The Music Of Love [YooMin] 3.

Park Jimin

“What I said is not a line"

He reaches past me and grabs the pen and pad we use to mark take-out orders. He begins to scribble something down.

Park Jimin

“I meant what I said. I’m sorry, Yoonji. And I’d like to take you out to apologize. You can reach me at this number.”

With a callused hand twice the size of mine, he presses a piece of paper into my palm.

Park Jimin

“Now don’t let that get out, okay? I’ll have to get a new number.”

Min Yoonji

“You suggesting I would sell this?”

Park Jimin

“I know you wouldn’t do that, Yoonji,” his eyes fixed on mine as he moves aside, making way for me. “Call me. I’ll show you a great time.”

I’m playing with the piece of paper between my thumb and forefinger when I get back to the apartment. My roommate, Jennie, is in the bathroom doing her makeup, getting ready for her shift at Tigress’s, the gentleman’s club where she dances. I come in and say nothing. I just sort of lean against the doorframe, looking down at the string of numbers in my hand.

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

“What’s up with you?” finally says as she curls her lashes.

Min Yoonji

“I…I don’t think you’d believe me if I told you"

Jennie and I have been friends since freshman year. She’s always been the more outgoing one, which is why she became a dancer when I became a waitress. She turns around and gives me a questioning look.

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

"Try me"

Min Yoonji

“You see this?” holding up the paper for her to see.

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

"Yeah?"

Min Yoonji

“You know whose number this is?”

She leans in to take a closer look, and although I trust her with my life, I snatch the scrap away from her, causing her to frown at me like I just tried to attack her.

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

"What are you-?"

Min Yoonji

"Park Jimin"

When his name comes out of my mouth, a strange sense of pride comes over me, and I don’t like it. I shouldn’t be feeling it. Not me.

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

"Shut it down"

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

“Shut the fu^k up,” laughs, turning back to the mirror.

Min Yoonji

“No, I’m serious!It’s Park Jimin’s. He came into tonight.”

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

...............

Min Yoonji

“Beats me! But he was there.”

I go on to recount all the details of what just happened back at the restaurant, and by the time I’m finished, there’s a look of total disbelief on Jennie’s face. I completely understand why.

Jennie has diagnosed me with a heavy case of RBF, aka resting-b¡tch-face. As such, men simply don’t come up to me. In my entire eighteen years of being on this planet, I’ve only ever had one single boyfriend, and that was back when I was fourteen. But,I found out later that the only reason we ended up dating was that his hockey bros dared him to.

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

“So you told Jimin no?” Sarah asks, even though I just told her I did.

Min Yoonji

"Yeah"

Min Yoonji

Nod

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

Nod

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

"Good"

Min Yoonji

"Good?"

More than slightly confused. Jennie is normally the one pressuring me into doing things I don’t want to do—like dancing. She’s been telling me to apply to Tigress’s ever since I turned eighteen.

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

“Yeah.” She nods, moving past me and going into her bedroom. Confused, I follow her.

Min Yoonji

“Wait, what?I expected you to be telling me to say yes to his invitation.”

Jennie shakes her head as she pulls out some new pieces of lingerie from her closet and examines them.

Jennie/Yoonji Roommate

“Nah, you wouldn’t be able to handle a guy like Jimin.”
