Mrs. & Mrs. Kim| Jensoo

Ch 5. Playing With Fire.

JENNIE 💍

The drive on the way home is completely silent. Every cell in her body feels numb. She grips the steering wheel harshly as result of being tense. It's hard to pin point what she feels.

She knows she should let go, maybe take a different route home but she doesn't want to.

All she can think about is Jisoo.

Their love was dangerous from the beginning. Built off of a foundation of lies not just on her part but Jisoo's. Like a raging fire that was bound to grow into an explosion.

Jennie scolds herself for falling for her in the first place. She should have put out the fire before it even started, now she's the one getting burned in the end.

Every kiss only added to the flames.
Every touch lingered like a burn against her skin.
Every time Jisoo held her in her arms was the equivalent to being tangled up in barbwire.

It's clear Jennie never learned. Being with Jisoo was the most pleasurable pain she had ever experienced in her life.

If one thing was clear, it was that Jennie Kim liked playing with fire.

•••

It's a foreign feeling really. She hasn't felt grief for anyone since she was five. It's cause she's been training herself not to feel it for so long.

She sat alone at a table for two at a restaurant known as La Vie en Rose. A glass of white wine in her hand. A black dress that hugged her body in just the right way. Her hair curled in perfect waves down her back. And for who?

Wiping the lone tear, she does her best not to think about it. Maybe it's cause she loved her.

She feels a presence behind her, followed by a familiar warm hand. They take her wine glass and pour a little more. Closing her eyes the corner of her lips lift into a small smile.

Of course. She underestimated her.

"Excuse me for Interrupting this moment. Thought I'd just drop in." Jisoo smiles while presenting herself. "I have one last problem to face."

Swallowing her feelings Jennie smiles back up at her. "Which is?"

"I want a divorce."

"I like it. You proposed to me here so it has a meaning of symmetry."

"Thought you would." Jisoo nods walking over to the chair across from Jennie. "Can I sit?"

"No."

But as to be expected of Kim Jisoo, she does so anyways. Stealthily Jennie grabs the pistol strapped to her thigh. She rests it in her lap, covering it with her napkin.

Jisoo makes a show of covering her own lap with a napkin, letting Jennie know that she's no idiot. They're playing the same game after all.

"Champagne, Miss?" A waiter asks.

"No. Champagne is for celebrating. I'll have a martini." Jisoo says while keeping her gaze on Jennie.

Leaning in a little closer to Jisoo she doesn't want to beat around the bush any longer.

"What is it that you want Jisoo?"

"We have an unusual situation Jennie. You obviously want me dead. But I'm just as good as you are so what do we do? Do we shoot it out here? Hope for the best?" Jisoo offers with a grin.
