JENNIE'S POV
-Jisoo: This creppes are surely awesome! (chuckles) You should tell me about every food place you know...
-Jennie: (smiles) You surely enjoy eating unnie.
-Jisoo: (nods)
-Jennie: I've been thinking... Tomorrow we will go shopping with Dahyunie, is that actually a club activity?
-Jisoo: It is (smiles) We are meeting her to increase her self esteem.
-Jennie: And if we actually make it to make her crush fall for her, we'll have nailed it (grins)
-Jisoo: Yup (giggles)
-Jennie:... Unnie?
-Jisoo: Hmm?
-Jennie: We are friends, right?
-Jisoo: Of course, you said it by yourself before, right? (smiles)
-Jennie: (smiles) I'm happy. I have never called anyone my friend...
-Jisoo: Aigo, Jendukie wants to melt my heart or something? (jokes)
-Jennie: It's not-
-Jisoo: You are really something else (pats her head while smiling) No wonder why Athan was so interested in you.
-Jennie: Is he interested in me? (surprised) I-I mean...
-Jisoo: Athan talks about you a lot (smiles)
-Jennie: How is that you get to talk with him that many times? You are not thinking of killing yourself again, right?
-Jisoo: Of course not, now that I have chicken and Jendukie, I don't need anything else (giggles) I'm very happy, and I feel really accompanied too.
-Jennie: It's a relief (smiles) Then, does Athan assist the same class you do?
-Jisoo: My class? No, Athan is not in my class... Actually, I never asked him in which class is him (thoughtful)
-Jennie: It was very weird that Dahyun couldn't see him, right?
-Jisoo: Yeah... Its something really weird. Actually, everything that surrounds Athan is really mysterious.
-Jennie: (sighs) That pisses me off... I would like to know the truth behind him.
-Jisoo: Then you'll need to know him (smiles and srughs)
-Jennie: I don't get to see him too much, so I don't know how I'll do so.
-Jisoo: You just need to call him, and then out of no where he appears.
-Jennie: Call him... How?
-Jisoo: You just have to concentrate, and wish with all your faith that he were here. And then "boom" he appears (cracks up laughing)
-Jennie: (laughs) That's so unrealistic, unnie!

We finish eating and then each of us return to our own house. Lately I've been feeling weird about it, it's like I am a stranger in my own house. Maybe not for my parents, but for me, I'm feeling like this is not the place that I belong to.

-Jennie: I'm back...

-Mom: Welcome back dear (smiles) where have you been?-Jennie: I was with Jisoo unnie (smiles)-Mom: (smiles) It's nice seeing you with friends

-Mom: Welcome back dear (smiles) where have you been?
-Jennie: I was with Jisoo unnie (smiles)
-Mom: (smiles) It's nice seeing you with friends... But remember not to arrive to late at home, okay?
-Jennie: Don't worry, I won't... But I think that I am old enough though (chuckles and heads to her room)

Gosh, I'm dead tired... This is probably because I'm not used of staying outside after school. Usually I just come straight back home.

-Jennie: (throws herself to her bed) I'm so tired~

Suddenly, while facing the ceiling, I remember what Jisoo unnie said. To make Athan appear, you just have to wish it so hard. How's that gonna work?

But, what if it actually does? Everything around me is far from being normal lately... I wouldn't be surprised if-

-Athan: Did you call me? (smiles)
-Jennie: (turns her head around slowly) W-What?! What are you doing in my bed?!
-Athan: Shhh, Shhh... Your parents will think that you've gone crazy.
-Jennie: Why are you still in my bed?!
-Athan: You called me... (pouts and gets out) It's not my fault.
-Jennie: (sighs) It's really difficult for me to handle you, you know?
-Athan: (srughs and smiles)
-Jennie: Why do you keep on smiling at me like that?
-Athan: Jen, I can feel that there's something bothering you lately... Tell me, what is it?
-Jennie: There's nothing bothering me, I just don't understand a lot of stuff and I'm confused. That's all.
-Athan: Oh... (sits at the edge of her bed) Do you want me to help you?
-Jennie: I want, but you won't. I won't even bother on asking you anymore...
-Athan: You give up too easily (smiles) I know that you are someone smart, you should keep on trying.

-Athan: You give up too easily (smiles) I know that you are someone smart, you should keep on trying

-Jennie: Okay... Then, if I ask you something, do you promise to answer honestly?
-Athan: Depending on your question...
-Jennie: Okay (takes a deep breath) First question, in which course are you?
-Athan: In none... I'm not a student.
-Jennie: Why do you come to college then?!
-Athan: Because you are there (smiles)
-Jennie:... (flustered) T-That doesn't answer my question at all...
-Athan: You are so cute, Jendukie.
-Jennie: Another question please...
-Athan: I'll answer just three questions per week. Okay? You got one already... Think carefully what you'll ask.
-Jennie: Why can't anyone apart of Jisoo and I see you?
-Athan: Because you two are special (chuckles)
-Jennie: In which way?
-Athan: Is that your last question?
-Jennie: No! No, it is not... Let me think of something better. Uh... Why are you interested in me?
-Athan: Is that the question?! (startled)
-Jennie: (nods) I'm curious... I don't know what do you expect from me.
-Athan: (looks down)
-Jennie: What happens?
-Athan: I'm embarrassed... (smiles) I just have hopes that you'll change this world. You have the capacity of making stuff much better.
-Jennie: Athan-
-Athan: There's still a long way to go, Jen. Take it easy, I don't expect anything more than you being yourself (smiles) You probably have plenty of doubts yet, but let's take it easy, okay? (opens the window)
-Jennie: (pulls his hoodie) Wait, don't leave yet...
-Athan: Hmm? (turns around confused)
-Jennie: Why don't you stay a little longer? I want to get to know you... (embarrassed)
-Athan: (smiles) Oh, that actually surprised me... Uhm, do you mean get to know me like... In a romantic way, do you look at me in that way? (smirks)
-Jennie: (hard blushing) You know what?! Forget about what I just said and leave!
-Athan: But Jennie-
-Jennie: Leave! Leave now! C'mon!
-Athan: (chuckles) Okay, okay... Calm down little kitty. I'll see you tomorrow (smiles and jumps out of the window)

He's such an idiot, gosh. I look out the window and see nothing. How's possible to disappear that easily? There's surely a long way to go, yet.
