Limbo - lee Minho ff

Start of new beginnings

Seoul : 2016

Tired ..
I'm tired .
The past minji would hate me for what I've become, a stupid , petty 17 year old who only ever spends time at the studio , perfecting dance .
The past minji , the smarter one , would want me to liven up, do something while I'm still young .
But I can't .
Dance calls me , my body . It takes over my mind endlessly .
I've got no real friendship , no real people to lay my head on their shoulder . I'm alone , in a country foreign to me ..

{jisoo is calling ....}

My face brightens . Jisoo was always there for me , and is always there when I need her . I answer the call, smiling to myself , continuing to drag my body to my apartment , my bones achy.

Jisoo - 'minji , hi!'
'Hey jisoo, what's up?'
Jisoo- 'a new bar opened on 3rd, wanna go?im not taking no as an answer, you always say no to me, you need to let loose! Your young, set yourself free, just tonight ?'

I mentally frown, I hated bars , I disliked alcohol and drunk people . But jisoo was .. right? For once , jisoo was right , she knew I was cracking under the pressure to get my dream job.

'Sure. Let me get home and I'll get dressed'
Jisoo gasped audibly
'Wait what...?'
'Huh.? I thought you wanted me to come'
'No no no! I do, but I'm .. forget it. I'll pick you up in 20 yeah?'
I hummed in response , before putting the phone down , grabbing my keys and opening my front door..

- twenty minutes later -

After around 20 minutes, minji opened the bathroom door, in a simple but chic dress .

She was applying some lipgloss to her plump lips, when she heard a knock at the door..

{Time skip}
<At the bar>

Jisoo ushered minji into the bar , close to Seouls busy city Center.
Jisoo- ' seriously, you lot hot as fuck. Like I'm contemplating my own sexuality'
Minji looked at her, before blowing her a kiss
'Love you jisoo, your such a hype girl'

They walked in, the music was booming and most people looked drunk.
It was  6pm on the Friday, so the duo weren't surprised that there were so many people and teens here .

(Author note - I just realised that minji is too young to drink ! But , we'll just skip past that!)

The pair took a seat at the bar, before ordering two vodka cranberry's, and taking a sip.
'Minji, you need to mingle babe, you've been single for agessss, you need a pick-me-up from all that dance your doing' she sighed , clearly worried for the younger's mental state .
'Unnie, I'm fine. I'm totally good with just getting wasted tonight , no lovers involved' she said, smiling at her elder.

That's when a young male sat beside her, ordering a whiskey. Her arm brushed his , causing the drink to spill , and she quickly apologised.
'Oh my, I'm so sorry' she said , her mouth agape , with a small hand infront of it.
'Aish, don't worry' the boy smiled. Minji was staring at him, his beauty was hypnotic. His small eyes that where shaped like half moons where shining brightly , and his round lips where full. She quickly adverted her gaze, not wanting to seem odd.

Jisoo looked at her..
jisoo hadn't seen minji in a relationship for around 3 years. She was so fixated on the dream of being a dancer, she ignored most male attention. And she got a lot of it .
She smiled at her younger , before whispering :
'I'll leave you, make some friends ,mhm?'
Minji smiled, and nodded , before jisoo slipped away.

The male looked at her, she was still sipping on her drink, trying to stay atleast half sober .

'Your incredibly pretty, m'lady , I must say'
He smiled, not turning to look at her.

(Okay why am I getting serious Deja vu from miraculous ladybug 🧍‍♂️, okay enough author talk)

She turned to face him, glass still in hand , smiling
'Thank you' she bowed her head a little , as he turned to face her

'May I know the name to the pretty face?' He smiled back, his eyes slightly scrunched in the corners
'Minji, and you are?'
'Im Minho, but most people call me lee know, either's fine'
She nodded slightly , Minho huh?
She was caught looking at his body, he was definitely good looking , no doubt about it.
He had a skinny waist , but rather buff looking.
He caught her staring , but didn't want to make her uncomfortable, instead he adverted his gaze , chuckling to himself .
'How old are you , minji?' He said, playing with the rim of his glass
'17, and you?'
He raised a brow, she wasn't that old after all.
'I'm only 18, actually' he smiled
She smiled back, he was definitely young, but so handsome.
"I'm a dancer , what do you do?"
He stopped, before looking at her dead in the eye
'Your a dancer?'
She nodded , before taking a small sip of her drink
'Me too! '
She laughed a little , clearly feeling a little tipsy .
'I've always wanted to be an idol, actually . It seems unreachable , but if you put your mind to it , I suppose anything's possible' he said, looking at her, feeling a little more drunk  than he should be.
'An idol? Woah, that's cool, there super hard working , so I suppose you work a lot'
He nodded, and continued the conversation ..

The follow up to this conversation included a steamy night, one both wouldn't forget..

The connection of two souls :
Two souls who where fated to meet again
The connection you may ask?
A small girl, called Kim Hana would rekindle the fire that had been lit 5 years prior, in an attempt to save her parents from the limbo .
