Originally Loved

Chapter 23

Minjeong was in her hotel room lying down on her bed after a heated kiss from Jimin. The girl that once hurted her because of protecting her now dead sister from her. She tried to process the incident that occured as she pinched her nose so hard just to sense that she was not dreaming at all.

"I'm not dreaming" Minjeong whispered to herself as she dazed in an empty wall. She slapped her fluffy cheeks with her hands, left and right, just to make sure she was not in her own fantasies.

"And I fucking kissed her back" This time she stood up and pace back and forth, mumbling some words.

"I'm definitely not dreaming"

"But she kissed me first"

"And you kissed her back, you idiot" She groaned in embarrassment as she buried her face on her pillows.

"Am I ready? To love her?" Minjeong asked herself. She was not sure of herself if she was prepared for her heart to be broken again. She lost the love of her life without even remembering how truly they loved each other for almost a year. And that when she met Jimin, she helped her remembered everything but by hurting both of themselves.

Jimin indirectly tried to made her recall the memories of Karina, through her same features, and her tattoo that symbolizes their love. But even though she had some speculations about her, she was slowly falling in love with her. Jimin.

The seven years of not communicating with her friends in Seoul was part of her healing to the devastating years of her life but to no avail, Minjeong still have to face her past. She promised herself not to fall in love again once she's ready to open her heart. But then, there's Jimin, attempting to take her heart any moment and that she was willing to give.

Minjeong was in confusion whether she should or not.

"Do you mind, my Karina?" Minjeong asked her dead girlfriend while looking at their picture together.

"I mean, she's your sister. And I think I have feelings for her."

"Is it because she looked like you?"

"Or is it because I think she's you"

"It's been years, Rina, but I still can't get over you"

"Should I?"

Minjeong muttered the last two words as her tears streaming down her face.

"Would you be happy?"

"Rina, I don't know what to do"

Minjeong just sighed deeply leaving her mind bombarded with a lot of questioning thoughts about her indirect feelings towards Jimin.

------------------

Shit.

Fucking shit.

Jimin cursed in her thoughts as she frantically pacing back and forth in her bedroom putting her hands on her waist.

"Just sorry? Now she thinks you're a creep, Jimin"

She groaned looking at the ceiling like she was having a talk with herself. She immediately put her hands at the back of her nape massaging it lightly and decided to sit on her bed.

"I fucking kissed her, did I?" Jimin dazed as she said those words in whisper as she buried her face with her two hands.

"Rina, I didn't meant to. It was the feelings that did it. I couldn't help it. She's been on my mind all these years" Jimin sighed in defeat as she knew too well that Karina will forever be in Minjeong's heart and she cannot compete to that.

"But she kissed back, did she meant that?"

"I don't know probably I was just hallucinating"

"Should I give us a chance, Rina?"
