Predestined - JENSOO - ENGLISH VERSION

Chapter 51

I hate goodbyes.

It feels like a hole has been left in my chest since the moment I said goodbye to Jennie at the airport. All the time I feel like I'm missing something or like I've forgotten something.

But the truth is that she's missing.

I thought that before we saw each other, I missed Jennie, but I was wrong. The feeling that has been with me since the moment I boarded that plane and returned home is almost unbearable.

At least, I have the good memories we created to hold on to and reminisce about all the time, as well as feeling my love and passion for her grow even more.

I let out a sigh and spin around in my office chair as I count the number of days until I see Jennie again on my calendar.

It sucks to sleep cuddled for a few days and then have to face the harsh reality of sleeping alone again.

I think I'm going to end up going crazy with longing and wanting to be close to Jennie.

Jendeukie: What do you think about commitment rings?

I stare at my screen and give a half smile. Honestly, when I was in my straight phase, just thinking about the idea of ​​wearing a ring made my finger itch with allergies and fear.

But now I want that with Jennie. I want everything with Jennie.

🐰: Are you going to put a ring on my finger?

Jendeukie: Yes

Jendeukie: How big is it?

🐰: I don't know, I'll measure it and send it to you

Jendeukie: I like more delicate rings, what about you?

🐰: I like delicate ones too

Jendeukie: I'll buy it for us

Jendeukie: Shall we record something?

🐰: On mine I want you to record it like this "My Jendeukie"

Jendeukie: So I'm going to engrave on my ring "My Chu"

🐰: I feel adorable

"Sooya" one of my co-workers says and diverts my attention from my phone. I frown at him. I hate face-to-face work because I can't be in love in peace.

"What?"

"There's a girl downstairs, at reception, looking for you."

"Who?" I scratch my chin.

"I don't know." he gets up "It's already lunch time, maybe someone sent you something." I nod and look at my phone screen again.

I didn't place an order, Lisa didn't tell me she was sending me anything, and Jennie doesn't know the address of where I work.

During the elevator descent, I keep thinking about a thousand and one possibilities of what it could be and I can only come to the conclusion that it can only be a mistake, but then the doors of the metal box open when we reach the ground floor.

I swallow hard when I see who is here and I think that death is very close to me right now.

"Jisoo!" She opens a wide smile.

"Miyeon." I say when I see the dark-haired girl approach and hug me. God, Jennie is going to kill me when she finds out about this. Even worse, she'll think I'm deceiving her and I'm not. I didn't even know Miyeon was in my town. "What are you doing here?" I look at her from head to toe and see that she has a suitcase, leaving me more scared than before.

"In case you forgot, I had bought tickets here and then I was going to my old city to spend a few weeks with my friends." she says and I blink a few times.

"Yeah?"

"Yes, Jisoo, when we were still dating." She rolls her eyes and I stare at her without knowing what to say. "Have you had lunch?"

"No..." I swallow dry and check my phone screen, but Jennie hasn't sent anything.

"So let's have lunch and catch up, I'm going to my old city in a few hours."

"Oh..." I scratch the back of my neck and let out a sigh.

"What's new? How are you at work?" she says in a casual tone as soon as we sit down at one of the McDonald's tables after placing our orders.

"No news, everything is calm." I shrug and place my phone on the table while staring at the call panel. "And you?"

"I'm thinking about getting a job and moving again, I hate that city."

"Why?" I furrow my eyebrows and look at her.

"People are so annoying and rude, they really seem to take pride in being rude and I hate it." Miyeon rolls her eyes and lets out an irritated sigh.

I'm feeling extremely tense thinking about how I'm going to talk about this with Jennie without her freaking out and becoming suspicious of me. I didn't do anything wrong this time, I didn't flirt with anyone, why is God punishing me????

I keep going over all of this in my mind as I chew and listen to Miyeon talk about whatever it is when my phone screen lights up.

"I don't believe!" She takes my phone while I'm still biting right in the middle of my sandwich "Is that Jennie who's texting you?" her tone is so accusing that when I finish chewing and swallowing, it feels like my throat is being ripped open.

"Yes." I shrug. I won't care about Miyeon's opinion.

"How was that? You said there was nothing new." She looks at my phone screen again before placing it back under the table.

"We talked again after some time that you and I broke up and that's it."

"Jisoo, I can't believe you went back to your toxic ex." Miyeon looks at me in disbelief.

"Jennie is different, she's not like that anymore."

"I always knew you'd go after her as soon as we finished." she says in an amused tone and I remain silent – "Be careful, okay? You don't deserve to be hurt like you were that time, don't accept that Jennie treats you badly and says those things to you."

"I told you, she's different." I shrug and look away.

"She's different until she gets what she wants, after she gets what she wants, I guarantee you she'll change."

"Well, I think I'll take a chance." I raise one of my eyebrows and look back at Miyeon who looks back at me.

"You're crazy." She shakes her head in denial.

"I may be, but there are things in life that when we know, we simply know." I say seriously.

"I understood." she responds in a dry tone and looks away.
