"mom.." jisoo mutters.

jennie looked back at her with even more widened eyes now. "mom?" she whispered slowly. she was also met with jisoo's unreadable face; it wasnt really blank but her expression couldnt be specified either. so it was safe to say that jennie was taken aback.

but before jennie could make herself do anything about it, jisoo was already moving to get out of the jeep.

"how long has this been going on for?" minjung asked in a surprised tone, while looking at jisoo.

"when did you get back?" jisoo countered making jennie look at her weirdly. jennie knows its not her imagination that she thinks jisoo's whole demeanor changed ever since her eyes met with her mom's.

"dont change the topic, jisoo." she said warningly. jennie was internally squirming in her seat, her mom found out about them, oh god. she shouldn't feel so thrilled about it.

bad jennie.

"dont interfere with my life, dad's wife." jennie eyes quickly shot up to jisoo in shock.

bad jisoo exclamation mark exclamation mark.

"jisoo!" she whisper-yelled.

that seemes to do it as jisoo shifted, uncomfortably, in her seat while side eyeing jennie. she sighed and looked down between her legs not acknowledging her mother's presence at all (including her teary eyes). right. she shouldn't behave like that infront of jennie, that was not fair for jennie.

"its been four days." jisoo looked back at minjung in the eye.

"you never.." minjung started.

(a very) uncomfortable silence filled jisoo's apartment. minjung trailed off after her two words and was holding her head very low. jisoo didnt seem to try to fill the silence, too, as well as jennie, who thought that it wasnt her place to speak.

jennie, very hurriedly, took jisoo's mother's appearance in, that as of now the initial shock of being 'caught' had died down.

jisoo's mother seemed like a very expensive woman to jennie, although it was clear that she came here straight from the airport she still looked lush. wearing a plain black jumpsuit that had a chanel logo-ed belt at the center of it, and a waist length grey shaded jacket that covered the upper part of the jumpsuit just made the look more fierce. a white satin scrunchie tying her healthy dark drown hair back in a loose ponytail were the highlight of the look for jennie.

sure the fashion sense ran in blood, yes.

"and whats your name, miss? are you with jisoo for money?" hilarious.

jennie quickly stood up and bowed 90 degrees to address her girlfriend's mother. "jennie kim." intentionally ignoring the last part.

as soon as the brunette recovered from the bow, she felt jisoo's large hand wrap around her tiny fisted one. she felt jisoo's shoulder brush against her, too, as the raven came to stand beside her; now just 3 steps infront of jisoo's mother, who stood dashingly leant against the dining table. taking note of everything happening before her.

jennie's breathing hitched, as she gasped quitely, for a moment after registering the contact between her and jisoo.. but was interrupted when minjung spoke again.

she shouldn't feel like this! they made out for gods sake!

"i dont know what to say.." she rubbed her forehead with her index finger and thumb, in a slow manner. such that the person infront of her could instantly feel guilty of their actions, but not jennie. jennie did nothing wrong..
