Mina POV

I quickly get in my room and lock the door. I can't trust Chaeyoung, who know he will barge in my room. I then go to the bathroom, brush my teeth and shower. I make it quick and search for the suitable clothes. Apparently, I get ready quick than I used. But, still I take more than 20 minute to get ready. As I satisfied with myself. Well, not like I'm going to impress anyone or whatever, I went to downstairs.

"Hey, ready to go?" He asked as I approach him.

"Where?" I asked.

"I don't know. Where do you want to go? The movies? The mall?" He asked me back.

"You're the one wants to hang out but you don't know where to go?" I said a bit irritative.

"Well, I just wants to hang out." He said shyly.

"Hmm, you didn't bring your car here." I said after long deep breathe.

"No. But I brought a motorcycle." He said looking at me showing her key and smirk to me.

"Motorcycle?" She asked shocked.

I peer outside and sure enough. There's a blue motorcycle parked in front of the house.

Chaeyoung's bike

"When did you get it?" I asked curious. I remember clearly he walked home with me.

"I walked back to get it. Plus, I had to brush my teeth." Chaeyoung flashes me a wide smile and his dimple.

Then, I notices his clothes also changes as well.

"Cool. I like motorcycles." I beam.

I quickly walk outside and look at the bike. Its really shinny and sleek in design. Maybe if was more daring, I would totally get one. Nahh, who I'm going to kidding. I'm too much wimp to even drive a car. I let Chaeyoung hop on it first before I start climbing on behind him. Wait, its too close. He hands me a helmet before starting the bike. I quickly put it on and steady myself on the bike by gripping the sides of the seat.

"Minari, you should hold onto me. Its unless, you want to snap your neck on the road or what?" He said with sighs. Again, he called me Minari. Awww.

I shake my head. "Its fine. I ride motorcycle like this." I said.

Chaeyoung backs the bike a bit and I nearly topple over. I can hear him chuckle. I know he do it by deliberately. But, sure he won again.

"Ehem, maybe I will hold onto your shirt." I take some fabric from the sides of his shirt and clench them under my fist.

I just hope this fabric is high quality or I'm breaking my skull today. But then, Chaeyoung grabs my fist and yanks me forward. My chest makes contact with his back. He wraps my arm around his waist.

"You should hold onto me like this." He said look at me in the side mirror.

"Hmm, okay." I said.

I straightening my back and I leave some distance between me and him. I just hope and pray he didn't hear or feel the hammering in my chest. We peel off onto the road.

"We should go to the mall." I said to him.

Hmm, malls are casual rights? Friend usually hang out at malls. Its just like I'm hang out with friend right? Thump. Thump. Thump. Stop it! I wish my heart would stop hammering my chest. Its not like I don't usual hang out alone with Chaeyoung. Why this time its feel different? Stop it Mina.

"How about we watch a movies?" Chaeyoung suggest. Going to the movies is too weird with just the two of us.

"Bowling!" I nervously word vomit that I didn't know I shout a bit.

"Woah. Excited much? To the bowl we go!" Chaeyoung drives us to the bowl alley, I'm stay quiet. What the heck Mina? You don't even bowl.

We arrive and rent out a lane with two pairs of bowling shoes. Chaeyoung picks out a pretty heavy bowling ball while I pick the lightest one. I'm pretty sure the one I picked is meant for the little kids. Before we get to our lane, I realise that my friends are occupying the other one beside our. Shoot! I'm nervous for no reason. What should I do? Should I hide? But where? Shoot! I'm casually hanging out with Chaeyoung. Just the two of us! Again, shoot! I'm such a horrible friend.

"Oh hey!" Chaeyoung jogs up to them.

Damn! Why he been so friendly? They greet him and Tzuyu the most excited and happy. She's immediately starts the conversation.

"Where are your friends?" She asked Chaeyoung.

"Oh, they are not here. Actually, I'm here with Mi—. Eh?" He turns around and doesn't see me.

"Huh?" Sana looks around, confused.

