Somehow, they were allowed to go home. Well, the Lieutenant signed a waiver for her early release stating that the hospital wouldn't be liable for anything.

Her Chief came up with the idea when he visited her in the hospital tonight because he was afraid Jennie would take Jisoo away from the job.

Jennie had smiled at her Chief and didn't say anything at all, much to Jisoo and Chief Lee's surprise.

The Lieutenant had noticed how quiet Jennie had become and because if it became so weary of what was to happen.

When the Lieutenant followed the designer back into their room, she didn't expect Jennie to strip naked and have her clothes just scattered on the floor.

The usual Jennie would never do that. This is the type of stuff Jisoo did that got her nagging at her for being untidy, but today it's like the roles reversed.

The designer walked into the bathroom and after a couple of minutes of pacing around, Jisoo went inside.

Jennie was enjoying herself in the big bathtub with bubbles up to her chin.

She heard Jisoo walk in and rested easy eyes on her lover, only to have Jisoo give her back such sad puppy like eyes.

"Are you okay? Jendeuk?" The Lieutenant shyly asked, sitting on the edge of the tub.

The designer quietly nodded.

When they just stared into each other's eyes it was Jennie who broke the gaze.

It made the Lieutenant feel somewhat homeless because they weren't talking but rather just looking at each other.

Jennie touched the Lieutenant's hand that was resting on the ledge, and the Lieutenant let go and followed Jennie's hand.

It was soon submerged in the water and Jennie held it tightly, her breathing shaky she wanted to cry.

"Hey.." Jisoo called out, she reached over to pull Jennie into a little hug as best as she could.

The Lieutenant kissed the top of her head, comforting her as best as she could.

"I want to be alone." Jennie whispered.

Reluctant to let go, the Lieutenant kept holding their positions. But Jennie had patted the side of her body, wanting to be let go.

"I'm worried Jen, you were so quiet—"

"Baby, please go?" Jennie interrupted, her eyes full of desperation and the Lieutenant would've sat there for as long as she could.

But she didn't want to go against Jennie's wishes.

"I'm here, you know? I'll be outside." The Lieutenant mumbled sadly.

Jennie smiled small.

The Lieutenant got up and slowly walked out, the pain in her leg started to begin.

Jisoo walked out and grabbed the bottle of pain killers and swallowed a couple of them.

The Lieutenant sighed, she was too tired. She was in pain, but her heart hurt.

Something about Jennie wanting to be alone, her not talking with her and the sad looks she had seen on Jennie's face was alarming to say the least.

She rolled over next to her folded pair of sweatpants and a hoodie. She so badly wanted to change into them, but she was exhausted, and her body was begging for rest.

But the Lieutenant soon fell asleep, her worrying didn't keep her up against the pain killers.

She didn't get to see how when Jennie finished in the bathroom the designer then just stood there and watched the Lieutenants back.
