were going to change forever.

Mina’s (Sharon’s) Consequences
Smut and angst
Tumblr media
Part of TIS (21-46)
(Mina get pregnant. Doesn’t know what to do.)
* Decided to put some of these chapters together to make easier to read. My parts are on the top and @coldfanbou ‘s comments are on the bottom. Easier to read both to understand. Hopefully this is easier to read.
Chapter 21:
A couple of days pass you the members host a baby shower. Games are played, and everyone has fun. Jihyo is happy, and everyone is interested in feeling the baby kick. You all play a game where you try to guess the flavor of the gum while not trying to get the ones with disgusting flavors. Momo gets a piece of gum that smells like a fart, and everyone laughs. Momo spreads her breath to Mina, and she auto begins to gag. She gets up and rushes to the bathroom, and throws up. Chaeyoung says that she’ll help her and continue the games.
“Haha Mina getting grossed out so easily is hilarious. As we get keep going through the games I make sure to check up on Jihyo every so often. At the same time I try to keep everyone entertained.”
Chapter 22:
Games continue, and food is served. They are jihyo’s favorite foods, and some of the members. You are busy hosting the party and notice Chaeyoung pulling Jihyo to the side and by the hallway. You see them having a conversation but continue serving Momo and her pig feet. You then look again and see Jihyo and Mina hugging.
“I get a bad feeling about this, I'm going to keep my suspicions to myself and continue like I saw nothing. I'll start serving Jihyo when she comes back to the group.”
Chapter 23:
You are curious about what’s going on and see Mina and Jihyo walking together, holding hands. They sit during the meal together. Mina as her hand on jihyo’s belly, and you notice a tear falling down from Mina’s eye. The party continues, and you have Chaeyoung pass by you saying “good luck” while laughing. At the end of the party, you ask Jihyo what happened, and she tells you not to worry about it.
“Well, I guess there isn't much I can do about this right now. I'll accept her answer and just start cleaning up the place.”
Chapter 24:
A couple of weeks have passed, and JYP has calmed down at work. You assist the members and notice that Mina has been acting a bit off. More than usual and is visiting Jihyo more than ever. When you go home, you see Mina undressing and trying on some of Jihyo’s clothes. She runs to the bathroom, and you ask her what’s going on. Jihyo says that she had to talk to you afterward. All three of you meet up, and Jihyo explains that mina has missed her period. You reply, “okay,” and Jihyo shakes her head. Mina, in a shy manner, holds her tummy, and you look confused. Jihyo then says, “our baby Jihyo is going to have a brother or sister.” Mina then stands up and says, “I’m pregnant!”
“Yeah I thought so...just when things were getting better at work too. I'm fucked. Well at least... I got nothing. I'm going to go into shock at this announcement but I'll tell them that I will support this child and Mina as well.”
Chapter 25:
You almost fainted at what you heard from Mina. Everything was going so well at work and with Jihyo, but this was unexpected. Well, you knew but weren’t sure. Now two kids and from two different people. What makes it worst for the same group. You ask her how it happened. She told you that Sana told her that protection wasn’t necessary and would be more without it. She said she didn’t know what it meant since it was her first time. She’s scared of what the other members will think of her. Even worse, what her parents and JYP is going to say.
“God JYP's gonna kill me. Welp, I ask Mina how she feels about being pregnant besides the fear she has. I'll have Jihyo lead the conversation after as I will be sitting there contemplating what to do next. ”
Chapter 26:
You ask Mina how she feels and what she thinks of getting pregnant. She tells you that she was scared at first since she didn’t know how her body was going to react. Her first sign was throwing up at the baby shower. She took a pregnancy test, and it came out positive but wasn’t sure if it was true. She was confused and couldn’t believe she got pregnant when she had sex for the first time. She wasn’t herself when she did it since Sana made her become Sharon after giving her some aphrodisiacs. Now that she knows she has a life inside her, she’s happy. She wants to be the best mom for the baby and wants to teach her how to dance. But she’s scared about how you are going to react and if you are going to deny the baby since it was a fling and you had Jihyo. She is scared to raise the baby by herself. As she talks, you can see how vulnerable she really is.
“I take hold of her hand, and tell her I won't deny the baby. It is my kid after all. I will support her as I did Jihyo, she can help even more than I can considering she going through her pregnancy. You don't have to worry about that we could be a big family, if that's alright with Jihyo that is.”
Chapter 27:
You hold her hand and tell her your opinion, and she begins to cry. You hug her and look at Jihyo, looking for approval. She nods yes. You ask her what she thinks. She says she thinks of all the members as her family and would be happy to have Mina be a permanent family member. She will put effort into helping her with Mina’s pregnancy as you work. Mina stops crying and laughs at how good you two are with her. She then asks you how you are going to tell JYP and how to tell her parents.
“Yeah I don't think the note thing is gonna work again. we'll take a small trip to her parents first though and she'll have to explain what happened to JYP and that this totally wasn't on me.“
Chapter 28:
Mina calls in sick and takes some days off. You do as well and go to Japan to visit her parents. Both of you are nervous about what to say. Mina’s mom greets both of you and reassures you that everything will be okay. You are a bit confused; her mom tells her that Mina called her a couple of days before and told her that she was pregnant. She says she will support her baby girl but will have to see how her dad responds. You all have dinner and wait for her dad to arrive from work.
“First, I'm going to apologize profusely, and then say that i will support his daughter to the best of my ability.”
Chapter 29:
You meet the father, introduce yourself and hold Mina’s hand. You apologize and tell him that she is pregnant with your child. He has no reaction for a couple of minutes. You become even more nervous. Mina’s mom interrupts and looks at the dad. He asks you how you will take responsibility and what type of work you do. The father asks you who your family is and how you got his baby girl pregnant. Are you going to marry her? Do you tell him about Jihyo?
