JENNIE
"It's so annoying that I always have to go home just because Jisoo wants to act like a dutiful perfect daughter." I groaned into the phone as I drove home to my parents' house. "I don't see why I'm always required to go as well."
"You'll be happy to see your parents." Rosé laughed. "Plus you might meet another girl or guy maybe and have another night of hot sex."
"Yeah sure." I laughed. "Unlikely." I flushed as I thought about my one night stand. "Plus I'm not going to make it a habit."
"I can't believe you didn't even get her name." Rosé laughed. "I know I dared you, but I didn't think you'd go through with it."
"I didn't sleep with her because you dared me, Rosé." I giggled. "And I didn't get her name because it didn't matter. It's not like she wanted mine." I thought back to the Miracle Tongue and the fact that I had no name to match her gorgeous face. "She made it very clear that it was just going to be a night of hot sex and that was it."
"I'm sure you could have stayed for a second night."
"I'm glad I left." I smiled into the phone. "If anything I left her wanting more. If I'd stayed until she woke up and waited to see what she was going to say, I would have looked like a desperate loser."
"No, you might have gotten morning sex."
"I didn't need morning sex. We had enough sex to last me for months." I lied. I would have loved to have had morning sex with her. She'd been a terrific lover and I'd spent every night of the week thinking about her and the things she'd done to me.
"It's just sad. You can't even contact her."
"It's better that way." I sighed. "Rosé, she said she wasn't expecting anything to happen that weekend either. I think her life is complicated. I don't think she was looking for anything other than a night."
"Oh well, sucks for her." Rosé said cheerily. "When are you back? Tomorrow night?"
"Yeah, I should be," I sighed, thinking about how I was going to have to act like the perfect daughter. "I just hope that Jisoo doesn't have more exciting news to share." I groaned. The last couple of times I'd been home, she'd gotten into a PhD program, she'd adopted a stray dog, and she'd won a local volunteering award. It was just too much to compete with. I had no such accolades to share.
"If she shares any more exciting news, you should share yours as well." Rosé giggled.
"What news?"
"The fact that you got laid last week to a very, very hot woman."
"Yeah, I'm going to share that." I laughed. "I'd give my dad a heart attack."
"It would be funny to see their faces though."
"No, it wouldn't be." I groaned as I pulled up the driveway. "Hey, I'm home. I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Sure have fun." Rosé said and hung up as I turned off the engine and then got out of my car.
"Just smile, Jen." I muttered to myself as I grabbed my bag. "It won't be so bad. Who cares what great news Jisoo has now. Grin, pretend to be happy and leave as soon as you can." I mumbled and walked to the front door.
"Jen, you're here." My mom opened the door before I could even ring the doorbell. "We've been waiting for you."
"I'm here." I grinned at her and made a face. "No need to sit around and wait anymore."
"That's not funny, young lady." She shook her head. "Now come in."
"I'm coming." I rolled my eyes, dropped my bag in the hallway and took a deep breath. I already knew it was going to be a long weekend. My mom was wearing one of her Sunday Church dresses. That meant she was excited and that whatever Jisoo had done must be special. Maybe she'd saved someone from dying. Maybe she's found a cure to the common cold. Maybe she was moving to the North Pole. I grinned then. That would actually be amazing news.
"Are you listening to me Jen?" My mom frowned as we walked into the living room.
"Of course, mother." I smiled at her and took a deep breath.
"I want you to meet our guest." She nodded towards the couch and that's when time stood still. It literally stood still, as I saw Miracle Tongue sitting on the couch with my dad, a cup of tea in her hand.
"Hello." She stood up and smiled at me, as if she hadn't just had a one night stand with me the weekend before.
"Hello." I said softly, my face red. Oh my God, why she was here? Had she told my parents? Oh God, why me?
"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Lalisa." She walked over and shook my hand.
