Jisoo paced around the break room, her lip between her teeth and a finger constantly twirling her hair. She shouldn't have gone to that concert. Like, she thought it might be a bad idea, but it was a bad idea. Because ever since she went to the concert, there had been strange feelings and strange thoughts, strange emotions.

Very strange, should not be happening, well, things were happening.

Like relief. Why did Jisoo feel relief when she saw Chaeyoung shove her tongue down some blonde woman - who Jisoo kind of remembered seeing upon Jennie's visit to the hospital - 's mouth. Why did she care? And when her palms got all sweaty watching Jennie perform in outfits that were way too tiny. And why was Jennie so attractive because Jisoo was sure that if that wasn't the case none of these stupid thoughts would be happening in the first place.

The worst part was, Jisoo couldn't - in all honesty - say that is was just attraction she felt towards Jennie. Stupid, stupid thoughts.

Jisoo had looked up transference, but the term didn't seem to fit. She'd had hundreds of patients and not been interested in any of them. She'd treated several attractive people. So why Jennie? The worst person to have a crush on, probably. Why the annoying super idol?

"Jisoo?" she heard from the other side of the door along with a quick knock. "Jennie's been waiting for ten minutes."

"Dammit ," Jisoo muttered. Jennie the impatient , annoying super idol.

She took in a deep breath and strutted towards the office, grabbing the chart from Joohyun on the way, then took in another breath before opening the door. Jennie looked up at her, her ruby eyes a little dull, smile a little forced.

Jisoo lost her words for a moment. "Hi," she blurted out when Jennie said nothing. Jisoo closed the door behind her and took a step forward, trying not to look away from Jennie. That would just make things obvious.

"You didn't come," Jennie said

Jisoo dropped the chart on the floor. The loud thud made both of them jump, but was enough for Jisoo to get her thoughts into gear. "Yes I did!" she said.

Jennie crossed both of her arms and looked away. "Then how come you didn't see me after, and how come Joohyun didn't see you?"

Jisoo recalled Joohyun asking if she wanted to go with Seulgi and her; but Jisoo had declined because the whole third-wheel thing could be annoying sometimes. "I went alone. Seulgi and Joohyun were on a date, and I didn't want to intrude."

"And not seeing me? You were on a security list, you know?"

Jisoo's face turned red. She was flustered because Jennie had been dancing and singing and dressed in very revealing clothes. At one point something that covered no more than underwear and a bra would; maybe they were underwear and a bra. And she remembered panting fans, and remembered judging them and realizing she couldn't really judge.

Oh, and then she ran out of the concert as soon as it ended after too many uncomfortable jolts buzzing through her body.

Jisoo cleared her throat. "I had to get home a little earlier than the concert ended. The next morning I had an early shift," Jisoo said. Technically it wasn't a lie.

"Oh!" Jennie said, perking up. She uncrossed her arms and folded her hands over her knees. "How'd you like it?!"

Jisoo bent down to pick the chart up from the ground, and also to get a moment of reprieve from too much eye contact. "It was good. Uh, your dancing was good."

Jennie grinned, her cheeks forming small dimples. "I think you met my choreographer, Lisa. She was the blonde who was there when I passed out."

The image of her and Chaeyoung stuck together played in Jisoo's mind. She'd only spotted them because they were at the very front in special seating. "Yes. Her and the other woman, with the pink-hair," Jisoo said. She felt stupid for playing stupid, acting like she didn't know her name was Chaeyoung and that she hadn't read a handful of tabloids on her. "They were at your show, right? In the front." Jisoo cleared her throat and turned around to get the stethoscope.

" Ugh, yeah. I had to see them making out, like, every time I looked down. They're gross. My best friends, but still gross. Hopefully some reporter got a picture or something," Jennie said with a casual sigh.

"Why?" Jisoo asked, ignoring how the tips of her ears burned.

"If you bothered to pick up a magazine you'd know that half the world thinks there is some scandalous affair between super idol Nini and her agent." Jennie faked a gasp of surprise, covering her mouth with both hands, then dropped them and rolled her eyes. "Even though she's been dating Lisa years now."

Jisoo swallowed in, bringing the bell of the stethoscope to Jennie's chest. "So you're not seeing her," Jisoo asked. Stupid. Stupid thing to ask.

"No!" Jennie's heart thumped a little louder, faster. "Though there was this thing during our freshman year of college..." Jennie mused, placing a hand on her chin.

"Breathe," Jisoo said, just as she sucked in a breath. A thing during college? If Jennie had a thing during college did that mean she had a thing for girls and - no. Jisoo was her doctor. Right. It wouldn't matter anyway. "So you did date?"

Jennie gave an indignant snort. "Hmm...no. More of a fling. It was kind of ridiculous."

Jisoo moved the bell to Jennie's back, almost certain that her own heart might actually be beating a little faster. Especially being this close. Jennie's hair smelt like pears, mixed in with the sweet scent of whatever perfume she was wearing. She should have just stopped asking questions, not speak at all anymore, but ended up blurting out, "Why ridiculous?"

"We've known each other since high school, and well, " she blushed, looked at her knees. "It was kind of like, why haven't we tried , and then, oh that's why. "

Jennie wasn't straight.

"Oh," Jisoo said, moving away. Her thoughts went blank, though. Jennie, the worst person to have a feelings for, of course wouldn't make this easier on her. "Temperature," she then said, just to have something to say. But before she could turn around to ready the thermometer, Jennie was grabbing her hand.

"Jisoo," she said, eyes glimmering, "keep this between us, okay." And of course Jisoo knew why she'd ask that. She was an idol. But there was something so personal about the way she said it, like trust. She trusted Jisoo.

Jisoo grabbed her hand back, held it for a moment. It felt nice to hold her hand, just the smallest show of physical contact. "Of course."

The rest of the appointment went by with a lulling silence. Nothing uncomfortable, nothing weird. The sounds of medical equipment, of wrappers, of a thermometer under Jennie's tongue.

But when it was time to leave, Jennie lingered. Her cheeks turned a light pink as she shifted between legs. "I guess I won't see you until after christmas."

Jisoo's eyes widened. Oh, right. That was coming up in a few days. Had she even done her shopping, things had been so busy.

"Merry Christmas, Jisoo," Jennie said, smiling.

Jisoo smiled. "Merry christmas."
