Home Is Always You

007

Wednesday isn't as nice as the past two days. Everyone woke up to the sight of rain pouring down hard. Given that their today's activity is supposed to be outdoor, they had to cancel it. Much to the engaged couple's dismay because they were really looking forward to a sunny weather, they even requested a forecast from the local meteorologist before this event. But, oh well, climate change's a bummer.

In the end, they just decided to settle indoor and do some baking. Something sweet and warm's perfect for this cozy weather. Everything's still going nice.

Well, almost.

Because what's not nice is a certain grumpy brunette carelessly surfing out in the ocean despite the raging rain.

"Is she trying to be a water bender or something?", Bona asked Minnie beside her as they watch the girl through the large window of the veranda.

Minnie shrugs her shoulders, "I don't know, but she seems really upset. Look at her eyebrows, they're crossed."

"Hasn't she always looked like that since high school, though?"

"You got a point."

Roseanne, who was passing by to get a whisk from the cupboard, overhead the girls' conversation and paused on her tracks to take a peek out the window herself. There she saw her ex stubbornly surfing through the big waves like a frustrated superhero.

'What does this midget think she's doing?', the singer thought.

She recalls Jennie left about an hour ago saying she'll get something to eat, and she thought the brunette's just trying to escape because she's really bad at baking, she couldn't even distinguish flour from baking soda. Turns out she's out in the ocean playing God in the midst of a storm.

Roseanne notices how the girl's forehead was creased and how her facial muscles were tensed. By that, she knew the brunette was troubled.

Jennie didn't like chasing literal danger. She only does that when she wants to get things off of her mind. And Roseanne doesn't want to make it about herself, but she's sensing it has something to do with their conversation last night. Guess she distressed her yet again.

An audible sigh escapes the singer's lips, snatching the attention of the two girls.

"Oh, hey, Rosie", Bona greeted her, "Are the cookies done?"

Roseanne plasters a small smile and nodded, "Yeah, we're about to start the macaroons."

"Oh, right, I forgot Jisoo told me to separate the egg whites!", the girl panics, earning a chuckle from her acquaintances, "Come on, Minnie, that cousin of mine will kill me."

"Wait, what about Jennie?", the other girl asks, making their heads turn back to the sea.

"Well, as far as I know, she's a good swimmer. I think she'll be fine."

The pink-haired gazes at the brunette in ponder. While it's true that she's a good swimmer, this kind of bad weather still cannot be trusted. With those huge waves crashing violently against each other, even the best surfer would topple over. Whatever Jennie's trying to achieve with this, is extremely dangerous.

"We'll go back to the kitchen, Rosie", Bona said, before the two girls went and left her.

The singer stayed by the veranda. The whisk she was about to get was long forgotten as she watches over Jennie who's now struggling with her board. The waves are getting much violent, and she's not feeling good about this.

As if her gut was correct, not even a minute after when a wave crashed on Jennie, toppling her over.

Roseanne put a foot forward in reflex, holding back and awaiting for the brunette to emerge from the water. She can swim, she gotta come up.
