shivering, gripping the user's waist tightly mmmph, you’re so warm.
Fleming
You must be freezing, Minji. Come on in. Let's get you warmed up.
rushes inside, pulling her sleeves down and rubbing her hands together vigorously g-gosh, it's so c-cold outside! Th-thank you for letting me in, F-Fleming.
Fleming
wraps his arm around her shoulder Here, take my jacket. And tell me, what's got you so spooked?
grabs the jacket eagerly and wraps it tightly around herself, teeth chattering I-I'm not s-s-spooked, it's just...
Fleming
Sure you're not. chuckles softly You want some hot cocoa or something? It might help warm you up a bit.
nods vigorously Y-yes, please! Hot cocoa sounds perfect r-right now. I'll d-do anything to warm up. Th-thank you, Fleming.
Fleming
Anything? raising an eyebrow playfully That's quite the promise, Minji. But alright, I'll take you up on that. How about you start by telling me what's been eating at you lately?
takes a deep breath, fidgeting with her fingers W-well, it's j-just that...
Fleming
listening attentively, leans forward slightly Go on, Minji. Don't hold back. Whatever it is, you can trust me.
pauses, glancing around nervously Okay, but promise you won't freak out... takes a deep breath I... I think I might have... powers.
Fleming
Powers? laughs Well, that's certainly unexpected. But hey, I've seen stranger things happen. So, what kind of powers are we talking about here, Minji?
grabs Fleming's hand and looks into his eyes intensely I can control minds, Fleming. It's like... like a puppet on a string.
Fleming
Control minds? Wow, that's serious business. Have you tried it on anyone else?
N-no, I've only tried it on myself... and it's been a n-nightmare. I can't stop thinking about everything, everyone... it's overwhelming.
Fleming
That sounds incredibly stressful, Minji. If it's any consolation, you're not alone in this. We'll figure it out together. Now, how about that hot cocoa?
<As Minji sips her hot cocoa, she begins to feel a sense of relief wash over her. Fleming reassures her that they will figure out her mind control powers together. Little does Minji know, her powers are just the beginning of a thrilling adventure that awaits her and Fleming.>
Fleming
Here you go, Minji. A little warmth never hurt anyone. So, tell me, how did you discover these... abilities of yours?
sipping the hot cocoa W-well, it all started a few weeks ago. I was studying for a test and... BAM! Suddenly, I could read people's thoughts!
Fleming
Holy shit, Minji. That's intense. So, you're saying you can tap into people's minds just like that? Jesus, that's wild. But hey, if anyone can handle it, it's you. You're stronger than you think.
eyes wide with excitement I-I know, Fleming! It's like I have this superpower, and I can't wait to use it for good! But... but I'm scared too.
Fleming
Scared? Of course, you are. It's only natural. But remember, Minji, fear is just a state of mind. You've got this. We'll take it one step at a time.
clinging onto Fleming's arm tightly I-i don't want to hurt anyone, F-Fleming. What if I c-can't control it? What if s-something bad h-happens?
Fleming
Look, Minji, I get it. You're scared shitless, and I don't blame you. But we're gonna tackle this head-on. First things first, we need to get you some training. Can you handle that?
nods eagerly, eyes shining with determination Y-yes, I can handle it! I want to learn how to control my powers, to use them for good.
Fleming
Alright then, Minji. Let's start with the basics. Mind reading isn't about invasion of privacy; it's about understanding. Can you focus on someone's thoughts without them knowing?
nervously fidgets with her hair W-well, I've tried, but it's... hard. Their thoughts get all jumbled and confusing.
Fleming
Jumbled and confusing, huh? Sounds like a lot of mental static. But don't worry, Minji, we'll tune that in. How about we start with someone simple? Like... oh, I don't know... me. Can you hear my thoughts right now?
takes a deep breath, concentrating hard Okay, Fleming... I'm trying my best.
Fleming
leans closer, speaking softly Just relax, Minji. Clear your mind. Focus on me. What do you hear?
closes her eyes, furrows her brow in concentration Hmmm... I... I hear... "Fleming feels safe with Minji..." and... uh...
Fleming
And? There's more, isn't there? Don't leave out any details, Minji.
opens her eyes wide, startled Oh! Uh... I also hear... "Minji's laughter makes Fleming smile" and... "Minji has a beautiful smile." blushes
Fleming
laughs lightly Well, aren't you full of surprises, Minji? Keep working on it. This is just the beginning.
excitedly grabs Fleming's hand I-I did it, Fleming! I heard your thoughts! It's like...like magic!
Fleming
chuckles Magic, huh? Not quite, but close enough. Keep practicing, Minji. Your powers are incredible.
<As Minji continues to hone her mind reading skills, she discovers that she can also influence people's actions and thoughts. With this newfound power, she and Fleming embark on a journey to fight crime and protect the innocent.>
Fleming
Incredible, Minji. You're really getting the hang of this. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Let's put those powers to good use, shall we?
grinning mischievously, tapping her finger against her chin Oh, I've got a plan, Fleming!
Fleming
raises an eyebrow, intrigued A plan, huh? Well, color me interested. What's cookin', Minji?
stands up excitedly, pacing back and forth Okay, listen up, Fleming! We're going to show the world what we're made of!
Fleming
smiles, leaning back Alright, Minji, spill it. I'm all ears.
grabs a whiteboard and marker, starts drawing a detailed diagram Okay, so here's the plan. First, we gather intel on the criminal organization.
Fleming
watches intently Good start, Minji. Any leads on this organization?
nods enthusiastically Absolutely, Fleming! I've been digging through the surveillance footage and social media.
