Jimin walked in late that Sunday night. He looked worn out and still struggling from a hangover, but he brightened up when he saw Jennie. He smiled and dropped his bags in the doorway to give her a hug which she stood stiffly in.
"I've missed you," he muttered into her ear.
"Same," she replied mechanically, she couldn't help but imagine his large and muscly body was Roseanne's. She felt horrible about it, but it just happened without her having any say about it.
Jimin let her go and looked down at her, he noticed she was acting weirdly. "Everything ok?"
Jennie nodded and headed back into the kitchen. "Yeah, just a big night."
Jimin laughed. "God, I completely understand. How'd yours go?"
"It was... interesting."
"Mine was absolutely wild, I don't think I've ever drank as much as I did last night. The boys brought the whole bottle shop out of beer, that's how much there was."
"Wow," Jennie said, she could hear how uninterested she sounded. "Sorry, I'm really tired." And she felt so guilty that she felt sick.
She felt guilty that she wished she was in Roseanne's apartment on the couch watching some rubbish movie while making out. She felt guilty that even the sound of Jimin's' voice was setting her on edge and she felt disgusted that tonight she'd probably have to just grit her teeth and have sex with him. It would be so unwelcome after she could still feel Roseanne's mouth all over her body, at least when the affair was over she'd slowly forgotten how good being in bed with Roseanne was, but now she'd relearnt it.
Jimin smiled at her again, she felt herself soften because really she was just tired and confused and it was magnifying her unreasonable anger at him. He went over to the couch and fell into it, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Hey, Mum rang me and told me that Roseanne was going to the bachelorette party, how was that?"
Jennie felt her heart speed up, she shrugged and started wiping the bench to seem unfazed. "Fine, she was wrapped up in Nayeon all night."
"Really?" Jimin asked amused, secretly he was glad because he didn't want Roseanne going anywhere near Jennie.
"Yeah," Jennie said and laughed. "I even think they went home together, I don't know, I left before everyone because I was so drunk."
"That's my girl," Jimin muttered before closing his eyes and having a nap on the couch.
Jennie walked into the work the next morning preparing questions that she would ask Nayeon to make it seem like she thought that her and Roseanne went home together. She was staring at the ground as she approached the building and when she glanced up, she was surprised to see Roseanne standing in front of the door, she slowed down to a stop. Roseanne held her hand up to wave a greeting and smiled at Jennie. Jennie shook her head at her fondly and smiled before nodding to a cafe across the road and crossing to it.
Roseanne walked into the warm cafe just seconds after Jennie and sat down in the seat opposite her. She smiled at Jennie who was pink in the cheeks not only from the cold but from seeing Roseanne when she was least expecting it.
"What are you doing here?" Jennie asked politely.
"Thought I'd come and see you before work," Roseanne said cheekily.
"That's nice of you."
They smiled at each other, they were in on a secret that no one in the cafe knew, not even the person who'd just walked in... Nayeon? Nayeon smiled when she saw Jennie.
