♫ Music Playing: We're Already by KIMMUSEUM
"Congratulations! You're officially dating!" Rosie greeted Jennie as she walked with her to the cafeteria.
"Thank you, Rosie!" Jennie gave Rosie a half smile as she gave her a side-eye.
"I'll be eating with Liam and his friends. Sorry, I can't join you with Kai." Rosie said as they walked downstairs.
"It's fine, babe. Where are they?" Jennie asked for Liam's table.
"Over there." Rosie pointed to the table with her finger, "Uhm- we have other companies."
Jennie looks where Rosie is pointing her finger at. She recognized the girl who was sitting beside Jisoo.
"Why is she joining them? What did I miss?" Jennie asked raising her eyebrows and looking at Rosie.
"They didn't clear the gossip if they were dating or your BFF is courting her. They let the gossip get bigger as if it's not a big deal." Rosie shrugged looking at Jisoo and Soojoo talking to each other.
Jennie furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at her best friend who was busy talking with the girl from Busan. She makes her eyes smaller to read the movement of their lips as they talk to each other.
"Do you want to join us?" Rosie asked looking at Jennie with concern, "You look like you're interested in their topic."
Jennie looks at Rosie, "Should I?"
"I don't know. Your boyfriend is waiting for you." Rosie nods her head to Kai's direction who is watching and waiting for her to go to his table.
"Just let me know later what's going on. Jisoo told me it's nothing I supposed it's more than nothing." Jennie said as she walked away walking to Kai's table with some football team and some of Jennie's cheerleader members.
"Hey, babe!" Kai greeted Jennie as soon as she arrived, "Take a seat here." He gave Jennie the spare seat beside him.
Jennie took a seat and Kai kissed her on the lips as soon as she sat down. She was surprised but let him kiss her in front of other students.
The football members were whistling and the cheerleaders were giggling. Getting the attention of the students Kai pulled away and gave her s charming smile.
"I miss you, babe," Kai said as he smacked her on her lips.
Jennie gave him a forced smile, "I miss you too, babe."
"I know, babe. Here's your food eat it while it's still hot." Kai said as he gave Jennie a tray of food which she looked at.
"Thank you," Jennie looked up only to see the side of Kai's face was Jisoo who was still talking to Soojoo.
Why do they seem so close to each other? Jennie knitted her eyes to the two.
Kai recognized it and looked behind him. Looking at all students behind his back he looked to Jennie's eyes again to see her looking at him.
"Who you looking at babe?" He asked looking in the eyes of his girlfriend.
"No one." Jennie gave him a fake smile and bit her burger not minding her boyfriend was looking at her thinking.
👣
"So?" Jennie asked Rosie sitting beside her. She just came back from the cafeteria after their break.
"They talk about school stuff," Rosie answered looking into her friend's eye making sure she knew she was not lying to her, "I know you'll do it."
Jennie didn't narrow her eyes at Rosie to make sure she was telling the truth, "I don't want you to keep secrets from me just because the new girl keeps on following Jisoo. She already stole Jisoo away from me I need to make sure you won't be."
"I won't," Rosie reassured her holding her arms and giving them a squeeze, "And excuse me Soojoo didn't steal Jisoo from you. Jisoo is still looking at you far away."
"What do you mean?" Jennie asked confusion written all over her face. She saw how Jisoo had been giving Soojoo attention rather than her.
"He asked me how have you been with Kai? And how do you do lately?" Rosie looks at Jennie, "He told me you don't come to his home often just like before. And you don't talk to him about what's going on with you."
"I was always with Kai after school and jamming with the cheerleaders too. Because apparently the cheerleaders and teams of football are always together."
"Oh- so you have been with Irene?" Rosie narrowed her eyes to Jennie wanting to know a gossip.
"Yeah- why you are looking at me like that?" Jennie asked eyebrows knitted looking at her friend.
"I heard from the shower room that Irene and William are going out. Is it true?" Rosie asked playing with her tongue inside her mouth.
"I don't know if it is true but I saw them together talking seriously inside William's car when we ate at the Burger King's," Jennie said remembering it.
"Shit! Seulgi is for sure going to get a house party for this. It will be credited to mine you should come and invite the football team and cheerleaders." Rosie said licking her lips and smirking to herself, "We had to make sure if they're really going out. Seulgi will be broken-hearted for sure."
"Why are you so excited about this?" Jennie looks at her friend confused, "Seulgi is your boyfriend's best friend should you be worried?"
"Uhm no. He's been a lovesick boy with Irene it's time for him to wake up from daydreaming."
"Are you sure?" Jennie asked concerned looking at Rosie who nodded her head, "What will you tell him?"
"What you told me and to make sure it's true he should throw a party," Rosie said confidently smacking both of her hands and holding them tight smiling to herself.
Jennie shakes her head at her friend who looks like she has many plans for the Seulgi's heart-broken party. But she needs to make sure if it's really gonna be fine with Seulgi inviting the football team and cheerleaders.
The bell rang indicating their lunch break is done classes will be resumed again. Jennie should be ready when she bumps into Jisoo and his friends.
👣
Classes are done Jennie and Rosie made their way to the corridor. Rosie saw her boyfriend with his other two friends.
