Lust Of Innocence | Park Jimin

Chapter Seven

•Lust of Innocence•

It was Nari's cleaning day and she was wiping down the counter with her rubber gloves during the late Friday afternoon. It had been an uneventful past few days ever since she last saw Jimin, so she spent her time studying, however, the stuffiness of her apartment was too much to bear. Taking off her rubber gloves, she inhaled a deep breath and leaned her back against the counter in exhaustion. Her eyes met the couch and she inwardly smiled as she imagined herself sitting back and relaxing for a bit before she puts away the dishes that just finished being cleaned in the dishwasher.

About to make her way to the sofa, she was interrupted when there was a loud knock on the door. She let out a frustrated groan and walked towards the door with her shoulders slumped. Swinging the door open, she was met with an excited face and was tackled in a suffocating hug. Her first instinct was to push the intruder away and attempt to kick their ass, but that plan was thrown out the window when the hug was broken and she sighed in relief when her best friend's face came into view.

Putting a hand on her chest, Nari breathlessly said, "Don't hug me, I'm disgusting," Chae-Rin let out a small giggle and eyed her from head to toe, almost laughing out loud at her friend's baggy shirt and sweatpants that she wore. The ponytail she tied her hair into had strands of hair sticking out from all sides, which didn't help her image. Chae-Rin let herself in and slumped down on the sofa as if it were her own home and said, "Be glad it was me and not someone else. No one deserves the torture of witnessing your current state."

The brown-headed girl glared at her behind her back and sat down next to her while sarcastically replying, "Haha, very funny," Chae-Rin stared at her with her eyes gleaming and waited for Nari to ask her the question of the day. She rolled her eyes and asked, "How was the honeymoon?" Chae-Rin smiled brightly and sighed, "Ah, it was everything I ever imagined! Manila was beautiful and Min-Ho was so romantic! By day, he treated me like a princess, but by night," She wiggled her eyebrows at the younger girl and Nari tilted her head in confusion until she caught on and blurted out, "Gross! Too much information!"

The black-headed woman laughed and flicked her friend's forehead, "I didn't say anything of the sort. You just have a dirty mind," Nari grimaced in disgust and replied, "Do not! Anyway, let me put the dishes away and we can talk more, yeah?" The older woman was about to reply until the cell phone that was on the coffee table went off and Nari quickly grabbed the phone and opened the text conversation. As she was walking behind the couch slowly to go to the kitchen, she grinned at the message. About to reply, the cellular device was snatched out of her hand from behind. She twisted around to see Chae-Rin standing on her knees on the couch and adjusting the phone comfortably in her hand.

The married woman looked at the girl and asked, "Whatcha smiling for?" Nari began panicking and yelled as loud as possible to intimidate the woman, "Yah! Who are you to invade my privacy?" All Chae-Rin did was smirk before averting her attention to the device in her hand and turning to sit comfortably on the couch, but before she could see anything on the screen, Nari jumped from behind the couch in an attempt to take her phone back. Unfortunately, her friend's arm was stretched out so she couldn't grab the phone. Going to extreme measures, the younger girl got on her friend's back and clawed at the other's arm.

"Give it back!" Nari screamed in her ear over and over again. Wincing at her loud voice ringing in her ears, Chae-Rin pushed Nari off of her, causing her to fall on her butt while the older woman stood up and walked away from her friend while looking at the phone. Reading the text aloud, she said, "'I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Pick you up at 6'...? Who the hell is thi-" She stopped midsentence and the brown-eyed girl widened her eyes at her best friend, whom looked up at her from the device and her mouth fell agape. Trying to register everything, she stared at the younger girl. Suddenly, Chae-Rin squealed and jumped up and down, questioning, "You're dating Jimin?! What the hell did I miss while I was gone?!" Nari facepalmed herself and wanted to bury her grave right then and there, but her best friend embraced her excitedly while caressing her head, "Oh my baby Nari! You are truly becoming a woman, dating a hunk like Jimin! You naughty, naughty girl!"
