Unwritten (Chaennie G!P)

Part 3

Jennie's POV

I wasn't stupid. I knew what Roseanne thought when she looked at me. She presumed that I was just some snobby rich kid in the midst of a tantrum. I suppose it could be seen that way but that was oversimplifying things. More than once I'd seen people haul out the world's tiniest violin when I was having problems, as if somehow having money wiped the slate clean all the time.

It didn't.

In fact, having the kind of money I came from often meant I had a completely different set of problems to deal with. I was guarded because I didn't know who was approaching me just because they were hoping I would become their piggy bank. I didn't have to marry Taehyung for his money. My own trust fund was significant. In fact, we had even signed prenuptial agreements at the insistence of both of our parents.

Had to protect the family fortunes.

I could concede that I was a little spoiled. My parents had raised me to have high standards and accept nothing below them. So while Roseanne might have thought I was a snotty bitch for balking at the offer to be a waitress, I didn't care. Going by the standards my parents had raised me to have, it was beneath me.

Plus, one look at her and I knew the reason she'd come to talk to me was because she was checking me out. Like I said, I wasn't stupid.

Jisoo's house was gorgeous. Not quite as fancy as I was used to, but nice all the same. She was right on the beach and there were pretty views from just about every room in the house. My room overlooked the street, but there was a little living area just outside of my room with a panoramic window and the sunsets were breathtaking. If the sunsets looked like that in New York maybe my life would be different.

That probably wasn't true.

I was lounging on a chaise in a blue and white striped bikini when Jisoo got home from wherever she'd been. She was already gone when I woke up that morning, probably at yoga or something like that.

"Hey," I smiled up at her.

"Hey, how are you doing?" she smiled back.

"Alright. I took my car by the shop and everything checked out just fine." It was a barely used Infiniti SUV but I just wanted to make sure everything was fine. One never knew with dealers if they were being completely honest about their inspections. "I met Lisa's friend Roseanne. She said we met before but I don't remember meeting her."

"Oh yeah, it was when you and Taehyung came out for that week after Lisa and I got back from our honeymoon. She was the one with the little girl that wouldn't let her put her down at that little dinner party," she said.

I searched my memory but it wasn't ringing any bells for me.

"Nope, I have no idea who that was," I told her. "Apparently she didn't make much of an impression."

"Not surprised. She was going through a divorce and dealing with child custody issues. She stayed pretty quiet since Ella was being so clingy," she shrugged. "She's a great person though."

"Really? Seemed like a bit of an asshole to me," I told her.

"Huh, that's actually surprising. She's usually really sweet," she replied.

"Maybe I caught her on an off day," I shrugged. I wasn't going to worry about it. It's not like I planned on spending a ton of time with her anyway.

"Could be. Do you want to hang out here, or run with me to get some coffee and pick up something to make for dinner?" she asked. "I want to go to the farmer's market."

"I'll go with you. It would be nice to see more of the city," I said. I wasn't that great with directions and driving around by myself, even with the GPS made me a little nervous I was going to get hopelessly lost. The fact that I made it to California in one piece was nothing short of a miracle.
