Part One |

“I'm never drinking again.” You groan, rubbing your head, squeezing your eyes shut as you try to sooth your throbbing head. The only thing you remembered about last night was dancing with that guy and then everything goes blank. You take a deep breath in and out before your eyes shoot open. You sniff harder, smelling something delicious, wondering who was in your apartment. And then it hit you, you weren't even home. You looked around, recognizing Hyunjin's room immediately. You crawl out of his bed, your feet shuffling out the door and down the hallway, towards the delicious smell. As you get closer you can hear Felix and Hyunjin talking.

“Food always gets her up. Just wait.” Felix laughed. He knew you so well.

“This smells so good.” You groan, sitting down at the island as you watch the two make pancakes, bacon and eggs.

“I told you.” Felix says, glancing at Hyunjin.

“Good morning.” Hyunjin says, smiling at you as he slides a plate in front of you.

“Morning.” You smile, picking up your fork, ready to dig in. But you couldn't. You looked up at the two men, who were staring at you smirking.

“Do I have something on my face?” you ask, wiping your face off. Neither of them reply, they just keep cooking, glancing at you and smirking.

You take a few bites of your food, trying to ignore those two but flashes of last night keep playing in your head.

“Did I.. “ you pause. “Did I do something last night?” You ask.

Hyunjin and Felix look at each other and then back at you. “Okay, what!?” You yell.

“Maybe I need to get off too.. cause of you two!” Felix says, his voice deep, his eyes on you.

“The things I wanna do to the two of you are not platonic.” Hyunjin says.

Your fork drops as you gasp. Your hands cover your mouth as you stare at them both, your eyes wide. The memories come flooding back to you like a tidal wave and you want to actually fucking die.

“That.. I, um. Wow. Okay so I was drunk. Like really drunk. My sincerest apologies. I'm gonna go.” You mumble. You slip out of the chair quicker than you realized, slipping on your shoes and grabbing your purse and heading out the door. You could not believe you had said all that. you were gonna be embarrassed for the rest of your life. Once you had walked a couple blocks you called a cab so you could properly grieve and call Seulgi so she could talk you off the ledge.

“You said what!?” She gasps.

“Yeah.. drunk me has no sense of boundaries apparently.” You sigh.

“So what are you gonna do?” She asks.

“I'm going to handle it like a mature adult.” You declare. “And pretend it never happened.” You can hear Selgui sigh on the other end of the phone.

Once you're home, you collapse in your bed, closing your eyes while your brain replays the things you said to Hyunjin and Felix the night before. Drunk you really liked to speak your sober thoughts apparently. As embarrassed as you were, you were feeling more anxious than anything. Based on their reactions this morning you knew your friendship wasn't ruined with them, but you couldn't help but feel guilty for saying those things. What if you had made them uncomfortable? What if they started distancing themselves from you? You were a ball of stress and you weren't sure how, or if you could make things better.

You spent the rest of the day in bed, ignoring any phone call and text that made your phone ring. You just wanted to wallow in your self pity for a little bit longer before facing anyone. Part of you knew it wasn't a very big deal, but the other part was mad because you had done so well to keep yourself in a platonic place with them. Finally a few hours later, and after you couldn't stand listening to the beeps and ringing of your phone anymore, you looked at it. All the messages from Felix and Hyunjin, not to mention the phone calls from them as well as from Chan, Changbin and Han begging you to come over for homemade pizza night. you decided to text Han back, letting him know that you'll be right there. You didn't wait for a reply, not that you needed to, but you got dressed and headed over to face the music.

Walking into the house, it's unusually quiet. Where were those rowdy boys? All you could hear was the low humming that was coming from the kitchen. You followed the sound, finding Felix in the kitchen, rolling out dough.

“Hey.” You smile, sitting at the island that you left in a rush only a few hours before.

“Hey you.” He grins, looking up for a second before focusing back on his dough. “The others had to run out for a bit, but we'll let the dough rise and then make the pizzas.” He tells you. You nod your head, feeling too nervous to say anything.

“Can I get you a cocktail?” He asks.

“Oh god, please.” You smile. You knew you shouldn't, but what more could you say to him? Felix quickly whips you up something delicious and you drink it far too quickly.

“Good thing I made extra.” He chuckles, filling your cup again. This time you sip on it as he works on more dough. “What's up? Why do you seem all weird?” He asks.

“What?” You question. You were acting weird, you were quiet and distant.

“Is it because of last night?” He asks, not looking up at you.

“Yeah.” You sigh. “I don't want things to be weird with the three of us.”

