LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU

CHAPTER 17: MINO OPPA IS MY ONLY OPPA

JENNIE'S POV
Did I hear him right? He's jealous? Why would he be jealous? We're not even dating, and didn't I explain back then that Mino oppa is my friend. We're playful sometimes. So I really don't understand why he's upset and jealous. He's crazy.

"Why would you be jealous? Mino oppa is my friend. That's all," I explained to him.

"Then why did he rap that? It's too much. Wouldn't you guys get in trouble for that?"

"No. Papa YG already knows how playful we are. We're just friends. That's it. I don't know how many times I have to say that and I don't even know why I continue to explain this to you over and over again," I sighed.

"Maybe because deep down you know that it hurts me and you want to make sure that I'm okay and I don't misunderstand?" I could hear him smile on the other line.

I roll my eyes at him and said, "Now that you're joking around I guess you're okay now then? You can leave me to sleep in peace, and leave Mino oppa and I alone?" I said the last part just to tease him.

"Ya! What do you mean by leave you and Mino alone?!"

I laughed and said, "Just kidding you cranky pants!"

"Don't ever say anything like that again Kim Jennie! Seriously, I don't want to just leave you alone with another guy."

"Ya! Kim Taehyung! It's my life and I can do whatever I want," I said to him in English.

"Daebak! I really love it when you speak English. You have an accent right? You and Rosé? It's different! It sounds classier."

I couldn't help but laugh at his statement.

"Yes, I have an accent just like Rosé. Rosé has an Australian accent and I have a New Zealand accent."

"I'm so impressed! I really want to hear you speak in English more."

"Maybe next time. I'm really getting sleepy, and this conversation is basically pointless," I said to him.

"Ani. You just confirmed that you're only friends with Mino and that there's nothing else going on with you guys. That's important to me," Taehyung oppa stated.

"You're really straightforward without being straightforward... if that even makes sense," I said.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight!" I said right before hanging up.

I know Kim Taehyung is not dumb. I know he knew what I meant. He's acting like my boyfriend when we're not even that close.

TAEHYUNG'S POV
Aish! I didn't even get to say goodnight. That girl! I swear! She's driving me crazy. Even though she drives me crazy I can't help but smile at the thought that I just spoke to her on the phone. Technically I called out of jealousy and anger, but regardless we talked. I heard her voice. She got pissed off. She yelled. And she laughed.

I'm doomed. Really doomed. Not only am I liking someone who's also an idol, but I'm liking someone who has a dating ban. I think the real worry comes from the fact that I like Kim Jennie herself. Liking Kim Jennie is harder than liking someone with a dating ban. She's not easy. She's driven. She's fierce. But she's also afraid. Afraid of either getting in trouble, afraid of not achieving her dream, afraid of getting backlash, or afraid of it all. Whatever it may be, I already know that it's going to take a lot of convincing. She's not just going to fall for me so easily. She's not like other girls. It's actually refreshing to know that she's unlike other girls, but worrisome at the same time.

I started to feel sleepy with thoughts of Jennie on my mind.

The next day I woke up and thought of my conversation with Jennie. I immediately smiled and decided to call her again. Instead of just calling I decided to FaceTime her. Might as well give it a shot right?
