Fate part 2

Chapter 207

Mina's P.O.V.
"Don't eat that. It's still raw!"
I slapped Jimin's hand.
"Want to catch salmonella? I don't want Yoongi-ssi on my back for my food getting you sick."

"Listen to your dongsaeng. She's right, except for one thing."
Oh, really? What?
"She'll be more upset at herself than I'll ever be."

"You have a point, hyung. Sorry, Mi. I'm just so hungry!"

I pointed at the table.
"If you set the table, I'm sure something will be ready for you to taste."

A nudge from the eldest made Jimin open the drawers to get the utensils.
"I brought what y.."
Aww, come on. I think I caught you asked for? Am I right? I turned around.
"The pastries, I bought them."

I saw the box. I did get that correct!
"Right, thanks. I'll put them on top of the fridge. Can't risk Mushu having a bite."
Urgh. Why now? My hands are occupied. I can't-

"Let me do it."
Yoongi took the box from my hands and prompted it up as I planned to do. That felt so out of character.
"What? You paused, forehead against the fridge. Was I supposed to do nothing?"

Well.. I guess not.
"I appreciate it."
I sat on my clean counter, back of my head against the wall.
"I need a minute."

He leaned on the counter facing mine.
"Has anything to do with that new thing?"
He motioned at his right side.
"It's acting up?"

Can't you forget I said anything about it.
"I mentioned it to you once on a sappy drunken night at Jimin's."

"Your point being?"

Don't make me say it.
"Why do you care?"

"You're my friend."
That.. stunned me more than I thought.
"I've kept the secret, have I not? I'm not the person who'll treat you like a child. I joke about you being one because.. you're the only one not in her thirties here, let's be honest. But, you have enough of your boyfriend and Janyoung doing that."
He hesitated.
"What you said didn't fall into a deaf ear, if you know what I mean."

I couldn't help, but laugh being slightly disgusted at the low jab.
"Ouch? You went there, really?"

A small smile.
"Too soon?"

"Yeah."
I mean..
"At this point, you might be right."
I got off my spot to check on my food.
"Jimin-ah! Chicken's ready."

The angry eyeroll.
"Come on, now. What happened?"
I told him after his dongsaeng left with the plate.
"That's not good. Isn't one thing about the genetic condition the flexibility of the membrane reducing?"

How do you remember that much? I'm kind of glad. Jimin remembers NOTHING of that night a month or so ago.
"Pretty much. Mind if we don't speak of that now? The week was rough. I want good energy."

"I can get that. I'm not the positive sunshine type. Text me if you want to meet over a drink and let your drunk ass speak for you? I didn't know how private you were until that night."

"Can't know if I don't tell, that's the point! But, yes. Definitely."
Were we expecting someone else?
Did I hear that right? Yoongi took the plate from my hands.

"Go, check. I'll put that where it belongs."

I opened the door.
"Hey Min-"

"MEG! My God! Didn't you say Monday? Girl!"
I hugged my friend so tight.
"I missed you so much! SO MUCH."
I looked by her side.
"I missed you too, oppa."

"You better! We caught an early flight. Too excited."
Kookie finally got the hug he wanted.
"Tae hyung! Set your camera, all the girls are here!"

That's what he brought it for!

Namjoon's P.O.V.
I forgot how competitive my partner was.
"Oh, yeah? Duel with me! Right now."

"It's just a racing game."
The mistake I made!

ALL of the maknaes turned to me, the five of them.
"It's NOT."

"Leave the kids to their shenanigans. Come here."
Don't scold me, Suga hyung.
"I'm not the grim reaper, chill. I was curious."
Him? Curious? What about? A recipe?
"Did you get the okay? Will you have time?"

"The performance? No, the slots for the award shows are booked, but we can still film at a few spots and do a very well staged one."
I'd make sure it's as good as our stage together, she and I. I already started to practice!
Uhmm..
"Think it counts as a Christmas gift?"

"She's not Christian, what about Christmas?"
He laughed. What's up with him?
"I'm messing with you. I'm sure it will, but still get something else. She goes overboard on gifts. We all know it."

She does like the gesture of it. It makes her happy.
"I'll make sure it's great, but I think Hybe is giving her the best gift."
He leaned in so I could whisper.
"They're renewing her contract, so her visa is getting renewed."

A satisfied nod.
"That's great news for the two of you then."

Yes it is!
"Her car is coming by boat. It should be here before January."

"Will you still be a passenger princess?"

"For the 100th time, I have my license!"
.
.
.
"I never thought we could fit this many people in here. Did you?"

I didn't! Our place was huge, but still.
"Next time we're that big of a crowd, it's Kookie's turn to host."

Min laughed.
"That'll happen soon enough...But let's save the smaller meet-ups for us, okay?"

You complained about helping your family when they host and you're eager to do so with us?
"Sure thing. We're clearly going to have a few in the next year."
I HAD to repeat it in my head.
We had another year.

Her grin was HUGE.
"Can this get any better?"

Well..
"I have a proposition."
The stars in her eyes.. My few hours of practice with Jimin were worth it.
"How does that sound?"

"You learned a choreography for me?"

Not any choreography.
"Correction, I learned Troublemaker for you-"

Her hug had the air sucked out of my lungs.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!It's gonna be great!"

I don't think anyone was ready for this.
