The Queen of Ice

Chapter 21

Dahyun

"Oh, Jimin ssi, welcome!" Mrs. Lee called.

Both Jiwoo and I turned around, then looked at each other.

"Did you invite Jimin here?"

"I invited him for the dinner, but now is only 12 pm though."

I pouted. "I thought it would only be girls time."

She sheepishly said, "Sorry. Jimin is your friend too anyway."

"Jiwoo ah, Dahyun ah!" Jimin said as he approached us, then dumped himself on Jiwoo's couch while Jiwoo and I were sitting on the floor.

"Yah, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Am I not allowed to be here?"

"Nope."

"Jiwoo invited me," Jimin replied, "this is her house after all."

"I once lived in this house, so practically this is my house too."

"Dahyun ah," Jiwoo called as she chuckled, "stop it, you're acting like Jimin's a total stranger."

"Tch," I said, "love birds."

Both Jimin and Jiwoo giggled, then Jimin said, "Why do you look so envy? You have Taehyung."

"He's basically in a different district, so no, I don't have him now."

"Aigho, look at you three," Mrs. Lee said while approaching us, holding a tray with three cups of tea on it. Jimin got up from the couch, then helped Mrs. Lee with the tray.

"Does Mrs. Lee know about you and Jimin?" I whispered to Jiwoo.

"I haven't told her actually, but I guess she wouldn't mind having Jimin as her son-in-law," she whispered back while chuckling.

Jimin put the tray on the table in front of us, then took a seat beside Jiwoo.

"It's been so long since the last time I saw you three hung out together," Mrs. Lee said, "are you three still close at school?"

"Of course," Jiwoo said, "we are the triple good looking best friends at school."

"Yah, what are you saying?" I said as I chuckled, Mrs. Lee also chuckled.

"By the way, Jiwoo, help me with the lunch."

"Okay, eomma," she said as she got up, "I'll be right back, guys. You'll taste my delicious cooking."

"We'll die after tasting your meal."

After Jiwoo went to the kitchen, Jimin and I were left alone.

"You made rice cakes?" Jimin asked.

"How did you know?"

Jimin pointed to a paper which was beside the tray, and it was a recipe of rice cakes.

"Why did you not give me one? You know I love rice cakes," he said as he pouted.

"Duh, how should I know that you would be here?" I asked, "you want rice cakes?"

He nodded joyfully. "You still have it?"

"I think so. Wait for a moment," I said as I got up. I went to the dining table and I found five pieces of my rice cakes. I thanked God because I didn't give Taehyung all of the rice cakes, Jimin would kill me instead.

"Here, have some," I said as I put the rice cakes on the table in front of Jimin.

He took one, then ate it. "It's already cold," he said, "it's still delicious though."
