Traffic was slowly increasing as she was making her way back. Huffing in frustration as another car tried to overtake her from a dangerous angle, she let them pass. Driving onward Jennie knew she was still uneasy about not being able to take Rosé home.

She knew there was no need to feel this sense of...agitation. Trying to forget about it she focused on the road. But whenever she came to a red light, the moment of Rosé kissing her kept returning to her. Rubbing her eyes, she forced it out her mind.

Ten minutes later she was at the Park building and in the garage. As she got out, Bendrick and another man was walking towards a different car. The man was wearing the same uniform as Jennie and when she saw Bendrick give a set of keys, she knew he was another driver.

He was the first she's seen other than herself. She noted it in her mind. As he drove out Bendrick turned and saw her. Walking towards her, he looked a bit confused.

"Shouldn't you be waiting for Ms. Park? I'm sure she shouldn't be done meeting with her father," he questioned.

"There meeting was very short and then I had to drop her at the Uni. After that she ordered me to go home even though I insisted not to," said Jennie has she handed him the keys.

"I see. Sounds like Ms Park. Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then," smiled Bendrick and headed off.

Giving him a wave, Jennie stood still. She looked at the area where the car had been. Making her way towards it, she saw that the cars next to it were exactly like the one she drove. Walking through the space, nothing caught her eye.

She looked around the entire garage. Lines of nearly identical black vehicles filled up the space. Scouting the roof and corners with her eyes again, she saw no camera's. Surely this building must have some sort of surveillance system? Making her way to the locker room, she wondered how she could find an answer to her question.




The house was quiet. Locking the door, Jennie headed straight to her room. Throwing her backpack down, she changed in to more comfortable clothes. After that she fetched something to eat and brought it back to her room.

Placing it at her desk, she got her laptop and sat down. She watched some YouTube videos as she ate. Once she was done, she got up to stretch her legs a bit. It wasn't for long and soon she was back at the desk, ready to type.

Target Note 5:

Garage level shows no signs of cameras. But closer inspection is required. Another driver was seen today. Seemingly no difference in the car used. But not fully clear. No opportunity of scanning the interior of another car has been allowed. Lisa and Somin, spent just over an hour together. On her return she her hair was ruffled and lipstick smudged. Still unclear of what the relationship between Lisa Manoban, Jeon, Somin and Park Jisoo. Follow-up pick up was for Rosé. She had a meeting with her father. It was scheduled for 2 hours but only lasted 15 minutes. Before seeing her farther she had been chipper, after she was sombre. No information was shared on what the meeting was actually about.

Finishing up the note, she added some ideas on how to move forward. Sitting back, she took a sip of her water. So far she has met Bendrick, a chef, a music tutor and now she's seen another driver. Interestingly Jaejoong didn't work in the kitchen in the cafeteria where she got her lunch. Also she still couldn't explain where that woman had gone that day. Jennie knew she hadn't imagined her.

Furthermore, Rosé didn't want to talk about her meeting with her father. Jennie wondered if it was because it really wasn't significant or if it was due to her not wanting to reveal anything. She was beginning to learn that both Park sisters were quite evasive in regards to information.

Rubbing her eyes, she went through her other notes but wasn't able to think. Jennie didn't know if she should add what had happened between her and Rosé today. As she reminisced on their time together, she smiled genuinely and closed her laptop. Getting up, she went to her bedside drawer and took out her own notebook.

The target notes were for Taemin and whoever the hell they were doing this for. But this book was for herself. Heading to the desk, she began to write. She was so lost in what she was doing it took her a moment to realize someone was knocking on her door. Going to open the door, she saw Moonbyul smiling at her.

"Hey Jen, I'm going to get some food, saw your light on. Would you like anything?"

"Hey Moon, when did you get home?"

"A little over an hour ago. Irene is also back but I think she's on the phone with someone," shrugged Moon.

"Okay, uhm yeah I'd like some food," she nodded.

"Cool, I won't be long," clapped Moon and waved off. Thanking her Jennie closed the door and trekked back to her desk.

Looking at her notebook, she didn't notice how much she had written. Moreover, she didn't register how long she'd been writing. Paging back, she read over everything. Placing both hands on her cheeks, she sighed.

Her mind was overworking again. Maybe she should put this in the Target Notes, she thought. But then again, it felt too intimate to let someone else read over what happened. Or as Jennie was slowly seeing in her notes what was happening between her and Rosé...

Shaking her head, Jennie pushed that thought out away. There was nothing happening, she urged herself. Nothing. Sighing, she knew that how the blonde was acting towards her was odd behavior for someone who just recently met her. On top of that someone she's employing.

Biting her lip, she decided to add Rosé's comfortability towards Jennie as her driverto the target notes. But she wasn't going to put down too much. Just that it wasa bit weird how at ease the younger Park sister was with her new employee. Andas Jennie typed away, fleeting thoughts of her not minding this weirdness, floatedby her, aware that she needed to ignore it.
