Minjoo's Book of Slimyness ✔

Gravity

Upon entering the room, Hitomi is immediately greeted by the Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest Trio (AKA YenMinJin) all in a strange position on the long couch.

Yena and Yujin are posing as if they are shielding Minjoo away from Hitomi's prying eyes and Hitomi has to admit they are acting too suspicious. 

While Hitomi is used to have the Disasterz Line acting very suspiciously on a daily basis, but it usually never really involve others. Of course, it all changed with how they seem to recruit Chaewon and Minjoo (and Sakura, all under Yena's influence) but it's never to this certain degree. Never really triggered Hitomi's alarm.

Until now.

Hitomi narrows her eyes, slowly walking closer to the trio stationed on the couch until she towers the three who are sitting at the floor, not the couch.

"What are you doing?"

Despite being uttered in a completely harmless sentence, the three aren't that dumb to notice the threat hanging off at the end of the sentence, should they fail to answer her question.

"Nothing," Yena quacks off, scrambling to stand in sheer terror as Hitomi's nose scrunched. "Y-Yujin-ah! I think it's the perfect time for us to play that game you've been dying to play!"

Yujin immediately caught the cue to leave. "Alright! Let's go unnie!"

Minjoo too, but one look from Hitomi and she's rooted on the spot.

The visual suppressed the urge to flinch when Hitomi crouched down before ultimately sitting beside her. She has her arms crossed on her chest, and it actually looks kind of intimidating. 

"What kind of illegal business you three are doing?"

"Personally, I'm planning to steal your heart," Minjoo mutters, eyes straying away. "Nothing, Hii-chan. For once we're not--ouch!"

Hitomi doesn't say anything when she throws off the blanket covering Minjoo's lower body, revealing poorly tended cuts and bruises. The light brush on the fresh wound caused Minjoo to yelp like a little girl.

"Kim Minjoo!" Hitomi's voice was a mighty thunder. "You fell again?!"

It's one of the rare moments where Minjoo is unfazed by the danger signal on the back of her mind--even dares to wink at a seriously annoyed Honda Hitomi. "I can't help it. You just walked inside the room and I just can't help falling--"

Smack!

Worth it, Minjoo thinks with a grimace on her lips. A grimace that quickly transforms into a fond smile as Hitomi rises up to search for the first aid kit.

"I'm being serious! Why are you so clumsy lately, Minjoo? We can't afford to have your legs covered in bandages when we're going to have a comeback soon!"

"I really can't help it," Minjoo mutters again, flinching even when Hitomi is being as gentle as she possibly can while tending the wounds decorating her legs. "I can't think straight with you here. I can only think gay--HII-CHAN THAT HURTS!"

"This is a serious business, Minjoo. I get it if you earned the bruises from practice but these can only be earned from skating outside. Unsupervised."

"Hey! I'm not a toddler who needs extra care 24/7!" Minjoo protested heatedly. "It's just that gravity loves me so much!"

"Gravity huh?" Hitomi's chuckle is filled with disbelief and amusement. "So if there isn't any gravity, you're guaranteed to not have any accidents?"

"Well," Minjoo begins, thinking quickly. "Even if there isn't any gravity, maybe there's a bigger chance of me not having accidents as often as when there is one. But still, even if there isn't gravity on this world, I can guarantee I'd still fall for you--HII-CHAN WILL YOU STOP--"
