"Mom, Im sorry. I cannot give my salary for this month to you. No! It's not like that Im mad or whatever to you, I just need to pay some bills. Mom...please......Okay. I'll send it to your bank account. Mmm...Love you Mom." Jennie sighed as she put back her phone on her bag.

Irene who's fully recovered now sat beside her on the couch, she gave the idol a 'What the heck was that?' Look.

"You'll give your salary to your mom? Again?" Irene asked with a hint of annoyance, Jennie nods. "You know what Jen, I know you just wanted to pay your Mom's kindness and Sacrifices by giving her whatever she wants but she's way too much now! She's always taking your salary! You're working hard not just for your mother's sake but for your future family too"

Jennie doesn't feel offended, she knew that Irene really yhates her mother. It's not new to hear Her manager's rants about Chaerin.

"You're her daughter, you're a human! Not an ATM machine!" 

Jennie didn't replied, she just looked at her phone while staring at her account's balance. She's already 7 years in the media industry but she's still not that rich like the artist that she grew up with.

She felt embarrass and disappointed for herself. She felt worthless.

"Yah!" Irene cupped her cheeks and looked sternly at her "Stop thinking that you're worthless, !" She said like she's reading the younger girl's mind.

Jennie smiled, she's happy that Irene is there for her. She's always there to support her.

"Let me hug you" Irene mumbled and pulled her for a hug "Jen, promise me that this will be the last time that you'll give your money to your Mom. You have your own life, you're old enough to make decisions that will make you happy"

Jennie cannot speak, she's not sure if she will listen to her manager or she will just stay as her mom's puppet.

"Jennie" Irene slightly shook her

"Ok. Ok" Jennie mumbled with a smile, she hugged her manager back and buried her face on her shoulder "Thanks for always being there for me Rene. Don't leave me huh! Stay with me forever." Irene chuckled.

"Of course I'll be there for you! I'll be your first and last manager!" Irene quickly pulled from the hug as she remember something.

"I have something to tell to you!" Jennie saw how Irene blushed as she say those words, she sat on the floor and placed her elbow above the couch, chin is putted on her palm.

"Spill it." Jennie never saw this kind of Irene so she's very interested to know what is the reason behind it.

"So uhm....remember when the doctor told you that I passed out on the Hospital? There was a girl who helped me. She's very pretty and handsome at the same time, a girl crush to be exact. I know Im just a stranger to her and vice versa but I cannot help but to feel happy....c-cause uhm....after helping me after I got unconscious...s-she.....oh why it's so hard to explain it!" Jennie let out a soft chuckle as she saw how annoyed Irene is.

"Shut up Kim." Jennie quickly shuts her mout
