Exes | Yoonnie

Part 18

Jennie's P.O.V.

"Jennie, wake up, the uber is arriving in 21 minutes!" Jisoo said, shaking me. "Geez, you always sleep in...20 minutes now! Hurry!"

"Jisoo, what the actual fuck?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes. My voice was cracky and raspy, just like every morning - it was the usual Jennie Kim nature, obviously. I usually slept a lot, but this night I haven't gotten more than probably 3 or 4 hours of sleep - I thought of Yoongi, us being stuck together in a haunted room, and him kissing me right after breaking up with his beloved girlfriend, Sana. It all seemed so confusing it was almost unreal to me, and I felt like I was going to wake up from a crazy dream any moment and realize none of that actually happened. But woe is me, it did.

Min Yoongi, my ex, fucking kissed me.

And above it all, said nothing after that. I didn't know if it was because he was shy or if it was because he ran out of time since Tzuyu opened the door right after the kiss, but he did not say anything to me. He didn't talk to me for the rest of the night - I was afraid he was going to spend time with other girls and completely ignore me as if he had forgotten that we just kissed, but it wasn't so. He just acted like he didn't notice me or any of the girls there - he just played basketball with his friends and was completely ignorant. Plus, he didn't text or call when the party was over.

I wasn't offended by that, just intrigued. He had just kissed me, but it made it hard for me to realize if he had feelings for me or not. He usually acted like he didn't care I existed, he occasionally talked to me, but just like we were friends, not like we were more than that. Well, he was indeed dating Sana back when he had this attitude so he obviously couldn't like me, but maybe now he did.

I hoped so.

I knew I didn't have feelings for him back before the kiss, but after he kissed me, the big old feeling avalanche rolled back to me. 

"Let's go to school", Jisoo said. "Get prepared. It's short day today, we have the awards show for the first semester."

I hopped out of bed, took a shower, brushed my teeth, put a pretty dress on, and did my make-up. Awards show, here I come.

Yoongi's P.O.V.

As everyone in my grade was in line waiting for their awards and diplomas, I was standing there and blankly looking into the audience at all the younger and older colleagues, teachers and parents staring at me. My dad and sister were also there, but it wasn't like I cared - they were gonna leave soon anyways, so no matter what I did I wouldn't be scared of the fact that they're also there.

As our grade level leader started talking and boringly congratulating everyone, I stared at everyone standing in line, close enough to me so I could actually see them.

Sana and Momo.

Seulgi.

Jisoo and Jennie.

I stopped scrutinizing the room as I saw Jennie. I looked her up, as attentively as possible, and then did the same with Jisoo. I remembered how I used to like Jisoo back before I dated Lisa and Sana. She was thin, pretty, dressed well, had an attractive smile, and was all entirely beautiful. Then I looked at Jennie, and took back my words about Jisoo. Jisoo was pretty, but was nothing like Jennie. Jennie was my type; she had the "play-hard-to-get" personality, her body was attractive, her face, her fashion sense, her everything. I had just fallen for her a long time ago and haven't realized it.

Jennie's P.O.V.

Jisoo and I walked off stage together after the awards show and Jisoo was happy to have gotten a golden mini trophy for her brilliant grades. I got a silver one, but it was still something - about 5 or 6 people out of the 70 of us actually got a trophy. As we were walking slowly, we saw Seulgi approach.  

"Jennie, I thought we were best friends and you trusted me!" she exclaimed, kind of disappointed but more mad.

"We are, and I do", I said, not understanding what was going on. "Why?"

"Why didn't you tell me that you're together with Yoongi then?!"

"W...What?!" I exclaimed.

I tried to deny it, but it was too much for me. My mouth hung open for a long time, my throat went dry and my mind went blank, not being able to think of anything to say, nor say something without thinking.

"Didn't you see the haunted house we were in last night had a little screen that was connected to a camera in one of the rooms? Well, all of us saw on camera how you and Yoongi kissed."

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I whisper-shouted, as my throat was too dry to actually shout. "You guys knew we were locked in there, and yet you didn't try to help?!"

"Nah", she said, not even looking at me, as if this wasn't even a little bit of an important matter to her. "Sana locked you in there and ran back downstairs to watch everything on camera. She knew how much Yoongi and you loved each other and she wanted you both to be happy. Well, more you - she doesn't really care about him and his life now, but you get my point. Right? Don't be mad at her. She wanted you to be happy."

I didn't know if I was mad or not. Should I be? Should I not be? I was just there, staring at Seulgi and then at Jisoo in dumbstruck horror. 

"S-Sana l-locked us in there?" I asked, stuttering more than ever before. "O-On purpose?"

"If it helps, it was partly my idea too", Jisoo said, and laughed.

After a few moments of silence in which all three of us looked at each other transmitting all sorts of different emotions, I decided to break the silence.

"I'm not mad. I'm shocked, but I'm grateful."
