Chapter Eight

Jimin's POV

I wake up to the sound of calming music and see Jia doing the downward dog on a pink yoga mat.

"Uhm... what are you doing?" I yawned sitting up. I then checked my phone for the time and my eyes widened. "Hong Jia! It's 7.10 in the morning what the fu-"

"I'm sorry I woke you." She sat on the mat. "I couldn't sleep." Her eyes were tired.

"Is something bothering you?" I asked as supportively as I could but my yawns would not stop.

She stopped the music and got into bed with me. "Mingyu was being weird."

I rolled my eyes. "When is he not?"

She looked down at her fingers and fiddled with them.

I sighed. "Alright, what did he do?"

She didn't answer.

"If you're going to wake me up this early on a Saturday at least tell me!" I snapped.

"Yesterday..." She started, not looking up from her hands. "After school my group for the up coming show decided to go eat and Mingyu was at our school gates waiting..." She proceeded to tell me the story and by the end of it I didn't really know what to say.

Not because I was shocked or anything, the situation seemed kind of normal to me. This Hansol boy and weirdo Mingyu both like my sister. She seems to like Mingyu back, maybe? And Hansol is jealous. That's it, right?

"Do you like Mingyu?" I asked.

Her cheeks turned pink. "I don't know. It's just all so confusing. What did Hansol mean when he said 'even in a different life you're both still made for each other.'" She closed her eyes and leaned back onto my pillow. "When I hugged Mingyu it felt... right. You know what I mean? Like it just felt like it was what I was supposed to do. It almost felt like deja vu."

"Maybe you have a little crush on him." I teased.

The edges of her lips crooked up, almost cracking a smile.

"I'll take that as a yes. Anyways," I laid back onto my bed and pulled the covers up to my chin. "Get off my bed. This beauty needs her sleep."

Jia's POV

I walked out of Jimin and I's room shutting the door slowly so I didn't disturb her even more. I went down stairs and into the lounge to see father reading a newspaper and drinking a cup off coffee.

"Oh, Jia-yah." He looks up at his paper. "You're up early."

Actually I didn't sleep.

"Why don't you quickly run out now and catch up with Jisoo. He went to the convenience store down the road."

I nodded and waved a quick goodbye. I then ran out onto the footpath and there he was only a few houses away. "Josh!" I yelled as I ran to him.

He stopped and turned around. He smiled when he saw me. "You're up early."

"So are you." I said trying to catch my breath.

"I usually wake up this early." He defended and patted my head. "Not that you would know."

As we neared the convenience store, Mingyu suddenly popped into my head.

"Why don't we go for a longer walk?" I said looking up at Josh. "There's a better store just a little further down the road."

"Ahhh you mean the one with a flower stand? Sure, lets go."

"Did you want anything else?" Josh asked as he put 2 small jars of kimchi into the basket he was holding. "This is pretty much all we need at home."
