Gain

Chapter Three

Chaeyoung pursed her lips in annoyance as Jisoo returned with a luggage trolley. As the older girl unfolded it she moved to the duffel bag which was placed on the couch. Chaeyoung stood still as Jisoo attempted to place the bag on to the trolley. Jisoo made a variety of untranslatable sounds as she struggled to lift the bag. Shaking her head Chaeyoung got up to assist her.

"You could have told me before that they had these," Chaeyoung bent down.

"I thought I did," Jisoo grinned.

Together they were able to place the bag on to the trolley. Jisoo went to her desk to collect some documents while Chaeyoung glared at the bag.

"No you didn't. This would have saved me a lot of trouble. "

"Aw come on Chae, it's not that bad," Jisoo shuffled around her desk.

"Tell that to my concave back. Look at me; I'm basically a cheese curl."

Jisoo burst out laughing while Chaeyoung pouted. The two had been corresponding for the past six months. Mostly they discussed the issue Chae has been investigating but along the way they had gotten to know each other. Furthermore, Lisa had taken any chance she could to interrupt their Skype calls. This would normally end in Lisa deciding to stay in Jisoo's office and she would be forced to listen to the banter between the two younger girls.

Opening a desk drawer she searched for the USB, YG management had given her on the case. Successful, she placed it with the other documents in to an empty sleeve. Taking a glance at her phone she saw a message form Lisa. It stated that Jennie was in her office and that they'd be waiting. Surprisingly Jennie hadn't asked too many questions about the sudden meeting. Jisoo was happy to see that considering they'd been keeping her out of the loop for a bit.

She has been concerned for her best friend's frame of mind lately. Moreover Jennie refused to talk to her about it. Not that it had affected Jennie's work ethic. In fact she had not seen Jennie so willing to burn herself out since their trainee days. Except this time she was much more sullen. The trolley creaked as Chae played around with it. It brought Jisoo out of her suspicions. Pointing to the bag she asked Chae if she could manage. The younger girl looked down sadly. Sighing, Jisoo walked passed her towards the door. Gripping the handle she told Chae to follow her.
