Peri's Place

I flopped back onto my sofa in exhaustion with my phone angled so my nostrils were visible. "Ugh! I don't think I'm coming out there tomorrow, Blu."
My sister sighed, shaking her head. "Of course, the one day I'm off and you're busy with your new man, like you can't just bring him by."
I rolled my eyes and just opened my window to let some air circulate, too exhausted and hot to explain our relationship to anyone in this family for the seven hundredth time. "Cobalt, please. Yoongi is not keeping me from visiting."
She squealed and I removed the earbuds from my ears, tempted to toss her directly at the wall. Mikey's ear perked up and he glanced at me as she spoke. "It is Yoongi!"
I sat up, suddenly a lot more awake. "You know Yoongi too? Why am I the only one just meeting him?"
She shrugged, fixing her hair and obviously using her phone as a mirror. "He and SeokJin used to visit all the time with Jon and their other friends."
"Mmhm...and who is Jon again?" I asked distractedly, just realizing she was wearing makeup and her hair was curled.
She looked innocently back at me as she answered. "Jimin's friend, the tall one with the slanted eyes and the dimples."
I frowned, walking towards my bedroom and removing my work uniform. "Namjoon?"
She made a sound as though suddenly realizing something. "Yeah! Him!"
I nearly dropped my phone. I cannot believe...
"That's who Cherry's been talking to?!"
Blu chuckled. "Yeah, you didn't...? Oh yeah, you weren't here when that happened."
"I-I mean she told me about him but I never met him, how weird would that be? Like I could tell the future: 'hey, I'm Charizma's older sister Periwinkle, hook me up with your friend but don't have sex with my sister unless you got a wedding ring attached to your dick.'"
Blu threw her head back laughing, falling back onto her bed. "You're disgusting! Why would he even- who would even?!"
I shrugged. "Taehyung look like he would, if I told him."
"Lucky Gen, huh?"
I smirked and my phone buzzed.
"I think I got a text."
Blu nodded, picking up a comb and running it through her bangs. "Okay. I'll talk to you later then."
"Why?" I asked incredulously. "Your future man coming over?"
Instead of blushing and stuttering like usual when I mentioned her "secret" crush she looked down. "No...he went somewhere with the guys and....Clementine. Again."
Usually when the weird love triangle started to slip into our conversations I tried to change the subject but I just felt...straightforward.
"You should just talk to him, or at least Clem. She is your cousin. Maybe she can help you, since talking to someone who isn't always there," I gestured to myself, "obviously isn't helping."
Blu simply nodded. "I guess."
My phone buzzed again and I glanced at the clock on my wall. "I'll talk to you later, I'm off tomorrow but I have stuff to do so I'm gonna get some sleep."
