"Don't say I didn't tell you."

Karina let out a sigh before sitting down on a stool, facing the bar and nodding her head at Yena who were waving at her. Still friendly as ever.

"It's fun out here. Besides, we're safe already and it has been so long since we last hang out like this." Aeri said.

"So, what's your order? It'll be on me." Ning said.

Aeri turned to Ning who were leaning on her with her arm resting on Aeri's shoulder as she continued standing beside Aeri who was sitting on a stool.

"What?" Ning asked.

"It'll be on you huh." Aeri said.

"You're the boss, but I am your wife which makes me the boss too."

"You always tell me to never give out free drinks carelessly."

"But this is Jimin, honey. Jimin can drink and eat anything and I won't even charge her."

Karina chuckled at Ning's statement as she turned to Yena and ordered her drinks.

"Okay. Now go, your business friends are waiting." Aeri said.

"I'll be back. Talk to you later, Jimin." Ning winked and Jimin hummed. Ning kissed Aeri's cheek before going to the table where her potential business partners were sitting.

"She's doing good." Karina commented.

"More than good, Jimin. Sometimes, I'm worried if I can't stop her. There's always an idea in her mind." Aeri said while shaking her head.

"Isn't that good? More business, more income for you guys."

"Yeah, sure. Then when she's exhausted, she'll be whining and ask me to settle everything for her instead."

"And you would do anything for her still." Karina said as she looked at Aeri who looked back at her with a blank stare.

"You can't say you wouldn't. Do not lie to me." Karina said again.

"You're annoying." Aeri grumbled and Karina laughed.

"Whipped. So so whipped, Aeri." Karina more while Aeri just hissed and hit her arm playfully.

"Anyways, I'm glad that it's all over now. Can't believe Irene unnie is still alive too." Aeri said.

Karina smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. I'm glad too, knowing that I won't be alone. I have Irene unnie, I have you... And Ning." Karina said.

"We are here, Jimin. We're going to be here with you forever."

"I know. Thank you for staying alive, Aeri ah."

Aeri smiled and squeezed her hand.

"So, what's the plan now?"

"Hmm. I guess, I'll join you in the business area."

"Ha. Good luck. Business can get stressful at times."

"Wow, thanks." Karina scoffed and Aeri just laughed.

"Are you starting already?"

"Well, everything's on Winter actually. She just asked me to wait until she finalised everything. She doesn't allowed me to interfere as she said that I need to rest first." Karina said, shrugging her shoulders when Aeri looked at her in surprise.

"And you listened to her." Aeri said.

"You don't want to argue with Winter Kim, Aeri ya." Karina frowned.

"That bad?"

"It's draining. Trust me. She's the most stubborn person I've ever met."

"Yet, you fall for her."

Karina kept quiet.

"Am I right?"

"What?"

"You're falling for her."

Karina sighed and avoided the question by sipping her drinks.

"I remembered how she brought all of her guards to welcome us at the airport when you were fetching me and Ning from LA. She made sure of your safety before hers, even after knowing that you're capable to protect yourself."

"She said she won't risk it anymore. She's always careful now, for all of us."

"Right. And she cares about Ning's and my safety too, because she knows you wouldn't want anything to happen to us."

"It's because you and Ning are a family, my family." Karina said.

"We are." Aeri smiled.

"Hi, y."

Karina turned her head to the right and raised her eyebrows at a stranger who suddenly approached her with a drink in her hand. Karina looked at Aeri who only raised her shoulders once, before looking away. Karina then looked back at the stranger.

"Pardon?"

"Are you single?" The stranger asked while checking her out.

"No."

Karina swears she heard a scoff from Aeri.

"Finally, you admitted that you're taken by the stubborn Winter." Aeri whispered, loud enough for Karina to hear.

"Sure? Don't tell me the girl there is your girlfriend. You both does not look like a couple." 

"I have a wife already." Aeri said and grinned at the stranger who smirked wider now.

"Aeri, you're not helping at all." Karina glared at her.

"What?" Aeri blinked her eyes innocently.

"So, would you like to dance?" The stranger asked and even put her hand on Karina's shoulder now.

Karina frowned and glared at her hand before staring sharply at her. The stranger only raised her eyebrows when Karina gave her a cold glare.

"Do not touch me." Karina whispered coldly.

Not too far from them, Aeri saw a familiar figure and hide her smile behind the glass of her drinks. Yena also went closer and rested her elbows on the counter as she put her chin on her right palm, joining Aeri to watch the scene in front of them.

