Born With My Idol

(Chapter 8) Feelings?

Today is just another normal day at the I-dle dorm. Yuqi is out for her schedule. Soyeon and Miyeon are it out to film Amazing Saturday. It's just Soojin, Shuhua, Minnie, and me at the dorm.

We haven't discussed about me being a member of the group yet, but the company seems to be debating about it. They said I should take things slow first, try to adapt to this life first before going into extreme actions.

"Hey, how bout we watch a movie?" Minnie said as she sat on the couch.

"Here?" I said.

Wait....Am I assuming she was asking me out.

"Oh, no no no no, I mean where should we watch.. it's not that I'm assuming or whatever-" I blabber excuses at her.

"I didn't say anything though, why are you so defensive about it?" She said making fun of me.

I got her arm playfully."Yahhhh~~" I wined at her.

"Okay, I'll be serious.... Let's go to the theaters, there is a new movie coming out today." She said as she stood up not even waiting for my answer. But who am I to decline.

We both changed to head out.

I changed and fixed myself a couple of times. I was pacing back in forth and I happened to meet Shuhua, who was eating ice cream, in the hallway.

"Where you goin?" Shuhua asked.

"Oh, uh, with Minnie Eonni. We're going to watch a movie." I said as I fix myself in the mirror near the living room.

"Ooooh~~, a date huh?" She asked me smirking.

"Aniya, were both just bored." I retorted her.

"If you say so~~" She playfully said as passed me with a smile.

Date huh?

"Let's go?" Minnie said as she waits in front of the door leaning against the wall.

Now that's cool.

"Y-yeah" Gosh why am I stuttering?

We headed out to the nearest movie theater.

"I'll buy the tickets, no need to worry." She said as she takes out her wallet.

She took out some money but accidentally dropped a card.

I picked it up for her but halted as I saw what it was.

It's a driver's license.

"Oh.. Thanks." She said and took the license from my hand flustered.

I wonder why she didn't take the car with her even if she had a driver's license. If we just drove here together then we would have no problem hailing a taxi.

"Why didn't you drive the car here? It could've been faster and more comfortable." I said to her.

She didn't look at me in the eye this time and looked away before murmuring something.

"I just don't want to make the same mistake again." She said as she looked down. She must've thought I didn't hear her.

"What?" I asked her pretending.

"No, nothing, c'mon let go in there's no more line." She avoided the question.

We went to watch a romance movie. I didn't notice this earlier but now that we're here, I realized this place is full of couples.

I looked at Minnie on my right who's focused on the movie. She must've sensed me staring.

"Is my face that beautiful for you to be distracted by it while watching the movie?" She said to me cheekily.

I snorted at her. "As if." I stuck my tongue out at her.

I actually would prefer watching her than this boring old movie. But now that I'm at it, I am utterly cold dumb to me be wearing a skirt. Idiot me.

To add more to the cliche the couples in the front started flirting. Gosh, get a room!

The guy in front of us even faked a yawn just to wrap his hand around the girl's shoulders. I snorted at them.

"Why are you jealous of their sweetness?" Minnie whispered to my ear.

"Of course not, that move is so old." I faced her with a playful expression.

"Really? How bout this?.... Do you know how many shoulders does a human have?" She said.

"2 of course," I replied.

"No, it's not." She said." Let me count for you."

"1" She pointed to her right shoulder
"2" She pointed to her left shoulder
"3" She pointed to my right shoulder "4." She wrapped her arms on my shoulders to reach my left.

I tried to hide the smile that was forming. "That's even more cheesier." I hit her arm playfully again.

"You like it though since your not trying to break free." She smirked at me, with a victorious look.

I admit it though. I do like being in this position.

"This is warmer too." She whispered to my ears.

So this is what it feels like to be on a date with Kim Minnie.

Our day went on as we went to the nearby park. We walked to the pathway with beautiful trees in them.

We were walking side by side as any simple day would go, but Minnie decided to make a move.

She held my hand. Why is my heart thumping like it's going to burst out any time?

I looked at her flustered.

"What?" She just pretended to not know. I just scoffed at her confidence and walked again.

"I love it here you know that. We always came here before." She said as we stopped at a rail.

"It's beautiful," I said as I looked at the peaceful view.

This place is quite healing. It makes me think.

These past days I grew closer to Minnie. We would always spend time together. She would always treat me like a princess. She would always be sweet like this.

Because of that, I started to be afraid.

What if one day, I vanish from Mira's consciousness?

What would happen if Minnie knew I'm not her? Would she accept me? Will she hate me?

Just the thought of it made me anxious.

"I like you better this way, you know that." She said like she knew what I was thinking.

"It feels like you're a completely different person." Minnie said as she strengthens her hold in my hand.

"But the change in you is good. You care for others more and your a lot more appreciating." She faced me.

She said all that while I'm just here staring on the floor not knowing what to respond.

I faced her as I forced a smile.

"I guess I should be like this forever then. " I told her trying to hide the anxiety eating me inside.

If this continues I might end up falling for you Minnie.

And if that happens I won't be able to stop myself from being selfish. I won't be able to stop myself from using Mira's life for the desire that I want.

And I can't do that, that'll be taking away what's not supposed to be mine.
