Predestined - JENSOO - ENGLISH VERSION

Chapter 38

"I'm not feeling well." Miyeon says softly and leans against me. I put my arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer.

"We are already here at the hospital, they will soon call you and medicate you."

"MIYEON!" the office door opens and the scream that comes from inside sounds so familiar to me, but it must be the stress of being in this crowded hospital. "Goodnight." the voice softens when greeting us. Miyeon goes ahead to get comfortable while I close the door and when I turn to face the doctor, I would rather be dead.

Jennie.

I swallow hard and feel my heart beating faster, my hands are shaking and sweating.

Jennie is looking at me with a look of fun and mischief at the same time and I don't think I can even speak.

Death would hurt less.

I'd rather die than be in an environment with my ex and my current one, but look where I am now.

God and Buddha must hate me.

"What brings you here today?" Jennie says in a mocking tone and I hear Miyeon sigh irritably, putting her arm on my leg. I don't even know how to move anymore. My brain forgot all my body's commands.

"Headache, body ache, sick stomach." I hear Miyeon say and look away. I'd rather look in any corner of this room than face Jennie because I feel the waves of hatred emanating from her body.

"Okay, take some tests and take this medication until the results are ready." Jennie says cordially and stamps the papers that have just come out of the printer. I practically jump up. I need to get out of this room before I pass out.

"Come on, baby." Miyeon says and I bite my mouth. Holy shit, why is she making everything worse?

"Jisoo" Jennie says as soon as I put my hand on the doorknob, ready to run out of here.

"Yes?" I turn around slowly. This is when she's going to shoot me.

"Come stay with me when you can." Miyeon says as she opens the door and walks past it, clearly irritated.

"You're a little pale, is everything okay?" Jennie says ironically, as if she was having fun with everything.

"Yes." I say with difficulty. When will I stop shaking????

"I don't think so." She takes one of the papers and writes something, then stamps it "Take this injection, I think it will be great for you." She extends the paper to me with an evil smile on her face.

I wake up jumping out of bed out of fright. This is the worst nightmare I've ever had.

I really prefer death to going through a situation like this.

And holy shit, now, 8 months after everything, when I'm able to stop thinking about Jennie, because I hadn't thought about her for a few weeks, she appears in my dreams.

Or better said: nightmares.

God, this woman hates me, she has to get out of my head and leave me alone because I'm sure she doesn't remember that I exist.

Soojoo assured me that Jennie acts as if I never existed.

Why did I decide to think about her now?

I leave the room and go to the kitchen to make coffee. I need to do something to distract my mind.

"You look terrible." Lisa appears out of nowhere, making me jump in fright "What's that? Bad conscience?"

"I don't know why, I didn't do anything this time." I say irritated.

'What's wrong with you?"

"I had a nightmare."

"And what time is your flight?"

"After lunch."

"Instead of bringing your woman closer, you let her go far away."

"First, I'm not going to be Miyeon's sugar mommy, as much as she wants to and insists on it, I've already made it clear that I won't." I feel my irritation increasing "I don't want to live with her, it's not the time yet. And second, she moved because she wanted to, because she didn't have the courage to go get a job that paid enough. She wants to be supported, that won't happen to me, so if she wants to continue being supported by her family, that's her problem. I'm not going to kill myself working to pay for her whims."

"Wow, someone is mad about everything."

"Yes, because she wants something that I'm not going to give, besides, a relationship requires calls and things like that, and according to her, she's getting tired of it because sometimes she doesn't want to talk."

"So what are you going to do there?"

"My ticket was already purchased and I'm not going to lose my money." I shrug.

"So Miyeon is tired of calling each other every day?" Lisa leans against the counter with an amused smile on her face.

"Yes, and she still gets angry when I get passive aggressive because she doesn't follow the routine we had. Seriously, it seems like the problem in every relationship is me." I pass my hand over my face. "She does things on purpose to irritate me."

"Is there no chance of her being depressed?"

"Yes, probably, but if she got a job and seemed to be something she couldn't be, maybe she wouldn't be like this."

"And what do you intend to do?"

"I'm going to travel and I'm going to see how everything goes, but I'm not excited or confident."

"You seem comfortable."

"Maybe I am, maybe it's time to change things a little."

"Interesting."

"Jennie would never be like that, something she was always proud of and focused on was having a career, so she wouldn't depend on anyone, while Miyeon wants the opposite."

"And now you're comparing them?"

"Jennie is sensible and responsible, no one can say otherwise about that."

"Oh, that Jennie..." Lisa giggles and I look at her confused.

"What?"

"Nothing, I just think it's funny."

"What? She may hate me, but she has always been responsible and independent." I shrug. "I admired that about her, because even though her family was well off, she wanted to achieve everything on her own merit, without depending on anyone." Lisa laughs and shakes her head in denial.
