The Old and The New

Chapter 10

Jisoo was busy making breakfast when the doorbell rang. She wiped her hands dry on her apron before making her way to the door. Nayeon was at the front door. She frowned slightly.

"Good morning, Jisoo."

"You're early."

"Yeah, I'm on my way to work actually. I'm just here to check on Jennie."

"Oh, she's still sleeping but nevertheless come in."

Nayeon walked in and went straight into Jennie's room. Jisoo was still standing at the door and she wondered why her heart suddenly felt weird about Nayeon's visit.

"Why am I so concerned that Nayeon's here? She's her boss. Kim Jisoo, you're just so nonsensical sometimes."

Jisoo shrugged her uneasiness feeling inside and went back to the kitchen. She was making coffee when she saw the tiffin carriers at the side of the kitchen.

"Oh, Mina.. sht, I have to do something about yesterday."

Jisoo decided to call Mina. The girl was probably embarrassed about yesterday.

Jennie felt a hand on her forehead. She whined a little before slowly opening her eyes. She was taken aback to find her boss's face was peering into hers.

"Nayeon?"

"Hey, are you feeling better now?"

"What happened? Where am I?"

Jennie got up slowly and Nayeon helped her. Her head was spinning like a turning wheel and her throat felt extremely dry and it was burning. Nayeon pulled out a flask from her bag and poured a honeyed drink into a cup.

"Here, drink this."

"Thanks."

Jennie took a sip and put it away. She finally was aware of her surroundings. She was in her own room.

"Is this my place?"

"Yes, I brought you home last night. You were drunk."

"Oh? Thanks, Nayeon."

Jennie glanced to her side and found her bed was empty. She frowned.

"Where's Jisoo?"

"She's at the kitchen. Are you alright? You seemed so down yesterday."

Nayeon was worried and Jennie could see those concerned eyes boring into hers. Jennie felt a little uneasy but Nayeon was her boss. She couldn't be rude to her.
