A Dark Star

Chapter 45

Jimin's point of view:

"PARK JIMIN, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL SKIN YOU ALIVE IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!!" a pillow smacking in my face repeatedly. I slap at the pillow, wishing for a little more sleep but I get up anyway.

"What?!" annoyance and displeasure at being woke up clear in my tone.

"Why are you sleeping so much? Wake up!! Your phone has been ringing non-stop. Please pick it up. It is annoying the hell out of me"

"But you're an angel. How can you have hell with you?"

"Ok. Stop it now, flirt, or I am going to throw you out of the window"

"One, you can't pick me up for the love of God. You're too small for that" I pinch two fingers close to show her how small "And two, the windows are grilled. So let me sleep!!!" I whine before falling back on the bed.

"Your phone!!!!!! Pick your phone up and then I'll let you sleep for as long as you want" and as soon as she finishes, the phone rings again.

"Hello?" I answer, my voice still a bit gravelly.

"Hey Jimin. You coming to the hospital. Noona is going for her first physiotherapy today" Taehyung's voice rings through my ear, loud and excited.

"Yeah. I'll be there in a few. I'm bringing Jinae with me"

"Oh ok. Come soon"

"Wait. You're already there?"

"Duh! Noona wanted to meet her best friend after so long, wanted to spend some time talking with her, so here we are"

"Oh ok. About that......will she be fine with me being there?"

"Hmmm. You don't have to worry about that. She will understand. Erica noona is your sister after all. So it is obvious you will be there. She won't mind"

"Okay, see you soon" I cut off the phone, getting up to get ready to go to the hospital.

"You okay with coming with me? I mean, it would be your first time meeting my sister"

"Yeah, yeah" she responds casually "I'll be fine"

Fine is far from what she is feeling. I can feel the nervous energy radiating out of her as I park the car in the basement. She is tapping her leg constantly, knee jerking up and down because of her nerves. I hold her hand in the elevator, stop her from going in the room with both my hands on her shoulder.

"Listen. She will love you, okay? Don't be so nervous. She's not gonna eat you"

"Yeah. Figured" another voice speaks up from behind her. I send Taehyung an enquiring look that has him spilling.

"I thought you were driving really slow because she was nervous. That is why I didn't call you" I stick out my tongue shyly, feeling exposed. She giggles at that.

"Is that true, Jiminie?"

"Yeah, okay, maybe. Let's just get in. She'll like you, okay? Relax" she nods at me, smiling.

"Hey, noona! How are you doing today?"

"I'm great. Thank you. Oooh! Who is this beautiful lady?" she starts her teasing as soon as she sees her.

"This is Jinae, my girlfriend. She goes to our school, a grade younger than me"

"Hello, Jinae. It's great to meet you. Hope we get along well!" she cheers, trying to make Ji comfortable. My sweet, sweet girlfriend grins at her, teeth peeking out before her hand comes up to hide them. I instinctively stop her from doing so. Noona clears her throat, snapping me back to focus on her, a smile on her face.
