Chapter 14 (1/1)

“Unnie! Why are you eating my sandwich?” Chaerin complained after realizing Bom took her food.“What? you’re not touching it, besides, you’re just watching those two like a hawk and I feel bad for the food, such a waste.” She said as if it was about to be expired soon.The 3 girls was eating in the canteen, Bom, Minzy and CL. The group was preparing for their comeback, and they’ve been working pretty hard in the studio. After the party, everything was pretty much back to normal-Dara and CL are friends again,  they’re busy working on the album,  bom’s stealing her food, minzy’s busy texting, GD and Dara are back together and CL is back to being the sad, lonely leader that she is, Of course there’s only one reason she’s like that.The person she’s madly in love with is in love with someone else, and right now they’re right in front of her, well not literally right in front of her, but two tables away from them, eating like two love birds whose not even eating, they’re just there being all lovey dovey, sweet and and..happy.“You know, you’re not helping yourself if you keep on doing that.” Bom said.“Doing what? i’m not doing anything.” CL replied“Well, of course you’re not! You’re just sulking there watching them and torturing yourself.”CL sighed. “So what do you suggest? I’m doing this to make myself immune you know.”Bom was thinking to herself, she does agree that that would help too, then suddenly she had a bright idea.“Well...if you look at it that way, but I have other suggestions in mind which may help.” She said while smiling and raising her eyebrows.“Really? What?” “You need to find a new guy!” She exclaimed.“What? I don’t think that’s a good idea...”“Of course it is! You need to refocus your thoughts, and I just happen to know some pretty cool guys whose very much available.”CL considered her unnie’s suggestion for a second.“No.”“And why is that?”“Because I don’t wanna use some poor guy to help me forget.”Bom gasp, quite exaggeratingly.“Well its not called “using him”, you’re just gonna meet other people, and who knows, maybe you’ll find ‘the one’.”“And besides, do you wanna continue being sad and single? Look at Minzy, even our maknae has a love life.” Bom added in a low voice and pointed to minzy.“I can hear you.” minzy said without looking up from her phone. All of a sudden, CL just realized that Minzy heard everything they said.“Uhm...minji, did you hear everything else we were talking about?” CL asked.“Yup.” She replied. “Even the part about..”“About you being madly in love with GD and you’re trying to forget him but you can’t?”Minzy saidNow it was CL’s turn to gasp. Somehow it scares her that her girls know what she’s going through, They can be quite nosy sometimes.“I’ve known for quite some time unnie.”Minzy added.CL gave Bom a ‘you told her look’.“No, I’ve noticed it even in our trainee days.”“Told yah.” Bom chimed in.CL sighed. “So who else knows?”“Probably everyone except jiyong oppa.” Minzy said. “And honestly, I think Bom unnie is right, you do need a new man.”   The girls were back to the studio, each member will record their part while the others chat on and wait. Of course, they were with Teddy oppa, CL’s supposedly ‘ideal man’ when asked in interviews. The truth was, she does like him, but only in an admiring kinda way,she looks up to him like a father-figure, but nonetheless, she still blush every now and then when she gets teased about it, especially when Teddy does the teasing.“So, you up for it?” Bom said while they were on Teddy oppa’s couch, waiting for their turn while Dara was doing her recording.“What?” CL replied.“The blind date! I have just the right guys for you!” Bom said.“Not here unnie!” “What? Chaerin’s going on a blind date?” Teddy asked,  turned around from his chair.“NO!” CL replied way too loudly.“I’m quite disappointed with you chae, I thought I was the only man in your life.” Teddy teased and pretended to be hurt.CL of course denied and denied that they didn’t realize someone else entered the room.

“Whose going on a blind date?” “Oh,its CL unnie Jiyong oppa.” Minzy replied cause no one else did.“Really?”  He said, quite amused. “Ahuh.” Bom replied. “No! I told you guys I’m not going!” CL was really annoyed now.Everyone else was quite. “Yeah,  blind date is not really her thing.” Jiyong said matter-of-factly not to CL, but to everyone else in the room but her.“What do you mean oppa?” CL asked curiously.“Well...I don’t think you’re the type who’ll do that kind of thing.” GD said“That thing?” CL said“You know what I mean,  You don’t do stuff like that. You’re too predictable...” GD said.OOPS!wrong answer GD.The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, even Teddy noticed it, who is suppose to be instructing Dara whose still recording her song!“Well okey  people get back to work!” Teddy said. “You know what Bom unnie, I change my mind. I’m going on a blind date.” CL declared, and just then Dara step out of the recording booth, and now it was CL’s turn to record. “What’s up with the faces?” Dara asked. Everyone else was a bit taken aback. It was quite intense there for a while.“Baby,you  missed me already?” She added and walked to GD and gave him a hug.
