ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

A HELPING HAND (18)

Jennie was totally exhausted by the workload. This project, households, Taehyung's fever...everything was already dragging her down, and now Namjoon was also busy in talking with Seokjin for past half an hour. Handling everything was getting overwhelming for her.

- ' Damn it! Where are the metal wires now? Ugh....whenever I'm finding something, it's gone. '
- ' Ahem..'
Jennie turned back and found Lisa.
- ' Oh...Lisa..you? '
- ' I was just passing by, and you looked frustrated. Need help? '
Jennie gave a tired smile
- ' It's okay...I..can manage. '
- ' You don’t look like you can. '
Jennie sighed and looked down. Lisa observed her, then said
- ' Wait a moment here. I'll be back.'
With that, she walked away. Jennie couldn’t understand anything, but she got back to work.

- ' Noona?'
Jennie looked back as she heard Jimin's voice and found that not only Jimin, Lisa  has brought Chaeyoung and Jisoo, too.
- ' We heard you're in trouble? Well..we don't know much of your work , but we can follow instructions...right everyone?'
Jisoo said and others nodded cheerfully.
- ' So, what can we do? '
Chaeyoung said with a sweet smile and Jennie smiled back.
- ' You...seriously want to help me? '
- ' Obviously eonni...we don't have any works to do. This would be fun! '
- ' Uh..okay..then Jimin, please go to that white table and bring those files here. Jisoo eonnie, gather all unnecessary trashes in that bag. Chaeyoung, help Jisoo eonnie....and Lisa, take these papers from me and hand me one by one when I'll tell. Clear everyone?'
Everyone nodded and went to their works as Lisa helped Jennie with the paperworks.

- ' Thank you..'
Jennie said with a smile, this time it was  not that much tired...and Lisa did something she never does. She smiled back...

- " She should smile often...her smile is beautiful.. "

Jennie thought as she shifted her gaze back to papers.

- ' Eonnie?'
Chaeyoung whispered to Jisoo
- ' Hmm?'
- ' Lisa is acting weird, right?'
- ' Why?'
- ' She's being sweet and helping to someone other than us! It's so not her.'
Jisoo glanced at Lisa and Jennie, who were working and talking at the same time.
- ' Well...Jennie is a nice lady. Maybe that's why. '
- ' Hope so...'
- ' Why? You think something else?'
Jisoo said, raising her eyebrow
- ' Uh...no...not really. Let's finish this work.'
- ' Yes..'
With a pause, Jisoo added
- ' Well...Chaeyoung... '
- ' Yes? '
- ' This new clothes suits you. You sould take some of them with you when we'll go back. '
Chaeyoung stared at her for a while, then said, fumbling
- ' Oh...I...uh..thank you...I..will. '
Jisoo smiled and concentrated on work...but Chaeyoung's concentration was long gone....not gone actually, shifted...from work, to the Princess besides her.

The cold butler is helping now!

On the other hand, seems like the two Princesses are something more than friends....
