Fated

Chapter 17: Refreshing And Cheerful

Jimin had mastered the art of a neutral resting face. She could show her face with no emotion at all, no matter what kind of situation she was in, she could always do that. Except when it came to Minjeong.

But for that too, she learned that some people also had the same capability. Like Minsik right now, as he was staring at his sister in front of him, whose face was showing all of the emotions mixed in together. But mostly, anger and disgust.

A few minutes ago, Minjeong had thrown all of the questions to him, but none of them he answered. Jimin could tell that the blonde was getting even more frustrated now, but she also knew that after this, she would feel relieved. Not every question needed an answer.

When Minsik's eyes slightly shifted to Jimin, Minjeong abruptly stood up, hand still holding hers tightly. "If you're not gonna talk, then I guess we're done here."

He opened his mouth, fully turning his eyes to the dark haired woman. "Can I talk to you?"

Jimin frowned but Minjeong tugged her hand gently. "Let's go."

That face he had been putting on, was slipping as he furrowed his brows angrily. "You don't own her."

"Actually, Minsik." Jimin stood up with a sigh. "She does." She wasn't the only person who was shocked by her own words as she felt the slight movement in her hand. But Jimin continued. "If Minjeong says we're going, then I'm going with her."

Anger plastered clearly on his face but it didn't stop the couple from turning away until he spoke up. "Wait." He called out, standing up before the officer behind him forced his body down again. "I'll talk." He said through his gritted teeth. "I'll answer each one of your questions if you let me talk to Jimin after. Alone."

Minjeong bit her lip in anger. Obviously, she didn't even want him to see her girlfriend in the first place, let alone leaving them alone. But she was too desperate, she had poured her heart out and this was the only way for her to get her closure. So, she looked back at Jimin. "Is that okay with you?"

She didn't have to ask, Jimin would do anything for her. Nodding her head, she rubbed Minjeong's back soothingly. "I'm fine with anything you want." She leaned in to whisper. "But I think it's better for me to wait outside? I don't think he will be honest if I'm here with you."

Taking a deep breath, the blonde glanced back and forth. The way Minsik was looking at Jimin, she didn't like it one bit. It would be hard to control her emotions if the woman wasn't around, but what she said might be true.

Hesitantly, Minjeong nodded.

Then Jimin did something she didn't expect. Neither did Minsik.

Leaning her forehead on Minjeong's side face, she cupped her cheek and turned the blonde around to face her before capturing her lips. The guards that were standing inside quickly looked away.

At first, Minjeong thought Jimin was doing this because she wanted to show Minsik what they were. Jimin was just putting on a show. But then she felt the slight tremble on her skin.

Jimin was worried.

To reassure her, Minjeong pushed away her thoughts and kissed her back just as passionately, pulling her even closer to tell her that she would be okay. The truth was, Minjeong knew how she had been behaving lately, how it was worrying the older woman, she felt guilty and she hoped, she really wished that after today, everything would come back again, she would be freed from the hatred she wasn't familiar with, and could love Jimin to the fullest.

They were too deep, too drowned in each other, even Minsik banging the table angrily didn't shock them. "That's quite enough." He gritted his teeth, unable to look away with his pained eyes.
