Predestined - JENSOO - ENGLISH VERSION

Chapter 65

Jisoo

I hate delays with all my heart. Tardiness to me means you have no respect for the time someone else is dedicating to you.

So I don't give a shit if the subway exploded and Mino didn't make it in time. He knew the session time so he should plan to arrive early. I don't understand why people think it's cool to be late as if it's an amazing personality trait.

I'm angry at Soojoo for not developing some sense and giving me and Jennie a break. Damn, what's wrong with her? She doesn't need to be around me all the time, much less getting involved where she doesn't belong.

But I'm more angry at Jennie for spending the entire movie being distant from me and talking to Mino almost all the time. It was only when he arrived that she completely changed. It's almost like I'm not here or that it doesn't matter. I feel like it's the second option and I hate that feeling, but I also hate this senseless jealousy.

I just wanted 5 minutes to talk to her away from everyone here, why are things so difficult and complicated? Why do people complicate everything?

Honestly, I just want to leave. This day may already be over.

"Jichu, I brought the cold-weather blouse I bought for you." Soojoo says as soon as we leave the movie theater.

"Oh, thank you." I say when she holds out the blouse for me "I'm going to the bathroom to put it on." I say and turn towards the bathroom, leaving Jennie with a suspicious and unfriendly look at me.

When I come out of the bathroom, everyone is staring at me and I just shrug my shoulders as I walk towards the escalator. I wait for Jennie to get closer to me, but she insists on staying behind with Mino and Soojoo takes the opportunity to stay between me and my girlfriend.

"What's wrong with you? Something happened?" she and her cousin question me. I take a deep breath and try to think of an excuse because I don't want to tell her what's really going on.

"Since her friend arrived, she has changed completely. She just keeps paying attention to him and full of conversation, giggling." I roll my eyes and stop in the hallway to wait for Jennie and Mino to catch up to us.

"I noticed that she is acting different." Soojoo says.

"And there is the fact that she is rude, she barely talked to us or interacted." her cousin says and I furrow my eyebrows.

"You can go around, I need to talk about something private with Jennie, we already met." Mino says as if he had some authority and I stare at Jennie who just looks away.

"Good conversation for you." I turn to the girls "Let's go." I start walking without looking back.

How bad would it be if I went away and left everyone here?

I might as well get to Jennie's building, organize my things, and head to the airport. Okay, I would have to wait there for many hours until it was time for my flight, but anywhere seems better than staying here close to everyone.

I try to mentally calculate the time it will take me to get to where Jennie lives and the amount of time I would have to organize everything to the point of leaving without her having already arrived. It should take her at least thirty minutes to realize I'm gone, that gives me an advantage and, if I'm lucky, the Uber driver might be a getaway driver and I'll gain a few more minutes.

It makes sense.

"I didn't know Jennie was like that" Soojoo says while walking next to me.

"What you mean?" I look at her without understanding what she is talking about.

"Rude."

"She's not like that, she's just irritated." in fact, she's only rude to you because she didn't want you here, but I think it would be rude for me to say that.

"You always said she took her frustrations out on you, I'm very upset and disappointed by the way she's treating us today, especially you, Jichu." I quickly look at Soojoo and let out a sigh. I walk towards the mall exit and sit on one of the sofas available for those waiting for their car to arrive.

"Jennie is quiet, she doesn't talk much." I shrug. What the hell did Jennie have to talk to Mino about when I'm her girlfriend and we clearly need to talk? What the fuck is going on?

"We should go out, have dinner somewhere." I look at Soojoo as if she were crazy. A tense  and super boring situation and her wanting to go out and do something.

"It's late, aren't you going to take the subway to go home? You should leave now so you don't arrive so late, besides, it could be dangerous." I run my hand over my face when she sits down next to me.

"The night is a baby, by the way, I'm not afraid of thieves, I can very well beat them."

"Soojoo, are you an idiot? Listen carefully to the nonsense you are saying, how are you going to beat an armed thief? Have you gone crazy?" I say irritated "I'll order an Uber for you to go to the station."

"You can call, I'm not leaving." she lifts her chin challenging me "I sleep here, but I'm not leaving now, even if I walk alone."

"I'm losing patience with you." I change the tone of voice "It's time for you to leave. It's late and you can't take risks, besides, your cousin is younger than you, you can't put her at risk just out of stubbornness, stop and think for at least a minute with the rest of sense you have in your mind." I say irritated and she stares at me.

"You can't be like this just because Jennie is treating you badly." She rests her hand on my leg and I look at this gesture without having any idea what she is doing.

"Jisoo." Jennie says as she approaches us and stops in front of us.

"Did you two talk? Everything worked?" I don't even mind the jealousy coloring my tone and Jennie keeps staring at me.

"Yes, everything in order." Mino says as he sits a little further away from me as if he was leaving Jennie's space next to me free.

"Cool." I say without looking away from Jennie and I think we start some conversation through glances until Soojoo goes back to talking about what we're going to do. I take a deep breath and look away.

"Are not hungry?" Jennie questions me. The truth is yes, but I don't want to go out to dinner with anyone other than her so I just shake my head.

"We could go bowling or something fun." I hear Soojoo say.

"There's a really cool karaoke bar and..." Mino starts to say, making me and Jennie look at him seriously "I think I'll order an Uber to take me to the subway station." he shrugs his shoulders and starts looking at his phone. "Where are Jensoo going?"

"Where is he going?" Soojoo nudges me and I look at her "Can't he give us a ride?"

"Ask him, he's next to us." I shrug "Do you want to go out?" I look back at Jennie when Soojoo goes to disturb Mino.

"We are leaving." she says in a firm tone.

"Don't you want to eat anything?"

"I lost my hunger." she takes out her phone "I'm going to call Uber."

"Where are we going?"

"Straight to home." she says without looking at me and I just nod my head.

"Oh, Jichu! We go with Mino to the station, he said he doesn't mind giving us a ride." Soojoo stops next to me "It's a pity that we won't see each other anymore." she pouts.

"3 minutes." I hear Jennie say and I get up.

"Next time we'll do more things." I say as I hug Soojoo and her cousin. "Return carefully and let me know when you get home."

"Bye, girls, good luck to you." Jennie waves politically at them before hugging Mino "We'll talk to each other. Good luck."

"Relax, everything will be fine." Mino says as he moves away and gives me a quick hug before Jennie comes out pulling me towards the car.
