Chapter 6: With a Little Help From My Friend

Looks like accidents are their thing.

~

Jennie was sitting in her parked car for the last 10 minutes. She was feeling nervous but she wasn't quite sure why. That was no big deal. Enter the building, knock on the door, hand over the tank top, get hers back and leave. Simple and easy. There was no need for conversation, no need for anything other than the very purpose of her visit.

She thought that she should have warned Jisoo of her intentions of coming over to the raven's flat to give back the top she left in her apartment three days ago, but she realised that she didn't have the number. The only information she had was the address. Jisoo did not contact her in the past days; she had her phone number, it was on the business card she stapled to the note she sent with the girl's wallet. But still, no contact. Jennie thought that maybe the raven didn't want to start over after all. Maybe she was just being nice, to make up for the moments in which she was rude and that was it. Sat in her car, she thought that coming all the way to the girl's flat was, perhaps, a bad idea. But she was there now. She had Jisoo's top and she wanted her own back. Or at least that's what she was telling herself. With a deep breath, she opened the car door and stepped out, walking towards the building's entrance.

She went up the stairs and stood in front of the apartment door. Knocking three times, she waited for the answer and felt even more nervous as she saw it starting to open.

"Can I help you?"

Jennie pressed her eyes in confusion when she saw a pretty brunette.

"I'm sorry, is this Kim Jisoo's apartment?"

"Yes it is, but she is not in, she's at work."

"Oh. Alright. Would it be ok if I leave this here? It's a tank top of hers that I wanted to return."

Jennie watched as the girl took the bag from her hands, never losing eye contact. She noticed that the girl also had confusion in her eyes. She timidly smiled and nodded, starting to turn around to go away when she heard the girl speaking.

"Wait a minute, who are you?" The girl had a curious tone in her voice.

"Ruby," she said, facing the girl. "I'm sorry to disturb you, I just..."

"Ah... So you're Jennie, aren't you?"

Jennie widened her eyes at the interruption, wondering how the strange girl knew who she was. She wondered if Jisoo spoke of how they met and at the same time she felt surprised that she mentioned her at all.

"Yes."

"I'm Lisa, nice to see that the name has a face."

"Excuse me?" Jennie felt really confused.

"I'll tell you what, Jennie," she watched as the girl picked a piece of paper and a pen and started scribbling something. "Jisoo works at YG Dungeon, a cafe/bar not far from here."

Jennie picked up the paper the girl offered her and saw the cafe's address written down. She looked at Lisa who had a mischievous look in her face.

"I think you should go there and personally return her top." The girl said, giving the bag back to Jennie.

"Are you sure? I don't want to bother her while she's working." Jennie said with uncertainty.

"Oh darling, don't worry. Jisoo loves to be bothered. She wouldn't be friends with me if she didn't." The girl said, jokingly. "When you see her, tell her that I said she's welcome."

Jisoo wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. Leaning over the counter, she reached for a tall glass and filled it with steaming milk. Adding two shots of fresh strong coffee, she sprinkled cocoa powder on top and placed on the tray.
