“What makes you so sure about me and her anyways? If you like her then go get her, don’t use me.” Jimin bluntly said and being used to his cousin’s attitude, Chanyeol only chuckled as he shook his head. “I may be close to Chorong but I don’t like her, she’s like a sister to me.” Chanyeol said and Jimin snickered. “Then what if I tell you that I only see her as my friend and nothing more?” Jimin asked back as he gave the already sleeping Chorong a glance. Chanyeol frowned, not because he didn’t expect Jimin to straightforwardly say that but because he knew that behind those lies was the truth.
The truth that Jimin likes her too. Chanyeol knew that the latter was lying, just by looking into his eyes.
“Are you sure?” Chanyeol asked and Jimin immediately nodded his head. “Never been so sure.” He answered with a small smile and Chanyeol shrugged his shoulders.
“Then take her home.”
“You know.. Chanyeol oppa’s.. too much..”
Chorong suddenly spoke up surprising Jimin who was now walking down the park with Chorong on his back and her bag hanging around his neck. “What?” Jimin asked not expecting for Chorong to be like one of those typical drunk people who speaks. “I said.. Chanyeol oppa’s.. too much.” Chorong said through her slurred speech and Jimin raised his brows but before he can ask her why, Chorong spoke up again.
“Jimin doesn’t waaant to be in the same pl-ace as me.. yeeer know.” Chorong said trying her best to sound sober but failed making Jimin shake his head. “Who doesn’t want to be in the same place as you?” He asked and Chorong frowned before burying her face on his shoulder as her arms tightened around him. “Ji...mingggg...” Chorong answered and Jimin shook his head trying to suppress the smile on his face but failed. “Why do you think so?” Jimin asked and he heard Chorong sigh.
“Beeecause, heee hates meee.” Chorong answered. “Why does he hate you?” Jimin asked.
“Beeecause, I.. like him.” Chorong answered before lifting her face from his shoulder and placing her chin there instead. “He hates me.. because.. I lied to him. Yeer knerr whaat? He.. doesn’t like me.” Chorong said followed by a hiccup making Jimin sigh, his smile slowly turning into a frown just by hearing Chorong’s drunk words. Yes, she might be drunk but Jimin can sense the whole pain he has caused her just by the tone of her voice.
“He said that I should.. should leave him.” Chorong said as she slowly started to sob making Jimin look at her only to see her burying her face on his shoulder again. “Ish it my fault to like.. him?” Chorong asked her slurred words muffled by Jimin shoulder. “No.” He answered, his voice barely audible.
“Then why does.. he hate.. me?” Chorong asked as she leaned back and wiped her tears away. “It’s.. not like I wanted this right?” She added.
“Maybe..” Jimin trailed. “What if he doesn’t really hate you?” He asked changing his mind.
“Does asking me.. to leave not count?” Chorong asked with a frown and Jimin sighed. He felt guilty, he felt sorry to her yet he can’t do anything.
I’m such a coward, Jimin thought.
“Then.. what are you going to do now?” Jimin asked, he heard Chorong let out a sigh. “Do you hate him?” He added.
“Neer, I don’t haaate him.” Chorong answered before letting out a chuckle. “And.. I’ll still love him even if he’s a coward.” Chorong said making Jimin stop in his tracks.
“You love.. me?” He whispered but Chorong slapped his arm as an answer. “Keep on walking!” She shouted making Jimin shake his head and continue walking.
After a full minute of silence, Jimin heard Chorong chuckling.
“What now?” Jimin asked as he turned his head sideways to look at Chorong only to come in face to face with her. “Woah.. you look like Ji-ming..” Chorong said with a grin as she reached her hand out and pinched his cheeks. “Your cheeks are fluffy.” She said while looking at him and Jimin can only stand in shock. It was the second time Chorong managed to stop him from walking. “But why do you look like him?” Chorong asked, her brows scrunching up.
Jimin looked at her questioningly while Chorong stared at him in confusion.
“You look like Ji-miiiingg..” Chorong said before breaking into a grin again. “Now, I’m starting to see him. Ah, I miss him now.” Chorong said before looking forward again leaving Jimin staring at her. Feeling the lack of movements from the person who carries her, Chorong looked back to Jimin and pouted. “You still look like him.” Chorong said in amusement before leaning in and kissing his nose. “And it feels real too.” She added before giving the latter a smug grin.
“No, no. If yeeer the real Ji..ming. He will shout at me already.” Chorong said before closing her eyes and shaking her head.
“Walk~” She whined and Jimin resumed walking even when he’s still in daze from the kiss Chorong made.
Not long after, Jimin heard sobs and knew it was Chorong.
This drunk really is moody, he thought as he shook his head. “What’s your problem now?” He asked.
“He hates me.. Jiming hates me.” Chorong said and Jimin felt his heart clench. Lifting her head up, Chorong frowned when she noticed the guy looking at her with a frown and because of being still in her drunk state Chorong sighed. “Why is a stranger carrying me?” Chorong suddenly asked herself as her eyes widened. “Yaah! Get off me! I’m going to call the police!” Chorong said as she started to hit Jimin thinking that the guy was someone she doesn’t know and was taking advantage of her.
“Hey! I’m going to take you home!” Jimin shouted as he tried to dodge Chorong’s hits without making her fall but failed when Chorong wriggled out from his grip. “No! I’m not going home!” Chorong said as she tried to run away but Jimin managed to grab her wrist. “You should go home Chorong.” He said calmly as he pulled her closer to him only to find Chorong struggling to get away from him. “No, I don’t want to see my family. They won’t let me leave. No!” Chorong said trying to push him away with tears running down her face and that’s when it dawned to Jimin that Chorong was scared to go home. She was scared to go back to her family because of the fear of getting imprisoned by them.
It dawned to him that Chorong thought that he was going to take her back to where she escaped from.
“No, no. Chorong listen to me.” Jimin said as he grabbed her shoulders and looked straight into her eyes. “I’m not going to take you there.” He continued.
“No, you’re lying. I want Jimin.” Chorong said making Jimin surprised. “What?” He asked.
“I want Jimin, bring him to me.” Chorong said with a pleading voice and Jimin felt his heart breaking by the sight of her.
Having no choice, Jimin pulled her and hugged her tight in hopes to calm her down.
