The next day...
"6 hours?!" Chaeyoung shouted
"Rosie, relax"
"Are kidding me? No!" the younger girl continued to freak out.
"Rosie, don't worry"
"Jennie, I'm not going to sit inside your damn car for 6 hours!"
Jennie looked at the younger girl and sighed. She knew well why Chaeyoung wouldn't even get near to a car.
"Listen, I won't let anything bad happens to you" the cat-eyed girl said.
"I promise" she added.
Chaeyoung took a deep breath. Those feline eyes are the reason why she always gives in whenever Jennie asks something. She collected some courage before she steps inside the car that is waiting for her. The moment she sits, Jennie closed the door and dashed to the driver's seat. She looked over Chaeyoung who was taking deep breaths and shook her head upon noticing the unbuckled seat belt of the blonde haired princess so she decided to put it on for her.
Chaeyoung was anxious about taking the 6-hour drive, she is never really a fan of cars and the only person who can make her sit inside that four-wheel drive is Jennie. Not even her parents.
She was overthinking the things that might happen to her or them during the long hours that she will spend sitting on that leather seat when suddenly she came face to face with the most beautiful girl, she had ever laid eyes on.
Now, not only her brain stopped working but also her whole respiratory system and to make it weirder her heart seems like procrastinating over a deadline that is due in about an hour.
"I told you to always fasten your seatbelt" Jennie said calmly before she sits nicely on her seat.
Chaeyoung was processing what just happened when she heard Jennie's voice again.
"Rosie, breathe"
And she did.
"Here, you can take over my playlist so you can relax"
Chaeyoung eyed Jennie and played The 1975 album.
- Heart out by the 1975 is playing -
-----
"So, this is the famous Reveland" Chaeyoung said when she opened the window and put her head outside to feel the fresh air.
They aren't in the city anymore and the country vibe from the place gave Chaeyoung a soothing feeling.
"It wasn't a WOW for me" she added.
"Don't tell that in front of Irene" Jennie said.
"Irene? You mean the Bae Irene?" Chaeyoung said and shivered.
"Yes, that Irene"
"Crap"
"Don't worry, she's getting married and she's happy. She probably forgot already how obsessed she was with you when we were in high school" Jennie said gritting her teeth upon remembering that darkest moment of her life.
"Oh well, you said so"
Chaeyoung once again looked out the window and let the cold air blow against her face and blonde hair. She felt good, she was close in taking back the words she said a while ago, as they were nearing the main road that leads them inside the so-called Reveland, Chaeyoung realized why the place was named like that. It was ethereal, there were trees and flowers, a lot more that what she's seeing in the city. It was really a place you can call a paradise.
And this is where Jennie will propose to the girl she loves. A perfect place to be honest.
Chaeyoung seated nicely, for a while she forgot about how anxious she was 6 hours ago in to riding the car for long.
"Jen, where did you meet Nathalie? What is she like?" Chaeyoung asked.
"It's Nayeon. And oh! She the kindest, gentlest and sweetest person I've ever met. She's funny, smart and..." Jennie sighed, there are a lot of words that she can described the girl and she couldn't fit it into one sentence.
"and she's the most beautiful girl I have ever met in my whole life" she said.
"Even more beautiful than mom?" and Chaeyoung just had to ruin it for her.
"Fine, mom is the most beautiful" Jennie said.
"More beautiful than me?" Chaeyoung tried one more time.
"In your dreams!" Jennie said.
"What? I'm every man's and woman's dream. I am the most sought-after racer of our generation. A lot of magazines said that if I weren't a racer, I could be a model or an actress or a member of the biggest girl group of this generation. That is how gorgeous I am in the eyes of the others" Chaeyoung said.
"Rosie if you don't want to talk about Nayeon, you don't need to pretend that you want to know about her" Jennie said.
"Of course, I'm interested. That is the reason why we are here right? You want me to know your girlfriend and soon to be your fiancée. I wouldn't be here and sit for 6 hours if I'm not" Chaeyoung said as she looked out the window.
They were almost near the club proper and Chaeyoung started seeing some people and other cars.
"How long have you been a member here Jen?" she asked.
"Almost two years" the cat eyed girl shortly answered while she was looking for her private parking space.
"And you only decided to bring me here now?" Chaeyoung cannot believe it.
"You are busy with your racer life so I didn't bother" Jennie answered.
"Is Nancy a member here?" Chaeyoung continues asking questions.
"No, Nayeon isn't a member, but we met when the company she works at had a conference here. And now they have another conference so I'm taking this opportunity to introduce the two of you and to propose to her" Jennie explained.
"Can I be a member here? I'm taking back what I said about this place, this is truly a paradise!" Chaeyoung suddenly said.
"Are you even listening to me?" Jennie is starting to get annoyed by how random Chaeyoung is today.
"Of course, you said that you met Nadine here during a conference and no, she isn't a member" Chaeyoung said.
"When are you going to get her name right?" Jennie gave up.
"So, can I?" Chaeyoung asked again.
"No, only those who are into business are members here. You aren't so you can't" Jennie answered.
"But I heard, Ashley is a member. She's a singer, right?" Chaeyoung asked.
"But she is also handling her family business. This club was established by Irene so other business minded women can have a place to chill and do their business without the stress from the city" Jennie explained.
