Fate

Chapter 5

Mina's POV
What the hell do I wear? I have similar outfits in different colors... I think this is nice.

That's more adjusted to the weather, the event and a little different.
My phone beeped.

Sunbae chingu:
We're leaving now, are you good to go?

Me:
Finally picked an outfit, so.. should be!

Sunbae chingu:
You didn't have to think too much about that, get your shoes on and get out of your room!

I laughed.
Me:
Since when do you boss me around, huh?

Sunbae chingu:
Starting to mess with you a little! See you in a little bit.

Me:
Namjoon I swear😂

Sunbae chingu:
How long until we use friendly honorifics?

I got in the subway.
Me:
When I won't have you making fun of me about it!

What a shame. That's what he wrote before I got out of the wagon. Let's see, turn here... Next block. I think it's them. I walked over to them slowly. "Hi." I bowed down. "Excuse me if I took too long to get here."

My new friend greeted me first. "Hey, Mina! You're right on time." He gave me a side shoulder hug. "Didn't get lost?"

I rolled my eyes. "Not this time! Not because that's how we met that I get lost all the time."

He introduced me. "Meet my friend and band mate, Hoseok hyung."

I bowed again. "Nice to meet you Hoseok-ssi."

His friend let a chuckle escape. "You're sweet. You make me sound old, I'm fine with it, but sunbae is good too."

I nodded. "Oh. Alright then. I didn't want to be rude."

"How about we get seated?" Namjoon proposed. Once settled, the conversation came more organically.

"I like your outfit, I'd wear something similar with a T-shirt instead." Hoseok commented.

I was flattered. "Thank you, I got it while I went shopping. What did you guys do yesterday?"

"Well, when I called you, I was at his place, so I spent the night and we spent the day at his studio." My friend answered.

I was curious. "New material? We never talk about your job, so if you'd rather not, I can ask you something else."

He denied. "It's alright. I wrote some lyrics and hyung was helping me find a melody."

Hoseok to add. "For more than a song. We spent the whole day there! What did you do? Joonie said you went to the palaces."

Oh.. That, I was ready to talk about! "Yes! I rented a hanbok for the day and I could see them for free. They're so beautiful, their history is so rich. I learned a lot."

The main dancer spoke, a questioning look on his face. "Wait, are you the smart science geek type or the artistic type?"

I didn't know a word in that sentence, but I got most of it. "Both? I love to learn and read. I studied forensic biology a while, but I still read research papers when I want information. I've been a lover of art and dance since I could count my steps and hold a pencil. He showed you my accounts did he?"

He couldn't hide it. "Yeah, Joonie did. You're pretty good. You do kpop, but you do other styles. Which is your favorite? Contemporary or hiphop?"

"Tough question! If I have a message to pass, contemporary even if it's not my forte. For the hell of it, hiphop, more precisely waaking is a fun one to add to my work. My mom calls it chasing flys."

They both laughed. "That's what I tell hyung! He rarely uses that style. It's funny when he tries."

The eldest scolded him. "Ya! You're so mean. You should look at yourself when you do krump! You look like you got electrocuted."

"She can be the judge of that! She does some sometimes." Namjoon argued.

I did, but not as much as I did in highschool. "I'm a bit rusty. I only do short clips for fun now."

"We should do a dance and karaoke activity sometime." My first sunbae proposed.

"Should we? Where would you do that?" I asked. "Karaoke at a noraebang, but I'm not dancing in the streets for your entertainment!" I laughed.

When I went to take my bill to pay, I noticed it wasn't there. I looked at Namjoon's hyung. "Did you see my bill?"

He looked at Namjoon as he sat down. "Where's her bill?"

He played dumb. "What bill? I see no more bills here."

You're kidding. "You paid for my food? Namjoon, it was 15$. I could pay that myself."

"You paid our coffees last time. Your lunch is just a thanks for hanging out with us." He helped me out of the booth. "Don't worry about it."

Namjoon's POV
"You're right. She's nice. Mina, was it? I get it now." My hyung said as we made our way to my place. "Where are you hanging out next?"

I sighed. Hands in my pockets. "I don't know. That outfit of hers and our talk made me want to see her dance. Have an idea?"

"How about your place?" I almost choked. "What? She saw a lot of Seoul already. Unless you show her Gangnam or take the train to another city, I doubt she'd want to see another park just to talk. No?"

Weird hyung. "Weren't you the one worried in the first place?"

"Just don't give her your address. Get her from the bus or the subway like you did before. You can karaoke and dance and fool around more than you can in public." He side-eyed me. "Unless you wouldn't mind the scandal?"

"Ya!" I pushed him. "I don't want one, but if it happens... She's a friend. Nothing scandalous about that. They don't know her here."

He nodded. "Sure, think that. If she feels okay with the idea, why not? If you're not worried about her, what's the problem?"

Right, if I trust her, it should be alright... Right?
