Moving On With You, Jinjoo

26: Taste Of You (M)

As the night wound down, the once-vibrant party now echoed with the soft murmur of farewells and laughter that had grown more subdued.

Yujin does her last wave to their friends whose rooms were in a different block from theirs.

The brunette had her fingers wrapped around the hem of Yujin's shirt, looking at two girls walking through the entrance of the building. It's like one was fetching the other in.

Wonyoung had her arm around the girl she entered with, a girl Minju found familiar. A girl she used to get all worried about, a girl Wonyoung adored unconditionally.

The younger girl saw Minju staring aimlessly and grasped her chilly hand. "Do you want to get on?"

With a grin on her face, Minju goes, "Get on?"

"My back," Yujin clarified and heard a soft snicker from the girl who indulged in a little more than she could handle.

"Oh, your back."

With a gentle and affectionate smile, Yujin hoisted Minju onto her back, careful with her movements. The brunette wrapped her arms around Yujin's neck, nestling her head against her shoulder.

When the younger girl stood upright, she felt a finger gently drilling into her cheek and heard Minju saying, "You are so tall." Her soft giggle filled Yujin's ears.

"I am so tall." The younger girl echoes her words. "Let's go, girlfriend." She starts navigating them through the now-quiet corridors, careful not to bump into furniture or walls.

Minju rested her cheek on her shoulder, looking at Yujin as if her eyes hadn't been stuck on her for the whole night. "Girlfriend?" The latter nodded. "I'm your girlfriend?"

Yujin peeked at her to see a smile curved on Minju's lips as they entered the lift. "You're my girlfriend." She assured.

"Finally?"

The younger girl hummed and gave her a kiss on her forehead to prove it. When it wasn't quite enough, she felt Minju's fingers slithering beneath her jaw, turning her chin slightly so she could press her lips against Yujin's.

That brief touch got Minju hugging her tighter, nudging her head against Yujin's.

"Do you like being called my girlfriend that much?" Yujin chuckles, having the brunette cling to her the whole night after putting a title on themselves.

It is as if Minju has been holding back her affection due to the uncertainty between them. Now that the floodgate was out of the way, Yujin has been experiencing a waterfall of emotions.

"Do you not like it?" The brunette frowned.

Yujin smiles, "How could I not like it after waiting for so long to call you my girlfriend?" She walks out of the lift. "It's more than liking it. It's a desire, a wish to be calling you my girlfriend. I don't make wishes anymore, not even on my birthday, but I found myself wishing for you."

Minju's heart quivered at her words as a smile hung off her lips.

As they reached the door of their room, Yujin tried settling her down but Minju clung to her tightly. "We're here."

"You're going to put me down?"

"The card is in my back pocket," Yujin said.

The older girl reached through the latter's back pocket and heard her laugh. She handed the card to Yujin, wrapping her legs around her once again. "I'm not coming down."
