"Ya! Jennie Kim!" a loud voice suddenly disturbed the silence of Jennie's bedroom. "Ugh! What's with the smell?"

Jennie woke up with a start. She was blinded by the lights flooding inside her bedroom when Jisoo snatched the blind covers on the high windows, allowing the high noon sun to flood and fill the stillness of Jennie's room in full blast. Jennie tried to snatch her bed covers to protect her eyes from the blinding light but Jisoo was quicker to pull it away from Jennie's grasp.

"Wake up, sleepyhead!" Jisoo said while repeatedly tugging Jennie's arm to pull her up. "Come on!"

"Not now, Chu," Jennie said weakly. She resisted and pulled her arm away from Jisoo's grip. "My head is seriously aching pretty bad right now," Jennie said groggily in a hoarse voice.

"Aigoo! What did you do last night, Jendeukie?" Jisoo asked as she settled herself in one of the corners of Jennie's queen-sized bed and gave up her futile attempts to pull Jennie up.

"Nothing," Jennie responded and crawled under her massive pillows for shades. Her eyes were puffy and stinging, so she kept them tightly shut.

Her head was aching so bad she wondered wildly if it was possible for her skull to just crack open and let out all the throbbing pain inside it to make it go away. She's never had a bad hangover before. Nasty soju.

But Jisoo was being Jisoo. She would get into the bottom of the matter by being persistent.

"Don't nothing me, Jennie Kim! Mr. Young told me you came home drunk at 4 AM. That's definitely not nothing, if you ask me," Jisoo persisted.

"Is it really necessary for Mr. Young to report everything to you, Chu?" Jennie wondered under the cool comforts of her soft pillows. She remembered vividly how she was so pissed at the head of security last night for blabbing what she did to Jisoo. And at Jisoo, too, for treating her like she was a three year old who can't be trusted with her actions.

"No," Jisoo said. "But I feel the need to ask him because I was worried sick about you last night," Jisoo answered calmly.

It was one of the things that Jennie liked about Jisoo. Kim Jisoo could be annoying and extra persistent to the point that she might hang you dry in the open just so she could finally get the answer that she's been searching for from you--which she learned from her dad, being a head of security and detective services--but would still care for you because she's a great friend who got your back. Always.

"I was fine last night," Jennie responded in a rather defensive voice, her voice was still hoarse. "Jesus, I need water!" she desperately added after a series of groaning and clearing of her throat. Her throbbing head was too much for her to bear.

Jisoo asked the housemaid that she brought with her inside Jennie's bedroom to get Jennie a glass of water, an aspirin for her headache and a strong black coffee. The housemaid then quickly heed to Jisoo's request and came back in less a minute with the hangover remedies that Jisoo was asking.

After Jisoo forcibly but patiently told Jennie to take the aspirin, gulped all the water from the tall, crystal glass, and take a sip from the cup of string black coffee, Jisoo asked the housemaid nicely to leave Jennie and her alone. 

That's another thing Jennie liked about Kim Jisoo. She could be that annoying, nosy friend, but would look after you like a big sister and care and scold you like a mother. Jisoo was always so collected and decisive. Like, she already knew what to do before everyone would. Maybe it had something to do with her being involved in charity works. Or from reading a hundred books already. Or maybe Kim Jisoo was living up to her name.