"Baby!" Rosie called out for her boyfriend's attention.
The three basketball players stop talking as they all look in Rosie's direction.
"Why two looking at my girlfriend!?" Liam raised his eyebrows to his friend which made the two shake their head.
"Seriously Manoban?" Seulgi said raising his eyebrows to Liam.
"What!? She said babe and you two look her way! What does even mean!?" Liam questioned his friends who gave him a look of irritation.
"We won't steal Roseanne Park from you, asshole! We only look because you look in her direction!" Seulgi said smacking Liam's head feeling irritated by his friend. He had enough of Liam's absent-mindedness.
"Hey, Seul!" Rosie called for Seulgi's attention smacking his head in revenge for smacking her boyfriend's head.
"What!?" Seulgi asked mad holding the back of his head where Rosie smacked him.
"Irene is going out with a football player, isn't she babe?" Rosie said looking at Seulgi's eyes.
"I'm not sure," Jennie answered standing beside Rosie.
"Jen!" Rosie looks at Jennie squitting her eyes on her.
"I'm not sure, Seul. I just saw her and William talking seriously in his car. Rosie thinks they are dating because of that-" Jennie explained but didn't finish due to Rosie started explaining why she thought so.
"I heard some girls talking about Irene and William dating in the shower room while I was putting my clothes on in the changing room," Rosie said explaining her situation, "Throw a party and invite them Jennie will do it. Just to make sure it's true that they were dating."
Jennie can't read Seulgi's expression he looks surprised and angry. She's not sure but when he looks at his hand she can see the veins popping in his hand. He looks like he wants to punch someone maybe William?
"Seul," Jennie heard Jisoo's husky voice calling for Seulgi's attention.
"I'll throw a party make sure to invite them, Jennie," Seulgi said after a few minutes of keeping quiet. Not bothering to respond to Jisoo he walks away from them.
"You don't have any idea?" Liam asked Jisoo who shook his head.
"Irene doesn't come home often she prefers to go to her condo than to be at home," Jisoo said watching Seulgi's back slowly walking away from them.
"That's true. I don't see her car often in their garage. She just came home when Aunt Dara made her come home." Jennie looks at Jisoo's worried face looking at his friend's back.
"We should follow him." Liam suggested holding Jisoo's arm, "Baby, I'll see you later. Let's go, captain!" he said to Rosie whom he gave a chaste kiss on the lips and pulled Jisoo to follow their friend.
Jennie and Rosie look at the two men who followed their broken-hearted friend.
"You shouldn't tell him that maybe it's better if we wait for the right time to do it. Look what happened to him. He is seriously broken-hearted you know how in love he is with Irene." Jennie rolled her eyes to her friend.
Rosie crossed her arms and looked at Jennie, "It's better if he knows already so he won't get hurt more in the future. He should look for another girl to be in love with."
"As if it's easy to do that. Since he was young he's been in love with Irene." Jennie defended Seulgi's feelings to her friend.
"Why are you arguing with me? I am also concerned with him." Rosie said looking angry at Jennie.
"Sure you do," Jennie said turning around and leaving Rosie in the corridor.
👣
Jennie is waiting on Jisoo at the school's parking lot. She's playing on the tiny rocks with her shoes. Kicking it far away from her when someone hit on their shoes.
Looking at the shoe she knows who is the owner of it.
"Are you waiting for your boyfriend?" A husky deep voice asked her.
Jennie slowly looks upwards at the person giving him a sarcastic smile. She's been waiting for him for almost an hour already.
"No. I'm waiting for you." She said looking at him with angry eyes, "You're alone that's new." She looks behind him seeing no one is following him.
"Yeah. She has a girl's night out with Bona so I let her be." He shrugged his shoulder making Jennie raise her eyebrows.
"Why would she need your permission are you her boyfriend?" She crossed her arms over her chest.
"Uh- no." Jisoo shakes his head crossing his arms copying what Jennie did.
"Are you planning?" Jennie raised her eyebrows at him.
"I don't know, Jen. We already talk about this." He sighed tiredly. It's been days and students keep asking him if Soojoo and him are dating especially Liam.
Jennie rolled her eyes Jisoo is keeping a secret from her and she doesn't like it at all.
"Whatever!" She said making him lift his head and look at her, "How's Seul?"
He looks at her with worry, "He'll be fine he said he'll throw a party to make sure William and my sister are dating."
"So I'm really gonna invite them? I don't think Irene will go." Jennie can feel that Jisoo is feeling bothered by Seulgi's love problem, especially his older sister.
"That's true but if William decides to go I think my sister will join him. You know parties get wild when everyone is drunk." He said looking at Jennie's intimidating cat-eyes.
Jennie looks at Jisoo's charming eyes who are looking at her intimidating cat-eyes. She swallowed her own saliva feeling nervous the way Jisoo looked at her. As if he is reading her thoughts and badly wants to know her deepest secret.
She never thought that making eye-to-eye with Jisoo would make her feel shy and nervous at the same time feel so little in his charming eyes. As she looked at her best friend's eyes she also saw the sadness in it.
Jennie reached out for his cheek and gently caressed it. Jisoo was surprised by her sudden action he looked at Jennie with knitted eyebrows.
"Jennie?"
