I hate you.

Jennie rolled to the other side of the bed, a bit bitter from waking up to a lonely room.

She smothered her face in a pillow, upset Jisoo didn't spend the night.

She screamed in it, punching it imagining it was the Lieutenant's face.

Jennie huffed when she let her anger go, hugging it again as if it was an apology to her 'pillow Jisoo.

The designer reached for her phone, seeing no new messages before the door knocked and she grabbed a robe.

She opened the door, seeing Jisoo all ready for her to start their day in her uniform and all.

She had just finished beating her imaginary Jisoo up and the real one shows up.

"Ms. Kim."

"You didn't stay?" Jennie asked coldly.

"I had to feed Dalgom and take care of him." Jisoo said, lying to her on the spot but it was a good reason.

She wasn't having it after starting her day off in a sour mood so she called Dara earlier. "I told Dara I'm going to stay in bed the entire day. You can go home now—"

"Okay." Jisoo bowed and Jennie slammed the door when Jisoo didn't protest or say anything whatsoever.

I hate her she's so dumb. She always also so fucking bad at taking hints, I swear I'm going to bite her arm off one day.

You know what, I don't even need her. I'm better off without Jisoo anyway, plus, I get the house all to myself without some bodyguard watching over me

The door knocked again, and Jennie opened it, glaring at Jisoo.

"Hi, can I come in, Jennie?" Jisoo then grinned, taking her earpiece out. "I'm off duty now."

You cheeky little butt. Jennie yelled in her head.

Jisoo always knew what was Jennie's schedule ahead of time, and even if Jennie cancelled spontaneously, her supervisor would tell her.

So she took it upon herself to still show up, not as a bodyguard but as a father to her baby, wanting to help Jennie with her pregnancy.

The designer opened the door wide, it was an invitation for the Lieutenant to come in.

"I bought food for you and a couple of other things." Jisoo said, showing the bag out of nowhere.

She set it on the counter a bag of takeout and soon zipped by her. She wedged the door open and started hauling huge boxes in.

"Um." Jennie was confused.

"Don't get mad, but I saw you browsing for baby stuff on Amazon and I just bought all of it that was saved on your wish list. The crib came first so I'll build that." Jisoo said nonchalantly.

"Oh my." Jennie blinked, she wondered what else Jisoo knew.

"Yeah, okay. Where's the baby room?"

"You're early.. The baby isn't due in 8 months." Jennie pointed out, seeing Jisoo effortlessly carry some boxes inside her penthouse.

Jisoo blinked. "I just want to get a head start, just incase I don't get the chance to."

"Oh."

Jennie opened the spare room she intended it to be for the baby and wanted to help Jisoo carry a box but the bodyguard barked at her.

"No, no! Don't lift! Go sit and eat!"

"But—"

"Ms. Kim— I mean Jennie!"
