'Snowed In' - Drabble

Prompt: On winter vacation, Jisoo and Jennie experience some pretty pressing issues in their relationship. Logically, they fight it out, in the one place they can't escape: A snowed in cabin. Some rare angst.

*****

It hadn't at all started like this. There was no fighting, no bickering between Jisoo and Jennie, when they'd first pulled up to the cabin, with rosy cheeks and bright smiles as they greeted their friends. The entirety of the delinkru was supposed to meet them up in the mountains for a week of snow sports, log cabin adventures, and some genuine time away from all the annoyances life began to offer.

Neither Jisoo nor Jennie had considered that they might actually be taking some of their stresses and troubles along with them as added luggage. The idea that they could actually fight on vacation, in front of all their friends was new to them. They'd never had a need (or such an urge) to yell at each other. It was a strange outburst, and while they were novices to navigating the ups and downs of a committed relationship, there were still some major kinks to be worked out the way.

One of these issues was definitely the issue of "getting away from it all". Jisoo had suggested this retreat to the Blakes' winter home in the mountains when she realized that there was simply too much going on around her and Jennie. The first sign was obviously the late nights, the ones Jennie spent away from home. And no, Jisoo didn't think she was having an affair or anything like that. Jennie was a professional football player. She was a celebrity, an icon. And Jisoo was a know-nothing, nobody artist.

Jennie's career had instantly skyrocketed after college, while Jisoo's had yet to even take off. And yes, there were no complaints about how much Jennie deserved it- and really, the girl did. But god, the baggage that came with it all.

Jennie was almost never home, and when she was, her stupid phone was in front of her, or ESPN was on, and she was soaking up game plans, eating healthily, checking her four million followers out on twitter, and listening to random anchors talk about her.

Jisoo knew she was excited in the new world she'd just entered, a world she'd waited to live in her whole life, free from the tyranny of her parents.

But god, she missed her old girlfriend.

Jennie had done a complete 360, and reverted back to the cocky, arrogant asshole she'd been for some time in high school. And Jisoo was having none of it.

She could never get any time with Jennie, and when she did it was, "Love, just a minute- Kelly from ESPN is on the line." or "Jisoo, it's my agent" or "Jisoo, can we cancel dinner? I have a meet and greet."

A meet and greet.

As if meeting her random fucking fans took precedence over their relationship?

Jisoo couldn't be too mad. Jennie was still her Jennie, after all. It was just the pressures of all the media exposure and the new, stricter regime of the pro league taking its toll on her. She'd adjust. Or, so Dara had assured her on the phone. And CL. And Jiyong. In fact, Jisoo realized she'd made way too many phone calls bitching about Jennie's behavior without dealing with the root of the problem, so she'd gone straight up to Jennie, pushed her phone out of her face, and told her they were going on a trip.

Where she'd hoped Irene wouldn't have wifi, because the cell service was patchy at best, and Jisoo needed Jennie to spend time with literally anyone but her fans, agent, or phone.

...But needless to say, that wasn't fucking going according to plan, as Jennie was on her phone, heartily laughing at her agent's lines on the other end, while she leaned against the counter, looking positively bored.
