The Old and The New

Chapter 3

"What are you doing here?"

Jennie rolled her eyes. Why, out of many places, she had to bump into Kim Jisoo in the library?

"Do you own this library?"

"No, why are you here? Do you even read?"

"Are you belittling me now?"

The deal with Seulgi fell through. Both girls refused to compromise and left Seulgi bewildered. They just hated each other guts that much.

"This is insane. I'm leaving."

"Good, go."

Jisoo stomped off while Jennie walked in the opposite direction. Her mood was dampened by the presence of Kim Jisoo. She couldn't understand why she disliked Jisoo so much. She didn't have the mood to find the book she wanted anymore. She turned around and left the library. She decided to find something to eat.

She came across this little café at the corner of the street; just two blocks away from the library. Jennie loves their Caesar Chicken Salad and the ambience was perfect for her to chill.

"We're kinda full house now but if you don't mind, I can bunk you with someone who's sitting alone. Do you mind?"

"Nah, I don't mind."

"Okay, right away. Follow me, Miss."

The place was packed with executives from the nearby offices; having their lunch at the same place. It was noisy; worse than a school canteen or even the market. Everybody was in a lighter mood since it was lunch time and their stomachs were filled with good food.

"Hi, do you mind if someone joins you at your table? We're on full house today."

"Sure."

The person was still reading the newspapers and just nodded without even looking up. Jennie couldn't see the person properly as the waiter blocked her view. The waiter took Jennie's orders and left her with the stranger.

Jennie didn't talk much. She just took out her Ipad and started swiping her index finger against the smooth surface. She was reading her emails. Her food came with her coffee and Jennie took her time. She was about to poke her fork into her salad when she heard a groan.

"You have got to be kidding me."

Jennie immediately looked up. She recognised that voice. She came face to face with her nemesis. Her hunger faded out.

"Great. There goes my appetite."

Jennie put her fork aside.
