Somebody To You || Park Jimin

Episode 18

"It's not that I'm bad mouthing my cousin here Chorong, but I think you better think of it carefully. Nonetheless, I'm glad that he seemed to have finally opened up to you." Chanyeol said with a smile and Chorong nodded her head. "You can trust me with him, oppa." Chorong answered confidently and Chanyeol smiled weakly.

"Are you sure?" He asked and Chorong nodded her head.

"He's finally opened up to me, oppa. Everything. Including his past." Chorong answered and Chanyeol's eyes widened.

"He... did that?" Chanyeol asked in disbelief knowing that his cousin finds it hard to open himself to other people. Especially to Chorong whom he argues with a lot.

"I didn't expected it oppa, but he did. Jimin did." Chorong answered and Chanyeol nodded his head still puzzled of why Jimin did that. No, he never expected for that to happen so soon, he made the two go to Japan together for them to get used to being around each other and maybe lessen the arguments but then he got was something better, and even though too fast, Jimin finally told his past to someone again.

Someone Chanyeol never expected.

"Is something wrong oppa?" Chorong asked upon noticing the expression on Chanyeol's face and Chanyeol shook his head.

"No, there's nothing wrong." Chanyeol answered and Chorong looked at him questioningly.

"Are you sure?" She asked and Chanyeol smiled before nodding his head.

Better be contented with the results, for now. He thought.

"Yes, just take care of him. He's too fragile."

"I will, oppa."

"Unnie!"

"Noona!"

The three interns called as soon as Chorong entered the graphic's floor, the next day after her arrival. Seeing the interns sitting at the round table at the corner of the room, Chorong jogged at them and took a seat at a vacant chair.

"Hey, there." She said with grin. "How's the three of you?" Chorong asked and the three interns grinned. "We've been doing fine unnie, the employees are treating us well. We missed you." Irene answered with a pout and Chorong chuckled before reaching out and ruffling the younger girl's hair.

"Yeah, we thought you will never come back noona." Mingyu added and Wonwoo nodded his head agreeing with the latter. Chorong smiled. "You know I won't just leave just like that. No one can take me down." She said before raising both her arms up and flexed her almost non-existent muscles making the three interns laugh.

"By the way, have you seen your other mentor? I haven't seen him around." Chorong said as she raised her up from the chair a little and looked around looking for one specific person. "Oh, we heard that the CEO made him run errands since his secretary wasn't in for today." Irene answered and Chorong nodded her head, she tried to suppress the smile on her face but failed.

"Noona..." Wonwoo called noticing the sudden drop of mood from the latter.

"Yes?" Chorong asked, her eyes still fixed on the elevator opening and closing.

"You miss him don't you?" Wonwoo teased and Chorong immediately turned her to Wonwoo immediately and covered his mouth. "You..." She said and they laughed making Chorong's face red.

"Whatever, I'm getting some food before recording. You three, continue your work." Chorong said leaving the three interns.

"An order of Bagel and Cream Cheese please." Chorong said to the crew in counter as soon as soon as she entered the cafe. Heaving out a sigh, Chorong looked around the cafe and spotted a vacant seat at the corner. Taking her order before thanking the crew in charge, Chorong walked towards the table and was about to settle herself to eat when she heard the chair in front of her being pulled away.

Chorong looked up and saw Sunny settling herself in front of her.

"What?" Chorong asked after taking a bite of her food making her voice muffled by chewing. Sunny face palmed. "What?" Chorong asked, this time her mouth free of food. "What are you doing here? I was looking all over the place for you." Sunny said with a frown and Chorong smiled sheepishly. "I got hungry." Chorong answered before ignoring her friend's scrutinizing look.

"Chorong." Sunny called. "Yeah?" Chorong asked dropping her bagel down knowing that she wouldn't have a peaceful meal, not when Sunny's around. "What happened to you and Jimin back in Japan?" Sunny asked and Chorong furrowed her brows.

"Nothing much, but for the record we didn't argued that much." Chorong answered completely being honest with Sunny. "Really? That's all? Aren't you two... dating?" Sunny asked and Chorong's eyes widened.

"What?" She asked with a loud voice making the other customers inside the cafe turn their heads towards her. Chorong lowered her head in embarrassment before looking back at Sunny. "What the hell are you talking about?" She asked and Sunny shrugged her shoulders before leaning back to the chair and crossing her arms.

"I don't know, you tell me." Sunny said. "Tell you what, if something's going on between us you would have known by now. I'm your best friend for crying out loud Soonkyu, give me some credits please." Chorong said and Sunny glared at her.

"I know and leave that name out of it. I'm just curious." Sunny said and Chorong furrowed her brows while looking at Sunny questioningly. "Confused? About what?" Chorong asked and Sunny took a deep breath before continuing.

"You know I wouldn't ask you about this if I didn't see something different from at least one of you." Sunny started. "But you know what? When I saw Jimin earlier, it was like the words 'I'm in love' was written all over his face. Heck, he even smiled at us!" Sunny said and Chorong doesn't know if she should laugh or not.

"But..." Sunny trailed, Chorong's expression dropped.

"If something's really happening between the two of you, I can make sure that it's not because you're playing right?" Sunny asked and Chorong frowned. "Give me some credits, please." Chorong said and Sunny smiled weakly.

"It's nothing like that." Sunny defended and Chorong sighed. "I know." Chorong answered.

"But can you be completely honest with me?" Sunny asked and Chorong looked at her friend questioningly. "Sure." She answered nonetheless.

"How much do you like him?" Sunny asked and Chorong looked down before fiddling with her fingers.

Hearing the bell on the door of the café ring, Chorong and Sunny looked up at the same time and found the subject of their topic entering the café.

Chorong weakly smiled as she looked at him.

"So much."
