赤い糸 - Red String of Fate

Chapter 25 - It's not totally wrong tho

[ Room 230 ]

Jeongyeon put down her bag and leaned on the desk. "You didn't hang out with her today?"

"Who?" Sana titled her head.

"Tzuyu"

"Umm... things are like that," Sana looked away.

Jeongyeon chuckled, "You two look like a couple having a fight. Bickering couples, hahah"

"..." Sana's lips curved into a faint smile. "Do we really look like we're dating?"

"Hm. Yeah?"

"Tzuyu and I are just friends." She laughed lightly, then teased, "What, are you jealous?"

Jeongyeon straightened, trying to hide her fluster. "No, I'm not jealous" She cleared her throat, then asked, "But... does Tzuyu feel the same way?"

Why does Jeongyeon keep asking about Tzuyu?

"It looks like that," Sana muttered.

"Then make sure"

"Huh? How?"

"Why don't you ask her directly?" Jeongyeon pressed, being uncharacteristically straightforward.

"She's a sensitive person, better not."

Jeongyeon crossed her arms. "Tss, you seem even more sensitive, you can't ask what should be asked"

"..."

"Has she ever dated someone before?" Jeongyeon asked suddenly.

Sana blinked. "Tzuyu's always been popular with boys, lots have confessed to her, but... she was never interested."

"Ohh" Jeongyeon's lips curved into a smile, as if that bit of information told her something.

Sana's curiosity—and jealousy—spiked. "Why do you keep asking about Tzuyu?! Do you like her or something? Should I introduce you? Want me to play cupid?"

"Yes"

Sana's jaw dropped.

Jeongyeon grinned at her reaction.

"Yahhh!" Sana stomped her foot, cheeks puffing. "I'm your soulmate!" 

"ㅋㅋㅋ, I'm kidding" Jeongyeon laughed, then leaned closer, lowering her voice into a whisper.

"Introduce me to her instead"

Sana froze. Her face turned red as she tried to back away from the sudden closeness.

Since when is Jeongyeon this bold and daring?
W-what's wrong with her today!?

"O-okay, I'll... I'll ask her tomorrow! I-I need to shower first!" Sana panicked, grabbing her towel and pajamas before bolting toward the bathroom.

Left behind, Jeongyeon blinked, realizing just how bold she'd been. It hadn't been planned at all—her words and actions just slipped out naturally.

She laughed at herself, rubbing her burning cheeks.

Tss, It's not totally wrong tho, Because..., We are soulmates
