Chaeyoung had an unimpressed face listening to the Lieutenant spill her feelings out all over the table.

"I know! I shouldn't have left, like I knew that! But I still left." Jisoo muttered. She took another sip of wine, squinting at the taste. "It's just I kinda got recalled and I couldn't miss it." She trailed off.

She placed her bottle on the table, opening her phone seeing no texts from Jennie.

"In my perspective, I knew she wouldn't be in danger. Another guard can replace me, I do nothing but walk behind her anyway. What are the chances someone's gonna try to assassinate a celebrity?"

"Very little." Chaeyoung replied.

"Yeah, exactly." Jisoo murmured, her head on the table she groaned in her arms. "And her like shop opening thing isn't even that big of a deal. She wanted to like I guess introduce me formally to the media? I don't fucking know but I didn't see it as a big deal."

Chaeyoung rolled her eyes. "Okay, I want to say something, but you can go on."

"It's not as big of a deal as let's say, her runway. I know for sure I have to be there, I need to support her because it's her pride and joy. But a boutique opening is just any other event."

Chaeyoung facepalmed. "I guess you have a point but let me ask you this. Why do you think she's mad at you?"

"Because I'm not attending that event with her? I dunno."

"Jisoo."

"Yes."

"You dumbass."

"Okay yes that, but you know there's a reason why she wants you there."

"She can introduce me to the world some day later, besides I'm not comfortable anyways."

"But you didn't tell her! I hate you guys!" Chaeyoung threw her hands in the air.

The Lieutenant shrugged. "She's so mad at me, I don't even want to think about the moment I go home."

Jisoo slammed her forehead on the table, probably bruising it. Chaeyoung grabbed the Lieutenant's collar, pulling her up seeing the red forehead she laughed.

"I just didn't see it as a big deal, that's all. I didn't mean to make her upset or anything."

"Quit telling me and text her that." Chaeyoung said, stealing spring rolls from her plate.

The Lieutenant blinked. Chaeyoung was right and she pulled her phone out of her pocket and started typing her apology.

The Lieutenant knew she should call but it's late and she wanted Jennie to rest.

So just to make sure the Lieutenant showed her apology to Chaeyoung, making her triple check it.

At the end she asked Jennie to call her so she can explain it through call. She just hoped Jennie wasn't that bitter, but the probability of that was low.

The Lieutenant walked in the police station, hearing the holding room echo with grunts.

A small peek through the window she saw an officer mishandling a man, slapping him and kicking him.

It was blatant police brutality. That wasn't the way to go.

The Lieutenant opened the cell, grabbing the petty officer by the collar and yanking him out.

"What do you think you're doing, Private Moon!" She hissed, shoving him in a corner as he adjusted his shirt. "Do you want a law suit on our asses?!"

"He spat on me!" He answered, standing up properly once the officer realized who she was.
