Kimbap
“Jinu…”
“No.”
“Jinu, please…”
“No.”
“Come on, man…”
“Yeah, for real… Like… at least tell us…”
“Can she?”
“Please?”
“No.”
“Come on, even I think I’m curious and I swore off that shit years ago.”
“Jinu please.”
“Fuck off.”
“Pleaseeeee?”
The Saja Boys were all staring at Jinu. He bared his fangs and let his faded patterns flash.
“Not a chance.”
They slumped and turned away, resuming watching the spectacle before them.
“At least tell us, can she?” Romance pleaded again.
Jinu sighed.
“I don’t know.”
Collectively, four jaws dropped.
“You don’t know?!”
“How?!”
“We haven’t done that yet.” He growled out.
“But I mean… seeing that…”
“Yeah, I have eyes. That image is probably going to be ingrained on my brain forever.” Jinu closed his eyes and grit his teeth.
“Not the only one.” Abby groaned. Jinu whacked him in his abdomen. “Ooof! Hey, not the abs!”
“Stop picturing my girlfriend doing that to you!”
“Kind of hard not to after that display!”
“Yeah, even I’m imagining it. Might be enough to rouse me from my no sex rules.” Baby laughed. Jinu practically launched at him. Abby and Romance held him back as Mystery tugged Baby out of reach.
“I think the bottom line is, Jinu… It’s difficult not to be a little curious after seeing what was basically a borderline pornographic display from Rumi.” Mystery tried to explain delicately. It did not improve Jinu’s mood.
“Yeah…” Romance grunted, trying to pull Jinu back still. “And the fact even you don’t know if she can… well… the imagination can run wild…”
“You’re gonna find out though right?” Abby asked.
“Of course I want to find out!”
“Can I watch?”
“If Abby is watching, I want to watch!”
“We should all watch! For science.” Baby added.
“NO! No one is going to watch, if we even do it! I don’t need you all staring and then picturing that any time you see her!”
“I mean, I’ve seen it before, just not with Rumi.” Abby pointed out.
“Yeah, we’ve all seen each other doing things, done it to each other… This is no different…” Romance tried.
Jinu twisted and attempted to attack Romance – Abby had to practically envelop him in a bear hug to restrain him.
“This is different! And you will not ‘observe’!” Jinu snapped.
“You have to at least tell us if she can do it though…” Romance pleaded.
“Yeah… I mean… we’ve seen you… we need to know…” Abby was still pinning Jinu to his chest in an effort to prevent him attacking.
“I’m not going to tell you!”
There was a pouring of outcry from all four Saja boys.
“Baby… Mystery…?! Even you two?!”
Baby shrugged.
“For science. And my own curiosity. What we just witnessed was not natural.”
Mystery’s cheeks tinged slightly pink but he nodded too.
“Sorry, Jinu. I think we all need to know if she can.”
“If who can what?” The boys all yelped as Mira stood in front of them, one hand on her hip, the other holding out a plate of food.
The boys quickly arranged themselves back to a vision of normality – with the exception of their weird smiles and wide eyes at having been caught.
Mira just cocked an eyebrow.
“What the hell is up with you lot?”
“Nothing!” Jinu spluttered.
“Yeah, everything is totally normal!” Romance chimed in.
“Why would you think anything was up?” Abby added.
Even Baby rolled his eyes. They all looked awkward and guilty. Even Myst and you couldn’t even see his face.
“You’re all being weird and smiling unnaturally and you were just fighting on the couch.”
Once again, there was a lot of spluttering and huffing and trying (and failing) to act casual. Mira clearly wasn’t buying it.
“Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you all?”
Cue even more spluttering.
“Hey, are you gonna eat that?”
Five pairs of eyes flicked to the new voice.
Rumi was standing beside Mira and pointing at a kimbap roll on a plate in front of them.
For a moment they all just stared, dumbfounded and making an ‘err’ noise. Abby was quickest to snap out of it.
“No… you have it… I’m good.” He picked up the plate and offered it to her with a smile.
“Thanks!” Rumi beamed, taking the offered kimbap from the dish and proceeding to eat the thing whole, swallowing it without hesitation or gagging.
All five Sajas watched with open mouths and wide eyes - slightly strangled moans escaping their throats. Mira’s eyes snapped to them and narrowed.
Busted.
“Seriously?” Was all she said, looking at each of them with judgement. Only Mystery, Romance and Jinu looked sheepish. Baby just shrugged along with Abby. “Really, even you, Baby?”
“What can I say?” He held up a hand. “I’m still a human, partly… and still male… with a pulse… and a dick that works.”
“You’re ace.” Mira pointed out.
“Myst made me revert briefly once. Curiosity is a human trait - I’m curious. Sue me.”
Mira dragged a hand down her face with a groan.
“You all disgust me.”
