Elf (11)

The Silent Boy

After the cheerleading tryout, Mina and Chaeyoung became close again. Chaeyoung was happy about it. Although, Mina would occasionally talk about Mark or the fact that Mark sometimes took Mina away from him, which made him feel jealous but at least Mina spent some time with him.

Right now, they were eating on the school rooftop as usual.

"Oh My God, Chaeng. I'm so nervous! They're going to announce the members of the cheerleading squad today after dismissal. I'm scared that I won't get accepted." Mina whimpered.

'You'll be accepted, Mina. I'm sure of it' Chaeyoung assured her.

"How can you be so sure?" Mina questioned.

'The whole crowd was amazed by your performance, Mina. You'll be accepted and if you don't, it's their loss' Chaeyoung answered.

'They just lost the best dancer ever' Chaeyoung added.

"Thank you, Chaeng. You don't mind waiting for me later, right?" Mina asked.

'Of course' Chaeyoung replied, while smiling at the same time, showing his dimples.

After dismissal, Mina quickly went to the bulletin board to look for her name. She scanned the names and finally found her name. After that, she quickly
ran to find Chaeyoung, who was waiting for her at the school's lobby and hugged him with a bone-crushing hug.

"I got accepted, Chaeng" Mina excitedly told Chaeyoung.

Chaeyoung could only smile. After that, they quickly got into Mina's limousine.

"I still can't believe it, Chaeng. I'm a member of the cheerleading squad now." Mina giggled.

'Told you, you will get accepted' Chaeyoung said.

"Yeah, haha. Can I spend the night at your place again?" Mina pleaded.

'I still don't understand why you like my house, but you're always welcomed, Mina' Chaeyoung answered while smiling.

"Yeay" Mina celebrated, while doing her little victory dance.

Chaeyoung just silently chuckled at Mina's antics.

After awhile, they arrived at Chaeyoung's rooftop house. Chaeyoung unlocked the door and they quickly got inside.

'You should order food first, I'll take a bath, while you order' Chaeyoung suggested.

"Yeah, I know, Chaeng, you go take a bath" Mina uttered.

Chaeyoung  then quickly took a bath. After that came Mina's turn. Chaeyoung heard the doorbell ringing, he quickly took the food from the driver and put it on the dining table. He heated his food in the Microwave then waited for his food.

After awhile, Mina came out of the bathroom with wet hair, she quickly plugged the hairdryer in and started drying her hair. On the other hand, the Microwave made a sound, and he quickly took the food out of the Microwave, put it on the table and waited for Mina.

After Mina was done drying her hair, they quickly digged into their food. Silence filled the whole house.

After they were done, Chaeyoung washed the dishes, while Mina tidied up her food package and threw them in the trash bin outside.

Chaeyoung quickly got into his room to draw on his sketchbook, while Mina got into Chaeyoung's room too, but to play video games on her phone, until they both got tired. Then, Chaeyoung slept on his own bed, while Mina slept on the mattress in Jihyo's room.

Morning came, and as usual they all did their morning routine until Mina's Limousine came and they got on their way to school. At school before class started, they chatted for awhile and then class proceeded as usual.

During breaktime, Chaeyoung and Mina were about to head to the rooftop, before they were stopped by a group of girls.

"Are you Myoui Mina?" the girl with bunny teeth asked.

"Umm, yes" Mina timidly answered.

"Well, you're part of the cheerleading squad now, we just want to offer you to eat together in the cafeteria" the girl with bangs offered.

"Sure" Mina happily accepted.

Chaeyoung looked down. He was about to go, when Mina held his hand.

"Where do you think you're going?" Mina whispered.

Chaeyoung shook his head, signalling he doesn't want to join.

Upon seeing Chaeyoung, the girl with bunny teeth was delighted. She had always been fond of a baby, and Chaeyoung looked exactly like a baby cub.

"You should join" the girl with bunny teeth insisted.

"C'mon cutie" the girl with bunny teeth dragged Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung got no choice but to follow along.

Chaeyoung ended up sitting between the girl with bunny teeth and Mina, beside Mina was a girl he didn't recognize, and beside the girl, there were three other girls, he didn't recognize and on the girl with bunny teeth's left side was the girl with bangs.

