High Tolerance

“flight NY294, Terminal 1, Terminal 1” Minjeong continued to mumble to herself in cycles, determined to not forget those details as she sat next to Jimin whilst Uber drove them towards the airport.

 

She was only notifed two days ago by Lee Jun-woo himself about Jimin's new opportunity to make an interview appearance overseas. Since the success of the A-lister's new movie, box sales have sold out quickly and the demand for the actress' appearance had made it to the lights of Time Square.

 

It wouldn't be a stretch to say, this would be one of the very first times a Korean romance film, has reached waves on the other side of the planet, garnering a new assortment of investment interests over Jimin's agency.

 

Due to these facts, the CEO couldn't waste even a second further, demanding Minjeong to book a flight and hotel no matter the cost, as soon as possible. The goal was to send Jimin and her manager to New York the first flight they could find, preferably the very next morning the moment he had find out about the news of those investors. The man didn't even stop to breathe for a second as he announced this news to Minjeong over the phone.

 

However, that's when the difficult part came about, needing to book a flight at such short notice is seemingly impossible. Being high season at the moment, the blonde couldn't even get her hands on an economy ticket, let alone business or first class on a direct line.

 

 

And Jimin being Jimin, who refused to take transfer flights, that only left Minjeong with one other option:

 

She had to book an early flight the day after...

 

Now, anyone could tell, under such circumstances, this missup is not on the blonde entirely, however, with the CEO's desperation for the face of the company to make an appearance, he did not hold back on giving Minjeong an absolute mouthful. Letting the manager know she had been "Too tardy with her work" despite those very seats having been booked out months in advance.

 

Minjeong had held her breath then, listening to Jun-woo's scolding, not wanting to piss off the man further, but also... a part of her also thought maybe she even deserved it a tiny bit... having threatened her own dismissal over the phone with the CEO to convince him to let Un Jae go as Jimin's driver and to be assigned elsewhere.

 

It was a bit of a back and forth... but Minjeong, with Jimin's longest manager title held over her had, had served to be an advantageous clutch.

 

And besides, perhaps there might’ve even been some truths behind the booking issues as well.
 

Due to the last minute announcement of Jimin's public appearance in New York, not only was she tasked with the bookings, but she had also been assigned to request drivers in the US, look for security guides at the venue, discuss who would be at the interview and most importantly how they were going to ensure Jimin's safety. 

 

All of it... she chose to prioritise before flights and accomodation.

 

which had really come back to bite Minjeong in the ...

 

Now with that in mind, the blonde had understandably been in quite a sour mood.

 

But right now her anxiety was honestly just tipping over the roof... because apparently the current high season didn't just stop at flights, but also branched out to a short supply of ubers and taxis recently...

 

It literally took the blonde an hour to even get a hold of one in the end.

 

Ah man.. If I had known this was going to happen, I would've held off on getting rid of Jae until after the USA trip.

 

She supposes there's not point of regretting over such trivial matters anymore though... afterall... seeing that subtle smile Jimin had tried to keep to herself that day when Minjeong pulled up to pick up the actress...

 

yeah...

 

it was worth it.

 

But man, did the girl really need to scold her so much about the tardy Uber as well? She already knows there's no time to spare, but come on, it's not like the blonde controlled the flow of traffic.

 

She was already memorising the flight details to make sure they at the very least can get through the airport smoothly and Jimin's current complaints were really not doing much to help that process.

 

She hopes to god, they will be able to make the flight on time... because..

 

She swears If she gets another scolding from both Jimin and the CEO over missing this flight, there would be no tongue left for her to bite back because it would've been severed from then after how often she's been biting it, the past two days.

 

Jimin's smile was worth it.. it was worth it, it was worth it.

 

She closes her eyes and sighs to herself as she continued to pray to the plane gods.

“Oh thank god..” Minjeong sighed into her chair, letting her back get all comfy on the most expensive seat she's ever sat on in her life, finally being able to relax the first time in two days.

 

Her arms were so sore from carrying both her and Jimin’s luggage and her legs felt like jelly from running so much. She really didn’t know how her small body had even made it out alive.
 

 

So by all the world, she was just happy they were able to make the flight on time, even if it meant she had to rush for her life to get here.

 

Ahhh so this is what first class feels like

 

She stretched out her legs and gave her toes a wiggle, never realising how comfortable an aeroplane could be until now. The flight attendants even gave her fluffy slippers!

 

Heaven…

 

“You’re weird.”

 

“Huh?” The blonde swiftly looks over at the pretty raven haired woman who was also sitting beside her. “No I’m not.”

 

“Yes you are”

 

“How!?”

 

“Just act normal already, stop acting like you’ve never been on a flight before”

 

“But this is first class Jimin” The woman circles her arms around her self to emphasise the prestige of the class "First!"

 

“And it’s embarrassing, sit properly”

 

“No funnn“ MInjeong with a small pout on herself... turned back around as she was told, not noticing a flight attendant that had approached her.

 

“Excuse me miss,” Minjeong had to clear after realising who the staff was referring to.

 

“Yes”

 

“Can I offer you a glass of our finest wine, we’re currently in partnership with Rawinery, it’s on the house for all customers travelling with us on First and Business today”

 

“Of course!” Excitedly, Minjeong reached for the freshly poured glass of wine before taking a big sip. The girl didn't even know the adequite ways of tasting if the wine is of quality or not.. but all she knew was..

 

It’s free.

 

It’s first class

 

And the pretty flight attendant just said it’s one of the finest..

 

so it must be good!

 

“Can you slow down? You look like you're trying to drink the whole supply”

 

“Jimin” She turns her head to the actress once again “When in the world would I ever get to go business class, let alone first class again? I should enjoy myself and you should lighten up too.”

