Things We Do For Love

Chapter 13

Jennie's POV

"Ma'am, I think you should stop now," the bartender said as he took the glass from my grip. "Who came here with you? I'll give them a call."

"Kim Jisoo," I whispered softly while trying to fix my gaze.

"What?" He leaned closer to hear what I was saying.

"Jisoo.. Kim Jisoo," I said once again but this time, with a louder voice. He seemed surprised but he nodded anyway, taking his phone to call her. Jisoo doesn't even drink yet this bartender knows her number, that's fishy.

After a while of waiting, I began to lose hope when there was still no sign of her. Knowing that she's not coming, I struggled to stand up from my seat in the counter and walked to the door, only to stumble on a stupid chair. However, before I dropped to the hard ground, I felt a pair of slender arms wrap around my waist, saving me from the fall.

"Chu," I called as I stared at her with longing eyes. She simply smiled before carrying me out of the bar, thanking the staffs as she walked out. My vision was blurry but somehow, I made it possible to focus on her facial features. She's still as lovely as always.

I laid my head comfortably on her shoulders, feeling the warmth of her presence once again. Slowly closing my eyes, I sniffed her familiar scent which eventually drugged me to sleep, while her stable heartbeat was my lullaby. If this is a fucking dream, don't ever wake me up.

***

I groaned as I woke up with a cruel headache. I tried to get up but I didn't have the energy so I slumped back on my comfy bed instead, recall in the events of last night.

I went out after having dinner with Chaeng, had a couple of drinks, then I was drunk and.. I gasped as I shot up from my bed, recalling how Jisoo carried me back to my room as I was so wasted last night. Oh my gosh, that was so embarrassing! Why would I call her out of all people I knew?!

However, although most of me is deadly ashamed of my own ass, a part of me is still celebrating in joy, knowing that Jisoo came for me last night. At least she still cares.

I reached for my phone on the nightstand and that's when I saw the bottle of water and a pill, laid carefully on top of a note. I lifted the water bottle to take the note, instantly recognizing it's Jisoo's handwriting.

'Take the pill when you wake up. Don't worry, it's not poison.'

I instantly smiled the moment I read her note. Even if this is poison, I'd still gladly drink it, given that it's from you. I took the pill and went straight to the shower, smiling bitterly, because I knew that I have to give up on her. She's getting married. I consoled myself by telling my mind that she finally found someone who can make her happy, someone who won't hurt her like I did. She desereves the best and I'm not it, I failed to be it. I sobbed quietly as I felt the warm water flow down my body, as if trying to wash my pain away, sadly it can't.

As I was having a moment in the shower, I finally made up my mind. I will talk to her, give us both the closure we need, and move on. I looked at the mirror one more time, breathing deeply, before finally heading out to find Jisoo. Sadly, I still don't have her new number so I can't really call her. I should've taken it from that bartender last night. Ugh, lucky jerk.

I was walking on the quiet hallways towards Jisoo's room when I saw Jin laughing with a girl that is not Jisoo. What the hell?! I hid myself from them and secretly followed their footsteps. I was still cool with them laughing at each other's cheesy jokes but what made me snap in an instant is when Jin kissed the girl. This fucking bastard.

I came out from hiding and pulled Jin away from the girl, surprising them both. However, the moment Jin laid his eyes on me, the jerk smirked mischievously, much to my great annoyance.
