#10 Invisible Duel

Wonwoo's POV:

"Who's that girl?" After what happened earlier, Sana shoved me out from the scene and took me to my room. She was furious, bewildered to meet Mina for the first time.

"She's my friend. I helped her and she became my responsibility now." I sighed out of frustration.

"Responsibility? Tell me, isn't your responsibility to listen to the words of your father? To follow our orders? To marry and take care of me?" The girl crossed her arms again, letting me drown in guilt that didn't work for me.

"To marry you and to take care of you is not a responsibility, it was a command."

As much as I want to say this to her, I can't. I must follow what I'm being told, or my dream would be crushed in an instant.

"Are you hearing me out?" She said, more like scolding me because I was obviously drowned by my own thoughts.

Slowly, I looked up to her. Her eyebrows furrowed as her arms crossed again. Whenever I look at her, unknowingly, I felt sorry. I don't know, maybe because I don't like her the way that she does to me. Since we've got arranged, I tried everything that I could to give her what she wants. I was always there for her. I gave her all of my time. But as time moves forward, I figured out that the time that I spent with her was bland, dull, and dry. I never felt anything in between. I never felt those sparks on her. Yet, finally, after all these years, the so called spark that I'm talking about suddenly popped in the scene. I felt magical and alive, except that I didn't felt it on Sana, it was on Mina.

"Wonwoo." She snapped me out once again and nodded.

"Y-yeah. I know." Frustrated, I combed my hair and leaned back on my soft chair. I chose to be silent, because I don't want to be a disappointment to my family after what I've done in the past.

"I came here for a reason. Unfortunately, I need to go to Japan again. I will be staying there for months for my new business project. After I've taken care of all my things there, I'm coming back here and we'll start with the preparations for our wedding." She sat on the edge of my bed, not far from me.

"While I'm gone, remember, keep your distance from that girl earlier." That girl? Is it Mina that she's pertaining to?

"Sana, she's my friend." I sighed.

"Just don't get too close, got it?" Once again, she stated.

"Okay." I nodded and then Jun went inside my room.

"Are you guys done?" He softly asked, and I knew he wasn't in the mood to enter in my room with a situation like this. It was pretty awkward I guess.

"Yes, what do you want?" Sana replied.

"Um, it's nearly lunchtime and I just want you to invite to eat together? If it's okay with you two." He smiled, a nervous smile. He was obviously intimidated by Sana.

"Yeah, we will." I answered immediately.

"Cool! I'll just tell Mina."

Mina's POV:

"What in the world?!" Momo screamed from my screen.

"Your imaginary boyfriend has a fiancée. Girl, that sucks." She added while her face showed total disappointment, as she frowns too much.

"You don't have to remind me that." I rolled my eyes as I laid flat on my bed. For about minutes, I was spacing out. The reason for it was quite unspecified, or shall I say, I hate thinking about what I'm thinking.

Yes I hate it. Literally. Obviously. Clearly. I hate the thought that my mind is full of that fake couple, knowing that my first ever crush slash imaginary boyfriend has a fiancée. I probably look so dumb in his eyes now. Most likely because I showed too much attention and admiration to him. Starting from the day I met him, I immediately said, "Yes, I like you sir, you're my type." indirectly, and it became crystal clear for him as well. I feel so stupid because I didn't even dare to ask if he's already taken or not. I was too straightforward. I was too greedy. Myoui Mina, you're such an embarrassment!

I groaned and hid behind the sheets. I undoubtedly want to tie myself here or put tape all over my door so that they won't see me anymore.

"Mina! You surprised me with that groan. I thought you abruptly became a dude or something." I harshly removed my blanket and snickered at my bestfriend.

"So what's your plan?" She asked but as a response, I stayed quiet.

"I don't know. But to tell you the truth, I'm not a women who crosses the line. Maybe as much as I like him, I should know my limits." Rolling to my side, I kept a gloomy face that bothered Momo.

"What you said was right, and that's what you need to do. But to be honest, I feel bad for you Nari. I thought you found the one. I just want you to be happy there because I know you can't feel it here." Her tone went down, comforting me.

"Me too Momo, I just want the best for me." I smiled, a bitter one.

"But hey! You don't know the future. What if you and Wonwoo are really destined for one another? What if they won't get married? You still have a tiny chance since he doesn't have any feelings for that Sana. Right?" She cheekily smiled which caused me to laugh.

"I know you're just making me feel good but you're actually giving me false hope Momo."

"Come on. You're supposed to be that positive Mina. I'm very sure, you're better than his emotionless finacée. You said that she's also a bad ass like you. Well, this is so exciting! So suspense! I wonder who'll win in the end."

"This is not a battle." I groaned again.

"Yeah, it may not be a battle, but I know, the both of you think that it is~" She clicked her tongue as she said that in a teasing way. She then pouted and closed her eyes, saying that's she's a icon who's spitting facts. But then, I realized that what she said was true. Sana literally said that she's not finish with me. I guess there's really a competition here. An ungoing competition that we didn't even notice until now.

I heard a knock on the door as I bid goodbye to Momo. I was hesitant but I want to get over with this.

"Jun the maggot, what are you doing here?" I crossed my arms and stared at him.

"You're invited for lunch. Along with the two."