"I'm Jennie." I shook her hand as if I didn't know her, but I knew she had to have felt the jolt of electricity that had passed through us as we touched.
"Nice to meet you Jennie." Her eyes teased me. I wanted to ask her why she was here, but my parents were there, watching us. I didn't think they'd appreciate me asking her if she was some sort of stalker.
"You too." I squeaked out.
"You have something on your ear." She leaned forward and I felt her fingers brushing the top of my ear. Then I felt her breath in my ear drum. "Now I have a name to put to the face when I think of our night together." She said huskily and I felt the tip of her tongue on my earlobe.
"What are you doing here?" I said softly, a smile plastered on my face for my parents benefit. Had she tracked me down because she wanted this to be more than one night? My heart thudded as I wondered about her appearance. Had I made that big of an impression on her?
"What would you like me to be doing here?" She asked softly, her eyes not leaving mine as she studied my face.
"I..." I stumbled as I stared at her, all of a sudden feeling faint and excited at the same time.
"Jen, I see you've met Lisa." My sister Jisoo ran into the room, a huge smile on her face and her purple hair bobbing around her shoulders. Of course she looked as perfect as she always looked, not a hair out of place.
"Yes." I nodded. "I've met her." I smiled awkwardly and looked to the door and watched as a man walked into the room.
"This is Lisa's brother, Haruto." Jisoo nodded towards the guy, who looked like a more handsome and sweeter version of Lisa.
"Hi." I smiled at him warmly. "It's nice to meet you Haruto." Then I looked back at Jisoo, confusion setting in. "Not to sound rude, but why are they both here?"
"Mom and dad didn't tell you?" Jisoo looked excited as she grinned at me and then at our proud parents.
"No, that's why I'm asking." I was impatient in my confusion.
"I'm engaged." She squealed and showed me her engagement finger. A huge diamond sparkled on her finger and I stared at it feeling very impressed, if not slightly jealous.
"Congratulations." I gave her a quick hug and turned to Haruto. "And to you too. I'm happy to welcome you to the family." I grinned as I gave him a hug as well. I could feel Lisa's eyes on me and my stomach flipped. Oh my, had I just slept with my sister's fiancé's sister? Oops. I flushed as I stepped back from Haruto.
"Oh no, the congratulations aren't to me." Haruto laughed. "I'm not the one that's engaged."
"What?" My face turned white as I turned to look at Lisa. Oh my God, no!
"Haruto's not my fiancé silly." Jisoo laughed and I watched as she put her arm through Lisa's and grinned at me. "Lisa's my future wife to be."
"Oh." My eyes widened and I took a step back as I felt the world spinning around me. Oh my God, it was worse than I'd thought.
"Yes." Lisa's eyes searched mine. "It was supposed to be a surprise."
"Aren't you happy for me, Jen?" Jisoo bounced up and down and I felt sick to my stomach. "We're all going to be one happy family."
"Uh yeah." I nodded demurely. Should I tell her? My brain was screaming at me. What could I say? I had sex with your fiancé last week. "Congrats. That's amazing news." I looked back at Lisa and her eyes were still on mine.
"You were right." She said softly as she walked over to me and I glared at her.
"About?" I said softly as Jisoo walked over to talk to Haruto with my parents.
"You are trouble with a capital T." She winked at me as her hand ran down my back and over my ass gently. "A big capital T."
"Don't touch me." I hissed and stepped back. "You're engaged to my sister."
"It's not what you think." She said slowly, her eyes piercing into mine.
"I think you're engaged to my sister, what part of that do I have incorrect?"
"Come to my room tonight and I'll tell you." She smiled a confident smile and took a step back. "I'll tell you all the things you want to know." My breath caught as she brushed my hair back and leaned forward. "And I'll show you all the things you've been missing since last week as well."
"How dare you?" I gasped.
"I dare many things Jennie Kim." The smile was gone from her face as she stared at me. "You'll see that this is just the beginning of the many things I dare to do."
