The Better Ones [JeongMin]

Chapter 10: For a Show II

Jimin's phone that was on his chest vibrated thirty minutes later, causing him to wake up. He really did want to sleep more, but he also wanted to leave the house early... with Jeongyeon.

He stared at the sleeping figure beside him again— her body was still facing him. And like what any other normal person would do... Jimin took a photo of her. After doing so, he proceeded to flick her forehead.

Jeongyeon, of course, was displeased with what Jimin did— which was evident in her grunt that was immediately muffled after Jimin covered her mouth.

Jimin: Shh! *half-whispering* Don't be too noisy. You're gonna wake people up.

Jeongyeon sighed, pushed Jimin's hand away, and sat up. Jimin did too. She glared at him— he was not showing any emotions.

Jeongyeon: Did you have to wake me up like that???? You really are not a normal person.

Jimin: What? What's not normal about that? How would you want me to— oh. *smirks* Should've I woke you up like this?

Jeongyeon: Huh?

Jeongyeon then figured out what he was thinking at that moment, and she no longer wanted to give him any more satisfaction with his teasings. So instead of pushing him away or dodging him when he was coming closer, she held his shoulders, threw herself towards him, and almost kissed him.

Her actions flustered him, and within a few seconds, he managed to get off his bed.

Jimin: What the heck are you trying to do, woman???

Jeongyeon: What? 😶 Weren't you going to kiss me?

Jimin: Tss.

Jeongyeon: Why do you keep on doing that to me?

Jimin: What if my reflexes are not fast? Then we... we'd end up... kissing.

Jeongyeon: Seriously, I knew it wouldn't happen. You're all like that, acting cool... but you're also afraid for some reason. I can already read your mind. *rolls eyes*

Jimin: You're so careless! You're not supposed to do that! Are you like that to anyone? *pacing back and forth with his hands on his hips*

Jeongyeon: *sighs* So what now? Why do you do that? Do you perhaps... like me?

▶️ PLAY: My Yellow - YELO

Jimin: What?! *scoffs* After using my sister for your crappy article?

Jeongyeon: You're not saying 'no'. So I'm taking it as yes.

Jimin: *sat beside Jeongyeon as he cupped her face and paused* Not even in your dreams, no. You're not particularly likable, just so you know.

Jeongyeon: *pushed Jimin and glared at him* You will rot in hell one day, Park Jimin.

An awkward silence came after, and both couldn't look at each other. Jeongyeon was too annoyed at what Jimin told her but at the same time, frustrated for not knowing what exactly went on in his head.

Jimin: *clears throat* Have you brought your towel?

Jeongyeon: Why would I have a towel?? Have you forgotten how I got here in the first place? How stupid.

Jimin: * scratched his head and walked towards his cabinet to look for a towel* *mutters* I only asked one question that should've been answerable by yes or no, but she started talking nonstop. Huh, what if I don't lend her a towel?

Jeongyeon: Mwo???!!! Do you want me to walk around naked?? Are you are a pervert or something?? *pushed Jimin and looked for a towel herself*
