Second Overtime | JENSOO & CHAELISA

Chapter VII

"What are you doing here Jennie?" Jisoo asks her coldly, as she watches the other girl close the door behind her.

Jennie looks at her as she leans her back on the door, the dread in her stomach growing. She shouldn't have decided to face Jisoo while she was still in the hospital. She should have just waited until she was back in school. But here she was, face to face with the person who obviously didn't want to have anything to do with her.

She was starting to regret this decision of coming here first.

But there was no turning back. Swallowing her pride, she breathed in for luck as she strode towards Jisoo's bed.

"I came here because I know what happened, and I wanted to give you these." she says, as she puts down a stack of papers on the table beside her bed.

Jisoo eyed her suspiciously, "What are those?"

"It's the math homework you have been missing since you were hospitalized. Miss Lee told me that you have been behind so much, and wanted to make sure that you were still able to keep up, so she asked me to send these to you. She's really worried about you, Jisoo." she says, as she held the hem of her shirt. She felt really nervous. Jisoo gave her a hard stare.

"And why would that be your problem, Jennie? You don't care if I fail Math. You wouldn't come here even if the Pope himself asked you to, unless you had something in it for you." she tells her pointedly.

She decided that this would be the best time to come clean. 

"I know you don't trust me Jisoo, and that's fine. Miss Lee did ask me to come here and help you out with bumping your grades in Math. She felt I would be able to raise it up, especially during these times."

"In return of what? You're not doing this out of the goodness of your own heart." she says sarcastically.

Jennie licked her lips, this was it, "She told me that it will raise my B into an A." she finally says while avoiding her stare. 

Jisoo gave her a mirthless laugh, "Oh my God, seriously? What would your mother say if she found out you were here right now? You'd risk it all to please her for a what? An A?" 

Jennie raised her hands in frustration, "I know, alright? You know how she is."

"Yeah, I know how she is." Jisoo answered, the coldness in her voice even more apparent than before.

"Look Jisoo, I know what you are going through isn't easy right now. I know how much you love basketball, but you just can't leave your grades behind. When you're okay and back in shape, the colleges-"

Jisoo angrily swatted the papers away on the table, "DON'T TALK TO ME AS IF YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL! DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE...LIKE I WILL BE OKAY!" she screamed at Jennie, the anger and frustration in her eyes now boring into her. Jennie stood there frozen, not knowing what to do.

"We are not friends! We are no longer friends, you made sure of that. I don't care about math, or whatever else! I don't...I have nothing else, and you don't know how that feels because you always have everything handed out to you!" she lashed out at her, her eyes now brimming with tears. Jennie's heart was pounding, and for the first time in a long time, she felt guilty, and she could feel how hopeless Jisoo was about her situation.

"Jisoo..."

Jisoo closed her eyes, "Don't, just don't Jennie. I don't need your pity."

She was about to say something when the door to the room opened. When Jennie turned to see who it was, she was face to face with Irene, Jisoo's older sister.
