Squeak!

First Winter at Fire Lodge

Jennie was hiding in Dahyun's closet, where she couldn't help but hear Lisa's conversation with Dahyun. She hadn't wanted to eavesdrop, but once Dahyun had shoved her into the closet, she really didn't have a choice. So she was sitting in the closet, trying her best to pretend she wasn't listening, and making sure she wasn't making any noise. At least, she wasn't making any noise until she heard Lisa say "I think I'm in love with Jennie." Upon hearing that, she couldn't help but let out an excited little squeak.   "What was that?" Lisa asked.'   "I didn't hear anything," Dahyun replied.   "No, I definitely heard something. It sounded like a mouse in your closet!"   Jennie heard Lisa walking toward the closet. In a panic, she did the only thing she could think to do - she grabbed the doorknob and held the door closed. No sooner had she done so than she felt Lisa on the outside of the closet, trying to open the door. Jennie strained silently, doing her best to hold the door shut without giving herself away. After the better part of a minute, Lisa stopped.   "I've got to go get a screwdriver so I can get the door open," she said.   "Can't it wait until tomorrow?" Dahyun asked, yawning loudly. "I'm exceedingly tired and I'd like to get a good night's sleep before checkout tomorrow."   "No, no way," Lisa said. Jennie could picture her in her mind's eye: Her arms crossed, one foot in front of the other, shaking her head vigorously. "If it was just a stuck closet door, I could let that go, if you were okay with that, but a mouse is a potential health hazard. I've got to get in there ASAP."   "And I still say it can wait until tomorrow. Check with Jennie, see what she says. If she said it has to be done tonight, then it has to be done tonight. Otherwise, I really need to get some sleep."   Jennie heard Lisa crossing the room, presumably to the phone. After a brief silence, she said 'She's not answering at the front desk or in her room. I'll have to go find her."   About 30 seconds after that, she heard Dahyun whispering at the door. "She's gone. You can come out now." As Jennie came out, Dahyun added "How are you going to get downstairs? There's just the one staircase."   "The same way I used to sneak out of my room when I was growing up," Jennie said, crossing the room to the window. Climbing out, she anchored her toes in the stonework of the lodge and grabbed onto the drainpipe. Just then Dahyun stuck her head out the window, a big smile on her face. "Did you hear what she said? She loves you?" Jen

Chapter 18: I am actually quite satisfied with the ending. If you, the author, feels that it has come to an end then this is the end :)
Personally, I ended one fic I wrote too because I thought the characters were happy enough and they are right where they need to be, even if there were a few more subplots and scenes I wanted to put in; in this case, the two main couples (Chaesoo and Jenlisa) already have a little bit of something going on when they all started as barely knowing each other.

Of course, then again, I'd like to point out that you tagged this as "slice of life". The genre came from anime which I think you're familiar with. SOL are known to revolve around a few characters just living their life working in their professions as they deal with normal life situations; marriage, break-ups, crushes, new/losing jobs etc. It's known to not have a plot and just revolve around well "life" which was what I felt for "First Winter at Fire Lodge" and I think it did stay true to the genre indeed :)

I enjoyed this. I'm on board and eager to see new fics that you'll come up with ^^

Chapter 18: Oh~so we get to choose what we wanted?!
Ok~~then I'll choose "THE END" for <Fire Lodge>? Don't get me wrong though. Honestly, I like this story as it's slightly different. More real life in a way? But I dunno~~from the moment Lisa asked Jennie for a coffee date to Lisa's plan for a 2nd fire ceremony, I already felt that it's coming close to an end? And when I saw the title for this chapter, I'm quite sure it's the end already. But then again cos I couldn't see the word "completed" under its status, so yeah....I was actually confused in a way???
So yup, an end to this and a beginning to a NEW story, haha!
