Girlfriend For Rent

Trial Period

Jennie's POV

Lisa told me that the trial period would start tomorrow, which was exactly one day before the dinner. Oh I had not told her yet about the meeting with my parents thing since I need to see more 'of her?' no, I mean to see the kind of person she is first.

I needed to know whether she was the right person for the job and whether I could stand being with her for a day, Okay?

AND we agreed to go on a fake, tested date tomorrow. She also told me she would pick me up and I could not say no to it.

'Really Jennie, you? Jennie Kim could not say no to a person? ==' Is my mind speaking with me?

I had no choice okay? I only had one day left.

"So how was the meeting?" Jisoo Unnie asked out of nowhere. How could she move without making a sound?

"It was em, okay..." I answered thoughtfully.

"Like okay okay or Wow Okay she's the best match okay." Is she trying to exaggerate?

"No one ask questions like that Unnie." Normally they would ask like are you sure or something, right?

"Just answer my question Jendeukie!" She really wanna know huh.

"It was just okay. Nothing excited. She was cool. Like she is really cool, which is out of my expectation. I thought she would be the cute type. But, strangely, she is cute too. She is doing a double degrees: one in business and one in photography. She looks like a Barbie in person but also carries her swag aura with her. And it's so funny, you know when I met her, she was drinking choco milk. I thought only kids drink that." I was trying to describe in details.

"Doesn't seem not excited to me. Could you hear yourself? You sound like you are an actual fan of her, or in the worst case, her stalker. You seem to notice everything she does and has. Wow Jendeukie I didn't know you have this side in you." Do I really sound like that?

"Unnie, I just need to observe whether she's okay for the task. That's all. And and you are the one who asked me first!" I spoke in a slightly high pitch.

"Alright then. And What are you doing?" She asked eyeing me up and down.

"I am choosing what to wear tomorrow. We agreed to go on a date..." she cut me off wearing her shocked expression.

"Jinjja? You just met her one morning and you're already up on a date? You even struggle to decide on what kind of clothes to wear. Woah Jennie-ah..." She squinted her eyes in my direction and wiggled her eyebrow.

"You didn't let me finish. She told me the company has this 'trial period' thing, which means I can have a kind of sample of dating period before choosing to hire her or not, or whether she would choose to let me hire her or not. And about the clothing thing, I'm struggling because one, I haven't gone on an actual date for ages, and two I don't want to let her get the wrong idea like I really want to date her or something but at the same time, I don't wanna look too unsightly which could downgrade my beautiful reputation." I tried to explain.

"Sounds reasonable." Jisoo Unnie stroked her chin with her index finger and her thumb looking like she's in a deep thought.

"Anyway, how long is this Trial Period thing?"

"It's for a month. After that, I could choose whether I would hire her, and she could also choose whether to accept my rental."

"What kind of company is this? Does that mean she's not getting paid for one month before the actual rental period? Maybe she only accept that terms and conditions because she's not so well-off. I'm getting pity for her now." Jisoo Unnie's face was filled with anger and sadness.

"Unnie, I told her the same thing, but she seemed okay with it. And about her being poor, do you really think so? To think of it, she looks cute and smart, she could do other works but rather choose to work in such dangerous job for a quick cash instead. This all makes so much sense. Oh my god oh my god...!" A thought came to my mind and all I wear on my face is my flabbergasted expression.

"What? What?" Jisoo Unnie tried to figure out my thought.

"Unnie, what if she's working with kidnappers? She made that app and made it appear on our device so we would hire her. Then she just came into my life to investigate me before kidnapping me. She's probably watching us from somewhere right now." I looked around to check if there was secret cameras somewhere.

"It's not impossible though. Should we call the police?" Jisoo said in her worried voice.

"What should I do Jisoo Unnie? Should I just call off the date tomorrow?" Should I? I still want to live to see my future.

"You shouldn't Jennie-ah! What if she knew that you're starting to be suspicious and harm you? I think you should still go and see what she would do to you, BUT I will go too, and observe you both from a distance, and if something really happened, I would be there to help." She did make her point.

"Okay, I will follow your plan. But please Unnie, don't stay too far from me." I said in a small voice.

"No worries Jendeukie, no one can harm you except for me." She winked.

"Yah!" I glared at her.

"Fine, I will stop messing with you and go eat my chicken wings. Good luck for your date tomorrow." Then she left.

I just picked the simplest clothes in my closet and before dozing off.

I hope I would not dream about her.
