The Old and The New

Chapter 12

Jennie felt guilty. She could still remember the disappointing look on Nayeon's face. She rejected Nayeon's proposal but Nayeon wasn't offended. She knew Jennie wasn't ready. It was clear to her that Jennie was still adjusting to their relationship.

"Nayeon, I'm sorry I couldn't accept this ring."

"I understand."

"No, it's not I don't want to be with you but it's still too early. We have just been together for a week. Give me some time to adjust."

"I know, I agree to what you said. I think I must be crazy but I really love you so much, Jennie."

Jennie bit her lower lip. She was fully aware of Nayeon's feelings for her.

"I know, Nayeon. I could see that but give me some time, okay sweetie?"

"Okay. Don't worry, I'm not offended."

Jennie was going crazy over Nayeon when Jisoo appeared in front of her; out of nowhere.

"What the heck."

"Hi?"

"Where did you come from?"

"I was sitting over there and watching you staring into blank space like an idiot."

"I don't have the energy to argue with you."

Jisoo could sense Jennie was troubled over something. And she knew why.

"Let's go."

"Where to?"

"Just follow me."

Jisoo pulled Jennie along with her and made their way to her car. Jennie was supposed to head to work but she managed to send a message to Seulgi that she needed an urgent leave. Jisoo was more flexible with her job. She didn't have any superior; she was her own boss. So she had the freedom to go to office.

"Where are we going?"

Jennie asked again when they were in the car.

"I'm taking you to a place where you can clear your mind."

"Huh?"

"Just promise you will forget about what's troubling you. You just need to have fun and be happy."

Jennie was laughing heartily. Jisoo brought her to a funfair. They were playing Shooting The Duck game and Jisoo was a pro in that game.
