When you least expect it (Jensoo convert G!P)

Chapter 16

It is Tuesday the next time I talk to Jisoo. Sure, I had seen her in school, yet we both have been avoiding each other, one being cross at the other. I noticed that every time she saw me her eyes hardened and she looked like she wanted to punch something.

While it was clear she was cross at me, I on the other hand, felt many things when I saw her. I felt cross that her father would do that to mine, annoyed that Jisoo shouted at me like I was the one in the wrong, irritated that she was avoiding me, but most of all I was feeling regret for giving her hoodie back.

It is Tuesday night and it is only Irene and myself in the house. Mum and dad were both working late, Yeri was studying with a friend and Mino was on another date with Sohee.

I am in the kitchen clearing the dishes when the doorbell rings.

"I'll get it." Irene calls from the living room. It is a minute later that I see Irene appear in the kitchen doorway.

"Who was it?" I ask, closing the dishwasher. I turn back to her, only this time seeing Jisoo standing behind her.

"Jisoo's here," She tells me as if she didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to do. I just stare at her, not moving, "I'll... umm... be in the living room," Irene says, turning making Jisoo have to move aside to let her past.

Jisoo walks into the kitchen, looking a little lost.

"You were right, these houses are strangely similar," She says, looking around the room. I don't reply, just continue staring at her. Like every time I see her, a rush of emotions run through me, leaving me shaking slightly.

"I noticed your parents aren't home and that Mino left a while ago, as did Yeri," She says, leaning against the counter.

"What do you want, Jisoo?" I ask, finding my voice. Her eyes move across my face, looking at every inch of it.

"Lisa told me what you told her on Saturday. She said that my dad was the one who started this thing between our parents and that he was the reason your dad was fired by Mr Jackson..." She tells me, uncertain. I just look at her.

"And?" I ask, gripping the counter, trying to get my emotions under control.

"I didn't believe her. That wasn't the story my dad told us about how this started. I mean it is, but he never mentioned the part where he sabotaged your dad. I wanted to confront my dad, to see if it was true. I had to phone him as both him and mom are away for a few days... he admitted it. Sounded shocked that I found out about it, even tried denying it at the start. Look what I'm saying is, I didn't know Jennie." She says, walking up to me, so there was only an inch between us.

"That doesn't matter Jisoo. Your family has hurt mine more than once –" She cuts me off by placing her lips on mine. It is only a quick kiss, yet I feel like the ground has been taken out from beneath me.

"I know, I know. Jennie, these last few days have been hell. I know why you gave me my hoodie, I do, but you have to believe me, I wouldn't hurt you or your family." She tells me, cupping my face, forcing me to look at her.

"Jisoo, I can't do this," I say, feeling tears trying to build.

"Yes, you can," She says, leaning her forehead on mine, looking into my eyes, "Yes, you can."

"No, I can't," I say, pulling back, taking several steps away. I can see hurt flash across her face.

"Jennie, you know this is what you want," She says like it's a fact, taking a step closer, making me take a step back.

"Please, just go," I tell her, walking towards the door.

"Jennie!" She says, desperation in her voice.
