『 POLISHED METAL 』 ⇢ Park Jimin

Chapter 29: Incertitude

•Jimin's POV•

Why are there two Eunjins in the picture?!

"Jimin! Jimin!"

I jumped in my spot and quickly hid the picture behind me as instinct before turning to the voice.

"Eunjin? What's wrong?" I fumbled with the picture as I hid it behind my back.

"Oh, nothing—I just wanted to tell you that I was able to complete the raid boss and collected a lot of guns and loot from it." She responded with a small smile.

"Oh really?" I nodded happily at her announcement, still puzzled whether or not I should ask about the picture.

Not long after, Yongwoo came in running behind her with a big smile, "And she was definitely better than you Mini hyung!"

"What? A noob like her better than me? No offense, Eunjin—"

"None taken." She nodded her head at me.

"You're more of a noob than she is actually," Yongwoo replied with a smirk.

Suddenly, a fourth voice resonated from downstairs.

"A chauffeur has arrived for Mr. Park Jimin." A maid announced.

I tilted my head in confusion and looked towards Yongwoo and Eunjin who were just as confused as I am.

"You're leaving so soon?" Eunjin asked.

"I-I think so," I suddenly remembered when Ms. Yuk was telling me to leave as soon as possible and by soon, she means after a few minutes.

I guess she's the one who called a car for me.

As I was about to head downstairs, I remember that I was still holding the picture and the frame.

Naturally, I would ask Eunjin about the picture but...

"You may think that you know her and her fear but let me tell you this—you don't know anything about her."

After what Ms. Yuk told me about now knowing who Eunjin really is, I suddenly fear what I will know if I ask her about the picture.

I blindly folded the picture behind me and brought it to my front, "I might or might have broken the picture frame when I was wandering the hallway but don't worry, I'll fix it!"

I kneeled down to disassemble the picture frame and insert the picture I was holding before fixing the picture frame once again and handing it to Eunjin.

"Here! Good as new!" I beamed her a bright smile before sighing.

"Jimin, the chauffeur is waiting for you." I turned around to see Ms. Yuk flashing her pearly whites at me.

Why do I feel like she hates me? WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG WOMAN?!

"Ah, okay, I'll get going then—where's Mickey?" I looked around but I wasn't able to spot the familiar sassy K9.

"She's sleeping in Uncle Yongwoo's room—"

"Uh, excuse me, it's a LAB!" Yongwoo interrupted.

Eunjin cleared her throat, "I meant Uncle Yongwoo's lab."

"Is it just me or does Mickey sleep 24/7 even though she has done nothing at all?" I raised an eyebrow at the dog's weird habit.

Aren't dogs supposed to be lively and active? Especially a K9?

"She does sleep 24/7, that's how she replenishes her sassiness, I wouldn't blame her though—I would do the same." Yongwoo nodded his head.

Letting out a deep sigh, I walked towards the stairs before waving goodbye to Yongwoo and Eunjin.
