as minjeong made her way to the cafe, she wondered to herself, what was she doing? it takes ning so much convincing to get minjeong out, but with jimin it was simple. it was easy. as she arrived, she saw jimin and approached her.

"hey" minjeong said as she sat

"hey minjeong, i'm glad you came" jimin replied with a smile

"i was just studying and taking a break anyway, what brings you here?" she asked

"sometimes i like to come here and either work or i like to people watch. see what other people are doing. sometimes i come here just to draw, it's a nice place for me to go, it's comforting, and i like being here"

"i was just expecting you to say you like their coffee, but that works too" they both laughed

"i mean yes, the coffee is a bonus, and really good here i can't lie about that"

"this might sound rude, but it's just curiosity.. why did you ask me to come here?" minjeong asked, she knew no matter how she worded it, it would sound rude.

"i just wanted to get to know you more. and also aeri is with ning. i figured if they'd start to be spending more time together i could.. maybe.. spend more time with you" she shyly ended her sentence.

"that's cute. and yeah, even though i like my alone time, it'll be weird when ning isn't around 24/7 bothering me"

"tell me about it, it'll actually be quiet" they both laughed talking about their friends.

"so.. tell me about yourself, minjeong. i want to know who you are" jimin said

"umm, what do you want to know?" minjeong asked

"anything, favorites, things you like to do, things you hate, just anything. i want to know you"

"hmm, okay. well, i'm 22, i was born on january 1, 2001, i'm an only child, and i've always kind of just felt better on my own. which is why i try not to make new friends. i just feel calmer and more at peace, and sometimes i get overwhelmed at the thought of having friends. i don't know if it's because i just grew up an only child, or if i just like my alone time. ning and i have been friends for as long as i can remember, honestly it was a miracle that she got me out of my shell even a little bit... but that was because she was pestering me.. i've always been interested in the entertainment industry, it's surprising because my dream was to be an idol.. but i'm too scared of the attention.." she was about to continue on until jimin interrupted her.

"i think regardless you should go for it. you have an amazing voice, minjeong, and i think the whole world should hear it. i'll be your number one fan for sure" jimin smiled at minjeong, and something about it made minjeong wonder if she should still follow her dreams.

"okay and what about you? you have an amazing voice too! i mean, it's crazy beautiful." minjeong complimented jimin, to then see her become a blushing mess.

"i've thought about it, but i don't know. maybe one day, if that's what lines up for me in the future, it'd be nice. however, for now, it's art. i like being creative and expressing my creativity."

"maybe i could see your art one day?" minjeong asked, with nervousness in her voice

"i'd love to show you" jimin replied with a smile

"and i'd love to see it. i'm sure you're very very amazing and talented at art, just as you are everything else"

"you hype me up too much"

"i'm serious, you're perfect, i'm sure everything you do is perfect too, jimin." she became shy after saying that, but was wondering where the boldness came from.

"thank you, min, i'm sure everything you do is perfect too." minjeong started blushing at her comment, and tried to hide her face to avoid jimin from seeing her redness.

"okay, but enough about me, i told you about myself and now it's your turn. who are you, yu jimin?" minjeong asked with a raised eyebrow to give more of a dramatic effect.

"okay, well i'm 23, i was born on april 11, 2000, umm i'm an art major, i just find painting and drawing to be relaxing. and like i said before, i want to be able to express myself creatively. there's so much that's in my head, and i want to get it out, but i don't want it to be worded. i want it to be visualized through art. i also like to dance, not like ballet, but like hip-hop and pop i guess. i think it's fun, it's a good work out too." she slowly ended her words, because she couldn't think of anything else to say about herself.

"i've always wanted to try dancing, but again, too scared to do that in front of other people." minjeong said

"well, if you're not too scared of me, i'd be happy to teach you what i know" jimin replied

"hmm.. i don't know, you have cat eyes they kind of scare me" minjeong joked

"wow alright, is that how we're playing it now?" jimin sarcastically scoffed.

"nope, i suppose i wouldn't mind letting you teach me how to dance. however, you're going to have to convince me one day. i won't do it unless you rip me away from my studying. are you up for that challenge? ning can barely get me away from my studying" minjeong challenged.

"i mean, i got you here didn't i? i think it'll be pretty easy." jimin smirked, accepting minjeong's challenge.

"you only got lucky because i was already taking a break. let's see if you can get me when i'm not." minjeong replied back. just as jimin was about to reply, she noticed the time and noticed that the cafe was about to close.

"we should get going, they're going to close soon" jimin said

"oh yeah, hold on let me clean this up. i don't like leaving things messy i always feel bad" minjeong said

"i can do it, i was the one sitting here for the majority of today anyway" jimin tried to stop minjeong from doing it all, but she wasn't successful.

"nope. too late, i'm doing it already" minjeong said. jimin giggled at the gesture, and once she finished cleaning up, they headed out. minjeong was ready to walk back home, that was until jimin spoke up.

"i'm walking you home, i don't want you to walk home alone." hearing that made minjeong's heart flutter a little. she wasn't sure why she was feeling this way, but she just brushed it off. they headed home and continued to talk about random things. it was nice, minjeong enjoyed her company, and for once, she actually wanted to spend more time getting to know jimin. as they approached minjeong's apartment, minjeong let jimin know that this was her stop.

"thank you for coming today, and for talking with me. i had a nice time, minjeong." jimin said

"thank you for inviting me. i had a nice time too" they smiled at each other

"is it okay if i ask for a hug?" jimin asked, minjeong just nodded her head and they wrapped their arms around each other. neither of them wanted the hug to end, but they knew it was time to separate.

"goodnight jimin, you have my number, so please let me know when you get back to yours" minjeong said

"i will, i promise. goodnight minjeong" jimin said, minjeong turned around to make her way to her apartment, and jimin walked away with a huge smile on her face.
