"Aw come on Jimin-hyung." Jeongguk pleads. "Can't I stay over at your apartment?" His big, dark eyes shining and his lips pulled in a pout.
When Jimin replied with a stern 'No', Jeongguk turns to the other Jimin. The other Jimin sighs.
"Come on Jimin-oppa. Let Jeongguk stay. What harm would that cause?" Now the long-haired Jimin is the one pleading with puppy eyes towards the short-haired Jimin, whom is her brother.
Nope they aren't twins. Basically, their parents just want to have some fun and mess with their kids and people. A joke they pulled. Stupid prank.
So here they have two Park Jimins. One guy. One girl. Both blessed with honey voice. Two years apart.
The guy Jimin faces the girl Jimin—his sister—and Jeongguk. "No."
The three of them (the Park siblings only but Jeongguk is tagging along) are currently walking home (well actually apartment but isn't that basically Home?).
Jeongguk whines. "I'll cook for the three of us and I'll wash the dishes during my stay. I'll even do the laundry and hang and fold them. If you want them pressed, then I could iron them! I'm good at it. Promise!"
"For how long?" The question made Jeongguk giddy up. That's a fifty-fifty chance kind of question and everything matters to the answer. Even long-haired Jimin seems to be excited.
"Just three months until my cousin comes back after his OJT. I've got no company at my apartment once Seokjin-hyung leaves."
For a minute there, Jimin was about to give in until he heard Jeongguk's reply. "What."
"I said, three months hyung."
"I heard that. I just said What."
"So?"
"No."
"What?! Why?" Both Jeongguk and girl Jimin cries in chorus.
"Oppa, please? Pleasey please? This is the perfect chance; you know?" Girl Jimin gave her brother a knowing look. A look that means something between the Park's. But Jeongguk knows. He knows, he isn't oblivious. And girl Jimin-slash-his bestfriend told him about the Park sibling's secrets. 'Jimin-oppa actually likes you, too!' Girl Jimin once said.
Technically she betrayed and spilled her brother's secret but isn't it fun that your bestfriend and brother likes each other? It's like having two bestfriends, two brothers, and an unsinking boat she ships from the start. Her eyes twinkle from the sudden thought, giggling a bit.
"Are you kidding--"
"No, I am Jimin." She jokes, laughing along with Jeongguk. They both stopped when Jimin shots them a glare.
"Stop it with the jokes again, Jamie." His brother reprimands. She just smiles and waves her hand in a peace sign.
Oh right. The girl Jimin-slash-long haired Jimin is also called Jamie. A nickname she gave herself so people could easily identify which Jimin they meant.
"So is it a yes then, oppa?"
Jimin sighs a 'Yeah' and both Jeongguk and girl Jimin—Jamie—engaged themselves in a tight hug as they jump together, whispering about how they could do their 'plan'. Jimin pulled the two apart. "But." Two pairs of curious eyes lock with Jimin's. "You need not to do Jamie's laundry. Or at least her undergarments for an obvious reason."
Jeongguk and Jamie bursts out laughing, pointing their fingers towards Jimin as if he was some kind of joke or he was out of his mind. "That's not even a problem." Jeongguk breathes. "Jamie and I grew up together since elementary. Did you know I was the one who bought her her first napkin because her skirt screamed murder in middle school?"
He received two slaps on the back of his head from the two Jimins.
"Is not a necessary story to tell, Jeon!" Jamie shrieks, Jimin shakes his head and Jeongguk laughs some more.
"Moving on..." Jimin changes the topic before Jamie strangles Jeongguk to death. Apparently, Jeongguk is in Jamie's grasp. She had him in a head lock for some reason and how did that happen when Jeongguk is a fucking 178 cm muscled pig. "when are you going to move in?"
"Next week I guess? I'll start packing by tomorrow." Jeongguk answers. "You'll help me, right Jamie?" Jamie releases Jeongguk and he squishes her cheeks together, making her look like a squirrel and she nods in response.
If Jimin does not know any better or if strangers see them, Jeongguk and Jamie looks like a couple. A very cute and adorable one. But he knows better, of course. Both Jimins have a pact.
"Anyway," Jeongguk turns to Jimin. "I'll get going now?" And then to Jamie, wrapping her in a sweet embrace. He kisses her forehead. "I love you, Park Jimin." He says but his eyes intently gazing to the other Jimin. The boy Jimin. Sending the latter's spine a shiver and his mind confusion.
When they broke the hug, Jamie replied. "I love you too, Jeon Jeongguk. From Park Jimin!" She says and the two snickers, doing a hand sign thing pointing at each other in a knowing manner. And even flicking their tongues which made Jimin feel dumb and lost because there's obviously something beneath those words he can't pinpoint. Something fishy.
