chapter thirty-one

Jennie was brushing through her hair when she heard a loud knock on the hotel room door. Confused as to who it was, since they hadn't ordered breakfast and it was too early for housekeeping, she quickly checked that all her clothes were on and walked over to the door, closing the bathroom door on her way since Chaeyoung was still in the shower.

They had originally gone in together but when it became clear that they very well may never leave if both of them were there, Jennie had quickly washed her hair while Chaeyoung washed her body and left the pouting redhead to look after her own bathing. She pulled open the door and jumped back in shock as three cheery teenagers burst into the room.

"Helloooo, Jennie!" Jisoo greeted, drinking from what had been her fifth mocha that morning, "Who knew there was a five in the morningtime as well?!"

"I-uh-I..." Jennie stammered before closing the door and backing up against it, "What are you guys doing here?"

"Well we're here for Chaengie of course," Lisa said, sitting on the bed, "Big competition and all. Wanted it to be a surprise but we realised last night that we had no idea where the debate was actually being held...Chaeyoung mentioned you were coming to this hotel and the fine and good gentleman at the front desk informed us that this was your room."

"Yea, after Lisa slipped him a twenty. I love how you know how to use money," Seulgi interjected, smiling sweetly at her girlfriend, who smiled back.

"Tha- that's great, guys," Jennie said as she comprehended what was happening, "Chaeng will be delighted with the support."

Chaeyoung chose that moment to exit the bathroom, wrapped only in a small towel, holding it closed with one hand with a pile of clothes in the other.

"Babe, where did you throw my bra- Agghhh!"

The blonde jumped back in fright when she saw everyone else in the room, almost losing her hold on the towel in the process. Jennie ran forward and held onto it too, pushing her girlfriend back into the bathroom.

"Get dressed, then they'll explain."

"Um, I...yea, right," Chaeyoung bit her lip before continuing in a hushed tone, "You threw my bra somewhere last night, I couldn't find it."

"Uh, I think I can help with that," Jisoo said, picking up the lacy pink bra from where it was hanging off the mirror in the room, "Here Jennie."

She threw the bra towards the couple, Seulgi catching it in one hand before putting it in the smaller girl's hand and shoving her into the bathroom, pulling the door closed and leaning against it, avoiding eye contact with anyone.

"Everyone's uncomfortable now," Seulgi stated as she took in the demeanour of the room, "Why? It's not like we don't know Chaeyoung and Jennie are sex maniacs anyway."

"We don-, um, I really don't think-"

"Lisa, maybe you shouldn't be, uh, sitting on the bed with the messed up sheets ," Jisoo said, nodding at the girl.

"Huh? Oh. Oh!" Lisa said, jumping up as Jennie blushed, "Oh wow. They...there? So there was like naked-"

"Alright, out. We'll met you guys in the lobby in fifteen minutes," Jennie said, going over to open the door.

"Right. Leaving," Lisa said, slipping out the door, followed by Jisoo and Seulgi.

Jennie closed the door, shaking her head before going over to the bathroom door and knocking.

"Can I come in, sweetheart? It's just me."

"Of course."

She went into the bathroom and saw Chaeyoung sitting on the edge of the bath, completely naked apart from a pair of socks from the waist-down.
