"Excuse me..?"
Minjeong is halfway through the queue when she feels a tug on her sleeve. She looks down to see a little boy around the age of six to seven, beckoning her to come closer.
"Hello there," She bends slightly to get herself at his eye level. "What's gotten you here, kiddo?"
He looks reluctant to speak, glancing behind like he's expecting someone to be there. Minjeong instead smiles to encourage him.
"I just want to say that," He stops to look up at her. "I think your girlfriend is really pretty."
Minjeong's brows jump at the boy's words. My girlfriend? Since when did Minjeong ever have a girlfriend? The last time she took a liking in someone was back in, like, what, third grade? She has no idea but it's been a long while.
"My girlfriend?"
The boy nods and then turns his head, bringing his little pointer finger up to aim somewhere behind them.
Minjeong breaks out into a smile when she realizes just who this boy is speaking of. "Ah, her? Yeah, she is really pretty."
Yu Jimin sits on the blanket Minjeong found somewhere in the corner of her car. In her hands are a pen and a notebook. Jimin likes to journal. It's a hobby she picked up from high school and has kept till this day. Minjeong always tells Jimin to thank her since she was the one who pushed Jimin into journalism.
Jimin has earbuds in, listening to all those bands she likes. Minjeong has pretty much memorized all of their weird names-like Red Velvet and whatever the hell SNSD is supposed to mean. She knows which songs Jimin likes the most, knows which songs to play on drives with Jimin. She knows what type of songs Jimin likes and will always recommend to Jimin songs that remind her of Jimin.
Jimin's hair is being blown by the breeze. She looks like a supermodel, or maybe a celebrity, perhaps. Minjeong isn't surprised but she's always mesmerized by the view. Jimin's face is a work of art made by God Himself, and Minjeong can't help but think that God does indeed have favorites. Jimin can do anything and still look amazing, while she can look like a fish out of water just by jogging up a flight of stairs.
Jimin is amazing, beautiful, alluring, enthralling, adorable, attractive-all of the above. Jimin is everything.
Well, everything but one thing.
"Want to know a secret?"
The little boy nods without missing a beat. So Minjeong leans closer, cups a hand around her mouth and whispers in his ear.
"She's actually not my girlfriend yet."
Minjeong isn't stupid. It didn't take her long to realize she's developed feelings for her best friend. Although she still has no clue when it started and how, a voice in Minjeong's head tells her that it's been long before they even grew this close.
