Why her? [CHAENNIE]

***

Friday, February 28 was the last day of winter and the car show. The team attended the event in the evening, celebrating the success of the first show, where they received good feedback on the software and the car. There is still a lot to strive for, things to change and refine, but the overall result is impressive. Seokjin is happy with the work done, the client company is happy too, and so is the whole team that worked on the interface.

On this day, Jennie is partly happy too, standing modestly aside and watching her colleagues chatting and congratulating each other. On the last day of the exhibition people gathered in countless numbers - it seems as if the whole Toronto gathered here at one moment. The crowd is stifling, but Jennie bravely endures it until the very end of the event. Being in her thoughts the whole evening, she did not notice how the time passed surprisingly quickly, despite all the brightness of the event.

Rose, unlike Jennie, socialized more with the other guys, as well as with members of the different competitor teams, interacting like a professional with professionals. Rose's strategy is always the right one - to make acquaintances, because that's how she gets good contracts. Word of mouth works perfectly.

Toward ten o'clock in the evening everyone started to leave. The impressions from the evening were very good, so many people left the event with smiles on their faces. Jennie also smiled at the end, hiding her inner worries about Rose behind this mask. Seokjin praised the girl more than once for her contribution to the software development, also praised his whole team, hugging almost everyone, sincerely saying everything that is on his heart. Seokjin himself is a great leader and he deserves such a team, and it deserves him. At this rate, the company is poised for success.

-I'll give you a ride.- Rose says immediately, seeing Jennie's hands shaking a little from the cold trying to order a cab on the noisy street.

There are huge crowds around the building, parking lots are jammed everywhere and anywhere. It is a quest for a person to find his own taxi.

-Are you sure?- Jennie asked, more for the sake of propriety than anything else, knowing Rose's answer to her question.

In truth, Jennie doesn't have the energy to resist, to smile, or to keep any sort of mask of joy. She's angry, worried, and feels the time with Rose slipping through her fingers, irrevocably gone. Soon everything will be over and it makes the girl do anything to prolong these moments and enjoy them with the blonde.

It was snowing the soft snow that Jennie loves so much. On another day she would have smiled at it, but right now all she feels is wistful. She remembers how it snowed last year when she was with Rose, and then again and again..... Now it's happening again, but the happiness is filled with sadness and sadness at the thought that soon it will all be over, winter and feelings.

Rose sighs at Kim's question, just looking at her with that look, "Are you still asking me that?"

-Let's go.- The girl nods her head toward the huge parking lot and, placing her hand on Jennie's back for a second, gently guides her in the right direction.

Jennie gives up and they walk past a crowd of people looking for their parked cars, wanting to get to the black sedan faster. Luckily, Rose has found a spot very close to the main entrance and the car is literally facing the building itself. Before she even gets to the car, Rose is already disarming it from the alarm.

-Rosie?!

A familiar, but slightly uncertain voice came from the side. Rose immediately stopped, quickly looking for the source, and squinted to see a familiar figure, causing her face to spread into a happy smile.
