Unwritten (Chaennie G!P)

Part 6

Roseanne's POV

The restaurant was busy, as usual on a late Wednesday morning. I was shorting the dishwasher and my manager Irene was getting on my nerves. She was a great manager but I was too tired to deal with her annoying laugh. And she kept laughing. It wasn't usually a big deal but I was so tired from the night before. I didn't drink a lot at Lisa's, but it was enough to make waking up harder than normal. The worst part was I had to pick up Ella after work. I loved seeing my princess, so it wasn't that big of a deal. I was going to want to nap though.

I was at the stove putting together a crème brulee French toast plate when Irene came to the back, where she wasn't allowed when we were open. The last thing I needed was for her to slip and fall or get burned.

"What can I do for you Irene?" I knew she wanted something. She had that look on her face.

"You have a visitor," she told me. "Jisoo is here."

Which meant Jennie was probably with her... I didn't need to think about that. Jennie wasn't into me.

"Is she here to eat?" I asked.

"Looks like it. She's looking at a menu and has two glasses of water in front of her, but she's alone."

"Okay. Did she tell you to tell me she's here?" From what I'd been told Irene had a crush on me. I wasn't so sure.

"I just thought I'd tell you. Is her meal going to be comped again?"

"Isn't it always?" Jisoo and Lisa didn't come into the cafe often; it wasn't a big deal to comp meals for my best friend and her wife. "Whose section is she in?"

"Somi's," Irene answered. They would be in good hands with Somi.

"Thanks, Irene," I said, shooing her out of the kitchen. I finished plating the French toast before I got back to work on the next order. It took a few minutes... more like twenty before I was done. We had a new order up but I left it to Mina, telling her I'd be back in a few minutes.

By the time I walked out of the kitchen it looked like Jennie had shown up as well. The girls had coffee in front of them. Jisoo looked concerned while Jennie looked like she was close to tears. Uh oh.

"Uh, am I interrupting?" I asked as I approached and pulled a chair out to take a seat. My feet were tired.

Jennie shook her head and sipped her coffee.

"Mama drama," Jisoo supplied.

I nodded. I'd had my own issues with my mom but nothing near as bad as what Jennie was probably going through. Instead of commenting on it I asked, "Have you girls ordered? Is Somi treating you well?"

"Yep. She just walked away." I nodded again.

"How are you feeling?" I asked Jennie.

"Been better," she answered. I noticed there was a bruise forming on the right side of her face.

I started to reach out to touch it, but quickly pulled my hand back. "Um, what happened to your face?" She didn't have that bruise when she passed out the night before.

"Hangover and a lack of coordination," she replied.

"Been there," I chuckled. "I once stepped on a Lego, hopped around on one foot, which is a sight at this height, and then tripped over the end table. I broke the table, my toe, and had a puncture from the Lego. I also got a knot on my head from the wall when I hit it."

"So you hit the jackpot too," Jennie said. The corner of her mouth lifted just a fraction of an inch. She was still cute even with a swollen jaw.

"You have no idea. I had a four-year-old giggling like a loon as she watched the whole thing transpire. I didn't talk to Lisa for a month after that since she's the one that got her the Legos." It was my fault for not paying attention. I still blamed her.