“I'm going to explain that I'm a manager at the company, but I'm gonna exclude that I work for Twice, I'll tell him my family background too. I'm not going to tell him about Jihyo, and I'm going to fumble my words at the marriage part and try to give a subtle sign for Mina to help me out.”
Chapter 30:
You tell her father your job occupation and your family background. You try to be as smooth as possible with your words while looking at Mina. Mina stands up and shouts, “don’t worry, dad, he is very nice and reliable; he was gentle for my first time.” Mina’s mother blushes, and you and the dad turn red.
“Oh no, that's not the help I was hoping for. I'm gonna apologize again”
Chapter 31:
You look at the father and bow down on the floor and apologize. He rubs his chin and asks you if you can make her daughter happy and treat her with respect. Both mom and Mina look at you for an answer.
“I take hold of Mina's hand ,look her in the eyes and say of course, I'll bet my life on that. ”
Chapter 32:
You take hold of Mina's hand, look her in the eyes and say, of course, I will bet my life on that. The dad says he respects your resolve and congratulates you and Mina. He offers you to spend the night, to which you agree. Mom and dad tell you that since you are together, you will sleep in Mina’s old room. You nervously agree. You enter and see how lovely and fluffy her room is. You eat dinner and get ready for bed. Mom tells you that since both of you are together, father expects you to consummate your partnership with Mina. Mom says that Mina nervously said yes to father.
“Ooh boy this is gonna be troublesome. I'll look over at Mina for a sign, before trying to calm myself down. After we leave the home I'll tell Mina that we have to tell Jihyo what happened.”
Chapter 33:
Both of you are in Mina’s room and are awkwardly sitting in her bed. You can hear the dad from the other side of the door asking mom when you are going to hurry up and do it like a man. Mina looks at you and gives you the okay. You begin to slide your hand under her penguin-designed shirt and go toward her small breast. She softly tells you to lead the way. This turns you on, and you continue. After a couple of minutes, the parents can hear their daughter moaning and asking you to fuck her harder. The father tells the mother that he now knows that your words were true on taking care of her and that he has proof that you’re a man.
“It was a bit embarrassing having to do this but, I couldn't really get out of it. I'll check up on Mina after this is over, and we'll update Jihyo.”
Chapter 34:
After your time in the bedroom with Mina she has been really attached to you. She’s been asking you to always be with her and hold her hand. You go on small dates with her in the countryside. Every time she would ask for a kiss, you would give it to her. The trip ends, and it’s time to go back to Korea and confront JYP.
“That might be a problem. I'm glad the trip with Mina went well at least. I'm going to have her do the talking when we meet JYP, I'm already going to be in trouble so it would be better if he heard it from her.”
Chapter 35:
You arrive in Korea and head to jihyo’s house. Mina runs towards Jihyo with her penguin walk and hugs her. You explain the situation in Japan and begin to get ready for JYP. You arrive at the JYP building and go to his office after making an appointment. Both you and Mina sit and explain that Mina is pregnant with your child after Mina got a jump on you. JYP, obviously frustrated, remembers jihyo’s warning. He walks to Mina and asks her if she’s okay. She cries a bit but nods okay. He walks towards you and is about to slap u in the face but instead flips his table over. He asks you, "why you gotta get another member pregnant. Why couldn’t you keep quiet and keep it in your pants?"
“I tell him I'm not the one at fault here, I didn't plan or mean for this to happen. I was tied up, there’s not much I could've done to keep this from happening, but I do plan to take responsibility for what comes next (referring to Mina). ”
Chapter 36:
You tell him your version of the story and that you will take responsibility for both of them. But he is doubtful. He asks you what’s is your plan for all five of you and how you plan on raising the children. He jokes around and says they might need to give you a vasectomy to keep you in check, which makes you cough out of nervousness.
“Well I'll try to explain we'll be a big family, and that I have the support of their parents so it shouldn't be too difficult to handle it all. I'll try to avoid the vasectomy thing because I'd rather not do that.”
Chapter 37:
You tell him that you have the support of their parents, but JYP asks you if the parents know that you have two girls pregnant instead of just one. What are you going to do when they surprise visit you and see two children instead of one?
“ That is something we'll have to discuss in private, most likely we can say we're taking care of a friend's child (which technically isn't wrong lol) but that is something we will have to talk about. I'll look toward Mina to see if she has anything to add.”
Chapter 38:
Mina then says she doesn’t want you to get a vasectomy because she would like more children. JYP tells Mina that she will stay with the group and take part in the schedule until she starts to show a belly. She agrees with JYP's comment. JYP says that Jihyo and Mina will later move to a countryside residence that will be bought by a third party to rest and give birth to.
“He's too reasonable now, I'm slightly suspicious. For the moment though I'm glad he's being agreeable. I suppose that ends the meeting, Mina and I will leave.”
Chapter 39:
The only reason why JYP is calm is that Jihyo knows a lot of dirt about the company after spending most of her life training there. He Is also down two members instead of one and is worried about the group going down as a whole. You go back to Jihyo and explain the move to the countryside and decide on how to break it down to her parents. Before you leave, Jihyo asks you why Mina is so attached to you.
“I have to explain that I'm not really sure either, ever since we had sex at her home she's been like this. I talk to Jihyo more about it considering she knows Mina better than I do.”
Chapter 40:
You explain to her what happened, and she listens to you in deep thought. She tells you that Mina has basically imprinted on your ass, so she will crave your attention. Jihyo says it’s a good thing because she can’t have sex with you no more since it hurts her body. She tells you to have sex with Mina instead and make sure the pregnancy goes smoothly.
