05. Closeness between the two

Stubs out the cigarette with some haste as hears a door open not far away. Jeonggoo throws the butt as far away as she can and the empty box. Pops a couple of mints in her mouth, sniffs her hands and scrunches up his face before wiping herself with a wet wipe. Hates the way the sweat smells with the cigarette and the metal of the bike. Adjusts her hair in the rearview mirror, wipes the nonexistent edge of her red lipstick, and adjusts the tight blouse she wears under the jacket.

By the time she squints Jimin steps out of the entrance to the housing estate and Jeonggoo holds her breath. Jimin is a very pretty girl and always dresses up a lot. Despite that, she didn't think she was going to take the effort for this. What is on display is quite the opposite. Jimin stops standing in front of Jeonggoo and smiles somewhat pitifully. She wears a white skirt, white corset better outlines her prominent chest; a sheer, yellow blouse with gold floral print on top; cork heels that lace up her entire thigh.

Jeonggoo reddens at the way Jimin bends down to look for some injury. Releases the air and smiles nervously:

"I told you I wouldn't fight. Do you distrust so much?" Jeonggoo stammers and Jimin laughs. Arranges a lock of her hair. She has a clip that says "honey!" accompanied by other plain yellow ones that decorate the black hair.

"Well, you threatened Tae all of a sudden, I have reason to be suspicious." opines Jimin and Jeonggoo nods, detailing Jimin's face. Has light makeup. Smoky eyes, black eyeliner and lips with pink gloss. She's...

She's too beautiful, Jeonggoo can't believe it. Jimin gets on the bike and Jeonggoo settles in. Jeonggoo feels Jimin's arms around her waist once finishes putting on the helmet and leans back against her.

"Cinema?"

"Please."

Taehyung opens the Instagram notification alerting him of a new post from Jimin. He knows she was going on her date with the deer-eyed gangsta today and doesn't avoid covering her face with one hand. They look very happy. It's several posts, Jimin is very given to taking pictures of herself. For anything. And Jeonggoo seems to be the type to take pictures of others. Taehyung rubs his face and continues to look.

TataBear95: 🥺My Soulmate so beautiful. Next time invite and I'm the photographer, I promise to do it right.
             Minnie95: promise you pay for the candy and I'll carry you loaded if you want.
             JJK_Bunny: say your address and I'll send for you, give me that money.

Taehyung throws the cell phone and screams into a pillow. Why does every approach from Jeonggoo towards him sound like a threat?! The cat he's had for two weeks starts scratching him because he thinks he's playing.

"Don't you want to line your eyes?"

"I do! But I can't do it. Not on me! I never get it."

"Wait a moment then.

Jeonggoo closes her eyes, letting Jimin do it for her. They enter a makeup store where Jimin is already carrying a mini basket full. She blinks and looks at herself in a small mirror. Jimin laughs and drops her head to the side.

"It looks so good on you. I hope you learn how to do it." She says tenderly and Jeonggoo blushes.

Jimin is... too close. Hugging, arm-holding, getting close. It's almost bad interpretable as interest. Even now that she buys things Jeonggoo wanted and didn't grab. Her appearance exhibits her as a very feminine girl and almost stereotypical as the "spoiled shallow rich girl", yet Jeonggoo carries on all the time quietly just listening to everything she talks about. Her conversation topics suddenly become very elaborate and she has a very firm and convincing way of speaking.
