The Clandestine Us

Five

⇢ ˗ˏˋ Jennie's POV ࿐ྂ

I am drunk, but I am fully aware of what we talked about and what we did in his car. I'm blaming the alcohol in me just to make excuses for my own actions.

I am still clinging to Jisoo's arm when we reach the elevator after saying good night to the BTS members.

"So, unnie, what did you two talk about?" Rosé asked with too much enthusiasm. She even forced herself to be between me and Jisoo.

We all managed to remain sane even though we drank a lot. Lisa is a bit quiet, showing that she's trying too hard not to fall asleep, while Jisoo really strategized on how she could withstand the alcohol. She barely drank earlier and chose to answer almost all the questions thrown at her. Rosé is a bit tipsy, but we can still say that she's in her right mind. As for me, I tried to match Rosé's tolerance but slowed down when the truth-or-shot game started.

I got lost in my own thoughts when Jisoo also asked.

"Yah, we waited for almost an hour. I bet there's an explanation for that, right?"

"They stayed longer than I expected in Jungkook's car. I bet they enjoyed their talk," Lisa said, squinting her eyes a bit, looking like she was judging me.

But instead of answering them, I felt sudden embarrassment as I remembered what we did. I tried to stop myself from thinking about it.

"Talk now, unnie," Rosé said, still excited.

I sighed exaggeratedly.

"He said he would court me," I simply explained.

"What? Who?" Lisa asked as if she had forgotten who I was with earlier.

"Jungkook, silly!" Jisoo answered for me, giggling.

"You're acting cute, aren't you?" Rosé teased Lisa, but Lisa looked like she was malfunctioning.

We went inside our room. From the door, there was a door for the bathroom on the left side, a cabinet at the end of the entrance hall, and then a spacious room with minimal designs and furniture in our bedroom with two beds.

Lisa was the first one to take a shower, and she was pretty quick. Jisoo was surprised as well because it was much faster than expected.

"Aw, our maknae is that sleepy," Rosé commented with a sad face, but there was sarcasm in her tone.

"I can hear you, Rosé poop," Lisa replied in a sleepy voice.

She was lying in bed with Jisoo, who was fixing her spare clothes to use after her shower. It was Rosé's turn to shower next, then mine, and the last one is Jisoo. We usually follow this routine when we only have one bathroom; it's like an unspoken rule in our group.

"So," Jisoo spoke up. "What's your plan?" she continued, and I understood she was talking to me about what I had said earlier.

"Let things be," I sighed.

Lisa looked at us, then closed her eyes again, indicating that she was still listening.

"Isn't it one of the things you don't want?"

"Dating a younger guy? Yes. It's not what I imagined when we became close to them."

"Of course, it's Jimin you used to like, then suddenly it's Jungkook who wants you. I mean, I don't see anything wrong with that; they're both great," Jisoo said casually.

"I'm confused too, unnie..." I was cut off when Rosé spoke, fresh from the bath, with a towel on her head.

"Confused about what?" she asked.
