Inside the pub...
"Okay everyone! showtime's over" Lisa shouted and everybody went on with what they are doing before the scene started.
"Is she going to be okay?" Wendy asked.
"She will be, honey" Irene said and kissed her fiancée's head.
"It's time for them to realized that they have been fools for a very long time" Yeri said.
"You're here?!" Joy was surprised.
"Since yesterday. duh?" Yeri said.
"You know them also, Yeri ?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah, I went to college with them" Yeri answered.
"But I'm closer to two of them, Yeri was just a fly on the wall" Lisa said.
"Yah!" Yeri shouted.
At an isolated VIP table...
"I told you they are in love with each other" Chaeryeong said.
"We don't know the answer to that yet" Ryujin said.
"50,000 won. I say they are both in love with each other" Yeji piped in.
"I'm with Yeji!" Chaeryeong said.
"Ugh! fine. 50,000 won I say they aren't because Jennie unnie is in love with Nayeon unnie" Ryujin said.
Their table was filled with banters but a certain brunette is looking for someone.
"Lia! You're with me on this okay?" Ryujin told her girlfriend because obviously she's being overpowered by the two other girls.
"Guys... have you seen Yuna?" Lia asked.
"She's probably broken hearted because her idol is in love" Yeji said bitterly.
Then their table became quiet for once.
"If I were you, just tell Yuna that you love her, Yej. Or else you'll be like Chaeyoung unnie" Ryujin said.
Yes, they know that Yeji is indeed have feelings for Yuna but Yuna is a soft innocent baby. They are not sure if Shin Yuna is just dense or she's really a stupid giant.
"100,000 won, you confess to Yuna" Chaeryeong said.
All of them are looking at her.
"Whut?" Chaeryeong asked.
"No need to bet. I'll confess tomorrow" Yeji said.
They all cheered and once again their table became lively and rowdy just like it always is.

Outside...
The night is quiet.
Well, except for drunk Chaeyoung.
"Woooooshhh!" Chaeyoung said.
She's walking drunkenly and is playing like a kid. She's lucky Jennie is physically strong even after being emotionally wreck cause of what happened. Jennie tries hard to guide Chaeyoung while walking.
"Oh hi there Mr. butterfly" Chaeyoung stopped and crouch to say hi to an insect on the ground.
"The fuck Rosie, that's a roach!" Jennie freaked out and shoo the bug.
Drunk Chaeyoung is a roller coaster of emotions, she went back to being a kid, as if she didn't confess her love for Jennie. That she didn't just shook Jennie's well-being.
Jennie decided to just give Chaeyoung support while walking. She put the taller girl's arms over her shoulders and she put her arms around Chaeyoung's waist. When they went out of the pub the Blonde was already stumbling on her feet and was ready to crawl back home.
"Ms. driver can you zoom zoom like my motorbike? vrooom vrooom!" Chaeyoung playfully said.
"Rosie, stay still, we might trip and both of us will get hurt" Jennie's voice were firm, wasn't even shaking even when Chaeyoung is putting a lot of weight on her.
Chaeyoung stopped squirming and stumbling. She slowly melted adding weight on Jennie, her arms encircled around Jennie's neck as she nuzzled her nose on the crook of her neck.
"Shoryy" she whispered.
Her voice was muffled. Sending vibrations all throughout Jennie's body.
"Are you mad at Rosie?" Chaeyoung asked.
"No" Jennie answered.
"Are you sure?" Chaeyoung asked.
"Yes" Jennie said.
"You sound mad" Chaeyoung noticed.
"I'm not" Jennie answered shortly.
"Jichu... please don't tell Jennie I got drunk I don't want to be a problem to her anymore" Chaeyoung said sleepily.
Jennie almost tripped when she heard what name Chaeyoung called her.
"Jichu promise me..." Chaeyoung said.
"I promise I won't tell" Jennie answered
"Pinky swear?" Chaeyoung asked and offered her pinky.