“Why would things be weird?” He asks, now looking at you.

“Because of what.. I, you know, said.” You mutter. Felix laughs.

“Maybe I want you to use me non platonically.” He smirks, looking up at you.

Your stomach drops. You stare at him, your mouth hanging open. “I'm.. what?” You ask. But before Felix can reply, you both hear the front door open. You turn your head to look at the entryway, and in walks Hyunjin with a smile plastered on his face.

“There's my girl.” He says, grabbing your chin. “What's going on?” He asks, looking between your shocked face and Felix.

“I think I'm dreaming.” You say, turning back to look at Felix who continues to smirk at you. You pinch your cheek, just to see, but you're not. This is real life.

“Pizza!” You can hear Changbin yell, as the rest of the boys come into the kitchen. They all hug you before standing around the island, Felix giving everyone their dough, and placing all the topping options, cheese and sauce in the middle. The rest of the night you could barely focus, Felix's words replaying in your head.

“Maybe I want you to use me non platonically.”

Was he interested in you? Was he joking? You wanted to ask him, but you didn't want to do it in front of everyone, so you left it. Later that night, as you were trying to sleep in your bed, you fell asleep to the thought of using him non platonically.

Over the next few days, you didn't see much of anyone. They said they had a lot of things going on, and you didn't question it. Sometimes they were very suspicious but you figured they were just being guys. With nothing to do, you made plans with Seulgi and a few other friends for a girls night. But of course, the night that you had plans was the night that the guys wanted to do something.

“How?” You laugh at one of the girls. “How do you manage to score four dudes in one singular night?” You ask. “I can barely get one.”

Everyone at the table laughs at your comment to Lisa. This is what you needed, a fun night out with some girls, and a guy named Mike who had tagged along. It was a good way to get your mind off of things. You took a shot from one of the bottles on the table, beginning to feel tipsy as you eat a little bit of food. You look at Seulgi who is looking at you with a weird look on her face.

“What?” You ask. Her eyes dart over to the left, you look over and see Felix and Hyunjin sitting at a table with two girls you didn't recognize. Your heart sank as you stared at the girls smiling while they're talking. You glance over at the boys, but they don't look like they're enjoying themselves as much as the girls are.

They must have felt your stare, or maybe you stared for too long, but they looked over, directly at you, and seemed shocked to see you. You gave them a slight smile and wave before turning back to your other friends. You tried to ignore them, but you could feel their eyes burning into the side of your head as you spoke, your group drunkenly trying to figure out what to do after dinner.

“Do you guys wanna go to the club?” Mike asks, looking at you. You shrug your shoulders. “I wouldn't say no to dancing there.” You smile, glancing at Felix and Hyunjin, who are now walking over to you.

“Are you guys going to the club?” Hyunjin asks, looking at you. You nod your head, your heart beating quicker. They could do nothing and your heart flutters with butterflies in your stomach.

“We'll see you there.” Felix smiles, walking out of the restaurant with the two girls and Hyunjin. You shake your head, trying to get the thought of them out of your head.

The moment you get to the club, you, Seulgi and Mike head straight for the bar. The three of you take a few shots before heading out to the dance floor, leaving Mike to sit there. You always loved dancing with girlfriends, because you never had to worry about unwanted touching. The two of you danced by yourself for a bit, until Mike decided to join you, and for some reason he had decided he wanted to dance with you. His hands grabbed your hips to pull you in close to him, but you really didn't want to. Seugli had disappeared on you, leaving you to fight him off on your own. He turns you around to face him, his hands roaming your body. You push him away, but he grabs your wrist, holding it tightly.

“I just wanna dance with you.” Mike grits through his teeth. You can see the anger bubbling up through his body.

“I don't want to dance with you. I'm sorry.” You say, trying to free your wrist from his grip.

“One dance. That's all I want. You can't tease me and then not give me what I want.” He scoffs.

“Excuse me?” You yell, pulling your wrist from his grip. “I never fucking teased you. I said no, so fucking listen.” You turn to walk away from him but he grabs you again, holding you even tighter, trying to pull you off the dance floor. You fight him with all you had but he just holds on tighter, pulling you away. Until you halt, you look up and see Hyunjin standing in front of Mike, he's angry. Your wrist is released, Felix now holding onto Mike's hand, twisting his wrist hard, causing Mike to fall to his knees.

“Don't you know what no means?” Felix asks, his voice scary as he glares at Mike. You turn and run to Hyunjin, he wraps his arms around you as he continues to stare at Mike. Felix leans down, whispering into Mike's ear. “You touch her again, I'll fucking kill you. Got it?”

