Chapter I

The Old and The New

The club was pumping into life – music, booze and hot y dancers crowding on the floor; everybody was definitely enjoying the night. Nobody stopped – everyone just went smoothly with the music. The DJ kept spinning the records – it was definitely a long night.

 

"Why am I here?"

 

A young lady with no intention to party; was promptly dragged down to the club by her older sisters. They needed to chill and she was the one only cooped up in her room; crying.

 

"Loosen up a little!"

 

Seulgi was grinding against her partner, Irene and the young lady just rolled eyes at her.

 

"What are you doing?"

 

"We're dancing."

 

"That's not dancing; that's grinding."

 

Seulgi could only grin at her. She rolled her eyes back at Seulgi.

 

"Oh come on, Jisoo. You have to really chill out. You used to enjoy dancing. You were a wild cat back then!"

 

"That was a long time ago. That was when Lisa was still with me."

 

Her heart ached so much at the mention of that name. But Seulgi refused to buy it. She had always wanted her best friend to move on from her heartache.

 

"That's the reason why I brought you here. You're supposed to let loose and forget about her. She wouldn't care for all you know."

 

Seulgi put her arms around Jisoo and gripped her arm tightly around the younger girl's neck.

 

"Ow."

 

"Come on. Don't be a wet blanket. You're supposed to go wild; drunk and crazy. That's how a heart broken girl should get over her stupid lost love."

 

Jisoo was pulled to the dance floor with Irene and Seulgi; surrounding her. Soon, the broken-hearted girl let herself loose and partied all night long.

 

"To hell with Lisa! I should learn to be happy!"

 

She attempted to make herself feel better.

 

 

 

 

 

"Urgh, what the hell."

 

Jisoo woke up with a splitting headache that threatened to tear out her brains into pieces. She slowly sat up and pulled herself closer to the bed rest. She pressed her thumbs hard onto her temples; circling them around in motion to relieve the throbbing pain. She slowly opened her eyes and was getting more aware of her surroundings. She looked around with her half opened eyes and realised something was amiss.

 

Why was her room walls in black? Her room walls were purple. Her bed wasn't that big; it was a super single bed and why was there someone beside her?

 

"!"

 

Jisoo's eyes grew larger when she realized she was not in her room; but at some stranger's place. She lifted up her blanket and winced.

 

"WHY AM I ?!"

 

Jisoo was panicking for the first time in her life.

 

 

 

 

Two ladies were sitting; facing each other. One was still on the bed with the blanket covered her base of her neck and all the way down to her toes. The other was all dressed up; fidgeting nervously on the sofa across the bed.

 

Their eyes were focusing at each other but one appeared laidback like she didn't really care much of the situation.

 

"That was a great night."

 

The one on the bed suddenly spoke up.

 

"Did we really do...?"

 

The nervous one was still unsure about last night's event.

 

"Waking up in the morning; proved a lot of things, won't it?"

 

"I...don't remember anything."

 

"Why should you remember? You were so drunk. I'm just glad you didn't throw up on me."

 

"You took me back here?"

 

Suddenly the one on the bed stood up; the one at the sofa cowered to her side; hiding her face.

 

"Are you ashamed of me now? You've seen me ."

 

"That was different. I was intoxicated. Now I'm pretty much sobered up and I know the meaning of embarrassment and shy."

 

The half- woman was strutting across the room and grabbed her bathrobe. She wore it over her body before letting out a soft chuckle.

 

"I didn't realize you're this cute. You're such a fireball last night."

 

The cowered girl cringed for a moment. Nobody has mentioned her like that. It was quite embarrassing to hear it from a stranger.

 

"I had a lot of drink last night."

 

"I know. I could see that. Wait, I was equally drunk as well so we're even."

 

"What do you mean?"

 

"You know, we spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out why we on the bed; and having a conversation like as though it was a FAQ session. Let's do something more....friendly."

 

"What?"

 

"Let's do it this way."

 

She stuck her hand out.

 

"Hi, Jennie Kim."

 

The one on the sofa looked on blankly; probably cautious of the laidback woman in front of her.

 

"Do you want to make friends or not?"

 

She was really impatient in many ways.

 

"Kim Jisoo."

