"Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward." -C. S. Lewis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After finishing his shower, Mingi notices Jinjoo in her room through the slight crack of her open door. Wanting to greet her, he softly knocks on the door but doesn't hear anything, so he walks in.
Jinjoo was fast asleep next to her window. Looking like she was cold, Mingi brings a blanket from her closet and gently lays it on her until she woke up from the sudden touch.
"Oh hi, don't worry I'm not a creep. I was just laying this on you cuz you looked kinda cold. I'm Mingi by the way."
"Oh, thanks. I'm Jinjoo."
"Okay well I'm gonna head downstairs. You wanna come down with me?"
"Um actually I think I'm gonna stay here for a while."
"Alright, I guess I'll see you later then." Mingi says while winking.
Jinjoo was too depressed to do anything, even though a part of her wanted to spend time with the boys downstairs. She always had these random mood swings where she felt okay, and then the next day she feels like complete shit and she just can't get over Jungkook's death.
However after some thinking, she realized that she should at least try to move on and forget her past. So she decided to head downstairs to see what the boys were up to. As she walks out of her room she notices another guy about to go downstairs too.
"Hi, I'm Jinjoo. I don't think we met yet. You're San right?" she asks trying to sound happy.
"Yeah." he says and then immediately walks downstairs.
"Damn, I was hoping for some small talk but the guys did say San was the cold-hearted one." she thought.
Ignoring what just happened, she walks down the stairs and sees everyone on the couch watching a movie.
"Hey Jinjoo! Come watch this movie with us!" yells Jongho.
"Alright, what are we watching?" she asks while sitting next to him on the couch.
"I think we're watching IT."
Jinjoo wasn't a fan of scary movies, but if this was what it was going to take to spend more time with them, she was willing to watch it. "Oh, uh...okay."
They're almost halfway through the movie and it was getting harder for Jinjoo to not get scared.
"Shit." she whispers to herself as she covers her eyes.
"Jinjoo, you don't watch horror movies that often do you? We can turn it off if you don't wanna keep watching." says Seonghwa.
"No I don't watch them that much, but I mean I can still handle it. I'm not a lil pussy I can get through this. I'm a strong girl, let's keep watching."
Mingi releases a small laugh and continues to watch the movie.
After the nine of them soon finish the movie, Mingi comes up with an idea.
"You know what we should all do? We should play Never Have I Ever."
Wooyoung agrees. "That's a good idea, it'll give us a chance to learn more about each other, especially Jinjoo."
"I'm down." says Hongjoong.
"Okay so each person is gonna ask a question, and then everyone will raise their hand if they answer yes. Who wants to start?"
"I guess I will." says Yunho.
"Never have I ever had more than three girlfriends or boyfriends."
Mingi, Wooyoung, Hongjoong, and San raise their hands.
"Wow, San had more than three girlfriends? With that attitude? Shocker." she thought to herself.
"I'll go next! Never have I ever had to fake it." says Seonghwa.
Wooyoung was the only one who raised his hand.
"HA! Woyoung you faked having sex? Why? When?"
"That time when I was dating that Tina girl. I wanted to break up with her but she wanted to do it that night that I was gonna tell her, so I faked it cuz I didn't wanna like, actually have sex with someone I didn't have feelings for."
"Damn, Wooyoung."
"Hey guys, maybe we should take this game down to PG-13. I mean Jinjoo here can't seem to play." suggests San.
"What? What do you mean?" asks Mingi.
"I mean come on, she's probably never had sex yet or-"
Jinjoo cuts San off as she was annoyed by his words. "Who says I'm a virgin?"
Immediately San's attention goes to Jinjoo, while Mingi on the other hand was already smirking.
"How many times have you done it before?" Mingi asks.
"Uh, I think I'm gonna keep that information to myself." she says while staring straight into San's eyes. It was almost like they were having a staring contest, and Jinjoo was winning. "HA! Take that you big son of a bitch." she thought to herself.
"Well whatever that number is, maybe I'll be the next number on the list."
"Mingi, seriously?" says Yunho with a straight face.
"Yeah, I don't think so." Jinjoo responds.
Jongho breaks the long silence followed by the girls response. "Okay well does anyone wanna go to the movies with me? I'm bored."
"Jongho we literally just watched a movie." says Seonghwa.
"Yeah but who can say no to more movies? Come on I'll buy the popcorn who's with me?"
After some thought everyone agrees to follow Jongho except Jinjoo.
Including Mingi and San.
