Treacherous Temptations [Chaennie]

Date

Roseanne rubbed her eyes and rolled over to switch off her alarm on her phone. It was 7:30am. She had finally collapsed onto her bunk at 3 o'clock in the morning after their fifth call out of the shift. She and Jennie had managed to cobble together some food soon after 9pm and everyone had wolfed it down gratefully. Now Roseanne was looking forward to getting out of Firehouse 7 and heading home for a proper nap.

She stood, stretched and glanced around the bunk room. It was mostly empty now as people were getting ready to leave. She spotted Eunwoo pulling his shirt back over his head but said nothing as she walked past him and out towards the break room.

The delicious smell of coffee hit her as she entered and she immediately grabbed her huge mug and set it down to capture the cappuccino her body craved.

"Morning," came Jisoo's voice from behind her.

"Hey!" Roseanne grinned. "How was your sleep?"

"Non-existent," Jisoo said, yawning. "Byun wanted us to go over all our kit after that last car accident. We were missing a couple of the new spreaders apparently. Turns out Hart had forgotten to put them back after our last drill with them."

"How come you guys get to carry all the cool tools?" Roseanne asked.

"Dunno," Jisoo shrugged, beginning to fill her own coffee cup. "Jun-ho said something about there not being enough Truck units in this area. And since you guys get to play with the super long ladder, we get to cut people out of cars."

"Good work on that last one by the way," Roseanne said as the two of them walked towards the briefing room for their end of shift meeting.

"Thanks," Jisoo said. "That was a nasty one."

"Drink driving is so stupid," Roseanne said. "Although that guy won't be doing it again in a hurry."

"He won't be walking again in a hurry," Jisoo amended. "I spoke to Kim after they got back from the hospital. Apparently his left knee cap was sMartined."

"Sounds painful!" Roseanne said, wincing. "At least no one else was hurt."

"True," Jisoo nodded.

"Any plans for your days off?" Roseanne asked.

"Yeah, Haein is finishing work at 3 today and we're driving out to Wachusett Reservoir near Worcester. His aunt has a cabin out there and we decided to try it out."

"Ooh a romantic mini-break," Roseanne teased. "Are things getting serious between you two?"

"I really like him," Jisoo said, a dreamy look on her face as she thought of her boyfriend. "What about you? Any plans for your-,"

"Good morning team," came Jun-ho's voice, cutting off Jisoo's question. "A great shift for everyone at Firehouse 7. I just wanted to go over some details about the fundraiser we are having next weekend."

The first thing Roseanne spotted when she opened her locker was Jennie's handbag.

"Shit," she mumbled, looking around her for the brunette. Not seeing her, Roseanne changed quickly and grabbed both her purse and Jennie's and headed out onto the forecourt.

"Have you seen Jennie?" she asked Jungkook.

"No, why?" her flatmate asked her, a twinkle of knowing curiosity in his eye.

"I have her purse," Roseanne said, holding it up as if to prove a point.

"Sorry I've not seen her since the meeting. Give me five minutes to change and then we can go."

"Sure. I'll meet you out front," Roseanne said. The two of them had carpooled for the shift, something they tried to do as often as possible to save both their money and the environment.
