we’re all in this together!

despite mina's "tough" image, she won't deny that she's a fan of interactions with other people. sure, some of them could not be what she expected, but it's better than just walking around the country with no friends and no social life. besides, who wouldn't love her sass enough to not befriend her? she's a good addition to a friend circle as the tough friend, even if she showcases a different personality to them.
but while she does appreciate her friends and love them, she sometimes feels a little bit different from all of them. half of her friend group was smart, but even the majority of them seemed like they had their shit altogether despite it being their last year as "kids". she loves and appreciates them, but she often feels insecure about herself for not being able to be that put together. it hurt her pride a bit, but she didn't want to tell them that because it would only make them feel bad and she did not in any way have the desire to be a walking pity party.
even though xiao is a little older than her, she's glad she was able to find a way to befriend her. interactions with the other felt comfortable, to be honest. mina was always there to provide the other a listening ear whenever she had problems and it also happened the other way around. it was like a mutual, emotional agreement the two of them had and thank god for that. otherwise, mina would have to hold in her emotions again and that was not fun in the slightest.
it was another rough day again, but thankfully she wasn't too exhausted from it. and though she knows she has her friend group to rant about it to, she doesn't want to feel like a burden to them. really, there were a few people she could list that she could talk about her problems to, but she was afraid of bothering them since they would most likely be doing something productive. xiao, however, was one of the people on said list and she knew in her heart that she could talk about anything to her comfortably. so she takes out her phone and sends out a few texts.
