⊰ hello, competitor ⊱

chapter sixteen.

𝐉𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐍 𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐓 mina after hearing her name was being called by a random cashier there as if knew her that long. he noticed mina's small smile as a respond to that guy. now, he's feeling envy.

who the hell is he?

"you can go now." his eyes drift at mina who had turn her whole body facing at him within one second and she walks away.

he's sort of jealous. that guy who called her seems weird yet, she still at least smile at him while when she's with jimin himself, she turn cold real quick. just when jimin planned to walk out, he stopped.

mina don't date, remember? that though make him form a smile. without any hesitation, he walks to the cashier where the guy calls for mina.

since mina had finished changed what she's wearing, she grow a frown when she sees jimin were taking an order from jaehyung.

"why are you still here?" mina asks, making both guy turn at her but her eyes clearly stuck on jimin's. she does not like of his presence here, bothering her everywhere she goes.

jimin smile, "it's my choice to go or not. plus, you have my hoodie, with you." he says, glancing at the cashier and smirk in victory as he notices the way his face changed.

jaehyung laugh awkwardly, "ah.. you both know each other?" he asks, turning at mina who's seems to be ignoring his words while she's getting costumer.

jaehyung let out an support sigh when he turns at jimin who's already staring, "here's your receipt. you may take your order when your number comes up."

jimin gave a sly smile as he takes the receipt and goes to the seat wherever he wants to. mina let out an angry sigh as her eyes goes to jimin's who's already sitting down while watching the scene outside.

"what the hell is his problem and why won't he go away?" mina asks inside her heart, feeling unsatisfied of him being anywhere she goes.

she should thanked him, for willing to help her running away from her mom but instead, she felt like screaming her whole heart to him to go away. it's like he's trying to get inside her life like how her first love used to do as first move to get on her.

"you know him?"

mina turns her head at jaehyung who's counting money while glancing at her annoyed face. mina clears her throat, "did he ordered something?"

jaehyung nods, "iced americano. i only need to-"

"give his order to me," mina says, casually walking away from the cashier as jaehyung panic and stops her. "what are you doing?"

"my job?" mina sarcastically says. it's not like she purposely willing to that just to meet him but, her whole point is to kick him out of here.

having him around her while working is bothering her to focus. just as well as in school. the way he always tries to piss her off is always getting on her nerves.

jimin turns when he hears a cup being placed on the table. he form a smile, "look. it's myoui mina."

"go away as soon as you finished your drink." she straight up said, without waiting any seconds. he raised his eyebrows, "why is that?"

"you're annoying me."

jimin scoffs, "i will take that as a compliment. i even saved your ass and this is what you turn?" jimin faked a sigh, leaning on his chair while drinking the iced americano she just give.

"i didn't ask for your help." she defended.

jimin put down his drink, "yeah you didn't." he paused, leaning closer to her presence to give a clear talk. "but mentally, you do need someone's help."

mina didn't answer. instead, they're having a eye contact battle like they usually do. mina might not notices this but, the way jimin always examine her from far, make him realizes something.

all of those extra work she put on, is just a distraction for her from reality.

jimin smiles and lean back on his seat, turning away after feeling the small victory of his'. mina took a deep breath, without saying words she walks away passing jaehyung who had been watching the two the entire time.

jaehyung glances at mina who straight up goes to her cashier place, counting the money as she usually did. then, to that guy. mina clearly point the fact that she doesn't like him by trying to kick him out but that guy? goddamn, he didn't give a shit.

mina had check out after an hours of being angry and annoyed of someone and now finally gets to leave. jaehyung calls out for mina before she get to walk out.

"you need someone to send you home? i have my car with me today." jaehyung gives out a kind smile when mina turns at him.

mina looks around, her eyes met jimin's whos walking to their direction after falling asleep and being developed by some other workers. then, mina's thought goes to her family. they must be in her apartment since they couldn't contact or find her anywhere.

at these kind of situation, she had to go with jimin.

"no thanks. i will go with him."
