Jensoo - Heart Forecast

Part 8

Sooya's POV

As I look at the old photo of mum, I can't help myself feeling missing her. I'm a step closer now, I just need an opening to approach him, I can't just simply go to him and ask him about the lady with him in the old photo, right? They might be just an old friend, it might be a path that will ended with no clue. I rest my head on the chair, taking a long breath in and out, to clear my head.

"I know we make a deal to take turn to cook, but will you really just watching me? Not going to help at all?" Bohyun said and all those sappy thoughts gone from my head. "Did I make the suggestion, or you did?" I retort back to him. "I did.. you made your point, but still. Ehh it's better to talk with this spatula, talking to you anger me." He turns his back on my and proceed with cooking, I just smile victoriously watching him. We argue a lot, but he always the one that putting up with my stupidity and my mess.

When Jennie is on her break, I'm just helping with minor tasks at the company, it's safe to say it's a bit uptight, but it's not that hard actually. Seulgi is a big help, she tells us what to do for each artists, the dos and don'ts, how to deal with the paps and media. And she's friendly to me and Bohyun, to everyone actually, sometimes I feel like she's too comfortable with me, or maybe that's how she is.

Jennie's POV

I told Chaelisa about Sooya, and they're shocked. Still shocking, Rosé keep on reading Sooya's resume, can't believe her own eyes. The reason why I decided to tell them about Sooya is I'm afraid they will react as I did, when she's clearly a different person. If we don't behave, we might make her uncomfortable for keeping on mistaken her for someone else.

"Can we see her?" Rosé asked me. "Like.. now?" They can't be serious isn't it? "We promise we will behave ourselves. Just ask her to hang out here with us, just say it as a breaking the ice, welcoming introduction or whatever it is." Lisa tried to convince me. "Yup, Seulgi always stay here, so it's perfectly normal for a manager to hangout with her artist." Rosé said. "You do realize Seulgi is our friend right, not some random manager." I said to them. "Or.. you can ask Seulgi to bring her here."

After some this and that, we asked Seulgi to bring her over, and she's okay with that. But why am I being nervous right now? Should I apologize for slamming the door before her the other day? But why is she agree to meet with us, she's clearly don't talk to me that much last time. Nope, this is just a simple hangout, just get to know each other.

While eating the food that they bring over for us, I really hope I can slap Lisa right now. She's keep asking questions, nonsense questions to Sooya but she play along with Lisa. To sum it all, she talk more to Lisa than me, this is my house you know, she should talk to me more. I can see the bittersweet expression from Rosé, I know she hardly control herself right now. Seeing Sooya and Lisa talking and make silly jokes to each other really remind me of how Jisoo and Lisa used to be, Rosé must feel the same way. Seulgi seems to be okay with all this, she is really the most composed one.

The hangout going well, Sooya seems to be more talkative now, they make a joke one or two about me and I just smile at that, but find myself responding and fight back at their jokes. At least, we're not awkward with each others, she get along well with my friends, that's all I need. She practically will stuck with me throughout my schedules, a comfortable person is the type that I need.

"Jennie.. sorry to bring this up now but I just want to remind you that you have fashion show to attend in two weeks." Sooya said to me. "Ohh ya.. the Chanel CEO did sent me the invitation. You'll going with me aren't you?" I asked her. "I guess so.. or you want Seulgi to go with you?" "Nahh, it's fine with me. I'm kinda sick of seeing Seulgi now." I said jokingly. Seulgi throw the fries to me, saying I hurt her how easily I replace her with Sooya.

"We will spend the night here, how about you Sooya?" Lisa suddenly said. She's taken by surprise of Lisa's offer but decline politely and said she should be back home shortly cause it's getting late. As the house owner, shouldn't I be the one to say that? She might taken it in a wrong way because I didn't say anything after Lisa said that, but I decided to keep my mouth shut.

After she go home, like usual, we spend the night together in a room like we used to be. We keep talking all night long, they asked me if I'm okay being around her and so on. Well.. I guess I'm okay with her, and tonight really break the ice between us. Laying up here with the girls, they long away asleep, and here I am, staying awake. I pick up my phone and text Sooya, asking her if she safely home. Almost instance, she reply me back. "I did. Thank you for tonight, I had fun. You should go to sleep, it's really late now. Goodnight Jennie.."

"Sleep well, Sooya. Goodnight.." I hit the send button. Putting my phone aside and pull up the comforter over myself. Freeing myself from any unnecessary thoughts, I dozed to sleep.
