"Of course. No problem." she answered and then smiled.

"Thank you, Juchu." Jennie said and then looked at me.

I looked at Jisoo.

"Are you sure you don't have things to do and I'm taking your time just because of my whim? Because I can wait until JenJen has time, there's no rush, really."

"No." Jisoo answered. "It's fine with me, unless you don't wanna go with me." she laughed.

"No, I mean, yes." I shook my head. "I mean, thank your for taking me."

"Jichu loves that place, I'm sure she's delighted. She can give you the tour." Jennie joked.

"And it'll be my pleasure." she laughed and showed every white pearl that formed her smile, in which, for only a fraction of second, I got lost.

"Thank you." I muttered and turned back to look at the TV again.

The fact scared me a little, I diverted my attention from my best friend and her girlfriend on purpose, due to the reaction the thought had produced and started thinking about it. Why did I find Jisoo so attractive? She was, but what I really wondered was: why everything about her caused a weird feeling in me? I looked out of the corner of my eye at the happy couple behind me and could see Jisoo's smile being thrown at Jennie. Then I came to an easy conclusion. I was delighted by her. Of course, she was the prettiest girl I've ever met in my whole life. I laughed discretely. Jennie sure was lucky.

"Wanna stay for dinner?" Jennie asked, after a while. "You know? I got an idea with Lisa today. Why don't we four go out some day? Us three and Rosé." she explained, without waiting for her girlfriend to answer the first question.
"No, Jendeukie, I can't stay. Family dinner's happening tonight." she made a small frown which was immediately replaced with that beautiful smile of hers. "And about us four going out sounds explendid, I'll tell Chae today."

Should I be worried? I knew Jennie hid very deep inside of her the idea of detring me up with someone, but come to think of it... How bad could it be? I mean we're talking about Jisoo's sister. I'm sure she's beautiful as well.

"See you tomorrow, I'll come with you good luck before you go," Jisoo said to her girlfriend and then kissed her forehead.

"Thanks, Unnie."

"Lisa," I turned around to look at Jisoo when I heard my name. "We have many things to do tomorrow, hope you won't get tired." Jisoo smiled.

Suddenly, the feeling of excitement came rushing though my body, making its way around the caged little creature.

"See you tomorrow," i muttered and returned the smile.

Jennie and Jisoo went to the door to where they spent more than five minutes to say goodbye; I tried not to think of it, because after all, their way of saying goodbye was not of my concern.

After I heard the door close, Jennie sat beside me and sighed.

"Isn't she perfect?" she asked.

"What is?" I inquired, confused.

"I laughed, but didn't say anything. Even when Jennie had asked me I couldn't say what I thought. Yes, she was perfect, but for some reason, my mouth couldn't say those words in front of my friend.

"What time are you leaving tomorrow?" I asked.

"Six."

"P.m.?"

"A.m."

My eyes opened wide and looked at her.

"Six a.m.? and when are you coming back?"

"I don't know," she muttered and then frowned. "The hospital is kind of far away, I may be here at five p.m."

"But they're only gonna interview you, why would you take that long?"

"Because if they accept me, I'll have to stay so that they measure my capabilities or something like that." she shrugged.

"I'm gonna miss you," I pouted.

Jennie laughed.

"You'll miss me more if I get the job, 'cause I'll be out 'till eight." she laughed again and this time i joined her.

"Unnie, I'm tired, I'll go to bed now." I said.

"So soon? But it's only eight."

"Eight forty," I corrected. "and yes, I'm very tired, and I wanna sleep."

Well, of what I had said, only the first part was true since I was scared of having the same nightmare tonight.

"Alright. Goodnight!"

"Night!" I got up from the coach and walked to my room.

"Ah! Tomorrow, you have to wake up early," Jennie announced. "Jichu will come before I leave and then get you to the Banpo Bridge."

I stopped before entering the room.

"Great!." i mumbled and smiled.

I walked into my room and got ready to sleep, I laid down on the soft bed and covered myself with the sheets. I kept my gaze on the roof, everything being completely dark around me and could hear the sound coming out of the TV in the living room.

I could feel the enthusiasm grow every passing minute, tomorrow I'd go to the famous Bampo Bridge, a place where I had been wanting to go ever since Jennie decided to come back to Korea; but there was another reason to feed that enthusiasm and it was that I'd have a good time with Jisoo. But I still didn't know why that idea excited me.
