A sunset with you

Chapter 30

🎶People You Know - Selena Gomez

Jennie

I wake up in a new room, still in the same black dress from last night. My head is aching and I feel like I might throw up any second now. I look around the room and see Lisa sleeping beside me. Oh, thank god, I didn't get raped.

I barely remember anything, but my heart is aching. I am not sure why. Probably something to do with Taehyung. I roll off the bed and go look at myself in the mirror. My eyes are puffed up and my makeup is smudged. 

Yep, I cried all night, didn't I?

I tie my hair into a knot open the door and find myself in Rose's house. I look at the room I just came out of and realize that it's Taehyung's room. Great. If we slept here, where is he? Did he sleep at Hailey's? How often do they sleep together? How can he sleep with her when he loves me? How does that even work?

There was no one in the living room or kitchen. The kids were still asleep in their room. It's quiet. Too quiet I must add. I take a shower, change into my grey sweatpants and throw a hoodie on top. I tip-toed my way out of the house, not waking anyone up. My head is aching and I need some hungover soup.

I remember Jennie mentioning a Korean restaurant close by so I call myself an Uber and head there. It was a small place but felt like I went back home. The lady who supposedly owns the store reminded me of Mum. How she welcomed me inside in Korean. How she spoke to me like a daughter. Every bit of it reminded me of Mum. She asked me what I wanted and I asked if she had ox bone soup.

"Honey, one Seolleongtang." She tells just loud enough for her husband who was in the kitchen preparing the dishes to hear. "Did you have a bad night dear?" I nod my head. She gives me a sympathetic smile and pats my head gently before heading back to the kitchen to help her husband cook. 

I sit on the small table and scroll through my phone until my food arrives. I get a text from a number saved by Jeremy. I don't remember saving this but I think I can remember who Jeremy was. I reply.

<Heyyy>

                                                                                                       <Hey?>

<Remember me?>

                                                                                                       <Ig so>

<Can I call you?>

                                                                                                       <Sure.>

As soon as he sees my text, my phone rings. I clear my throat before answering it. 

"Hello?"

"Hey. How are you feeling now?"

"Bad."

"Oh, shall I bring something for you to eat?"

"Do you even know where I am?"

"You are where I dropped you off last night right?"

"You dropped me home?"

"Yeah. You refused to go with your family. You insisted on me dropping you."

I don't believe it but I don't see a reason why he would lie.

"Oh. Thank you for that then. Anyway, I came to this Korean place to get some ox bone soup. After drinking that I should be fine."
