My Protector

Chapter 7

The next day Jennie had a day off since she promised V that she would take one after the incident on set. Jennie was in her living room playing with Kuma when her phone rang. She checked the caller Id and saw it was V,all of a sudden her heart started beating as she answered the call. "Hey what's up" "What are you doing today?" "Staying at home and probably brush up on some laundry" "Be ready in half an hour I'm taking you somewhere to get your mind off things" "Do you mind if Irene comes?" "Uh...sure why not?"

Jennie notified Irene and they both got ready to go out with V. V arrived to pick the girls up. Jennie let Irene sit in front with V since she was well aware that Irene had eyes for him. Irene tried making conversation, but V didn't really make an effort to interact with her he mostly paid attention to Jennie. Jennie didn't know why, but it amused her everytime V smiled at her and not Irene. Jennie felt a sudden feel of jealousy when Irene touched V's shoulder, V however shrugged her off which amused Jennie once again, however there was a small part of Jennie that felt bad for her friend. But to be fair it was a very small part.

"This is our first stop",V said pulling up outside a carnival full of fun rides and tasty snacks. The trio got out and entered the fair together to buy tickets. While they were walking around Irene saw a love tunnel ride and urged V to ride it with her while Jennie waited. During the ride Irene kept looking at V who was doing everything to avoid eye contact with her. As they entered out of the tunnel Jennie saw as Irene was lying on V's shoulder. Jennie walked away as she held her tears back. Irene noticed and assumed that Jennie was giving them alone time.

After the carnival the three drove to a new destination. "Yahh stop I love that store can we go in",Irene pleaded. "I'm hungry so maybe you guys can go",V said. "Jennie are you coming?",Irene asked. "No you know shopping isn't my thing you go ahead",Jennie said trying to avoid hearing Irene rave about V.

"Ok I won't be long",Irene said hopping out. Jennie and V sat in silence for a few minutes before V spoke up, "How about we head across the road to that restaurant". Jennie unbuckled her seatbelt and got out with him as the two walked over to the restaurant.

After ordering the two sat down. The restaurant seemed very quaint so there were no fans to interrupt them this time. "Tell me about something yourself",V said. "Like what?",she asked. "Who were those people we went to visit yesterday and why are they so important to you?",he asked digging deep into her past. "My family didn't support me becoming a YG trainee so I ran away and had nowhere to go, I was living in my car until Bebe found me and took me in while I was training , and they've been my only family for as long as I can remember".
V finally understood why she no longer talked to her family and why the little boy looked up to her so much. They werw all she had. "I can relate a little",he admitted. "How so?",she asked. "I lost my mom when I was born so my dad and my brothers blamed me for her death all my life, treated me awfully, didn't support my endeavors and pretended like I didn't exist to them". "You don't talk to them anymore?",Jennie asked.

"No...so I guess we're both broken in a way?", V said thoughtfully. "We don't have to stay broken",she said sympathizing with him for the first time. Jennie looked at V and realized that this was the very first time that he opened up to her, he was being sincere and connected with her. She realized how similar the two of them really are. Suddenly they heard voice behind them, "Here you are!" The voice belonged to Irene who squashed herself in-between the two.

V was getting annoyed, but decided not to say anything so he didn't seem rude.