“Hmm I see. Well as long as I have her blessing I'll do so when Mina wants to, otherwise I will not. That being said I still want to be around Jihyo to just cuddle.”
Chapter 41:
All three of you have dinner and discuss that you will satisfy Mina’s needs when she has them. She is happy and hugs both you and Jihyo. You say that you will also take care of Jihyo as a priority since she is more along in her pregnancy. Jihyo says that since she sleeps early that she will want you to cuddle with her to sleep. She then says that you can either sleep in a separate room since she can’t have you disturbing her sleep. Mina says that she would like you to sleep with her until she falls asleep and cuddle with her well. Movie nights are a must. Jihyo also says that some of the members will come to visit often to check up on both of them.
“I'm going to make myself a list to remember everything I need to do for them. So I'll cuddle with Jihyo until she falls asleep and then go over to Mina when I can. I'll also looks for movies that way we can have a variety of things ready to watch for movie nights. I'll also have to clean that way when the members do come to visit it won't be a mess.”
Chapter 42:
The first week runs smoothly, and you are able to manage your schedule with Jihyo and Mina. It isn’t until Jihyo begins to have cravings in the middle of the night that you begin to have a lack of sleep. Sometimes Jihyo calls you as you are cuddling with mina. There was an incident where you are in eating out Mina, and she is on the verge of cumming when you hear the ringtone that is specifically for Jihyo. Mina feels a bit neglected.
“I suppose that I'll start to give Mina more attention while we're out by ourselves to try and make up for being interrupted so often. I'll also ask Mina and Jihyo if they could bring in a member to live with us or something so we can handle things better.”
Chapter 43:
Jihyo and Mina agree and ask you which members would be on your top list to live in since they are all willing to. You tell them that you will think about it and tell them later. You let Mina know that once they get some help, you will be able to give her more attention. JYP calls you in and tells you that you will have to fly out to Japan for a week to scout areas for a shoot. You need to get a list of who would be able to live with Jihyo and Mina.
“My list would have Dahyun and Sana at the top. Considering that Sana helped out before and Dahyun seems like she would be dedicated to helping them. Tzuyu, Momo, and Chaeyoung follow with Jeongyeon and Nayeon being at the end since I'm pretty sure I haven't made up with them after that time I told Nayeon to stay out of our business. I should apologize for my rudeness. I'll give them my list and talk about it with them before the trip to Japan.”
Chapter 44:
You give them your list before you leave for Japan, and they agree. Dahyun and Sana move into the house and settle in. Each member is getting the proper attention, and Jeongyeon visits once in a while to do a deep cleaning. You come back from Japan, and everything goes well for a couple of weeks. It begins to get busy, and your commute with Dahyun and Sana to the company. From morning to late night, you three travel together, talking about jihyo’s and Mina’s development. One night Dahyun and Sana go out with the rest of the members to a party, and Jihyo is with her grandparents. You take this opportunity to spend time with Mina. Maybe asks you to watch a movie with her, and you agree. Both of you cuddle, and you place your hand on her belly, which is now showing. Mina then whispers to your ear that she wants you to fuck her there and now. You’re surprised but agree and begin some foreplay. She is undressed, and you can see her baby bump and her boobs that have gotten twice as big as before. You are gentle with her, but she asks you to lift her up. You lift her, and she wraps her around you while you have your cock inside of her. She jumps up and down and describes everything that she is feeling and you are doing. As you are both about to cum the door opens, and Dahyun sees you pounding Mina. Both of you look into her eyes, and you both cum together.
“Well shit... obviously I'm in shock, and start to explain everything in a panic. After that while still holding Mina I take us to her room, embarrassed.
Chapter 45:
Dahyun drops her chocolate shake and can’t take her eyes off what is in front of her. You panic and try to explain what is happening, but Mina isn’t mina right now she's Sharon. She turns your head and tells you not to let good and to keep going as her pussy is holding your cock hostage with a tight grip. She is looking into your eyes, and you are frozen. She lifts herself up and impales herself back, and gives a loud moan while calling you daddy. It makes your cock harden quickly and makes Mina moan harder. Dahyun tries to pick up her chocolate shake while still focusing her eyes on you. She then realizes what she is doing and runs off quickly to her room while apologizing.
“Sigh... of course Sharon makes an appearance. I'll try to talk with Dahyun after I'm done with Mina, or maybe the next day to give her time to cool off. For now though, I guess I have to punish Mina a little.”
Chapter 46:
After Dahyun enters her room, you warn Sharon that Sana might walk in too. Sharon replies with an attitude, “what are you going to do about it” that makes you angry. You walk towards her room while holding her and place her on the bed. You flip her over and smack her ass that has gotten juicer with pregnancy. You know her ass is her weakness. You beat your cock on her butt cheeks and tease her entrance. Cum begins to drip from her pussy from the earlier action. You warm her to obey you next time, and she scoffs. You, in one, go impale her ass all the way, and she drops her body to the bed. You then proceed to give her anal for a good 30 minutes until she falls asleep with a smile on her face. Little did you know that Dahyun next door had been listening to you two having sex the whole time.
“Well that backfired a bit, too bad I don't know that. I think I'll knock on Dahyun's door and ask if I could talk to her. I'd like to at the very least apologize for what she had to see.”

call me at midnight
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
momo misses you - but in a completly different way than you thought.
Tumblr media
I got a special inspiration for this >_<, something short bc im working on lots of other things ; phone sex ; bottom!momo (omg what????) ; degradation ; praising
men dni.
-
Twice's fifth world tour through many countries, almost all continents and even more cities.
Of course you're happy, it's incredible that her group is so popular.
