"So you wanted to talk about something?" Jennie croaked out when she managed to relax thanks to Jisoo's reassuring words and hug.
"It's about Taeyong." Jisoo started, making Jennie raise her eyebrows because Jisoo doesn't like him nor talking about him. "I had a weird thought and wanted to share it with you."
"You are attracted to him?" Jennie deadpanned.
"God no! Ew!" Jisoo frowned. "I was thinking, when did Taeyong start showing more interest in you than ever before?"
Jennie blinked. Jisoo gave her some time to think about and Jennie did rethink each of their interactions.
"Hm, he started when...." Jennie's eyes flickered to Jisoo's in realisation. "We started switching bodies."
"Maybe he knows!" Jisoo agreed. "Or he has something to do with it!"
"He was also there in that diner we met." Jennie pondered.
"He totally cursed us! He is a witch!" Jisoo groaned angrily.
With Jisoo's words, Jennie also felt suspicious of him.
Even if he had nothing to do with it, he might still know something and that was worth thinking about. They agreed to sleep it out and switch back while also keeping a close eye on Taeyong in the future. He might be dangerous.
JS.
Jisoo always mistrusted that serial cheater. He is definitely number one on her most suspicious men list. She also asked Doyoung to be careful around him but her friend doesn't really seem like he takes her warnings serious.
Like agreed Jisoo decided to sleep, however on her way back to her room she noticed a man with a black balaclava mask, staring through windows with his binoculars.
This was totally the most suspicious thing ever, beating Taeyong on her suspicious people list.
"What are you doing there?" Jisoo squatted down beside him, hidden in the bushes. He flinched and jumped sideways. "Taking pictures of minors?"
He shook his head vigorously and hid his phone behind his back. While he dashed away Jisoo was thinking that his eyes were familiar. She definitely saw him before.

In the morning the group of girls who usually pick on Jennie sat down with her in the cafeteria when they had breakfast. Normally Lisa and Chaeyoung sit at her table. Jisoo always skips so she never sees her here.
Jennie picked on her scrambled eggs nervously, tightening her hold on the fork. Were they going to bully her in front of everyone? Even a few teachers were present.
"Jennie Kim." Krystal broke the silence. Her girls watching the brunette.
"Y-Yes?" Jennie responded timidly.
"We heard that you are the reason, the school nurse is jobless." Krystal said with a straight face, she sounded pretty serious.
"Huh?" Jennie's eyes widened. Is that why everyone keeps staring at her and whispering? What did Jisoo do now? "I-I'm so sorry--"
"He hid cameras in the facility room and I was notified that he also had recordings of me." Krystal averted her gaze, heaving a sigh. "Which is why I have decided you are on our whitelist and we will leave you alone until graduation."
Jennie's mouth gaped. They are going to leave her in peace? Just like that? She never imagined this to happen, those girls practically need to bully to keep their status and they don't care about the damage they do either. So this was unthinkable for Jennie.
Apparently that's all they had to tell Jennie because they left right afterwards. Jennie's sandwich was in the air while her mouth was still parted. She was frozen in shock.
"Jen! We heard about what you did!" Chaeyoung and Lisa sat down across from her. "You busted that shit!"
"I-I..." Jennie blinked.
"Everyone is talking about it." Lisa gestured. "You are like super popular now."
Jisoo seems to always find a way to get the attention on Jennie. Jennie would have felt uncomfortable but strangely she felt more confident.
JS.
Jisoo started the day with receiving her exam back which got the full score thanks to Jennie. Her teacher was skeptical and was sure Jisoo somehow cheated but she wrote it in front of her eyes so she couldn't prove it.
"Can't believe you aced an exam." Doyoung fake gasped. "Did you actually study?"
"Something like that." Jisoo shrugged. "How is it going with you and that guy?"
"It's casual. He doesn't really commit." Doyoung blew a bubble with his chewing gum before he popped it and continued chewing.
