[03] Getting Back in the Game

Minji spun around in her chair, slowly growing impatient. Yujin previously summoned her from her room where she was busy playing with the Lite-Brite she stole from someone's house out of impulse not too long ago. "This better be good, YJ."

She watches as the screen finally opens, and the profile of some blonde chick appears.

"What the hell is this?"

"Your scheduled meet, 8:00 PM."

Minji stared at the woman's features - her plump lips, doe eyes, and most especially, her golden locks. Damn was she a beauty. "Where'd you find her?" she asked.

"Rei tipped us," Yujin replied, moving to stand behind Minji. "-said she's available. She's in from Venice. Relocating stateside."

"Assassin?"

"Yup! I also heard she used to work for the CIA."

Interesting. Minji thought.

"Where's the meet?"

"It's at this restaurant called Les Deux Amours."

Minji appeared deep in thought, narrowing her eyes at the screen. "Cancel it," she then says, standing up from her seat and leaving the room. "Why?! It's all set up!"

Yujin follows Minji up the stairs, trying to catch up with the girl.

"Bro, you know I don't do blind dates!"

"Yeah, well, it's not a blind date if you know what they look like, okay?" Yujin counters. She did have a point, but it still wasn't enough to convince Minji. "Just tell her I'm not coming. Say I'm sick or something."

Desperate for her friend to find love, Yujin brings out the pep talk, "Come on, Minji, it's been two years. You have to get out there. Do I really have to get on my knees and beg?!"

Their walking comes to a halt and Minji turns to Yujin, eyebrows knitted, the word 'offended' just plastered all over her pale face. "I am out there! I, uhm, went out with that drummer, the girl from the band that talked really loud."

Excuses.

"No, you didn't go out with her. We all went out together and then you lied and said you had food poisoning, and you went home early!" Minji scoffed, there was no way she could defend that. The girl turned on her heels before proceeding to walk away once more, this time, to her bedroom.

Yujin sighed and followed the girl, "Look, I know what you're trying to do," her voice softened. "You're trying to drown yourself in your little schemes to destroy the world, but you need to get over it already, okay? You were dumped."

"I was not dumped," Minji defended, even though she was in fact, dumped. "Fine, you weren't."

"You were dumped hard."

"YUJIN!"

The latter chuckled, "You even took your time to go to Antarctica or whatever."

"Reykjavik. It's in Iceland," Minji corrects. "It doesn't matter where you went. It's time to get back in the game, Minji!" Yujin reaches her hands out to spin the villainess around. "You've got a date tonight with a gorgeous assassin, and you're going to show up."

Minji sighs, unable to look her friend in the eyes. "C'mon, Minji."

"Fine. I'll be there," she answers before turning to look through her closet.

"Just promise me you'll be open!" Yujin says from the doorway. "Open to what?"

With clenched fists and a determined look on her face, Yujin shouts with pride, "Open to love!" which undoubtedly earns an unamused glare from Minji.
