The group was taken aback by Minhe's sudden outburst. Their initial response was a collective "no," which left her visibly shocked.
However, Nellas' reassuring smile eased her worries. "It's okay, Minhe. You don't have to join us," he said gently.
Minhe's heart sank at his beautiful smile. 'Aaaaah~ That killer smile of his... No..., I can't be swayed by his smile. I must go with him.' She wanted to be near Nell, to spend every possible moment with him.
Yujin placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, offering his support. "You're welcome to come with us if you want," he said, his voice kind and understanding.
Minhe's eyes widened, brimming with tears of gratitude. "Thank you, Yujin," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
Gathering her composure, Minhe turned to her mother, Yoona. "Can I? Please?" she asked, her eyes pleading.
Yoona smiled warmly, giving her approval. "Sure, if you really want to."
