I woke up early in the morning to get ready for ‘the big day’. Yes, ‘the big day’. The day that I’ve planned to make Minseo and Jungkook back together. I just hated seeing them both like that. Jungkook has come all the way to Korea to visit Minseo, and now she is ignoring him. Jungkook did say that he was sorry and he didn’t mean to hurt her like that, but she still kept on ignoring him. I don’t blame her though, being rejected by someone you love is a serious breakdown and not so easy to overcome, Especially if that ‘someone’ was also your childhood friend. But enough is enough! I let them ignore each other for a week, but now I’m going to take action and bring them back together!

I got out of my bed and out of my room to realize Minseo’s still asleep. Well, I can’t expect much since it’s only 7 in the morning. I went to the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth before tying up my hair into a ponytail and heading to the kitchen. I got all the ingredients ready to make the dinner for tonight. Grilled lamb, which Minseo loved, along with some Italian spaghetti, baked potato with cheese, clam chowder and strawberry cheesecake for dessert. I wanted to make it a big and special night ‘the night that the two lovebirds finally make up' I thought to myself and began cooking.

I started with cooking the spaghetti in the boiling water. In a separate pan, I heated the olive oil and added some chile flakes and garlic until the garlic turns golden, adding the cherry tomatoes afterward. When the tomatoes began to create a light sauce, I mixed olives, capers, brown sugar, sea salt and pepper into the sauce and stirred it with the cooked spaghetti. Then I moved to another recipe. Several hours has passed with me in the kitchen still cooking until I finally heard a door open and lazy steps making their way to the kitchen

“what are you doing, Jiji?” Minseo asked while rubbing her eyes

“isn’t it too obvious?” I remarked with a smirk. Minseo just looked around the kitchen in awe

“why are there too many foods?”

“well..I’m having a friend over tonight so I thought I should give it my best”

“that friend of yours must be really special, then”

“you can say that” I giggled and shooed her out of the kitchen “now go and wash up! I don’t want you to look like that in front of him!”

“him? so it’s a guy?” she looked at me teasingly and I just nodded

“yea he is a guy, now go! hurry hurry”

“ooooh~~ is that ‘guy’ Jiminie~?”

‘Oh right.. I really wish that he could come tonight as well since I’m making all of his favorites. Maybe I’ll just make some more for him and bring it to him later. Yea I’ll do that!’ I quietly thought to myself as I spaced out a little but snapped right back when Minseo started shaking her hands in front of me

“hey you okay, Jiji?” she giggled

“a-aha yea I’m fine, just go inside already!” I pushed her inside the bathroom and quickly closed the door

“yah! let me out!!” she shouted from inside while banging on the door

“and don’t get out until you’re clean!” I commanded while giggling and going back to the kitchen, ignoring her whines from the bathroom

It’s 4:30pm right now, an hour before the main character’s arrival. I’m already dressed and waiting for my guest. I have my cream V-neck polo sweater along with white skinny jeans on with my hair messily down my shoulders. I was sitting in the living room and on my phone when I suddenly heard a frustrated and rather a loud whine

“what do I wear??? help meee” yes, you guessed right! it was Minseo shouting from her room, causing me to get up and walk to her room

“what is it again?” I asked, slightly annoyed

“ugh, I don’t know what to wear, Jiji!”

“you have tons of clothes, Min! just pick one, trust me it’s not that hard!” I promised as I looked inside her closet. I picked out a brown sleeveless dress with a gold belt around the waist area and handed it to her

“here, this should be good. Also, you can match it with your gold high heels” I tapped her shoulder “and hurry! you only have half an hour to get ready” I warned her and she nodded nervously before quickly taking off her clothes and putting the dress on. When she finished dressing I sat her down on her bed to do her hair and makeup. I made her hair into a neat bun and applied a light red lipstick on her lips and a little bit of blush on her cheeks

“wala! you look perfect now!” I remarked and as I was doing so the doorbell rang, making me jump in excitement. I ran to the door and opened the door to meet a too familiar figure. My eyes widened as I saw

“J-Jimin?!”

“Hey! did I keep you waiting for long?” he smirked

“w-what are you doing here??” I asked, still startled at the whole situation

“I-i thought to pay you a visit, is that really surprising?” he was right. he always showed up at our dorm out of the blue and today was no exception

“b-but-”

“is he here already?” Minseo called as she approached us “oh hey Jimin!”