Luckily you don't hear him as you nuzzle into Hyunjin's chest. Until you realize that they had dates, and they needed to get back to them. You felt guilty, it seemed like you were always getting into situations that they needed to save you from and that wasn't fair. You backed away from Hyunjin, looking sad and guilty.

“You guys have dates. They're probably looking for you.” You say, looking up at them both. “Thank you for helping me, and I'm sorry you have to keep saving me.” You whisper.

Felix and Hyunjin look at each other before looking back at you. “Don't apologize.” Hyunjin smiles.

“We'd go to war for you, baby.” Felix winks before he and Hyunjin leave to find the girls they were with. Finally Seulgi comes back, explaining she was waiting in the longest line for the bathroom.

“What happened!? Why are you crying?” She asks.

“Mike.” You sniffle. “He wanted to dance and I didn't. He got really aggressive.” Seulgi looks guilty as she listens to you.

“I'm so sorry.” She whispers, pulling you in for a hug.

“Luckily Hyunjin and Felix saved me.” You chuckle. “I don't know where Mike went off too.”

“Fuck Mike, he's banned from the group now.” She says. “Where did Felix and Hyunjin go?” She asks.

“I sent them back with their dates.” You say. She nods her head.

“What do you wanna do?” She asks. “Stay or go?”

“I'm gonna go. But you stay. Honestly, I just need some air. I'm gonna walk home. I promise I'll be fine. I'll call you when I'm home.” You say, giving a slight smile. She hugs you tightly, and watches you walk out of the club.

You really didn't want to call a cab but you did. You weren't dumb, you knew something bad could happen if you walked. You didn't want to bother any of the boys. You stood outside the club, waiting for your cab and you were annoyed, you felt like you only attracted men who didn't have good intentions and you didn't know why. You just wanted someone.. maybe two men who loved you with everything they had, like you felt for them. Honestly you just wanted Hyunjin and Felix and you didn't know how much longer you could fight off these feelings. It felt like they were bubbling up to your chest now and it was only a matter of them before they made your head explode.

You paid your fare and headed inside your apartment. You turned on your shower to the hottest that you could handle to scrub off the feeling of Mike's hands on your body. You couldn't help thinking about what could have happened to you had Felix and Hyunjin not been there for you. As you finish in the shower, you come out and check your phone seeing an email you'd been waiting for. A few weeks ago you had interviewed for a receptionist job at an elite law office. You nervously opened the email, screaming and dropping your phone in excitement as you jumped around your room. You got the job and you were so happy to not be living off of your savings anymore. You pick up your phone, reading the rest of the email, seeing you still had a few days before you were starting, you were so happy you completely forgot about what had happened that night. You fell asleep quickly, feeling like everything was going to be okay.

The next morning you woke up, in a great mood and ready for the day. You looked at your phone, seeing a message from Felix.

[9:58am From Felix] Morning, Can I take you to lunch today? I need to talk to you.

A knot immediately formed in your stomach. This was going to be bad. He's going to end the friendship or something. He was probably tired of you and your shit. You didn't want to go, but you needed to know. Your anxiety wouldn't let you not know and you wouldn't be able to function.

[10:09am To Felix] That doesn't sound good. Let me know when and where.

[10:11am From Felix] Same restaurant as last night. Meet you there at 11:30am]

You don't reply. You can't. You can feel the lump in your throat getting bigger. You tried your best to get ready, to make yourself look decent but you were on the verge of tears and you couldn't control it. The thought of losing one of your best friends was devastating.

You sit at the table, your fingers interlaced as you wait for Felix. Your head is down as you try to breathe through the anxiety. You hear the door open, your head shoots up and you see Felix and Hyunjin walk in. There are no smiles, no happy greetings and you knew this was going to be bad. The two men sit down, across from you, staring at you.

“Did you order?” Felix asks, looking at the menu.

“I can't eat right now.” You whisper. Fuck. Your tears were going to start spilling right away.

“Neither can I.” He sighs, closing the menu. “Look, the reason I asked you to lunch and that Hyunjin joined too is that we really need to talk to you about something.” He says.

The tears fall as you look at them. They're now staring at you confused.

“Why are you crying?” Hyunjin asks, reaching over to wipe your tears.

“I don't want to lose you guys.” You cry. They look at each other before looking back at you.

“Why are you losing us?” Felix asks.

“Isn't that what this is? You're ending the friendship?” You ask.

Felix laughs. “I guess in a sense.” He says. He reaches over and grabs your hands. “This isn't about ending anything. More so taking it to the next level.”

