10 - Picnic

3rd person

"So... let me get this right."

Yunjin sighed, looking at Minji who was trying to process what she had just told her. Her cousin had asked how her and Kazuha's friendship was and Yunjin spilled everything from how much they text, call, and their most recent hangout.

"She literally likes you back, bro."

She felt like disagreeing, wanting to say that wasn't true but she realized that with the little acquaintances and friends she has, Yunjin never acted like that with them-and they don't do the things Kazuha does. Yunjin's thoughts went back to the day the Japanese fell asleep on her shoulder. She knew that if it was someone else, she would've woken whoever it was up or just simply pushed them away. Yunjin wasn't sure Kazuha would do the same if it weren't her, and that's what made it confusing for her.

"She never flirts with me..." Yunjin frowned, trying to remember a time where the other girl ever did something that she knew for sure friends wouldn't do.

Minji sighed, "It's not just about flirting, Yunjin," She said, "You'll get it sooner or later. Hopefully sooner."

Yunjin bit her lip, going back to look outside the window. The two were currently inside the local library. Yunjin wasn't there willingly, she hates books. She was only there for one reason.

"I'm back!"

The two cousins turned towards the voice with smiles that meant different things.

Well... originally, Yunjin had dragged Minji with her to the library in order to watch the Japanese girl from afar but their plan failed once Yunjin was immediately noticed. Thankfully, Kazuha didn't really question what the two were doing and instead suggested for them to join her.

Yunjin wasn't sure how Kazuha enjoyed reading. She, herself, couldn't even find the energy to even show up to a library, even the one at her school. At least we know Yunjin won't be owing any late return or book damage fees.

Kazuha had left the two cousins alone for a few minutes and that gave Minji enough time to ask Yunjin about her crush and time for Yunjin to explain everything.

"By the way, this is the first time I ever see you in here. I come here a lot," Kazuha commented, looking at Yunjin. Minji stifled a laugh, trying not to give her cousin out.

Yunjin noticed her and glared before turning back to Kazuha, "Actually, I love the library. I enjoy the vast selection of genres and books. I love exploring different genres-"

Yunjin was stopped when Minji laughed loudly, making Kazuha look at her, concerned. Yunjin blushed from emberassment, trying to look away from Kazuha once the girl looked at her. Kazuha smiled, realizing that the half American girl was lying, judging by Minji's expression.

"shh!"

Minji stopped cackling, calming herself down with deep breaths. She sighed, "Sorry, Yunjin."

Her cousin only gave her a disapproving look, making it clear she was disappointed by how she exposed her lie. Kazuha joked about Yunjin's attempt to lie before calmly taking a seat beside her which left Minji sitting in front of the two.

The three talked about random subjects, landing on the subject of crushes. Of course Yunjin tried her best to avoid it, but Kazuha insisted they talked about it. Minji only gave her cousin a shrug.

"So... we all know Minji likes Hanni. Any updates?" Kazuha gave shot her friend an expectant look, wanting to hear more about the girl's lovelife.

Minji's face turned pink, "Mmm... I think we both like each other. We're just taking it slow.. we're trying to go on more dates," She unlocked her phone when she heard a notification ting. Yunjin and Kazuha watched as the girl read the text with a smile before standing up.
