Jimin and Voidborn take a bath in the onsen.
“Why are you so far away?” Voidborn asked.
“I’m embarrassed.”
Jimin sat about two arm-lengths to the side away from him. Both of them were in their onsen-attire, soaking in the lukewarm water.
Voidborn looked at Jimin, staring at how beautiful she looked even though she was covered in nothing but a white cotton towel wrapped around her body. The only exposed parts of her body were her smooth and milky legs, her dainty and slender arms, and her upper body from her gorgeous face all the way to the curve of her chest.
“Your emotions disagree,” Voidborn said, looking at the pink mist of affection around her heart, as well as the red flush flooding her cheeks.
“Are you staring at me right now?” Jimin asked, although she already knew the answer.
“Yes.”
“I feel exposed.”
“You’re beautiful.”
“Do you mean that?”
“Yes.”
“You’re a smooth talker, you know~” Jimin giggled.
“I only speak the truth.”
Jimin looked at Voidborn, finally finding the opportunity to clearly look at him after all the chaos.
His muscles were toned in the right places. Scar marks were spread across his body. His face was expressionless as usual, but it was something that Jimin could not peel her eyes off.
“Are you staring at me right now?”
“Yes.”
“I feel exposed.”
“You’re manly.”
“Manly?”
Jimin nodded.
“I like it.”
She shifted her body and waded past the water, settling beside Voidborn.
“How are you feeling right now?”
“Feeling? About what?”
“You know, about this mission… about Chaewon… Joy… Yuri or whatever she’s called…”
Jimin bit her lips.
“About me…”
Voidborn turned to look at her.
“It’s worrying.”
He looked back down at the surface of the rippling water. Water vapour steaming out from the surface obstructed him from looking at his own reflection, but there was a lot on his mind.
“The mission has been quite smooth despite the things that have cropped up, and now we have an express ride to Kandar. That’s a good thing.”
Jimin nodded and tucked her legs towards her chest.
“As for Chaewon, she’s having a hard time, but I can see she’ll tough it out. Robert likes her.”
“But she’s pushing him away.”
“On the surface. Her colours tell me otherwise.”
“That’s nice. But Chaewon will be returning to Kandar with us anyway so I guess nothing will happen.”
“As for Joy, she’s really strong.”
“That’s it?”
“Yes. She’s beautiful.”
“Isn’t she?”
“But I think you are more beautiful.”
Jimin scrunched her nose and grinned.
“You’ve said it multiple times already. It’s going to lose its effectiveness.”
“Then I shall stop.”
“No!”
“I thought so.”
“I hate you.”
“No you don’t.”
“Bleh~” she blepped, then giggled.
