“can i hug you?”
hanni hates physical touch. in fact, hate is an understatement that doesn’t even begin to describe how she feels about it. she doesn’t like to touch or be touched, but there’s something about minji that she can’t resist.
whenever minji wants hanni to do something, she does it without any hesitation. this absolutely baffles her to the core, hanni does not do this to anyone— but with minji? she will immediately do it, no questions asked.
hanni has asked her friends about it, and they’ve told her that maybe she likes her. but, the latter doesn't feel that way; or perhaps she does, but she’s just in denial. also, there are times when minji makes her heart flutter, and this is one of those moments.
"hanni, are you even listening?"
minji asked with a pout on her face. she finds it endearing, it even took her a few seconds before replying.
"i would love to," she said, stretching both of her arms out, gesturing the tall girl to hug her; which minji did. they stayed in the same spot for a minute before the latter broke the hug, feeling somewhat satisfied.
"so," hanni paused, there was silence between them.
“what is it?”
“do you want to go home together?” she asked, anticipating her to respond while minji just laughed, “sure.”
after that they went home together. maybe just maybe she’s in denial, but who cares anyway? whether she likes her or not, minji will always be that exception.