I'm ducking behind a rack of bowling balls. I hunched over, ready to waddle outside and return my bowling shoes when I feel a tug on my shirt collar. I turn to see Jihyo smirk at me.

"What are you doing? And what are you doing here?" Jihyo asked me but didn't let go my shirt.

"Fancy meeting you guys here!" I pop out my head from behind the rack. I swear I'm smiling like an idiot.

"I ran into Chaeyoung outside, in the parking lot." I said sounding totally like a dork.

"You walked all the way over here?" Sana asked sounds shocked and concern.

I swear she's an innocent but cover it by her confident and flirting. Obviously I'm lying but she's totally buying it.

"Haha, gotta work on my calves." I said laugh nervously.

"Mind teaching me how to bowl? Its my first time." Tzuyu pleads, batting her eyes to Chaeyoung.

Its not! She's the most ace between us and I'm the worst. Chaeyoung smile to her and look around.

"Hmm, sure." Chaeyoung agrees and the two of them go to the lane Chaeyoung and I rent.

I retreat with Jihyo and Sana to their lane and we start our own games. Chaeyoung places his right hand on Tzuyu, guiding her arms swing. His left hand is on her left shoulder, his arm casually hanging down and across her back. Tzuyu looks so happy, but my chest feel tight. Its feel like someone tight it up and choke it up. My head is stuck upside down in a bowl of water, I can't breathe and my head feels light from the blood rushing to it. Why am I like this?

"Guys, I'm sorry. I think I caught a cold. I will head home first. See ya Monday." I wearily say, starting to untie the bowling shoes and put sneakers back on.

"Aww, you won't stay for a bit longer? We about to go eat after this." Sana whimpers.

"I don't think so. I should rest before it gets worse. I will be fine once I sleep it off." I lied again.

"Alright then. See you in Monday." Jihyo said after me while I start to walk off.

After returning the shoes, I start walking toward the library. I honestly didn't have energy and feel drained. So, a fifty minute walk back to my house doesn't sound amusing. I text my dad to pick me up after work. I hopefully they won't catch me hiding out in the library, even though I knew and doubt they will ever go here. My friend basically hate books, especially Tzuyu. So, I feel I'm good here.

After finding a table, I settled down with the book I picked on a whim. I'm trying to read but my mind is blanking. And I'm not processing any word. After 10 minutes, I still can't pass the first sentences. And its takes me a while before I realise its because I'm holding the book upside down. No wonder the librarian has giving me a dirty looks. I forget to silence my phone and I get call from Chaeyoung. The librarian not wasting anytime to give me another dirty look. I quickly silent my phone and ignore Chaeyoung call. I need my alone time. My phone vibrate on the table making another sound and making another dirty look from librarian. I look at my phone, it Chaeyoung text message and with slight hesitation I look at it.

Chaeyoung : where did you go?

Me : home.

Chaeyoung : are you walking? Wait for me. I will take you home.

Me : no thanks. Already home.

Chaeyoung : if you that fast, you should be in Olympics team Mina.

Me : I got a ride. Stop worrying.

Chaeyoung : why did you leave?

Me : I didn't feel good. Beside, I don't want to hang out. You the one forced me. Just have fun with Tzuyu.

Chaeyoung : does this have to do with me ditching you? I was only trying to help your friend learn to bowl.

Mina : No. Why would you think so? I'm glad you're hanging out with her. You should do that everyday instead of bothering me. In fact, you should might as well date her. I will be the most happiest person for you guys. I'm going to sleep. Don't wake me up and don't come to my houses.

I cross my arm across the table and bury my face into it. My heart is throbbing and I don't know why. I feel tears tickle the back of my eyes but I suck it in. I hate the hammers in my chest. I don't know when I fall asleep as my dad found me asleep and tells me the librarian thought I was in troubled, run-away teen. Maybe, she's right. I'm in trouble.

- wow, Tzuyu is too beautiful in her melody project. Gosh, she's a goddess. Tzuyu and Bang Chan also sounds good. -
