Up in the Sky

Painting

March 12,2020
It had been a couple of days since moving in Yena, Hyewon, Sakura, and Yujin have been in the game room nonstop. Nako, Eunbi, Chaewon, and Minjoo are all in the living room watching a drama. Yuri is in her room playing the piano. Wonyoung running up and down the stairs as a workout, Chaeyeon is dancing in her room and Minjung is in the basement with Hitomi painting as the younger worked on her coloring book.

"What are you going to paint?"

"Since Saku-Chan's birthday is coming up I think I will paint something for her."

"I'm really confused now."

"Why?"

"A couple weeks ago you were with Jaemin like every single day... now you can't stop talking about Sakura Unnie."

"What does that mean?"

"Do you know where your heart truly is?"

"No."

"Is there any attraction between you and Jaemin?"

"Yeah. It's just that it's harder to interact with him because we might get caught. I don't even know what his fans would think."

"Don't let people who don't even know you determine what you should do with your life." Minjung raised her eyebrow at Hitomi's wise words of advice. "I am quiet but that doesn't mean I don't listen. I know you are torn between Jaemin oppa and Sakura unnie. Choose the one that makes your heart flutter more. Don't even think about the pros and cons."

Minjung pressed her pink lips into a line. "How the hell am I supposed to know that?"

"Oh right... Well for now just paint."

      Minjung silently painted. She had her chin on the palm of her hand with her elbow on the table. She dabbed her brush in the paint and onto the canvas. Splashes of green, brown and mostly pink colored the canvas. The pink looked liked furry clouds tied down by the brown. "Minjung. Is that a Sakura tree?"

      "What?" Minjung jumped. "You say something?"

       "Are you painting a Sakura Tree?"

       "Oh..... uh.... yeah..."

        "You sound unsure."

        "I wanted to paint Cotten candy but now that you mention it, it really does look like a Sakura Tree."

        "Minjung Unnie! Tomi Unnie!"

        "Yes?"

        "It's dinner time!"

"After you." Hitomi gestured. Minjung walked up the stairs with Hitomi following after. The older girl missed the smirk coming from the younger. As Minjung stepped out of the basement, she was brought to the ground.

Yujin tackled Minjung to the ground wrapping her limbs around the older. "Ya- Hito.... was this the reason you let me up first?"

"Sure is." Hitomi spoke stepping over the two.

"Please get off me Yujin."

"No Unnie gives good hugs."

Minjung sighed before accepting the puppy's hug. She laid on her back and pushed herself and Yujin up. With Yujin still wrapped around Minjung, the older girl waddled to the kitchen table. "You know at this rate, you will take the koala title from me."

"I'll carry you more after dinner okay?"

"No fair I want to be carried by Minjung Unnie!" Wonyoung pouted.
