What the heart wants

Chapter 2

Nayeon wonders why Chaeyoung thinks she'll be able to help her. It's not like Chaeyoung doesn't know about Mina, they practically live in each other's pockets.

"We know each other's secrets but Unnie you're so observant. Even without realizing you notice things about people."

Nayeon scoffs and shakes her head. "You know everything about her. I don't spend a lot of time with her, honestly you've come to the wrong person Chaeyoungah."

"What's her favorite colour?"

"Everyone knows the answer to that."

"Yellow. Does anyone know why she likes it?"

"Duh."

Chaeyoung rolls her eyes. Even she doesn't know why Mina likes yellow so much. Once when she asked her, she said it makes her happy.

"Really? Tzuyu come here!"

Tzuyu comes but because they're in the studio and she's dancing around with Momo and Jihyo they come with her as well to see what the fuss is about.

"Why does Mina like yellow?"

Tzuyu taps a finger to her chin. "Because she likes baby chicks. "

Momo raises her hand excitedly. "She likes oranges that's why."

Chaeyoung adores Momo but that girl has her blonde moments all the time. "Oranges are orange Momo."

Jihyo thinks for a while, "I think her childhood room was painted yellow."

Nayeon has had enough, this is an easy answer. How did they get it wrong? Maybe Chaeyoung has a point, some people are not observant at all.

"I just know she likes yellow because it make her happy." Chaeyoung says disappointedly, "but I don't know why it makes her happy."

"Because it reminds her of summer and sunshine." Nayeon's voice is low but confident. She faintly recalls when they shot for a music video in a sunflower field and Mina telling Chaeyoung she's happy there because it's warm and sunny and the yellow makes her happy.

Jihyo wants to confirm her answer so she calls Mina. Mina walks to the group wondering why they are not rehearsing.

"Why do you like yellow?" Momo impatiently asks.

Mina looks taken aback at the random question. Her friends can be really strange sometimes. "Its the colour of summer and sunshine. "

She walks away because the director is calling her for her shot.

Four pair of eyes stare at Nayeon with reverence and accusation, like she's got some superpower she's been hiding from them.

Nayeon knows there's just no backing away from Chaeyoung's plan now. She has pushed herself knee deep into the pit.

It's raining again later that night. Everyone is packing their bags but Nayeon is watching the window again. She's not a fan of rainy weather but the raging storm outside suits the one in her heart.

Tomorrow they'd be away from this, to a place that's full of sunshine and sound of ocean. Their management is gifting them a ten day holiday trip to Hawaii because they're done shooting for their music video and all they need to do is wait for its release. The promotion and performance circus will begin after the release and they are not going to have any time to rest.

The distant sound of rumbling shakes her out of her reverie. The coffee in her hand is cold. She doesn't really care because the bitter taste of coffee puts her off sometimes. But Dahyun made coffee for everyone and she has a hard time saying no to people. If she knew how to say no, she wouldn't be in this mess now.

She walks to the kitchen to empty the mug into the sink. Chaeyoung is making dinner with Mina. Nayeon thinks they already look like a married couple.

She looks around to make sure Dahyun is nowhere around and washes the mug.

"Unnie, have you packed? You know how mad Jihyo gets because you're unorganized?" Chaeyoung waves a knife at her playfully.

Nayeon shrugs. "What are you making ?"

"Kimchi fried rice."

"Good luck. Try not to burn the kitchen down."

Chaeyoung sticks her tongue out at her. "It's not my fault Jihyo put Jeongyeon and I together on dinner duty. Mina is here, so don't worry. "

She pulls Mina to her side affectionately and gets a warm smile in return.

Nayeon thinks Chaeyoung really shouldn't have any difficulty in getting her girl. It's awkward standing in the kitchen feeling like a third wheel so she goes to leave her mug in the cabinet and leave the lovebirds alone.

A hand softly tugs on her shirt and she stops. Mina points to the stove and says, "I made some hot chocolate. You can have some."

Nayeon looks at the pan. It's enough for two people and it looks so delicious her stomach lets out a low growl.

Chaeyoung laughs and says, "I'll pretend I didn't hear the animal in your tummy."

Chaeyoung finds Nayeon really cute when the tip of her ears ting red, thanks Mina for the hot chocolate and scurries away from the kitchen with the mug in her hand.

"Unnie is so adorable when she gets embarrassed." Chaeyoung stirs the pan absentmindedly, "one of the reason why Jeongyeon loves her I guess."

Seeing she isn't getting any response, she looks to her left. Mina is fully concentrating on the chicken being cooked to perfection. And Chaeyoung thinks this is even more adorable.