 

Nevertheless, Jisoo took her hand and shook it firmly.

 

"There, let's talk about this over breakfast."

 

Jisoo was speechless. How this lady could took this so easily?

 

 

 

 

 

"Where the hell did you go?!"

 

Jisoo was pounced the moment she entered the door by her best friend and her girlfriend.

 

"Get off me! You're heavy!"

 

"You scared the hell out of me! I couldn't find you anywhere last night!"

 

"Irene unnie, would you mind if you get this girl off?"

 

Irene pulled Seulgi away from Jisoo and gently pushed her girlfriend and Jisoo into the living room. She sat her girlfriend on the bigger sofa while Jisoo took the single seat.

 

"Talk nicely. I'll make coffee."

 

Irene left the two best friends alone. She was always considerate like that. She knew it would be better for the best friends to have their own privacy. Anyway Seulgi promised Jisoo's sister that she would look after her baby sister.

 

"Out with it."

 

Jisoo sighed.

 

"It's your fault."

 

"O.O"

 

"If you hadn't force me to drink so much, I wouldn't get into such mess."

 

"What mess?"

 

Jisoo looked up; biting her lower lip. Seulgi was already going crazy with her hesitation.

 

"I woke up with another woman on her bed."

 

Seulgi immediately broke into a sinister laughter; leaving Jisoo bewildered.

 

 

 

 

 

Jisoo found out the truth. Seulgi planned for last night to happen with that girl, Jennie. Jisoo was infuriated.

 

"WHAT?!"

 

"Well, I just merely introduced her to you and it went well. So I left you with her while me and Irene did our own personal thing."

 

"You left me with her?! ON PURPOSE?!"

 

"Oh come on, you were ALL OVER HER!"

 

"That's not the point!"

 

"Then what is?"

 

Jisoo was speechless. It wasn't supposed to happen like this but it did.

 

"Relax, she's my boss."

 

"You hooked me up with your boss?!"

 

"She was feeling down after her break up with her girlfriend. She needed some sort of release. And I've had enough of you; brooding at home; crying over some girl who wouldn't even understand why you're so hard up over the break up."

 

"That's my problem!"

 

"Well, your problem solved. You found a sweet release."

 

"What sweet release?!"

 

"How's my boss in bed?"

 

Jisoo couldn't believe Seulgi had the cheek to ask.

 

 

 

 

 

Jennie Kim had a mind of her own; she had this incredible ability to separate her emotions from her work; her personal problems would remain at home and her office would be only her work. But after her recent break up with her long-time girlfriend of 7 years; Jennie suddenly lost that special ability to do that.

 

She was too hung up on her ex-girlfriend. She wondered if she could move on after those seven years. It was such a long time and Jennie had grown accustomed to have her ex-girlfriend by her side. But now, she was gone; along with her heart and memories. It was too painful for her to go on.

 

" it."

 

Jennie threw her files aside. She just couldn't concentrate. Her ex-girlfriend shamelessly kept filling up her mind and it tormented her so much. She was frustrated and the radio. The song was even more annoying that Jennie could ever ask for.

 

[Just a Fool – Christina Aguilera & Blake Shelton]

 

"I'm just a fool for you..."

 

A tear fell from the corner of her eye. Why did it hurt so much?

 

"BOSS!"

 

Someone broke her bubble of self-wallowing moment. She wiped her tears away and turned back. It was Seulgi.

 

"Oh, are you crying?"

 

"No."

 

"Okay, I won't ask more."

 

"Thanks."

 

"It's lunch time. Do you want to join me?"

 

Jennie looked at her time. Usually, her ex-girlfriend would join her for lunch but she wasn't there anymore. Jennie took her handbag and shooed Seulgi out of her room.

 

"Let's go then."

 

The two ladies left quickly.

 

 

 

 

"What?"

 

"Lunch?"

 

"Irene unnie, are you okay?"

 

"What?"

 

"You never ask me to go out for lunch."

 

"There's always a first time."

 

"Is it always awkward for you to be in such situation?"

 

"What kind of situations?"

 

"I'm confronting the truth out of you."

 

"You know I'm a pro in avoiding such awkward moments."

 

"What?"

