Dreams of Arcadia

38

Minji PoV

When I woke up, I was actually expecting a stabbing headache and a residual alcohol plume, but I felt fine. I had once again blocked out the fact that I was dead and a hangover no longer existed for me... just like I would never get my period again, which I certainly wasn't complaining about. Bora was still snoring next to me and someone was lying on my legs. A glance at him showed me that it was the guy Bora had cheerfully swapped spit bacteria with yesterday... Seonghwa. With difficulty, I pulled my legs out from under him and looked around the room... but I wished I hadn't, because in the other corner lay Park Jinyoung and Choi Youngjae, slumbering peacefully... oh great... you wish for your ex to die and he really does, following you to your peaceful afterlife...

"Baby..." Jinyoung had opened his eyes and looked at me with a smile.

"Yah... don't call me that... I have nothing to do with you anymore." I grumbled at him, having absolutely no interest in talking to him.

"Please, listen to me... I'm sorry..." he started again, but I just left the room. Minho met me in the corridor outside and, as the door was still open, I simply held him by the wrist and kissed him passionately. And although I attacked him like that, he just went along with it, pulled me closer to him and put his arms around me possessively. His lips traveled along my chin to my ear.

"He looks like he's about to murder us." he whispered in amusement and I looked at him in irritation.

"Good morning darling... I'm sorry I wasn't with you, I put you with Bora and then I had to help Kibum at the party... and until just now, I collected all the drunks with Jin and Daesung and put them on mattresses... I made breakfast for us." he said and pulled me by the hand towards the kitchen, while we heard angry mumbling from behind.

"Oh my God... Minho... Thank you... but how do you know...?" came out of me in surprise when we were in the kitchen.

"Well... you tell everything to Y/N about you and your life, she tells everything to Kibum and Kibum tells everything to me.... So I'm well informed about the Kim Minji - Park Jinyoung drama. Then I saw the look on his face and realized what you're up to. How long do you want me to play your lover?" he asked, which surprised me a lot.

"Until he realizes that I won't take him back even if hell freezes over?" I suggested and he chuckled.

"Well... I've got time... like forever... and I've got nothing better to do right now." he explained, which made me smile brightly at him.

"That's really nice of you." I said gratefully, but he waved me off.

"Oh come on, I get something out of it too... we'll have dates every day now and post our couple pictures in the group chat, it'll be fun... Maybe we'll find a partner in crime to make videos of his reactions." he mused as he chewed on a piece of melon he had just taken from the table. I laughed at his enthusiastic expression before taking some of the fruit myself.

"Ah, I'll do that... Jinyoung hyung used to let me clean the dance studio when our bands still had to share one... and he pushed me into JYP's office when I wouldn't take his pudding from the break room... I had a three hour lecture from the fatal autotune legend... then he personally gave me dance lessons... I had Sunmi's part in When we Disco... the worst dance I ever had to do and he grabbed my ass too..." Jisung had come in and overheard our conversation, but his offer of help was more than welcome... Jinyoung was really gathering people who swore revenge on him... Maybe it was the name?