"There, Irene owns this place so maybe she can make an exemption for me?" Chaeyoung said.
"I told you she isn't the Irene we knew back in high school, Rosie"
"Fine, fine" Chaeyoung gave up.
"Ugh. Why do you have to be so annoying and we didn't even start our day here in the club? I should've just pushed you when we drove by the cliff a while ago" Jennie said annoyed.
"Yah! Why do you always want to hurt me? you really hate me that much?" Chaeyoung whined.
"What? No, I don't hate you I was just joking you know that, baby" Jennie said.
"Really? Then kiss me if you don't really hate me" Chaeyoung said seriously.
"on a second thought, yes I hate you" Jennie said and she looked at Chaeyoung after she turned off the car engine.
-----
Chaeyoung was busy admiring the whole place, she never thought that there is a place better then Jeju island, or Nami island. The place was so stunning she just wants to live there.
"I'll just sign in at the members lounge, I'll leave you at the pub. You can order whatever you like and just put it on my tab" Jennie said.
"What? You are going to leave me?" Chaeyoung asked.
"Just for a while, I just needed to settle in and then I'll join you" Jennie explained.
"But... but I don't know anyone there" Chaeyoung said shyly.
It was silence after that.
And then Jennie's laugh filled the place. It was so loud that it made the people around the premises to look at them. When Chaeyoung got over her shock, she looked at Jennie who was still laughing.
She laughed.
And it was because of her.
That was enough for Chaeyoung.
'At least I still make you laugh' she thought.
Jennie's next action made Chaeyoung's heart on rampage and her face feels like burning.
"You are so cute as ever, My Rosie!" Jennie said while she pinched both of Chaeyoung's chipmunk cheeks.
"Awwiieee"
"Awww! I'm so sorry princess" Jennie said that even made Chaeyoung weak.
Jennie hugged Chaeyoung like a child and kissed her cheeks. Chaeyoung smiled secretly, she sniffed and burrows her head on the crook of Jennie's neck, she wouldn't deny that it was her safe haven.
Jennie is her safe haven.
She's her clarity.
It has been so long since the cat-eyed girl hugged her, maybe it was during their college graduation. Yes, that was the last time and that was years ago. Chaeyoung wanted to savor this moment so she tighten their hug.
She was enjoying heaven when someone came and disturbed them.
"Jennie, you are here" a girl said.
Both of them looked at the lady with that sweet voice. The woman was so pretty she almost looked unreal. Chaeyoung was wearing a band shirt with pants and sneakers and the girl looks gorgeous in an old rose plain dress. If she were to stand beside the girl she will look like a commoner, but she wouldn't care less because she's still around Jennie's embrace and that all that matters.
But not for long.
"Nayeon, babe" Jennie said and immediately let go of her and gave the girl a peck on the cheek.
Chaeyoung doesn't know where to put her eyes so she just examined her dirty sneakers and stood there awkwardly. From a distance she looks like a puppy who got kicked out by her owner or a kid who lost her ice cream.
"You are here and you didn't tell me" Nayeon said.
"I wanted to surprise you" Jennie said sweetly.
"With another girl? are you trying to make me jealous? Because it's working" Nayeon said.
"Chaeyoung is just a childhood friend, there is nothing to be jealous about" Jennie said laughing like she was a big joke.
"But I saw you kissed her" Nayeon said.
"A friendly kiss. She made me laugh so I was just returning the favor and it's kind of our thing so, really there is nothing to worry about" Jennie explained.
Chaeyoung was left thinking. Since when hugging and kissing was their thing? She thought that annoying the hell out of each other is their thing? If only she knew, she would've kissed and hugged the cat-eyed girl thousands of times already.
"By the way, Nayeon this is Chaeyoung, Chaeyoung this is Nayeon my girlfriend" Jennie introduced the two of them and that was the only time Chaeyoung looked at the girl beside Jennie.
"So, you are her childhood friend, if there is something that I want to know about her you are the number one go to person" Nayeon said and offered her hand.
"Nice to meet you Chaeyoung, hope we can be friends" the girl added.
"Oh, yeah s-sure" Chaeyoung said and accepted the hand.
Nayeon's hand is so soft her own hand feels like callous because of her unusual hobby for a girl. She immediately took back her hands because of insecurities.
"Nice to meet you too, N-nayeon" she smiled awkwardly.
Jennie on the other hand released a sigh when Chaeyoung said Nayeon's name correctly.
"I really wanted to talk to you today but I have work to do. Can we talk about Jennie when I come back? I really wanted to know things about her" Nayeon said.
"Sure, no worries" Chaeyoung said.
The Park Chaeyoung who is full of herself and filled with confidence suddenly became an awkward girl. She couldn't even construct a proper sentence.
"Wait, you are going back to Seoul?" Jennie asked.
"Yes, unfortunately. Joy wants me to do something important back in the company, I might be away for a while but I'll try to finish it so I can come back for you" Nayeon said that almost made Chaeyoung vomit but of course she didn't show it.
Jennie showed a cute pout and Chaeyoung couldn't take it anymore, luckily, she found someone familiar in the pub and decided to leave the two lovers before she pukes out her guts all over the place.
"If you'll excuse me, I saw someone gorgeous" Chaeyoung said.
"What? Who? I'm the only gorgeous here" Jennie said.
"In your dreams, sis" she said and went away.
