Regrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 30

As days went by, everything gradually fell into place. Jennie immersed herself in her work, handling the daily pressures of her demanding responsibilities.

During this time, Jennie encountered V a couple of times in the building with Jisoo, who mentioned they were working together on a commercial project. After all, she contacted V several times but no matter how she tried to call him and sort things out, he decline the call, ignoring her. Jennie didn't understand his sudden change in behavior. It was unusual for him, especially after he had confessed their past to Lisa. V's abrupt shift in attitude puzzled and hurt her.

She hated the feeling she had now, the thoughts of V trying to keep his distance from her. She didn't like the idea, it only made her want to talk to him.

Jennie was determined to find out what had caused his change but she couldn't even think of any other way to get things sort with V.

Irene and Suelgi was in the middle of browsing through thier phone looking for a perfect place for Jennie's birthday when Seulgi phone rang. Seeing Lisa's name on the screen, she quickly answered.

"Hey, man! What's up?"

"Suelgi. I need you to make a change of plans for Jennie's birthday," Lisa's voice sounded urgent but excited. "We're going to celebrate in our house. I want it to be a big surprise for Jennie," Lisa explained. "I've already arranged for a professional decorator to make the house look elegant and presentable. I trust you to handle the rest. I'll be back from Jeju before the party starts, but I need to finish my final schedule here first."

"Got it, Lisa. Don't worry, we'll take care of everything," Seulgi reassured her.

After hanging up, Seulgi quickly called a meeting with Jennie's friends Irene and Wendy, as well as her friends Rosé, Bambam, Jackson and Hanbin. They gathered at a cozy café to discuss the plan.

"So, here's the deal," Seulgi began, after everyone had settled down. "Lisa wants us to celebrate Jennie's birthday at their house. She's already hired a professional decorator, so we need to handle the rest."

"That sounds exciting!" Irene exclaimed. "We need to make sure everything is perfect."

"I'll coordinate with the decorator and oversee the setup," Seulgi said. "Irene, Rosé and Wendy, can you handle the food and drinks? Bambam and Hanbin, you can take care of the entertainment and additional decorations."

"Absolutely," Wendy agreed. "We'll make sure the food is top-notch. Jennie loves a good feast."

"I'll handle the drinks and music," Jackson added. "We need a great playlist to set the mood."

"And I'll find some beautiful flowers to add an extra touch of elegance," Bambam chimed in.

With everyone assigned their tasks, the group dispersed to start preparing. Seulgi called the professional decorator to discuss Lisa's vision and ensure everything was on track. The decorator assured her that the house would look stunning and ready for a grand celebration.

Wendy and Rosé visited a high-end bakery to order a custom cake and selected a variety of gourmet dishes they knew Jennie would love. Irene curated a playlist of Jennie's favorite songs, making sure the music would enhance the party atmosphere.

Bambam scoured the city's flower shops for the most beautiful arrangements, carefully choosing bouquets that would complement the house's décor.