But you are someone who misses other people very quickly.
Momo is no exception to this.
You lie awake in your bed, the clock reads 9 pm.
You're scrolling through social media when you decide to call Momo.
Even though she's on another continent and there's a big time difference, that doesn't stop you.
It rings once, twice, three times, and before it can ring a fourth time, she answers.
"Y/n!" she says, and you can tell from her tone that she has a big smile on her face.
"How are you?" you ask her, hoping not to interrupt anything important.
"Fine, we have several hours of rest, so I'm resting in the hotel room," she answers.
"Good for you" you say.
The two of you make small talk, Momo tells you funny things she has experienced - you listen.
But the mood begins to change a little (or completly) when you begin to compliment her.
"I've seen videos of the tour, you dance really well," you say, hearing her giggle.
And you know you've hit a nerve, you know how her brain melts when you compliment her in any way.
"Thanks," she says, but you don't stop.
"I wish I was here with you to show you how much I enjoyed your performance," you say in a lower voice with a flirtatious undertone.
You hear Momo start to breathe more heavily.
And you know exactly what she's doing when she says -
"Please keep talking."
Her voice is high as she finishes her sentence, her breathing not in time, but irregular.
"Why should I?" you ask, feeling the smile that comes to your lips.
"I need it," she answers, you are silent.
And Momo realizes that she knows what you want to hear.
"I need you," she says, a whimper at the end of the sentence.
Your smile widens as you laugh a little.
"You're really pathetic, Momo, you know that?"
You hear a moan, more unclean and heavy breathing.
And even though it's obvious what Momo is doing, you still ask -
"You're touching yourself, aren't you?"
She answers with a moan and you feel your cheeks turning red.
"You got horny because I complimented you?" you ask teasingly, stressing the complimented.
"Mhm-...y/n please," she replies.
"How pathetic that you get horny so quickly, Momo," you say with a little laugh.
You hear more whimpering, more moaning and more heavy breathing.
"I love it, honestly, what would the others think if they saw you like this? See how you immediately start touching yourself when I just say a few things to you?" you tease.
You smile as you hear her breathing quicken as she whispers "please-" and "I'm close-" several times.
"That fast?" you laugh.
"Do I make you that horny?" you ask, even though you know the answer.
"You're a little perverted, Momo," you say, and she moans louder.
You stop talking and listen to her.
"Please - y/n... fuck-..I'm -"
Your cheek gets redder and redder, and you feel yourself getting wetter and wetter, but you decide to ignore it.
You listen as she gets louder, her sounds getting higher and higher as she cums.
It's quiet for a few moments as she calms down.
"How was it?" you ask.
"Good, very good," she answers, still slightly out of breath.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a/n: how could i post a month of blurbs and no angst? sike u thought bitch.
you can tell the exact moment she breaks. you’ve been trying to tell her you’ve noticed it all, but you always missed her.
“hey, wheres mina?” the last group arrives at the dorm, but instead of four, it’s only sana, jihyo and momo.
“practicing” momo responds absentmindedly, her mind completely on the cold noodles they picked up on the way.
“again?” jihyo shares your concern, both your eyes speaking for themselves. she almost stops eating to come with you, but you reassure her it’s better you go alone.
if this wasn’t your partner’s breaking point, it was yours.
you couldn’t believe you were, but in your head, silently, you were weighing out whether this or her anxiety break had been worse.
from a while back, you noticed mina had been spending way too much time practicing than normal, dancing, singing, all of the above. for some reason, her diet was much stricter than yours or the others and her scheduled was way more packed all of the sudden.
come to think of it, you never heard her say no anymore.
“mina, elle wants you for their july-“ “yes”
“after the shoot, do you think you can take a couple of picture at the grand opening-“ “sure”
“do you have any free time slots tomorrow” “i’ll make the time”
but she wasn’t enthusiastic about it either. and trust, the sex was there and so were the loving kisses and whispers, it’s just, her eyes, mina isn’t there anymore.
“okay. i hear you” jihyo rubbed your back up and down as she listened the first time. you felt so bad you had woken her up in the middle of the night to complain, but more than your leader she was your best friend, if anything she could possibly get through mina. “not me, i can try, but there’s no way she’ll hear me out before you”
“she’s killing herself” jihyo wipes your tears and takes a deep breath to hold some of her own.
“i know it’s hard to think about but y/n- i need you to break her-” the entire time the words came from her mouth, she can see the denial in your eyes and how the pout on your lips deepened.
that was then, now, you’re angry.
“oh, this again. awesome, i’m kind of rusty myself” you drop your gym bag on the floor and begin to tie your hair as you get in position.
you can’t lie and say you willingly got out of bed at almost ten at night to practice. you willingly got out of bed this late because of her. one more night feeling the bed deepen with her body at some much late hour than you tried going to sleep was going to drive you off a cliff.
“y/n? what are you doing here baby?” your eyes press shut and you turn your head to the side when she pauses the music, arms crossed as a tactic to not let her in this time.
“what are you doing here mina?” you never did what jihyo asked, it hurt you to hurt her, but now you had to, because you love her, and you want her to love herself again too.
“i’m.. rehearsing” she replies as if it were obvious.
“i can see that, but why? do you know what time it is?”
“no?”
“it’s late, if we don’t go home we’re going to have trouble waking up tomorrow” her chest stings at all the ‘we’s, and you can see her now usual facade start to lessen. she’s heard you before, she just never listened.
“go home. i’ll be there soon” she tries to shake all the red blaring sirens telling her she’s tired, that you’re right and that she should go home with you, try to sleep more than four hours tonight.
