she never expected her little silly crush on the bus boy to grow into something so much more, in a world where soulmates could hear what music their other half listens to, he wanted her to play the music he heard in his head.

"omg, you shibal! i missed you!!" jimin shouted as she ran to her best friend, pulling her into a warm hug. "i missed you too~" eunji laughed, tightening her arms around her friend. soon, dolphin squeals filled the air, and eunji found herself hugged by a tall, giant penguin.
"my jii, i missed you so freaking much!" hueningkai screamed with excitement, eunji matched his excitement as she pulled him in for the hug. the three began jumping up and down, acting like they've been reunited after a decade.
"oh, auntie! we're so happy to see you!" huening and jimin said in unison after they let go of eunji and hugged her mother.
"me too! i'm glad you two came to see us!" eunji's mom replied, a soft smile on her lips. "yeah, and our parents wanted us to tell you they're sorry for not being here. they're really busy with work." jimin explained.
"it's okay, sweetie! let's all head to the house i rented. we can tidy up, organize, and make lunch together!" eunji's mother suggested as she picked up her luggage. before she could even lift it, huening grabbed the bags from her hands and insisted on carrying them.

once they arrived at the small wooden house, eunji's mother and huening kai went to the kitchen while eunji and jimin went to the bedroom to unpack. "is miss jimin already dating?" eunji smirked playfully, teasing her. jimin blushed so hard that her cheeks were practically glowing.
"aigoo, look at this shibal blushing! bwahaha, you look even uglier than before!" eunji giggled teasingly, nudging the blushing jimin playfully.
"shut it now, at least i'm dating someone and you're not even with your soulmate." jimin said, eunji knew there was no real spite behind her words but her energy shifted as she remembered beomgyu. her heart clenched as the memories of their last encounter came rushing back.
at her silence, jimin raised an eyebrow and then sighed "hey! eunji, i'm sorry i didn't mean to sound like i wanna hurt your feelings..." she grabbed her hand, and eunji chuckled "it's okay... i just get lost in thoughts when i remember him." jimin opened her mouth to say something but eunji beat her to it "i'll be right back, i wanna get something to eat before we continue." she stood up, leaving jimin on the floor with the bags.
ugh, i really messed up. why am i so dumb?
eunji walked into the kitchen with her head lowered "eunji, my beloved best friend!" huening cooed, wrapping her in a gentle hug. "what's wrong with your pretty face?" he asked, his voice childlike and concerned.
"nothing much. is there anything to eat?" she asked, disregarding his question. huening shook his head. "aww, i was really craving some snacks." she sighed, pursing her lips.
"let's clean up fast and then we'll make lunch. come on, shoo!" hueningkai pushed her playfully, but when he saw her slow movements, he realized something was wrong. he grabbed her arm gently and made her sit on one of the chairs opposite him as he also took a seat,
"why is eunji so sad?" he asked, tilting his head to meet her eyes.
"why does he hate me?" she whispered. huening sighed, taken aback for a moment. knowing exactly who she was talking about.
"he's a fool, that's why. he can't see the beauty in your heart! people are always quick to judge, sharp as detectives when it comes to someone's flaws, but completely blind to their kindness. they don't care to know the whole story. but don't worry about him. i love you, jimin loves you! and that's what matters!" huening spoke in a soft, encouraging tone, giggling at the end, and eunji couldn't help but laugh along with him.
"i love you too, my giant penguin!" she said, hugging him tightly, and he hugged her back just as warmly.
"aigoo, look at you two!" eunji's mother walked in, placing a bag of snacks and supplies on the clean, shining table. "i brought some snacks for the breaks we'll take."
eunji squealed in excitement as she reached for the plastic bags and took out some snacks, she went back to the bedroom and jimin almost knocked her over as appeared suddenly and hugged eunji tightly.
"i am so sorry eunji!" the mentioned girl choked and jimin finally pulled back "i told you it's okay!" eunji panted before grinning and raising the plastic bags "let's just fill our stomachs with these until lunch is ready and then forget all about it!" she cheered and jimin laughed. relieved that her friend was already recovering.
after finishing up their assigned chores, they all gathered in the kitchen to make lunch. eunji expertly prepared mandu, her mother busied herself with chicken and bibimbap, while jimin and huening chopped vegetables for the salad, all the while bickering nonstop. eunji giggled quietly at their antics.
"ahh, you two better stop arguing, or i'll bless your heads with my frying pans!" eunji's mother shouted from across the kitchen, clearly irritated. they had been bickering for so long, they hadn't even chopped a single tomato. jimin and huening immediately shut up, glaring at each other while they continued their task.
finally, lunch was ready without the kitchen being set on fire.
"mmm, this is so delicious!" huening said through mouthfuls of food. the others nodded in agreement.
"thank you, my babies. i'm so pleased with the house, and especially with you, huening! you did an amazing job cleaning!" eunji's mother complimented him, and huening grinned, proud of himself.
"of course, he's been practicing for his future wife. such a gentleman." jimin teased, laughing with eunji as huening gave them a poker face, his cheeks puffed out with food.
"hold that pose!" jimin giggled, pulling out her phone to snap a picture of huening. "i'm posting this on my insta," she teased and the boy only rolled his eyes "you won't unless you want to risk your life," he calmly warned, continuing to eat. jimin just pretended to be scared, grinning mischievously.
"yah you two don't stop even when eating!" eunji's mother scolded and eunji laughed "they'd be fighting even when their life is on the line."
everyone knows friendships are made even sweeter with a few banters, right?
