She went back to the bar counter. She needed something to numb her. She ordered a shot of vodka, then another. She was on her third when she noticed the man she had been avoiding earlier. On the other side, she saw Jungkook enter the bar again. She didn't want to see those people either.


She can't go home yet because she has instructed their driver to come back at twelve o'clock. No taxis entering that subdivision. Besides, she doesn't want to go home yet.


She asked the bartender for a bottle of vodka and a glass. She took them out of the garden again. There she hid in the dim light of the gazebo. Drinking the vodka straight from the bottle.


"Stupid Jennie! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" She needs someone to talk to but she can't call Rosé. What will she say? 'Hubby, you know I discovered that your cousin is in love with someone else that I have been fantasizing about for a long time.' She couldn't do that. Even under the circumstances. Her bestfriend will only make fun of her! "Oh, God, please. What should I do?"


A shadow hit her so she realized that she was not alone in the gazebo. She looked up. She couldn't see the face of the person in front of her because the light was behind the woman. The only thing she noticed was the fact that she was taller than an ordinary women.


"Can I help?" The woman asked her.


"No. I'm fine now." She feel embarrassed because someone heard her desperate prayer, she stood up to leave. When she stood up, she felt completely drunk. She almost fell, if the woman didn't hold her.


"Oops, careful." The tone of the woman was teasing but for some inexplicable reason, Jennie thought that the woman's voice sounded comforting.


"I-I'm okay.." She said but she felt dizzy so she returned to her seat, holding her forehead. Rosé had told her before that if she felt dizzy, it meant she didn't drink enough. Her best friend has more experience in drinking than her so she raised the bottle of vodka to her mouth again.


"I wouldn't drink that if I were you." Said the woman in front of her.


The bottle was almost empty so she just put it down. "I guess you're right, but who are you?"


"My name is Lisa."


She froze despite the unusual feeling of being drunk. Lisa? That Lisa, Jungkook was talking to?


The woman seemed to notice her reaction but shrugged her shoulders. "I left my jacket here." She said.


"Oops, sorry." She pulled herself up from a sitting position to pull on the woman's jacket. She handed it to her. "I think I got it all wrinkled up."

"It's okay. I am leaving anyway."


The ideas running through Jennie's brain were fast. This is the woman Jungkook was talking to earlier. This is the woman his crush loved. She wanted to see her face, but her vision was dark and a bit hazy due to the effects of the alcohol.


In a few hours that have passed since she found out the truth about Jungkook, she has gone through all the emotions. And now she feels angry. She wanted Jungkook to feel what she felt. Now she was given the only person she could use to accomplish that.


She had no experience in such matters, but she had read many books and seen many movies. And she was damned intelligent.


If she wasn't drunk, she probably wouldn't have done what she did next. But there she was. She stood on her unsteady feet and hugged the woman in front of her, bringing her lips to hers.


"Wait.."


She heard the hesitation in the woman's voice. She stepped back. She forgot her intention to kiss for revenge. She actually felt slighted. Her very first kiss and she was being rejected. Maybe because she doesn't know how to kiss? Or maybe because her breath smells like alcohol? She didn't realize that her confusion was written all over her face.


Lisa saw that. And she couldn't help her next movement. She hugged her to hers. And gave her what she was asking for.. A long passionate kiss.


Her eyes widened at the unknown sensation she felt from that kiss and the hands caressing her exposed skin. And then, she closed her eyes and allowed herself to be swept by the sensual tide the woman was giving her.


"Come with me." The woman said next.


She raised her head again when she heard the woman's voice. There was something she didn't understand in what she said. The alcohol and something else, something unfamiliar were fogging her mind. "What?"


"I said, come with me." Lisa repeated.


Jennie knew, she was expected to make a decision but it was all confusing, she couldn't think. She didn't know what was happening to her. Only that it all has to do with Jungkook. Or was it's the hand caressing her nape?


"Where will we go?" She asked.


The woman shrugged. "Is that important?"


The woman kissed her again until she was breathless. "Yes.. No.." She answered confused.


There was a smile in Lisa's voice when she spoke again. "Yes or No, are you coming?"


"Lisa, I'm in love with you.." What Jungkook said to the woman came back to her. Great! She was going to take this Lisa person from Jungkook and she kissed so well, she was going to enjoy every minute of it as well. "Okay."


"Okay?" There was amusement in the woman's voice. "So you won't ask where we're going?" She knew at the back of her mind that the alcohol was making her reckless. She likes that feeling anyway. "I don't care."


The next thing that was quite clear in her memory was the two of them standing at the counter to buy tickets.


Lisa is writing in a paper. "I'm sorry. I haven't asked yet. What is your name?"


She forced her eyes to open. "Jennie Ruby Jane Kim."


"How old are you? Because it's required in the manifesto."


Jennie heard the question but couldn't answer it. She leaned on the woman and lost consciousness.


Lisa left no choice but to enter her assumed age of the companion. Under the age column she write: twenty-two.
