Falling All In You

20th

Jennie ended the song while still plastering that smile Chaeyoung has never seen before. She sets the guitar aside, and stood up, before walking down the center stage. Squeals from the students were almost deafening, but Chaeyoung couldn't seem to mind them as Jennie starts walking towards her direction all the while still holding her gaze.

'What is she—'

Her thoughts were dismissed when Jennie stood infront of her, looking as beautiful as always, and held her hand. She was about to protest, but the brunette gently pulled her along, and they made a run out of the scene.

To say Chaeyoung was confused was an understatement. She was lost. And it's very evident on her face when they reached the parking area.

"What was that?" she asked the brunette who was slightly panting from the run.

"You wouldn't want to be swarmed by those students, would you?"

Jennie casually wiped a lone sweat on her forehead and plasters that smile again. Chaeyoung swears that smile's stopping her brain from functioning.

"Yeah, but I mean...what you did back there...you texted me saying you have something for me...then you sang...that song..." she stutters looking like a lost puppy, "What was that?"

The brunette tucks her hands on the pockets of her coat and averts her eyes away, "I don't know either."

"What?"

"I honestly don't know what I've been doing for the past few days", Jennie said in a whisper, but Chaeyoung heard it clearly.

"I'm not following", she said back, even more lost.

Jennie turns her eyes back to the tall blonde, "I sang it for you."

Chaeyoung felt that familiar warmth on her cheeks again, and she managed to stammer a small "Why?"

"Because, you're...Chaeyoung."

Jennie mentally facepalmed herself for that very dumb answer.

"Jennie Kim, you sure as hell are making it easy for me to understand", the blonde replied in sarcasm.

"But that's really why. Because you are you. And I don't effin know what you did to me, but I want to do music again...because of you."

Silence follows after, and they just stood there in the middle of the parking area, holding each others gazes.

"I just...thought about what you said to me back in the seaside", Jennie's the first one to broke the silence, "And I had some reconsiderations."

"But, are you...ready?" Chaeyoung asked in a soft concerned voice.

"I have to", the brunette started, "You told me after I fall, after I cry, and after cursing life for being unfair...I should learn to get up and face the world again."

Chaeyoung nodded, and a soft smile unconciously made its way to her lips.

"So, I'll try, Chaeyoung", Jennie continues, "Afterall, I've been running away for the past five years. If I don't stop running now, then I'll be running away for the rest of my life."

Chaeyoung couldn't believe she's hearing all of this from the girl. She's feeling warmth in her heart and she doesn't know why she feels like crying. Maybe because she's proud of Jennie. Because the girl finally finds it in her heart to start again. And maybe because one of the reasons of this change is her.

"I'm proud of you", she managed to say while holding back her tears.

Jennie chuckled, "Why do you look like you're about to cry?"
