Getting To Know Yu (Winrina)

¹²Minjeong's heart is wherever Yu are

Time zones.

As far as a sleep induced, thesis-wrecked and a Jimin-deprived Kim Minjeong is concerned, time zones are the worst thing to ever exist in the entire universe alongside capitalism and kiwis (because she is allergic to kiwis and she hates not being able to eat a thing because of her allergies.)

Time zones are quickly becoming Minjeong's archnemesis and it's not looking good.

"The last time I saw you sulk like that, it's because of Karina unnie," comes Yizhuo's sleepy remark across her. "I'm guessing she is the same reason you look like a moping maltese again?"

The two of them are spending a late night at the university library. Yizhuo has three sets of paper due the following day and she insisted on Minjeong tagging along because I need your brain for further input unnie come on I will bring lots of snacks for us to eat.

Minjeong wanted to argue that students are not allowed to eat inside the library but decided against it. Arguing with Yizhuo has always been a lost cause anyway.

(And she was sold the moment Yizhuo mentioned snacks. Turning down free food is undeniably the dumbest move anyone could pull and Minjeong is anything but dumb.)

"I'm not a moping maltese," Minjeong grumbles exactly like a moping maltese. "And it's not really her. It's more about the stupid time difference."

"What about it?" Yizhuo asks mid-yawn.

"It." Minjeong murmurs, glaring at her still pitch-black phone that she had been eyeing for over two hours, "Why can't every place just have the same time across the world? Why does it have to be different on each country?"

Ever since Jimin's tour started, Minjeong had to adjust to the substantial changes that followed through. No more 10PM rendezvous at Yeri's office; no more Sunday free time extravaganza that involved Jimin spending the rest of the day at Minjeong's apartment with fur babies Myong and Myang, no more stolen kisses and comfy cuddles within the confines of spaces away from the public eye.

Smirking and annoying Jimin in flesh almost felt like a fever dream for Minjeong.

Above all, it's the varying time zones that she had to adjust with the most.

At first, it wasn't demanding because the time differences among the countries included in the Asian leg of the tour are relatively smaller (one to three hours tops). Jimin could still sneak in an hour or two of talking with each other before or after the concert and Minjeong used her favorite employee card on Yeri so she could end her shift earlier than usual.

("You will never speak of this to anyone especially Haechan. Just tell them you're busy with your thesis that's why I'm letting you off."

"I am busy with my thesis."

"I know. But you're also busy with Jimin; hence, all this jazz."

"N-not really. I'm also gonna use this time to work on my thesis, unnie."

"Still a denial queen, I see."

"But it's true!"

"Sure Minjeong."

"Unnie!")

But when the American leg kicked off, that's when it became a little bit of a headache for Minjeong. The one to three-hour time difference had ballooned into more than twelve hours and Minjeong was suddenly a day ahead from Jimin. That is something a couple shots of espresso and her favorite employee card cannot make do; Minjeong almost felt like she was experiencing jetlag despite not leaving Korea since birth.