“Why do they disgust you? What are you talking about?” Rumi asked.
“Trust me, you don’t want to know.” Mira had her eyes locked on Abby who didn’t even flinch, just leaned back with a shrug and crossed his legs with a grin.
Baby couldn’t help but stir the pot.
“Looks like you really enjoyed Abby’s kimbap, Rumi.”
Jinu’s eyes flashed gold.
“Errr yeah… I love kimbap.”
“We could tell. Really ate the whole thing. Barely slowed to taste it.” Baby knew he was being a little shit. He wasn’t sure which reactions were most amusing – Romance and Myst blushing pink; Jinu glaring at him; Abby’s cocky grin; or Mira’s death glare.
“Well… I was hungry…” Rumi looked a little sheepish herself, rubbing the back of her neck.
“Oh, don’t be embarrassed. It was impressive.” Abby complimented. “Wish I could devour and swallow that easy.”
“I do most the swallowing!” Romance shot at him. “But please, feel free to try!”
“Wish you could swallow like that.” Abby’s expression became even more wicked. Mira’s grew even darker. Baby stifled a snigger.
“You sick fucks.” Mira spat – mostly at Abby. He offered her a signature cocky grin.
“You wanna have a go at swallowing my kimbap gongjunim?” he winked.
Mira’s face burned pink and her lips pursed.
“Rumi just ate your kimbap, so how can Mira?” Zoey piped up, coming over to see what the fuss was about.
Romance, Baby, Abby and Mystery stifled sniggers; a vein looked ready to burst in Jinu’s head and Mira glared more.
“Oh, I’m sure Abby has a kimbap specially for Mira.” Baby snorted. “Though I don’t think he’d be opposed to letting Rumi swallow that one either.”
He received a punch from Jinu to the gut and a pillow to the face from Mira. Worth it.
“What?” he spluttered. “We’re all very impressed by how she can swallow it whole, without gagging!”
“Oh yeah, Rumi is great at that!” Zoey exclaimed. “She just swallows it like it’s nothing!”
The boys all choked on air and tried to mask their amusement.
“Doesn’t faze her if it’s a long roll or a thick one!” Zoey continued brightly. “She’ll take the whole thing either way!”
They were all grabbing pillows to smother their laughter or clapping hands to their mouths. Zoey seemed oblivious to quite what she was implying. Or what they were thinking.
“Stop talking, Zoey.” Mira snapped – not at all oblivious and not at all amused.
“What? I’m just saying, Rumi loves kimbap and she can swallow the entire roll! They’ve seen her do it! We’ve seen her do it on numerous occasions! They’re right, it is impressive! I couldn’t do that!”
It was too funny. Baby thought he might burst from trying to hold back his laughter.
“Awww too bad Myst. You’ve lucked out.” He chuckled out.
“Damn, Jinu really does get all the luck.” Mystery joked back.
Zoey just looked bamboozled. Like she really couldn’t fathom what they were really getting at. Even Rumi looked somewhat perplexed.
“Anyone else got a kimbap to offer to Rumi?” Baby snorted.
“No one is offering Rumi their ‘kimbap’!” Jinu snarled.
“Why not? I love kimbap.” Rumi asked with a pout. Oh, it was too much. He was going to bust a rib.
“You heard her, Jinu. She loves kimbap. She wants more. Guess yours alone isn’t enough.”
“I haven’t had Jinu’s kimbap.” Rumi said, looking confused again. “Just Abby’s.”
He was going to die.
The others looked like they might die too.
“Jinu come on man, step up.” Abby breathed out between bouts of laughter. “I gave her my kimbap!”
“Yeah, Jinu! Give her your kimbap!” Romance laughed.
Rumi turned to look at Mira.
“Are we still talking about kimbap?”
“They were never talking about kimbap.” Mira said, glowering. Rumi frowned for a moment; brows furrowed as she considered the implications.
“Oh gross!” she exclaimed suddenly, and the boys (minus Jinu) fell about laughing.
It was worth the assault with pillows and Jinu’s death glares.

It was late and Baby was snack-y. He’d gone to the fridge in search of goodies and bumped into Abby who was grinning like a damned fool but covered in scratch marks. Baby decided he didn’t want to know. Jinu appeared moments later with a strange look on his face.
Abby held out the milk carton and Jinu accepted it gratefully. Baby added a bottle of hot sauce to his growing pile.
“So…” Abby dragged out the word, leaning on the counter. “Can she?”
Baby froze at the fridge door and glanced at Jinu.
Setting down the carton, Jinu looked up with a cocky smug grin.
“Yeah. Yeah, she can.”
Abby whistled appreciatively and bumped fists with Jinu, even Baby had to offer him one.
“And for the record… sharing is still off the table?” Abby enquired playfully.
Jinu hit him in the abs again.
“Absolutely off the table.”
Baby rolled his eyes.
