Still with you

Chapter 38 : Promise

Chapter 38: Promise.

That night, before I turn off, I text all my older brothers. I end up with Jimin. I tell him that I'm happy that he's having a good holiday, that I'm doing pretty well and that I love him.

I sleep 12 hours in a row. When I wake up, I get up, shower and help my mother prepare the meal. I tell her that Jin is like a second mom to us, at the apartment. It makes her laugh. I tell her that I like to cook with him and that he is a great guy.

-And what a beautiful man ! She adds.

I burst out laughing at the thought of repeating that to Jinie.

-I was still voted the most beautiful face of the year 2019 !!!

-I know my little bunny. For me, you'll always be the most handsome, you know that.

I'm still laughing. My big brothers teased me so much when this silly ranking came out. Anyway, let's forget about it !

-What do you want for your birthday my little bunny ?

-I've been thinking about something, but you might not agree...

-I don't think you're going to ask me for any permission anyway ! She responds with a wink.

-I want to get a tattoo.

-Oh... Isn't it going to be bad for your career ? What will the agency say ?

-I don't care !

-That's it, that's it.

-Yes, that's it.

-And what are you going to get tattooed and where ? Something low-key ?

-I'm going to get my whole right arm tattooed and also my hand.

My mother sighs.

-I thought about everything I wanted. I even made drawings. It's going to be great.

-... Probably my bunny.

-What do you think about it ?

-That I love you and support you.

-Thank you, Mom. You're the best !

-Did you answer Jimin ?

-Yes.

-That's my good boy !

-Yes ! I can't wait to see him again.

On my birthday, I get lots of messages from my brothers and a video from Jimin. He wishes me a happy birthday from Paris. He's cute like always. I'm glad. I send him a message, saying :

-Thank you my Angel. I love you.

At noon, I go down town to a restaurant with two old friends who invited me to join them. I'm having a nice time, especially because they ask me few questions, they remind me lots of anecdotes we lived together at school, during Taekwondo or at the beach. I'd pretty much forgotten everything. I laugh a lot. It reminds me of the atmosphere in the dorm with my older brothers. I ask my friends what are their lifes like, if they have girlfriends, how is real life. They laugh at first but less and less when they realize that these are real questions. We're talking more seriously. It feels good. I tell them of my decision to get a tattoo and ask them if they know a tatoo shop where I could go. There are few in Korea because tattoos are not really accepted. It doesn't matter ! They tell me about a classmate who became a tattoo artist. They give me the address and her phone number. Nice ! I will call her this afternoon. My classmates have to go back to school or work, so we split up. I promise to give some news.
