Five

"Hi Jungkook, thank you for accepting my request. How are you doing? Do you remember me?"

"Here is a picture of me if you don't remember me."

"Did you get my picture?"

"Should I send another one?"

"Jungkook, will you respond?"

"Are you busy? Right now, I'm not busy. I went to class today but didn't know what was happening. My professor told me I'm cute. I'll send you a picture of what I wore today. One moment."

"Did you get it? Do I look cute?"

"I guess you're busy, so I'll write to you again later. Jimin told me it was time to eat. Jimin is my roommate, and we became members of the club together. While I am here, he takes care of me. I will let you meet him again. Please write back to me as soon as you can. I want to see you as soon as I can."

Jimin cut Jin's chicken into small pieces and arranged Jin's vegetables in the shape of a moon on his plate. Jin smiled and clapped his hands when he saw it. "Thank you, Jimin, this looks so pretty."

"You are welcome. Please eat all of it if you can."

Jin nodded, "I will." He looked across at Jimin's plate and frowned when he saw something that wasn't on his, "what's that?"

"It's a kimchi pancake."

"Oh," Jin responded with a pout.

"You want to try it?"

"Yes, please." Jin's face lit up; he was happy Jimin offered.

Jimin cut half of his kimchi pancake and gave it to Jin, "sorry I didn't give you any before. Your mom said you don't like kimchi."

Jin was puzzled and said, "I have no idea what kimchi is, so how can I not enjoy it? Exactly what is it?"

Jimin was taken aback, and he took the time to explain to Jin what kimchi was and how it was their traditional side dish, which to Seokjin sounded like a foreign language.

"Oh, it has garlic in it. I don't think I'll be able to eat it. Perhaps that's why my mom won't let me have it."

"No, I made this one without. I wouldn't make you anything and put garlic in it, knowing you can't have it."

"Really? That's such a nice thing to do, Jimin. Then I will eat it. Since it's new, can I say if I don't like it? It won't be a bad thing about your cooking, but it's just about if I like it or not."

"That's fine; I'd just like you to be honest." Jimin gave Jin a reassuring smile.

Jin gave a kind smile before taking a bite out of the pancake. Because it was something he had never had before and was unfamiliar with, he took his time chewing it. It reminded him of when he had popcorn when they went to the movies. However, it looked less fun than the popcorn did.

"I like it. Could I get more? I no longer want the chicken and vegetables. Please give me only pancakes."

Jimin shook his head and added, "I didn't make anymore, and remember what we spoke about earlier about not wasting food? It would be a shame to waste the chicken and veggies I worked so hard to prepare for you if you decided not to eat them. It would also hurt my feelings since I spent time making it for you."

"Oh. Jimin, I'm sorry. It will be eaten. I think I'll like the chicken and vegetables as well."

Jin's response made Jimin smile. "Thank you, Jinnie. So, did Jungkook accept your friend request?"
