Heo Minjin

She let the other pull her along behind her as she hummed softly under her breath, continuing to glance around to get a feel for the younger’s apartment. The difference between Minjin’s apartment and her own was a complete one-eighty. While the younger had a clean and very neatly organized apartment, Hwasa’s was an utter mess - organized chaos as she liked to call it; clearly because she was out of her apartment so much, she rarely stayed inside if only to sleep for a few hours. “Our bed, huh?” A single brow raised and she slowly pulled her hand free before climbing up onto the bed and then promptly laid down, burying her head in the pillows as she began to yawn, the first sign that she was beyond exhausted from how much she had been working lately.

She grinned as she walked over to the bed, handing the remote over to the elder woman. "You use this to change the bed settings on your side." Fortunately she'd picked the side Minjin hadn't already set, but it was still going to be an adventure in adaption as they got used to there being someone sleeping next to them. "You should sleep Unnie. When you wake up from your nap we can get dinner and then move your things over here if you want."

"I never mentioned separate bedrooms—" Where did she get the idea of separate bedrooms? Hwasa specifically knew she hadn’t brought up their moving in together when talking about being separated for any length of time so how was she coming up with what she was. "You really are quite silly, Minjin. It’s really cute. I don’t have a problem with us sharing a room so I wouldn’t bring up the need for separate bedrooms, okay?" She pulled away then, her hand slipping back down to take the younger’s hand in her own before tugging her further into the apartment, glancing around from side-to-side. "Let’s test out the bedroom, mm? We’ll see how comfy we are."

"I thought you did." She pouted a bit, pulling the other towards the bedroom. Thankfully she had kept everything organised and she didn't have to be embarrassed about the state of her apartment. Opening the door to the bedroom she practically vibrated with excitement. Maybe they were doing things out of order but that didn't matter. She was just happy to be able to spend even more time with her friend. "This is our bed." She told her once they were inside the bedroom. "My dad gave me a new quilt so it's nice and warm. It even has air inside so that the two side can be different levels of firmness or softness."

Blinking a few times, she could barely keep herself from grinning out of pure amusement. “Minjin… Since when did I say something about not wanting to move in together? I was only saying that we can’t always be side-by-side; that doesn’t mean we can’t live with each other.” Playfully clicking her tongue out of amusement, her gaze softened into one of affection as she continued to gently run her fingers through her hair. “We’ll make sure to talk more if we’re ever apart. That’s what texts and phone calls and video calls are for, mm?”

"You said we'd go to different bedrooms though." She pouted, motioning to the one bedroom door. "There's only one bedroom here so we can't go to separate bedrooms." She sulked a little bit as she shook her friend gently, trying to decide if they should go to the bedroom or not. She needed to show off the apartment so they could decide if this was there they wanted to live.

She giggled softly, tilting her head back and glancing at the other through heavily-lidded eyes that were hiding only to keep Minjin from realizing how seriously the older of the two was taking the situation. Her voice was still soft when she finally found it in her to speak, easily studying the other because the younger wasn’t trying to pull away and Hwasa was more than happy to keep the two of them in place where they were at. “You can go off on your own, just as I could go off on my own; we don’t always have to be at each other’s side because distance does good for bonding. Just as we won’t always have the chance to go everywhere with each other… We’ll have to take advantage of the chances given, that’s all.” Her fingers that had curled around Minjin’s wrist slowly slipped away before she was reaching up, gently running her fingers through the younger’s short, dark locks. “Let’s take everything a step at a time. Rushing will do neither of us any good.”

She glanced up, pouting a bit at her friend. "So you don't want to move in together?" She asked, telling herself that her voice didn't actually crack a bit. If they were going to separate rooms they they couldn't be moving into a one bedroom apartment. "I didn't like being separate though, you were here and I was on the other side of the earth and it wasn't nice at all." She admitted, almost embarrassed about the amount of time she'd spent thinking about the elder woman while she was on her vacation.

A single eyebrow raised, the arch an elegant question of just what the other meant by someone pulling her back. Had she been like this with someone else before? The thought alone had jealousy curling in the pit of her stomach and she bit at her bottom lip before her hand moved, lithe fingers curling around Minjin’s wrist before tugging her back until they were pressed loosely together face-to-face. She wrapped her free arm around the younger’s waist, keeping her there as she studied her quietly for a few moments before she leaned in. Her eyes fluttered shut and she rested her forehead against the other’s, a soft sigh slipping from her lips. “I’ve thought about it before… The possibility of you and I being a thing.” Her voice was quiet, barely more than a whisper but that was why she was so extremely close to Minjin, so if her voice were to give out she would still hear the whispers. “I like the thought and would like it to happen one day… So until I’m ready and even when I am… I’ll be here to pull you back, to act as your anchor; because I feel you might just fly off into the sunset someday and I’ll be left behind.”

"I won't fly anywhere without taking you with me Unnie..." She whispered, resting her hands on the elder woman's hips. It was nice being this close and she didn't want it to stop. She wanted to just stay really close, not moving, until she was suddenly ready to be a couple with her. She knew that she couldn't make the same mistakes she'd made before though and she just had to be patient. "I think about being with you a lot." She looked down, not wanting to ruin whatever it was that they did have. "I'm happiest when unnie is right here..." That wasn't going too far, that was just telling the truth. She couldn't let it get too emotional though, she had to walk the line as well as possible, so that she didn't push the other away on accident. "I don't want to go anywhere without you."

Her eyes widened as she was pulled out of her own apartment, glancing frantically back while she barely pulled the door shut after her. All the while she tried to keep up with the younger and barely kept up when she heard the word ‘couple’ escape Minjin. Were they—? She was left blinking, her gaze never leaving the other until they were upstairs and in her own apartment. With the chance open for her to speak, she gently tugged on the younger’s hand, her voice soft and giving away that she was about ready to stop speaking altogether because of just how quickly everything was suddenly moving. “Couple? Minjin— Is…that what you consider us? We haven’t…been on any dates and we haven’t known each other all that long… We’re good friends yes and I’m sure we’ll be a couple but…” Suddenly she felt her voice leave her altogether, fright filling her the more she spoke because what if she hurt the younger with her words? “…I’m not ready for something like that…being considered a couple…that’s a big thing…” She didn’t want to rain on the parade but she couldn’t just go along with something she wasn’t comfortable with yet. Hwasa knew she would be one day but at that very moment she knew she wasn’t ready.

Well, she'd certainly read that as wrong as she possibly could have. She deflated for a couple of seconds but immediately perked back up. They didn't have to be a couple to live together. "We should go on a date then and then go on more dates until you're ready." She smiled, doing her best not to appear disappointed. It wasn't a bad thing that the other wasn't ready, they hadn't been around each other that often and she did say there was the possibility in the future. She probably should have asked the other before she'd just assumed things, but she had suggested they move in together... she shrugged her shoulders and shook the thoughts out of her head. "I always move too fast, I just need someone to pull me back."
