Ahead of them, the sky has put on a gentle lightness in between hills, a pale pastel for the sunrise to come, when they realize just how long they've been spilling their deepest secrets out. If they were to sit longer, their guts would be buried under the sandy beach and their body would be left just bones. It was as if the world was ending tomorrow and it was their calamity. "I like the sunrise." Rosé speak out as they watched and shiver over the cold yet calm breeze of the beach.
Rosé can see Lisa nodding in silent but Jennie sighed instead. "I hate them, just how people would perceive sunrise as the beginning, I hate them she repeated them again. The sunrise means daylight and daylight means..." she paused. There was no need for them to hear more cause they've known her life between the Chanel, Mysterious aura. They know what she craved more than anyone else.
Lisa watches the three of them, they somehow kind off managed to list the things they wanted and needed to do and it wasn't all white. She shivers for the nth time as they walked slowly to the car. They needed to be avoided being seen. At least to Rosé, it was more significant than the others. They dropped off Rosé first when Lisa finally spoke the thoughts that have been haunting her mind. "How do you destroy monsters without becoming one?"
The silence was deafening and it was making her even nervous to wait for anyone of the girls' words. Jisoo avoided eye contact as if she was saying that her aim wasn't being the hero who slashed the monsters. She didn't expect that. "Heroes and villains, we're all somewhere in between," Jennie answered from them, she looked at her phone annoyed. "He's looking for you?" Jisoo looked to her side.
"No, it's Shua." She unlocked her phone when she saw that Joshua was calling her, she signalled Jisoo to send her back home first before anything blows off more. When they bid Jennie goodbye, she was still talking to Joshua and after they left her driveway they can see Joshua's car replacing them. "Does he have a thing for her or what?"
Jisoo scoffed at the question. Joshua was another player that she couldn't predict at all. He was a saint yet a devil. He was like a plain white paper, rather than boring, he had any possibilities, too much actually. Give him a pen, he can draw a sunset or an apocalypse, basically anything in the vast of the universe. Unpredictable. "We should watch out and avoid Joshua if we can. He can't be an ally nor an enemy. He should be avoided."
"Right," Lisa answered. "It's not like I have that many friends like you. Oops had." Jisoo didn't shown any reaction towards Lisa. "Well, learned my lesson the hard way. And you don't have to be courteous to me, afterall, we're all peas in the same pod."
"It's double chocolate cream chip," joshua handed her the Starbucks drink as he sipped his. "The gang at Irene's and you're expected to be there too. Tae told me to pick you up." Jennie scoffed as she drink. "I saw you getting off from someone's car, who was that?"
"No one worth mentioning." She rolled her eyes. She hated when joshua's like this. After all what he'd have seen, shouldn't he be more understanding but jennie knows one thing common about men, at least men in her life. They expect loyalty from you but won't give them. Joshua held her wrist tighter, his height towering over her, as his eyes looked into hers as if he would find the answers he was looking for.
"If i heard anyone talking about you in some manners, I won't be so kind." He told her. It was scary for jennie that she gulped, trying to remained calm and show him that he won't get her. Aces & Eight won't trampled over her. "Tell me you won't," his voice changed again but this time it was like a sweet yet you know it's poisonous. "I won't. I'll get ready fast so Irene won't get mad."
"Goodmorning Jane, so glad that you can join us." Jennie had to hold herself from rolling her eyes. Irene was at the end of the table next to her Seulgi and Jay. Jennie sat infront of Shua, next to Vantae. In front of Vantae, sat Sana, next to her was empty, assuming Kun who was supposed to sit infront of Jk who sat next to Irene's two little's treasure Jay and Seulgi.
None of them have ever questioned why Jennie was there even without being a member of A&E. They all knew why either way. Kun was almost shirtless as he sat in his chair. Irene smiled looking at all her 'friends' sat at their place. "Hasn't it been a long time that all of us are gathering for breakfast? Like our own happy little family."
"Hm?" Sana intentionally rolled her eyes, "a meeting like this is never good for us, what's the catch queen?" She smiled like the cheshire. Jennie never really knew why Sana wanted to be in A&E but maybe it was beneficial for Irene as Sana was like a double edged sword, just like she was during Jisoo's reign. They did say keep your friends close, but enemies closer.
"Oh my, and here I was hoping that you wouldn't see that as a catch, Nana." She smiled. "Jane," She called out again, Jennie had to blink twice, before looking at Irene. "I need a female. She'll be my ears and eyes. Can you do that?" And now, it's becoming nerve wrecking as all of them were now looking at her. They've planned this. Shua and Vantae must have gave her name. She clenched her fist under the table.
She hated being used. But this was her life, being used and when she's done, they'll throw her away without remorse. Why was she stuck in this hole anyway? This was because she was 'tied' to the man beside her. She felt a hand sneaked to hers, holding them tight. "I'm sure Jane is capable of that." His gripped on her tighten, stopping her nails from digging deeper into her skin. "Carter-Lee was your bestfriend before too. You can do that." Vantae turned towards her as he smiled.
Jennie hated the smile. From the corner of her eyes, she can see that Shua was mouthing, "a chance". She hated it. For various reason. Irene wasn't requesting her help to do that. It wasn't a request. It was an order and she can't escape. Jennie let out the breath that she wasn't realised she was holding. Maybe this was a chance, but not a great one for Irene. "If that is what you've want," she smiled. She swore, Aces & Eight will burn to the ground.
