BEHIND THE CAMERAS || WINRINA

"good morning" Jimin greet her members when she enters the car. Minjeong is sleeping peacefully at the middle row, Giselle and Ningning is at the back.

Al Of them grinning while looking at Jimin. Jimin understood what they meant and blushed. Minjeong didn't cover the love bite she left.

She sits next to Minjeong as they head to the hair salon. "You look fresh." Giselle said as she glance at Jimin. Jimin smile, "of course I sleep like a baby at my parents house."

Giselle laugh as they continue talking. Just then a notification pops up on Jimin phone making the both of them silent.

"Oh." Jimin said and type in something. Giselle is curious but she doesn't want to be nosy. "Unnie?" Minjeong voice is heard.

Both of them looks up and notice Minjeong who is now awake. Jimin smile and hugs her waist. "Hey baby." Jimin said and leans in to leave a kiss on Minjeong head. Minjeong smile and hugs her, hiding her face on Jimin shoulder.

Giselle smile at them and continue to do something on her phone, Ningning just stare outside the window.

"Did you miss me?" Jimin ask. Minjeong nods and snuggle closer to her.

"So my parents invited us for a family dinner. It's my dad's birthday" Jimin said. Minjeong only keeps quiet and listen. Her heart has been heavy the whole day and she doesn't know why.

"They invited us?" Giselle ask. Jimin smile and nods. Giselle stare at her friend in disbelief. "Or more specifically they invited me and Ningning." Giselle said.

Jimin stay quiet hearing what Giselle said. What Giselle said is indeed true.

Yu Residence
The Night Before

"So for my birthday. I think you should invite your members." Mr Yu said to Jimin. Jimin eyes light up hearing it she then takes out her phone to text Minjeong first.

But then a hand lowers her phone from her. It's her sister. "Um I think it's best if you...just tell them in person." She said. Jimin looks at her weirdly.

"I could just tell them now " Jimin said. "Your sister is right. Why not do it via text." Mr Yu smile. Jimin turns to her dad and smile.

They all remain silent as they watch Jimin smiling happily texting someone, which they assume it's her suitor.

"Honey?" Mrs Yu calls her. Jimin looks up at her and smile. "Yes mom?"

"I don't want to seem rude...I know she's also your group member. You guys went thru everything together-" Jimin started to get confused by what her mom said.

"Just straight to the point mom." Jimin said. Mrs Yu take a deep breath, "can you please not invite her?" She ask. Jimin eyebrows furrowed. "Who her?"

"That girl. I don't like her inside our house." Mrs Yu said. Jimin froze realising who they're talking about, "but she's also a part of the group" Jimin turns to her dad before looking back at her mom.

"You said invite my members." Jimin said. Mrs Yu sigh. "yes but we don't want her here. It's just disgusting you know what she tried to do to you." Mrs Yu expression is obvious. She is disgusted by Minjeong.

"I agree sweetie. I want to enjoy my party. Maybe you can invite your suitor. We will always welcome him here." Mr Yu said smiling widely.

Jimin remains silent thinking about her girlfriend.

End of Flashback

"No they didn't say that. They said my members. You guys is my members right so all of you is invited. None is the excluded." Jimin said. She's aware of what she has said will cause problems between her and her parents.

But she wouldn't let people treat her girlfriend like that. "So can you guys come?" Jimin ask after a few seconds of silence.

Minjeong bite her lower lip. She knows well that at this point her girlfriend family hates her, and she won't show her face where people don't welcome her.

She slowly holds her girlfriend hand and smile trying to hide the aching in her heart. "I would love to honey. But...I need to go back remember? It's been awhile since I last visit my family too." Minjeong said.

Jimin looks at her confused, "but you said it's next week?" Minjeong chuckle awkwardly. "Yeah...they switch the date" Minjeong said.

Jimin nods and smile at her girlfriend. "it's fine I'm sure dad will understand. I'll send him your regards." Minjeong smile and kiss her girlfriend cheek.

'i hope you don't Jimin.'
