"Did you get the snacks I sent you?" Karina Yu asks as Minjeong settles the chicken parmesan in front of her.
"Yes." The girl replies, sliding across the seat opposite of Karina Yu. "Was the comparison of the snacks to yourself necessary though?"
Karina Yu grins at the question, a look of pride plastered all over her face that Minjeong just badly wants to wipe away.
"Of course," the celebrity claims, "It was to motivate you to eat them diligently while you think of me," winking at the other girl as if to charm her more.
This earned a disgusted look from Minjeong. "I would almost gag every time I remember what you wrote. It didn't help at all, Jimin."
Karina Yu simply snorted, "Now why are you lying? I know my pretty face had been popping up in your head every time you took a bite of the delicious croissants."
Well, true.
In fact. Yu Jimin had been in Minjeong's head 24/7 as of late. The girl had somehow wormed its way inside Minjeong's mind and decided to make herself at home, settling down like a fearless occupant enjoying her space rent free.
But Minjeong would die first before she admits this fact out loud.
"Believe whatever you want to believe," Minjeong rolls her eyes, leaning back against her chair as she soaks in at the sight of Karina Yu in front of her, "But thanks I guess. I haven't thanked you properly for that."
It was Minjeong's way of asking the girl where had she been, considering that it has almost been a week since she visited the diner. Minjeong had prepared herself for the teasing she would get from Karina Yu about the snacks, expecting that the girl would show up the next day.
She didn't.
Minjeong would swallow the disappointment that came bubbling up her stomach every night when there was no sight of a tall, annoying celebrity appearing at the door of the restaurant.
She blames it on the croissants.
Minjeong reasons that she wanted to know where Karina Yu bought it so she can personally visit the pastry shop. But since the singer was absent for almost like a week, Minjeong wasn't able to ask her about it and was hopelessly left craving for the heavenly croissants after running out of the bread.
(Minjeong tells herself she was craving for the croissants only, not for a pair of beautiful feline eyes and arrogant mouth with a beauty mark beside it. Of course not.)
"Yeah, sorry about that. They gave me tons of things to do this week" Karina Yu says, catching on to the unspoken inquiry in Minjeong's statement. "I have been to voice lessons, photoshoots, interviews, variety show filming name it. I was all over the place so I couldn't come to hear you say that I am the best woman in the entire universe!" playfully finishing it with a waggle of her brows, though her pair of tired eyes gave away the fact that she was indeed been busy to the point of exhaustion.
Minjeong ignores the mischievous remark, "Have you at least been getting enough sleep?" frowning at the bags under Karina Yu's eyes that weren't there the last time she saw her. "What time do you usually finish?"
"Around 2AM? I get home around 3 depending on the distance from my schedule."
"And what time would you wake up?"
"5, 5:30.."
Minjeong found her jaw dropping at the revelation. "That's like 2 hours of sleep! How do you even survive that?"
Karina Yu just shrugged. "I'm used to it."
Minjeong isn't. "Well it's not healthy," she sighs, clearly disturbed at the lifestyle of the celebrity. "You should at least catch up on your sleep when you have time. Take some naps in-between breaks. You shouldn't even be here right now you should be sleeping."