You stare at him. “next level? Like ultimate best friends?’ you ask.

They both laugh, and then stone faces as they take a deep breath. “I'm falling in love with you.” Felix admits.

“What?” You whisper.

“And I'm falling in love with you.” Hyunjin admits. “And we don't know what to do.”

“We don't want to ruin things if you don't feel the same but neither of us could hold it in any longer.” Felix says.

Suddenly the tears flow, you take your hands back to cover your face as you sob. Neither of them say a word as you cry. Until Felix's phone rings.

“Yeah Chan?” He answers. “Fuck. Now? Shit okay, we're on our way.” He says. He looks at Hyunjin who immediately knows what's going on.

“We gotta go. But we're having a party tonight. Please come and we can talk.” Felix tells you as they both stand up and walk out the door.

You're in shock. That's not at all how you thought that conversation was going to go.

They are both falling in love with you. And you're already in love with them both. What do you do? Do you choose one and leave one heartbroken, while also leaving yourself heartbroken. Did you date both? Could you date both? Would they be okay with that? You stand up and head home, your mind swirling with thoughts on what to do. You couldn't believe it.

Later that night you got yourself ready for the party, you were very confident on what you were going to do. And you hoped they didn't ask you to choose because you wouldn't be able to. You wanted to give dating both of them both a try. If the three of you put in the effort, you were sure that you guys could do it.

You walk through the door of the party, seeing the house was filled with people. Changbin and Han run up to you, engulfing you in hugs before Han demands another beer chugging rematch.

“We will, later.” You laugh. “Do you know where Felix and Hyunjin are?” You ask.

“I think in the kitchen.” He tells you, going over to say hi to someone else. You make your way to the kitchen, seeing Felix standing there talking to someone. You take a deep breath, and head straight for him. He smiles as he sees you walk up to him. You press up against his chest, sliding your hand on the back of his head, pulling his head down closer to you. He stares into your eyes as you move your face closer and closer, until your lips touch his. As soon as your lips touch, he takes control. He spins you around, pinning you against the fridge as he deepens the kiss, slipping his tongue into your mouth.

Felix breaks the kiss, stepping away from you with a grin on his face. You look past him seeing Hyunjin standing there. You motion him to come to you with your finger. He walks towards you, and you move past Felix, grabbing onto Hyunjin's collar and pulling him down. His lips touch yours and he quickly slides his tongue into your mouth, hardening the kiss.

He pulls away from you, grinning at you and Felix. You guide Hyunjin to stand next to Felix and you clear your throat as you look at both of them.

“I can't choose, and I won't choose. I'm falling hard for you both and I want you both. If you're okay with that then I'm all in, but if you're not then it won't work.” You tell them.

“I'm in.” Hyunjin smiles.

“I'm all in.” Felix says. You were so fucking happy in this moment. You kissed them both before grabbing some celebratory shots. The three of you take a few shots before you drag them both to the living room to dance. You feel as though you're in heaven, grinding your ass into Felix and Hyunjin grinds in front of you. Your happiness is short lived, as the front door busts open and in walks eight men, one of which you recognize. The music shuts off as Chan, Changbin, Jeogin, Minho, Han, Felix and Hyunjin stand in front of the intruders.

“What the hell are you doing here Hongjoong?” Chan yells. The man just laughs.

“What? You thought you could start doing illegal mods on cars and I wouldn't fucking find out?” He yells.

What was going on?

“Is business slow?” Chan asks. “Maybe if you were better at your job, you wouldn't lose so many clients.” He says, fake pouting. Hongjoong turns red as anger consumes him.

“Me and you. A race now, the winner keeps doing mods, and the loser closes up shop.” He yells. Everyone begins cheering but you feel confused. You'd heard about street racing, but you had no idea that they were involved in it. You look at Felix and Hyunjin, who look guilty.

“Y/N.” You hear from across the room. You look over and a familiar man walks over to you. You squint your eyes as he comes closer, and then it hits you. It was San. You had a mini fling with him years ago and ended on good terms and as friends.

“San! Oh my god.” You laugh, running up to him, wrapping your arms around him. “So good to see you.” You laugh, letting go of the large man. Hyunjin and Felix are on each side of you, glaring at their enemy.

“Get your hands off of her.” Felix snaps, pulling you back, and closer to him.

“We used to hook up.” San winks. You roll your eyes.

“If you can even call it that.” You laugh.

“It was good to see you, Y/N.” He says, winking at you before walking towards his group. You turn to Hyunjin and Felix, a stern look on your face.

