Chapter 6: October Part I

"Chaeyoung's, if we're being specific, but my aunt and uncle have fled for some much needed alone time, which I don't care to think about. That leaves Chaeyoung and I in charge." She replied lazily, twirling her pen between her long fingers.

Jisoo bit her lip. "So you're using your bestowed responsibilities to...throw a rager?"

Jennie shrugged. "Nayeon wanted to. Who am I to deny her?"

Jisoo felt an unpleasant feeling bubble in the pit of her stomach. Of course Jennie doted on her.

"Well." Jisoo began, ready to deny. That turned her off completely. "I don't think our groups would get along, you're right."

Jennie leaned forward, wry smile on her lips and glint in her eyes. "Who says it's about them?"

Jisoo froze, batting her eyelashes in surprise. Did Jennie just-

"Bring whomever." Jennie shrugged as the bell rang, offering Jisoo a lazy grin (but damn if it wasn't the most beautiful thing Jisoo had ever seen). "At least...think about it."

Jennie had sauntered off before Jisoo had a chance to take another jab. Now she really did have to consider it.

Through a lot of stealthy planning on his part, June had finally set the beginnings of his plan into motion.

Jisoo had cancelled their tutoring session for the day, citing personal reasons, which had given June all the excuse he needed to call a meeting to order. With Hanbin's help, June had successfully located the lockers of all the so-called delinquents , and deposited individual notes asking them to gather at the school library after the conclusion of sixth period.

June sat, flipping through the binder he'd prepared, and watched as they trickled in, one by one.

The Bae twins arrived first, with Lisa following not long after, and then came Xiumin Kim and Sehun Oh until, finally, Chanyeol walked in, hands stuffed in his hoodie pocket, sitting next to the others. They were talking amongst themselves, and June gauged that the general mood was one of confusion, and decided to make his presence known, walking over to the table they'd all sat down at, and plopping his binder down on the table.

"You may be wondering why I've gathered you all here today," he opened dramatically, doing his best to channel his inner Jennie.

"Who's the kid?" he heard Lisa ask, and Irene piped up a moment later.

"That's June Kim."

"As in the commander's little brother?"

"That would be the one."

He cleared his throat, shooting a little glare in their direction, to which Lisa answered with a wide grin.

"Anyways, as I was saying," June continued, "you are all here today to help with a plan that I have conceived, and will show to you with the help of my lovely assistant, Hanbin." On cue, Hanbin approached, rolling along with him a borrowed giant whiteboard. June quickly rifled through his binder, and pulled out several packets, and Hanbin handed one to each delinquent.

"Exhibit A," as he spoke, June quickly pulled a picture of Jisoo from his binder and taped it to the whiteboard on the left side, "exhibit B," here, he placed a picture of Jennie on the opposite end of the board, and quickly drew a blue line between the two of them, and wrote, in big, block letters OPERATION JENSOO above the line.

"I like this kid already," Lisa grinned, flipping through the offered packet, which was a detailed task analysis and timeline for June's master plan.