 

"Lunch or die."

 

"That's not avoiding! That's threatening!"

 

Jisoo couldn't do anything much. Irene was already dragging her out of the house.

 

 

 

 

"Boss, how's last night?"

 

Jennie almost spit out her glass of water. Seulgi's cheeky grin was getting on her nerves but Jennie kept her cool.

 

"Why? Didn't she say anything?"

 

"Who? My friend?"

 

Jennie nodded while trying another attempt to drink her water without any mishap.

 

"She flipped when I told her that I set her up with you."

 

"Oh? So she didn't like it?"

 

"She just felt that it was wrong. She was really embarrassed."

 

Jennie perched her eyebrows together and nodding her head absentmindedly. Their food came and Seulgi immediately dug in. Jennie was more demure and lady-like. She wiped the corner of with her napkin before pulling out the fork and spoon on her side.

 

"Wow, you're seriously like a princess."

 

"What's that supposed to mean?"

 

"It took you 10 minutes to get ready to eat."

 

Jennie just smiled and shrugged Seulgi's words away. She finally settled in. Just then, someone appeared at her table. She looked up to find a familiar face; staring blankly at her.

 

"Baby, you're here!"

 

Seulgi stood up and kissed Irene who was standing behind Jisoo. Jennie just stared at the younger girl; was pleasantly surprised to see her again.

 

"This is your lunch?!"

 

Jisoo turned to Irene; giving her a horrifying look – no, it was more like she was being conned and betrayed by her own sisters.

 

"Seulgi's idea."

 

"Next time, feel free to fill me in with your scheduled meetings."

 

Jisoo jabbed Seulgi in her arm.

 

"Oh come on, Jisoo. I just wanted to introduce Jennie to you properly and apologize for last night."

 

Seulgi pulled out a chair and made Jisoo sat across Jennie. Jennie was already eating her lunch quietly. She always appeared icily cold and almost rude; much to Jisoo's chagrin.

 

"What do you want to eat, Jisoo?"

 

"Is she paying?"

 

Jisoo was pointing to Jennie. Jennie stared at her.

 

"Hell, no. You're paying for your own."

 

"It's on me."

 

Seulgi interrupted the two of them. Irene was confused at the sudden tension between Jennie and Jisoo. She leaned closer to Seulgi.

 

"It didn't well last night?"

 

She whispered.

 

"It went well but the aftermath didn't."

 

Seulgi whispered back. Both Jennie and Jisoo were still staring at each other.

 

 

 

 

"You came on to me."

 

"What?"

 

"You were the one who initiated to have ."

 

"I did?!"

 

"Are you pretending to have dementia now?"

 

"Do you have to be this cold? You can see that I'm confused."

 

"Oh? Really? It's more like you're trying to shrink your responsibility."

 

"What?! What kind of responsibility? We're both women! You wouldn't get pregnant!"

 

"Not that, idiot! Last night, you have to bear responsibility for it!"

 

"You took advantage of me when I was drunk!"

 

"How do you know?"

 

"If not, why would you bring me back to your place?"

 

"Be grateful! If I knew, I would let you sleep in the streets!"

 

"Why didn't you?!"

 

"You're such an idiot!"

 

They fought.

 

The two ladies were trying to push the blame back at each other but failed.

 

And now they were forced to sit down and talk things out.

 

It was just so insane. They could just end it like strangers but now they were forced to make amends.

 

"Look, last night was fun, right?"

 

Seulgi spoke up. The two ladies turned to look at her, aghast.

 

"Oh come on, which was not good?"

 

"That's not the point!"

 

"Jisoo, why are you so uptight? You used to date and sleep with girls."

 

"I didn't date her."

 

"I don't even want to."

 

Jennie was sarcastic and Jisoo was staring at her; gritting her teeth.

 

"Okay, relax. Both of you had a release. You could at least thank each other."

 

"Are you insane, Seulgi? This is your fault!"

 

"Yeah, this is your fault!"

 

The two girls were pointing fingers at Seulgi. The girl just grinned. Her girlfriend was still busily eating; making herself scarce and almost invisible.

 

"But seriously, the two you had fun despite the stupid fight this morning, right?"

 

Both girls were in a state of denial.
