Jimin thinks that, for the first time in her life, she has witnessed what some call an actual “girl crush”. Because what the hell was that? How did Minjeong go from a teary mess to a confident smooth-talker in the span of what… ten minutes?
Jimin, the obvious extrovert of the two, had wanted to make the younger girl feel comfortable by taking the reins and asking for her number.
But before she could even realize it, she had the girl’s number in her phone, and she was requested to call her that very night? What would they even be talking about? Jimin hadn’t thought that far ahead when she asked for her number!
That’s why she’s currently pacing around her bedroom, brainstorming about what she could possibly say and talk about with Minjeong. But most importantly, she was mustering up the courage to actually call because it’s still scary, even for an extrovert like her!
Jimin took a deep breath, and grabbed her phone that she previously threw on her bed during one of her failed ‘Calling Minjeong’ attempts. She went to her contacts, and finally found her contact. The girl had named herself “Minjeongie❄️” and woah, the girl keeps on getting cuter and cuter… What’s with the nickname and the emote?
Mustering all of her courage, Jimin tapped the call button, and immediately looked away. So much for being brave, Yu Jimin!
There were a few rings, before she heard Minjeong’s… sleepy voice? “Hello..?”
Jimin immediately swooned hearing her tired yet endearing voice. How can someone be so cute, seriously! “Hi, I hope I’m not bothering you!” she blurted out.
Minjeong chuckled and gosh Jimin is weak to her sleepy tone already… “It’s okay, I just woke up from a nap but I’m here. What’s up?”
Jimin laughed a little. “Aren’t you the one who asked me to call you?”
“O-oh! True…” Minjeong sounded a bit embarrassed. But before Jimin could even feel worried about it, the younger woman resumed. “But I’m glad you called, no worries!”
Jimin released a small sigh. “I’m glad you’re not regretting it.”
“Of course not!,” giggled Minjeong, earning a small laugh from Jimin as well. A small silence erupted between the two, until Minjeong mustered up the courage to speak again. It’s funny how awkward they were now that they were on call, compared to the small and easy banters they already had the few times they properly talked face to face.
“So, tell me about yourself Jimin.”
Jimin was a bit taken aback by her boldness, but didn’t mind it. “Is this some kind of speed dating session?” she joked.
“Well…”
No. Way.
“Minjeong?” Jimin called, her heart already pounding loudly in her ribcage.
“It’s not! I’m just not a very sociable person so I’m awkward sorry…” If Minjeong had been in front of her, Jimin is sure she would have seen small dog ears flopping down on top of her head. She giggled at the thought.
“All good Minjeong! I guess I will start then.” Jimin cleared her throat, preparing herself for her little self introduction. Just thinking about this made her cringe a bit. It was very unusual for people to randomly introduce themselves over the phone after already interacting in real life. It felt like the first day of classes in college where you have to introduce yourself in front of the whole class, under the judging gaze of the professor.
But this is Minjeong, so it immediately makes this weird interaction a very interesting one. Jimin will take every opportunity she gets to know more about this mysterious girl.
She does have a lot of questions after all. Being the decent human-being she is, she obviously did not push when she had seen Minjeong almost crying back in the classroom. But it doesn’t stop her from still being extremely curious about the reasons.
It wasn’t from mere curiosity though. Jimin is already deeply concerned for the girl. She’s Yizhuo’s best friend after all, so it’s better if they get along well, isn’t it?
(And she also is very much intrigued by Minjeong. The girl’s whole aura screams mysteriousness, and Jimin can’t help but to be drawn by it.)
“As you already know, my name is Yu Jimin. I’m a sophomore in Business major, so I should be a year older than you. I obviously love bass, and also cats! I can’t own any since I’m allergic to them though… And I also love cute things! Hmm what else…”