"Okay, I'll introduce us for you, I'm Nayeon, third year, beside me is Momo, third year too, beside you Mina, is Lisa, second year, beside her, Rosè, also second year, and then Jennie and Jisoo, third year." Nayeon introduced them for Mina.

"Well, hi everyone, my name is Myoui Mina, and this boy here is Son Chaeyoung. We're both first years." Mina introduced herself and Chaeyoung.

"Chaeyoung's really cute. I wish me and Jeongyeon could have a son like him in the future, hehe" Nayeon complimented, while pinching Chaeyoung's cheeks. Chaeyoung was flustered. Mina giggled. While, Rosé faked a puking face.

After a while, the Jocks arrived. From left to right, Yugyeom, Jeongyeon, Jinyoung, Mark, JB, Bambam, Youngjae, and Jackson. They quickly sat directly, opposite the girls and Chaeyoung. Upon seeing the Jocks, Chaeyoung stiffened. He grabbed his lunchbox and attempted to flee, before Nayeon grabbed his hand.

"Where are you going? Come sit here" Nayeon ordered.

Chaeyoung shook his head, while shaking from head to toe.

The Jocks, except for Jeongyeon, just watched in amusement.

"Sit here, and eat together, Chaeyoung" Nayeon bossed.

"Just let the boy go, babe" Jeongyeon attempted to help.

"But why?" Nayeon whined.

Mina held Chaeyoung's hand and soothed, "Just sit, Chaeyoung."

Mina wanted nothing more than to eat together with her crush. She wouldn't let this opportunity pass by.

"Yeah, just sit" Nayeon echoed.

Chaeyoung just sat in defeat, he looked to the ground, not daring to look at the Jocks. Nayeon side hugged Chaeyoung.

"You're so cute, hehe" Nayeon giggled.

"Babe, after we get married in the future, I want us to have a cute son like Chaeyoung" Nayeon cutely said to Jeongyeon.

Jeongyeon's face turned red.

"We're going to buy food for you girls" Jeongyeon announced then left.

Mina and the Jocks followed Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung was left alone with the the girls.

"So, what club are you joining?" Rosé asked Chaeyoung, attempting to be friendly.

Chaeyoung simply shook his head.

"You're not joining any clubs, why?" Nayeon asked.

'I don't really know which club to join' Chaeyoung answered. He answered, as usual by writing, and showed it to everyone.

"Uhmm, Why don't you speak?" Lisa asked, confused.

Chaeyoung wrote his answer and showed it to everyone, avoiding eye contact.

"It's okay, you're still cute" Nayeon answered and pinched Chaeyoung's cheek. Chaeyoung heaved a sigh, tired of Nayeon pinching his cheek.

Jisoo whispered to Jennie, "Nayeon acts like, she's close with Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung must feel so uncomfortable" And then they giggled.

"What are you guys saying?" Nayeon angrily squeaked.

"Nothing, Nayeon" Jennie answered, trying to hold in her laughter.

After awhile, Mina and the Jocks arrived with the food and they started digging in, except for Chaeyoung, who just looked to the ground.

"Why aren't you eating, Chaeyoung?" Nayeon asked, concerned.

"Oh, Chaeyoung doesn't feel comfortable, eating in front of other people, I forgot. Sorry guys, we'll head to the rooftop, maybe next time." Mina came to the rescue.

Then they headed to the rooftop together.

"Why would he feel uncomfortable,  eating in front of other people?" Nayeon asked, confused.

"It must be because you make him feel so uncomfortable, Nayeon" Jisoo savagely said.

The girls laughed.

"Yahh" Nayeon sulked.

The Jocks just focused on their food, pretending to be clueless.

Chapter 14: Mr. Son needs to be extra patient. Chaeyoung has gone through too much. I don't really blame Mina for not coming. How would she have known Jihyo passed away?

This needs a sequel. It really breaks my heart when Chaeyoung apologize for not being normal and Jihyo cries. Nothing hurts a parent knowing your child is being bullied and being unable to do anything. What Mr. Son did was cruel. It seems like he didn't care. He didn't reach out for the past 12 years and now he came out of nowhere to snatch Chaeyoung away. He should've continued to let Chaeyoung keep in touch with Sana as that's what's familiar to him. Although he's Chaeyoung's father, he never really played a role so now he gotta get to know him from the beginning. Jihyo means everything to Chaeyoung, Sana can never replace her but at least she's always been around
