Jisoo and Jennie go to the nature reserve.

 "Hey kiddo, do you want to go for some dinner?"

Irene approached Jennie's desk and sat on the chair across.

"No, I'm going out tonight. Thank you though." Jennie said without taking her eyes off the computer screen.

After a few seconds, she looked up to a silent and starring Irene, who had one of her eyebrows raised.

"What?"

"You're going out on a Saturday night?"

"Afternoon, technically." Jennie responded, looking back to her computer screen.

"I see... What are you up to?"

"None of your business." She said, jokingly.

"Ouch. I'm hurt, Jennie. You hurt me." Irene put her hand on the left side of her chest dramatically.

Jennie stood up, starting to gather her belongings.

"I'm going to check that nature reserve by the edge of town. I've been told that the sunset over there is amazing. You know how I love to photograph sunsets."

Walking towards the glass cabinet, she took one camera body and a couple of lenses. Crouching down, she reached for a tripod and a shutter release remote control. She opened a large bag and carefully placed the items in their assigned compartments.

"Are you gonna bail on me for a sunset? Come on, you've photographed thousands of sunsets and the nature reserve will still be there past tonight!" Irene insisted.

"I'm not bailing on you for a sunset, Irene. Don't be such a drama queen. Besides, I'm sure you have plenty of other options."

"Actually, I don't. I'll come with you then. We can go for food after the sunset!" The woman said, excited.

"No!" Jennie widened her eyes and quickly responded to Irene's suggestion.

She watched as the woman pressed her eyes and walked towards her.

"What is going on, Jennie?" Irene crouched down by Jennie's side and stared at the brunette with worried eyes.

Jennie sighed and looked at the floor.

"I'm going with Jisoo." She said in a very quiet voice, almost a whisper, as if she was confessing a crime.

"Aw, kiddo! Why didn't you just tell me?"

"I just did." Jennie still stared at the floor. "It doesn't mean anything, okay? She knows I like to take nature shots and she invited me to check that place out." She got defensive for some reason though she couldn't understand why.

"You don't have to get defensive, Jennie. Honestly, I think this is great, it's really good for you." Any stood up. "Anyway, I'm gonna finish my editing and head home then. I hope your date goes smoothly." The woman said joking, already knowing what kind of reaction she would have from the brunette.

"It's not a date!" Jennie raised her head looking angry.

"Of course not." Irene said, laughing.

Jennie finished placing her equipment in her bag and stood up. She put the camera bag straps on her shoulders and walked towards her desk. Turning off her computer, she grabbed her hand bag and walked towards the door. She stopped and sighed, looking at the floor.

"I don't know what I'm doing." She said, not looking at her friend.

"Relax, kiddo. You're just going to take some photos and have some fun. No biggie. Right?" Irene tried to reassure the brunette.
