1146 Wanted To Be Someone Like That
By the roadside, Chaeyoung waited restlessly outside the car. She was only relieved when she saw Jennie walk out. She quickly walked up to her and called out, "Jen!"
"Let's go!" Jennie opened the car door for her and quickly helped Chaeyoung in.
Chanyeol just quietly shrunk into the backseat of the car.
Chaeyoung pulled Jennie's windbreaker closely around her and said worriedly, "If I go home like this and bump into the maids, it might be troublesome to explain..."
"Let's go to my place first."
"Mmm." Chaeyoung nodded, her eyes teared up as she looked at the driving girl."Nini, I'm really sorry about tonight. In a moment of desperation, I just sent the message without thinking, then I started to worry that I would implicate you and something would happen. I have to bear the blame...I'm really sorry.."
Jennie looked at Chaeyoung through the rearview mirror, her gaze no longer as murderous as it was in the warehouse. Her voice was gentle. "No need to be sorry. I'm very happy that at such a moment, the person you thought of was me."
As she looked at Jennie's gentle expression, Chaeyoung felt an indescribable feeling. She took out a tissue and helped Jennie wipe off the blood splatter on her cheeks. "But...Jennie, how did you come so quickly?"
"I've been outstation for work these few days. I just got on a flight back to Imperial tonight and I saw your message on the way home from the airport. Thankfully, the cab was not too far away from you at that time."
Or else, if she had been a little later, she dared not to imagine what would have happened...
Chaeyoung understood, then she looked worried again. "Jen, would this affect you or anything?
After all, you have just..."
Jennie tilted her head and gave Chaeyoung a look of assurance, "Trust my capabilities of erasing traces."
"Mmm." Chaeyoung nodded, she had an unconditional trust in the person before her.
In the back seat, Chanyeol stared at Jennie with an absent-minded expression. His eyes...there was a certain yearning and longing that he had not noticed himself...
He wanted.....wanted to be someone like this...
A person that others could rely on...
For the people around him to trust and rely on without reservations..
He wanted to be a real man...
...
Half an hour later, Jennie arrived outside her bungalow.
Inside the house, Jennie immediately found a clean set of clothes for Chaeyoung. "Go and take a hot shower. Change out of your clothes."
"Mmm."
After Chaeyoung left to shower, Chanyeol stood in the living room at a loss. He thought that with Jennie's temperament, she would have berated him endlessly, and maybe even beat him up, so he was prepared to face it all.
At last, Jennie did not scold him. She did not even look at him as if he was invisible. He was being completely ignored.
Jennie's indifferent attitude made him feel even worse than being scolded or beaten up...
A while later, Chaeyoung was done with her shower.
Jennie let Steamed Bun bring the first aid kit over, then called Chaeyoung to sit down beside her, "Come here, let me look at your wounds."