"Oh, come on. You don't have to play hard to get with me." The stranger chuckled and was about to move her hand closer to Karina's neck when she felt a hard pull from her hair causing her to look up while shouting in shocked which caused her to immediately let go of Karina to hold the hand that was pulling on her hair.

"Ack! Yah!" She turned to glare at who dared to pull her hair.

There, Winter with the coldest glare she ever throws. She was her hand onto the stranger's hair tightly as she keeps her grip before pulling her harshly again causing her to wince in pain. She wanted to fight back but stopped as she looked at the four bodyguards behind Winter.

Karina turned to Aeri with her eyes saying "I told you."

"Do you know who I am?" Winter asked in a lazy tone.

"W-Who-"

"Winter. My name is Winter Kim."

The girl's eyes widened. Of course, Winter Kim. The most mean family member in the Kim if anyone ever gets on her bad side, she's known for that title too. Then, Winter turned to look at Karina, still with her cold eyes and Karina stared back at her with the same intensity.

"And do you know who is she?" Winter asked while still looking at Karina.

"N-No I-"

"Karina. Karina Yoo." Winter sighed out loud before looking back at the terrified girl as she realised that no one is willing to help her out.

"She. Is. Mine." Winter said while gritting her teeth.

"You ever touch her again, I'll break every bone in your body. Do you hear me?" The girl nodded vigorously, lips trembled as she asked Winter to let her go.

When Winter finally let her go, she kept bowing before rushing out of the club with one of Winter's guards making sure she did leave. Winter runs her hand on her hair and looked at Karina, giving her a glare.

"You don't let anyone else touching you. Ever." Winter hissed at her then she looked behind and pointed at Aeri who immediately raised her both hands at her.

"And you. I told you to make sure no one comes near Karina." Winter said.

"I got distracted. Sorry?" Aeri bit her bottom lip.

"You-" Winter was about to throw hands when Karina quickly held her waist and carried her up, bringing her to one of the private rooms.

"I am not done yet with your friend!" Winter growled.

"I know." Karina said.

Winter puffed her cheeks and put her hands on her hips.

"You need to calm down."

"I told you, I don't like anyone else touching you."

"I know."

"And you still let it happen!"

Karina chuckled and Winter frowned, looking at her in confusion.

"Minjeong." Karina called her name softly and smiled fondly at her. Winter squinted at her and shakes her head.

"You can't do this to me." Winter closed her eyes as she mumbled.

"Minjeong ah." Karina whispered as she slowly stepped closer to cup Winter's face, caressing her cheek using her thumbs. She smiled even more once she can feel that Winter is calming down already.

"You're not being fair right now." 

"Hm. Anything to get you to calm down, I guess. I need my girlfriend to calm down so I gotta do what I have to do." 

Winter opened her eyes now and stares into Karina's warm eyes.

"Now you remember that you are my girlfriend."

"I did tell her to not touch me, but before I could do something about it, you suddenly came and beats me to it." Karina explained.

"I do not lie. Yoo Jimin will never lie to Kim Minjeong, I promised you already. Remember?" Karina added when she can sense that Winter was about to argue with her. 

"Kiss me, Yoo Jimin."

Karina's eyes stare down at her lips before staring back up at her eyes again. Winter is doing it again to her. Yes, she managed to win against Karina few days ago when they did boxing together. So, Karina kept her words and promised to do whatever Winter want her to.

"I would love to." Karina whispered before leaning in, smiling at Winter first then finally kissed her lips.

Winter smiled through the kisses and pulled Karina closer as she stepped back, bringing them towards the couch. Karina ended up on top of Winter on the couch, making out passionately.

"You know, Aeri is waiting outside." Karina mentioned once she pulled away to breathe.

"Serve her right. She said she'll keep the girls away from you and she's not doing a good job." 

"We've made her wait for long already though." 

"Make her wait longer and kiss me more."

Karina chuckled and Winter's heart soars, still not used hearing the lovely sound coming from Karina.

"Anything for you. Us against the world, right?" 

Winter grinned and nodded her head. Karina bumped their forehead softly before kissing her again.

"I love you, Jimin." 

"And I love you." Karina replied and Winter can feel her heart clenched in a good way.

"I love you, Kim Minjeong." She said it again. Winter kissed her harder this time, hugging her tightly and Karina knows, Winter is at her happiest right now. Just like her. And she promised herself, she'll do anything to keep Winter by her side. It'll really be them together against the world from now on.
