Jisoo heard Jennie calling her from behind as she entered the venue hall.
"Jisoo-ya, come here!" Jennie whisper-yelled. Clad in a light blue dress, she looked stunning. Meanwhile, Jisoo wore a white knee-length dress with soft makeup to complement it, adhering to the dress code: dresses and suits.
Jisoo turned to move toward Jennie, but a girl interrupted her, asking for directions to the washroom. Jisoo pointed to the left end of the hall. The girl thanked her, then handed her the empty wine glass she was holding before walking away.
Jisoo looked cluelessly at Jennie, who approached her. "Why did she hand me the glass? Do I look like a waitress to her?" she complained.
Jennie patted her shoulder and added, "Actually, you do," pointing with her chin at a waitress behind Jisoo.
Jisoo turned and saw a girl wearing a similar dress, with only minor differences, serving guests. Her shoulders slumped at the sight.
"Great, I blend right in," Jisoo sighed.
Jennie laughed. "Don't worry, I brought an extra dress just in case. You can change into that."
"Maybe I used all my luck to have you as a friend," Jisoo said in a serious tone.
"Stop with the buttering. I'll go get the bag for you," Jennie rolled her eyes, smiling.
"Okiee," Jisoo replied, smiling back.
As Jennie headed off to retrieve the extra dress, Jisoo scanned the room again, searching for a certain someone.

Jisoo entered the washroom and placed the paper bag on the basin counter, waiting for the booths to empty. Two girls were already there, perhaps waiting as well, gossiping loudly about everyone they had met so far.
Jisoo unlocked her phone, not wanting to eavesdrop, but their conversation was too loud to ignore.
"Have you seen Jung Nari?" the first girl asked.
"Yes, I have. She has gotten prettier over the years," the second girl, with her back to Jisoo, replied.
"That's not the tea here. I just saw her entering the venue with Kim Taehyung," she squealed.
That caught Jisoo's attention. The second girl gasped, "Do you think they are dating?"
Jisoo discreetly stepped closer to the duo.
"Looks like it. I heard some people saying they've been in touch over the years. There's no way he wouldn't be."
"I don't know how many girls will get their hearts broken," the other one said. Hearing this, Jisoo took a deep breath and turned to grab the bag before walking towards the exit.
