missed chance

4 | mistake

Christmas came by very quick. Jennie hadn't spent it quite well, anyway. She preferred alone on her condo, drinking a bottle of wine after Chahee has said goodbye right after the clock struck 12. Jisoo has been bombarding her with calls, but she opted to turn down Jisoo every time. Saying that she has plans with Chahee, which was a lie. By and by, some of her distant relatives would greet her a Merry Christmas, though Jennie hated reciprocating the greeting, she was good enough to send gifs of red santa hats with a Merry Christmas! greeting. Her mother was quite uneasy knowing Jennie spent her evening alone. She wanted to call Jisoo and tell her to convince Jennie, but she didn't. Jennie just couldn't handle going to Jisoo's place and spend the eve in there when she's very much aware that Lisa would also be there. She wasn't quite sure where she stands with Lisa. Yes, they're the best of friends. 

But do friends, kiss each other hungrily?

They don't. That's why Jennie settled with spending her holidays alone rather than pretending to be fine infront of Lisa. That very night when she called Chahee to apologize while crying, she denied it the morning after. Saying that she's just drunk and she became soft because of the movie they watched, (which is another lie). 

Lisa wasn't well either. Sehun has been very caring ever since they got together. But she'd be lying if she says it didn't bother her that Jennie wasn't coming over for Christmas Eve. It was always like this, her spending Christmas with Chaeng and Jisoo, with Sehun this time. It's just that their families are not exactly near for them to celebrate it together, and her only family around are her bestfriends. She knows too well that Jennie is avoiding her. Even if Jisoo said that Jennie has plans of her own. 

So, Lisa spent Christmas exchanging gifts with the three. Jisoo got her the sweater which she always nagged Jisoo to buy her. Chaeng got her a film for her polaroid, which she truly adored. Sehun got her a necklace, a necklace with a ring attached to be exact. After their exchanging of gifts, they left three gifts below the christmas tree. It was their gifts for Jennie, and Jennie will have the privilege to open it much later. They had a few drinks, not quite a lot. Lisa and Sehun left just when Sehun said that she has plans for the two of us. Which was a movie night at his condo, while they eat Christmas desserts leftovers and marathon watched christmas movies. Lisa was happy, spending time with Sehun, as Sehun never failed to make her feel special all the time.

About a week after Christmas, Jennie will be spending her New Year's Eve alone again. Jisoo and Rosie has been calling her nonstop, but she would often decline with different reasons each time. Especially when she knew New Year's Eve will be on Lisa's, more reason not to go. Instead, she stayed up with Chahee, greeted Chahee Happy New Year four hours earlier, and Chahee stayed until it was also 12 in Korea to greet Jennie. After the greetings, Chahee bid her goodbye since it was 4 am in New Zealand. Now, Jennie got another bottle of wine and ate a fancy meal by herself. Mentally cursing why she kissed Lisa. If only she didn't, she should be out by now, partying with her friends. She wanted to call Nayeon and Irene, but she didn't. Knowing that they may have plans of their own as well. Right after the fireworks ended popping by 3 am, Jennie was already fast asleep on her living room.

Lisa spent her New Year with Chaeng, Jisoo and Sehun. They really went blast off with the drinking, as Jisoo and Rosie are now really drunk and Lisa had to help them get changed and settle on the guest room. Sehun was a big help as well, carrying the two drunkheads. When everything was settled, Lisa and him went to bed, and had a few popping of their own.

Now it's the 2nd of January. Which means that holiday break has ended, and it's time to face the familiar hectic work schedule. Jennie went to work for the first time, she was especially glad that her workmates are really nice and caring. At least her work would be hassle free. She just got back from a short magazine photoshoot when her phone buzzed for the fifteenth time that day. It was Jisoo, calling her about birthday plans. This time, she couldn't find a reason not to go, since it was her bestfriend's birthday, and having more reasons just so she couldn't go and could avoid Lisa, is very much immature.
