Home Is Always You

009

"You mean there's no more activity for today?", Jennie asked her bestfriend and plops on the sand beside the girl.

Shaking her head, Lisa adjusts her sunglasses and answered, "No more. We'll have a little game later in the evening, though. But no more activity. Today's our last day here so you can just relax all you want."

"I see."

The brunette props her hands against the sand and leans back a little, focusing her attention to the crystal clear sea where the others are goofing around.

Friday. Time sure flies. She feels like she's just starting to get comfortable, and it's already ending. Come to think of it, what has she achieved this week? Well, besides a brand new yacht and a bruise on her forehead, she has not really achieved anything.

Jisoo's agenda in bringing her and Roseanne together in the same space was to find answers and get that closure. But, she feels like she's got even more questions now. Truly frustrating.

"Oh, hey, Rosie. You trying out our new jet ski?", she heard Lisa call out.

Tipping her head, Jennie was met with the woman she was thinking of just now. Roseanne was wearing this very minimal piece of clothing that exposes her milky white skin. Not too revealing since she's still wearing some shorts. Just...a perfectly normal beach outfit.

Yeah, perfectly normal.

But if so, then Jennie wonders why she couldn't look properly at the girl and why she feels her cheeks heating up.

'Ah, because of the sun. Right, sun bathing', she argued in her mind.

"Yep, been years since I last rode one, so", Roseanne replied, softly kicking on the sand under her feet.

"Been years? Don't tell me that was when we went to Hawaii?", Lisa asked in disbelief.

Chuckling, the pink-haired nodded, "Yeah, barely had time to visit the beach. And when I do, it's only for work."

"Aww, that sucks. But, same, to be honest", the youngest said, shaking her head, "That makes me wonder, did you take a week off for this party? I mean, I'd assume your schedule is clear?"

Roseanne's smile slowly falters, before it was replaced with a slightly bothered one, "O-Of course...I especially cleared my schedule for you guys."

The stuttering went unnoticed by Lisa. But not by Jennie.

"I am flattered, Miss Global Superstar", the younger girl joked, making them bubble in a laugh, "Anyways, go ahead and have fun out there, Rosie."

"You guys don't wanna come?", the singer asked, gesturing a hand at the two girls who're both plopped down on the shore.

Lisa waved a hand, "Oh, nah, I'm having a moment with my coconut juice", she said, lifting the coconut in view, "You, Nini?"

The brunette's eyes widened a little before she shakes her head frantically, "N-No...I'm sun bathing."

Roseanne subtly suppresses a chuckle at the brunette's cute reaction. She swears everything the girl does is purely adorable.

"Alright, have fun sun bathing, you two", she playfully salutes at them, before walking over to the water to join the others.

Lisa turns to her bestfriend once the singer was far enough, giving her a questioning look, "Have you decided?"

"Decided on what?", Jennie asks back.

"If you're going to give Rosie a chance to explain?", the younger elaborated, "This party's coming to an end. What do you plan on doing?"
