From Day One | JENSOO

Chapter 16

Have you lost your mind, or she has taken all of yours too?

Jennie wound her hands into fists as she stood in front of the window, watching the pool. The sun had risen but Jennie had woken up earlier than that when she heard odd splashing sounds coming from outside. The splashes were caused by Jisoo who apparently had decided to go for a morning swim.

The other day Jisoo had asked Jennie if it was alright to use the pool. Jennie all but pushed Jisoo into the water and told her it was fine, of course. Yet Jisoo's schedule never gave her more than thirty minutes of free time so Jennie didn't go around waiting for Jisoo.

The distance shrunk Jisoo's body significantly and Jennie traced the girl's figure on the glass as Jisoo stepped out of the pool and dried herself with a towel.

It was absurd how she was lusting after Jisoo so much. She had always admired Hanbin's body, but  that might have been because she was trained by the world to love a body like his.

Jisoo constantly made her feel like a runner at a start line waiting for the gun shot. Jennie was ready to expend all her pent up energy and Jisoo was just sitting there with her finger on the trigger.

When Jisoo disappeared inside the pool house Jennie flung herself onto the bed and screamed into her pillow.

She had always been the impatient type, always hated to wait, always hated when she couldn't get what she wanted, when she wanted it. Jisoo was making her do all three.

It wasn't often that Jisoo went to class but when she did, she did her best in staying awake and being attentive. However, doing her best didn't pan out for her sometimes and she would find the swaying grass outside the classroom's window more interesting than her teacher.

She was being entertained by two squirrels running around and chasing each other when the intercom came on with a buzzed static.

"Kim Jisoo, please report to the administration office. Your cousin is here to pick you up."

Jisoo stayed still in her seat as the intercom's buzz died. Her classmates and teacher turned quiet and looked at her. It made no sense, because the only cousin Jisoo knew about was Jinyoung.

With a bit of confusion stalling her she packed up her books and bag and exited the classroom as the teacher began lecturing again.

She entered the office and was about to tell the secretary that there must have been a mistake when a hand slid around her waist.

"Hey cous'," Rosé purred. "I'm here to take you to that dentist appointment." The secretary peered at them from above her glasses at their curious affection. "Oh, right. Dentist. I forgot," Jisoo said with a slow nod.

Rosé thanked the secretary and led Jisoo outside. The woman kept staring when Rosé patted Jisoo's butt as they walked down the hall.

"You know I can get into serious trouble if they find out you're not my cousin. Why'd you take me out of class anyway?"

Jisoo removed Rosé's hand while the girl responded.

"How can you complain when I just helped you ditch with a good excuse?"

It was pure coincidence Rosé had bumped into Jennie the other day and to avoid suspicion she thought it'd be best to wait a few days before going back to the school. She had wanted to see Jisoo all along but seeing Jennie had been a good opportunity for them to get closer. Closer by Rosé's standards, that is.

Rosé's car beeped as she unlocked it and slid inside. Jisoo stood in front of the passenger's seat  and looked back at the school.

"Get in the car, Soo. Or do I have to kidnap you? I can use that rope that you liked whe—"
