Stupid Choices and Second Chances

Chapter 52

"I cannot believe none of you told me!" Mama Kim screeched, swatting Lisa, Jisoo and Suk-ku thoroughly with a stack of wedding programs. "I had to find out from some hotel employees gossiping while setting up chairs on the rooftop!"

Lisa tried to catch the programs a fee rimes before finally snagging them away from Mama Kim on one of her upswings. "We really didn't mean to leave you out of the loop. It was taken care of as quickly as it happened!"

"Something could have been wrong with her - she is more inportant than decorating a ballroom!"

The four of them were standing in the reception ballroom, off to the side while the handful of guest that had been invited to the rehearsal and subsequent dinner were mingling and talking as the dessert course was served. "Mrs. Kim, do try to not cause a scene," Jisoo placed an arm around her. "You were busy today getting everything ready."

"We didn't want to give you any distractions. And as Lisa said, it was quicklt taken care of." Suk-ku added for good measure.

A hotel employee approached them and ask Mama Kim something about the flower arrangements. The three of them took as their cue to leave, escaping any more violence form the matriarch of the Kim family. Eun-woo and some of the guest's kids were running around, chasing each other in what appeared to be an amusing game of tag from the laughter that echoed through the parts of the ballroom they ran through. Jennie sat at another table with Rosé and Wendy, talking in hushed whispers.

"I'm just saying it's possible." Wendy said.

"It isn't," Jennie replied quickly. "Stop suggesting it."

Rosé raised her eyebrows. "You went there when? A month ago? What if it is?"

"Again, it isn't." Jennie said with utter exasperation. "Honestly - I don't even know why I said anything."

Rosé playfully wrapped an arm around Jennie's shoulders. "Because even you think something isn't right."

Wendy played with one of her long black locks. "It couldn't hurt to just see Jennie. You never know - crazier things have happened."

"Why don't you tell us how are things going with Bambam?" Jennie asked, desperate to change the subject.

Wendy's cheeks blushed as she cautiously looked around to see where Bambam was before scooting closer to the girls. "I really like him." She admitted. "I want to do more...but I don't know...how. That might not make a lot of sense though, now that I say it out loud."

"Nah - it makes sense," Rosé assured her. "There's nothing wrong with not having any, well, experience. Just tell him what you're unsure of and I'm sure he'll show you. I mean - if he can't teach you - no one can."

Jennie swatted Rosé's arm. "Geez wifey!"

"I didn't mean it negatively!" The blonde exclaimed.

"It's okay." Wendy said with a laugh. "I know what you mean."

Jennie shook her head, supressing a laugh of her own. "He's received warnings from both Lisa and I - so don't be worried or embarrassed to tell him anything. Because if he reacts in a way that you don't like - just tell me and I'll take care of him."

"You won't be getting to anyone in the state you're in," Rosé teased.

"I am not in any bloody state damn it!" Jennie exclaimed, not realizing how loud she was until everyone in the room was staring at her, shocked at her sudden outburst so much that Eun-woo didn't even bother to point out her swear. "Fantastic," she grumbled, standing up. She politely excised herself from the ballroom, doing her best not to run out, causing an even bigger scene.
