•✧ JENNIE'S POV ✧•

" Hurry up we're gonna be late! " - Spoke Jennie trying to get her roommate to fix her hair quicker but it was all in vain.

" Can you stop I'm getting panicked! " - She replied in an anxious tone and successfully made her hair with the help of hair gel as they both hurried to leave their dorm.

Reaching the ground they stood beside each other in the form of rows while waiting for their trainer. The sun wasn't out yet as it was still dark making the entire place look creepy. After a few minutes of waiting, their trainer, Commander Kim Taehyung arrived as the cadets hurried to greet him.

" Good morning sir! " - Their united and loud voice was enough to please Taehyung as he nodded his head before speaking.

" Good morning cadets! Good to see you all here on time. Has everyone arrived?? " - There was silence in the entire place as every cadet took their time to see if their roommates had arrived already.

" Yes sir we're all here! " - A male cadet spoke.

" Alright then, let's start our training by running some laps. 3 laps it is, turn to your right, go! " - His deep voice once again sent chills down everyone's spine as they wondered if all of the commanders were this strict and scary.

The voices of the cadets were echoing through the ground which covered Jennie's low pitched voice making it easier for her to not get caught by her trainer. Her face was already covered in sweat as she found it extremely hard to run because of the deadly cramps she was bearing with. She was already having that time of the month when it was not even time yet, because of her hormones being disturbed she was in trouble a week earlier.

Somi who was running beside Jennie noticed how she was having a hard time breathing and it was unusual for her to see Jennie like that as she wasn't struggling as much on their first laps.

" Stop running! Hey you! Come here. " - One of soldiers that were standing on the distance of every few meters to check if anyone was being lazy called out pointing towards Jennie making her sigh as she knew she was doomed.

Everyone stopped running and looked towards Jennie as she walked towards the soldier and stood straight not caring about her cramps. Taehyung who saw the cadets stop running, walked towards them as he stood in front of the soldier.

" What's wrong here? " - He asked making her fold her hand into a fist as she knew she was gonna get yelled at for sure.

" Commander! This girl here seems to be the only one having a hard time running." - He explained making Taehyung look at Jennie who had her head hung down due to embarrassment.

" What's wrong with you? You seem to be the only one having a hard time! Are you this weak that you can't even run a lap properly?! " - He yelled making her flinch as she looked up with glossy eyes.

" S-sorry sir. " - Her voice cracked making the other female cadets secretly laugh at her.

" Not accepted! You will run an extra lap because of your laziness. Now start and be more active! " - Her eyes slightly widened as she mentally cursed herself for making herself way too obvious.

Quietly walking back with the urge of crying, she once again stood next to Somi and started running when she was told to.

He, who was staring at Jennie the entire time didn't have any expressions on his face. He didn't fail to notice how she was trying hard to keep her speed matched with the others but didn't seem to care about it at all.

" Take a water break before we start our next training. And you! Cadet, Miss Jennie Kim. Get ready to run the extra lap. " - His eyes were glued to her figure as she tried to speak to him.

" C-can I just drink some water before I do so? " - Her voice came out low because of how she was breathing.

" No! Run the lap before you drink water and you will get only 5 minutes to rest. And if you waste more time you won't get that as well, So go! " - Sighing she got on the track again as she started running again. Her legs had already given up and she felt like her bones were going to move from their place for sure.

His cruelness made her curse him mentally with all the bad words she knew only to realize how she was making a fool out of herself since she couldn't even say it to his face. Was it just her he was being strict towards or was he like that to everyone?

Half way through the lap, her speed had decreased slowly as she wanted to stop for a moment but it was all in vain as he was continuously eyeing her from behind. Not wanting to give up she decided to think about her father who was her only source of energy and speeded up little by little.

Finally completing the lap she stopped immediately dropping her body to the ground as she sat there trying to catch her breath. He stood next to her as he stared at her with cold eyes before speaking.

" Drink water and head to the swimming lessons, you're wasting your time. " - Saying so he walked away making her scoff as she stared at his back wanting to throw stones at him but stopped when she realized something.

" Swimming lessons.. I can't take those.. Fuck. " - She got up and took the bottle of water from the table as she massaged her legs a little before walking towards the swimming center.

" There you are Jennie. Are you okay? " - Juda came running towards her as soon as she entered the swimming center, still wearing her work out clothes.

" Do I look like I'm fine? " - She said making the other one shake her head as she awkwardly chuckled.

" What about your swimmers?" - Jennie looked up at her and sighed.

" I can't swim.. " - Juda looked at her confused about what she was saying.

" Isn't that why- oh. What are you gonna do now? We're about to start. " - Shrugging her shoulders she looked at her swimming instructor as a thought came across her mind.

" I guess I will take the risk. " - She spoke walking away from Juda as she turned around looking at where she was going.

She walked towards the instructor and stopped in front of him as he looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

" What's wrong miss, where are your swimmers? " - She hid her hands behind her back as she found herself getting anxious again.

" Uh sir, I don't think I can swim today.. for the next few days actually. " - The instructor nodded understanding what Jennie was talking about.

" Oh, okay. I heard you ran an extra mile as well, are you good dear? " - He asked her politely as she smiled and nodded.

" I'm good thank you. I'll just sit down somewhere until the lesson ends. Can you please explain to Commander Kim if he asks why I'm not swimming?? " - He nodded as she bowed and walked towards the empty chairs to sit down.
