Getting To Know Yu (Winrina)

¹⁰If it's not Yu, it's not anyone

Jimin stares at nothing.

The dating scheme was released today. As expected, it was all over the news and the internet. She is ought to stay at home for the rest of the week to avoid getting swarmed as per instruction by her manager and of course, their Chief Director. She was also told to turn off her phone and not to check any forums, sites, anything.

As if she would.

She can be reckless sometimes, yes. But Jimin is not the one who will deliberately put herself in a position that she knows would mess up with her head. She'd been in the system for half of her life. She has learned (the hard way) not to expose herself to haters and non-thinkers whose words cut deeper than a knife.

But of course, she's Jimin. She is not the one to be bossed around.

So she didn't turn off her phone as instructed.

But to her defense, it's more about Kim Minjeong than being defiant.

She wanted to give the girl a call the moment she learned about the release of the news. She knew it would spread like a wildfire and knowing she has a Ning Yizhuo by her side, for certain, Minjeong would have known about it by now.

But it's only the afternoon and Minjeong is in class. Jimin doesn't want to disturb her for something as...grave as this information.

So Jimin has no choice but to lounge in her living room and stare into nothing as she waits for the right time to call Minjeong. It might take her the whole day but it's alright.

Jimin is willing to wait.

She likes to think she had been good at it for the past week.

She was told to lay low, to think things through, Irene said that keeping out of the public's radar is the best thing to do while they sort out everything which basically included her nightly visit at the diner.

At first, Jimin resisted. Of course she did. She isn't Jimin if she wouldn't put up a fight.

But a few words about Minjeong and her privacy will be at risk Jimin, do you really want that and Jimin felt the spirit of resistance immediately leaving her body. It was both unfair and mindblowing because one mention of Minjeong's name and Jimin found herself submitting to the commands she wouldn't usually subject herself to.

You created this mess Jimin. The least you could do for the people around you, especially Kim Minjeong, is to lay low.

That's what she was told. That's what they made her believe. Jimin would be lying if she said it didn't bother her because it did.

A lot.

It was as if a full bucket of ice was poured in her seething desire to be with the girl and Jimin stood frozen, taken aback at the seriousness of it all. It would be the first time she would realize the gravity of the situation.

She then remembered Minjeong's resistance before. The girl didn't like her like that. Jimin was so sure she was the one who insisted on herself even though the girl didn't want anything to do with her.

Minjeong didn't want this kind of attention. She is an extraordinary girl who wants to live an ordinary and discreet life. She values privacy and independence. Being with Jimin would take away every bit of normalcy she is used to live with.

And Jimin hated herself for that.

Hated herself for being selfish. Hated herself for wanting to be happy.

Minjeong didn't sign up for the chaos that came along with being with her. The girl was living her life turmoil free before meeting Jimin. Now, with everything that is happening, Minjeong is right on the verge of losing that peace of mind all because of her association with a superstar she never even liked in the first place.
