Pleasant Imagines (Jinjoo)

No matter what happens

Silence filled the dorm with the sun barely rising in the sky. It's the last day of jacket shooting for all izone members before their comeback a week later.

Yujin slips off the bunk bed, realising Minju wasn't around. Weird, she doesn't wake up without alarms. The girl walks out of the room and into the bathroom just to see Minju with her head hung low, standing in front of the sink.

"Unnie, you okay?" she holds onto the latter's shoulder, bringing her to stand up properly. Minju sighs and nods, brushing her hair back. "What happened?" Yujin shifts her hair aside and intently looks at Minju.

"Just felt a little dizzy," she replies, assuring Yujin who decided to let her go. "Is Eunbi unnie awake yet?" Minju asks, washing her hands.

"She said to let her sleep in today. You know what happened last night." Yujin snickers, shaking her head. Minju nodded and left the bathroom, going back into the room.

...

Everyone managed to get into the van that'll be bringing them to the warehouse where the photo shoot takes place.

"Eunbi unnie! She stole my blanket again!" Hitomi complains, frowning at her seatmate, Chaewon.

"Kim Chaewon," Eunbi calls from a few seats away, immediately getting Chaewon to return the blanket to the always-cold girl. "I like seeing you complain," she says, looking at Hitomi who laid the blanket over her lap.

"And I hate it when it's cold." the Japanese girl retorted, sitting comfortably.

"Cute."

Hyewon directed a packet of bread to Minju who was sitting behind her with Yujin. "You didn't eat anything earlier." she shakes the bread. Yujin took it and thanked her, holding onto the bread for now.

"You sure you don't want it?" she asks Minju who supported her head against the window. She hums in denial. Yujin looks at Hyewon who shrugged and sat properly.

The manager announced some things for them to take note of while Yujin places her cardigan over Minju's legs. "Come here unnie." she gently brings Minju to lie on her shoulder, not knowing why she didn't feel well since this morning.

She didn't have a fever, sore throat or any signs of being sick other than the fact that her face looked slightly paler than normal.

"Promise me you'll see the doctor after the shoot." Yujin adjusts the cardigan, feeling the latter's arm going around hers. Minju nods before taking a short nap.

...

"Min, hurry up."

Chaewon motions for the younger girl to go to her while they were in the middle of their shoot. The makeup artist went beside her and touched up her lipstick.

"You sure you're okay?" Chaewon circles her arm around Minju's shoulder, seeing her nod with a slight smile on her face. "She does look a little pale." the lady told Chaewon who looked at Minju.

"This is the last one." she tries encouraging the girl to persist before proceeding to pose in front of the camera.

Yujin monitors the pair through the little screen.

"Did you go too hard on her last night?" Yena teases, poking the side of Yujin's body.

"We didn't do anything last night unnie," she responded, surprising Yena. "You sure? Because Chaewon told me she heard disturbing noises."

"Yeah, that would be Eunbi unnie," Yujin answers with eyes glued to the screen.

Yena folds her arms and says, "Should've just handed her some earplugs because I had the best sleep last night."