“i’m not going anywhere without you mina” your hands fall at your sides and you begin to walk towards her, stopping only a couple of steps apart. “you can’t tell me you don’t know what you’re doing”
“i’m just practicing babe, i’ll be there soon. i promise”
“you’ve broken a lot of promises lately, you know that right?” you watch her swallow, turn around to fidget with something at the radio station instead of looking at you. “if you know exactly what i’m talking about, why tip toe?”
“i don’t know y/n” her voice raises higher than the usual whisper, and you don’t know whether to be upset at her or put yourself in her shoes. “it’s working. i’ll be home soon”
“what’s working?”
“i said-“
“yeah, you said you’ll be home soon. but you’ve told me that the last three nights and it wasn’t true. what’s working?”
“y/n- i-“
“mina, this is not working. nothing is working. im worried about you all the time and you’re not even letting me in. either we go home and talk about proper help or i’ll be joining you.”
“baby. it doesn’t work like that” she’s scared, you can see that much now, she’s finally allowing herself to feel rather than bottle it up and swallow it down with her usual work ethic.
“all these late practices, the crazy diets. cramped schedule? count me in, i’ll do it all if that’s what it takes for you to stop” she looks like she’s been caught, biting her lips and looking down in shame. and you let yourself calm down, soften even as you walk towards her, closer until you’re asking for her hands. “i’m worried mina. let me help you”
“you don’t understand” a single tear falls on your hands, now clasped together with hers as she stares at them.
“then tell me. i’ll listen. if you’re scared, i’m here. mina. i love you, i’m done letting you go through this alone” you squeeze her hands, hoping for some sort of emotion, thankfully she squeezes yours back.
“i don’t want the girls to know” she sniffles, watching you nod and swallow a lump in your throat, hoping no tears came out, because you’ve cried enough. you needed to be there like mina had been for you when you needed, loving you through all your hardships.

(Alternative Ending) 79 days: bursting blooms
Myoui Mina x reader
Part of the series: Palette
Previous chapter: (13) 1 day: colorless
Tumblr media
79 days.
Letting out a frustrated groan, Mina reached out her hand blindly to find her ringing phone on the bedside table. Having had a late night out, drinking till the early hours of dawn, she was furious at anyone who dared to disturb her slumber at six in the morning. 
Without checking who was calling, Mina brought her cell phone to her ear.
"Don’t call me this early unless someone is dying," she gritted her teeth, rubbing her pounding head in anger.
“Don’t yell at me. I wouldn’t call you if I didn’t have to,” Haerin’s soft voice echoed through the line. “Can you drive us to the hospital?”
Face burning in shame, Mina quickly cleared her throat. “Yes, I’ll be there. What happened?”
“Don’t pretend to care,” Haerin said, her voice void of any emotion, before hanging up.
It had been a while since Mina last saw or heard from Haerin.
She missed the young girl, treating her like her own sister. But the cat-like girl bore such a strong resemblance to you, and seeing her was not good for her conflicted emotions. Mina missed you dearly, but was unable to get over her resentment towards you. Her mind was a chaotic mess, and she was not strong enough to sort through her thoughts, but she prayed that with time, she would be able to make her way back to you.
Her heart pounded in both worry about you and suspense of seeing you after a while as she sped down the empty roads of early Seoul towards your flat.
Leaning casually against the hood of her car, Mina waited for you and Haerin, softly humming a tune in an attempt to quell her anxious thoughts. She attempted to appear nonchalant, as if she wasn't nervous or she hadn’t cared enough to miss you. She hoped you couldn’t see her desperation on her face. 
The slam of the front doors brought her attention towards the entrance of your building. It dawned on her that you had lost weight drastically. You were always slender, but this time you looked unhealthy. She wondered if you had stopped eating, or if your insomnia was acting up again. Wearing a snug grey sweater and jeans, you looked even smaller than ever. You looked like you were about to pass out any second as you made your way down the concrete stairs, with Haerin supporting you carefully from behind.
Dropping the 'I don’t care' facade in an instant, Mina rushed over to support you, slinging your bag over her shoulders and gently guiding you towards the front seat. Her heart hammered in worry; it was her first time seeing you like this. 
“Thanks,” you muttered, before slinking down into the familiar soft leather seats.
A new smell of smoke invaded your nose, but you decided not to comment about it, too tired to start an argument. 
Reaching over to buckle your seat belt, Mina gave you a soft smile. The same smile you fell in love with all those months ago, and it didn't fail to make your heart skip a few beats. No matter how much hurt she put you through, or how much betrayal, your heart would always yearn for her.
"Are you okay?” Mina’s voice was low as she inspected your face and tired eyes.
Before you could reassure her that you were fine, the loud slam of the back door of the car interrupted you. Haerin was notably mad at Mina, and you couldn’t blame the younger one for showing her anger. She was just protective over you.
Haerin simply glared at the idol and stayed silent, ignoring Mina’s questions and looking out of the window. The catlike girl was too young to understand the concept of love, and that was okay. She couldn’t understand that people are free to choose who they love, even if it leaves the other to demise. The soulmate connection is just a connection to bring suitable people together, but to win someone’s love is the biggest challenge. You hoped that Haerin would always be receiving love, and show her love without fear, even when you were gone.
After dropping Haerin off at school, Mina drove towards the hospital in silence. Countless unspoken words lingered in the air, yet neither you nor Mina acknowledged them. Parking the car, Mina turned to you, her eyes clouded with concern.
“What’s wrong, Y/N?” She tentatively cupped your cheeks with her warm hands, and you briefly closed your eyes, relishing the familiar and missed gesture.
“Nothing,” you replied simply.
“I can tell you haven’t been sleeping or eating.”
At her observation, you pulled away, distancing yourself from the fleeting comfort she offered. You knew Mina wouldn't always be there to care for you.
