Entanglement

Seven

You both got home early the next morning, as hard as you tried Jennie wouldn’t tell you anything about this girl she was in love with- she made it pretty clear that she didn’t want to talk about it no matter what you did to try and convince her. Even though it hurt you, you wanted to find out about this girl, you’d never seen Jennie so emotional, that night the alcohol had melted her frozen heart and it awoke something further in you, seeing Jennie be emotional made you feel different, it was something you wanted to see more of but Jennie had already crawled back into her hard shell, not willing to let you back in.

‘Uh well we’re home now’ Jennie sighed picking up the post on their doorstep, things have been awkward between you since last night ‘do you want me to make you some food?’

‘No I’m fine’ You replied opening the door and walking into the familiar penthouse, the familiarity made you feel relief, especially since Jennje had seemed so unfamiliar lately.

‘There’s a letter for us’ Jennje held up a fancy patterned envelope titled Dear Mrs & Mrs Jung-Kim and handed it to you who ripped it opened promptly, inside there was an invitation- Rosie and Lisa's valentines day engagement party; great.

‘This looks like fun’ You sarcastically stated throwing it down onto the counter ‘at least I don’t have to stress too much about making valentines plans for Rosie’

‘You still haven’t spoken to Rosé yet?’

‘Nope but I am planning to’

‘You need to stop putting it off’ You could see Jennie shift uncomfortably, you had the underlying feeling she was hiding something but you brushed it off, she was probably still shaken from last night

‘I know but I don’t really want to after a long flight, I will rest and then try to call her’ You sighed your head aching, to you Rosé was only an after thought ‘enough about my sad relationship, since its valentines soon how about you send that girl some flowers or something’

‘I told you to stop bringing that up, I was drunk and talked too much- I am trying to get over her’ Jennie seemed angry at the intrusion of the topic ‘and we now have plans on valentines day so I cant be chasing some girl’

‘Don’t tell me you actually want to go to Rosie’s engagement party’

‘I do, I think it will be fun, she came to our wedding so its only fair we go to her events, even if its hard for you to see her marrying someone else’

‘To me it just seems like more faking our loving perfect marriage, I don’t think I have the energy to do that, I’d much rather tell Rosie I’m not feeling well and stay home’

‘As much as I love to play hospitals, we’re going, to be supportive of Rosé'

‘I hate you’ you furrowed your brows, you really didn’t want to go to this especially if it meant you were going to have to be around people, you didn’t know anything about the girl Jennie loved, what if she was there? You knew how it felt to be ignored all night, you didn’t want to be ghosted by both Rosé and Jennie, the need to know was killing you

‘Now I need to get to work, I don’t have any time to rest’ Jennie stood up and started to walk out, leaving you behind her

‘When do I need to start? Since we’ll be working together’

‘Um whenever you want but remember-‘

‘Don’t stress yourself- I know you’ve told me a hundred times’ You laughed ‘I think I’ll go in briefly today to sort out some stuff and then I’ll catch up with you later to discuss the hotels?’
