BEHIND THE GAVEL(Jensoo And Chaelisa)

Late Night Discussions

3 days later:
Jisoo met up with her best friend, Lisa, and Lisa's girlfriend, Rosé, at a small ramen shop. Lisa and Jisoo had been inseparable since elementary school. Lisa, a detective with a sharp wit, always knew how to lighten the mood, while Rosé, a social worker, balanced Lisa's fiery nature with her gentle, compassionate demeanor.

"Let me guess," Lisa smirked as Jisoo sat down. "You and Judge Kim went head-to-head again? Seriously, when are you two just going to kiss and get it over with?"

Rosé laughed softly, nudging Lisa. "Lisa! Stop teasing her. You know how stubborn Jisoo is."

Jisoo blushed, trying to hide her smile. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Uh-huh," Lisa teased, slurping her ramen. "Sure, because the 'let's argue until we make out' thing isn't obvious to everyone."

Jisoo threw a napkin at Lisa, but couldn't help laughing. "You're impossible."

Rosé leaned over, whispering with a mischievous grin, "It's true, though. You and Jennie have chemistry. Maybe you just need to... let go."

"Whatever," Jisoo muttered, but the smile on her face lingered as she thought about Jennie.

"You can't fool us," Lisa teased, throwing an arm around Jisoo's shoulders. "You've got it bad."

Jisoo shook her head, trying to play it off. "It's complicated."

Rosé smiled sympathetically, her tone softening. "Well, complicated or not, you deserve to be happy. Just... don't wait too long to tell her how you feel."

Jisoo's smile returned, though there was a hint of nervousness in it. "It isn't that simple. We keep running into each other,we just talk a little bit about work or other things,we are getting to know each other,I am curious about her and I know there can something more between us."

Rosé exchanged a glance with Lisa, who raised an eyebrow. "You mean, like, feelings?"

Jisoo hesitated, then nodded. "Yeah. I wasn't sure at first, and Jennie... she's not the type to let people in easily. It's hard to know what she's thinking sometimes."

Rosé leaned back, her eyes thoughtful. "That explains why she always seems so... guarded."

"Exactly," Jisoo agreed. "But over time, I realized I cared about her a lot more than I thought. And I think she feels the same, even if she hasn't said it out loud."

Lisa smiled knowingly. "Oh, she feels the same. Trust me."

Jisoo looked up, surprised. "What makes you say that?"

Rosé grinned, nudging Lisa. "You remember when we met Jennie? It was so obvious."

Lisa nodded, her eyes lighting up. "Oh, totally. When we first met her, she acted all cold and distant, like she didn't care. But the second your name came up, she got all... tense."

Jisoo blinked. "Tense?"

"Yeah," Rosé added, laughing softly. "We didn't even say much. We just mentioned that we knew you, and she went quiet. You could see she was trying not to react, but it was written all over her face."

Lisa leaned in, her voice teasing. "Face it, Jisoo. Jennie's into you, whether she admits it or not."

Jisoo felt a flush creep up her neck. "She's just... reserved. It doesn't mean anything."

Rosé shook her head, a knowing smile playing on her lips. "It means more than you think. Jennie's not one to show her emotions, but that's probably why it's so obvious when she does. She might not say much, but you can tell by the way she looks at you, by the way she talks about you when you're not around."

Lisa nudged Jisoo playfully. "You just need to give her a push. Or, you know, maybe she's waiting for you to make the first move."

Jisoo's heart skipped a beat at the thought. "You really think so?"

Rosé nodded firmly. "Absolutely. You've both been dancing around each other for so long, and it's clear there's something there. You just need to stop overthinking it."

Jisoo bit her lip, her mind racing with everything they had said.

But before she could think any further, Lisa's voice cut through her thoughts. "So, what are you going to do about it?"

Jisoo hesitated for a moment, then smiled, a spark of determination in her eyes. "I guess I'll find out."
Jisoo is still thinking about the moment she shared with Jennie that day.

Lisa leaned in closer, her grin widening. "Besides, I think Jennie likes a challenge. And you, my best friend, are definitely a challenge."

Jisoo laughed, shaking her head. "Thanks for the vote of confidence."

Rosé rested a hand on Jisoo's arm, her expression gentle. "You've got this, Jisoo. Just take things slow and see where it goes."

Jisoo smiled, feeling a little lighter now that she had shared her worries with her friends. She was about to thank them when the familiar sound of a phone notification interrupted the moment.

A/N: She don't even know how much Jennie thinks about her since that day,Jisoo is so oblivious tho.

Jisoo glanced down at her phone, and her breath caught in her throat when she saw Jennie's name on the screen.

Jennie: Still thinking about you. Are you free tonight?

Jisoo's pulse quickened, her heart racing as she stared at the message. She quickly typed back.

Jisoo: I might be. What do you have in mind?

A reply came almost instantly.

Jennie: Come over. I'll cook for you.

Lisa and Rosé exchanged a knowing look as Jisoo's face flushed, her fingers hovering over the keyboard.

Jisoo: Be there in 20.

Jisoo slipped her phone back into her pocket and looked up to see Lisa and Rosé grinning at her.

"Let me guess," Lisa said, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Judge Kim wants to see you?"

Jisoo nodded, biting back a smile. "Yeah. She wants to 'cook' for me."

Lisa burst out laughing, while Rosé tried to hold back her giggles. "Oh, is that what we're calling it now?"

Jisoo rolled her eyes, but the teasing couldn't dampen her excitement. "You guys are ridiculous."

Rosé gave her a gentle nudge. "Go. Have fun. And, Jisoo... be honest with her.Just ask her out or if she want to take thing slow,then let it be."

Jisoo stood up, grabbing her jacket. "You're right. I'll see you guys later."

Lisa waved her off with a wink. "Go get 'cooked'!"

Rosé and Lisa exchanged triumphant smiles, knowing that they had successfully nudged their best friend in the right direction.
Jisoo sighed, knowing her friends were right.

A/N: If you guys are wondering that why Jisoo haven't told her best friends about the moment she shared with Jennie that's because she cares about Jennie's privacy.
