Somebody To You || Park Jimin

Episode 12

"Want to walk around?" Jimin asked when he noticed that Chorong looked around the place as soon as they went out of the restaurant. Turning her head towards him, Chorong shyly nodded her head and Jimin motioned her to follow him.

"You know the way around here?" Chorong asked and Jimin nodded his head as they walked down the road opposite to the way back to the guesthouse. "Yeah, there's a river near here. We'll go there." Jimin said as they walked down the road, the silence engulfed them again but the moment Jimin heard a roar of engine, he turned his head back and saw a motorcycle running towards his and Chorong's way.

Chorong, not being able to react faster than Jimin stood in shock only to feel her arm being pulled to the safer side of the road. Her eyes are shut tight as her hands gripped tightly on Jimin's shirt, standing there, Chorong can clearly hear his rapid heartbeat.

"Hey, it's gone now." Jimin said as he lightly pushed her away and Chorong immediately pulled away and stood beside him awkwardly. "Watch where you're going." He said as he pulled her to switch places. "T-Thank you." Chorong said and Jimin raised his hand and waved it dismissing what Chorong said.

"Let's go." He said as he resumed walking down the road leaving Chorong trailing behind him.

"We're here." Jimin said as they walked down a path of cherry blossom trees. "This is a park." Chorong muttered, deadpanned. Jimin glanced at her and shook his head before letting out a small chuckle, Chorong saw this and tried to suppress a smile too.

"There's a river here." He answered while pointing at the pathway filled with cherry blossom trees and Chorong nodded her head. "Oh, so you mean. Just like Han River back home?" Chorong asked and Jimin nodded his head. "Yeah, something like that." He answered and Chorong nodded her head as they walked down the path.

The sun had already set down but what made the park even more beautiful was the city lights around it.

"What's the river called?" Chorong asked wanting to start another talk between them. "Sumida." Jimin answered shortly.

Or maybe not. Chorong thought.

"We're here." Jimin announced as they stopped and Chorong ran towards the railing. "It's beautiful." She said as she motioned Jimin to come closer to the railings and so he did, looking around, Jimin sighed in contentment.

It was indeed beautiful.

"Just like Han River." Chorong muttered and Jimin nodded his head agreeing with her. "It's just that we're in Japan." Chorong said then chuckled.

"Oh." Chorong said remembering something. Taking her phone out, Chorong took a few pictures of the river in front of her and the city lights on the other side before taking pictures of the cherry blossom behind them.

After doing so, Chorong spun around and came face to face with Jimin who was watching her taking pictures.

"Err..." Chorong said awkwardly. She wanted to ask him to take a picture together but she's afraid that she might piss him off and Jimin saw the hesitance, smiling a little, Jimin took her phone making Chorong look at him in surprise.

"What's the background?" He asked while pointing at the river with the city lights on the other side before pointing at the cherry blossoms beside them, Chorong's face grew red. "H-Here." Chorong said while pointing at the river and Jimin nodded his head before making her stand beside him and taking a picture.

"There." He said as he returned Chorong's phone. "T-Thank you." Chorong said and Jimin shook his head.

"Let's go back." He said as he walked back first leaving Chorong trailing behind again.

"I just hope you won't walk like that, I have short legs, you know." Chorong muttered, oblivious that it made Jimin smile as he walked ahead of her.

"Chorong, wake up."

Chorong heard a voice from a voice outside her door followed by a knock. Sitting up groggily, Chorong fixed her hair and went to the bathroom to do her morning routine. Going out of her room, Chorong went straight to the kitchen and saw Jimin eating already.

"What's with the early morning call?" Chorong asked grumpily and Jimin raised his brows before looking at his wristwatch. Chorong raised her brows and Jimin showed the time to her.

"10 AM?!" Chorong asked loudly making Jimin cover his ears. "Ow..." He said and Chorong smiled sheepishly as she started to eat. "Sorry." She said and Jimin shook his head. "So, how was it?" He asked while eating.

"What?" Chorong asked while lazily chewing her food.

"Food." He said and Chorong's eyes widened. "You cooked this?" She asked and Jimin nodded his head.

"You're great!" She said as she dropped her spoon and gave him two thumbs up.

"Liar." Jimin said and Chorong frowned. "Eyy, I'm telling the truth." Chorong defended and Jimin stood up bringing his plate on the sink before washing it.

"Where are you going?" Chorong asked while poking her food.

"Out." He answered shortly and Chorong frowned.

"I'll buy a tuxedo." He continued when he noticed the unsatisfied look on the latter's face. "Can I go with you?" Chorong asked excitedly and Jimin pondered about it for a moment before nodding his head. "Sure." He said before retreating back to his room while Chorong on the other hand finished her food quickly.

"That looks so..."

Chorong closed her mouth when Jimin looked at her with a frown. They were at the store and because of Chorong's complains and comments about how she doesn't like the tuxedos that Jimin kept choosing, the latter wasn't able to buy one yet.

"I was just suggesting." Chorong carefully said as she slowly covered her mouth and Jimin shook his head before returning the tuxedo he's holding back on the rack. "You choose." He said and Chorong looked at him in disbelief.

"Really?!" She asked gaining some of the attention of the people inside the store making Jimin do nothing but sigh and shake his head. "Yes, go." He said and Chorong ran to the far end corner of the shop.

Jimin followed her and saw that Chorong chose a suit for him.

"This fits you better." She said and Jimin nodded his head.

"Wait outside, I'll take this." He said and Chorong nodded her head and walked out of the store. "I'll take this." Jimin told the lady that was standing beside the suit Chorong chose and the lady nodded her head.

"Do you want to look at the pair for this suit sir? I think it will fit your girlfriend." The lady said in Japanese and Jimin frantically shook his head. "She's not my girlfriend." Jimin immediately answered back in the same language and the lady chuckled.

"Oh, sorry. I thought you two are." The lady said with a smile. "But... you said there's a pair?" He asked and the lady nodded her head. "Yes, we weren't able to put it at the display yet but do you want to go and take a look?" She asked and Jimin nodded his head.

"Sure." He answered.

"What's taking him so long?" Chorong growled under her breath after a few minutes of waiting. She doesn't know what Jimin is doing inside, he should be done by now but no, he's still not going out.

Shaking her head, Chorong turned and was about to go back when Jimin went out making her stumble backwards.

"What?" Jimin asked and Chorong glared at him.

"What took you so long? Don't you know that I'm hung-- oh..."

Chorong stopped talking when Jimin handed her a blue flat box. "What is this?" Chorong asked and was about to open the box when Jimin pushed the cover down again.

"Open it later." He said and Chorong nodded her head but as soon as Jimin walked away, Chorong peeked in a smile instantly appeared on her face when she saw what's inside.

A dress, similar to the suit she chose for him.
