"No! It's Sunday, we have to go!"

"You're sick. Rosé will understand."

"I'm totally fine, Jennie."

Jennie pushed out an irritated breath, then pressed her lips together and looked away from the sick woman. She almost rolled her eyes when loud cough spilled out of Lisa's mouth but stopped herself by taking in a deep breath. Yeah. So much for being totally fine. "Lisa, I'm telling you–"

"You know, you don't have to go if you don't want to. I'll go by myself then."

This time, Jennie couldn't stop her eyes from rolling. "Don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not being ridiculous," Lisa hugged after clearing her throat. "I'm feeling better, so let's just go."

"Why are you so intent on going?" Jennie shook her head as Lisa left the living room without another word and followed her into the bedroom, where she began to rip out clothes from her closet. "Lisa, I'm talking to you."

"I'm not talking to you though, Jennie." She snapped sharply, turning to glare at the smaller woman who really had no idea how to deal with her right now. Jennie's teeth took a hold of her lip, her eyes dropping to the floor. A sigh was heard. "Look. I just want to go. I feel better today so there's no reason for me to cancel. Got it?"

This time, it was Jennie's turn to stay quiet. Her eyes lifted timidly when quiet footsteps made their way over to her, meeting Lisa's green ones very hesitantly. The two women stared at each other for a moment before Jennie gave in with a small sigh. "I got it. If you're sure..."

With a nod, Lisa turned away from her and dedicated her clothes her full attention again.

Jennie bit the inside of her cheek and looked to the side when a string of vicious coughs tumbled out of Lisa's mouth, the woman trying to muffle them into the inside of her elbow, "Sorry." She croaked out after her coughs subsided and Jennie turned back towards her, lips pressed together.

Jisoo cracked a smile at the sick woman sitting across from her. "No problem."

It took all of Jennie's effort not to grab Lisa right then and there, bundle her up in her jacket and take her home this instant. She bit her tongue, refraining herself from proposing even the thought of getting her home, when Rosé stuck her head into the room, blue eyes settling on Jennie. "Hey Jennie, could you help me with something?"

"Yeah, sure."

Some weird sort of relief came over Jennie as she got up from her seat on the sofa, leaving Lisa alone with Jisoo. At least she didn't have to witness Lisa coughing out her soul, without being able to utter a single word because she knew exactly that Lisa would just get mad again.

So she gladly began to cut carrots when Rosé asked her to, her attention focusing on the blade piercing through the orange vegetable and being careful not to get her cast dirty.

"She's pretty sick, huh?" Rosé jutted her thumb in the direction of the living room, her eyebrows raised. Jennie sighed, nodded her head and kept cutting carrots. "Yeah. I've been telling her to stay home but she refused to listen."