“Street racing?” You gasp.

“Y/N.. listen.” Hyunjin starts.

“How long?” You ask. “How long have you guys been doing this shit and why didn't you tell me?”

“Since before we met.” Felix says. “It's not that we didn't want to tell you.”

“We just wanted to protect you.” Hyunjin says. “We're involved with a lot of dangerous people. We just want to keep you safe.”

“Hyunjin, Felix. Let's go.” Chan yells. The crowd disperses, heading out to wherever the race is going to be.

“Go to one of our rooms.” Felix says. “We'll be back in a bit.”

You scoff at the handsome man. “Absolutely not.” You deadpan.

“I'm coming with you.”

Jun Kyungshi exhaled softly as she tiptoed through the darkened car park, taking care not to trip while still keeping an eye on her target.

The man she followed was 27-year-old Kim Yugyeom, a former JYP agent. Yugyeom, along with the rest of his agent group GOT7, had gone rouge a few months earlier. The seven men had then split up, taking on solo missions as assassins, bounty hunters, and other similar dirty jobs.

Yugyeom's current occupation was that of a "janitor" for a local gang; that is, he cleaned up loose ends by bribing people in power and killing allies who were likely to spill their secrets.

His most recent job had been securing the death of Taeyeon, a solo agent working undercover for SM, the very agency that Kyungshi was under. Kyungshi had been a close friend of the older woman, and was devastated to hear of her death. The Boss had not objected to Kyungshi going after Yugyeom, so there she was.

Yugyeom froze suddenly, and Kyungshi cursed mentally as he began speaking to someone through what was obviously an earpiece. A quick glance at her surroundings showed a single security camera that was fixed on her. Damnit, how could I have been so careless?! She berated herself.

Deciding to act while she still had some element of surprise, she stood to her feet and leapt forward, clearing the large Volvo in front of her in one smooth motion. Out of its holster came her beloved .32 mm Glock, a silencer attached to the barrel. She lined up her shot and fired quickly.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Three shots echoed through the silent night air. Yugyeom turned, gazing at Kyungshi in shock, and for a moment she feared that she had missed. But then she saw the rapidly growing patches of crimson that stained his white button-up, and she allowed herself a small smile as the older man crumpled to the ground without a word.

She fired off a fourth shot, destroying the camera that had followed her movements before it could record her face. Then she climbed into her own black BMW and sped away from the scene.

As she drove, she switched on her own earpiece and spoke. "Agent Jun reporting mission accomplished."

The static-laced voice of her friend Selgui responded immediately. "Good work Agent Jun. The Boss has summoned you to headquarters, so you'd best clean up and head straight there."

Kyungshi frowned. Usually the boss only called on agents when something bad happened. "What happened Selgui?"

Selgui's voice was soft and sad as she replied "Hybe has struck again."

(9) 626 days: phthalo green

Myoui Mina x reader

Part of the series: Palette

Previous chapter: (8) 730 days: teal blue

626 days. 

Time flew by swiftly, like an arrow slicing through the days, leaving only faint traces in its wake. Amidst this fleeting passage of time, the moments spent with Mina became etched memories in your mind, forever engraved in your thoughts. The idol herself was immersed in the relentless preparations for the upcoming global concert, dedicating herself to tireless rehearsals that often brought her to the brink of fatigue. However, despite her demanding schedule, she always made time for you. She would often stay overnight at your place, and would sometimes pick you up from work. She even had her own keys to your flat, and her clothes had found a designated space in your closet.

Things were moving too fast, but you couldn’t bring yourself to slow it down. With Mina, everything felt so simple, and as natural as breathing. 

It was 7 p.m. on a Friday night, and you were still working at the bustling studio with the team. Selgui's prowess had worked wonders since the JYP concert filming, drawing flocks of impressed clients who were captivated by the concepts and exceptional skills reflected in the photographs.

The team was exhausted, your weary bodies sought solace in brief rests between shoots. Minji was constantly slumped against chairs for quick 5-minute naps, while Hanni's breaks were filled with murmurs of nonsensical rambles. Even the ever-energetic Danielle was quiet for most of the time. Surprisingly, it was Karina who remained the lively one. You couldn't help but suspect that the presence of a particular flirty ITZY idol occupied her thoughts, providing an undeniable source of energy and joy. Karina has been on cloud nine for the past few months, but you couldn’t really blame her. They had the connection established and this would make you constantly crave your soulmate's affection. 

