Jisoo swallowed hard as her eyes met Jennie's. Standing this close she could really see how incredibly beautiful her eyes was and how easy it would be to get completely lost in them. It took every ounce of willpower she had to take a step back and away from Jennie's arms. She took another step back to recompose their personal space. Jennie realized she'd been holding her breath and as Jisoo backed away from her she slowly exhaled.

"I'm so sorry Jisoo, I didn't know you were right outside the door." she said when the air returned to her lungs.

"It's okay, I didn't mean to stumble all over you." Jisoo said afraid to met the raven eyes again.

"It's okay..." Jennie didn't know what else to say.

"Well, I think I'm gonna go to bed." Jisoo said.

"Yeah, me too." Jennie replied.

Jisoo looked up and met the raven's eyes again.

"See you tomorrow." Jisoo said and turned to leave but stopped. Slowly she turned around again.

"I had a really nice time tonight. It was great talking to you..." she just had to say it.

"I had a really nice time too and I also enjoyed talking to you..." Jennie said.

She wanted to give Jisoo a hug goodnight but didn't know if she should but as Jisoo looked up and met her eyes again she took a step closer and pulled the other woman in for a hug. Jisoo was surprised by Jennie's actions but it only took her a split second to hug her back.

"Goodnight Jisoo..." Jennie whispered.

"Goodnight Jennie..."

Jennie had only intended to give Jisoo a quick hug but for some reason she still had her arms around the other woman. Both women silently realized that they'd hugged for way longer than a 'normal' hug between friends but still they didn't let go of each other.

Jennie again felt a new wave of emotions running through her and honestly, it scared the hell out of her. She slowly started to pull away and Jisoo instantly followed her lead and pulled back as well.

"See you tomorrow." Jennie repeated Jisoo's previous words and walked out of the kitchen leaving a very confused and a little flustered Jisoo behind.

"Yeah... see you tomorrow..." Jisoo mumbled to herself as her mind tried to figure out just what the hell was happening.

She pulled her hands through her hair and then headed out to the guesthouse in the backyard where she'd be staying.

Jennie brushed her teeth before she walked into her and Kai's room where her fiance was snoring violently. She crawled into bed and gave him a push so he would turn over and hopefully stop snoring but unfortunately the turning didn't help. She sighed and laid back down on her pillow, staring up at the ceiling.

Jisoo undressed, brushed her teeth and crawled into bed hoping sleep would claim her quickly but she wasn't really surprised when it didn't. There were too many thoughts running through her mind for her to even think about falling asleep. She'd never met anyone that had made such a strong impression on her so fast before. She'd never met anyone like Jennie before...

Jennie couldn't sleep. The last time she looked at the digital clock on the nightstand was 5 minutes ago, 4.26 am was flashing back at her. She sighed and shoved her still snoring fiance for the umpteenth time. His snoring wasn't the reason for her insomnia though, Jisoo was. The brunette FBI agent just wouldn't leave her mind. She thought about the agent thing, she still couldn't get over how impressed she was by it. That wasn't all she thought about though, her mind kept wandering back to when Jisoo had touched her arm on the swing but mostly to the incident in the kitchen where Jisoo literally stumbled into Jennie's arms. Her breath had caught in her throat and she'd felt all tingly. Then the goodnight hug... She really hadn't planned for it to be so long, it was definitely way longer than a quick hug between friends and defintely longer than a hug between two people who just met. Then there was all these new feelings that confused the hell out of her.

When Kai begun snoring louder than ever that night, she'd had enough. She got out of the bed and put on a pair of sweat pants and a hoodie and walked downstairs. The kitchen clock showed 4.51 am. It was ridiculously early but she'd given up any chances of sleep for this night. She put on some coffee and walked over to the window fronting the back yard. Sitting in the swing with a large blanket wrapped around her was Jisoo.

When the coffee percolator had finished Jennie poured two large cups of coffee and walked out to the back yard. Jisoo looked up when she heard the creaking from the back door and couldn't help but smile when she saw the reason for her insomnia walking towards her with two cups in her hands.

"Hey..." Jennie started.

"Hey.."

"Coffee?" Jennie asked.

"Oh yes please!"

Jennie smiled at Jisoo's enthusiastic answer and handed her one cup.

"Can I join you?" she asked.

"Of course." Jisoo answered and made space for the raven on the swing.

"So you couldn't sleep either?" Jisoo asked and took a small sip of the warm beverage, closing her eyes as the taste of coffee slipped down her throat.

"God this is good. Thank you for this." Jisoo said and took another sip.

Jennie smiled as she sipped on her own cup.

"You're welcome and no, I couldn't sleep either. Kai is snoring like... I don't even know what to compare it with. Let's just say it's really loud." Jennie said.

Jisoo chuckled.

"I gave up about half an hour ago and came out here hoping that maybe the swing would rock me to sleep eventually."

"Oh... I'm sorry, I can go back inside if you want to try and get some sleep." Jennie said and moved to get up from the swing.

"NO!" Jisoo all but shouted.

"I-I mean, no. That's not what I meant, I've already given up on sleeping and it's morning now anyway so... Please stay..." Jisoo said softly.

Jennie met her eyes and could only nod. Jisoo gave her a small smile when she sat back on the swing. The morning air was a little chilly so Jisoo offered a piece of her blanked to the raven which she accepted.

"How long are you staying?" Jennie asked.

"I'm going back home in the afternoon." Jisoo answered.

Jennie nodded and felt her chest tighten at the thought of not spending more time with Jisoo. They've only just started to get to know each other.

"Are you and Kai staying longer?"

"Yeah, we've got three weeks vacation coming up so we'll be here for a couple of more days." Jennie said.

"I work one more week then I have two weeks off. I can't wait!" Jisoo said and smiled.

Jisoo really had the most infectious smile, Jennie couldn't help but smile back.

"Any vacation plans?" Jennie wondered.

"Not really, I'll probably spend a couple of days at mom's cottage but other than that I haven't made any direct plans." Jisoo said and took a large gulp of coffee.

Their very easy conversation about anything and everything were starting to die down and slowly the effect of their lack of sleep started to take its toll. Jisoo had sunk further down into the cushions of the swing and was now half-sitting, half-lying with her head on the large pillow she'd brought with her. She was very close to falling asleep, Jennie had already dozed off sitting, her head slightly tilted back. Seconds later Jisoo was asleep as well.
