I'll Protect You, Always

Chapter 29

Mina's POV

When we entered our classroom, i overheard....

"Tzuyu-ah, you're just trying to hide your hurt feelings inside you and i don't want to see you being in this state. I'm sure everyone would not want to see you like this once they knew what was your answer..." Sana said with sadness and hurt.

"I know that, noona but i'm just trying to make myself convince that she's not the right girl and making myself give up on her." Tzuyu said, the brothers who were standing in front me went to interrupt the 2 of them. 

"Wow! You 2 come here to flirt, huh! Don't want to flirt in front of us, is it~?" Dahyun said teasingly and smirking.

"Yeah! Can't you see that we're trying to have our sweet time alone and you all interrupt us, hmm~?" Sana said jokingly

"Oops! We're sorry~!" Dahyun said back jokingly and Tzuyu just walked back to his seat, we all followed behind and went to sit at our respective seats.

"Are you 2 going to on a date after school?" Chae asked

"Maybe, who knows. Right, Tzu-ah?" Sana said

"Ooo~ You even have a nickname for our little Yoda here~" Dahyun said teasingly

"Yeah, is there anything wrong with that?" Sana said, acting dumb that she doesn't know what's wrong with calling Tzuyu that. 

"Nothing's wrong, of course~" Dahyun said teasingly again

"Tzu-ah, want to go on a date later after school?" Sana asked

"Yeah, sure." Tzuyu replied after awhile, probably took time to think whether he should go or not

Sana went 'Yay!' which makes Dahyun and Chae chuckled at her reaction softly while Tzuyu, i don't know, probably just staying quiet.

Tzuyu's POV

After school, i went on a date with Sana-noona. We went to play games at the arcade first and then shopped around. Lastly, we went to have our dinner together at a restaurant before parting our ways towards our respective dorms.

To be honest, i had fun hanging out with Sana-noona because she makes me felt so comfortable and we are always teasing one another so it's quite fun with her!

"So how was your date?" Yujin asked me once he saw me walking into the living room.

"Shouldn't you ask me that tomorrow?" I asked back with another question instead of answering Yujin's question.

"You sure want to make Mina-noona feel jealous, uh!" Yujin said jokingly with a chuckled

"Oh! You're back, Tzuyu!" Chae-hyung said when he walked into the living room from his room and saw me. Dahyung and Jeong-hyung followed behind and welcomed me back and they asked the same question as Yujin.

"It was fun being with Sana-noona. She's fun to hang out with." I answered to the question and they smirked, probably getting a wrong idea despite knowing that i still have feelings for Mina-noona. 

"Then how about Mina-noona?" Dahyung asked, raising one of his eyebrows up with a smirk.

"I don't know." I said and shrugged my shoulders.

"What do you mean you don't know? Will Mina-noona get jealous?" Chae-hyung asked

"Well, i don't know about that. Probably not since she doesn't have feelings for me in the first place." I said and everyone seemed to not know what to say anymore so i just walked towards my room to change into my home clothes. 

----------------

"Tzuyu-ah, how's your date with Sana yesterday?" Momo-noona asked me from her seat. We are now in the classroom with our Japanese friends. Jeong-hyung, as usual, went to his classroom along with Nayeon-noona as the 2 of them are always waiting for each other at the school gate.

"Tzuyu said it was fun to hang out with Sana-noona!" Yujin said enthusiastically and Sana-noona looked down

"Yeah! He really said that!" Dahyung added on with excitement 

"Yeah yeah. Sana-noona is really someone i can hang out with whenever i want to have some fun with someone and she suits the role." I said

"Wow! I didn't expect that Tzuyu will say such thing about Sana! You 2 must be really dating, right?!" Momo-noona said, amazed by what i said. 

Sana-noona looked up and we said in unison, "No, we are not!".

"But you 2 really looked like a couple, man!" -Dahyung

"Yeah! I agree! So stop trying to deny that you are really a couple!" -Yujin

"Come on, you guys. The both of them already said that they are not so stop saying that they are." Mina-noona spoke out of nowhere and we all looked at her.

"Oh~? By any chance, Mina-noona, are you jealous?" Chae-hyung asked teasingly

"No, i'm not. Why would i?" Mina-noona said coldly

"Woah! When did you start talking to us like that? You sound so cold and emotionless!" Momo-noona said, surprised by the way Mina-noona speaks.

"How should i know? I don't even know how i talk like this." Mina-noona said in the same tone.

"Or did you get influence by someone as he always talk to you like that?" Dahyung asked, raising one of his eyebrows while looking at Mina-noona

"I don't know, maybe." Mina-noona said while shrugging her shoulders. I stood up from my seat and walked out of the classroom, not telling them where i'm going.

I walked towards the rooftop to relax and get everything out of my mind so i could focus on the boring but yet important lessons later.

-----------------

Now is break-time and i decided to stay in the classroom as i have no mood to eat now but Jeong-hyung came to our classroom and dragged all of us with him to the canteen. No choice but i have to go along with it...

I sat down beside Chae-hyung and on the other side is Sana-noona, who insisted to sit with me when Dahyung wanted to sit beside me. Dahyung just gave in and let Sana-noona sit beside me and Dahyung sit beside Sana-noona.

"So, i heard that Sana and Tzuyu went on a date. Is that true?" Nayeon-noona said like we are in a court for judgement or something and Sana-noona and i just nod our heads.

"But they're not dating, right?" Jihyo-noona said like she knows that we are not together ever since Sana-noona's confession and we also nod our heads.

"That means...Tzuyu reject you, is it, Sana-ah?" Jeong-hyung asked

"I don't know, maybe." Sana-noona said, shrugging her shoulders and eating her food while the others became confused whether i accepted or rejected Sana-noona's confession.

"Just spill out the tea. It will be good if we all know, right?" Mina-noona said monotonously.

"No, it's not good. Someone here will definitely feel guilty after knowing Tzu's answer." Sana-noona said and ate her food and the others seemed to get the doubt that i rejected her confession.

On the other hand, Mina-noona doesn't seem to bother to think about my answer to Sana-noona's confession which makes me think why did she became like this...how did she became like this...?