Today was the first time you worked with Le Sserafim, and they were an interesting group to work with. The older girls assumed the role of protective bodyguards for their maknae, Eunchae. Despite being newcomers, they displayed remarkable professionalism and undeniable chemistry.

You were currently taking the last shots of Yunjin,the fellow American. She was one of the loudest people you have ever met, with a booming laughter and easy-going manner. 

Minji enthusiastically clapped her hands and declared, "And... that's a wrap!" Her excitement to wrap up the session and head home was palpable.

However, before anyone could make a move, the studio door swung open with a forceful slam, revealing Ryujin striding in, her gaze immediately searching for Karina.

Her voice echoed through the studio as she loudly asked, "Where is my baby?!"

Finally catching a glimpse of Karina still on the high-stool, Ryujin approached her, wrapping her arms around the tall beauty and peppering her face with kisses. 

“Hi beautiful, I missed you.” Ryujin and Karina stared at each other in the eyes lovingly, completely unaware of the people around them.

“Ryujin!” You hissed, “Ryujin! Rina!” 

The Le Sserafim girls shifted uncomfortably at the front of the studio, while Hanni comically mimicked puking into a nearby bin. 

Sensing the need for intervention, you swiftly grabbed a piece of paper, rolled it into a ball, and hurled it at the couple, hitting Ryujin on the back of her head.

"What?" Ryujin pulled back, giving you a glare in annoyance.

"Relax. I remembered to pick up the toddler from school."

"Yah! Who are you calling a toddler?" Haerin suddenly appeared beside you, hands on her hips in fury, with Jennifer perched on her shoulders.

"You’re the toddler! You were the one complaining the whole ride here about how Karina unnie didn't tuck you into bed yesterday."

You were taken aback by the sudden outburst of words from Haerin, too surprised to scold her for being rude to Ryujin. Haerin had never spoken more than a single sentence in front of strangers, let alone this loudly. It was unusual to witness such an outburst from her. Ryujin and Haerin had always shared a love-hate relationship, with Ryujin's teasing being her way of expressing affection. 

"Says the girl who still sleeps with her stuffed animals," Ryujin retorted, flicking Haerin's forehead in response, hard.

Minji quickly intervened, seeing Haerin about to throw hands. "Um... Ryujin unnie, we have clients here."

It was at that moment that Ryujin finally noticed the group of girls standing in the front of the studio, their eyes darting away.

"Ah." In a sudden burst of embarrassment, Ryujin disentangled herself from Karina and hastily bowed. The Le Sserafim girls quickly followed suit. "Annyeonghaseyo."

"Annyeonghaseyo, Ryujin Sunbae," Chaewon politely greeted back, mustering the manners befitting a leader, despite her own embarrassment.

An awkward silence descended upon the room as everyone avoided eye contact with one another.

"Haerin, why don't you show Eunchae around? You guys are the same age," Karina suggested, breaking the silence.

Haerin remained silent, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on Eunchae, then quickly flicking to the rest of the group. It was evident that the young blonde was overwhelmed by the proximity of her favorite group.

Sakura nudged Eunchae, silently urging her to initiate the conversation.

"Um, hey," Eunchae said, offering a sweet smile. "I like your cat."

Haerin simply nodded, frozen in place.

You let out a sigh. Haerin was undoubtedly one of the most introverted people  you knew.

"What's its name?" Eunchae asked, trying to encourage further conversation.

"His name is Jennifer," Haerin whispered in reply.

The Le Sserafim girls exchanged looks and burst into fits of laughter.

"What?" Yunjin exclaimed. "His name is Jennifer?"

Haerin nodded, her face devoid of emotion, though her fidgeting hands betrayed her nervousness.

"I named him after you," Haerin mumbled, avoiding eye contact and staring down at her toes.

"What?!" You, Ryujin, Karina, and the rest of the team exclaimed simultaneously. This information caught you all off guard. None of you had known that Haerin had purposefully named the cat after Yunjin. In fact, you weren't even aware that Yunjin's real name was Jennifer.

"Oh, um..." For the first time during the shoot, Yunjin found herself at a loss for words. "I'm honored."

Yunjin walked over to Haerin, awkwardly patting her head before bending down to introduce herself to the cat perched on Haerin's shoulders.

"What's up, Jennifer Two?"

The Le Sserafim girls erupted in laughter again, with Chaewon and Kazuha laughing so hard that they knelt down on the floor.

Fortunately, Selgui arrived just in time to officially conclude the photo shoot. You didn’t know which was more chaotic: Haerin having a panic attack at the sight of her idols, or Ryujin and Karina giggling into each others’ ears at the corner of the studio. 