“I’m fine,” you said, reaching to unbuckle your seatbelt.
“Tell me what’s wrong,” Mina demanded, attempting to grab your arm to stop you. But as soon as her hand brushed your wrists, you hissed in pain and yanked your arm away from her.
In that moment, it dawned on her that time was running out. Your sickness was a consequence of her indecisiveness.
“Don’t wait for me. I can get home myself,” you mumbled, swiftly exiting the car, but not before Mina noticed a trickle of blood escaping from your eyes. 
You were crying blood.
.
.
.
.
Mina tried to slow down her racing heartbeat as she gazed at the small hourglass keychain in front of her, its yellowish-brown particles forming a triangular pile at the bottom. The passage of time served as a stark reminder of her relationship with it, bringing to mind all the moments she had let slip through her fingers, all the times she had wasted on someone else when she could have been with you. Sitting there, smoking one cigarette after another, she tried to clear her mind, but the sinking feeling in her stomach persisted.
After dropping by your favorite brunch place to grab you some lunch, Mina found herself circling back to the hospital to look for you. Despite her attempts to appear indifferent, she couldn't bear seeing you in so much pain. She had practice scheduled for today, but her comeback was the last thing on her mind at the moment. So there she was, waiting for you to emerge from the hospital building, her thoughts in disarray and her heart pounding erratically with worry.
Having called your number after sending several unread texts, Mina noticed that the ringing was coming from the backseat of her car. It was then that she realized you had forgotten to bring your bag. Reaching back to retrieve the worn black bag, a small notepad slipped out and landed on the carpeted floor of the car with a subtle thud.
Mina hesitated, but eventually picked up the notepad and flipped through the pages. She didn't mean to intrude on your privacy, but she couldn't resist perusing your writing. It brought back memories of the little notes you used to leave on her fridge before heading off to work, and the love letters you would slip into her bag during her promotions.
The initial pages contained simple daily tasks, like reminders of what to pick up at the supermarket. Mina couldn't help but smile at how you highlighted her favorite foods as "must buy" and made notes for various dates, such as:
214, 9 p.m. - teach Haerin how to fry an egg
207 - call mom.
However, as she delved deeper into the notepad, her heart ached with regret and pain.
198 10 a.m. - Pick Mina up from the airport. She has practice.
143 7 p.m. - Date Night. Cancel.
109 - Anniversary dinner. Cancel.
"102 - Bring Mina lunch. Cancel. 
With each strike through the events Mina had missed, it seemed as if another volley of arrows launched itself at her heart as she read the list of disappointments you had endured. She had deliberately pushed you away, focusing more on her internal conflicts than on your feelings. While you were patiently waiting for her at home, consumed by thoughts of her, she was seeking solace in the arms of strangers at parties, attempting to drown her feelings for you.
Forcing herself to continue reading, Mina tried to suppress the physical pain coursing through her body as she encountered each instance where she had bailed on you. She desperately searched for any evidence that she had brought you happiness. Just once.
But to her dismay, she found none.
As the pages progressed, your normally neat handwriting devolved into hurried scribbles, as if you were racing against time to record everything before it slipped your mind. They weren't plans, but rather updates on your whereabouts and activities, with specific instructions.
93 1 p.m. - Photoshoot at Songjeong beach. Did not drive. Call Karina immediately.
89 - Already bought groceries. Do not buy again.
76 - At the bank. Take bus 311 home.
73 - At the hospital. Mina drove. Take taxi home.
Amidst the entries, there were pages filled with basic information such as your phone number, address, and even your own birthday and age.
It was then that it hit Mina. You were losing your memory, which explained the meticulous updates and the information you felt compelled to record. You were tracking the passing days with the numbers on your wrists, the numbers being something you would never forget.
But it was something Mina had managed to erase from her mind. She had forgotten that you were slowly approaching the end of your five years.
Panicking, Mina hastily returned the notepad to your bag and hurriedly exited the car, sprinting toward the hospital to find you. A couple of hours had slipped by since she dropped you off, and she cursed her own foolishness for not entering the hospital sooner to locate you. You had forgotten your phone, your bag, and the notepad, heightening Mina's concern now that she knew you were struggling to retain memories beyond a few hours.
Scurrying through one hallway after another, her sneakers squeaking, Mina checked every door, hoping to catch a glimpse of you. People began to recognize her as she dashed past them in a frantic frenzy. She had forgotten to put on her face mask in her rush to get to the hospital, but her worries about dispatch noticing her presence were the least of her concerns. Despite spending so much time pushing you away, all she wanted now was to have you safe in her arms.
Ironic isn’t it?
Running her fingers through her hair in desperation, she scanned the hospital courtyard, hoping to spot your familiar silhouette. Yet, all she could see were a few nurses leisurely strolling under the gray skies with their patients beneath the trees. You had parted ways with her hours ago; you had likely already left and wandered off somewhere far away by now. Mina knelt to catch her breath, wiping the sweat and a few tears from her forehead before collapsing onto the soft grass in defeat.
Perhaps it was too late. She had wasted so much time pushing you away, and you had given her chances time and time again, only to be let down eventually. She had run out of chances, and there seemed to be nothing she could do.
“The young woman you’re looking for…” A gentle, frail voice interrupted Mina's despair, causing her to startle and look up.
It was an old woman, hunched over her cane, her face adorned with wrinkles and her nearly white hair peeking from beneath her light green hospital gown.
“She went that way an hour ago.”
Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion, Mina realized she had never met this woman, nor had she mentioned to anyone that she was searching for someone.
“Do you want some advice?” the old woman asked, smiling kindly at Mina’s bewilderment, her jet-black eyes sparkling with life, a stark contrast to her weathered appearance.
