When We Collide ✅

Chapter 17: Recklessness

"C-chaeyoung."

Mina stuttered, but she did used her real voice. Her real soothing voice.

Chaeyoung had stepped back, and Mina was more than confuse. Because she just stared at her like she saw a ghost.

It made her very anxious. Did she said it wrong? All she did was utter the name, right? What could be wrong about that?

"Are you okay my lady?" Mina finally asked returning it into her deeper voice, having a slight fear of something she couldn't really sense.

She approached Chaeyoung and held her arms.

"Your voice."

"My voice? What's wrong?"

"Your voice- it sounds like heaven."

Mina letten go of the latter as she tried to cover her face by looking away. It was funny for someone to tell her that her voice sounds like heaven, but she couldn't utter a laugh. She's way to flustered to do so.

Chaeyoung held her hands, slightly gripped on it.

"Say it again Mina, use your real voice. please.." the latter whined like a kid, wanting to hear it at least one more time.

Mina breathes in.

"Chaeyoung.."

This time Mina didn't stutter. This time she felt a little more confident.

And this time, the princess didn't look scared anymore.

Instead, she smiled at her. It's felt like music to her ears.

The only female voices Chaeyoung have heard from her entire life was her nanny's, Dahyun's the girl servers and Sana. She didn't even heard her mother's voice. But somehow Mina's voice is different, it brings this somewhat comfort to her.

And that's when Chaeyoung made up her mind.

"I want you to use your real voice when you're with me."

"But-"

Before Mina could even protest Chaeyoung cutted her off.

"No buts, use your real voice when you're talking to me." Chaeyoung said with sureness from her tone.

"Or else.. don't even bother talking to me again." She added, more like threatened.

Mina just nodded because she can't do anything anymore, she's the princess and it's her duty to protect her and follow the princess's orders, no matter what.

She wouldn't want to get kicked out, does she?

"Come on, let's talk." Chaeyoung said and grabbed Mina by the wrist.

"Wait, why?"

"God! your voice is addicting, i just want to hear more of it." Chaeyoung said as she dragged Mina inside her room.

"So what are we going to talk about?" Mina asked and still acting a bit shy because everytime she spoke the latter is paying full attention to her. And she doesn't want that kind of attention.

"Have you decided?" Chaeyoung asked and Mina knows exactly what's the latter is talking about.

"I-it's just been a day my lady.. i can't decide that fast." Mina explained and Chaeyoung sat on her bed and patted on it, offering the spot for Mina to sit on, Mina obliged, she did sat beside her.

"Can i ask? How do you feel about me?" Chaeyoung asked a simple question, yet Mina is struggling to answer her.

She can't tell the princess her real feelings, she'll only get hurt.. she's just here to steal the flower.
