Born With My Idol

(Chapter 5) Heart

Well, Minnie is my company today since it's Tuesday. It's already been 3 months through the rehabilitation and I have improved a lot.

These days I can do many things already from walking to writing. My doctor said I should be ready for discharge in a few days but there's a problem...

"You'll be alone once you get discharged honey since your father and I have a business to deal with in Sydney, we won't be able to take care of you. " My mom said while caressing my hair.

"It's okay Mom, I'm already old enough to be able alone, you don't have to worry. " I replied as I looked back at my mother's worried face.

"Even though you're old enough, Mira, you're still a new recovered patient, it'll be bad for you to live alone." Now my dad was the one who began retorting.

"I'm really okay now-" I was cut by the door opening.

Minnie came in with the drink she bought.

"Oh, Aunt, Uncle, sorry if I interrupted your conversation, but I would like to suggest something...." She scratched the back of her neck.

"What if she stays in our dorm? I mean we still have a spare room there and we can take care of her as well." Minnie said.

My father looked at my mother before speaking. "Minnie-yah, we would love to accept your offer but you girls have already done many things for Mira, we wouldn't want to burden you anymore."

"Mira would never be a bother for us and I bet the members would be willing to do it," Minnie replied hoping to get a yes.

My mom and dad locked eyes and sighed in defeat before speaking. "Okay, since you proposed the idea we'd like to accept it." My dad said.

Minnie's eyes beamed with excitement as she heard Dad's response. She then went close to my bed and held my hand.

"Will you be okay with staying with us?" Minnie asked me as if she won't take no for an answer.

Why would I not want to live with I-dle? I mean that's like my lifelong dream.

"I'll be glad to stay with you guys, as long as I'm not a burden," I replied to her concealing my inner fan reaction.

"You're never a burden to us," Minnie said then hugged me.

I stayed stiff shocked by the fact that my idol is hugging my right freaking now. But before I could even return her hug she pulled away. My life in heaven only lasted for a few seconds.

Minnie picked up her phone hurriedly. "I'll tell the others about it." She skipped out of the room happily.

My mom laughed at her actions. "After so many things you both went through, Minnie still is head over heels." She said and faced my Dad.

He just chuckled at her comment. "Behave there okay, take care of yourself, and tell us if anything happens." He ruffled my hair slightly.

I nodded to him in response.

Lunch came and the other members are here now celebrating the fact that I will be staying at their dorm.

Yuqi sat beside the bed. "Where will you be staying at the Miyeon Eonni's or ours?" She asked. I actually didn't know as Minnie didn't really say much about it.

I shook my head, causing her to abrupt grab my hand. "Stay in our dorm! It's quieter and we can play games together." Yuqi said excitedly.

" What do you mean quiet, with you around, will there be quiet, huh Song Yuqi?" Shuhua who was across the room shouted.

"I think it's better than if she stays with us since me and Minnie are mostly in the dorm making music." Soyeon now interrupted, looking at Minnie for a sign of approval.

"What do you think, Mira?" Minnie now looked at me. Now you put the pressure on me?

"I think it's better for me to stay at your dorm, Minnie Eonni, since I still need company." I scratched the back of my neck.

Shuhua ended up sulking but was still okay with the decision.

The other girls left after spending the afternoon here but Minnie insisted to stay, she said she wanted to take care of me till I fall asleep.

So here we are now watching TV cause there's nothing else to do.

I was watching the TV commercial shampoo and I realized something.

How does my hair smell like after sleeping for 6 years?

I sniffed it lightly.

It smells like the hospital sheets that are newly washed. I snickered as I put down the hair I was smelling, to my demise Minnie was actually looking at my weird action.

"Let me guess, you think you need a shower?" She asked then chuckled.

I nodded my head nonchalantly.

She then went out to get the doctor's permission for it and eventually got a yes.

She helped me go to the bathroom but only to the door.

I did my bathroom necessities and since this is such a luxurious hospital, it had a shower with great water temperature.

"Feel better now." Minnie looked in my direction as she put down the phone she was just using.

"Yeah, I guess a bath after six years is quite refreshing." I chuckled as I lay onto my bed trying to dry my hair in a towel.

My hair was thick enough to be a rag so it took longer than expected, now my arms are tired from moving too much.

Minnie must've noticed my struggle so she got up from her seat.

"Here, let me help you." She took the towel from my hands and stood between my legs, since the hospital bed was risen up my face is exactly aligned to her's.

I gulped at the gap between our faces. Gosh me and my fantasies. If the heartbeat machine was here now it would've shown my erratic heart now.

She moved even closer grabbing the end of my hair to dry. Am I the only one panicking in this situation?

I could literally feel her breathing in my face, it's like inches apart.

"Okay, done." She let go of my hair. I was still looking at her mesmerized by the situation and not being able to function.

She stared back at me too, like in that moment the world stopped as her eyes stared deeply into my soul.

Gosh, I'm whipped for my idol.

We stayed like that for a long time, I guess until my mom walked into the room.

"We're back! Our prin-" My mom stopped at her tracks.

Minnie quickly pulled away from me like we were caught doing something bad.

"Did I interrupt something? Should I leave?" My mom gestured to the door.

"No, Auntie, I was just helping her dry her hair." Minnie chuckled nervously.

"If you say so~~" My mom said grinning.

Minnie then excused herself and went out.

As she finally exited the door I held my chest as it was still thumping like crazy. Gosh this Kim Minnie effect is amazing.

"Looks like the heart really doesn't forget." My mom said as she put the things she bought on the table.

The heart doesn't forget...

What does she mean by that....