As the shooting ended, you took the opportunity to exchange numbers with Yunjin and Chaewon, realizing that Haerin would be ecstatic at the idea of spending more time with her beloved idols, especially the American member.

As you unlocked the front door and entered your apartment, a delightful aroma engulfed the air, accompanied by the sound of Haerin trailing closely behind. Mina had let herself into your home early. 

Your heart fluttered at the sight of Mina dancing with a spatula as she cooked in your kitchen, having a full-on mini 2NE1 concert. Her back was to you, clad in her oversized bulbasaur green tee (she insisted it was fate that you looked like her favorite Pokemon, which you honestly didn’t know if this was supposed to be a compliment or not), messy bun, and silver-framed glasses, she exuded a captivating charm.

Sure, Mina was beautiful when she was all dolled-up for performances and shows, but it was this cozy and authentic version of the idol that captured your heart. She felt at ease with you, and that was all that truly mattered.

You sneakily walked behind the dancing brunette, wrapping your arms around her delicate waist. 

“What a wonderful surprise. ” You buried your face in her neck, inhaling her soft floral scent. 

She jumped up in surprise before she figured out it was you, placing her hands atop yours that rested on her stomach.

"Jihyo let us off early," the brunette explained, leaning back into your embrace. "I don't think I could handle another three hours of practice today."

"Mhmm," you mumbled into her hair, savoring the closeness. "Well, I'm glad you're here. Feels like I haven't seen you in forever."

"I saw you yesterday," she replied with a laugh, turning around to engulf you in a warm hug.

"Still, I missed you."

"Jagiya," she softly kissed you. "I missed you too."

Mina playfully tugged at the hairs on your neck with her warm hands, her eyes crinkling as she grinned at your flustered expression. Even after all these months, Mina continued to have a profound impact on you, a fact that she took great pride in.

“Ick.” Haerin said as she watched the two of you, face scrunching up in disgust. “I already witnessed enough making out from Ryujin and Karina unnie today.” 

Mina let out a soft laugh of amusement and beckoned the younger blonde over, “I made your favorite.”

At that, Haerin immediately rushed over and checked the pot, squealing in excitement when she saw it was tteokbokki.

"Please help me set up the table," Mina instructed Haerin, pressing a loving kiss on her forehead. Then, she turned to you. "Go freshen up, and we'll enjoy dinner together once you're ready."

"Yes, ma'am," you playfully saluted, dropping your bag and phone on the counter before making your way to the bedroom to wash up.

After a quick shower, you emerged from the bathroom to find Mina and Haerin leaning against the kitchen counter, engaged in a conversation. It warmed your heart to witness Mina's undivided attention as she attentively listened to Haerin.

The younger girl had always struggled to open up to others and rarely initiated conversations. Minji mentioned that Haerin's parents were frequently away on business trips, leaving her alone, you had offered her a place to stay in your spare room. You took on the responsibilities of taking her to school and even ironing her school uniforms. It amazed you how quickly Haerin had embraced Mina's presence, but Mina had a way of bringing comfort and security to those around her. They had developed a close bond, often indulging in late-night conversations and hair-braiding sessions or Mina lending a helping hand with Haerin's homework. The three of you had formed a strong familial connection, and you wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

As you sat down together at the dining table to enjoy the meal, you couldn't help but notice that Mina was acting a bit strange. She seemed to ignore your questions, responding with curt one-word answers, which was a complete one-eighty of how she treated you when you just got back home. Her face contorted into an unusual expression when Haerin mentioned meeting Le Sserafim, her idols, earlier in the day.

When you reached out to comfort her after dinner, placing a hand on her shoulder, she shrugged it off and walked away, leaving you to clear the table alone. Without a word, she slipped into Haerin's room to assist her with a history project on Japan, intentionally avoiding any interaction with you.

Your mind raced, trying to make sense of Mina's sudden change in attitude. Over the past three months, the two of you had never had a fight. Perhaps she had grown tired of spending time with you. After all, you weren't officially dating. Mina had expressed her hesitation to start a relationship, citing the hawk-like management of her company, who closely monitored the girls' personal lives and only approved relationships that would benefit the group's popularity.

"I'm heading back to the dorms," Mina said softly from behind you.

"Oh," you looked up from the soapy dishes in the sink, surprised. "I thought you were staying over today."

Leaning against the wall, arms crossed defensively, Mina wore a guarded expression. Your heart sank at the sight of her hurt face; something was clearly bothering her, something you did.

"No, I..." Mina shook her head and paused, struggling to find the right words. "I want to be alone tonight."

