    Summary

    "what are you doing?" minjeong asked quietly.

    "helping chobap?"

    "you don't even like dogs. you said adopting him would be a waste of time and a burden to all of us."

    "i was wrong—" jimin flinched, tripping over her words. "i didn't mean to."

    "you were very clear about it actually." minjeong's arms were still crossed. "no, you don't get to do this. swoop in and play hero now that it's convenient."

    jimin shifted the medication bag in her hands. "but no one else can. so i'm the only choice, aren't i?"

    ---

    jimin and minjeong co-parenting a dying dog together except chobap the said dog seems to have completely missed the memo where they broke up messily a year ago and is currently having the time of his life now that his divorced parents are living together again.

    Summary

    "she probably doesn’t even remember my name." jimin rambled on. "i guarantee you, the last time we properly talked was when we were fourteen. she’s definitely forgotten who i am—"

    "hi jimin!"

    the voice cut through the winter air. minjeong waved from across the court, with that same soft smile from last night on her face.

    "um," jimin said eloquently. she raised a hand in a weak wave. "hi. minjeong. hey."

    god, could she sound any more awkward?

    ---

    jimin had one decade-long childhood crush, two too many drinks, and zero memory of christmas eve.

    Summary

    Jimin and Minjeong have never been the closest duo in the band. In fact, they get into the stupidest fights a little too often; the smallest, most insignificant things lead to huge arguments and derail the entirety of practice for the day.
    So when their manager calls a meeting for just the two of them, and tells them not to tell Aeri and Yizhuo about it, they think it’s very strange.
    Even stranger when said manager tells them they need to have sex. With each other. On camera.

    or: amidst a particularly hard period of aespa's career, drummer Yu Jimin and guitarist Kim Minjeong are asked to perform a PR stunt by filming—and fake-leaking—a sex tape in order to save the band from disbandment.

    (inspired by a prompt by vertebraespa on twitter)

    Summary

    “I’m already with someone.”

    Jack goes still. “Who?”

    A very fair question. A very unfortunate one.

    Minjeong’s brain blanks, and before she can stop herself, she turns and points.

    Directly at Jimin.

    “I’m with her.”

    Jimin does not react. She is still eating her burger.

    The girl across from her, however, turns immediately. “Do you know her?” she asks, sharp.

    Jimin glances up, mildly confused, then shrugs. “Yes.”

    Which is technically true.

    It is also the worst possible answer.

    Or Minjeong needed an out, Jimin needed saving, and now neither of them can get out of it without losing.

    Summary

    oh.

    jimin is waiting for minjeong to cuddle into her chest, to hide her face in the sanctuary of jimin’s neck, to slide their bodies so close together it’s impossible to tell where one of them ends and the other begins.

    which could mean nothing.

    minjeong and jimin have known each other for almost nine years, and minjeong can't pinpoint a time when she wasn't in love with jimin.
