"Oh my God. I can't believe you made me do this Hanni." Minji squealed, gripping Hanni's arm tighter as the subway started moving again. Hanni looked at Minji's terrified face and could help but chuckle. Minji sent one of her recognizable glares at the brunette who only smiled in return, and leaned closer to her ear, "Mmm I love it when you glare like that at me...it makes me so...hot." she whispered in Minji's ear.

She was doing this quite often now, shameless flirting with Minji felt so natural and she used every opportunity she had to wind up the raven-haired. Retreating to look into Minji's eyes, she noticed they were glazed with lust. Hanni smirked victoriously to herself. But her gloating didn't last too long since Minji squealed again.

"What now?" Hanni asked, amused.

"What is that man doing?" Minji wrinkled her nose in disgust as she tightened her grip on Hanni's arm. Hanni glanced behind her back at the man in worn out and ripped clothes, who had his hand in his pants scratching himself absentmindedly, and then again at Minji who looked like she was about to throw up. The brunette threw a laughing fit at Minji's greenish face.

"Eww, Hanni stop laughing, I'll vomit if we don't get the hell out of here right now." she glared at the brunette again, whose face was red from laughing. Minji didn't even know why she agreed to this horrid idea. She has never taken a subway before, and now she was certain she never will again.

"We have two more stops and then we are leaving. Okay?" Hanni smiled at her.

"Fine, but you will pay for this." Minji said demonstratively, turning her head away from Hanni.

"l can't wait for my punishment." Hanni whispered huskily to her again. Minji flushed herself close to Hanni, burying her head in her shoulder. Hanni noticed a couple of people giving them curious glances but she didn't care, if every subway ride was like this, she would gladly ride it the rest of her life.

Fresh air finally.. well as fresh as it can get in Australia, Minji thought as they emerged on the streets again. Big snowflakes were adding up on the thin blanket of snow that covered the ground. Their boots screeched, leaving prints as they walked towards Hanni's parents' coffee place.

Minji glanced at Hanni who had buried her nose in her scarf. Her cheeks were adorably rosy from the cold. A little crease was nestled between her eyes, and her gaze was directed towards the ground, her long eyelashes almost brushing the top of her cheeks while her bangs are bouncing.

Minji noticed that Hanni wasn't particularly a fan of snow. On the other hand, Minji really liked snow and the holidays that came with it. It was one of the rare times that she spent with her parents, mostly because they had to uphold the image of a functional family in the face of their upper-class friends and acquaintances.

Minji loved dressing up for classy Christmas parties and receiving lots and lots of attention for once. Minji wondered what Hanni's Christmas would be like. There were so many things she didn't know about her friend, and she was looking forward to discovering them.

Since Irene passed away, she has spent a lot of time with Hanni. Minji smiled, glancing at the brunette, her smile hidden by her scarf. Minji never felt happier and she couldn't stop the riot of fuzzy feelings inside of her even if she wanted to. She realized that in the short span of time, since Hanni came into her life, she didn't feel alone anymore. Even Irene's leaving was somehow easier to handle with Hanni by her side.

Minji had to admit that these feelings scared her, she never felt like this in her life, and it made her feel insecure and vulnerable. Sometimes all of this seemed so surreal to her.

She not only let someone in her life but that certain someone was a girl and her so-called nemesis. But despite being scared of uncertainty and these new feelings, Minji had to take just one glance at Hanni to know that she wouldn't hurt her.
