Jennie

Chapter 2

After class Chaeng and I went to our separate ways and arranged to meet at the cafeteria for lunch. I watched her bolted off then my eyes darted to the sexy brunette girl, coming out from the door.
I still have an hour before my next class, so I intend to take Jennie unnie to her's. The school is massive like a maze, if you're new, you'll definitely get lost.

"Jennie unnie!" I shouted getting her attention. She stopped mid-step glancing back, searching of who called her.

I was about to make my way to her when three maknaes from the dance department came up to me.  I sighed, thinking I can't get away now.

"Lisa unnie!"

"Lisa unnie!"

"Lisa unnie!"

The three of them blocked my way. "Unnie can you please show us the choreo that Kochi taught us last week."

They are now crowding the hallway and pushing me to a corner.

"Sorry girls, but I really have to go." I pleaded with them but they kept on insisting.

They continued to beseeched me but I was not budging. I always helped them merely everyday. I think that would be enough. Right?
It only took a second when guilt took over and Jennie unnie walked away.

"Come on." I said, my feet moving to the dance studio.

The next few hours, I spent teaching the maknaes and dazing during class and completely falling asleep until one Seonsaengnim scolded me and made me squat outside the classroom. Very exciting.
Jennie unnie even saw me, how embarrassing.

I walked to the cafeteria with a wobbly legs and saw Chaeng at the door grinning and arms crossed. "I heard you got punish for sleeping again."

"Oh-please, it was nothing!" I sneered. "My long legs are fine. Still the long-legged Lisa." I put my arm around her shoulders as we went into the cafeteria.

"I have news for you," Chaeng said once we took some tray and fell in lone to get our food. Min-ju unnie was right, they were serving pork ribs stew today. I will thank Min-ju unnie later.

"Yeah?"  I grabbed a bowl of stew for Chaeng and I, handing it to her.

"Jennie unnie was at the vocal department earlier. She even sang during class and she raps too."

"No—way, now I want to join your vocal class." I pouted. Chaeng is so lucky, damn.

I was right. From the moment I saw her I know she was talented. I can't help but want to get to know her more.

Two maknaes from the vocal department invited us to sit with them. We happily accepted.

"What are you two talking about?" Chaeng query while taking a sit opposite from them and I followed beside her.

The blacked haired girl named Eon answered, "we were talking about the new student, Jennie Kim."
Chaeng nodded and I just listen quietly. The girl next to her who dyed her hair red, Cho-Hee signal us to come closer so no one can hear what she was about to spill.

"An unnie told us that her friend knew Jennie Kim that she is extremely rich. Her mom has a company and her father owns a hospital." She whispered, "Also, unnie said that she transferred school because she stole someone's boyfriend." She finishes taking her final bite of food.

Chaeng and I were surprise to hear this. At the the end of the day gossips are still gossips. Ninety percent of the time it's made up to make it more interesting. Whatever goes in this school halls, I don't normally listen. This just makes me angry, they don't know who Jennie unnie is, and they are spreading this rumors like wild fire.

"Please, don't tell anyone about this unnies," Eon beseeched.

"Look girls," I start, "whatever Jennie unnie's reason for her transfer is not our concerns. Why don't you two stop talking about this and go practice." 

I must said it bitterly because after that the maknaes bid their good byes like they were the one on fire.

As the rest of lunch time, Chaeng didn't say anything or comment on the information we learned. Like me, we dont listen to gossip at all. 

Chaeng set up her guitar then, adjusting the strings to tone its melody and began singing. I can't help but admire my bestfriend. Her voice has this unique and serene fashion that sounds angelic although its captivating and at the same time tempting.
Sometimes I sang along with her but I mostly daze of to her singing. Other time when she's just playing around, she would sing a song in her aussie accent and its contiguous. People would mistaken me that I'm Australian than Thai.

Due to this morning I felt like my eyes are giving up and I didn't notice Chaeng stop singing. "Look! its Jisoo unnie." She gestured to where the bending machines are located.

"Kim Pig!" I shouted earning some glances from other students in the cafeteria. The jet-black haired girl, wearing a gray pullover and ripped jean seems startled from my call. Jisoo wave at us while walking to our table with milk on hand. She does love her milk.
"Lisa-yah! Chaeyoung-ah! Nyeongan." Kim Jisoo greeted once she arrived, sipping her milk.

"Annyeong unnie." Chaeng grins, "Let me guess, its your fifth box today."

"Hey-hey! I need to grow." Jisoo urges which makes Chaeng and I laughed.

"Kim Jisoo," I start, "you stopped growing a long time ago." I teased that made her rolled her eyes at me.

Jisoo is the eldest among us three but she's the shortest then me and Chaeng is the tallest.
She still believes drinking milk everyday can help her grow an inch but I don't think so.

"Did you just called me here to annoy me or what?" Jisoo accused playfully with crossed arms and rose brows.

Chaeng and I just ignore her and chuckled. Jisoo is one of the unnies in school that we're close too. She is the reason why my Korean is so good and helped with everything I needed when I was new here. She would take me traveling, and eat out to learn the language. She's such an amazing person. I am so great full to have her as my unnie.

The three of us got really close when Chaeng and I had our drama classes. Jisoo was the big hand that guide us through the journey. Since then, I can get away with calling her Kim Jisoo or Kim Pig because she's always eating like all the time, hence the milk, and she doesn't really care.

"We were just wondering if you could join us. And maybe treat us some milk" Chaeng stated emphasizing her brows and eyes.

"No, can't," she declined while bobbing her head. "No milk for you two. You bullies." Now she's the teasing.

Chaeng and I gave her a sour look of disgust and a little disappointment. We hardly see Jisoo now a days due to her auditions. She graduated last year and Jisoo stayed behind to help train the newbies at the drama department.

She replied with a wry smile, "I'm touring Jennie Kim around the campus, you know the new student." She explains.

Chaeng and I simultaneously nodded for her to continue. "She's my new roommate and I have to go because she's waiting for me outside so-nyeongan."  She harshly finished her milk and left although made a pit stop at the bending machine again for more milk which we roast her for it and we got the eye and finger from Jisoo.

"Dang, you and Jisoo get to hangout with Jennie unnie." I pouted.

"Poor thing." Chaeng said comforting me with a pat on the head but I ducked before she could.

"How many times have I told you, don't touch my bangs!" I growled at her which Chaeng  replied with her tongue.

"I spend my morning fixing it." I grumbled.

"Yeah when you let me eat alone for breakfast." She backfired.

"You're the one who takes so long to get ready." I argued back.

Chaeng rolled her eyes and we both cracked up at ourselves.
