As Jennie stepped into the university gates along with Rosé and Irene, a trace of nervousness filled in her. With a positive perception, she came here to clear her mind from unwanted thoughts but that was slowly curtailing when the students gave her a strange leer. Like a chick that doesn't get sufficient oxygen through the hard shell, her soul got trapped in a veneer of insecurities.
Rosé pulled Irene's sleeve and whispered into her ear. "Get your assignment fast done and come back. I will be with Jennie."
"Alright. Take care of her." Irene muttered and went to get her business done to come back as soon as possible.
"I_I am scared, Rosé." Jennie tightly gripped Rosé's hand in fear. She could feel people criticizing her. On normal days, she would not mind but today, she was feeling anxiety. Did Kai spread the news of his assault?
"Shall we go to your favorite spot, the library? No one would disturb us." Rosé quickly added. "Don't panic, Jennie. I am here for you." Rosé convinced, stroking Jennie's arm. Jennie would strike back and shut everyone's mouth if it was another time but all changed because of that bastard.
"Okay." Jennie nodded her head like a meek little kitten and headed to the library. She picked a book to pass the time and settled next to Rosé. All of a sudden, a girl sitting at the same table got up and left the place.
Rosé's eyes glowed with savage fire. She didn't miss the disgusted look on the girl's face directed at Jennie. What on the earth is that idiotic girl thinking? Does she have a death wish?
Meanwhile, two other girls sitting adjacent to Jennie were exchanging looks, their cues were palpable to Jennie.
Their conduct vexed Jennie and she got up from the chair and approached the girls. She snatched the mobile from one of the girl's hands and to horror, it was the pictures that Kai has thrown onto her face. The parts of her body were blurred but her face was clear in all the pictures. Who is it? What did they gain from it? Tears welled up from deep inside and coursed down her cheek.
"Who sent this?" Rosé demanded.
"A friend of mine from the business department." The girl choked on her breath as she explained. "It is spread to the whole university." She recited the last two words in a whisper.
Rosé snatched the mobile from Jennie's hand and threw it onto the floor. She did not mind if it was broken. Those girls deserve it.
It's not good to stay here anymore. Someone is deliberately potting against Jennie. I have to inform Jin and Francis at any cost. Rosé immediately messaged Irene to meet at the entrance.
"Let's go home," Rosé held Jennie's arm, and before she pulled her out of the library, they heard a comment.
"I never thought she is such kind of girl." The library administrator snapped.
"She brought a shame to the university!"
Jennie sharply gazed at him, her icy stares bored into him, making it hard not to back away. He was the same person who has praised her in the past for her outstanding accomplishments. Sure, people change.
"Don't mind those street dogs," Rosé's voice was loud enough for the librarian to hear and shut his mouth. I will look after this dimwit library administrator tomorrow. If not taking care of Jennie was her priority, Rosé would have taught him a life lesson.
Rosé thought it was only the librarian that wrecked Jennie but she was cornered by the people here. She has suffered enough with Kai's assault already and on top of it, this scandal broke her heart.
"Woah! The great Jennie is here!" A man commented. "I must say, you are damn hot in the photos."
"One more word from your mouth, Mr. Tyson Fhal." Irene appeared and shielded Jennie protectively. "Your family name will be in rags by tomorrow."
