"I am not. To be honest, I'm happy for the both of you. Stay strong."

"Isn't that Jennie?"

How she wished Rose was pertaining to other girl. How she wished she isn't the only Jennie that Rose knows.

Jennie took a step away, telling herself that she wasn't the one being called.

But Rose just shouted her name louder, "Jennie! Here!"

Jennie gave up, sighed, and turned around just to see Rose and Jimin watching her.

She walked towards them and tucked her hair behind her ears, "Didn't see you there," she lied.

"Where were you going?" Rose asked.

"Hmm, going home?"

Jennie noticed how she always answers Rose with hesitation.

"Nice! We're going home as well. We can give you a ride!" Rose offered which Jimin liked.

"Ah, no. I can go home by myself. Our house is quite near from here, so I bet a ride will just be a waste of tim—"

"Noooo." Rose grabbed her arm, "We'll take you home, am I right, Jimin?" She asked the quiet Jimin.

"Of course," He smiled at her but Jennie chose to look away.

Rose was the first one to walk inside the car, leaving Jennie and Jimin facing each other awkwardly.

"Uhm, get in the car?" Jimin asked unsurely.

Jennie pursed her lips as she sighed to obey Jimin.

"I did not sit on the passenger seat so you won't be lonely here," Rose told her and laughed. Jennie watched Jimin buckling his seatbelt with a serious look. "And for Jimin to look like our personal driver."

Jennie laughed together with Rose and hearing Jennie's laugh, a small smile unconsciously formed on his lips.

As the car started to move, the awkward silence coated their atmosphere.

Suddenly, Rose pointed at the outside, "Look, Jimin!"

Jimin slowed down the speed, glancing outside where Rose was pointing.

"I missed that food!" Rose giggled.

And Jimin knew it. He has to buy dumpling for Rose, so he stopped the car right in front the store. Covertly, he glanced at Jennie's reaction.

Jennie had a small frowned look, which gives Jimin a conclusion that Jennie doesn't like dumplings.

As Jimin was out of the car, Rose faced Jennie.

"Hey."

Jennie was kinda startled with the cold voice, which she can't believe came out from Rose's mouth.

"Pardon?" She faced her too.

"I saw you earlier," Rose started, "what were you supposedly to do?"
