I took a deep breath and headed towards the lobby where I see S'Chaengie leaning against the wall. She smiled as she noticed me, she noticed I looked around for sights of Chaeyoung and Jisoo.

"They headed back, do you mind grabbing a drink? I understand your emotions are all over the place. But, maybe if I explain things a bit, It would make sense." That was what she said, so now I'm sitting opposite S'Chaengie in a coffee shop.

"How have you been?" She started sipping on her coffee, a flashback of how much S'Chaengie liked coffee flashes in my mind. "I've been alright, what about you?" I smiled.

We we'ret close, but we weren't exactly not close either.

"I'm not gonna lie and say things are fine, nothing is fine, it's all been complicated. Chaeyoung came back on her own. Jisoo stoped searching for her after you cut off all contacts with us. We still send people to check up on you once in awhile." S'Chaengie sighed.

"Oh, nothing surprising." I pressed my lips in a thin line.

"They both of them have been in arguments all the time." S'Chaengie shook her head as she spoke. "About you." She added.

"Tough luck, I'm not interested to know." We both let out a chuckle at my sarcastic remark.

"You're boss?" S'Chaengie started. "Mr. Jung is Jeongyeon's uncle, Jeongyeon was originally supposed to take over, I didn't know what Chaeyoung was planning until I saw you. Jeongyeon saw you in the employee's list. Chaeyoung obviously freaked out, she was hiding it from Jisoo and got Jeongyeon's help to meet you. Jeongyeon who's a softie obviously helped. Chaeyoung dragged me all the way here saying there's a meeting to attend. It's a chaos."

I nooded listening. "What do you plan to do?" She asked.

I knew she was referring to Chaeyoung and Jisoo. "To be honest with you, I'm not ready for anything. She appeared out nowhere. I can't handle this, all the emotions are coming back." I replied.

S'Chaengie face softened. "Don't lock yourself in a room and cry anymore." She said.

I laughed, "I won't." Now we know that's a lie.

S'Chaengie's faced remained serious, "Come to me instead, Jennie."

"What did I do to deserve a friend like you." I joked.

"A friend is all you'll ever see me as?"

_____________

"I'm kidding." S'Chaengie chuckled as she saw me taken aback expression. "You know the longer you drag this, the more hurt you will be."

"You're telling to choose too?" I sighed.

"Yes but, not choose one of them, choose what you want and what you really need, what's best for you and what will make you happy. It doesn't matter what it is." She said as she took a look at her wrist watch. "I need to get going, we have a mission."

"How's the gang going?" I asked

"It's really making all of us busy." She said, I nodded and we exchanged numbers.

As she dropped me by my apartment I went up to spot Jisoo at the door. "You all are really creepy." I sighed.

"Why?" Jisoo laughed, "You can literally hurt me down and kill me." I replied. "Stop showing up like this." I sighed.

She looked down and paused for a moment. "May I come in?" She asked. I hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Drink?" I asked, "Nope I'm good." She answered before sitting down on the couch.

"I can see you been well." She smiled, dimples visible.

"Ah nah don't act like you haven't sent people to check on me from time to time." I smiled. "S'Chaengie told you?"

"No, it's just kinda obvious, I see the same man's car parked in front of my building all the time, isn't that suspicious, and him just being his car and driving away." I replied

"Jennie." She called out. "Yeah."

"Are you happy?" She asked. The question make me paused and think for a moment the smile on my face faded to a serious face.

"No, no I'm not." I answered after a few seconds of pausing.

"I can make you happy." She said. Hope obvious in her eyes.

"Jisoo, I love you, I really do, but not the same way as you love me, I love you as a sister and a friend. I really appreciate you looking out for me. However, I'm sorry I can't return the same feelings." I replied looking down at my lap, I didn't even have the courage to look at Jisoo.

"But.. then why did you give me hope?" Her voice cracked. I stayed silent.

"I'm sorry." A tear fell on my cheeks. "I'm really sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about, I just hope Chaeyoung makes you happy." Jisoo said, I could tell in her voice she was breaking apart. "Chaeyoung always win at last."

I finally find the courage to look up at her to see her eyes filled with tears, she quickly blinked them away. I smiled sadly before answering.

"No, not Chaeyoung."
