Falling All In You

39th

It's been days.

It's been long tormenting days for Jennie. Days of chasing Chaeyoung, who did nothing but to ignore her and chase her away. She really thought she could fix it. She thought she could still make it work. But she's done almost everything that she can, and Chaeyoung's still far from forgiving her.

Jennie doesn't want to give up just yet. She still wanted to hold on because she believes that Chaeyoung's feelings for her will prevail in the end. And if she just showed her how much she regretted that one mistake, maybe the girl could finally forgive her.

But Jennie gets tired, too. She's been losing sleep. Always thinking. She couldn't remember when was the last time she had a proper meal. And she's exhausted.

It's quite ironic how she always thought that she doesn't want to lose Chaeyoung, when she knew she had lost her already.

"Jen, what the hell are you doing?"

Astounded, Jisoo stared at her bestfriend who was slumped on the couch, a few empty bottles of alcohol scattered on the floor.

Lisa, who was following behind, could only stare at her feet. She couldn't bear to see her bestfriend like this. Not when it's partly her fault why everything crashed down on Jennie.

"Do you want to die??", Jisoo approached the girl while setting the bottles aside, "How did you even handle this amount of alcohol without passing out?"

Jennie just chuckled with half-lidded eyes, her face a shade of red, "I have high tolerance now, Chu. Don't underestimate meee."

"Jen, you look like a mess."

"Oh, me? A mess? Of course, I'm a mess. I'm the messtest mess", the brunette chuckled again.

"Stop doing this to yourself, god, look at you", Jisoo flails her arms in frustration.

"You don't tell me what to do, Chu. Just go away. Both of you, go away."

"You're being like this because of Rosie?? Do you think if she sees you like this, she'll come back to you??", the purple haired girl raised her voice.

Jennie's expression changes upon hearing the name, and she slightly straightens her seat.

"You mean Chaeyoung?", the brunette snickers, "She's not coming back to me, Chu. I did everything! But she's not coming back to me. She won't."

"How many times do I have to tell you to just give her some time? You've been bugging her everyday. Following her like some creep. Jen, do you even know what space means?"

"But I love her, Chu..."

"If you really love her, then give her time to think on her own. She's hurting. You're both hurting. And you bugging her wouldn't solve anything. Just...let her be for now."

Jennie didn't answer. For a few seconds, everything stayed still. This is the first time Jisoo has raised her voice in all years that they've been together. And Lisa doesn't know if she can still stand this tension.

"Nevermind", Jennie was the one who broke the silence, "She won't forgive me anyway."

"Jen..."

"And you", Jennie sloppily pointed to Lisa who was standing at the side, "You can have Chaeyoung now. She doesn't want me anymore. So you can have her."

The tall girl snapped her head up, confused, "What?"

"You like her don't you?"

That caught Lisa off guard. She wasn't expecting this.
