The next few days pass as if there is a fog over the household. We are all forced to stay indoors by jiyong's insistence and with everyday I grow agitated. The security is now good and tight. Jackson took all my advice and done everything I said. I feel like an animal in cage. Dara tries to hang out with me but her presence only makes me more suffocated.

Jiyong offered the gym for me use and get rid of my excess energy and I used it while jennie read silently in the corner. Her and I managed to into mutual agreement to stay with each others presence but not to mend with other's business. It worked but I still feel something is bothering jennie. She'd give me odd looks over her book while I workout and would quickly turn around if I turned to her. It frustrates me but I don't want to disrupt the cold peace between us.

Today though I can't stop myself for some change. Instead of working out in the gym while jennie reads, I suggest we go library to relax. Jennie was taken aback by my suggestion but agreed. We walk through the silence to the library. It gives me funny feeling to change my routine for jennie but she's been accommodating me since first day. The least I can do is to allow her a day without watching me sweat like pig.

After reaching library I stood awkwardly while jennie quickly finds a book and sit down in a chair near the back of room and letting me do whatever I want. I roam around the library and touch books here and there. So many books she must have them since childhood. Back in facility I only read only rule book. Jennie reads much interesting books.

Humming I reach near the last self where I can see jennie relaxed in her book and smirking. I don't know what book she's reading but it's funny I can say. I roll my shoulder slowly then tip over to fall on the ground. My muscles are aching to workout. I start doing pushup. Thinking about jennie and her books. I bet some of them are first edition classics. Jennie's expression are more interesting than those books tho.

Up, down, up, down!

"If you wanted to work out." Jennie mumbles eyes in her book. "We could have spent time in gym like usual."

I tilt my head upwards to look at her.
"You like being in library right?"

"Of course."

"Exactly." I move to rest on my knees linking my fingers and lifting my arms above my head and arc my back. "You deserve a day of your own not watching me sweat like gross."

Jennie finally lifts her eyes to see me, her cheeks turning pink. "I don't mind...."

I brought my hands back to knees. "It's okay. I can be fine here too. I just need something to do so I don't go nuts." I flop onto my back and stretch my legs.

"Why don't you pick up a book?"She asks in a odd voice.

I look at her, image upside down to me. "I don't read."

"Why not?"

Sighing I sit up. "Where I was made I didn't have time to read. When I did read it was because I was forced to."

After a long silence, fearing I said something wrong, Jennie says "where you were made?"

I spread my legs and lean to the left my arms over my head to stretch my lower back. "You don't think I was born freak do you?" I pause and lean to right. "Nope. Man made me this way." I lift myself and exhale then bring my legs together to touch my toes.

Jennie's chair creaks making me lift my head. I listen jennie getting closer to me and slide her book in its place. I relax as jennie drifts closer to me searching onother book. She's going to read another one? This women never quit.

She steps directly beside me and seats down at bottom self. I stare at her suddenly feeling something. "How about I read you a book?" She says touching to a green book.
