I FOUND YOU (너 찾았어) ★ KARINA FF

#6 ★ Yu Jimin

(A/N: I know how ironic it is to call the chapter Yu Jimin when Winter is the first woman to be mentioned, but bare with me. Winter will be here for the 1/3 of the story. Enjoy!)

(Y/N's POV)

I unruffled my hair, straighten up my shirt, and smelled my breath. It's like the feeling you get when you're about to do your first job interview; speaking from experience here with my part-time job. I was hesitating to open the door, but Winter seems eager to see me. She kept on knocking despite knowing that I'm behind the door, standing there contemplating at my life decisions.

"W-wait... I'll open the door," I said as I slowly open the door revealing her in school uniform. Her face lit up when she saw me and she opened her arms and said, "Wah! I missed you!" It was both a nightmare and a blessing, but I let her hug me since it has been a few years since we saw each other. She embraced me tightly, and I can feel my stomach getting ready to burst from her hold.

"Too much," I said struggling to speak, and almost running out of breath. She noticed it and let go of me, and then Winter went into my apartment as if she's a family member. "Woah, I didn't say you could-" I said but she interrupted me when she saw Minmin, my cat.

She squealed and sat on the floor, leveling with my cat, and playing with her, but I was looking at her and mesmerizing how much she changed. Her eyes are as flawless as it was back then, her smile is different now but still charming, and the way she chuckles and laughs make it hard to think that she's still my friend. After all, I've only hung out with Kai and his friends.

While looking at her messing around with Minmin, I felt my cheeks heating up and my body slowly trembling. This feeling was something I remembered from back then, and she always had this same effect with me. 'The hell is wrong with me?' I asked myself as she noticed me, tilting her head as if she was confused.

"You're still the same Tomato!" She said smiling brightly at me and chuckling from what she's seeing. It felt like heart arrows hitting me in the heart, she knows how to tug my strings. But ever since we were a child, I've always thought of her as a younger sibling and not someone I can be with for the rest of my life, maybe it's because she treated me like her brother.

"Y-yeah, just..." I said averting my gaze from her feeling embarrassed, then I followed, "Why are you even here? How did you find me?" Upon asking those questions, I was a bit nervous since I never thought she would find me after all those years. We barely had any contacts for so long, so I'm kind of bummed how she found where I live.

"Ah, I'm here because I heard that you and your father had a figh," she said making a worried face as she sat in the hallway with my cat on her lap. "I heard it from my mom." Her voice has that tinge of worry and concern, and it was always like this when we were young. Every time I cry and can't hold in all of the pain that my family inflicts to me, she was always there worrying and comforting me.

"As for the other question, my friend told me to ask a guy named Kai," she said smiling at me. I was starting to blame Kai though, especially because he gave my address that pretty quickly. Well, he really likes Minjeong. "Then I saw you last night, and pinned point your apartment," she said as a smile quip from the edge of her lips, curling into a smirk. For me, it was kind of creepy but cool in a way.

"Stalker move," I said and scoffed. We talked for a few more minutes before I got ready for school. Apparently, she plans on walking with me to school and show all of the people there that we know each other. I thought, 'This feels like a publicity stunt.' A thought came into mind to when I started thinking of the male students and how they will react to this. Not only the male students, but also Kai who I know is head over heels for Winter.