"I swear" Jennie said and she locked pinky's with Chaeyoung.
She's been fooling herself since this story began so, why not until the end?
They reached her Villa and decided to put Chaeyoungto bed. Had a hard time dragging the taller girl upstairs. Jennie was still composed even after being shaken. She's still taking care of Chaeyoung; it was a like a part of Jennie's life.
Chaeyoung is a part of her.
Chaeyoung is...
"You've been through a lot, love. I'm sorry. I wish I could take away the pain, but I'm not sure how to do that. But I promise you that I will make things right. Just give me time" Jennie whispered and gave Chaeyoung a kiss on her head.

Morning...
Chaeyoung woke up with a throbbing head. And yes, it's because she was drunk, she knew it. She looked at the bed side table and found a pill and a glass of water. She also noticed that her clothes are already different, she doubts she changed by herself so she thought of someone that will do it for her without a thought.
"Jennie" she said.
She looked for her phone and found it under her pillows. When she opened it there are a lot of messages that are mostly from unregistered numbers. she opened some of it and it says...
[- Chaeyoung, I hope you are okay. If you want someone to talk to just call me- Minnie]
another one...
[- Good morning my lovely blonde goddess! I'm proud of you! Your number 2 fan - Lisa Manoban]
and another one...
[- Chaeyoung, whatever happens just know that I'm here for you- Joy]
She also got some messages from their parents.
[- good morning! how are you and Jennie? any progress? stay healthy my daughters!- Daddy Kim]
[Mom (sent to PARK AND KIM)]
[- look what I found in one of our albums. Jennie gave Chaeyoung a soda tab as a ring and asked her to get married when they were seven! - MOM]
[- sent a picture -]
[- those were the times! How I wish to see the two of you at the altar soon. I love you my babies- Mommy Kim]
Chaeyoung was now fully awake. She just lied about that yesterday and here, their moms slapping them with the receipts?!
"MOM!" she shouted and squirmed on the bed like a worm showered with salt.
"My life is ruined!" she dramatically shouted again.
Oh! girl if only you knew what you did last night.
The last message was from her daddy.
[- call me when you wake up. - DAD]
And she did.
Chaeyoung called her dad. They haven't talk comfortably with each other since her sister died. It was like there's an invisible wall between them not mention that her daddy is really against her racing career.
"dad?"
"how are you?"
"I'm fine"
"How's Jennie?"
"She's fine dad"
silence...
"If you don't have anything to say-"
"When's your flight to UK?" her dad asked.
"If you are going to stop me-"
"I have a business meeting next month; I was wondering if we can fly together"
"Oh. uh... sure dad. I'll inform you"
Her mood went down after talking to her dad. They're always like that though, their relationship as father and daughter is mostly like build with civilized conversation that can turn in to an argument or misunderstanding. She knows that her daddy is trying to patch things up with her, but she ain't ready yet. After all he blamed her about Alice death, she knows that both of her parents are still sad about the loss that they had.
After her morning routines, Chaeyoung feels like there is something missing in the morning. Well aside to not having breakfast yet, she feels empty inside. She's trying to just ignore and go on in the morning but her gut feeling isn't making her any better.
She went down to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. When she got down, the house felt empty, the living room's abandon, the garden looks deserted and the kitchen?
Well, she saw some food on the counter but still, it's empty. She checked the food and found her breakfast and a note that says- EAT.
"Must be from Jennie. Well duh who would do this for you?" She told herself.
She ate but didn't finished eating, that weird feeling that she's feeling is still bothering her. And the fact that she didn't see Jennie makes it even more bothersome.
She fished out her phone and scrolled through twitter. It was an okay activity, catching up on some celebrity lifestyle and current news is a normal thing to do. However, what made her stopped scrolling was a tweet with a Video on it. And with more than 100k likes and retweets.
It was tweeted by a celebrity news platform.
