赤い糸 - Red String of Fate | JeongSa - MiChaeng

Chapter 59 - taming the hamster

This one hooman was unconsciously biting her finger, pacing back and forth for the tenth time. The sudden rain had thrown her off.

What should I do?

WHAT SHOULD I DO??

Jeongyeon ended up running through the drizzle without an umbrella, coming back with four yoghurt smoothies and a pile of snacks — her best shot at bribing the hamster.

Sana was sitting on the floor in front of the couch, watching TV when Jeong timidly slipped in.

"Achoo!" Jeong covered her mouth. Damn it.

Sana glanced up. "Welcome back" Then back to the screen.

Jeongyeon crept closer, placed the smoothies on the table, and knelt then clasped her hands in mock prayer.

"What are you doing? Praying for Chinese gods or what?" she asked with a grumpy tone.

"An Apooooologyy to MinaTOZAKII Sanaaaa the Godddd of of... Japan??,,,,~~~ I was wrongggg, please forgivvvveeee meeee"

Sana's lips twitched, failing to hold back a laugh.

"Not funny?  tenggggg terengg~~ Then—here" Jeong pushed a straw into one of the cups. "Pleaseee Drink, my offering"

Sana sighed but took it, sipping anyway.

"Better?" Jeong grinned.

"Depends. What are you apologizing for?"

"Umm... about Nayeon earlier, I can explain—"

"Oh, the café girl? Mina told me. That's fine. I'm still mad though." She side-glared.

"Mad?? About what?" Jeong blinked.

"Look at yourself. Soaked. No umbrella? You'll get sick. From now on—I'll forbid you"

"Heh." Jeong scratched her damp hair, "Forbidden from what?"

"From punching people"

Relief washed over Jeong. She thought it was something worse. "Alright, Promise"

"Say it. 'I, Yoo Jeongyeon, won't punch anyone anymore'"

Jeong repeated obediently. Sana nodded, satisfied.

Grinning, Jeong gave her cheek a little punch, just a tap.

"Yah! You promised"

"You're not anyone. You're mine" Jeong did it again.

"Yahhh." Sana tried not to laugh.

"Not mad anymore?" Jeong teased.

Sana shook her head, sipping. "But I will be mad if you don't help me finish these four."

"ㅋㅋㅋ, yes, God of Japan"

They ate, they laughed. Later, Jeong kept sneezing. Sana tugged her up.

"Hot shower. Now!"

"Can't I just sleep?" Jeong whined.

"Then I'll help you" :>

Jeong bolted. "No thanks! Not a kid!"

Sana wanders near the bathroom door, holding the hair dryer, waiting for Jeongyeon to finish. Sana talks near the door, "Hey, what takes you so long?"

*door open

Jeongyeon lightly chuckles, "Ms. Minatozaki Sana, it's very wrong to eavesdrop on people showering,,"

"I don't care," Sana pulls her hand, asking her to sit near the wardrobe as she needs the power plugs.

Jeongyeon sits nicely while the younger one is drying her hair.

After that, a medicine session.

Soon Jeong collapsed into bed. Sana finished tidying, then crept upstairs.

"Oh," she whispered, finding Jeong fast asleep. She carefully pulled the blanket over her.

Jeong stirred, blinking innocently. "I fell asleep?"

"ㅋㅋㅋ. Yes. Go back to sleep"

"Mm" She obeyed, eyes closing.

Sana slid in, pushing her toward the edge.

"Just want to sleep peacefully, I'm so tired," she mumbled.

"Then sleep. Goodnight, hun"

-

Sana smirked in the dark, fingers hovering near Jeong's jawline again.

But a hand caught hers.

Sleepy voice. "Sana-ssi..."

Busted.

Jeong tugged her closer, wrapping an arm around her. "Stop disturbing me"

Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly snuggled in, savoring the warmth.

"Please Sleep," Jeong whispered.

Sana grinned against her chest. "Beg me again. I like it"

Jeong cracked an eye open, "Do you want me to kick you out?"

"Sorry!!! Goodnight!!"

She kisses her forehead, "good girl...Night"

And finally, silence.
