•✧ JENNIE'S POV ✧•

" I never said I blamed you for anything, Juda. " - She spoke while crossing her arms as she was still upset.

" Okay fine! I get it. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions without talking to you. I'm sorry about it so can you just let it go, Jen? " - She pleaded while looking at Jennie with innocent eyes.

" Not that easily. " - She replied as she walked away making the other one sigh as she gave up.

" You're such a hard-to-convince person. " - Said Juda as she continued eating her food.

Class had ended almost half an hour ago as everyone was now at the cafeteria eating lunch. Jennie attended class and was instantly greeted with many questions by her classmates as she couldn't do anything but to answer them. And because of all of the questions she was asked, she also got to know that the two girls who bullied her were suspended from the Military training and won't be able to enter again for the next few years. The news was quite shocking to her as she didn't think it would be this serious when it came to bullying someone in the Military since it was quite common in Korea among highschools mostly. But obviously it's the Military and they won't accept any violation of laws.

" Somi-ah. I never really got to know you properly. Tell me more about yourself. " - Said Jennie gaining Somi's attention as she shrugged her shoulders before speaking.

"Well, I'm 21 years old. I was born in Canada. My mother is Korean, my father is Canadian and Dutch. So I'm basically Korean, Canadian and Dutch. " - She said as she took a bite of her food.

Jennie and Juda were looking at Somi with shocked expressions and when she finally noticed them, a chuckle escaped her mouth.

" That is so cool. So that's why your visuals looked insanely unique to me when we first met." - Said Jennie as she took the last bite of her kimchi.

" Thanks! You're even prettier what can I say. And.. yeah. You too. " - She said pointing at Juda for a brief moment as she rolled her eyes in return.

" Thanks I guess. We're all done eating so let's go back to our dorm-" - She was cut off when the speakers that were attached to the walls for announcements went off making them all cover their ears because of the loud noise.

" Attention dear Cadets of Group C, trained by Commander Kim Taehyung. As today is the weekend, you have been granted access to the Cinema room for the next 8 hours and you're also allowed to explore any outdoor areas of the Military base, the Cinema is located on the top floor. The room you have access to is Cinema number 2. Make sure to return back to your dorms before 8 pm, which is your curfew. Enjoy your weekend. " - The announcer announced making all the Cadets excited. Juda, Somi and Jennie looked at each other and did a high-five as Jennie excitedly spoke.

" Well looks like we're gonna have some fun today. Let's go back and change before heading there. "

The three roommates changed their clothes after taking a shower, Jennie was alone in the dorm as she was drying her hair since she was the last one to take a shower.

A sigh escaped her mouth as she placed the hairdryer on the desk before taking the plug out. After keeping it in it's place, she took a hair tie and was about to put her hair up but then decided to keep it on her wrist for now as having her hair up wasn't necessary for today.

Deciding to head to the Cinema as well, she turned the dorm's lights off and wore her sneakers before walking towards the staircase.
Her shoes weren't in the best state as she has had them for the past 3 years. Because of continuously wearing one pair of shoes, they became worn out and she was constantly made fun of for not being able to afford new ones. Though she decided to not care about them and focused on her studies, her studies also became a waste when she didn't have the money to do specialization in the field she chose. She was disheartened and didn't want to pursue her dreams anymore, it made her feel humiliated for no apparent reason. She barely made any money to eat two times a day after she became self dependent, and most of the time when the rent for her apartment was due she couldn't pay it.

Even after being through a lot of troubles and problems, she never complained to anyone about it. And that was what kept her going.

These days she wasn't getting much sleep as well, because of the early training and overthinking. Getting only 4-5 hours of sleep wasn't enough to charge her energy and that lead to several headaches throughout the day and so on. It felt like she was challenging herself even harder.

Her hand was holding the handle of the door to the Cinema, and she was debating whether she wanted to head inside or not. Her headache was making every little noise around her annoying and she didn't want to irritate others because of it.

Another sigh escaped her mouth, she couldn't even count the times she had sighed throughout the day.

She pulled her hand back, slowly turning around as she walked away from the room. The noise slowly disappeared from her hearing.. and she felt a wave of peace running through her body.

A small smile appeared on her face as soon as she stepped outside of the building. The air was colder than usual as it was almost the month of November, the upcoming Winter season made her excited as she knew she would get to experience the snowfall with her friends this year rather than spending it alone like every year since her father's death.

Her footsteps took her to the beautiful garden of the Military base, she couldn't help but to admire the beauty of nature as the different types of flowers caught her eyes. Besides the flowers there were also different kinds of plants there, that she maybe had never seen before.

Suddenly she saw something moving behind the huge tree that was further inside the garden. Curious to see what it was, she walked towards it and almost jumped when the little squirrel ran towards the nuts that were placed in a wooden bowl.

A soft chuckle escaped her mouth as she walked closer to it, crouching down as she watched the baby squirrel eating the nuts in a cute way as it's cheeks were puffed up.

Surprisingly the small animal stared back at Jennie before running closer to her foot. And she didn't waste the opportunity to caress it's head as he seemed to enjoy it as well.

" Cute. " - She mumbled to herself and suddenly flinched when a voice startled her from behind.

"Aren't you going to watch the movie?"
