Chapter 16

JISOO

I just couldn’t believe in my ears what just Jennie told me. When I heard ‘Jennie Kim’ my jaw dropped. I didn’t know what to think. The only thing that was coming to my mind was that she lied. But it was strange because I wasn’t scared of her. Although she lied to me about who she was for a very strange reason I wasn’t scared of having Jennie Kim inside my home instead of Jennie Kwon. All I was asking was why? Why she didn’t trust me enough to tell me about who she was. And then she told me everything..

I was sitting right next to her listening to her telling me about her life. Who she was. What happened to her family. Ella. She was her sister’s daughter and not hers and she wanted to give to that child everything. That made me like her even more. She was right. She was still the Jennie I knew but now I knew her past and who she used to be. The mystery to Jennie Kim was being discovered. And Jennie Kim sounded so much better than Jennie Kwon..

We sat there talking when Ella came from her room.. I am sure she was playing with the Wii I bought her on Christmas.. Although she wasn’t my child or family I was so close to her and I wanted to take care of her. The same way I wanted to take care of Jennie. Am I crazy? Maybe..

Ella came and sat right next to me all bouncy with her beautiful brown hair and those baby blue eyes looking back and forth between Jennie and me.

“So did you tell her mommy?” and I looked at Jennie.. What could Ella meant? Jennie wanted to tell me something before this conversation started?

“Tell me what sweetheart?”

“Nothing. Ellaaaa” Jennie said and I was looking Ella and Jennie having a conversation with their eyes.. It was so cute to see.. These two were indeed mother and daughter..

“Mommy you were telling me about how nice Jisoo is with us. So did you tell her?”

“Oh, that.. yeah.. I did.”

“No you didn’t.”

“Well Jisoo you are very nice for taking caring of us. We thank you very much.” She smiled.

“Oh, you are welcome.”

For a strange reason I thought that Jennie wanted to say something else. But maybe it was just my imagination..

The three of us sat on my couch talking about Ella’s school and her crush on Eddy.. She finally admitted that to us.. But we already knew. I knew Eddy.. He was a nice kid. Like if Jennie and I would let her do anything with someone we didn’t know.. And why on earth I was seeing us like a family? I really must be crazy..

Ella at some point fell asleep together with her mom. They were so cute and they suffered so much.. Jennie did a great job with Ella. She was a beautiful kid inside out. I couldn’t even think the things that Jennie saw.. And still.. she was so perfect..

I took Ella in my arms and put her on her bed.. I gave her a kiss and when I was ready to leave I heard her saying something that made my heart skip ‘I love you Jisoo’.. How much this phrase meant especially from a child.. I smiled and told her that I loved her too because I did.

When I got back to the couch Jennie was under the covers with her leg prompt on the table because of her cast and she had her arm outside too.. She seemed so.. I don’t know.. I couldn’t see her like that especially when I was sure that it was that asshole who did that to her.. I came close to her and put the loose curls that had fallen on her eyes behind her ear and kissed her forehead.. I had the urge to kiss her lips but I couldn’t. I wouldn’t.. So I just sat right next to her, waiting for her to wake up..

When she opened her eyes it was already 11pm and she was sleeping since 8pm..

“Jisoo?”

“Welcome back sleepy head.”

“What time is it?”

“It’s 11pm. Ella is sleeping so don’t worry.”

“Okay.”

“Jennie, I know that you are still recovering and with everything that we said this evening but there is something we still need to discuss and it can’t wait. Not any more. It’s about who hurt you”

I knew it wasn’t the time but we had to do this conversation.. And I just hoped that this time she would tell me the truth.. In order for me to put that jackass in jail she had to help me out..

“I know.”

“So will you tell me? Since it’s the day of revelations?”

“It was Suho…”

I knew it from the beginning but hearing her telling me that it was Suho, it was a big relief.. That asshole.. That jackass.. That.. That.. agrrr..

“Jisoo, he threaten me that if I told anyone he would kill me and Ella.. So please.. I don’t know.. I am just scared.. And believe me I am not scared about me but I am scared about Ella.. It’s not her fault..”

“Jennie, I am here. Okay? But you need to press charges so we can put him on jail. I have a tape with him coming inside the building at 11.55am and leaving at 12.30pm.. And when you are going to press charges we have him. I am going to ask for restrain order and you and Ella will be okay.”