Drying your hands with a towel, you approached the brooding idol. She fidgeted with the hem of her phthalo green T-shirt, avoiding eye contact.

"What's wrong, Min?" you asked, reaching out to gently lift her face to meet your gaze.

Her serious expression, furrowed eyebrows, and pouting lips were undeniably cute.. If you weren’t so worried about her right now, you would’ve cooed at her adorableness. 

"You know you can tell me everything, right?" you probed again, hoping to ease her worries. There was hesitation in her eyes.

"It's stupid," she sighed, shaking her head in frustration.

"Please tell me," you insisted, leaning in to give her a comforting kiss on the forehead. In that moment, you felt felt her immediately drop the cold demeanor and melt into your arms. 

Mina's honey brown eyes searched yours, seeking reassurance. Satisfied with what she found, she took a deep breath and asked, "Are you seeing someone else?"

You furrowed your brows in confusion,  "What? What do you mean?"

"I know we never really said we were dating or in a relationship, but I just wanted to know if you were also seeing someone else besides me."

"No, Mina. I'm not seeing anyone else," you assured her, sensing her lingering doubt.

"What about Yunjin?"

"Yunjin? Le Sserafim Yunjin?" you asked, perplexed. "I just met her today, Haerin told you during dinner."

"Oh," Mina responded simply, pouting and furrowing her brows as she glared at her feet.

"What made you think we had anything going on?"

She glanced back at you briefly, her ears turning red with embarrassment.

"I saw the texts she sent you about you guys going on a date in the future," she confessed, covering her eyes with her small hands. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to look at your phone or anything. It's just that your phone kept lighting up next to me when I was cooking, and I saw the notifications."

"Texts? What texts?" you asked, not at all upset about Mina seeing your messages. You found it amusing how this had thrown her off for the entire night.

Finding your phone on the kitchen counter, where it had been since you arrived home, you unlocked the screen and checked your messages. Sure enough, there was a message from the Le SSerafim singer.

After reading the texts, you threw your head back and laughed with relief. It finally clicked in your mind why Mina had been acting strangely all night—she was jealous. You found her jealousy endearing, and the thought of her caring about you as much as you cared about her made your heart flutter. The lack of an established soulmate connection or a defined relationship status didn't matter to you. What truly mattered was that she cared for you.

"Jagi," you approached the sulking beauty in the corner, "Yunjin wanted to meet up with both Haerin and Eunchae. We thought it would be a good idea for the two girls to bond since they don't have many friends their age. ‘It's a date’ as in it’s a good time to meet. She doesn't mean a literal romantic date."

Mina blushed, pulling the collar of her phthalo green T-shirt up to her chin in an attempt to hide her embarrassment.

"Oh," she squeaked, her voice muffled by her shirt.

"Yes, oh," you teased, pulling her close and playfully flicking the tip of her nose with your finger. "Next time, tell me what's bothering you instead of trying to avoid it, okay?"

She nodded, burying her face in your neck, still embarrassed.

"I think your Pokémon T-shirt is growing on me. You picked the right day to wear it."

"How so?" she tilted her head, looking confused.

"It's green, just like you are today."

Mina continued to gaze at you, perplexed.

"You were green with jealousy, huh?" you chuckled, jumping away as she playfully tried to punch you in annoyance.

"Yah! Cho, Y/N!"

"Green looks good on you," you said, pulling her in for a kiss. You felt her lips curl into a smile in response.

After a long-awaited make-out session on the couch, the two of you settled in, cuddling while watching the newest Avengers movie.

"Does this mean you'll stay the night?" you asked, holding the girl in your lap.

"Yes, pabo. I thought that was obvious," Mina replied, rolling her eyes but with a small smile tugging at her lips.

"I thought you wanted to be 'alone'," you teased, chuckling as Mina shot you a glare from the corner of her eyes.

"No, the tour is coming up soon, and I want to spend the rest of my free time with you before it happens."

"Good, good. Just making sure."

"What? Are you sick of me?" Mina asked playfully.

"I'll never get sick of you," you replied sincerely, gazing at her. "You'll always be my number one."

"Hey!" Haerin suddenly popped up from behind the couch, startling both of you. Mina even let out a small yelp, nearly falling off the couch in fright.

"You both said I was your number one before."

The young blonde wedged herself between you and Mina, snuggling up. You exchanged a glance with Mina, but she simply shrugged and returned her attention to the movie.

"Damn, Haerin, you need a green shirt too," you muttered, amused by the sudden jealousy of being left out from the young girl.
