"We're going to holiday!"

Lisa shouted in the car, making the other 3 look at her dead in the eye.

"We get it Lili, you're excited. But that's like the 15th time you screamed that today for fuck's sake." Jisoo scolded from the driver seat.

"C'mon Jisoonie, you're as excited as her if not more." The doctor, who was busy sucking a candy cane heartily, rolled her eyes to annoy Jisoo from the back seat.

"But seriously to think that Junmyeon-nim gave four of us 3 days off feels surreal. I'm kinda suspicious, not gonna lie." Jennie said while adjusting her make up from the rearview.

Lisa leaned forward, turning the radio on and changing channels till she comes across a song she likes. After she found a summer song, she laid back on her seat before stealing her girlfriend's candy and sucking it herself.

"hEY! MY CAN-"

"I agree with Jenjen." Lisa started, throwing whatever her girlfriend was saying out of the window.
"I heard him -accidentally- while on a call with someone like a week ago. He was tense as fuck, talking about some gang of organ mafias that accomodates near the beach or something."

"Organ mafia..?" Jennie turned to the girls, startled. Then she continued, "They deal on the beach?? That's too devilish.."

What Lisa said wandered in Jisoo's mind. She indeed has predicted that this vacation hid something underneath, however, she didn't want the girls to walk on eggshells, yet.

"Let's forget about it for now. Maybe we're just making things up, no need for paranoia. Junmyeon-ssi would inform us if there was such thing."

"Lowkey agree with Jisoonie, besides, didn't he say he was also going to send Joohyun's team next week? Maybe the poor man just wants to stop breathing on our necks..for a while."

Chaeyoung nodded satisfied, yes, it should be like that. Junmyeon wouldn't send them into a mission of this difficulty without saying a word, he wouldn't do that to them. Although she was just the medical attendant of his cooperation, she knew him better than anyone else.

After the woman with a red fular around her neck, supposedly the receptionist of the hotel, informed them about how there were two rooms that was booked for the four, one with a double bed and the other with seperate beds, the girls settled in their room and started arranging their belongings.

"Unnie, I'm going in for a shower. I'll be quick." Jennie grabbed her towel and went into the bathroom.

"Okay."

Jisoo laid down on her bed, tired after 3 hours of drive. Just as she was drifting off for a quick nap, the ring tone of her phone irked her.

She picked the phone up with her eyes still closed out of tiredness and put it on her ear.

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"
The voice sounded familiar.

"Joohyun unnie. Hi. We've just arrived at the otel, kinda feel wasted after hours of driving."

"Yeah? How's the otel? Hope our executer didn't cheapen out on yall, like he usually does." Her voice came off as joyous, she was giggling on the other line.

"To be honest, the rooms seem pretty clean and lux. Not bad at all."

Joohyun smiled, "Good, good. How's Jennie? And the girls?"

Jisoo opened her closed eyes, straightening her posture on the bed.
"They're fine. Unnie..you didn't call for a chit chat, did you?"

The elder sighed on the other line, feeling exposed like a fish out of the water.

"What is it, tell me. Is it about the so called organ mafia of the beach?"

"Hell- did you know?"

"I know everything." Joohyun was able to imagine Jisoo's smug smile while she said those words.

"Aishh cut the crap kid. I'm just worried, since if any kind of confronting were to happen, they would outnumber you-"

"AAAHHH!!!" Jennie's troubled yell came from the bathroom, startling both of the girls on call.

"Unnie, I'll call you later ok?" With that Jisoo quickly hung up the phone and went to see what was going on.

She spoke from in front of the door,
"Jennie? What's wrong? Should I come in?"

Jisoo was hesitant, although when she heard the younger girl's sobs, she barged in worriedly.

The sight that was expecting her inside was..something else. She was confused, relaxed, confused(again) and worried all at once.

Jennie was sitting on the corner of the shower cabin hugging her knees, towel around her while the water was still running. The culprit was hanging from the wall, looking at Jisoo with 8 eyes.

Seeing the older coming to her rescue, Jennie quickly jumped to Jisoo's arms, wrapping her arms and legs around her while sobbing uncontrollably. "UNNIE!!I-It's a monster! It was going to e-eat me UP!!!"

Now Jisoo was in the shower cabinet, a scared kitten in her arms and an enormous -really- spider on the wall in front of her, while the water was still running from above, drenching both of the girls.

She held the girl tight. "Are you okay?? I thought you slipped and fell and hurt somewhere."

Jisoo felt the girl shaking her head,
"I didn't.. but that thing is huge!! Please get me out of here!"

Jisoo sighed. Normally, she would find this kind of behavior absurt and exaggerated. However, the spider was actually huge, and knowing what type of person Jennie was, her reaction seemed natural.

The elder turned the tap off with one hand before leaving the bathroom, sitting on one of the beds with the terrifyed girl still on her lap. Their damp clothes were wetting the sheets but none of them seemed to care.

"Jendeukie, look at me, please?"

The younger looked up at her with pouty lips.

Jisoo had a lewd smile on her face, finding the situation and Jennie insanely adorable. She tried her best to hide her amusement.

"That thing seemed dead already. How come you're this horrified? I swear to god you were less scared when you were kidnapped and being held hostage by a group of gangsters." At the end, she couldn't help her laughter.

Jennie's pout grew wider when the elder started laughing her ass off in front of her, "What's so funny?? I just have trauma with spiders, that's all! Your laughter is not helping at all unnie! I was going to die!"

This made Jisoo crack up even more. Although now, the younger girl was just admiring her laugh instead of getting upset, it was a priceless sight.

When Jisoo's laughter finally died, she realized the girl was still kind of upset with the happenings so she took initiative,
"Okay, I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have laughed that much. What can I do to make you feel better, Miss pouty lips?"

Jennie's face immediately lightened up, knowing there was only one thing she wished the most. But could she really ask for that to the elder? Would it be too much? Or what would that mean for them? Jennie didn't know but she didn't care either, Jisoo's heart-shaped lips looked really, really soft.

She didn't say a word, her looks were enough for Jisoo to take the hint.