“h-hey Minseo-ssi!” I could see his cheeks turning a light shade of pink as he looked down

“aren’t you coming in?” Minseo invited him in and Jimin followed and there was me, still standing at the doorway, having a mental breakdown ‘but this supposed to be Minseo’s and Jungkook’s night only!’ I thought to myself as I felt all of my plans are now ruined. I closed the door and followed the two into the living room, sitting down on a couch

“I should’ve known that the ‘special’ friend you were talking about was actually Jimin” Minseo winked at me and I glared at her

“wow! I didn’t know I was special, Ji” Jimin looked at me while giggling

“I-i um a-ah err-”

*ding-dong*

I quickly jumped from my seat and ran to the front door, saving myself from the awkward situation. I opened the door to see the actual main character

“Jungkook!” I shouted, a little too loud to make him startled

“h-hey”

“there you are! I was waiting for you the whole time, now come on!” I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the living room where others were. Minseo froze at her spot when she saw Jungkook and Jungkook was no exception. They both kept looking at each other until an awkward silence filled the room.

“Jungkook, this is Jimin my childhood friend. Jimin, this is Jungkook Minseo’s childhood friend” I introduced the two strangers, hoping to break the awkwardness

“nice to meet you Jungkook” Jimin smiled

“nice to meet you too Jimin” Jungkook smiles back. The two smiled while shaking each other’s hands. After the introduction, I quickly sat next to Jimin so that the spot next to Minseo was the only spot for Jungkook to sit down. After Jungkook sat next to Minseo, he looked at her with a smile

“hello Minseo” he said politely, earning only a nod from her. Minseo wasn’t going easy on Jungkook which it made me a little nervous ‘what if tonight doesn’t go as smoothly as I thought it would?’ I thought to myself. I looked to my side to see Jimin glaring at Jungkook, then I looked at Minseo to see that her head was still hanging low

“well, I’m hungry! let’s eat” I shouted to break the silence, making them all to look at me in shock

“yea, I’m hungry too!” Jungkook lifted his hand “I bet Minseo is too” he then looked at her with a smile, she just kept her head down while biting her bottom lip

“okay then, it’s on!” I cheered and went to the kitchen to get the food I prepared earlier today and set them on the dining table “there! I really hope you like it” I said as I settled down next to Jimin with Jungkook and Minseo sitting across from me

“you made clam chowder??” Jimin asked me with excitement

“I sure did~” I smiled

“I love your clam chowders! they’re the best!!” he said as he filled his bowl with some chowder and started eating it deliciously while humming in satisfaction. I just looked at him while giggling at how cute he is.

“watch out it’s really hot!” I warned Jimin but it was too late

“owowow hot hot hot!!” he stuck his tongue out while fanning it with his hands. I quickly poured his glass with ice cold water and handed it to him

“here, told you to watch out, boy!” I said, a little worried but then giggled. Then I looked at the other side of the table, completely different from our side. Both Jungkook and Minseo had their heads down, too busy eating their dinner to look at us or even talk. I decided on something and quickly stood up

“aah I forgot something, Jimin do you mind helping me?” I announced, not waiting for him to answer and dragged him to the kitchen, leaving Jungkook and Minseo alone at the table

“what was that all about?” Jimin asked while he dusted off his sleeve which I was grabbing earlier

“shh!” I put my index finger on his lips, making him quiet “Minseo and Jungkook have to talk!”

“why?”

“because..” I sighed “you see, there is something going on between them that made them ignore each other for a week, but today I decided to put an end to it by bringing them both together to talk things through” I explained

“but what is the ‘thing’ going on between them?”

“I-i don’t know” I lied

“don’t lie to me Ji” goddamnit! he read through me again

“I-i’m not-” I was cut off by voices from the living room. It was Jungkook’s voice. I decided to steal a glance of the living room from the kitchen. Jungkook was facing Minseo, having a concerned look on his face while Minseo’s head was still hanging low

“I-i’m really sorry about what happened Minseo, I really didn’t mean to hurt you like that” Jungkook explained

“he hurt her?!?” Jimin said rather loudly, making me put my hand over his mouth

“shut up! they’re gonna hear you, pabo!” I snapped as I turned my attention back to the living room. This time I noticed tears rolling down Minseo’s cheeks while Jungkook had his hand on her back, drawing circles to soothe her

“I’m sorry, I really am!” Jungkook apologized once again before pulling Minseo into his arms, making his polo absorb all of her tears

“n-no Jungkook, I’m the one who should be sorry! I was drunk and I couldn’t expect much from you! I was overreacting. I’m sorry” Minseo sobbed harder in Jungkook’s arms and Jungkook her hair

“it’s okay, we were both overreacting. It’s all okay now. You know how much I care for you.. just as my sister”

‘no no no no!! he shouldn’t have said that!!! no Jungkook, you pabo!’ I thought to myself, rather annoyed and heard Minseo crying even harder. I know, even if the past week was like a hell to her, Jungkook’s last sentence right now set her on fire. She didn’t want to hear those words, not at that moment at least. I shook my head in disbelief and looked at Jimin, only to realize I had my hand over his mouth the entire time and quickly pulled my hand away

“s-sorry!” he looked at me with a questioning look

“just what did happen between them, Ji? spill it” he spat, his eyes never leaving mine

I can’t tell him.
