Fifteen : Plans for Tomorrow
Kim So Ra POV
After Namjoon left, I sat behind my desk while opening my cellphone screen. There are 4 incoming messages and 10 missed calls from Sunmi. I smiled and began reading the messages one by one.
The first message,
"Sora ... what are you doing?"
The second message,
"I went to Minerva but you were not there, Jun Su said you went with a man, who was he?"
The third message,
"Hey Sora! Why aren't you replying to my message? Are you go on a date ??"
Fourth message,
"Aigoo Kim So Ra ssi ... I'm really upset right now. Why you didn't answer my phone???"
I laughed at the messages. I did not open my cellphone while in the art gallery. I really enjoyed my visit earlier. Being able to talk, discuss and exchange information with RM are amazing . I started typing a reply message to Sunmi.
"Sorry Sun Mi ... I didn't know that you sent messages and called me. I didn't go on a date. I just had lunch and went to visit the art gallery with Namjoon", I wrote
I already told Sunmi about RM's arrival in Minerva some time ago. Sunmi shouted hysterically knowing we exchanged cellphone numbers. She repeatedly said how lucky I was, when I told her that RM and I often sent messages. I do feel very lucky to be close to my idol. I can chat with him like talking with friends. RM is indeed a very pleasant man. I can talk about everything with him. I never felt bored chatting with him.

"What ??? Are you serious???", the message from Sunmi
"Yes. We went to the art gallery together with my car because he couldn't drive, hehe. Tomorrow we will go to another museum," I wrote again
This time it was not the message I received. But Sunmi called me right away.
"Yeoboseyo, Sunmi?", I replied
"Yaaaa (hey) Kim Sora! Are you kidding? Are you really went to a museum with RM? Just the two of you ?? omoooo !!! daebak ya !! daebak !!", she said across the phone
"Sunmi! Control yourself, don't shout like that", I said
"Sora, where are you? I'm going to your place! I want to hear the whole story", she said excitedly
"I'm getting ready to go back to the apartment, I'm so hungry, I want to eat ramen when I get home," I said as I took my bag
"Okay! We will meet in 30 minutes at your apartment! I will also leave now. We will talk while eating ramen together, okay ?!"
"Ne..", I replied
I hung up my phone and went up to the first floor. Like other nights, Minerva is very crowded. I see many people who come to spend time with friends after work. I walked through the full reading area and approached Aeri who was at the reception desk.
"Aeri ssi, I'll go home first," I said
"Omoo ...Eonnie ... is RM still in your office? Can I meet him?", she asked hopefully
"Ani, he already went home", I said
"Aaa, Eonnie, why didn't you tell me when he was going to leave?", pouting Aeri
"He's my guest so I don't want you to bother him with such childish behavior," I replied
Aeri wrinkled her face wryly. Song Aeri is a manager at Minerva, two years younger than me. She is a diligent and cheerful manager. Many visitors like her because she can easily get along with the people she meets.
"Do you have a special relationship with him, Eonnie ?", She asked sullenly
"Huh? What are you talking about? we don't have any relationship", I said again
"I really like him. RM is my bias. Can you help me, Eonnie ? If he comes to Minerva again, can I take a picture with him?", Aeri asked with eyes begging
"I don't know...I'll try to talk to him about it, ok", I replied. "Alright, I'll go home now. Please take care of Minerva," I said, patting her shoulder and leaving.
"Ne ... be careful on your way", said Aeri waving her hand
On the way home, I can still smell RM's perfume in my car. Masculine fragrance, like a mixture of musk and peppermint. I arrived at my apartment within 10 minutes. I opened the door and headed straight for the bathroom. After bathing and getting my pajamas, I headed to the kitchen to cook some ramens.
* dingdong
The bell of my apartment rang, I saw on the intercom screen, there was Sunmi's face smiling at my door. I hurried to open the door and let her in.
