Alouette // SeulMin

Chapter 9

"You know you didn't have to take me all the way up here," Seulgi glance back at Jimin who was walking behind her. Jimin insisted to bring Seulgi to her apartment.

"Yeah right, and have you get taken again? No thanks." Jimin didn't miss the flicker of panic in Seulgi eyes as he mentioned the word 'taken'. He immediately apologize

"Its okay." Seulgi said as an uncomfortable silence surround them.

"I really didn't -"

"Don't worry about it." Seulgi gave him a smile. "Nightcap?" Seulgi interrupted Jimin's another attempt to apologize. Jimin couldn't help but smile at her

"You're drinking already. I guess you really are fine now." Seulgi just gave him a closed lip smile. "Sure why not,"

She digs for her keys in her bag, glancing a couple times at Jimin. Realizing she doesn't have her keys she gave an apologetic look to Jimin

"You lost it again didn't you?" Seulgi nodded timidly. It didn't take long before she heard keys rattling and saw Jimin opening her door for her.

She silently thanked herself for giving him that key. It was a known fact that she misplaces a lot of her stuff. She figured giving Jimin, the organized one, her important things would help her a lot, so she did. Jimin has the key to her apartment, the second set of keys for her car, and he even knew where she kept the emergency key is for her safe.

"After you," Jimin held the door open just wide enough for Seulgi to come in.

"What do you want to drink?" Jimin pictured Seulgi's alcohol stash. Even though they've been partners for years now he can count in his two hand exactly how many times he'd been inside her apartment. All those times he always was faced with a difficult choice of choosing what to drink from her alcohol stash.

"Only a beer please, I still got to drive." Jimin saw Seulgi disappear to the kitchen. He wandered into her living room. It looked pretty much the same since the last time he was there. A collection of movies displayed on the side of the flat screen TV. A game console and a blue ray player next to it. But like the last time Jimin couldn't help but notice the absence of any picture. He thought back to the first time he saw her living room.

"Everyone has at least one picture in their house. You should have one. Bring some personality to this place."

"Hey shut it or you'll lose the drink,"

"Alright fine. It was just a suggestion,"

"That's funny I don't remember asking," Seulgi smirked at Jimin who was giving her the same smile back

"There's no more beers left, what do you want?" Seulgi's voice interrupted Jimin's flashback.

"I'll have you'll have!" He responded as his eyes continue to wander around the living room. Something caught his eyes, a small piece of paper tape to the center table.
