"So, do you want cheese or barbecue flavored?"

"Um, not a fan of both."

"Pink pringles, how about it?"

"Uhm, no."

Minjeong turned to her. "No?"

Jimin chuckled. "I told you I don't usually eat snacks, Mindeongie."

The girl shrugged and put the other chips back on the shelf. "Completely forgot about it, sorry."

Jimin just smiled. 

"I remembered," Minjeong took a pack of gummies. "I still haven't treated you yet. I could've done it when we bought pizza last time."

"Then just treat me next time."

"Why not now?" Minjeong was confused. 

"Just because." The taller girl shrugged. Minjeong eyed her weirdly before looking away.

"…Okay."

Minjeong walked away and Jimin followed her. She was busy looking at the snacks, rationally thinking about the food that she will buy this time.

Suddenly, an arm snaked around her waist, pulling her back. 

"Careful," Jimin whispered, dangerously near her ear. "There's a spilled drink on the floor."

Minjeong silently looked down on the floor, noticing a spilled cola in front of her.

"Oh."

Jimin's arm is still around her waist. And she was just stuck there, standing stiffly. 

"Are you finished?"

"H-huh?"

"Are you finished picking snacks?"

"Oh, uhm…" Minjeong looked at the snacks in her hands. "Yeah, I guess."

"Let's go?"

"Okay."

They went to the counter. Jimin is still holding her. 

Minjeong paid for the food and they both went out of the store.

Jimin's arm never left her waist. 

And Minjeong didn't mind it, not that she noticed because she's happily looking at the snacks she bought, already excited to eat it. 

"So, where to?"

Minjeong looked up immediately. 

"What?"

"Where should we go next?" Jimin smiled.

'We?'

"I was…I was planning to go home." The short haired girl absentmindedly muttered. 

Jimin formed a pout. "Aw, that's a bummer."

"W-why?"

"I wanted to spend time with you."

"Spend time with me?"

"Why?" The taller one asked. "Is it a problem?"

"N-no…"

Actually, it is. 

It's a problem, a big one. 

Didn't Minjeong say earlier that she still wants to avoid Jimin for the meantime? 

But here she is, slowly getting weak over Jimin's cute pouty face.

How can she resist that? Can anyone actually resist that?
