It was 6:59 now and Chaeyoung stood up to go back home. Just then the door opened and in walked a girl wearing a mask and a hat. Chaeyoung couldn't see their face but recognised her to be Ketchup. Why? Because she was wearing the necklace that Chaeyoung had given her. Chaeyoung then called her to the table and told her to sit. When she came closer Chaeyoung had a sense of familiarity but didn't know-how. Then ketchup sat in front of Chaeyoung and started talking off her mask and her hat and said.
"How have you been Chaengie?"
Chaeyoung stood there frozen. She couldn't believe that Mina was here in front of her even when she thought she would be waiting for her at place Y. The reality kicked in. She finally understood that Mina was in fact Ketchup. She finally found her words.
"M-Mi-Mina? You a-are Ketchup?"
"Yes Chanegie. I am the one. It's me that you have been talking to all this time. I know I did you wrong by not telling you the truth but I couldn't. I can't let someone know that I, Mina, is playing that too with a fan."
"It's ok Mina. But how? Like do you actually like me or are you just playing around?"
"What do you think Chaengie? Why would I be here in front of you? I don't just like you, Chaeng. I love you. I have loved you from the day we started talking."
"Me too Mina. I just didn't know that my first love and my true love were the same person."
As they talked the started to become more open and confident. Chaeyoung texted her friends that Ketchup was here and Mina texted her friends that she meet Chaengie and not just anywhere but where they were meant to meet. Place X. Both parties friends were extremely happy for them. 1 because they met and 2 because Jeonju....and 2 yeon and DahMo gets to meet again. Chaeyoung and Mina kept on talking even when their food arrived.
"So you have been choosing Mina over Ketchup. So why did you show up here today huh Chaengie?" Mina asked.
"Its cause I always loved you but I also loved you. I mean I always chose Ketchup but I couldn't tell. lol"
"Ok let's eat."
"Ok. Here you want to try some?" Chaeyoung asked.
"Yea sure."
"Here." then chaeyoung fed Mina and Mina did the same for Chaeyoung. After they finished eating they talked some more.
"Why were you late though Minari?"
"Oh its cause originally I planned to go to Place Y. It's because you always choose Mina over Ketchup so I went there. I was already 20 minutes into the ride when I got this uneasy feeling. You know what I mean right?"
"Ya I know. Continue." Chaeyoung said.
"Then I told the driver to to back to this place and here I am. To be honest I would have arrived earlier but there was so much traffic. At one point I even decided to go on foot but it slowly opened."
"OMG Minari. I couldn't imagine you going there. Seriously though. I guess we are meant to be after all." Chaeyoung said smirking.
"Ok Ok now lets get the bill and let's go."
Chaeyoung then called the waitress and asked for the bill. Once she paid the bill and left a huge tip for her they went back in Chaeyoung's car as Mina had told the manager that she will be going on her own with her friends. The manager surprisingly agreed. Once they were in the car they started chatting again.
"So all the members knew about us?" Chaeyoung asked.
"Yes Chaengie."
"Oh so that's why they were teasing me? And the time Momo eonnie was bitten by a bug, it was actually you?"
"Yes CHAENGIE. LOL 😂"
"Omg I still can't believe that I have been talking about you to you. ahhhh this is embarrassing." Chaeyoung said as she hid her face with her hand which Mina found very cute.
"It's ok Chae. Dont worry. Plus I got to know what you actually think of me."
"Ok."
"By the way when are we going to Jeonju. You know the five friends I was talking about was my members."
"OMG right. I forgot. When are you free? And wait.....we are going with TWICE? omg My friends will be so happy."
"Lol I know two of my friends will."
"Who? Nayeon eonnie and momo eonnie?"
"YUP."
"OMG I SHIP THEM."
"Me too. By the way I think we will be free after tomorrow. So you wanna go then?"
"OMG yes. I would love that. By the way where should I drop you?"
"At our dorm Chaengie."
"Oh ok. I thought you wouldn't be comfortable." Chaeyoung said.
"Chaeyoung ssi....Now you know everything about me so why would I be? Anyways it that. Thank you so much for today and for the gifts and for this necklace. I love it."
"You're welcome. Anyways get ready for Jeonju and tell everyone about it."
"Ok. Text me when you reach home." They then hugged each other for the first time. They felt home. It was like a safe haven for Mina. When they seperated Mina started walking back to her dorm when Chaeyoung called her.
"Minari!!"
"Huh?"
"Saranghae" Mina just smiled and said me too. Then they waved at each other and went their seperate ways.
Mina's PoV
"Omg I think I did a good job changing my destination. Otherwise I would have lost her. This is like the best decision I have made. Eonnies must be waiting for me. I should be prepared." Mina thought to herself. As soon as Mina entered everyone ran to her to hug her. She was prepared for the questions but not this.
"Eonnies. Please stop. I cant breathe."
Then they stopped. They took her to the living room and asked her to explain everything. Mina sat one the couch and explained everything to her eonnies. How she was 20 minutes away and how she got the feeling. How she was in traffic and thought about walking. How she met her and how Chaeyoung reacted. At the end she told them that they will be going to Jeonju day after tomorrow. That's when everyone shouted with joy. They then started planning and everything.
Mina then recieved a text from Chaeyoung which says that she has reached home and Mina should take rest. They will talk tomorrow. Mina just replied with "Ok. Saranghae ❤️" then turned off her phone. She then talked to her eonnies some more planning everything then finally they decidec to sleep.
Chaeyoung's PoV
She couldn't believe that it was Mina. She was just thinking about their interactions when they reached her apartment. She then went on the elevator and went straight to the pent house. When she finally arrived she was greeted by Jeongyeon and Dahyun. They asked how the date was and how good looking ketchup was. Chaeyoung then said "Mina came."
Jeongyeon and Dahuyn both thought that Chaeyoung had gone to place X to meet Ketchup but they were sad to know that she changed her mind and went to Mina.
"Why did you go to Place Y. Now what will happen to Ketchup?" Jeongyeon said concerned.
"Bro I never went to place Y. I went to Place X to meet Ketchup and Mina came."
"Oh so Mina is Ketchup.....WAIT WHATTTTTT?????? WHAT THE ACTUAL F???? WAIT MINA IS KETCHUP?" Dahyun shouted as reality hit her.
"Omg yesssss. I was shocked too."
Then Chaeyoung proceded to tell everything about their interaction. She then informed them about Jeonju which was day after tomorrow. After that they went to sleep. Before sleeping Chaeyoung texted Mina telling her that she reached home. They must be tired so Mina should sleep. Mina then texted back. Chaeyoung read the text and closed her phone. Then she drifted off to dream land.
