Why her? [CHAENNIE]

Already at home, after taking a shower and having dinner, Jennie decided to work a little to free up tomorrow and enjoy the weekend. Fortunately for her, the comments that Rose left were simple and didn't take much time. This pleased the girl very much, and after a couple of hours she was completely finished with the edits, sending the layout again to the director.

Now she can lie in bed the rest of the evening watching a show or some movie with a cup of cocoa and a couple of chocolate bars.

Rose had been at her friend's house for an hour. They had eaten dinner and, after making a cup of coffee, went to the balcony, which overlooked Lake Ontario. Wrapped in a warm blanket, kindly offered by her friend, Park sat down on a chair opposite the beautiful view.

The girls began to discuss the upcoming weekend. Jisoo said that she decided to go to Montreal for a week in early November to see her parents. She is from Montreal, but her mom is from Quebec and her dad is from Seoul. Jisoo herself is sarcastic and a bit arrogant, but she is also very honest and attentive to details, and has a well-developed emotional intelligence. The brunette is a corporate law attorney. How did Rose and Jisoo find best friends in each other? They are so different, but very complementary. Rose brings more light and smiles into Jisoo's life, while the brunette herself brings loyalty and honesty.

Later, they talked about tinder, and Rose assured her friend that she generally goes on dates, but not for the last couple weeks because of work. Finding a loved one is incredibly difficult for her, and Jisoo, of course, understands this and even tried to personally arrange a couple of dates for her friend with her familiar colleagues. However, after another failed date, the blonde firmly declared that no more relationships with lawyers.

The thing is, Hyeri, Rose's ex, is also a lawyer. That's basically how they met. First, Hyeri was Jisoo's friend and they went to school together, and then Rose met Jisoo thanks to Hyeri. It so happened that the girls found in each other kindred spirits, and when Rose and Hyeri broke up, Jisoo was more supportive of Park. Although all three continue to maintain a warm relationship with each other.

-Okay, look.- Jisoo took a sip of her coffee and leaned across the table closer to her friend, holding the cigarette between her fingers and letting the smoke drift out.- Why don't you look for a girl at your work? Well, I mean, go to an exhibition or wherever you go and find someone?

Rose almost chokes on her coffee as she listens to her friend's next idea. Sometimes it seems to the blonde that Jisoo wants Rose to find someone much more than Park does.

-You think I haven't tried it?- Rose quirked an eyebrow, bringing the warm coffee to her lips with a chuckle.- You know, I've stopped looking for someone on purpose every time.- I'm sure this person will find herself somehow.

-"Someday"- Jisoo rolled her eyes.- That means never. People in this world are crazy, and it's hard to pick a good one among them.

Jisoo sighs and, taking a final puff, puts out her cigarette. Looking thoughtfully at the city, mired in lights, she turns her gaze back to her friend.

-Maybe you should look for someone at work?- Kim suggested, leaning back in her chair and wrapping herself tighter in the warm blanket.

-Of all your crazy ideas, this is the worst!- Rose rolled her eyes, waving her hand.- You know damn well I'm against relationships at work. Especially if there's a power differential, and in case you've forgotten, I'm an art director.

-Yes, yes, I remember. - The brunette shakes her head left and right, rolling her eyes. -I thought maybe you'd changed your mind by now.

-I haven't changed my mind, and I'm not going to. That's a line I will never cross, I have principles too. I just enjoy life, socializing, and meeting new people. You're just like my mom.- Rose said.- Maybe you were talking to her the other day and she asked you to look into it.
