Different World, Jinjoo

Chapter 15 - Touchy

Yujin's POV

"Where are we going?" Minju has been whining for the past twenty minutes since we left the hospital.

As usual, I made her take the bus. She can't say no to anything as long as she's out of the hospital.

This is the only time I have power over someone. But it doesn't feel great considering it's her life at stake here.

"Somewhere you'll like." I continued pulling her towards a building.

We stopped, looking up at the endless floors. She looks at me. "WakeOne Entertainment?"

"I have a friend here." She had no choice but to follow me.

We entered, looking around the place. I've never actually been here before.

Yuri's in this company. Jo Yuri. She's a soloist and composer. We went to the same elementary and high school. She's my senior of course. But back then, she was a real brat.

Hyewon knows her too despite being in different schools. I introduced them to each other one day, just a little cafe hopping session. Hyewon loves that and somehow fell for something else.

She likes idiotic brats.

"Wow." Minju gasps out.

I snickered, checking my phone. Yuri said she'll be down in a minute.

We'll just wait on one of the chairs here.

"Why are we here?"

I looked at Minju. "I heard it's your dream to become an idol, is it true?" she blinks before nodding.

"But that was long ago," she said. "I gave up on that since my dad didn't support me."

"Oh." I didn't know that.

"I'm fine with inheriting the company. I'll just move on from there, maybe even start something of my own if I'm able to."

She's ambitious. Can't get what she wants, she'll make what she wants. How cool is that? I think that's cool.

"I'll let you meet my friend."

"Who?"

I looked up front to see Yuri coming out of the gantry. "There." I pointed.

Minju shifts her gaze, eyes widening slowly. I've never seen her eyes grow this big before.

"Jo Yuri is your friend?!"

"Why, you know her?" Did I just ask that? Of course she might know her, Yuri's famous around here.

She just released a single not long ago. It blessed my ears. I don't usually listen to much pop, but that song was honestly great.

"Will you believe me?" Minju looks at me. Yuri comes closer as every second passes.

"What?"

"She hates me."

The moment she said that I didn't manage to think since Yuri arrived.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have work?" She asked, brushing her hair back.

Hm. New hairstyle. She never liked her forehead being seen. She had bangs for the longest time, I guess it was time to let go of it.

But it looks great.

Everything looks great.

"I just wanted to know how you're doing." I smiled casually.

"Oh? Ahn Yujin, you've changed. Since when do you care about me?" She slaps my arm, sitting beside me. I stopped her, pushing her to the other side.
