Unexpectedly Yours | JENSOO [18+]

Chapter Five: Dinner Date

Played Song:
Maybe I'm Amazed
(Jamie Dorman)

The banquet hall was not as large as she expected it to be.

There was a long dining table, good enough for seating sixteen people at the most, and a large ceiling-to-floor window looked out into the churning, inky-black river.

"It's very nice. I don't remember it this way." Jennie said, as Jisoo led her towards the end of the table which was arranged for them.

Jisoo motioned for Jennie to sit down at the head of the table, and she sat to her right.

They were sitting opposite to the window, and Jennie could see out, vaguely, because of the dimly illuminated lightings.

"You've been here before."

"Once, I think. Long back."

Jisoo leaned back on her chair, "Do you like the new set-up?"

"Yes I do. I also liked the previous one." Jennie looked around.

Jisoo unscrewed the wine bottle in a swift movement like only an expert could do and poured it into their glasses.

"I met your grandfather that day." Jennie said taking a sip. It was very light. "And your uncle. Very nice people."

Jisoo smirked like she found it amusing.

"Pity, I missed you. I was in Seoul all this while. I came down after he passed away."

Jennie nodded soberly, "Yes, many cried that day. He was well loved."

Jisoo shrugged, "I suppose so."

Jisoo sounded cold, like she did not really care much.

Jennie did not know much about the Kcorp family. They were wealthy, of course, powerful, influential but from what some say, they were downright scandalous.

It was strange because she had never found anything scandalous on the magazines.

She remembered her sister once commenting, years back, that she would like to date one of Kcorp boys or girls.

"What is your family like, Jisoo?"

Jisoo thought about it, "They're all great, busy with themselves. You might be able to meet them. They're all coming down for the anniversary next month. You'll come, won't you?"

"I-I can't help but notice you didn't say much about them."

Jisoo was resting her hand on the table, and she stretched it to take Jennie into hers.

"Do you really want to talk about my family?" she asked, stroking Jennie's pulse.

It was working terribly fast, of course.

"What do you want to talk about then?" Jennie answered then.

"I would actually like to talk about you."

Here it goes again.

"-but I understand you don't want to broach sensitive topics, so... I read your-email."

The door opened and waiter came in with the first course.

Chive and prawn Chinese dumpling as appetizers.

They ate for a few seconds in silence.

"I wanted to talk you out of those curtains. Look out there."

Jennie jerked her chin to the large windows. Jisoo followed her gaze.