So it was the same old with him. Jisoo decided to paddle towards the rooftop and take a smoke. To her dismay they locked it after the stunt she pulled here in Jennie's body. She sighed and turned around.
Now that everything is back to semi normal she doesn't quite know what to do with herself. Drink whiskey with Jinyoung and Doyoung? Study with Jennie in the library? Play games on her phone?
Instinctively she headed to Jennie's room. Roses were dangling from the doorknob. Did Taeyong put them there? She grabbed them and read the card, it indeed was written by him. Therefore she disposed them right into the trash bin.
The clattering clearly was loud enough for the person in the room to be startled enough to open the door.
"Chu?" Jennie's head peeked out.
"Oh, hi Mandu. I was just throwing away garbage." Jisoo scratched her neck.
"All the way up here?" Jennie raised her eyebrows.
"My garbage bin is full so..." Jisoo gestured fidgety.
"Do you want to come in?" Jennie asked with a small smile. Jisoo nodded and followed her, closing the door behind her.
Right away the small puppy cuddled Jisoo's feet. "Oh? I thought Kuma doesn't like me." She squatted down to pet him.
"He likes you now. I told him you are my kind friend." Jennie giggled.
"Is that so? You approve of me Kuma?" Jisoo caressed his ears. "Don't worry I will take care of Jennie."
He barked lowly in response so Jisoo let go. He then walked to Jennie and apparently gave her a message because Jennie put him in his corner that was full of pillows.
Jennie patted the spot beside her in her bed, Jisoo took that as a signal to sit next to her so she obliged.
JN.
Jennie was surprised to find Jisoo behind her door but she was also happy. She was bored anyways and Kuma looked sleepy and unwilling to play with her. Jennie values Jisoo as one of her few friends. Lots of people talked to her today and wanted to befriend her because of what Jisoo did. It was overwhelming so she escaped into the safety of her room.
She doesn't get comfortable that easily around others but around Jisoo she already feels light. She trusts her.
"Chu?"
"Yes?"
"Can you come to breakfast and lunch starting tomorrow? And not skip classes?"
Jisoo cocked her brows, that request must have caught her off guard.
"Please?" Jennie pouted. "I want to have breakfast with you."
Jisoo stilled, she averted her gaze and appeared to be considering the proposal.
"Thanks to you, I didn't fail the exam. I guess if that's what you want, I could try to do it for you too." She husked.
"Yay! Breakfast together!" Jennie cheered happily, hugging Jisoo sideways. The intimacy must have surprised the elder but she didn't seem to dislike it.
"You are so cute." Jisoo tilted her head and circled her arms around Jennie's head. "What do I do with you?" She sighed before pecking Jennie's nose.
With that Jennie broke the hug and stumbled with her back hitting the mattress. Her cheeks flushed red whilst Jisoo smiled, pressing her palms around both sides of Jennie's face. She leaned down slowly and teasingly, making Jennie close her eyes in embarrassment. Her chest heaved and her heart raced while Jisoo inched closer.
Just when Jennie thought Jisoo was going to kiss her, she lifted herself up and booped Jennie's scrunched nose.
"What's wrong Mandu?" Jisoo grinned at her. Jennie sat up, rolling her eyes while turning her back to the raven. Her cheeks were still donned in a red hue.
"Sorry for teasing you," Jisoo's warm breath tickled her cheeks as her deep voice whispered. "You are just too adorable." She enveloped her in a back hug.
"D-Don't do that out of nowhere..." Jennie mumbled, staying frozen in place.
"I won't. Sorry." Jisoo rested her chin on the other's shoulder, making her body burn up. Why is she getting nervous? She loves cuddles normally.
"I forgive you. Just don't forget to come tomorrow."
"With you smiling like that," Jisoo poked one of her cheeks. "How could I?"
Jennie lowered her head, making incoherent sounds out of sheepishness. She will try to forget about her racing heart and just look forward to be with Jisoo in the morning.
