Just Roommates

"Are you fucking kidding me, dad? She's my age?" Jennie said loudly catching the attention of the people in the cafe. She's sitting with her dad and jisoo, with one girl beside her dad, his so-called girlfriend.

"She's actually several years older than you.." her father said with a straight face without any hesitation.

"Seriously? Like that makes a big difference. Oh my god, I can't believe this!" She takes her head in her hands.

"I'm sorry honey...perhaps I have waited for better time to tell you this."

"There was never going to be a good time to tell me this, dad?" She said without even looking at him.

"You're right. When I look at you, I'm reminded that at least something very right came out of my marriage- and it's you. Jennie, there's a lot that you don't understand about the marriage between your mother and I. We have been...struggling to keep it together for years."

"That's a pathetic excuse, dad"

"I know. I'm planning on telling your mother eventually, but right now, I'm still figuring some things out. So, until then, I trust that you'll keep this a secret form your mother. Right?"

Suddenly, a crazy idea strikes her... with no time to mull over it she decided to just run with it.

"Sure, dad. But only if you'd agree to help me out a little bit..

Let's make him pay for this..

"..I need your help, dad. Right now I'm still looking for job and the cost of living here is through the roof!" Jennie joojh her hands and started to play with them.

"Just tell me how much you need."

Wow, that was quick! I can't believe I'm blackmailing my parents for money...what does that make me?

She open the front door to the apartment and are met with Jung kook and jimin, who are sitting on the couch. Both of them watch her intently as she drag herself to the couch and plop herself in between them.

"What's wrong with you? You look upset." Jung kook ask her concern. She don't know how to explain the situation to them.

"Tell me. What happened? Did your pretentious ass boyfriend cheat on you?!" Jungkook ask.

"Yeah, because if he did, jungkook and I can go beat the shit out of him. Maybe jungkook can do the beating and I'll ... help hold his coat." Jimin said.

Jennie take a deep sigh before saying " I found out tadad that my parents are cheating on each other." The truth bomb is followed by a couple of seconds of silence as jimin and jungkook try to process this but if information.

"Like, they both have different partners? I mean, if that's the kind of thing they're into, they don't even have to get a divorce, they can embrace the swinger lifestyle-" jimin got interrupted by a loud voice.

"Jimin, shut up." Jung kook says glaring at him.

"What? There's nothing wrong with having an open relationship if all parties involved have an open communic-"

"Jimin, enough, zip it." Jungkook said to him even glaring at him more.

"Okay! I was just helping." Jimin put his finger on his mouth shooting backward.

"Wow, Jennie. I can't imagine what must be going through you mid right now. How are you feeling? I mean, not about whole cheating thing, just you." Jungkook ask her.

"I guess I'm feeling melancholy.. nostalgic. Feeling as if I'm forced to say goodbye to something that I've known my whole life. And knowing that things will never be the same after this. I feel like this is the defining moment that will forever separate my life into two parts. The time before the cheating and after." Jennie said as she closed her eyes which were filled tears but weren't falling off.

"If I were you, I wouldn't stress myself out too much. They both adults, and they know exactly what they are getting themselves into. Anyways, waking in on your parents having sex is more tolerable that your mom making you sit through a movie that you know feature steamy sex scenes." Jimin says.

"How are the two things even comparable?" Jungkook ask surprised.

"If you walk in on your parents having sex, of course, it's cringeworthy and you'll probably experience a few seconds of awkwardness, but that about it. You can immediately walk away. But try watching said movie with your parents. When the sex scene are playing you have to endure minutes being able to actual enjoy the scenes. It physically hurts." Jimin told them.

" hmm. I hate to admit it, but, I kinda see your point this time." A beeping sound on her phone indicates a message received. She pull out her phone to check it.

"Hey, it's me just go out of work and all I could think of was you."  It's was her new boyfriend when she go to the interview. "..miss you, Jennie."

She don't have any feeling towards him it was that he was so sweet that she just agreed to be with him. She wanted to tell him that she is not interested in him but he take all it wrong. So, she have to leave him. And everyone else jungkook jimin jisoo Lisa thinks it's her boyfriend even he is not.
