It's halfway in between. You say "f'ree". It sits in the spot between 1 and 2, like a wobbly and uncertain syllable, that lingers as "mine" beyond "me".

Notice how the former is longer than the latter, despite being the same number of notes. A warble, a wiggle, a bridge between meters, "FR" is timed out like "baroque".

what?

mine is /maɪ̯n/

me is /miː/ (UK), /mi/ (US) or /mɪ/ (northern England)

baroque is /bæˈɹɒk/ (UK) or /bəˈɹoʊk/ (US)

do you just want to add an /iː/ between fr and fr?

/fɹiːfɹ/?
