『JenSoo Short Stories』

Weather and Seasons

-Jennie's POV-

Just like the changing weather and seasons, we experience different moments that make our lives much more interesting than ever. Looking back, having you is the greatest highlight of my life.

-------------------------

I was a trainee at YG back in 2010. Even though there were other trainees, they were so driven that they would do anything to get that A grade. It was tough but i always wanted to be an entertainer, that was my only goal. No matter how hard it was, my passion was my only comfort. But when you came along, everything changed. My trainee life became fun and you became one of the driving forces to continue pursuing my passion.

Many call you that 'pretty trainee'. You were really pretty back then (and even now). Beneath that pretty face, everything about you is pretty too. You are just like a walking sunshine. You smiled when training was difficult, you took care of those around you, no matter if they were older or younger than you, and you always put others first. Maybe it was your kindness that pulled me into you.

We were all gathered around you at the practice room after a gruelling training session, curious to find out more about you, the pretty trainee, Kim Jisoo.

"Ok girls, we got everything and thankfully no one bothered to notice us," said the senior unnies, who snuck out to get snacks. A big rule for us, trainees, was no snacks but maybe just once, we are all willing to sacrifice for this.

"Thank you unnies, they all look good!"

After the self-introduction, we all started to play ice-breaking games, and many wanted to pair up with you. Me too, but I didn't dare to express myself. My usual confident self dwindled down in front of you, my perfect goddess.

"You are Jennie, right? You have been really quiet, come on, let's team up!" You stood in front of me, your hand on my shoulder.

If I knew that this first interaction set the stage for future events, I wished that it had come earlier, but still, I was glad that it happened.

-Winter-

16 January 2013, it was D-Day I would confess my heart. Even though we are comfortable as best friends, my heart wasn't content with being just that. I wanted more. I wanted to be your other half, ever since that Sauna day, when we shared our dreams and aspirations in life. When I opened my eyes every morning, my heart pounded really hard because I would always think of you.

Sometimes I wonder if you knew about my growing feelings for you. Anyways, don't you want to know?

I think of you all day. You come to me daily, just like the blowing wind that caressed me gently and I looked forward to that moment all the time. I knew that on that say, I would promise you love.

As I walked out of the room, you gave me a huge hug and whispered, "happy birthday, Jennie!" Even though you had wished me early at 12:00, but still, that was the best way to start my morning as a 17-year-old.

"Thank you Jichu unnie," I returned your affection with a great big bear hug, not wanting to part. I wanted to open my mouth to confess but I couldn't and instead, you broke the hug and pushed me to the washroom, "come on, let's prepare for training."

The training was fun, everyone wished me well and some even gave me presents. I felt really blessed but just being with you and the two maknaes was enough to warm my heart. But still, I haven't found the courage to say what I wanted to say.  I was frustrated at myself but still, I had to continue the day. Maybe later would be a better time. Soon, it was the end of the day and the 4 of us decided to head out for a short birthday meal.
