Minji sat behind the counter with Handong next to her. The Chinese girl had ordered some dinner for herself since she needed to close up today and, just like always, there were no customers in the shop.
"Can you eat a bit more quietly? You're stressing me out!" Minji asked, glaring at the red haired woman.
"Oh come on, we both know I'm not your cause of stress right now" Handong replied with a chuckle.
"Okay fine, but you are not helping!" Minji protested, nervously playing with her fingers while looking at the glass door. "She should be here any minute now" she stated.
"Or she forgot and she's not coming" Handong decided to tease, wanting to see how Minji would react to that.
"She wouldn't" Minji said, looking at her fingers and suddenly looking at Handong "Would she? Oh god what if she forgot and I'm here waiting for her like an idiot??"
"Hey, relax" the Chinese laughed putting a hand on Minji's shoulder and squeezing it. "I was just joking. Why would she invite you to dance two times and then just forget?"
"I don't know but... it's raining and it's really cold outside and I don't even have her number. What if she changed her mind because of the weather?" Minji panicked.
"I'm sure that Siyeon person would have told you that when she was here to pick Yubin up half an hour ago" Handong reassured her "Stop. Panicking!"
"Really Handong? Have you seen Siyeon?" Minji said rolling her eyes "I'm pretty sure she didn't see anything but Yubin and she literally couldn't wait to take her somewhere with a bed!" Minji protested.
"Well... You're right" she laughed "But just be patient! It's not even 8pm yet! I'm sure she will be here on time"
Minji looked at her phone and she showed it to Handong "See? It's 8 pm right now! She's not coming. Of course she's not. There is a storm outside, why should sh-" Minji was saying when the bell on the door rang. The two girls turned towards the door to see a soaked Bora, trying to dry her hair with her hands.
"So... there is a storm outside. I don't have an umbrella and I had to park there blocks from here! I'm soaked!" Bora chuckled, smiling to Minji.
"What?! You-... You should've driven past here and made some sound with your car! Look at you!" Minji chuckled, searching for a towel and running to Bora to put it on her shoulders.
"What? How sad would that be? I invite you somewhere and I just honk the horn in front of the door? No no, if I pick you up... I walk you to the car" Bora said, shaking her head and wrapping the towel on her shoulders "Thank you"
"Bora... you're gonna catch a cold like this! I don't want you to walk in a storm because of me..." Minji sighed, looking at Bora's face now and gulping when she saw the wet strands of hair clinging to the girl's face.
!"That would be worth it" Bora admitted with a smile, suddenly taking Minji's hand "Come on, take an umbrella and let's go so I can change as soon as we arrive at the studio and put on some dry clothes" Bora chuckled.
"I... I... your hair it-" Minji started saying but she stopped herself by shaking her head and walking to the backroom repeating the word 'umbrella' out loud multiple times.
"My hair?" Bora mumbled, not understanding what Minji was talking about. "It's a mess right? I'm sorry, I swear it looked decent when I left the studio" Bora said with a little pout, trying to fix the hair somehow.
"I'm pretty sure Minji meant it was a 'hot' mess" Handong commented while Minji was still in the backroom. "I mean, she isn't wrong"
"Oh... y-you really think she thought that?" Bora asked with a shy smile and Handong nodded, chuckling.
