Stuck With You (Jinjoo)

Chapter 1

Minjoo found herself walking by the shoreline of a white-sanded beach. The sun was setting over the horizon which created a wonderful glow that matched the beach's serene feeling.

Mindlessly, Minjoo kept walking. With no destination in mind, she kept on going where her feet would take her. She doesn't know why but she just had the feeling that this is where she should be—in this beautiful beach, under the remaining glimmer of the setting sun.

A couple of seconds into her harmonious walk, she noticed a lady standing near by the ocean waves. She was wearing an all-blue outfit, the uniform for the resort's personnel. Minjoo didn't exactly know how she thought about that. She just had the feeling that this lady works here.

The lady smiled as soon as she saw Minjoo approaching. She gave her a small nod.

"We've been expecting you, Ms. Kim. Now if you won't mind, let me show you the way." The lady began to walk ahead, beckoning for Minjoo to follow her.

Minjoo reluctantly followed the lady even without knowing how the lady knew her name. All she knew was that she had to follow her.

The sun has now set when Minjoo and the lady reached their destination. The moment that they stopped, the lady looked back at Minjoo and motioned for her to come forward.

As soon as she did, she saw a gazebo right in the middle of the beach. It had candles lit all through the place that illuminated the space. A single table and two chairs were placed in the middle of the room. In one of the chairs, a girl was seated. Her back was facing Minjoo.

When Minjoo saw the girl, her heart started to race, knowing exactly well who this familiar figure belonged to.

As if on cue, the girl looked back. She spotted Minjoo near her and stood up. Walking slowly while smiling at Minjoo, the girl revealed herself to be none other than—Kim Chaewon.

The moment that Chaewon stood face-to-face with Minjoo, she gave the lady a small nod as a sign of thanks before grabbing Minjoo's hand. She led her inside the gazebo. She then pulled Minjoo's chair for her to sit in which Minjoo obliged. Knowing that Minjoo was settled, Chaewon went in her own seat.

The first few seconds consists mostly of them just smiling at each other. Knowing that this dinner needed to start, Chaewon spoke first.

"So, uhm... I just wanted to say that you look pretty, like, really pretty tonight." Chaewon once again smiled at Minjoo who was becoming shy by her compliment. She was absentmindedly playing with the flowers displayed in front of her.

"T-Thanks." Minjoo managed to say, her cheeks reddening.

Chaewon let out a chuckle noticing Minjoo's shyness towards her. Again, Chaewon spoke up. "Now that we're here, can I ask you to do one thing for me?"

Minjoo looked up, nodding her head. "Sure, anything. What is it?"

"Well, I want you to snap out of it." Chaewon says, still smiling at Minjoo. Minjoo looked confused hearing Chaewon's sudden request.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Minjoo asked, still having a bemused look on her face.

"I said, snap out of it." Chaewon continually says, staring at Minjoo with adoring eyes.

Minjoo's vision started to spin. Soon enough, she noticed a hand waving in front of her face. It belonged to her best friend who was currently sitting beside her, Yuri.

"Minjoo! Snap out of it!" She heard Yuri say.

Minjoo shook her head slightly, focusing her eyes on the person beside her. Yuri's voice was loud enough to make Minjoo snap out from her daydreaming.
