It was already late in the afternoon when the vtubers, Ryujin decided to end the stream where Minjeong and Jimin joined her mid minecraft stream. They decided to call it a day so Ryujin was saying goodbyes to her viewers when one of the comments caught her attention.
"Ryujin, you forgot Minjeong's flower." The comment said, reminding Ryujin.
"Oh no!" She said, going out of their temporary base. "You are absolutely correct!" Leaving Jimin and Minjeong inside the base.
"Flower..." Minjeong said softly, looking at Jimin's avatar in the game.
"Flower." Jimin repeated, obviously smiling like hell in her gaming chair. Minjeong repeated the word again, and so did Jimin.
Ryujin though, mined some dirt completely forgetting she already has dirt in her inventory. She went back to the base while the two kept on saying "Flower", making Ryujin think that she is saying it wrong.
"Flower..." Jimin once again said. This time, Minjeong slowly cracks up into a soft and innocent laugh.
"I just.." She started, obviously trying not to laugh so hard. This made Ryujin confused, as to why Minjeong was laughing when Jimin said that word.
"I just like the way Jimin says-" She's literally cracking up at this point. But she proceeds to say flower with Jimin and Ryujin, the comments are now full of the word flower and the emoji of it.
While Minjeong was busy laughing, Ryujin placed the flower beside the beds, just above the dirt block. Then she turned around, facing Jimin and Minjeong's character close to one another. Their character's heads were touching, as if kissing in game.
"What are you guys doing?" She said, seeing the two in front of her. Minjeong was just laughing so bad each time Jimin said flower!
"Stop..." Minjeong is still laughing at this point.
This time though, Jimin was the one who started to crack up. Laughing in her deep voice with Minjeong, leaving Ryujin confused or rather, in complete disbelief. Knowing damn well that the two had secret feelings for one another.
"Flower"
"I'm crying...I can't do this, I'm crying" Said Minjeong, she then runs around their base while laughing, Jimin following from behind.
After a few minutes, Ryujin decided to end her stream. It was already 5 in the afternoon and the snow is starting to fall once again as the night approaches.
Ryujin then said her goodbyes to the other two in the voice call before logging off, leaving them behind.
"So..." Jimin started. She stopped when she heard someone giggle from the other end.
"Don't continue on it, you'll make me laugh again!" A woman in her early twenties said, remembering their minecraft interaction earlier.
"Hey, I'm not going to talk about that! It's also starting to make me laugh." Says Jimin in her chair, relaxing while talking to Minjeong, who is surprisingly a year younger than her and living in the same town as her! Just a couple houses away.
They met when they got signed to this one specific vtuber company, debuting at the same time with 3 other people. One of them is Ryujin. They just debuted last month but their bond with one another was already close. The company said to talk with each other before their debut so there would be no awkward moments on screen once they start their streams.
It goes way back to five months ago.
Out of the five of them, it is Jimin and Minjeong that was the closest among them. Learning that they live close to each other and somehow went to the same middle school back then!
Sometimes, they went to each other's house to spend time with each other or talk about their upcoming stream. They're so close that they even came up with a no face cooking collab once, surprising their fans. The company thought it was too early for that, they rejected the idea.
"So you have anything else to do now, barn owl?"
In their group, they were assigned a certain role for their virtual character. Minjeong is not really a barn owl, (well, technically) she's the founder of human civilization. As for Jimin, she's the warden of time. They're quite compatible for one another, no?
"Hmm, no... I think I'll just bake some lasagna." Said Minjeong.
"I'll come over." Said Jimin that caught Minjeong off guard.
"What?! Is it because of the lasagna?" Jimin hummed in the call that made Minjeong groan from the other end. "I can't believe you're making me make two lasagnas!" Whined by the girl.
"Who said you'll be making them by yourself? I'll be helping you!" Replied by Jimin. Minjeong knows the girl so well that she knew she was grinning behind the computer.
"I swear to god, Jimin. If you make a mess, I'll kick you out in no time."
"It's the Christmas season and it's snowing outside. You won't kick me out, I'm sure of it." Jimin heard the girl groaned again. She knows that she is quite annoying and Minjeong would always roll her eyes on her playfulness but she knows that Minjeong is happily receiving the other end of her annoying antics.
After a few minutes, Jimin found herself already standing in front of Minjeong's house, smiling while holding a bouquet of flowers on one hand and ringing the doorbell with the other.
The door soon opened, revealing a woman that is a bit smaller than her, wearing cute puppy pajamas.
Jimin's smile grew wider when she saw the girl that opened the door for her. She then moved the bouquet of flowers in between them so that Minjeong would see them.
"Flower." Jimin said, her smile is still wide as earlier. Though, there was a faint red tint that was visible through her cheeks and ears.
Minjeong just sighed and felt herself smiling at the other girl's loser behaviour (positive) before pulling her in and dusting off the snow from the girl's clothes.
"Let's make lasagna!" Said Jimin after removing her shoes, looking at Minjeong who was looking at the flower that was already in her hold.
"It's already in the oven, dumbo." Said Minjeong before giggling and left Jimin looking at her dumbfounded in the entrance.
"Wha... Minjeong, I said we'll do it together!" Jimin who got back to her senses, followed Minjeong to the kitchen.
They ate after a while and decided to go out to Minjeong's backyard, playing in the snow. They were trying to make a snowman but they kept on failing due to each other's silliness (they kept on bumping the snowman that it ended up falling apart).
And after a while, they finally made two snowmen. Jimin said that her snowman was the one with a leaf bangs so she placed a mole beside its lip just like the mole beside her lip. While Minjeong's snowman was the one that was a bit smaller. Jimin said that its height is similar to the blonde girl, earning a snow that was thrown to her face.
Minjeong then started to laugh when the snow sticked to the older's face. "Minjeong!" Said Jimin and started to grab as fist of snow in her hand while the other removed the ones that got thrown in her face.
Minjeong saw this and started to run just before Jimin could lift her hand to throw it to her. They ended up running around the backyard while throwing snowballs to one another. If someone was there to see them, they'll definitely look at them weirdly. As to why some grown ass women playing snowball fight in a backyard.
Jimin threw a big snowball that landed on Minjeong's back, making the small girl fall, face first into the snow. Earning a laughter from the ball thrower. Minjeong turned over so that it was her back laying on the snow and just stared above. Looking at the snow falling from the sky.
Jimin saw this opportunity to go near the woman and flop herself down above Minjeong, earning a whine from her as she tried all her strength to push Jimin off of her.
"You're so heavy, Jimin!" Said Minjeong but Jimin just laughed and hugged the younger tighter while they were in the snow.
"Jimin!" Minjeong then shouted when Jimin started to tickle the girl's side. She's still trying to push Jimin off despite her growing weak every tickle she gets. "Sto-HAHHHAHHAHAHAHA!"
When Jimin heard Minjeong start to breathe heavily, it was her sign to stop. So she did. She also got off of her and lay down beside the blonde girl.
"I hate you." Said Minjeong breathlessly. Jimin looked at her for a few seconds and smiled to herself before looking back up at the sky.
"No you don't." Jimin replied and grabbed the hand of the girl beside her before intertwining their hands in between their bodies. Then it went silent, a comfortable one.
They just lay in snow beside each other and their arms were holding the other with a matching smile and faint pink blush on their faces.
"Merry Christmas, Minjeong." Jimin said softly. Minjeong then turned her face towards the woman's way.
"Mhm, Merry Christmas too you flower dork."
