Unknowingly [Park Jimin]

U

"You scared the hell out of me!" I shouted at Jimin who was standing by the doorway with his hands crossed on his chest. "It's not my fault you get scared a lot." He scoffed and I simply rolled my eyes. "C'mon. Let's go now." He grabbed my hand and brought me to his car.

5 minutes in the car, we were silent. I turned to him and asked, "Where exactly are we going?" He continued driving, and pretended not to hear what I said. I punched his arm lightly, or maybe a little too hard that made him jump a bit. "You don't have to know." He answered in a quite annoyed tone as his free hand rubbed his hurt arm.

"I'm your passenger and not knowing where we're going means you're kidnapping me." I sassed at him.

He decided not to answer my question and I let him be. Sometimes, Jimin can be secretive but I still manage to know his plans anyway. Today is Jimin's birthday and I've been kind of mean to him since this morning. I thought that annoying him won't be a great birthday gift so I kept my mouth shut throughout the ride.

"Eh, you're untalkative today. It honestly scares me." He raised his shoulders as he said it was creeping him out. "I'm trying to be nice." I spoke in the softest tone I could. "And you're well-mannered too." He added which made me raise my brow. "So, you mean, I'm not well-mannered all the time?" I questioned, glaring at him. He nodded and bit his bottom lip. "Jimin, I'm trying to be nice, okay?" I talked through my clenched teeth. "But you don't have to be nice. I like you like that." He blurted out.

My heart stopped and began thumping in an uneven rhythm. "Hah, you're really full of humor." I said nervously. He looked at me as he diverted his attention from the road. "I'm not kidding." He spoke in a serious tone. I didn't know if he was serious or if he's just playing around. I laughed it off and thank God, the stoplight went green and I scolded Jimin for not looking at the road.

We continued driving until we reached our destination - the beach. I knew Jimin would bring me here because he liked it so much. He likes it when his feet are buried in the sand. The smell of the ocean was his favorite scent out of all, even more than vanilla or cinnamon. He loved it when the sunlight caresses his skin and of course, the sunset he loved staring at at around 6 o'clock after his shift has ended.

I followed his figure with my eyes as he ran across the beach, his feet getting stuck in deep sandholes every now and then. This was the Jimin I came to like.

In a few minutes, he made his way to me, realizing that I wasn't going after him. "Why are you not running with me?" He held my right hand and pulled me causing me to run with him. "In the movies, this is the part...When couples shout I love you." He paused in between his words to catch his breath. I followed his eyes as they travelled to the view in front of us, the sunset.

The sun slowly disappeared and the skies became grey. "I love Yoon Hyeji!" He shouted out of the blue that made me widen my eyes and at the same time, my heart raced again.

His shouting has been going on for a minute and it was honestly starting to terrify me. Like, how many diaphragms does he have and how many lungs does he breathe oxygen from? A moment later, I felt like I was being shook, not by Jimin though.

"ARE YOU WAKING UP?" The stern high-pitched scream into my ear made me jolt up from bed. I furrowed my brows at my older sister, Hyejeong, ready to shout right back at her. Then my head began throbbing in pain. I massaged my temples to relieve the ache but it only made a slight difference.

Images of an unknown person flashed in my mind the minute I shut my eyes.

A chocolate-haired man smiled at me, his eyes no longer visible. His smile made my insides warm.

"Are you okay?" Hyejeong pressed my cheeks lightly with the palm of her hands. "I think you have a fever." She concluded as she felt the burning heat on my skin. "I'm alright. Don't worry about me." I reassured her then I stood and proceeded to the bathroom.

It's probably because I did a K-Drama marathon for 8 hours straight. My head still pounded but not as severe as earlier .

Today, Hyejeong and I are paying a visit to her shop that's about to open in a week. She's been really busy these past months so I promised her yesterday that I'd help her out with the business since I was on vacation and had no plans at all. It's a pretty funny and clever business idea, it's a place where you can socialize with strangers. No phones, no books, or things that'll keep you from interacting with others.

As a somewhat introvert, it's ironic that I'm helping out with this kind of business. People will get to talk about their problems, share stories about their lives with others and most importantly, food. However, the catch was they only get to order a meal if they find a partner, a stranger who's willing to share food with them. Well, it's not like people care about your life stories, honestly, they just want food and to tweet that they've been here before.

It's going to be a long day and it's going be great! Be an optimist, Hyeji, be positive. I'm so ready to be bossed around by Hyejeong, my favorite sister (more like, had no choice.)
