An unfavourable new encounter

Its been a week

 

A whole week... Since her little outing with Jimin

 

And the blonde… to put it quite frankly

 

Still has no idea what to do about the situation they were in together… because... to put it very frankly again, the two had been doing what they have found they are best at recently

 

Completely avoiding the topic no matter how much the very thought was at the tip of their tongues.

 

Allowing the warm water from the shower head to cascade from her head down the rest of her body, her mind felt like it was shrouded in mist, mirroring the steam rising around her.

 

The very imagery of Jimin that night seemingly just doesn't want to leave her mind at all.

 

It’s infiltrated her every senses.

 

Every morning.. every afternoon and every evening

 

The actress was all Minjeong could think about

 

Jimin Jimin Jimin

 

It was like a religious chant, constantly spirally in her brain on a never-ending cycle…

 

And the way Jimin had inched closer and closer to her…

 

They way her lips have blossomed to her in the night light…

 

Ahh

 

Minjeong covered her upper face with one hand, while the other swiftly turned the shower knob, shifting the temperature from warm to freezing cold.

 

She needed a cold shower after constantly thinking about Jimin like that.

 

Because if she didn’t, the warmness of her cheeks will for sure, begin radiating up her skull and start frying her brains out.

 

She wanted so desperately to discuss what that night had meant to Jimin…

 

If it meant anything at all..

 

Or if it was all an illusion that’s captivated her alight the taller woman's ethereal beauty.

 

But on the note that it was all in Minjeong’s head…

 

She has absolutely no idea how to address it, especially when it feels like every time the blonde wants to open to discuss it, the actress suddenly becomes too busy with something else to spare even a second for Minjeong.

 

She’s pretty sure she’s already ran through hundreds of different scenarios in her head already.

 

And all of which, apart from one, lead to the same sneer Jimin would give to Minjeong… or a complete silent response where Jimin went back on her phone or looked out the window to avoid the topic.

 

And the other singled out scenario being…

 

Well…

 

There’s no point thinking about that

 

What are the chances of one scenario out of hundreds being true anyway?

 

That’s right…

 

Minjeong is just overthinking again…

 

 

It's already been a week, so even if she had a chance to bring up the whole ordeal, she's long past her opportunity already.

 

So stopping the water flow and finally stepping out of the shower, the blonde hastily grabs a towel, preparing herself to pick up Jimin and embark on another day as the latter's manager.

 

 

⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇

 

 

 

Being an A-lister like Jimin, meant the actress never really has a moment to focus purely on herself when she is outside.

 

That means typically, unless shielded by some type of vehicle or facility, the moment her face is out in the open, attraction tends to follow her like a shadow.

 

This makes it extremely difficult to function like a normal person.

Want to buy clothing? Not within a usual mall where items are reasonably priced you don't, because everyone else will be there to see you.

 

Oh and let's not forget, you want to take a stroll absolutely anywhere right? Make sure to smile for all the cameras!

 

It's the dark side that came with fame...

 

Sure one may get all the attention, money and prestige in the world...

 

But in exchange it was like selling one's soul to the devil

 

Because in it, you no longer had the right to the freedom you were once so used to..

 

Things become more structured.. they need to be... and as a result it also becomes dull... where stepping out in public becomes a war zone.

 

As for Jimin, another A-lister at the peak of her career, it's not surprising that these days the woman typically prefers to spend most of her free time outside of work within the safe confines of her home.

 

At least there she can find a brief relief of solitude.

 

No flashing lights.

 

No screaming.

 

Just her, by herself enjoying, whatever she can enjoy at home.

 

She’s gotten really good at it to be completely honest.

 

Reading plenty of books, watching countless of drama (sometimes as research for her own acting) and playing a variety of games.

 

Not many are aware, but the actress is actually the highest ranked player in GardenScape.

 

Jimin has mastered the art of keeping herself occupied at home, never allowing the slightest hint of boredom to settle in.

 

So right now, in this instance..

 

It’s quite hard to believe

 

Yu Jimin, the master of self-gratification and entertainment

 

Has been spacing out a lot recently.

 

Playing a game? She keeps losing because she can’t concentrate on controlling the little characters.

 

Watching a drama? She can’t seem to follow along the plot anymore.. her mind just keeps rushing onto something else.

 

Reading? Psh, Jimin couldn’t even get past the first sentence anymore.

 

And it was all thanks to a blondie

 

A shorter blondie.

 

Kim Minjeong…

 

Jimin sighs, staring into the distance of nothing in particular as her manager had once again caused her to lose touch with reality.

 

A week has passed since the blonde had basically scammed her into taking a hike up the hill in her heels…

 

The actress had honestly thought all she would remember from that day was the sheer anger she would've felt towards Minjeong… having made her attain blisters on the side of her foot as a result of walking so much…

 

But instead… she was experiencing a completely different set of emotions...

 

A different reaction...

 

Feeling the beating in her chest again… Jimin took a big gulp of water, trying her best to ignore what her heart was trying to tell her.

 

Seeing Minjeong after that night for a week had been difficult… it was as if every time they made even a brief bit of eye contact, there was something left unspoken in the air…

 

Constantly pestering, screaming at them, to address it.

 

But neither of them could.

 

Jimin wasn’t sure if it was pride, fear or something else she hadn’t quite tapped into yet…. But either way for herself… she resorted to what she felt most comfortable in.

 

And that’s avoiding eye contact with Minjeong completely for the past week, so that guilty subconsciou

Chapter 35: Jihoon, you're selfishness has become useful. Minjeong probably needed him to say he had no feelings for Jimin.