"Sora !! I'm driving at full speed to be able to see you soon," said Sunmi hugging me with a big smile
"Aigoo Sunmi," I said, shaking my head
"Did you cook the ramen? I'm so hungry," said Sunmi, putting her bag on the dining table
"Yes, I'm cooking it," I said, standing back in front of the stove
"So Kim Sora ssi, what are you doing today? I want to hear the story in detail," said Sunmi, opening the refrigerator and taking out 2 cans of juice
"I told you earlier, Namjoon came to Minerva this afternoon, then we had lunch together in Little Seoul. Then suddenly he asked me to go to the art gallery, he said it would be boring to go to the gallery alone," I said imitating what RM tell me earlier
"Waaaah daebak huh! Lunch with him!? Omooo! I'm so jealous of you," said Sunmi with a sad face
"Why should you be jealous? Isn't Kim Seok Jin your bias?", I asked, bringing the ramen pot to the dining table
"It doesn't matter to me, I like all of them. I will be very happy as long as I can have lunch with one of BTS members," she said smiling while imagining it
"Unbelievable...", I said laughing at her
"Where are you going tomorrow?", Asked Sunmi while sipping ramen noodles
"Tomorrow, we will go to the K-Pop museum," I said after swallowing my ramen
"Wow! I really envy you Sora! Daebak yaa!", Exclaimed Sunmi looked at me in disbelief
"It turned out to be very nice to visit art galleries. I've lived in Seoul for 5 years, but I've never visited an art museum or gallery," I said again, drinking my juice
"That's because you went with RM, so it's very fun," said Sunmi teasing me
"Haha ani yo! Even though I'm not with RM, I will definitely enjoy it too," I said laughing
"You have to look beautiful tomorrow. I will help you dress up!", Said Sunmi leaning toward me
"Uh? No! I'm not going to go on a date Sunmi," I said, widened my eyes
"Even though it's not a date, you have to look beautiful Sora. Who knows, RM will fall in love with you," she said, winking
"You are really unbelievable..", I said, laughing out loud. " How could someone like Namjoon likes me ?! Who am I?", I said still laughing
"Aiish, you never know what will happen!", Sunmi answered, annoyed to see me laughing. "Anyway, I want to hear your story tomorrow! Don't forget to tell me, okay?!", Sunmi insisted
"Yes, yes ... I will tell you all my activities tomorrow," I said impatiently. "Btw, How is your shop Sunmi?" I asked, changing the subject
"So far it has been very good. We have received orders from all over Korea. I even had to hire part time workers in my shop," Sunmi said enthusiastically
"Wow, Daebak! You are amazing, Sunmi," I said proudly
We continued to have dinner while exchanging news about Minerva and Sunnie (the name of Sunmi's fashion brand). Sunmi spent almost 2 hours in my apartment. At 9 pm Sunmi finally returned to her apartment. I was tidying up my living room when I heard my cellphone ringing.
"Yeoboseyo Kim Sora ssi", Namjoon's voice was heard from across the phone
"Yeoboseyo oppa", I replied
"Are you home? Have you had dinner yet?", He asked
"Ne, how about you?", I asked
"Ne, I also had dinner. I had dinner with Bibimbap bulgogi. But now I regret it , because my stomach is really full", he answered laughing
"Wow, that sounds really good, "I say laughing too
"By the way, what time will we meet tomorrow?", He asked again
"Mmm... I can go anytime," I replied
"Arasso, what if we meet at 9 am in the museum directly? It's a bit difficult to go together because I don't know your house", said RM nervously
"Gwaenchana, you don't need to bother coming to pick me up. It will be easier if we meet directly there," I replied while sitting in front of the tv
"Okay! See you tomorrow then", said RM happily
"Nee ... see you tomorrow oppa", I said smiling
After hanging up, I went to my room. I feel my heart pounding imagining what we are going to do tomorrow. I smiled at the ceiling of my room while remembering the face of Namjoon. His dimple is very charming and dangerous. Makes me unable to stop thinking about him.
