Alouette // SeulMin

Chapter 10

The morning soon came after the incident. Neither of the two felt better after hours of sleep though. Both kept thinking about the 'what ifs'

Seulgi has been awake for quite some time but still didn't make any effort in getting out of bed or even moving. Her hair was still covering half her face, the covers were pulled halfway to the floor and her left leg was dangling over the bed.

Its okay. Just pretend it never happened. You were drunk. Yeah that's it! You drank last night and you were drunk. She kept up a conversation with herself in her head even though she knows for a fact she didn't even touch her drink. Then the flash of the face he made the moment he pulled away crept back in her mind. She couldn't help but feel the hurt all over again. Am I that bad? Was I really that bad?

It didn't take long before Seulgi smelled the sweet aroma of breakfast being cooked all the way to the bedroom. But it wasn't until her stomach began to growl did she move out the bed. Heading towards what she assume was the bathroom. Seulgi momentarily stared at her own reflection on the bathroom mirror. Convincing herself that everything is fine and everything will be fine as long as she acted 'normally' and forget what transpired last night between her and her partner.

Jimin on the other hand had been up making breakfast thinking over and over again how he'd fix the problem he created last night. They have to talk about it. He decided that if she wasn't going to talk he was.

As if on cue, the moment Jimin set down the plate of pancakes on the table the door to his bedroom opened. His heart leaped the moment her saw her. She was wearing one of his sweatshirts.

"I may have ravaged your closet. You don't mind right?" Seulgi said gesturing towards the sweatshirt she was wearing.

"No, not at all," Jimin felt his cheeks heat up at the sight of her. "Ugh.. Have a seat," he teared his eyes away from her and sat down at the dining table, waiting for her to do the same.

The breakfast was quiet and a little awkward. Both just ate their food in silence. After finishing her plate Seulgi got up and put her dish in the sink, Jimin immediately followed. Seulgi felt Jimin's intense stare at her, when he leaned on the counter as he handed her his plate for her to put in the sink

"Look about last night—"

"What about last night?" She asked, cutting off Jimin's words

"Seulgi," Jimin said in a soft voice, taking a step closer to her

"Oh that!" Seulgi said with a slightly laugh. It was almost mocking. "Don't worry about that. I've forgotten that, you should too. I've been rejected before so its fine." Seulgi walked pass Jimin to grab a bottle of water from the fridge. "Besides it was just a kiss. It wasn't a life changing thing. So let's just drop it." Seulgi raised an eyebrow at him, as if asking for his approval

"Fine."

He wanted to talk about it. She wanted to just forget about it.

"Didn't Cap tell you two to take a day off?" Yoongi said when he saw Jimin and Seulgi walk in the squad room

"Shut it," Seulgi snapped at him. Yoongi raised his hands as Seulgi sat on her desk getting ready to work
