Chapter XV

OMNISCIENT

"H-Hey--" Jimin collapsed, so Mina immediately caught his head and knocked on his unit multiple times, so that Taemin can open it for the both of them. It took them five minutes before Taemin opened the door and when he did, he got so shocked to see Jimin on Mina's arms. He immediately took Jimin and placed him on their couch while Mina stood still on the doorway, watching Jimin sleep on the couch.

She didn't even realize that Taemin is already in front of her. "Thank you for bringing Jimin home." He smiled, so she smiled back timidly and just nodded her head slightly. "I don't even know why he's outside." She didn't respond because she doesn't know what to say anyway. "Alright, thank you, again." He held Mina's arm swiftly and entered the house to aid Jimin.

She felt her phone's vibration, so she immediately answered the call. It's Bambam. "Hello?"

"Mina? Where are you?" Bambam asked from the other line.

"I-I already got home." She answered and sighed. She said sorry to him because she had to bother him even though she knows how to get home safely. "Sorry, again."

"That's alright." Bambam is just relieved that Mina is already home. She's safe and sound. "I'll go home soon, too."

"Okay. B-Be safe."

"Hmm. Okay. Bye." Bambam ended the phone call and Mina entered the unit. She saw Sorn at her own study table, solving some scientific problems. She greeted Bambam's sister right away when Sorn stood up.

"You got home late, huh." Sorn said and went to their kitchen. "Want me to make something?"

"No, I'm full. I ate with a friend outside." She told her and sat on the couch.

"Who? Bambam?"

"No, not him."

"Then Jimin?" Her eyebrows furrowed because she didn't know that Sorn knows Jimin. "It's Jimin, am I right?" Sorn wriggled her eyebrows up and down to tease Mina and even poked her arms.

Mina, giggling, shook her head as no. "It's a her." She answered.

"I thought it's a date." Sorn said, disappointed. "I'll go back to my studies. Help yourself with anything if you're hungry or something." Mina nodded and decided to go to Sorn's room since they share it. There are only two rooms inside the unit and the other one is for Bambam. She stood infront of the body mirror and sighed. She can still remember how Jimin came to her to help her and how he fainted infront of her earlier.

She knows that she needs to thank him for what he did, but she doesn't know how. Stressed, she started undressing herself to get ready for bed. She doesn't want to go to work that night because she's still a harlot in that place. She'll have to come back tomorrow to renew her contract.

When she woke up, she saw Sorn getting dressed. It's a school uniform and seeing a uniform like that makes her reminisce the moment she ran away from her parents. If she didn't run away from them, she could've been in college now, just like Jimin, and is pursuing her dream. She could've been holding books and not the dancing pole. She suddenly felt some regret, but thinking of the fact that her parents want to marry her off to some stranger still maddens her. She hates it when her parents start controling her life instead of her. She doesn't like to be manipulated by anyone.

"Oh, you're awake now." Sorn told Mina and smiled. She placed her comb inside her bag and stood beside her bed. "Bambam is already on his work. I'll just go to school. If you'd like to go out of this unit, I'll leave the key under the flower pot." Sorn smiled and so did Mina. "We also left you some breakfast. It's on the table." Mina nodded and then Sorn said that she'll have to go or else she'll be late for class. Mina then stood up from the bed and started fixing it.

She helped herself with the food before taking a shower. While eating, she saw something on the other chair. It's a brown envelope, so she took it to peek on what's the thing inside. It's a bunch of papers containing Sorn's assignment last night, so she immediately texted Sorn to ask where she is already.

"Oh, shit. I forgot about my biology homework. Mina, can you bring it to my school?" Mina gulped her cereals before saying a yes. "Oh my god! Thank you! My biology class is at 11 AM."

"Noted. Where will I meet you?"

"Same café, I suppose?" Mina raised a brow. She remembered Jimin and Seulgi's argument in the same café that Sorn was talking about.

"It's okay if I'll just meet you at the gate." Mina suggested.

"Are you sure?" Mina hummed a yes. "Then I'll just meet you at the gate by 10:50 AM." Mina just said a yes and then hung up. She looked at the wall clock to see what time is it. To her surprise, it's already 10:10 AM and she needs to rush in order to avoid traffic. She took her bowl to the sink and washed it in just 10 seconds. She hurried towards the bathroom and started bathing. She could've just washed her hair, but she wants to take a bath. She didn't even stay at the bathroom for that long. It approximately took her 10 minutes, all washed and dressed. She took the envelope and took the keys under the flower pot to lock the gate.

With everything in the house settled, she rushed towards downstairs to catch whichever bus there is, but someone stopped infront of her. "Hurrying?" Jimin asked her while riding on Taemin's scooter. Mina just looked at him and gulped because she didn't expect to have been approached by him. "C'mon, ride on."

"N-No thanks." Mina said and continued running, but she felt too sweaty already and had a hard time breathing. Jimin followed her and offered the back seat for her again, but she really didn't want to get on.

"It's already 10:30 AM, Mina." Mina looked at her wrist watch. She can't make it if she'll wait for a bus for a few minutes and walk from the bus stop to the school itself. She knew that she has to ride behind Jimin's back and trust him that she'll be there before 10:50 AM. She sighed and had no choice but to ride. She put on the helmet and held Jimin's uniform. As much as possible, she's trying not to touch his skin because it just scares her.

"Are you sure you're going to cling on my uniform?" Jimin asked and started driving.

"J-Just don't mind me and get me to Mnet U. right away." She said and looked away because she feels like Jimin is looking at her whenever she looks at his back. Once Jimin rushed, he tried his best not to let them get into an accident even though he's kind of overspeeding.

They arrived at the school at 10:45 AM. Jimin parked the scooter beside and asked Mina if she'll enter the university, but she shook her head no. She's asking inside her head why is he such a nice kid towards her today. They used to be a cat and a dog, but that changed too quickly.

"Are you sure?" Mina nodded and so Jimin smiled and waved his hand good bye. "See you when I see you." She didn't reply because she saw Sorn walking towards the gate to meet her already. Sorn was actually watching them have a conversation before walking towards Mina. Mina greeted Sorn good morning before giving her the file that she needed.

"Thanks a lot, Mina! You're my hero!" Sorn hugged Mina ever so tightly and smiled. "Want to grab something in our café?"

"No thanks." She giggled and saw the students passing by the gate when she saw someone very familiar in her eyes passing through. She looked decent and she never seemed like a callgirl at night. Her eyebrows just furrowed when she saw the girl.

"Someone you know?" Sorn must've noticed that Mina has been eyeing on the girl.

"Somehow." She answered and just shrugged her shoulders. "It's 10 minutes before you class. You should go there now." Sorn said her see you and then rushed towards her biology class. Mina is still in her shocked state when she saw Sana earlier.

She had her brown hair ponytailed. Her make up is almost natural and she carried a handful of books and a bag. Mina wondered if Sana really is a student. She's just too surprised to see a prostitute like her going at a school in the morning. It suddenly felt weird for her all of a sudden.

She stayed there for a few minutes thinking why when she heard her name being said. She looked around and there she saw her father, so she ran away from the university and hid, so that he wouldn't see her. Her heartbeat is as fast as the drumming of an instrument. It just scared her out of the blue. She doesn't want to be seen by her parents.
