Chapter Twenty Five

"Minji, you look so down. Did something happen?" asked Y/n as she looked at Minji through the mirror. She could see the oldest member lost in her thoughts. They were currently driving to the company because Minji would have a photoshoot for Chanel. Y/n called out once again, "Minji?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. You're good at it anyway."

"Sorry, what was that? Can't quite hear you."

"It's nothing, just don't mind me." Y/n decided to give the girl some space. Then, a bright idea crossed her mind. Maybe it would cheer up Minji, but if it didn't work, at least she tried. Y/n smiled at the thought of this. Minji, who happened to see the way Y/n smiled, furrowed her eyebrows.

She's probably thinking about Hanni again Minji thought, feeling a churning inside her stomach.

In the photo room, just like the one where Hanni had her shoot but a bit bigger, Y/n took a seat, giving Minji some space. Y/n started planning for later, not bothering Minji. They are now starting, Minji, posing effortlessly, noticed Y/n smiling in the corner again. She rolled her eyes, deciding to focus on being professional.

After a while, Y/n saw Minji taking a break. Y/n didn't ask if Minji wanted food because she had a plan. She wanted to take Minji to a ramen place, then get ice cream and walk in the nearby park. Checking her watch, Y/n realized they only had an hour left. She couldn't contain her excitement and started doing a little dance.

This caught Minji's attention. At the end of the day, she still adored Y/n, unsure if she should be annoyed or not.

Why does she gotta be cute? Minji huffed in annoyance.

With the photo shoot officially wrapped up, Minji couldn't shake off the thought. Hanni had mentioned how Y/n always bought her food during shoots. Was Hanni really that special to Y/n? It stung a bit that Y/n hadn't even bothered to ask Minji if she wanted food, even though she didn't feel like eating. It would have been nice for Y/n to ask, at least.

As Y/n approached Minji, the older girl quickly masked her feelings with a small smile. Watching Y/n walk towards her, Minji felt her heart skip a beat. It was as if time stood still, and everything around her faded into a blur, leaving only Y/n in focus.

Confused by her own feelings, Minji thought, "What is she doing to me?" She didn't like feeling this way about Y/n.

"Hey, Minji. Come on, let's go," Y/n said, picking up the bags Chanel had gifted. Minji simply nodded, clutching her handbag, and followed Y/n out of the building and into her car.

Y/n opened the passenger seat for Minji, causing Minji to furrow her eyebrows in confusion. As far as she knew, Y/n wasn't supposed to let a member sit in the passenger seat during work.

"It's fine, I asked permission from Sajang-nim," Y/n said. Minji nodded slowly and got inside. Y/n closed the door for her and went to the driver's seat. Minji wondered, did Y/n really ask permission from their boss just to let her sit in the passenger seat?

Minji's eyes widened as she realized Y/n was leaning in front of her. She watched as Y/n reached out for something.

"Sorry, I just put your seatbelt on because I've been calling you like three times but you were zoning out," Y/n explained. She managed to plug in the seatbelt and then leaned back, ready to drive.

The drive was smooth and quiet. Minji shot a look at Y/n when she was supposed to turn left, but this time she turned right.

"Are you going to buy something?" Minji asked, Y/n shook her head, enjoying the confusion written on Minji's face

"Where are we going?" Y/n gave her a smug smile before answering, "Somewhere..."
