“So, how long have you two been together?”
Jimin almost snapped her neck with how quickly she spun to look at Aeri, her face one of surprise.
“What do you mean? No one’s allowed to date…”
“Good thing you and Minjeong are already married then.” Aeri snorted, sassily nudging her friend who seemed at a sudden loss for words.
“Seriously though, unnie. I might be the newbie here but I pay attention, besides you two aren’t subtle, like at all. Anyone with eyes can tell you’re more than friends and I’ve heard at least half of our staff talk about how disgustingly cute you are together.”
Jimin had to chuckle at that, they’ve heard some staff calling them soulmates but she didn’t think they meant like *soulmates* soulmates, as in romantic. Which is exactly what they are but still, they try to be careful despite having already been together a significant amount of time, especially given their young ages.
“Also, we kinda all live together. Minjeong sometimes hits high notes outside of the studio too… pretty impressive.”
Aeri grinned cheekily as Jimin felt her cheeks burning, with the blush covering what felt like her entire face and neck.
“I can’t believe you just said that!” Jimin spluttered, smacking the other girl on her shoulder.
Aeri pouted and rubbed the shoulder she’d hit.
“OW bitch! Anyway, don’t be embarrassed. Your notes get up there too.”
Aeri quickly jumped up to dodge another smack, laughing as Jimin whined and hid her face behind her hands. Cautiously, Aeri re-approached her, gently sitting and dragging the girl’s hands away from her face.
“What I’m trying to say is; I’m just happy that you’re happy and being happy together. I don’t understand why people give a shit about labels or who someone falls in love with, it’s literally none of their business. You guys are special and no one can take that from you, I’ll stab ‘em with those spiky nail extensions.”
Jimin burst out laughing and briefly hugged her friend before giving her hand a quick squeeze.
“Thanks Aeri, really. You’re the coolest.”
Aeri winked and posed with a knowing glance.
“Sooooo, sex is really that good huh?”
Jimin wished aloud for the ground to open up and swallow her whole.
“We’ve only been with each other, but yes.” Jimin smiled softly, what she and Minjeong had was hard to describe because it felt so beyond words.
Aeri suddenly picked up her phone, typing frantically.
“I’m just googling how to meet the love of my life.”
