Chapter Twenty-Three: Back Together

Played Song:
Cruise
(Kygo, Andrew Jackson)

It was JK Group 30th anniversary.

Jennie left work early in the evening, but the traffic was only starting. Everything was so brassy about New York as compared to Paris, she thought, as she waited in line, the cars moving at snail's pace.

Even though it has been a month and some more, with winter approaching fast, Jennie, it seemed, had still not quite gotten past what had happened in Paris.

Sure, she moved away from there and took her up her old job in New York much to her mother's delight but there was this hollowness inside her.

She smiled, she talked, but with an emptiness.

It was an hour later that she reached the building, and rode the lift to the penthouse. The party was yet to start.

The entire living space was decorated beautifully, with fresh flowers and scented candles. It was an intimate dinner, her mother had told her, possibly so that her youngest daughter would make an appearance.

"Hello mother." Jennie kissed her mother's cheeks, "Congratulations."

"Thank you darling. Oh dear, you look dreadful. I think Yeji has something up in her room that you can change into."

Jennie saw her father on the way, and hugged him, formally. It was a formal relationship they shared.

"Congratulations Appa." Jennie whispered.

Jiyong smiled, almost sadly, and then let her go.

Jennie climbed the narrow steps to the hall, and towards Yeji's room. She opened her door, and immediately averted her eyes with a small, "Oh my."

Her heart started beating just like the first time Jisoo touched her in Jiwon's bathroom, pressing her to the door, and dragging her hands all over her body.

Jisoo was sitting on Yeji's bed, in a fancy black suit, gauging Jennie's reaction, looking every bit as beautiful as a goddess.

Jisoo stood up and indicated Jennie to shut the door.

"Do my parents-" Jennie began, and then shook her head, shutting the door.

"Jennie, sit down, please?" Jisoo said briskly.

It was an order which sounded like a request.

Nevertheless Jennie hesitantly went and sat down on the chair in the corner of the room.

Jisoo kept standing.

"I - don't know where to-"

"Why are you here?" Jennie asked.

"Because I love you." Jisoo said.

Jennie shook her head, "I love you too, but sometimes it's not enough."

Jisoo's heart missed a beat. She looked at Jennie, longingly.

"Why?"

"Because you're a fraud. And you're selfish and inconsiderate."

"I am not." Jisoo said, thrusting her hand inside her pockets, "There are so many things I want to tell you."

There was a knock on the door, and Yeji poked her head inside.

"Hurry up, Jennie. The guests have trickled in." And then Yeji left.

"I have to dress up, and you need to leave."
