Among the three girls, Jennie feels that the only person that she is most comfortable with is Jisoo. But for some reason, the past few days she hasn't really been feeling that way. Maybe, since, the day that Jisoo came home with Lisa who brought up the topic of her best friend dating girls, or a specific girl also known as Sunmi.

Ugh, Sunmi? Seriously? Jennie thought at that point of time. She doesn't really have anything against the older girl, actually. Sunmi was Jennie's senior in high school, too, although they never really hung out. Mostly exchanging of smiles across the cafeteria and hallways when Jennie was in freshman year.

Sunmi was one of the jocks, she was known as the hottest or the prettiest in school and when she came out that year, which was her graduating year, all hell broke lose for the people she used to hang out with. Well, only for awhile, because her charms just couldn't make anyone stay away from her. In fact, she got even more popular. Maybe that's when Jennie actually started noticing her in school - she was amazed at how the older girl could be so open about herself and not give a care in the world.

Sunmi made Jennie question her sexuality too, and she hated it. When Sunmi graduated, Jennie felt like a weight has finally been put off from her chest because she didn't have to think about her sexuality again. And now she's back somehow into her life, ruining her thoughts again.

Especially now that Sunmi has met Jisoo. It only felt right for Jennie to be holding hands or cuddling with Jisoo as and when she wants to, because they're just close like that, but she wouldn't want to imagine the older girl doing the same with Sunmi.

"Jendeuk." the warm familiar voice broke Jennie's train of thoughts as she laid on her bed. She shifted her eyes towards her bedroom door, where Jisoo was standing in home clothes instead of the dresses she was putting on earlier.

"Changed your mind?" Jennie asked the older girl who then crawled onto the bed to lay next to her.

"I decided that I wanted to Netflix and chill instead." Jisoo smiled, looking at Jennie who couldn't help but to giggle at her choice of words. "Ppoong!" Jisoo poked Jennie's left cheek and the younger girl laughed even more.

It hasn't been long but Jisoo felt like it was years until she's seen Jennie laughing again. The older girl knows something was up when Jennie doesn't act the way she used to with her since the other day but she decided not to mirror the vibes she received from her.

Whatever it is, she knows Jennie would talk about it with her eventually. They've never really argued before, but it's always like that between them.

They're only much closer to each other than the other girls because, in the first year of college, they literally spent a week together before they started going to classes. There was an optional orientation camp programme which the both of them signed up separately, not knowing what to expect. Simply said, they were put together and only had each other to trust and even though a week could be really short, they've created such a strong bond that made them quite inseparable even after the whole programme which was only about getting to know the campus.

"Come on, let's go downstairs. And I'll help you cook dinner afterwards, I mean, if you want." Jisoo sat up from her position before she lightly pinched Jennie, who was still lying on the bed.

"Hey, Jisoo." Jennie broke the silence between the two girls. Almost as if nothing happened earlier, Jennie and Jisoo are cuddling on the couch while a Netflix show is playing on the television.

This would usually be an 'after-dinner routine' for the girls on Friday nights but Lisa decided to go to bed early and Rosé wanted to "cram in some information a little bit more".

"Hmm?" Jisoo answered, her eyes fixated onto the television while she has the other girl's little head resting on her lap.

"I'm sorry."

Jisoo then met Jennie's eyes.

"I'm sorry for acting up earlier." Jennie says, and then hearing a giggle from the older girl.

"That's okay, Jendeukie. It's nothing."

"No, I mean, really." Jennie now sitting upright and facing Jisoo. "You can go out with whoever you want, date whoever you want... I don't care. I just want you to be happy and that should be my only concern because I'm your best friend."

Jisoo smiled. It didn't look too bright to Jennie though, in fact it looked a little sad for her own liking. She somehow knows why but she never would acknowledge it herself.

"Thanks, Jennie."
