 “I’m a ing mess,” Jisoo says before chugging the glass of beer in her hand.

          Loving him is like having a soft breeze travel by you on a hot summer day. It’s refreshing and welcoming. Never in this lifetime or another lifetime would he ever end up with her. Their moments are no more than a close bond between a female and male. Reminiscing would only be torture to the naive girl, so she chooses a different path that may help her.

          “You are loved,” Jennie comments.
