028 - D-DAY

Hearing an IU song first thing in the morning is really refreshing.

Or maybe because it's today?

Jennie could not help but smile even with the ray of sun hitting her eyes. Her comforter felt like the clouds and smelled like scattered rose petals. The pillow on her arms were soft enough to make her sleep for another five hours, but her mind did not think of dozing off again. She stretched her arms and inhaled the sweet smell before slowly rising up from her bed.

Today is a beautiful day!

She took a bath with hums never leaving her lips. Her hair freely sways wherever she goes and she skips to her destinations as if everything was light. If only birds sing to her and animals help her to take a bath, you'll mistake her for a Disney princess.

As slackers and lazy ass as they are on their free day, the other three girls were still stuck on their beds, keeping up to the sleep they have lost probably since they were trainees. For a rare time, Jennie did not get annoyed and cooked breakfast happily while her self made playlist specially for this event hums its way around the room from her bluetooth speaker.

Each minute, each second is so sweet

What is this man?I can't help but to fall in love

"All day, my heart rides on that clock hand..." She sings along while sauteing her needed ingredients for one of the dishes she has been studying: creamy carbonara. Cooking pasta is so much work in the morning, but she had all her energy up. "Getting closer to you with each tick..."

"Jennie Kim, for god's sake it's 7 in the morning." She looks up and saw Jisoo with her bed hair, scratching her right eye while her other stared straight at her. She replied with a smile.

"Good morning, Jichu unnie!" She seemed to chirp. The other witnessed how the cook placed the pasta on the pan, and walked to her in surprise. "Why?"

"You seriously cooked pasta for breakfast?" She placed her hand on Jennie's forehead, feeling her temperature on her palm then on its back. "Are you sick?"

"No, but it's Friday today."

"And?" And shortly, Soo realizes. "Oh. You're in a good mood, aren't you? Are you this excited?"

"I don't actually know...." She responded in a sing-song manner. But of course, the whole world knows. She's hella excited. "Don't forget to take a bath early, unnie. They'll pick us up by 11."

"And that's five hours away."

"I'm just reminding you."

"You've been telling us this since last night."

Before they slept, Taehyung discussed how they can get out of the dorm and to their date location without catching much attention from the people. He thought it will look better when the girls--and that includes Chaeyoung, Lisa and Jisoo--to be with Jennie to the restaurant. It would just look like they are casually visiting the place to each lunch. Someone from Taehyung's side will pick the girls up from their dorm, and one of the reasons for this is they have not told their managers about the meeting yet. Sure, it's the first time for Jennie to rebel about 'dating' after their debut, but she mentally noted that it will be her last time to go against their managers... for now.

While Taehyung was telling her his plans, she could not hide her fascination with the guy; other than he had planned this very well and in an organized way (which is plus points for her), he really seemed to be eager to do this. She felt nothing but flattered. And for their whole day, the plan he only narrated was just up until the lunch on Jin's resto and nothing more. Was he preparing for a surprise? She wasn't expecting anymore, but she was glad she will be able to finally, personally talk to him until 9.
