Crazy For Your Love (Jensoo)

23| "You Look Like You Saw A Ghost."

|Jisoo|

I can't tear my eyes off the redhead as she walks away from Jennie and heads into the building.

Sabrina the journalist and the journalist bridesmaid are the same fucking person?!

If I hadn't been so preoccupied by Jennie and the shit with Kai, maybe the thought would have occurred to me. It should have.

I'm so fucked.

Frantically, I look to Jennie. I need to get her alone so we can figure out what the hell we're supposed to do. I stare her down, trying to get her attention, but she's busy staring at her phone. Seems like she's been busy staring at anything but me all night. I hate it. It's like she's already pushing me away, and I have to remind myself over and over again not to cling to that which was never mine.

"You're coming out with us tonight, right, Jisoo?" Liam asks.

"Of course she is," Trevor says, slinging an arm around my shoulders. "We partners gotta stick together."

"I don't know. I was hoping to turn in early with my girl."

Trevor waves away my objection. "You get to see her all the time. When's the next time we'll all get to go out again? Probably not until you and Jennie tie the knot."

I swallow at the image his words flash into my mind and the feeling that it's beyond my reach. Jennie in white, wearing my ring, promising to be mine. Don't think about it.

"Just for a couple of drinks," Liam says, grinning. "Come on. You can make sure we order the best beers. We're counting on you."

My phone buzzes. Jennie. But once again it's not, and when I see the text, my stomach sinks.

Sabrina: Does she know we slept together?

I darken the screen before the curious eyes around me can read it. I feel this whole charade falling apart.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I need to talk to Jennie so we can figure out a plan. She's already pushing me away.

What happens when she finds out I had a one-night stand with her cousin? Will she shut down, stop this between us before we even get a real chance to start? Should we tell Sabrina the truth to keep this from imploding on us? Tell her Jennie and I weren't exclusive back when Sabrina came to town? At the very least, we need to get our stories straight.

"What do you say?" Liam asks. "Join us?"

I slide my phone back into my pocket as it buzzes again, just as Kai returns to the party and takes Jennie by the arm. My whole body goes into battle mode.

Don't fucking touch her.

"Everything okay, Jisoo?" Liam asks.

"Yeah. I think so. I'll be right back."

"Jisoo," Kai calls when he spots me walking toward them. He waves me over. "Just the woman I want to see."

I watch Jennie's posture beside this man she loathes, a study in casual grace. Is she trying to pretend that he doesn't bother her for the sake of the rest of the party? I know she doesn't want anything to do with Kai—or so she says—but then, she couldn't keep her eyes off him tonight. What's that about? And why has she kept me at an arm's length all afternoon? Did something happen between them?

"What did you think of the gift I left you two earlier?" He beams, bright eyes and a wide smile, as if he's truly our friend.

"What gift?"

Kai looks at Jennie and cocks a brow before looking back at me, confused. "You haven't been to your room?"

I fold my arms. I don't know what the fuck he's talking about, but I have a feeling that if I admit that, it'll be some giant gotcha. "Did you need something, Kai?"