“Are you sure Jisoo? Because I really can’t do anything in my condition and Ella needs to go to her school.. You can protect us here but what if something happens? We can’t stay inside for ever.”

“First I changed the locks the moment I found out. So Suho doesn’t have a key to enter my apartment again. Secondly I told John downstairs to not even consider letting Suho in no matter what he says. So Jennie, please trust me. I am going to protect you and Ella. So are you ready?”

“I am not but it’s something I have to do.”

“Tomorrow morning we are going to the police station. I am going to take with my all the papers from the hospital and we are putting him on jail. Okay?”

“Why?”

“Why what?”

“Why you believe me and not Suho. Why you are not on his side. You knew him before me. You just met me.”

“The only thing I can say it’s that although I was with Suho for two years with you it’s like I know you since forever.”

And it was true. It was like we knew each other. I can’t explain it. Jennie and I just clicked. And beside everything that happened, although I am sorry that I hit her that day with my car, I also feel happy because if it wasn’t that night we wouldn’t be here today. And maybe she would still consider me as an uptight bitch..

I helped her stand because now it was very difficult for her to use her crunches. She could only use one to walk.. I am going to castrate him..

“Jisoo?”

“Yeah?”

“Would I ask too much from you if you stayed with me tonight?” I didn’t event think before I answer yes to her. It wasn’t anything sexual and I never slept with a girl at the same bed but I knew Jennie, and right now she just wanted to feel safe..

“Yes.”

“Thank you Jisoo.”

I helped her walk to the bathroom where I left her there alone to do what she wanted to do. I wouldn’t invade her personal space.. I didn’t know if I could bare to see her taking her clothes off.. Last time.. It was.. Hot..

“Jen, are you ok in there?”

“Yeah, I have some difficulties but I am okay. I’ll be out in a sec.” I could go inside my room and put my pj’s on but I was outside the bathroom waiting for her to come out..

“Okay. Sorry but I couldn’t.. You know..”

“It’s okay.. Don’t worry. Let me help you.”

“No. I am okay. I have to get use to this. You won’t be right next to me forever Jisoo ” Is it bad that I wanted to be right next to her forever? And I didn’t even know if she felt about me the same way I felt about her..

“Okay. You are all by yourself. But I am right behind you.”

“Yeah I can do that.”

Jennie was a very strong person. And I could see that what Suho did to her made her weak and the she didn’t like.. I promised that I would help her as much as I could..

“Ok.. I am okay.. A little tired though.”

“If you let me help you..”

“Jisoo, you took a week off. What about after that? If I am used to you helping me then when you won’t be here who is going to help me?”

“I guess you are right.”

“Well.. you could help me by giving me my pjs.”

Her pjs were a pair of shorts and a very very very short top.. The one you can see her abs.. So I opened her drawer and gave her her sexy pjs..

“I.. I am going let you change.”

“Jisoo, I need your help here.” She didn’t need my help to walk but she needed my help to dress? Dear Lord…

“Ahm.. I.. well.. what do you want me to do?”

“Can you please take off my shirt? I can’t with one hand.” If Ella was here right now she would say ‘Jisoo why you are red?’. I think I had a fever or something.. I took off her shirt and she was there, right in front of me, only with her bra..

I hope she didn’t want me to take off her pants too…

“Jisoo.. can you take off my pants too? I am sorry for putting you in this situation but I can’t do it alone.”

“No no. It’s ok. I am okay..” I think..

Finally I managed to strip Jennie from her clothes and help her with her pjs. My heart was beating way to fast and I hoped she couldn’t hear my heart because that would be embarrassing..

“Thank you very much.. Jisoo?”

“Yes?”

“Would you help me dress and undress every day till I am able to do it by myself?” Someone up there sure is fucking up with me right now.. Oh God..

“Yes. I can do that. Now let me go to my room and change. I’ll be back in a few.”

“Okay.”

When I left her room and got inside mine I left a big breath I was holding inside while I was helping her out.. I changed back to my pjs that weren’t that sexy as Jennie’s and found my way back to her room. That would be a very interesting night..

“Jennie, tomorrow morning after we get Ella at her school we need to go to the police station. Okay?”

“I guess so.” She was looking at the ceiling while I was laying right next to her doing the same..

“Goodnight Jennie.”

“Goodnight Jisoo… Oh and something I forgot to tell you and you should know ” I looked at her and was waiting for her to tell me something important.. “I like girls.”
