PATH 2: SEOKJIN - PART 1

The next morning, you awoke on the floor as Minji yanked the blanket that was wrapped around you, pulling you right along with it with a loud thud as you made contact with the hard, marble surface.

"Oh, good, you're up," she grinned before walking away with a catty sashay of her hips, leaving you furious and sore all over. You rubbed at your elbows, trying to knead the pain away to no avail.

Heaving your creaky bones up off the floor, still stiff from a poor night's sleep on the sofa, you prepared to attack the girl, almost making it as far as a few steps away from giving her hair a hard tug before you were stopped by the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Aawwggnnnhhh," Jin yawned widely upon entering the room. You resisted the urge to make a joke about his worldwide mouth but felt the corners of your mouth rising in response to your pathetic pun anyway.

"What are you smiling at, Freak?" Minji asked, keeping her voice low and measured in the hopes that Jin, who was currently pouring himself a cup of coffee in a mug that read "bad puns are how eye roll," wouldn't overhear her.

"Nothing," you said, turning away from Jin and sticking your tongue out at the girl. Just the thought of murdering you...

"Are you morning person?" Jin asked you, his broken English causing an even bigger smile to spread across your face as you turned back to the handsome man behind you.

His hair was all mussed from a night of sleep and you imagined him tossing and turning in bed, then shook your head to clear away any more pervasive thoughts before your mind could grab hold of any dirtier ideas.

"No," you said. "Not really. I was just thinking of something funny."

Jin's face grew bright and animated. He took a sip of his coffee before smacking his lips and saying, "Oh, you like funny?"

"Yeah," you agreed. "I love funny!"

"Ah, then you going to love me!" he said loudly. "I invented funny. Want to hear a joke?"

Minji rolled her eyes so hard you could swear that you could hear them turning in her head. You ignored her. "Sure!"

"Knock knock," he said.

You couldn't believe that this almost 30-year-old man was seriously about to tell you a knock knock joke but you sucked it up and gave him what he wanted. "Who's there?"

"Etch."

"Etch who?"

"Bless you!" he finished before erupting into a violent fit of laughter that sploshed all the liquid around in his mug, threatening to overspill at any moment.

As dumb as the joke was, his laugh was so funny, you couldn't help yourself, and ended up busting out into laughter too. Of course Minji didn't laugh and after Jin came down from his fit, he turned to her, said something that sounded pretty defensive in Korean, which ellitted a phony flutter of laughter from her, and then he scuttled off, mug of breakfast brew still in hand.

Your bladder told you that this was as good a time as any to scurry off as well, so you waited a few moments before following after Jin.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Minji's shrill voice assaulted your ears.

"Uh," you said dumbly. "I have to pee."

"Gross!" she said, a putrid look on her putrid face.

"How is that gross?" you asked, an eyebrow cocked in defense. "Don't you pee?" Probably not, you thought to yourself. She probably has people who do that for her, the princess.
