minji once again found herself in front of café amicis for what seemed to be the fifth time that week.
the familiar jingling of the bell greeted minji as she entered café once again.
"minji! you're back again," mrs. pham greeted the korean girl warmly. "did you want anything to eat? drink?"
minji couldn't help but smile at the older woman's friendliness, "no thank you, mrs, pham. i'm actually here to pick up hanni."
minji looked around the café, unable to find the vietnamese girl anywhere. "where is she?"
mrs. pham ignored minji's earlier refusal as she handed the korean girl a layered chocolate crepe cake slice. "just take it, minji-ah. hanni will want to snack on something later, if not, you can have it yourself."
with the packaged cake slice in minji's hand, mrs. pham called out her daughter's name loudly, disturbing the café's peaceful atmosphere.
"hanni pham! get out of the employee's lounge right now!"
moments later, hurried footsteps approached minji and mrs. pham at the front counter.
"mom i only have like 10 minutes left in my shift— wait, minji?" hanni's voice trailed off as she recognized the familiar figure of the taller standing in front of the counter.
"go ahead, hanni. you can leave early today" mrs. pham smiled as she left the two alone at the front counter momentarily to grab something from the back.
"thank you, mom!"
quickly taking off her apron and hanging it behind her, hanni turned towards minji with great speed. minji catching a whiff of the citrusy shampoo that hanni uses.
"didn't realize you knew my work schedule, creep."
"hanni, i dropped you off to work."
"touché."
"anyway, i'm here to pick you up. you're okay with getting ready at my place right?"
hanni nodded yes at minji's question, "yeah, just hold on a moment, i gotta say bye to my mom."
minji watched as hanni entered the back to give her mom a hug, exchanging a few words before the vietnamese girl rushed back to minji.
with a wave goodbye, minji and hanni left café amicis, the bell jingling once more.

"your apartments pretty big, you've never once thought about getting a roommate?" hanni scanned minji's apartment since it was her first time ever being here.
it's true, minji's apartment was a bit further away from snu's campus, but it was worth it considering she was getting a 2 bed 1 bathroom space for only $345 a month. it was located in a safe neighbourhood, and provided a scenic view of the han river as well.
"nah, i like living by myself, plus i'm getting a steal for the amount i'm paying and the space i'm getting." minji set her car keys and packaged cake slice onto the marble coffee table in front of her, flopping back onto the black coloured couch.
"i like what you've done with the place; it practically screams minji."
"and what does that imply?" minji quirked a brow.
"i don't know, it just has your vibe." hanni shrugged.
minji's apartment was luxurious, but homey with an open space concept. her walls alternated between striped oak that added warmth, bright white walls as a mediator, and brick walls to give a rustic charm.
minji definitely liked to mess around with textures.
she had plants scattered around her apartment, some real and fake. her living room had a mounted flat screen tv, and across from it was the couch minji was sprawled out on. she had an assortment of soft white throw pillows spread out on the couch, hanni wouldn't be surprised if minji just slept on the couch instead, it looked comfy.
connected to the living room was the kitchen, hanni almost drooled at the sight. minji didn't have the latest kitchen tech like her family did, but still had very nice stainless steel appliances that glistened underneath pendant lights. she had a marble kitchen island with clear chairs to go along with the table.
hanni couldn't help but appreciate the fact that minji probably put a lot of thought and effort into decorating her apartment.
"if you're thinking i decorated this myself, you're dead wrong," minji chuckled, "my parents do architecture and interior design."
"and here i thought you had a gift for interior design."
minji got off the couch and led hanni down a hallway, stopping halfway.
"the furthest door on the left is my room. go in if you want, i don't really mind. across is the guest bedroom, you can change in there. left door is the bathroom, and the right door is laundry." minji paused, "i'll let you do your own thing, i'm changed already."
before minji could leave hanni stopped her, "that's what you're wearing?"
minji was dressed in knee length jorts and a black oversized graphic tee.
"yeah, is there something wrong?" minji replied confused.
hanni giggled at minji's confused frown, it was so clear the taller rarely ever went out to parties.
"just chill on the couch for now, i'm gonna change then i'll help you pick out an outfit."
around 10 minutes pass and hanni waltzed into the living room wearing high rise denim shorts, a white spaghetti strap cropped cami top, and a blue jean jacket.
minji's eyes widened slightly, hanni looked good, she had to admit.
"now, let's see what we can do for you." hanni grinned.
minji got up from the couch and led hanni into her bedroom, it was decorated similarly to the rest of the apartment, except she had floor to ceiling windows and guitars hanging from the walls. she also had a small portion of her room turned into a mini studio.
following minji into her walk-in closet, hanni was surprised to find it mainly composed of dark coloured clothing, the occasional splash of colour appearing once in a while.
minji gestured for hanni to start looking around, which she did. she started rummaging around her closet, trying to find something that would suit her friends tastes while also pushing her out of her comfort zone just a bit.
hanni eventually settled for a black cropped tank top that would go with minji's jorts. she left the closet to allow minji to change, coming back in once minji gave her the go ahead.
hanni grinned to herself in satisfaction, it was interesting to see how a simple top could change the entire vibe of an outfit.
"is it good?" minji asked, looking at herself in the mirror.
the crop top allowed for the results of her hard work and training in the track field to shine, her toned stomach and arms now visible.
"yeah, i think we're both set to go."