Slowly leaning down toward the crying idol, the old woman gently took Mina’s right hand in her warm grasp, tracing the fading palette tattoo with her fingers. As soon as her touch connected with Mina’s tattoo, a searing pain shot through her heart, before spreading along her veins to her arm. Mina’s tattoo transformed back into its vibrant design, now featuring a subtle addition: a red line extending from the palette, encircling her wrist like wisps of smoke.
“Why chase camera lights when you have the entire sky of fireworks in your hands?” the old woman whispered in her ear before placing something in Mina’s palm.
It was a piece of red thread, similar to the new addition in her tattoo. Mina examined it closely, sensing an unfamiliar warmth emanating from the thin material, its pulsations echoing her own heartbeat.
“Last chance,” the woman’s voice faded into the surroundings like a gentle breeze.
When Mina raised her head to look for the woman, she had disappeared. Mina quickly rose to her feet, attempting to locate where the woman had gone. She had countless questions, but the steady throb of the thread in her hand nudged her confusion aside. She had more important matters to attend to. Quickly wiping away any traces of tears, Mina composed herself, suppressing all doubts. She wouldn't stop looking for you until she found you.
Darting in the direction the old woman had indicated, the idol resumed her search, calling your name as she combed through the streets. The sun was setting, and the chill in the air grew more noticeable; she worried that you might catch a cold, given your already weakened state.
Two hours later, with the moon hanging low in the dark sky, Mina was beginning to lose hope. She decided to contact her fellow TWICE members and your mutual friends to seek their help in the search. Her bandmates grew concerned when she missed a crucial meeting with J.Y. Park himself, and they had been rejecting every call their manager made. Informing them of her plan, their shared friends were relieved that Mina had finally come to her senses. They were tired of watching her self-destruct and break your heart repeatedly.
“Come on, Mina, think,” Mina muttered, rubbing her forehead in frustration.
By now, you could be anywhere. She had searched all your favorite spots, but to no avail. Maybe she didn't know you as well as she had thought. After all, she had pushed you away for so long.
“She started to forget about things, but she always managed to remember you,” Haerin quietly remarked to the idol, leaning against the wall.
The younger girl joined the search as soon as she saw Mina's distressed texts, calling Ryujin to pick her up from school. She was furious upon learning that Mina had lost you, but she couldn't bring herself to continue resenting the distraught idol. Seeing Mina break down in a crying mess was not something she enjoyed. Haerin just wanted her family back, she wanted you back.
It suddenly clicked in Mina's mind. Guryongpo Beach. The very beach where she discovered you were her soulmate, and where you shared your first kiss. You might have forgotten everything else, but you would never forget the place where you shared a cherished memory with her. You loved her too much to let go of any recollection about her.
“Thanks, Rinnie,” Mina muttered, squeezing Haerin’s shoulder in comfort before dashing toward her car, leaving the younger girl puzzled. However, the determined expression etched on the idol's face was enough to reassure her that everything would be alright.
With thoughts of you consuming her mind, Mina sped down the highways toward the beach in half the time it would normally take, likely getting a few speeding tickets along the way. But she didn't care about that. She didn't care if dispatch caught wind of the ever-perfect role model Mina speeding at a dangerous speed, she didn't care if dispatch uncovered her relationship with you, and she didn't even care if she got fired from TWICE. All she cared about was finding you. It was a shame that it had taken her so long to finally come to her senses.

Getting out of her car, the slam of the door resounded loudly, echoing along the empty beach. The tide was higher than the last time Mina had been there, the dark, black abyss of the unknown seemingly ready to swallow her up. She shivered as the chilly ocean breeze blew across her face, squinting her eyes as she scanned the area for you. That’s when she recognized your familiar silhouette, a little further down the beach, attempting to light something in your hands.
Hurrying down the sandy wooden stairs, she ran toward you, stumbling every so often as her sneakers got caught in the sand. The path to you was rough, but it paled in comparison to what she had put you through in the past few months. She would climb through lava just to make it up to you.
Finally reaching you, she found you sitting on the sand dangerously close to the water, trying to light a sparkler. You appeared fragile but determined, as if nothing was more important than the bag of sparklers beside you.
The wind kept extinguishing the lighter in your hands, and you repeatedly clicked it in frustration.
"Dammit," you muttered under your breath, hunching over in concentration.
Mina couldn’t help but find you adorable in this situation.
“Y/N,” Mina said, finally catching your attention.
You looked at her in surprise, not having heard her footsteps as they were drowned out by the ocean tides. 
“Mina?” you replied, giving her a dazed, melancholic smile.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you have work?”
“I was going to ask you the same thing,” the idol said, slowly sitting down next to you, as though you were a wild animal she was afraid to scare away with any sudden movements. 
“That’s silly. I’m here because…” You paused, furrowing your eyebrows in confusion as you tried to recall the reason.
“I don’t remember,” you admitted, looking down at your shoes in embarrassment.
“It’s okay, Y/N,” Mina reassured you, gently placing her warm hands on your cold ones. “It’s okay.”
“I bought you sparklers because I remember you said you liked how they looked like fireworks, but I couldn’t light them up,” you said, hoping it could explain why you were sitting there without any reason on the beach.
“You said that all of our wishes will come true if we light them together, but this stupid lighter won’t let me light any of them up.” You rambled on.
You were terrified that you couldn’t remember why you were there. You even had a hard time recalling what you did before getting on the bus. All you knew was that you felt drawn to this beach, and you had to come.
Your breath hitched up as you started to panic, a few tears slipping from your eyes as you tried to recollect any memories of this morning.
