Eyes Of Yours

Chapter 2

Hearts

After the incident Jisoo made an excuse for her to leave. Jennie stayed quiet and doesn't want to overthink. A lot of questions had been occupying her head since then.

It's been three days since she last saw her best friend. She contacted her but Jisoo ask her to leave her alone for some time. Now sitting in her usual place, the brunette is busy clicking her pen making small noises that she can only hear.

Jennie's attention is on the board in front of them but her mind is one with the wind. She's so lost that she didn't realize that her Professor called her name a couple of times. The blonde beside her poke her cheeks. "Jen, Mr. Nam is calling you".

She immediately stood up and point her gaze at the Man. " uh-I.." embarrassment reached Jennie's face as the man only looked at her emotionless. " You're not paying attention " the brunette bite her lower lip and bowed down her head a little. The Professor told her to sit down, the man continue writing some pointers.

" luck has been by your side earlier " Jennie chuckled at Chaeyoung's statement. Opening up her locker, the blonde spoke again. " It's been days, and I haven't seen Jisoo?"

" Their family went somewhere," Jennie said carefully, not wanting to spoil any information about Jisoo's whereabouts.

"Chae!" an unfamiliar voice came from the blonde's direction. Unbothered Jennie didn't even glimpse at the newcomer. " Glad I found you!, being with- oh hi there " the brunette felt a fresh presence behind her " I'm Seulgi " Jennie faced her and scanned her from head to toe. " uhm-I'm Chae's friend, but I can be your friend too!" The brown-haired girl wearing a mandarin-colored shirt and denim jeans smiled with her perfect white teeth. This one is more energetic than Chaeyoung, probably will just cause me a headache Jennie thought.

Nevertheless, Jennie accepted Seulgi's hand for formality. " I'm Jennie "

" Nice to meet you Jennie, Chae? the little devil is looking for you " Seulgi's now talking to the blonde who's busy eating a cupcake. Chaeyoung only agreed with Seulgi. Where on earth did that cupcake come from Jennie asked herself in confusion. The whole time she's with the blonde she never saw her holding anything.

" I'll go now " Jennie didn't wait for anyone's approval and let her feet decide for her. As Jennie walked at the parking lot thunders made her jump a bit. It will rain and she was right, droplets of water escaped from the clouds and claimed their freedom.

The brunette waited for the rain to touch her skin as she feels free too. But it didn't happen. Thinking that the droplets were just an illusion just looked up and saw nothing but yellow.

" You'll get soaked and be sick Miss " destiny seems entertained by the situation that for a moment everything stopped for Jennie to appreciate the siren sound.

A taller figure standing behind her almost invading her personal space. She fully turned her body around to face the owner of the umbrella. Without hesitation, she search the owner's eyes and went lost in them.

The defending silence surrounded them, one heart beats faster than normal, and one has stopped. Two different perspectives but shares one feeling.

How?

Who?

Why?

Both minds blurted.

A small world that had been created for a short period of time also ended right away, as the taller one held the brunette's hand and guided it to hold the handle of the umbrella.

Without uttering a word she left. Never mind the rain she walked. Not answering questions, she avoids. Dumbfounded and still lost, Jennie tighten her grip at the handle, for it's the only thing left by the person who enchanted her. On the other side, the fabric was drenched in water, making it heavier. However, it can't be compared to how much heavy the emotion she has at the moment. Her heart is drunk with foreign affection. I only wanted to offer her my umbrella and not my stupid heart. She said to herself.

When she reached her so-called abode, she did her best to forget what happened, and she was able to do it. In a snap, her head towards the girl was no longer lingering in her mind. Except for her abnormally beating heart. As she closes her pair of orbs. Another pair opens.

" Jennie are you still there?" She hums, forcing herself to sit. Her father is on the other line, calling her to have some updates.

" I told you why not study here in Australia? " Jennie sighed, her father is persistent in perusing to study abroad.

" Dad, I said I don't want to.. " in a tired tone she replies. Jennie put's the call on speaker. She's now facing her shelf where some pictures are displayed.

" Honey, you know my work is here and of course, I want to spend with you too, but I can't leave Sydney " she keeps listening to her father's explanations while her eyes are rooming around the images.

" you're been distanced from me since your mom left us Rubyjane. I'm still here, you're father is still alive and missing you " Jennie smiled and grabbed the picture frame that she and her mother can be seen. The elegant and breathing Jannie Kim is hugging the young and all smiley Jennie.

" I'm sorry appa" tears of loneliness and regrets raced their way to her cheeks. Jennie used her hands not to wipe her tears but to wipe the dust covering the picture.

" It's not your fault Princess, and please think about my suggestion okay? I need to go " the call ended and so as Jennie's tears. She misses her Mom, she wants to be always beside her. To feel her warmth, to hear her giggles.

Laying down in bed she forced herself to sleep. For her, it's a way of escaping reality.

Someday we will meet again.

And for the first time, she slept with her thoughts that are not for her Mom, but for someone who made her heart skip a beat.
