Free Fall // Jennie Kim

Chapter 5

"1, 2, 3, 4-yeah like that." Seulgi instructed. Eunjin, and I collapsed on the floor after she said that. Exhausted of all the dance practicing we had.

Three days has passed since Eunjin and Jennie talked. After that talk,I noticed Jennie stop asking for attention on Eunjin. I'm really curious on what they have talked.

It's Saturday, today. So, we decided to have a practice for the competition that will be held on Friday next week. We're here right now at the practice room that Seulgi borrowed from her cousin.

I saw SinB and Seulgi still practicing infront of the mirror. What are they, a dancing robot? They never got tired. And Oh, SinB and Moonbyul decided to join the group, too. Since, they dance, too.

I'm not that bad or good at dancing. It's just right. Seulgi and SinB are practically a dancing machine. They are awesome. While Eunjin and Moonbyul are really good.

I never thought the fat Eunjin will have a drastic change like this. The fats she had back then turned into toned muscles. And she got really really tall.

"I think let's take a break. You three look like a grandma right now. And I'm really hungry, let's go out" Seulgi and Sinb went beside us. They were wiping their sweats. They look hot. While me, I look like a sweating potato. I groaned at them.

"Can we just take a delivery? I'm too tired to walk." I whined.

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

Seulgi gets her phone beside the speaker and order some food. When she's done, she went back to her place before. While waiting for the food to come, we decided to talk.

"Guys, did you know? Irene is coming back! " Seulgi said excitedly.

"Irene? Who is she?" I asked. I tilted my head a little. The name sounds familiar.

"A friend of ours. You should meet her, she's really pretty and hot" she said the last word in a low voice even I heard it. I smirked.

"Do you mean your crush?" Moonbyul teased. Seulgi's cheek reddened. She quickly hide her face on Eunjin's shoulders.

The four told me about Irene. They said that she's kind, really pretty. She had this cold aura around her but when you get to know her, she'll warm up. They also told about how Seulgi reacts when Irene is near her like that, they are just probably teasing her. Oh, Irene is also one of Jennie's close friend that's they got close.

"Did Jennie stop bothering you?" Sinb asked, out of nowhere. Eunjin smiled slightly,her eyes were showing guilt. I wonder why.

"Yeah. I think I really got harsh on her that day." she put her face down on her hands.

"I'm so guilty right now for saying those harsh words to her. I know deep inside, I still love her even though I always deny it"

"Then, why aren't you getting back at her?" she looked at SinB with those teary eyes.

"Cause I'm scared. I'm scared of being hurt again. I'm scared that she will do it again. I love her but I can't trust her anymore."

I understand her. I also got into that situation before. I kinda regret it, though. Not giving her a chance to prove herself that she changed. I was a coward for not letting her in, again. But that was the past, I already move on and that's because of Jennie, who is Eunjin's problem right now.

I don't even know if I should motivate her to give Jennie a chance or not. Cause I know I'm just gonna get myself hurt. It's like my heart and mind is battling right, now.

My heart wants Jennie. My heart keeps on telling me to steal her from Eunjin, which will make me become a bad friend. Like what kind of friend is that, stealing your friend's girl. And beside, it's not like I have a chance on Jennie, even a it's a little bit. Cause I'm just a nerd, right?

While my mind, tells me to not to. It keeps on telling me to not betray your friend. Eunjin was there when I was lost at school. Heck, if I didn't met her, students will probably treat me like a trash. So, I'm really thankful to her. And the only way I can get it back to her is to help her get her happiness, which is Jennie.

I think Jennie is not that bad, though. How can I tell? It's because of the way she keeps on asking Eunjin to get back at her, even though Eunjin rejects her. The way she keeps on fighting for her love. The way she didn't give up on her that made my heart really hurt cause I know she's genuine of her feeings to my friend.

I think that's where I should give up, even I didn't fight for my feelings to her. Even I don't get to know her that well. I should just follow my mind instead of my stupid heart.

Eunjin was crying her heart out right now. So, I hug her. Tightly enough to made her comfortable. I gently pat her back like how every moms do when their child is crying in their arms.

The sobs of Eunjin is the only thing you'll probably heard in this room. We heard a knock on the door.
"Food is here!" Seulgi exclaimed, enlightening the mood. She ran to the door and get the foods.

It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we decided to go home. I found out this morning that Eunjin and I have the same way in going home, so we two decided to just since it's our house is a bit near here.

We two waved goodbyes to SinB, Moonbyul and Seulgi. Eunjin and I started walking to our home. I noticed Eunjin is still in her thoughts. After that serious talk, Eunjin was kinda off. She can't focus well on the practice and I'm glad that Seulgi understands her situation.

"I think you should give her a chance." I blurted out. One stab. She was kicking the stone like it's a soccer ball. She looked up to me. 
I guess I have to do this.

"What?" she asked, pretending to not know what I was talking about.

"You should give a chance to Jennie." Two stabs. I heard her sigh. I turned my gaze on her.

"I know you'll regret it later" she was about to talk but I cut her off.

"I know, because I was also in your position, back then. I regret for not forgiving her.  I know she changed but I keep denying it cause I'm scared, too. I'm really a coward who is not brave enough to fight." I paused. The knives deepened into my heart. My chest really hurts like crazy. I look up to the sky, trying my best to not cry infront of her.

"She's like Jennie, you know. She keeps asking me to comeback to her arms but me being so stupid, I rejected her. Until she got tired of me, she found someone else. That someone who is brave not a coward. Someone who's willing to fight for her. Someone who is better than me." I didn't notice that Eunjin stops walking. I look at my back.

"So I think you should give her a chance before that someone comes" I slightly shouted at her. I saw her not moving from her position. She was just looking down. I went up to her.

"I don't think she'll comeback to me, Soojin. I think I already crossed the line."

I gulped. Trying to ease the pain. It's okay Soojin, you gotta do this, for your friend.

"I'll help you then."
