"Oh."

"Oh."

We echo each other. I swear I can pick up a hint of dread in his voice too.

"Ah, Jimin. Hi." My eyes drop down to stare at the white sneakers he wears.

"Y/n..." he says as an acknowledgement.

"Well, uh..."
What the heck is this? I've never been this awkward with Jimin. I've never been this polite with him either. It's giving me shivers.
Jimin steps aside wordlessly and I shut up and scurry past.

"There you are, darling!" Auntie Iseul says when I stroll into the lounge. "I was wondering when you were going to come out of hiding."
I smile a little at her and flop down onto the couch.

"Is everyone here?"  I ask.

"I came here after picking Jimin up from Taehyung's house and Byung-woo will come a little later with Cheol. The twins are staying overnight at a friend's place so they won't be coming." she tells me as she reaches for the remote.

"Ah, are you staying for dinner?"

"Mm," she hums.
A moment later mum strolls in with a large steel bowl and Jimin trails after her with a packet of apples in his arms. She sits down beside Iseul and begins peeling the apples, Iseul picks up a peeler as well and joins in, Jimin sits at the other end of the couch, apparently texting someone.
We watch a random drama for an hour or so before Uncle Byung-woo and Cheol arrive. Mum points out there car as she sees it rolling down the street and into the driveway. All of our eyebrows raise when three car doors open simultaneously instead of two. A girl steps out of the car along with the two figures we already know.

"Huh?" Iseul says.
I glance at her. Not even she knows who it is.

"Jimin, who's that?" She asks pointing at the girl.
Jimin frowns thoughtfully but shrugs his shoulders a moment later. I, however have a sneaking suspicion that I know who it is.
Uncle Byung-woo and Cheol both have excited smiles on their faces but the girl looks pale and nervous. Despite that she's noticeably pretty. Sweet eyes and nose, full lips and overall cute appearance. Buying-woo opens our front door as though it's his own home, it's his second one so no surprises there. They all walk into the house and disappear from our sight. We wait for them to make their way through the house and to the lounge.

"Good almost-evening all," Uncle Byung-woo says as he strolls into the lounge, setting down his briefcase beside Jimin and sitting down there.

"Cheol! Get your butt in here!" Mum calls out.
Cheol and the girl emerge into the lounge from the other room, both express different versions of a nervous smile. I swear the girl is almost shaking. Oh. They're holding hands.... how....... sweet.
