제13장:

We all watched Minji go down the escalator until she was out of our sight.

A sigh left Jin and I's mouth coincidentally.

"Now what?" I asked, slouching.

"I don't know." Jimin's raspy voice joined.

It was quiet for a moment, the three of us just stood in the front of the store. Minji had a family reunion at 7 which is why she left. I guess you could say we're acquainted now.

Jimin's phone suddenly started buzzing, a call or notification coming in. He made an 'oh' sound then got out his phone, responding to whatever it was.

"I have to go." He announced, feeling bad about it.

"That's okay." I pat his arm then shoved my hands into my hoodie pockets.

"I guess............ Have fun guys." He shot me a sad smile before walking off admirably.

"..Looks like it's just me and you then." Jin spoke out.

"Obviously." I shook my head at him.

"Come on." He pressed his hand on my back, encouraging me to keep walking.

He brought me to another food court.

"Wow, you're really hungry, aren't you?" I frowned as he sat me down.

"I'm always hungry. I eat most of the time." He laughed.

"Really? You actually maintain your shape pretty well." I was surprised, honestly. Considering how he said it, he's still thin.

"Thank you." He winked.

I widened my eyes then furrowed my eyebrows, now what is HE doing??

"Be back in a minute, I'm getting us the best ever tasting churros." He gave me a heart with his arms and walked off for the Churros food thing.

I slouched into my chair, crossing my legs and arms to comfort myself. The whole food court was loud with laughing, crying from babies, and screaming from tantrum-throwing brats. I don't like public places, but it's nice when I'm with someone other than myself.

Jin returned with a tray full of churros. The cinnamon and sugar scent was released from the fried dough treats. 

"Thank you." I bowed my head for a really quick moment before digging into the sugary delights

"Thank me." He told himself then began chowing the churros as well.

"UMM~!!!" He hummed in delight, swinging his head around with closed eyes. He really enjoys this, I guess.

"So is Jimin your boyfriend now?" I choked on my pastry, giving Jin a cringe look.

"Oh, I guess not.." He huffed.

"Yes, Jin. I started dating someone I knew for like 3 days." I rolled my eyes.

Why would he assume something like that? Does he see me as that  kind of girl? Geez.

"Old man." I muttered then tossed another churro into my mouth.

"WAH?!" He exclaimed.

The food court looked over at us, wondering why the broad shouldered an was standing at his table, staring at me in shock.

"Sit down, you're making a scene." I frowned at him, chewing my churro.

"I'm not old!! I'm like 2 years older than you! That's not that old, Iyagi!!" He pouted, slumping into his chair with crossed arms.

"WOOH.." I tilted my head, over exaggerating about the small age gap, "2 years... That's a lot..."

"I'm your oppa, respect me!" He scoffed.

"You? Oppa? You act like 5 year old." I continued the tease.

"I--" He paused, thinking deeper, "Okay."

"That's what I thought." 

"I'm still older." He smirked, raising an eyebrow in 'victory'.

"Act like it and eat your food."

"Fine." He huffed then began finishing his half of the churros.

Just as he popped the last one in his mouth, a piece of the dough flipped onto his lower lip. It irritated me that he didn't notice, so I just stared, squinting my eyes in my OCD annoyance.

I reached my arm over and flicked the dough off his lip so it flew across the room and hopefully landed in someone's hair.

"What." He stared at me with an dumb, innocent look on his face.

"You didn't realize there was dough on your lip?" I gave him a curious look, weirded out he didn't even acknowledge it.

"No." He shook his head, still chewing.

"That's dumb." I shrugged a hum-laugh again with my blank face.

"Don't you smile?" He teased.

I just gave him a blank look. Everyone's asking me this, and the answer is YES. I DO! STOP ASKING. It's getting annoying. My blank face had slowly formed into a scowl. 

"Okay.. What's it called when a snake is burning?" He pursed his lips, trying not to laugh. Is he seriously trying to tell me a joke right now...

"....What?" I sighed.

"Baem-pire." He burst into laughter, clapping his hands with a seal-like laugh. His legs were probably moving around under the table, causing the table to start shaking as if this were some poltergeist.

"Wow." I looked down, chuckling through my nose as a crooked smile rested on my face. My face began to grow sore from holding in my entire smile, "That's terrible..."

He continued laughing at his own joke, trying not to die with lack of oxygen.

"Are you crying? It was a small joke!" I started laughing loudly, my cackle alerting everyone in the food court. I hated my laugh, I remembered it sounded like some sort of dog barking in pain.

We were dying of laughter, both our faces red for different reasons. Jin's: Laughing too hard at his own joke. Mine: Laughing hard that he's basically crying of laughter from his own weak joke.

It wasn't even that funny............It was clever, but not that funny. Okay, it was pretty funny.
