Yum Yum

Winter POV

I always keep updated about Jaemin Oppa's activity including NCT Dream performance in Germany. I saw him often make an update on his Instagram and I saw that he was chilling with Renjun Oppa. He posted their drink with the caption 'Yum Yum'. I didn't think much about his update but not long after that, the 'Yum Yum' thing become trending on the internet. Apparently, Jaemin Oppa didn't realize that he drank alcohol. He got his hangover at the airport. That was really funny! I couldn't stop laughing at that. Even Jaemin Oppa did a clarification through his Bubble.

Well, I wouldn't miss this opportunity to tease him. I sent him his photo with Renjun Oppa at the airport. Both of them looked down and looked sleepy.

Minjeong: Are you okay? 😂

But my messages seem not delivered. Maybe he had already flown and his phone was off. Well, I just hope that he was alright through his long flight.

Early in the morning, I went to SM to practice and prepare our 2nd mini album. In the distance, I saw Jaemin Oppa, Jeno Oppa, and Jisung. Seems they had a schedule for today. I saw that Jaemin Oppa looked sleepy and tired but overall he was fine. Glad to see that.

Suddenly Jaemin Oppa looked in my direction. He smiled at me. I instantly smiled back at him. I couldn't help it, his smile was really contagious. Surprisingly he came in my direction and greet me.

"Hi, H.I!" He smiled at me.

I laughed at his funny greetings, "Hi, Oppa. How are you?"

"I'm totally fine! Just like what you see." Jaemin Oppa took his phone and showed it to me. It was our chat room, "Sorry that I haven't replied to your text, but well yeah I'm fine."

"Well, glad to hear that." I smiled.

"Renjun and I didn't realize that was an alcoholic drink, but it's yummy though..."

"Just be careful, Oppa... Moreover, you had a long flight after that."

"Ahrasseo. I'll be careful next time, thanks for worrying about me, Minjeong-ah." Jaemin smiled so sweetly at me.

God, could I just stay here and adore his smile for the rest of my life?

"Actually, I'm not into alcohol that much. But well, I do really want to have some with you. I think we can hang out some other day."

Wait, what? Jaemin Oppa invited me to hang out together? I was mentally screaming. Like for real?!

"Oh, of course, Oppa! I'd love to!" I answered.

"Hmm, even though it's quite hard to find time and place... But yeah, we'll find it eventually." He said.

Well, of course. It must be hard for us if we wanted to hang out together. People might be suspicious and spread false rumors. Damn, the loss of being an idol.

I just smiled, "Well, I will always count on your invitation. You promise me." I said. Uh, well I guessed I was being too aggressive, but yeah I couldn't just let this chance away.

"Ne, I promise you." He offered me his pinky promise.

I linked his pinky with mine. We both looked at each other and our fingers still linked. It was me who released our entwined finger. My heart couldn't handle this, it was beating too fast!

"Well, I have to go now, Minjeong-ah..."

"Ah, ne. For what schedule, Oppa?"

"Jeno, Jisung, and I will go to the D'Fest Fair." He said.

"Ah, I see..." I nodded, "I hope you always be healthy, Oppa."

"You too, Minjeong-ah." He said, "See you..."

"See you." I waved at him.

I looked at Jaemin Oppa's back walking to his van. I would always count the day when I finally could hang out with Jaemin Oppa. I was so happy that we had a good acquaintance. Yeah, at least he didn't push me away. Step by step, we would get closer, right?
