JENNIE

It was now midnight. Me and my members were finally resting at the dorms. 

I was dead tired but I couldn’t sleep thinking about what happened earlier today.

Manager hyung drove us to a random bowling arcade about 15 mins from where we stayed.

As we entered the place, we found that it was actually pretty nice.

It was a lot more dim compared to where we usually went.

And it was literally like walking into a video game - with just neon lights lighting up the place.

It was too dark to see peoples’ faces too, which was perfect. Now we didn’t have to wear masks while we
