Broken But Beautiful

13. HELPLESSNESS

Jennie told Mr Lee to drop her at the street only. She was near the Cafe she used to work before.

"But ma'am , Miss Kim told me to drop you home safely" Mr Lee said.

"It's okay ahjussi. I live nearby only so I can walk." Jennie lied , she was nowhere near to her home but to the café. 

"Okay ma'am."

"Thankyou Ajhussi. Take care" Jennie said as she stepped out of the car.

After walking for 15 minutes , here was Jennie standing outside the café she used to work before , thinking if she should work here or not .She was scared if the dream she had of her parents finding her and selling off to some man. But she didn't had any choice so she entered the café. 

Jennie entered her boss's office. Her boss name was Park Chaeyoung but everyone called her Rosè. She is a very good human being, cute and humble ,a professional barista and the owner of this café. 

She greeted her and Rosè just stared at her.

"Who are you? " Rosè joked seeing Jennie in unfamiliar clothes ,she hasn't seen Jennie wearing formal ever.

"Wae? What's wrong , I am Jennie"  

"Haha I was just kidding but what's with these clothes Jennie? You look like a business women"

"Ahh these... just leave it and actually I was here to ask for a favor.."

"What's it Jennie and why didn't you came to work yesterday?" 

"Bos-"

"Jen , how many times I have told you to call me by my name " Chae cut her off

"Okay Chae, actually long short story I left my parents and I want to start a new life so can you please give me a job in your café again so that I can earn a living and be independent " Jennie rapped.

"Gosh Jen , take a breath and when did I told you that you are not working here anymore" Rosè said smiling.

"T-thankyou Rosè thankyou so so much"

"Gwenchana so let's get back to work"

Jennie was about to exit the office but stopped when Rosè gasped.

She turned back and saw Rosè's hand on her both cheeks and her mouth wide open as she screamed, "Gosh Jen!! What brand are you wearing !? I-Is it D-Dior!?!??!?"

"Ah um I guess" 

"You fucking guess?! Tell me truly Jennie , where were you yesterday!? Have you started as a drug dealer or something!?"

"Yah! Park Chaeyoung"

"O-okay I was just kidding but seriously Jennie you can buy yourself a rent for an apartment for about 2 months if you sell these clothes" Rosè exclaimed 

"Hmm" Jennie just hummed she was lost in her own thoughts as the clothes somehow reminded her of Jisoo. She thought about Rosè's idea and just nodded her head.

Should I sell these clothes?

But these clothes are the only thing that connects me to Jisoo

But I have no choice I have to find a place to live in..I am feeling helpless!

These thoughts kept running in her mind.

"And Jennie some customer left this letter for you" Rosè said handling her an envelope.

The Red Envelope

Jennie had sweat running on her forehead , she felt fear for the first time as she has noone to protect her now.She took the letter with trembling hands. 

"T-Thankyou" Rosè made an ok sign and moved to meet the customers entering the café.

She didn't wanted to open the letter and read any shit written inside but she had to.

'YOU ARE ALL ALONE NOW ' was written inside.

Jennie felt her hands getting sweaty. Whoever it was the person was literally stalking her. The said person knew that she left her so-called parents house and now she doesn't have anyone who ever she can rely on. She doesn't have a house to live in , her mind was struggling with many thoughts. These threats were just adding to her stressed life.

Keeping the letter safely she just started with her job in the café. She wanted to collect enough proof about this person , if she ever decides to report all this to the police.

It was already 7 PM and Jennie decided to head to her apartment.

Yes, Jennie rented an apartment with the money she got by selling some things.

A/N - So did Jennie really sell off Jisoo's clothes?
