Can I Be Her
MISCONCEPTION"Jennie! Where have you been all day? I've been looking for you everywhere." Soojin called the petite woman who was about to enter her room.
"Oh, I just went out— you know... Uh— sight seeing." She chuckled nervously.
"It's your loss anyway girl! Haha!" Soojin proudly said, making Jennie curious.
"Why? What happened?" Jennie held her best friend's hands and shook it a little.
"Kai and I was with Lisa all day long! I don't know where on earth did you go but you just missed your chance girl!" Soojin proudly said.
Meanwhile, Jisoo is walking towards the beach bar with a bright smile on her face.
"Hey sister!" Jisoo hit her sister's back lightly, that caused Lisa to spill some of her drink as she was about to take a sip.
"Where have you been all day?" Lisa queried and took another sip of her beer.
"Well you know, somewhere." She waved her hand around.
"Soojin and Kai are looking for Jennie all day, by any chance were you with her?" Lisa asked her.
Jisoo snorted. "No, of course not!"
"Oh, okay." Lisa answered short.
"Dude, stop drinking already. You're almost drunk and it's still 3:00pm." Jisoo took the mug of beer from her sister's hand.
Lisa snatched the mug back. "Just let me be, it helps me forget."
Jisoo let out a heavy sigh and held her sister's shoulder. "How about a campfire by the beach later?"
"Hmm." Lisa just nodded in agreement.
Jisoo left her sister at the bar to go to her room when she walked pass by a jewelry store.
She went inside the store when she noticed the 'one-of-a-kind' sign on a necklace displayed at the front.
"Good afternoon Lady Kim, what can I do for you?" The sweet lady about her age welcomed her.
"How many copies does this necklace have? I mean, I know what one-of-a-kind means, but I just want to make sure that this is indeed one-of-a-kind." She pointed at the small daisy necklace at the display rack.
"This necklace ma'am?" She picked up the item and showed it to Jisoo.
"Yes that necklace, what is it made of and how many copies does it have?" She took the necklace from the saleslady's hand and scanned it carefully.
"The pendant of this necklace is a 24 carat diamond, carved perfectly to the shape of a daisy with a hint of ruby that is perfectly carved into a heart embedded inside the diamond that symbolizes the beauty of the island, and the lace of this jewelry is made of 18 carat white gold that symbolizes the whiteness of the sands of the Island of Clear Waters." The woman explained.
"This necklace is unique as there is no one like it in this world ma'am. Our jeweler makes a special type of necklace every year."
"Then I'll take it." Jisoo handed the necklace to the woman.
"Our jeweler would be glad to know that you took a liking of his work Lady Kim." She then handed Jisoo the nicely wrapped necklace in a tiny box.
"Call Butler Lee, tell him to pay for this necklace." She instructed the saleslady before leaving the store.
The lady bowed her head when Jisoo was about to leave.
"I hope the dumpling likes this." She said to herself.
Inside her room, Jisoo is walking back and forth talking to herself.
"Jennie, I got something for you." She extended her arms forward as if she is handing out something.
"What is it Jisoo?" She tried to change her voice mimicking Jennie.
"Go on open it." She smiled imagining that the petite woman is in front of her.
"It's a necklace? And it's beautiful too! Oh Jisoo how sweet of you." Then she took a pillow and hugged it.
"Do you know what this necklace means?" She raised the pillow just below eye level.
"What does it mean?" She switched her voice to immitate Jennie again.
She returned to her normal voice again. "It's as unique as my heart and I'm giving it to you. So take good care of it for me because there's no one like it, and it is only made for you Jennie."
Then she switched to mimicking Jennie's voice again.
"Oh Jisoo you are so romantic! I might just kiss you right now!" She hugged the pillow again and jumped on to the bed, rolling like crazy.
Somebody knocked on her door which distracted her from the thought.
"What?!" She yelled, annoyed at the person who broke her moment.
"Lady Kim, your sister wants to tell you that the dinner and the bonfire by the beach are ready." The woman outside the door said.
"Okay. Thank you." She said to the lady.
"Okay, it's show time!" She got up from the bed and took the necklace with her.
"I gotta get to her room before she head out to the beach." She ran in a hurry going to Jennie's room.
Jennie's POV
I was about to head out when...
"What the heck!" Jisoo was startled when I suddenly opened the door. Judging by the way her hand is curled into a fist, I think she was just about to knock.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her while she'
