Predestined - JENSOO - ENGLISH VERSION

Chapter 67

Even though I clarified things with Jisoo, there was still something bothering me.

It's not normal for a person to be between a couple like the way Soojoo acted yesterday and that made me reevaluate every time she tried to help me in relation to Jisoo. Or at least that's what I thought until I talked to Jisoo about that time.

I thought I was irritated by the realization we came to, but Jisoo was much more so because she felt betrayed since she trusted Soojoo so much. My girlfriend really considered and saw Soojoo as a real friend.

At first, I was a little afraid about opening old wounds and how much this could trigger some discussion or debate between us, but in the end, all the anger was directed solely and exclusively at Soojoo.

Of course Jisoo and I had our share of the blame, but if Soojoo hadn't meddled so much and if we hadn't let her do it, things wouldn't have been so catastrophic.

What shocked me the most was when we put the pieces of this puzzle together and realized that Soojoo manipulated the facts according to what she wanted and how she understood. For example, if she was angry with Jisoo for some reason, she would further inflame my anger or twist things in a way that would trick me into fighting with Jisoo because Soojoo knew I was the weak point. This 'friend' manipulated everything by using me as a chess piece on her board so she could hit Jisoo and watch her suffer, which doesn't make any sense.

I think Soojoo feels a mix of admiration and envy towards Jisoo because that explains everything she did. All that remains is to know if she did it consciously or if she did it without being aware of what she was doing. I've thought about it so many times, but I can't come to any conclusion.

What made Jisoo more angry is that she told certain things only to Soojoo and found out that her friend told to me or used it to push Jisoo further and further down. Every moment I think about it, it only reaffirms my thought that Soojoo is crazy, needy and dependent on a level that is dangerous and we are lucky that she doesn't live close to any of us.

"Did I tell you that Soojoo now has the dream of wanting me to come visit her?" my girlfriend's voice diverts my thoughts by bringing me to the present.

"What?" I furrow my eyebrows and look down. Jisoo is lying on my lap while playing on her phone and I'm watching TV.

"She keeps talking about this from time to time and I don't know where she got that idea from."  she says in an irritated tone "If and that's a big if, if I go there, you'll go with me and, honestly, there are other places I want to visit with you."

"With each passing moment and I discover something new about her desires,I end up getting angrier at her." I roll my eyes and look back at the TV.

"She asked me that if she passed the selection process to do a master's degree, if I would visit her as a prize and I was thinking: why the hell do I need to give you a prize? It doesn't make sense, Jendeukie." Jisoo makes an adorable pout when she's angry.

"Firstly, you don't owe her anything, secondly, if you're going to give a prize, it should be for me because I'm your girlfriend, thirdly, I want her to fuck off." I pass my hand over my face, feeling my irritation increase.

"I think you're completely right, I'm not obliged to reward anyone." she shrugs "Every bullshit thing I have to put up with, for God's sake." the redhead yawns and locks the phone, leaving it on her belly. I take her hand and look at the promise ring.

"I think I'm going to stop buying you a ring because it's already boring to give you jewelry." I pout and feel Jisoo staring at me.

"Speak for yourself" she says seriously and I start to laugh when I hear her. "What?"

"I found your reaction very random." I say trying to control my laughter and Jisoo smiles.

"You're crazy, there's no one here complaining about getting rings or gifts. If it's annoying for you, your problem, deal with it in therapy." She shrugs and picks up her phone again.

"You're funny."

"That's it, you laugh at my jokes, before you know it you'll be naked." I choke when I hear her and she gives a mischievous smile as she goes back to playing.

"JISOO!"

"I didn't lie." the redhead shrugs with a convinced smile on her face "It was with stupid jokes and weak pick-up lines that we are here." I roll my eyes when I hear her "Am I lying?"

"No." I let out a sigh and her smile gets bigger, almost tearing her face.

"To this day I don't know how you fell in love, I didn't think my tactic would work" she seems thoughtful "Even though you won me over first."

"I never intended to win you over."

"I know, you are worse than me because in my case at least I always had ulterior motives with you."

"How am I worse than you if I had no intentions and it happened?"

"I don't know, in my head it makes sense."

"Obviously it does." I roll my eyes "You always blame me for being in love."

"Yes! Because you are the one who seduces and conquers me daily, who else am I going to blame, Jennie????"

"Me, Jisoo, everything is my fault." I roll my eyes.

"See? I told you, relationships become much easier when we take our share of the blame." she fakes a tone of disapproval and starts laughing, making me laugh too.

"Idiot."

"Thanks, if you think it's bad, deal with it in therapy, especially because we're getting married."

"Are we?" I raise one of my eyebrows challenging her and she stops playing to look at me.

"Don't joke about this because my heart is weak." she rests her hand on her chest and pretends to be dramatic.

"I never understood how you were always so sure about this."

"Me neither, I just know that I've always felt it and I know that you're the love of my life, there's no way to get rid of me anymore."

"I don't want to get rid of you, idiot." I squeeze her cheek and she smiles widely at me.
