People get tired of climbing a few steps whereas Jennie didn't give up even when she fell down, even when her body was begging her to pause and take a deep breath.
She reached the fifth floor and pulled the heavy door open using all her strength. Her body was exhausted yet she was moving. But when she entered the lobby, she was welcomed to the devastating truth.
She saw two making out at the door of the elevator. The man's back was facing her while he had pinned a lady at the elevator door socket.
The man's back? Jennie knew he was Vance Hays as she had seen him in the same outfit in the club. Without caring they were out in public, his hands were reaching and caressing the lady under her dress.
The dress? Jennie identified the layer of the dress that was on the arms of Vance Hays. She couldn't believe Grace Wells, who was cursing Vance with intense hatred, was letting him kiss her.
For a moment, Jennie thought Vance must be forcing on Grace Wells. That's how stupid and positive she was about her close friend, Grace Wells. However, it didn't take a split second for her to see the cruel reality. Grace let out carnal sounds in the silent lobby while wrapping her arms around Vance Hays.
Jennie at least deduced Vance Hays didn't come to the wedding because of Grace Wells, whereas the latter was actually with her in a bridesmaid dress.
It didn't cross her even once he was her ex-fiance and cheated her with her own close friend.
'You guys could have just told me you liked each other.' She thought. She would have happily let them be together even if her family would have thrown her out.
She wasn't in love with Vance Hays, she never would have coveted her friend's love.
Jennie felt Grace must have been guilty hence Grace wanted to take her out, make her feel alive and help her move on. Her innocent brain still didn't think anything fishy about the events that were happening with her for a few hours. That's how much she had trusted Grace and was even ready to forgive them for her suffering.
She guilelessly thought her suffering from the past few days was worth it if it was for the well-being of Grace Wells.
Probably her life and fate didn't have any mercy on her. Those didn't want her to breathe a sigh and relax.
Just when Jennie was thinking whether to talk to them or leave to give them privacy, they had broken the kiss, and Grace's pitiful voice filled with worry and concern reached her ears.
"Vance, what if Jennie takes the favor of Seungri and tries to get back from us? That's why I wanted a piece of proof so that I can keep you safe."
Jennie had frozen in shock, breath had clutched in her throat suffocating her lungs painfully. Her body went numb to all the physical pain whereas her heart had shattered. She vaguely heard their conversation while she didn't know what to even think.
She stumbled back to the darkness of the lobby still trying to digest nothing was a coincidence. Everything happened as they planned against her.
She didn't know when she had entered back the fire exit and collapsed on the floor. She felt no energy while she tried to think about what she did to Grace and Vance? What was her mistake?
'H-how could she do this to me?' Jennie thought before she burst into tears biting her hand. She knew if she makes a sound, Vance and Grace would do anything to send her back to the businessman Seungri.
She cried hard, she wept her heart out. She didn't stop even when she tasted the metallic in her mouth. The flaming emotional pain was numbing her superficial pain. The cold floor failed to remind her about leaving from there.
