Falling All In You

17th

Jennie woke up noticing how dark it is now in her room. She blindly reaches for the bedside lamp and switched it on. She realized she fell asleep through the evening as the clock on her wall displays 9:07 P.M. now.

All she remembers was her eyelids getting heavier as a pair of warm arms embraced her and lulled her to sleep.

Wait.

Chaeyoung.

She looked around her room and found no presence of the girl. She must've went home since it's already pretty late. She's not sure why she felt a little disappointed at that.

She presses the back of her palm against her neck and forehead. She's not as hot as before. Whatever medicine Chaeyoung gave her, it sure worked.

Jennie was about to reach for the intercom to ring butler Jung, when she notices a small folded paper on her bedside table. She takes and unfolds it. The handwriting was unfamiliar but she definitely knew who wrote it.

"Hey, small teeth.
Sorry I had to leave without informing you. It's getting late and I really have to go home. And you were sleeping like a log, I don't have the heart to disturb your rest. Anyways, get well soon, small teeth.

Chaeyoung."

Jennie's lips mindlessly curl up into a smile after reading the note. She doesn't know but she feels like she's getting used to Chaeyoung calling her names.

She places the paper back on the table when she saw the small notebook that Chaeyoung said Jisoo wanted to give to her.

Notes for an important exam tomorrow huh?

She reaches for the notebook and a smirk appears on her lips as she flips it page by page.

She knew it. Those monkeys.

The notebook was empty.

Chaeyoung switched her lights off and slumped herself on her bed. Staring at the ceiling, she recalls today's events.

She left the Kim's mansion at around 8pm because her mom's texting her already. She feels bad for leaving a sick Jennie alone, but she needed to go home. Plus, when she checked the girl's temperature, it's almost getting normal, so she just lets her sleep, wrote a note then left.

She's initially planning to take a cab, but Jennie's nosy butler insisted to take her home. So she just lets them, they don't look harmful anyway (even if they are, Chaeyoung knows taekwondo from highschool so she can beat their asses up just in case).

She was surprised, though, to see her pink scooter already parked infront of their house. She turned to butler Jung to ask, and he just smiled at her saying Jennie instructed them earlier to send her scooter home since she knew she went there with Lisoo.

Chaeyoung felt something pricked her chest at that. Not in a bad way, though. Jennie's sure done it before, sending her pink scooter home and stuff, but she was just touched that even though the brunette is sick, she still remembers her scooter.

She was sure by now that Jennie's really sincere with her actions.

Chaeyoung was about to close her eyes and call it a day, when her phone suddenly rang. She fished it out from under her pillow and saw an unregistered private number.

Wait- a private number?

She contemplated for a moment before deciding to just answer the call.

"Hello?" she spoke carefully.

"Hey, it's me." the person on the other line replied.

The voice was a little hoarse, probably from sleep, but it's still so distinct that she recognized it immediately.
