"So you guys have been hanging out with random people? Without me?"
Jennie steals a piece of carrot out of her friend's packed lunch.
"What's with this interrogation?" Jisoo looks up from her planner and narrows her eyes at Jennie as the brunette picks another piece out, swatting her hand away. "Stop grilling me about her, and stop stealing my food."
"I just met her last Friday night," Jennie says. "You know, while you were busy ditching me."
Jisoo rolls her eyes. "Lisa isn't random people."
Jennie sticks her tongue out at her friend. "I didn't know her, so."
"She's in the same year as us."
"Oh, right."
"I guess you wouldn't know. Your attendance last year was barely 70%," Jisoo states matter-of-factly. "I mean, you get away with a lot of things but I don't know how you got away with that."
Jisoo's bluntness is a bit harsh sometimes, but Jennie appreciates that she has an honest friend to set her straight.
"I had to make up for it, remember?" she sighs, cringing at the memory of spending her holidays doing schoolwork for credit, and worse, being in hot water with her mother. She supposes she always is, but she thinks it would've been nice to catch a break.
"So now you've learned your lesson, you better not do that this year too."
"Your hair's fading," Jennie says after a moment of silence, gazing at her friend's red velvet hair glinting in the sunlight.
"Mm-hmm."
Jisoo sits unbothered as Rose plonks down next to her, jostling the bench. Rose places a plastic cup of matcha ice cream down in front of herself.
"I'm back! So, why are we talking about Lisa?" the light-haired girl asks, digging into her treat.
"That doesn't look like lunch," Jennie says. Her statement is promptly ignored.
"Jennie has never met her, apparently," Jisoo's eyes are on the ice cream as she speaks, her planner forgotten. "Give me s—"
"Really?" Rose's eyes widen. "That's weird. She was in some of my classes last year. She's also in the dance troupe. And hey, we perform a lot! Haven't I mentioned her a few times?"
Jennie shrugs. "Can't remember."
"Jen isn't one for uni politics, remember?" Jisoo says. "Or just uni in general."
It earns her a flick to the forehead from Jennie.
"Mmm, this is really good," Rose hums in delight and offers the sweet treat to her friends. "Try it!"
Jennie shakes her head. Jisoo happily accepts a spoonful.
"I can't believe you went and got something just for yourself. Where'd you get this, anyway?" Jisoo asks.
"I found out there's an ice cream truck when I was looking for the new bubble tea stand." Rose holds out another big spoonful for the redhead.
"Thanks, Piggy," Jisoo says through a mouthful of ice cream.
Rose mocks offense and threatens to stop sharing.
"Oi, I was joking!" Jisoo is quick to defend herself. "I meant to say supermodel."
"You always tease me – this is the last straw!"
Jennie looks on at the two bickering, unamused.
"Hey, Park Chaeyoung!"
The three turn their heads at the sound of the familiar voice. A tall blonde is walking towards their bench, and she reaches them quickly with her long-legged strides.
