From Day One | JENSOO

Chapter 6

Lust isn't spelled backwards.

Jisoo wrote down a few words on her paper before folding it and flipping to a new page in the book she was holding. The library was one of her favorite places at school. It was quiet and peaceful and—

"I'm looking for a book on Kama Sutra. Do you guys have anything like that here?"

The book slipped in Jisoo's hands but she kept it from dropping. A student passing by gave them a double take and Jisoo wanted to hide under her book.

"You couldn't say that any louder could you?" Jisoo hissed, bringing Rosé closer so that she wouldn't have to speak so loud.

"Mm, this is hot. We've never done it in a library before."

Rosé hooked her fingers in Jisoo's belt loops and pulled until Jisoo collided into her. "And we never will. Stop."

The word came out halfhearted and Rosé saw it as consent.

"How did you even know I was here?" Jisoo asked in an attempt to start a conversation so they wouldn't be caught making out by someone.

"Jinyoung. You should really teach him some common sense. This is the fifth time I've fooled him."

Jisoo sometimes wondered if Rosé really understood what kind of affect she had on boys (and some girls). A flip of her hair and a smile was all they needed for them to do anything she asked. Jinyoung wasn't an exception despite being tricked by Rosé so many times.

"Okay, enough. We are not doing this in a library," Jisoo said, taking out Rosé's hand from under her shirt.

"Fine." Rosé took a large step from Jisoo. She was such a hot and cold person sometimes. "Can I come over tonight? Sooyoung has her disgusting pig of a boyfriend coming over and I'm not going to be able to fall asleep with all their grunting."

Jisoo smiled to herself; Rosé never really understood the concept of too much information.

"I don't mind."

"Great. We'll continue this later."

Rosé left, but not before giving Jisoo one of those very short but ardent kisses that always made Jisoo forget where she was for a second or two. Jisoo leaned on the book shelf and tried to remember what she was doing before Rosé appeared.

She went to the next shelf and put her book back. With all the free time she had as a senior she sometimes helped out the staff and rearranged any books that were out of place. While she was switching some of them she saw Jennie on the opposite side through a gap in the shelf.

"Need any help?"

Jennie looked around, not knowing where the voice was coming from but eventually found Jisoo's face next to a thick encyclopedia.

"Not really. To tell you the truth, I don't know why I'm here."

Jennie's literature class went to the library to research their authors for a paper they had to write but she was sure they had left already.

"Well, the library's a good place for wanderers. It doesn't judge," Jisoo told her, smiling like she didn't have a care in the world. It reminded Jennie of the same smiles Jisoo used to give her when they were younger and about to do something that ended with one of them grounded for a week.

"Jisoo, are you finished over there? Because we need you in the back." Jisoo straightened and turned to the librarian.

"I'll be right there."

She peeked through the books again. "Sorry, but I got to go."

"Wait, you took World History last year, right?"
