Chapter 7

.......

"Really? Really Urvi? this was the sensible person who's going to argue against me?" Jimin just passes you a look as if you were the dumbest person alive.

You were dared to call someone who will support you and argue against Jimin, He did agree to let Shawnie stay if the person against him beats him in the argument. So, you called the person, who has the confidence to argue against Park Jimin. Well, at least a person who has the most experience in arguing with Jimin. Your other best friend, Aarushi.

-

You have two best friends, Jimin and Aarushi. You have known Aarushi since you stopped wearing the diapers. She shared a primary school to university with you, so it is safe to say, she was your other half. Other people thought you guys were twins, which is probably why you sometimes address Aarushi as 'Unnie'. Mostly to tease her or simply it became a habit of yours. You guys were the same age but she was two months older than you which makes sense why you were the one calling her 'Unnie!' Your nickname varies for her, it mostly goes from 'Aaru', 'Unnie', and whatnot. But there wasn't a day when you called her by her full proper name. Not to mention, she also shares the same professional field as you, so you wouldn't be surprised if she was next to you during your baby delivery in the OT, instead of your husband.

Jimin, You met him exactly when you turned 8. He was invited to your birthday party. He was a new neighbour who moved in the night before. And he was pretty pissed at your family as because of your invitation, he had to give up his sleep just to attend a stranger's birthday party. Your mother told you to be nice to Jimin and of course, you tried your best to be kind to him but he in return, gave you the cold shoulder. Which wasn't unnoticed by Aarushi as she literally picked a fight with Jimin on her first day of meeting Jimin.

That was the very first time when your two best friends had a fight. And since then, even though they know each other inside out just as any best friends do, they kept their rituals of fighting. But, that day you felt the urge to support Jimin more than Aarushi.

Jimin came back the next day to apologise for being rude and told you the reason for his annoyance. You found out his parents got divorced and he was very tired the night on your birthday since he travelled for 8 hours. You pitied the little boy at your doorstep, and his heart melting smile made you forgive him. And since the day, he became your other best friend. A considerate friend, who always there for you and protects you at any cost.

Jimin always loved you more than anything Yes, people may think that Jimin has feelings for you, but you know damn well how your relationship was more special than that. Jimin always protected you because you were the first ever human who understood him and supported him when he was most vulnerable.

"Shut up Chim! don't tell me you are annoying my best friend again." You snap out of your thoughts as you hear Aarushi scowling at Jimin.

"Oh my god, why are you even here please, just get lost already. You know very well you can't win against me!" Jimin keeps his pride in himself.

You notice Shawnie zoning out next you. His sleepy head falls firmly on your shoulder. You smile to yourself when you feel the sudden increase in your heartbeat. Shawn's soft, warm breath was hitting your shoulder as you tried to set your focus to the argument before you.

You snake your arm in between Shawn's arm and intertwine your finger with his. Shawnie unconsciously tightens the grip.

"Says who?" Aarushi growls.
