"Omo! Aeri eonni!!"

Ningning ran to Aeri like a little cat and they hugging happily out of blue, infront of Jimin who seems confuse with the view infront of her right now.

"Am I... disturbing something?", Jimin said.

"No no. This is Ning Yizhuo. Her parents and my parents are friend. So do we~", Aeri chuckled while looking at Ningning happily, giggling together like there's no tomorrow.

"Ah~ I see"

"It's been so long since we last met, right?", Aeri exclaimed.

"I know right! Is it 3 years? 4 years? I dont quiet remember tho", Ningning replied. Then the two continue giggling with each other while Jimin could just looking at both of them, smiling awkwardly.

"Oh my god! Aren't you... Karina?", Ningning eyes widen when she saw Jimin, the instafamous infront of her right now. For a moment, she suddenly thought of Minjeong words to her just now.

"You know me?", Jimin asked.

"Yeah! I'm one of your followers! It's nice to meet you in person. You're much more beautiful than what I saw in your Instagram", Ningning smiled happily.

"Really? Thank you"

"Oh right, are you guys here to rent a room?", Ningning asked.

"Yeah. We just arrived", Aeri answered.

"How about you guys share the room I rent? There's only me and a friend of mine there. Don't worry~ She's a quiet person"

Ningning suggestion somehow acceptable. Since Ningning said there's still plenty time left for their room, it would be a waste to not enjoy it with her childhood friend. Also, she could tease Minjeong a lil bit with the sudden appearance of Karina inside their karaoke room.

"Yeah sure I would love to!", Aeri happily answered then turning her head to Jimin, just trying to make sure if she's okay with the idea or not.

"I'm okay~", Jimin answered with her little eye smile.

"Then let's go!"

Ningning leaded their way to their karaoke room with smirks forming on her face.

"This is gonna be interesting~"

Standing infront of their room, the first thing they heard was Minjeong's voice singing to Taeyeon song. All of the three girls silently listening from the outside. While Ningning just smiles cuz she already know how good Minjeong voice is, Jimin and Aeri mouth was agape in awe.

"Is that your friend, singing?", Aeri ask.

"Yeah~ Pretty amazing singer, isn't she?", Ningning said.

"That's the most beautiful voice I've ever heard infront of my face...", Jimin said while covering her wide open mouth.

Didn't wasting much time, Ningning immediately pushed the door and automatically, Minjeong stop singing while turning her head over to the door not far away from her.

"Ning, what taking you so---"

Minjeong frozen in place. Her eyes wide open. Same goes to Jimin. Eyes wide open looking at Minjeong infront of her.

Both of them looking at each other in a great shock. Both mouth wide open.

"J-Jimin eonni??"

"Kim Minjeong??"

They said in unison.

"You two know each other?", Ningning ask innocently like she never know the truth between Minjeong and Jimin, even tho she just knew about it about 30 minutes ago.

"Yeah. Minjeong and I goes to the same class", Jimin answering.

Minjeong just gazing her eyes straight to Ningning who currently playing innocent, avoiding any burning eyes from looking directly into her eyes.

"Ah~ I see. It's good then! Have a seat!"

As Aeri and Jimin slowly walking their way to the seat, Jimin stopped by Minjeong's frozen side for a while, wrapping one of her hands on Minjeong's arm, face coming closer as she trying to whisper something into Minjeong's ears.

"Your voice was really good! I didn't know that you have that kind of voice! You should sing often with me"

Minjeong was startled by the sudden invitation from Jimin. Is that mean, the next time Jimin gonna go to the karaoke, she needs to tag along?

"I... didn't sing that often...", Minjeong answered with her low voice.

Turning her head to the back, she only saw Ningning and a girl; Aeri she guessed, currently talking happily to each other, giggling non-stop. Then she look at her side again to see Jimin was still theren trying to say something again.

"I think I want to tag along with you next time. That girl you see..."

Jimin pointing her finger at Aeri who didn't realized that she was mentioned.

"She always try to avoid from following me to karaoke! She just kick my legs 20 minutes ago because I asked her to come here!"

Minjeong lifted her eyes, looking at Jimin who just inches away from her. She gulped for a moment before answering the older girl question.

"O-Okay then"

Jimin flashes her smile to Minjeong after hearing her answer. But Jimin still approaching her, maybe for the last time? Minjeong guessed.

"Why did you call me eonni? I thought we were the same age?", Jimin asked, somehow that simple question enough to make Minjeong freaking out for a little moment.

"I h-heard from someone at our college! They was talking about you out loud and I ended up hearing it! That's when I know that... you're a year older than me"

"Ah~ I see"

Minjeong sighing in relief that she hadn't been caught for being Winter of their online friendship. As Jimin starting to take her step to leave, she somehow pulled Minjeong together with her, making the younger girl stumbled with her steps.

"Minjeong-ah, may I ask something?", Jimin asked as her eyes looking down towards Minjeong's left hand.

"Hmm? What are you looking at?"

"That bracelet was kinda familiar. It looks like the same bracelet from a friend of mine", Jimin said, somehow lifting slightly Minjeong's skinny arm upward, focusing all her eyes onto the black thread bracelet on Minjeong's wrist.

"I guess they sell this bracelet everywhere, huh?", Jimin said.

But no. It wasn't.

The bracelet wasn't a store-bought. It's because Minjeong made them herself.

"Where did you buy this? I'm thinking about getting one", Jimin said and Minjeong couldn't be more nervous enough than ever.

"The store... was pretty close to my house. If you want one, I think... I'll help you to buy it", Minjeong said while smiling bitterly towards Jimin.

"Really?? Thank you so much Minjeong you're the best!"

As Jimin wiggling Minjeong's hand like a rope because of her excitement, Minjeong feels like her soul just left her body for the ten times.

"This ain't getting messier than I thought it would be~"