 

“Considering you work for me” Jimin flips threw a magazine as she answered noncholantly. “You’ll probably be here again”

 

“Well, until that day” She takes in another gulp “I’ll make the most of it”

 

“Just don’t get drunk please”

 

“I have a high tolerance so don’t worry!” I hope! “Besides didn’t you hear; people tend to be more honest when they’re drunk”

 

 

 

⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇

 

 

….

 

….

 

“Well this is awkward”

 

Hearing Minjeong ramble out her thoughts, Jimin just sighed defeatedly and plopped onto the massive sofa within their hotel room.

 

“Rather than awkward, I think going to is more suitable”

 

After their flight, the two woman had a field day, fumbling through their vast knowledge of the english language to finally found a taxi driver to take them to their hotel.

 

But just as they thought their trip was full of success when they stepped foot within their shared hotel room... 

 

Let's just say... 

 

at the end...

 

there was just one single thing that didn't turn out as expected...

 

Due to high demand, most rooms had been completely sold out, but Minjeong was still able to get her hands onto a doubles room at the last second..

 

however....

 

the twin beds that they expected to see... turned out to be one queen bed instead....

 

So..

 

That was a situation for sure...

 

“Hey! Don’t be like that”

 

Rubbing her temple, Jimin had felt for the first time, what biting back her own tongue actually felt like. She had been getting better at controlling the diva within herself recently.

 

If you asked her why, she really can't answer... but let's just say... the shorter blonde girl in her life might have something to do with it...

 

Either way, these days, the girl tries her best to not let arbitrary situations bother her as much and typically won’t throw a tantrum over trivial things.

 

However, the keyword here.. is try.

 

“Minjeong!” The volume of Jimin’s voice causes the shorter woman to shudder as the actress was no longer able to contain the annoyance that had slowly built up since the whole Uber Situation “I’m not sure if you’re blind, but there is ONE BED IN THIS ROOM. ONE”

 

Trying to gulp away her fears, the blonde immediately tried to extinguish the flame that was very visible behind Jimin's eyes “Actually, it’s one BIG bed” Her words came out slow and cautious… as if worried anything would tip off the taller by now.

 

“I don’t care!” Jimin stands up straight and marches towards Minjeong who took two steps back anxiously. “How did you screw this up!?”

 

“There was only one room left on the booking site alright!” Minjeong proceeds to tap two index fingers together repeatedly… while she kept her head down… feeling quite ashamed that she had made such a mistake “It said for two people… and this is a 5 star hotel… so I assumed they meant two queen beds… not one….”

 

“Why would they have two queen beds for two people!?”


“I don’t know! I never booked a five star hotel before!”

 

“URGH” Jimin didn't want to look at Minjeong anymore, fearing she was going to lose her temper and cause the younger more distress than need be... afterall, she's already complained enough the entire trip.. having even forced the girl to carry all the luggage for her ... but come on.. this mess up is just plain annoying..

 

how can she not have a little bit of an attitude?

 

“What… are we going to do about this then you- you..." A sudden thought crossed Jimin's mind... causing her cheeks to grow slightly red as the imagery became clearer and clearer to her “You don’t expect me to have to share do you?”

 

"What!" Registering what Jimin meant... the girl's eyes widened as the possibility made her feel.... some.. type of way... “No! of course not! Um..” Minjeong weaved back and forth, scrambling though her brain to try to find a solution and quick. “We can look for another place to stay?”

 

“You told me everything was booked out and this is the only one with rooms left”

 

“Oh uh..” She began looking from the bed to the couch. “Couch! I’ll sleep on the couch!”

 

“Minjeong, that couch is about as wide as a Victoria secret model from the side, your feet will be hanging off”

 

“Then we- then-“

 

Then we sleep together?

 

!!!

 

Omg Minjeong what are you thinking

 

Blood rushed to Minjeong’s cheeks immediately as the very thought infiltrated her brain… she began spacing out as her face turned completely red whilst steam could practically be seen emerging from the top of her head..

 

“Then what?” Jimin raises an eyebrow at the silent blonde in front of her… following the woman’s line of vision however… just to see the bed between them… the actress suddenly put two and two together… resulting to her already slightly flushed cheeks to also reach the same shade of colour as Minjeong’s. “You don’t mean-“

 

“Floor!” The blonde yells out, face still as red as a tomato “I’ll sleep on the floor! Look” She picks up a pillow from the hotel bed “There’s like enough pillow for me to make a mattress on the ground, I’ll use my spare jacket as a blanket, it’ll be fine”

 

“… are you sure?” Jimin eyed the girl and her demeanour suspiciously…

 

“Yes, I made the mistake, so I’ll take the consequences” Robotically, Minjeong began walking away… towards the mini fridge provided within the room.

 

Having those thoughts about Jimin just then turned out to be more than her little body could handle...

 

She wasn't sure what her stance with Jimin was completely yet... but until then.. even if she herself feels there's something there... she really needed to control her thoughts...

 

No matter how difficult it had been recently..

 

I need to cool down…

 

Her face was burning red… with the vivid picture of her and Jimin together in bed still fresh in her mind… not wanting to go away for some reason.

 

Stop brain STOP

 

She opens the door and puts her face into the fridge. Really needing the cool air to hit her skin so she could hopefully wake up and function again as normal.

 

However, as soon as she opened her

Chapter 35: nice, thank god jihoon is not a threat on jmj's rs. i kinda expect that jimin would atleast make a move on to fixing her rs with minjeong but nah, girly is too busy being a diva.

anway, jihoon gave mj a push but i needed someone to push jimin. someone who'll make her change her mind towards mj, that she's not like her parents and ex and that she's worth it.

p.s hope all is well author-nim. thank you for updating