Sensing your distress, Mina quickly reached up and tenderly wiped away the dark red drops of blood escaping your eyes. Your condition was worse than it had been this morning, and Mina was shocked at how fast the deterioration was.
“Let’s light one together, jagi,” the idol suggested, giving you her familiar lopsided smile that always made you feel better, the one that made you feel safe.
“Let’s make a wish.”
Pulling out another lighter from her jacket pocket, Mina lit up a fresh sparkler and placed it in your hands, all the while making a mental note to quit smoking, noticing the disapproving wrinkle of your nose at the sight of her pulling out the lighter with familiarity.
As you held up the lit sparkler and looked at it in amazement, Mina kept her eyes on you. Your face was illuminated by the soft crackling lights, and golden hues reflected in your eyes. When your eyes met hers, the sound of her heartbeat drowned out the sounds of the waves, and all she could hear was the strong and fast pace of her heart. All she could see was the color of you. She had spent so much time searching for colors in others, when you had given her a full palette of yourself.
At that moment, she was certain she would do anything to stay by your side.
“Make a wish, Mina,” you whispered, giving her a sense of déjà vu.
Mina closed her eyes and wished as solemnly and hard as she could, calling out to the fates to give her the last bit of strength. She hoped that you could forgive her for all the things she had done to hurt you in the past, she hoped that you would still want to be with her after everything.
As the sparkler began to die out, Mina opened her eyes once more and gave your face another look, hoping that the tender look in your eyes would give her strength.
“What did you wish for?” you asked after sitting in silence for a few moments.
“I wished for you,” Mina replied, her heart beating slightly faster as she waited for your reaction.
“You have me, silly,” you said, trying to lighten the mood with a nudge of her shoulder.
“No, I mean,” Mina quickly turned her body to face you with determination.
“I wished for us to be together. I wished that we could mark the connection.”
It took you a few seconds to reply. Mina sat there, worried, as you carefully chose your words.
“You don’t want that, Mina.”
“I do.”
"It will only make you unhappy. Don’t you understand? It will tie you to me like the way I am tied to you now," you said, your voice rising with anger. "You don’t have to save me. I am fine like this."
“Y/N-” Mina started, but you cut her off.
“I don’t want you to spend the rest of your life resenting me.”
Mina grabbed onto your arm firmly when you tried to get up and leave, refusing to let you pull away after she had finally found you.
“Please listen to me, Y/N,” she begged, pulling you impossibly close.
“I’m so sorry for taking this long to realize that I love you. I put my career and ego before you, and that is something I will regret forever if I lose you. I tried so hard to be someone I wasn’t, I tried so hard to maintain this image, but they mean nothing to me if I end up without you for the rest of my life. I tried so hard to stop myself from loving you, but every time I sleep in someone else’s bed, I can only think about how much I hurt you.”
You sat still, your hands limp at your sides, not hugging her back.
“There is nothing I am more sure of than you,” Mina continued, letting a few tears escape her eyes.
“I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you if you let me.”
You couldn’t help but wrap your arms around her shaking frame in comfort. No matter how hard you tried to resist her, you would always fall back into her. Like a moth drawn to a flame, she had the power to illuminate everything in your path, but she also had the power to burn everything down, including you.
You were sure you would love her for as long as you lived, but would she be able to do the same?
But you wished for her too, didn’t you?
“Okay,” you said, giving in to your heart.
“Okay?” Mina pulled back, afraid that her mind was playing tricks on her.
Nodding, you leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Yes, okay.”
Mina reached into her back pocket for the red piece of thread that the old woman had given her earlier that day. She finally understood what to do with it.
She winced when she pulled up your sleeves to reveal your numbered tattoo. Like what she had seen happen to Karina years ago, the tattoo was now cutting deep into your bone, forever unable to heal as the numbers repeatedly carved your demise.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered in regret, before planting a kiss on your palm. “This must’ve been painful.”
You cupped her angelic face with your other hand and gave her a reassuring smile of forgiveness. 
Taking a deep breath, Mina tied the thin red string around your wrist and waited. At first, nothing happened, until you felt a searing pain. It was more intense than any pain your tattoo had brought to you previously, and you doubled over in pain, clutching your arm. You could feel the wound of your tattoo close up, and new designs were carved into your skin. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Mina doing the same, cradling her arm in pain.
“Are you alright?” Mina panted as the pain finally stopped.
She noticed that you looked different. You’d always looked breathtakingly beautiful to her, but now, you seemed to emit a soft glow of color and warmth, like an angel.
Noticing that you were staring at your wrist in confusion, Mina leaned over to look, letting out a gasp as she did so.
The once black-bolded numbers on your wrist were replaced by small tendrils of color woven intricately together, like chrysanthemums of light. Your arm was now covered by bursting blooms of light, beautifully connected into small flames of fireworks. A red firework at the corner of your wrist had an extended red line that went around her wrists, like the one Mina had put on you.
Her tattoo had also changed once again; the once smooth splattered edges of the colors were now transformed into jagged edges of sparks, replacing the paint on the palette with small fireworks.
A sky full of fireworks in your hands.
She gently pressed her lips against yours, relishing in the softness of you, her heart soaring with joy and love. She would make things right, and you trusted her enough to do so. Things would never be easy, but she was sure that you were the one for her, in this life or the next.
“Please be careful with my heart.”
“I promise.”
And... that's it for Palette!
Thank you all for joining me on this rollercoaster of a story. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did 🥰
Let me know what your thoughts are on this alternative ending. (It took so long for me to write this; I hope I didn't disappoint 🥲) I decided to do more of Mina’s perspective in this chapter to better show her conflicting emotions. Also did more symbolisms in this one, so let me know if they get confusing!
I'm open to requests, so please don't hesitate to send me some of your ideas!
