Chapter 7

Minjeong laid down on top of her bed, her arm pressed against her eyes. She couldn’t help but to replay the events from the night. 

After chatting for what seemed like hours with Jimin, the woman walked her home, and reluctantly let her hand go when they had reached her dorm’s entrance. They ended up staying outside for a good while. So much that around the end, Minjeong had started to freeze. But luckily, Jimin had lent her her jacket.

When Jimin had put it around the younger woman’s shoulders, Minjeong immediately warmed up. And she knows deep down that the cause of her sudden increase in warmth hadn’t only been the fluffy jacket.

If Minjeong had to be honest, their outing really felt like a date. But isn’t that just her wishfully hoping for it to be one though? 

She has yet to address her feelings for Jimin to herself, but it doesn’t take a genius to realize she feels good with her. Way too good actually. And the way she was currently hugging Jimim’s jacket was an obvious sign of it. 

Maybe Minjeong is a weirdo for indulging herself with Jimin’s lingering scent on the piece of clothing. But who could possibly blame her, it was right there! 

“Oh my gosh you’re actually so down bad…”

Minjeong let out a shriek, and immediately threw the jacket against the wall at the opposite side of her room. 

“Ning what the-”

And obviously, seeing the ridiculous and embarrassing stunt Minjeong had just pulled, Yizhuo burst out laughing.

“Minjeong… don’t tell me you were actually sniff-”

“Aah shut up!” Minjeong covered her ears, got up and pushed Yizhuo outside of the room, feeling her ears burning up under her hands. However, Yizhuo put up a great fight and somehow, the two ended up wrestling on the couch.

“Gosh you’re such a weirdo!” cackled Yizhuo in between dodging Minjeong’s angry hands. 

Minjeong was seeing red, but it was more from embarrassment towards herself than anything. “You saw nothing!”

“Girl I’m sorry but it’s too good of a thing for me to forget!”

Minjeong groaned, and decided to let herself roll down on the floor, finally deciding to surrender and give up. She was way too tired for this shit already, and Yizhuo was way too strong anyways. Do all drummers have such gorilla strength??

Fistfighting with her best friend after an exhausting afternoon of studying was not in her plans at all!

Yizhuo, who was still laughing and comfortably sitting on the couch after her successful victory, looked down at Minjeong. “For real though, what’s the deal with that?”

Minjeong sighed. Yizhuo already caught her in what was probably the most embarrassing situation of her life, so what else was there to hide really… 

It feels weird for Minjeong to admit it out loud though. Hell, she can’t even admit it to herself the safe confines of her head! 

But her evening with Jimin showed her that the older woman makes her feel so good and relaxed. But she also can’t find herself to stop thinking about her ever since she came home. The way Jimin gently held her hand, the joyous conversations they had, the hidden glances and timid smile. 

The sole memory of all of that was enough to make Minjeong’s heart beat faster. 

Long story short, she’s helplessly down bad for Yu Jimin. And the worst of it? She doesn’t even mind. 

“Well…” she started. “I bumped into her when I was exiting the library, so she walked me home and we got ice cream on the way.”

Yizhuo hummed. “So, does that explain your red cheeks and the jacket?”
