[Third Person POV]

You froze in place as you knew that Jennie wasn't lying and you knew that Jennie could have killed you before if she wanted to. Though you were still rebelious and strong willed

A white car pulled over, just a few metres beside the both of you. Jennie took a small glance and she knew that it was her ride right away.

"Y/N, wear those shoes when you come to work tomorrow and get on subway line four" Jennie ordered and smiled. You were still silent. Jennie started to walk up to her white car, leaving you in the middle of the parking lot.

"Jennie" Youcalled out in a calm tone. Jennie turned around.

"You should start calling me Ms. Kim. You work for me" She reminded.

"What about you? Where do you stand?" You asked. You didn't recieve a response from Jennie. "Are your doors not shut yet? Or are you the one who stays even though the doors are already shut?" You asked again. There was silence in the air for a moment. Nayeon got out of the car and opened the door for Jennie. "I know you're not a human being like me, given by your powers. You said the ones with a strong vengeful determination can kill people, are you one of them?" You asked but there was still no reply from Jennie. "You said that you'll kill me, does that count as being a vengeful ghost too?" You asked your last question.

"The one...who is standing right beside you is probably a vengeful ghost" She said with no expression on her face. You was a little confused as she indicated to look to your left. The stood the blind ghost that chased you earlier. After seeing the blind ghost, you immediately coverd you mouthin fear. Jennie smiled, finding your reactions amusing. "Finally, you shut your mouth right away" Jennie looked annoyed. She turned around and started to walk towards Nayeon who was patiently waiting. Jennie hopped in the car and Nayeon closed the car door and walked back to the driver's seat.

"This woman..." You whispered, still being cautious of the ghost the is right next to her.


-At Kim's Hotel-


Jennie and Nayeon stood in front of and old tree, which had no leaves or flowers. Jennie sighed.

"This tree hasn't bloomed for almost a thousand years now. I still wonder if it's dead or alive" She gazed at the tree. The tree and the hotel has been with her since she became the owner of it. She always wanted to leave but, the hotel and the tree would follow her wherever she goes. There's no escaping it.

"It is still alive" Nayeon humbly said. "You told me before, this tree is like your second life" Jennie let out a small chuckle.

"So we can say that I'm alive?" Jennie asked as she gazed at the tree. Nayeon sighed happily.

"I prepared a bottle of champagne for you at the your office" Nayeon informed. "Do you want some now?" She asked.

"Not just the bottle, the whole crate" Jennie felt someone's presence. "Someone's here" She said."Someone very special" She added. "I should go welcome them" Jennie smirked.

She left the tree alongside Nayeon and head towards the entrance of the hotel. Jennie opened the doors and walked outside to find the guest. Her eyes wondered everywhere but she couldn't see anyone. "I swear I felt their presence" She thought.

Footsteps were getting louder and closer. It didn't sound like footsteps of a ghost but an animal. The footsteps stopped just in front of the gates. Jennie smiled towards the guest which was not an ordinary ghost, but a soul of a tiger. They both looked at each other but the tiger did not seem interested. It looked to another direction and walked away.

A girl walked out the hotel and quickly stood next to Jennie. She looked at the tiger that walked off.

"Ms. Kim, wasn't that a tiger?" The girl asked. Jennie tilted her head to the side and looked a bit confused.

"Its dangerous for a sacred soul to be wondering like that" She mumbled, although the girl next her heard what she said.

"Did you kick out the tiger?" The girl asked. Jennie turned to her quickly.

"Lisa, can't you do your job any better? You should have sensed the guest and welcomed them" Jennie complained.

"I've worked here for 60 years now and I've never seen a tiger as a guest" Lisa argued back, playfully.

"Do your job properly" Jennie said in annoyance. "If you don't do that, I'll prepare a bus and send you to the afterlife" She walked away and entered the hotel. Lisa turned around.

"But Ms. Kim~" Lisa pouted. She started to chase after Jennie. "I'll do my best from now on, okay Ms. Kim?" She asked playfully. "Ms. Kim?" She called out. Jennie walked through the elevator and closed the doors. "Ms. Ki- She can't hear me" Lisa sighed and smiled again.


-At Jeongyeon's house-


You kept looking at the flowers the Jennie sent you with frustration. You rubbed your temples, thinking about what happened at the parking lot and before that.

"Do you want anything to drink? Beer, liquor, soju? Pick anything you want" Jeongyeon said as she sat down next to you but she received no reply. "Why are you being quiet?" Jeongyeon asked. She slowly turned her head outside to the porch. "Y/N" Jeongyeon called out. She still received no response. You glanced at the blind ghost who was just standing in the porch. "Kang Y/N?" Jeongyeon called out again. You were too focused on the ghost and turned away with an annoyed expression. "Well if you're not answering then, let's have beer" Jeongyeon stood up up and walked to the kitchen to grab some beer for the both of them.

You then thought about what she said to Jennie earlier.

"Was that too mean?" You asked yourself. You sighed and looked up. As you moved your head, the blind ghost that was on the porch appear next to you. You jumped and quickly blocked her face using a newspaper. You stayed quiet and hoped for the ghost to go away by itself. You then sighed heavily.

"What have I gotten myself into???"
