The Warmhearted You || Chaennie

Ch.19-Okay

Jennie smiled: "How are you doing?"

"Same old, same old. Still trying to quit smoking," Jisoo said, shaking her empty cigarette box. She still kept the box to remind herself to stop. "It's not fun..."

"I had decided to quit smoking on impulse, but how can it be that easy? It's tough to give something up once you're addicted to it. This addiction is annoying, too, making me feel so tired every time I can't satisfy my craving."

Jennie handed her a piece of chewing gum, "Persevere, you'll get through it."

Jisoo didn't reply and chewed gum.

The two girls decided to eat first before dropping Jennie of her building.

As the the two were sitting in a western restaurant waiting for their food. The restaurant lights were dim. Jennie scrolled through her phone and asked casually, "What has Yeri been up to recently?"

"She is preparing for the graduate school entrance examination," Jisoo replied, "She has a school she wants to go to, bought the materials, and have begun studying."

Jennie froze and stared at her.

Jisoo also said, "Students these days have everything planned out. When I was their age, I was too lazy to study and made up for that mistake later by suffering in the workplace." she paused, squeezing the edge of the cigarette case. "I heard from Yeri that Roseanne would most likely continue and become a graduate student at Yonsei University. What will you do then?"

Jennie didn't think about this problem because it depends on Roseanne's decision. After all, going abroad to study wasn't uncommon nowadays.

"Whether she chooses to prepare for the postgraduate examination or go abroad will be up to her." She replied.

"I don't think she'll go abroad. Most students who plan to go abroad would've left two to three years ago. Our domestic education is not worse than those foreign countries. Yonsei University is a good school, they rank among the best in the world for mechanical engineering majors. Moreover, you don't need to rely on a professional degree to support your relationship." Jisoo analyzed, and then, feeling that they had strayed from the initial conversation and so changed the subject, "How was the shop's profit last year?"

Jennie held up four fingers, "Monthly average."

"You are one rich lady..." Jisoo tutted.

"Ready to buy a house in April."

"Work hard so I can hug your big thigh later!*."

Jennie couldn't help but laugh, "Okay."

On the tenth day, Roseanne returned to Gwangju, and Jennie went to Incheon airport to pick her up. Roseanne was dressed elegantly, her long legs and height made her even more attractive despite the almost shoulder-length short hair that was tied up half-heartedly. In her right hand, she held a suitcase, and in the left, she held a bouquet of roses. When she walked out and saw Jennie, she hugged her fiercely.

There were lots of people passing by, and they glanced curiously at the two.

Jennie patted her back, "Alright, let's go back."

She felt a bit embarrassed because, after all, they were still in the middle of a crowded, open space. Roseanne hummed in agreement, lifted her hands, and straightened, her lips lightly brushing Jennie's cheeks.

Jennie noticed, looked up at her, and grabbed the roses as Roseanne very naturally, grabbed her hand.

After dinner, Jennie actively asked Roseanne to stay for the night.

Roseanne saw that Jennie was reading an article on furniture decoration, and asked while moving the pillow, "Which ones are you going to buy?"

Jennie put down her phone and lifted her waist in response, "Still looking."

"I'm going back to Busan next year," Roseanne pulled down her trousers and leaned down to kiss her soft lips, "I'm going there for graduate school."

The warm and numbing touch made Jennie feel satisfied but also a little bit empty. She grabbed Roseanne's shoulder and kissed back.

After a while, Roseanne pinned her to the bed.

"Make sure to study diligently," she lowered her neck slightly and grasped the pillow. "Later, when ... I'll have time ...I'll~... come visit you ..."

Roseanne pressed against her back, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "Okay..."
