Chaeyoung ran, and ran until she finally saw a small town. Since it was really late the only people on street were drunk people trying to get into their houses. 
                          
A loud noise caught Chaeyoung's attention. She looked into the direction the noise came from. She saw a girl who was forcefully threw away by a man from the bar. The man was tall and masculine. He was big and scary.
                          
The girl fell on the ground. -Fuck you, you asshole!- the girl yelled. She struggled to stand up. The girl punched that man. He grabbed his chin and massaged it. He smirked. 
                          
Chaeyoung recognized the girl. It was Mina. She ran towards her as fast as she could. Her legs hurt from running. She was so tired, but she didn't think about it. Mina was now important. 
                          
The man swing his hand and slapped Mina. Chaeyoung stopped few meters in front of them. She froze. That man just hit Mina. It's all Chaeyoung had in her mind. She started to move again. Faster, and faster as she saw the man lifting his hand again. 
                          
-Stop!- Chaeyoung yelled as she stopped in front of Mina. The man slapped Chaeyoung. She fell on the ground. The tiger looked at the man, and said. -Please leave her alone.- 
                          
The man scoffed. -You're lucky, but next time I will see you, you're dead.- he said, and went back inside. Chaeyoung quickly stood up. Her cheek was burning. It hurt so much, but she didn't care. 
                          
-Mina are you okay?- Chaeyoung quickly grabbed Mina and helped her stand up. 
                          
-Chaeyoung?- Mina looked at the younger girl, and blinked few times. -Of all people it's you!? Why did you came here? What do you want?! Just go away!- Mina pushed Chaeyoung away. -I don't want to see you! Go away!- 
                          
-Mina you're bleeding! Calm down let me take you home!- Chaeyoung started to approach Mina slowly. 
                          
-No! I-I don't want you! I don't want anything from you!- And like that Mina started to cry. She fell into Chaeyoung's arms. The little cub was never so confused in her life. Mina will never stop confusing Chaeyoung. One second she's cold then she's hot, and then she's cold again. 
                          
-What's wrong?- Chaeyoung said. 
                          
Mina pulled away. -You.- she said, and pointed at Chaeyoung.
                          
-M-Me?-
                          
-Yes you! You keep hurting me! Whenever I look at you my heart hurts, and I have that weird feeling! Why you have to do this to me?!- 
                          
Chaeyoung doesn't know what to say. She's beyond confused. -I'm sorry...- it's all Chaeyoung can say. She doesn't know what she's sorry for. But she somehow hurt Mina. She made her cry.
                          
-You don't even know what you're sorry for, don't you?- Mina said. Chaeyoung gulped. The older girl just scoffed. 
                          
Chaeyoung sighed. -Let's go home Mina.-Chaeyoung put her hand on Mina's waste, and Mina put her hand on Chaeyoung's shoulder. 

                          
LATER
                          
They finally arrived at the house. It took them about 3 hours to get back. Everyone was asleep on the couch. "They've must have fall asleep while waiting for us" Chaeyoung thought to herself. Mina was asleep as well. She was sleeping on Chaeyoung's back.
                          
Chaeyoung opened the door to the room. She put carefully Mina on the bed. She cleaned Mina's face from the blood, and changed her clothes to more comfortable ones. Chaeyoung then covered Mina with a blanket, and went to take a shower.
                          
While showering all she had in her mind was Mina. The way she got slapped by that man. What she said, and what she meant by saying Chaeyoung hurt her. The way she cried. All she had in her mind was Mina. Mina, Mina, Mina, Mina, and Mina. 
                          
After she finished showering she laid down besides Mina. She looked one last time at the sleeping beauty -Goodnight Mina.- she said, and fell asleep.
