The Truth Hurts ( HIATUS )

Chapter 16

( Rosé's POV )

After comforting Jisoo, I walked over to my bedroom to see Jennie there sitting on my bed.
" What do you want?" I asked rolling my eyes.
" Nothing," she smirked, " Just wanna know, how's your voice going?"

" What did you put in my drink?" I asked her as I narrowed my eyes.

" You'll find out," she responded. Without saying another word, she strutted out of the room while I stood there wondering what my future awaits...

( Jisoo's POV )

I woke up the next morning feeling sleepier than usual. Probably because I spent most of the night crying my eyes out. I was bored so I decided to go and see if Rosé was awake.

" Morning," I greeted her.

" Morning," she tried to say. She was coughing like crazy. When she realized that she couldn't hear her own voice, she began furrowing her eyebrows.

I guessed that she lost her voice, so I went on google and searched up ' How do people lose their voice?' A bunch of results came up so I read them aloud.

" People may lose their voice due to screaming, smoking, strong use of tobacco and alcohol..." I stopped myself, " Wait, didn't you say your coffee smelt weird yesterday morning?" She nodded her head in response.

" Jennie..." I gasped.
"Surprised?" We heard a familiar voice say. It was Jennie listening to our conversation the whole time.
" The number one loser finally figured out something," she began applauding me.
" Why did you do this?" I asked her.

" Just to ensure that Rosé wouldn't go tell Tao about me," she replied, " You wanna lose your voice too?"

" No," I answered.

This girl was getting on my nerves. Heck, she was already on my nerves. She then whipped her hair in my face and left the room leaving the strong scent of Chanel perfume behind. I then headed to the indoor dining room to have breakfast. Since Jennie was nowhere to be seen, I took the opportunity to tell Tao about her.

" Meh, not surprised, " he replied.
" Seriously?" I asked.
" Yeah, she's been acting weird since the first day I met you two," he told me, " Where's Rosé?"
" She's in bed," I informed him.

I was done eating breakfast and Mr. Huang called Jennie to ask her something.
" Jennie, you graduated medical school, correct?" He asked her.

" Yes, appa," she replied as an evil smile formed across her face. I just rolled my eyes in annoyance.
" Can you mix some ingredients together, and create a medicine for Rosé to get her voice back?" He questioned.

" Of course," she replied as her gaze was now on me. I didn't trust her one bit.
" Appa, I don't want to stress Jennie out, I'll just get some medicine at the pharmacy," I volunteered.
" No, it's okay," Jennie declined.

( Jennie's POV )

Okay, I decided to actually use my knowledge to get Rosé's voice back for the sake of Mr. Huang not kicking me out of the household. I gathered  everyone into Rosé's room and began telling them about a home remedy she can use the regain her voice.

( Rosé's POV )

Out of all doctors  to help me get my voice back, it just had to be Jennie. I mean, yes she did attend medical school, but that doesn't mean the she isn't gonna screw up my voice even more.

" You see," she began, " People may lose their voice due to bacteria or fungi growing at the back of their throat, and you can kill the bacteria by using mouthwash."

" Mouthwash?" Everyone said in a chorus.

" Yes, all she needs to do is gargle mouthwash and her voice should be back by morning," she told everyone. I was a little frightened cause I didn't know if she is giving me the correct thing or not. One of the housekeepers then kneeled down beside my bed and tried to make me drink the mouthwash that she had in a cup.

" Come on, drink it," Jennie urged me, " It's not gonna kill you." I just shook my head, I didn't want that even going in my mouth. After 15 minutes, the maid just poured it in my mouth, so I gargled it and immediately spat it out after. I stayed in bed for the rest of the day, praying that it wouldn't kill me cause even that tasted weird...
