K-pop Idol Imagines - Chapter 29: Chapter 29

"Love? Wake up. You're gonna be late, "a soft whisper and a light squeeze on her shoulder pulled Y/N out of her deep slumber.
"Mmm, Jen, let me sleep more..." Y/N grumbled as she turned around and tugged the sheets over.
"But, love, you have a meeting with your staff today, "Jennie said as she pressed a light kiss against her cheek.
That made Y/N wake up from her sleep fully as she instantly sat up straight in her bed, staring off into the space. Jennie sat beside her as she laid her head against her shoulder and hooked her arm with Y/N's.
"Good morning, "Jennie said.
Y/N took a deep breath and released it as she replied, "Morning."
Carefully pulling apart, Y/N walked to the bathroom to get ready for the day but didn't throw a glance at her lovely girlfriend, which internally hurt her. Jennie decided not to think much of it and got dressed for the meeting with Teddy.
She walked into her closet and got dressed in a comfortable blazer and jeans with a crop top for the day. Jennie decided to wait for Y/N to come out and then she would bid her goodbye, but it was taking too long.
"I'll be late..." she murmured under her breath as she checked the time on her phone. A sudden message popped up on the screen, which urged her to go, leaving a note for Y/N at the dining table.
Jennie felt bad that she didn't have much of a time with Y/N these days but being the k-pop idol she had her duties to do. She left the house and drove off to meet Teddy.
After five minutes, Y/N came out of the shower wearing her bathrobe, she had a bunch of speech ideas in her mind to say today. Her restaurant was being renovated and she had so much work to do that it occupied her all time.
Hurriedly getting dressed, she picked up her bag and walked into the kitchen to have a slice of bread or two for the day. As she reached the table, beside her plate a yellow sticky note was stuck on the table.
Y/N picked it up and read.
Hey, love
I'm sorry that I couldn't have breakfast with you today. Teddy had something important for me so I had to leave early. I'll make it up tonight!
Yours, Jen :)
A sigh escaped her lips as she scratched the back of her neck. With all the work she had, Y/N forgot to give her time to the love of her life. She felt guilty reminiscing the events from this morning and thought how much it had hurt Jennie.
"Why are you so... thoughtful, Jen?" Y/N murmured under her breath as she took out her phone and dropped a message saying, I love you. Take care!
Eating the breakfast that Jennie made for her, Y/N walked out of the apartment and towards her car. She revved up the engine and drove towards her pristine restaurant which she dearly adores. The renovation idea was given by her head chef, and Y/N couldn't agree more.
Y/N knew that her restaurant was already very much famous but some changes wouldn't hurt. So, she carefully planned out the design she wanted with the help of her supporting staff and put all her efforts into this project.
Today she had a meeting with all her staff members for further discussion. It's been two weeks since the renovation started and the restaurant had been closed. With the closing, it definitely hurt its income.
Y/N had to think thoroughly about her decisions before taking a step. Today's meeting was about the renovation of the ceiling. She had prepared many ideas and designs the night before, resulting in her getting much less sleep than usual.
She massaged her left shoulder which ached as she steered the wheel on the road.
After half an hour of drive, Y/N reached the restaurant and entered through the door. The loud noise of construction and workers talking invaded her senses as she straighten her back to execute the professionalism.
As she walked into the kitchen, she saw her beloved staff discussing something over the sound of a drilling machine. Y/N stepped near them and greeted, "Good morning, guys."
All of them turned around and bowed her, greeting in chorus, "Good morning, Ms. Y/N!"
"How's the work going over here? All as decided?" she asked, walking out the kitchen as her staff followed her behind.
Her manager, Yujin, stood beside her and informed, "Yes, Miss. The work is going great and as we decided. It turns the designs are more beautiful than in the papers."
A smile crept on Y/N's lips as she replied, "Well, that's a piece of great news. Hope the design I brought for the ceiling looks beautiful too."
"It will. You're the best, Miss!" Yujin said at which the whole staff seemed to agree.
The next three hours were all discussions and presentations. Y/N and her staff decided and drew a whole new piece of interior for the restaurant. Y/N couldn't help but feel the need to furnish the little details of her own.
"I am so damn tired!" the head chef groaned as he cracked his knuckles.
"Yeah, me too, "the waitress replied as sighed out loudly.
"Me three, "Yujin said.
She looked at Y/N who was deeply engrossed with a pencil in her hand and ruler to accompany her. Diligently clearing her throat, Yujin asked, "Miss?"
"Hmm."
Yujin shared a glance with others on the table before saying, "Today is Saturday. We were hoping..."
Y/N looked up from her work and nodded, asking, "Hoping for what?"
"That if we could leave early today. You know to spend some time with family and enjoy..." Yujin's voice faded at the end as she looked down on the table.
Y/N twirled the pencil in her hand as she scanned the room. Checking the time on her watch, she announced, "You all are dismissed for today. I can manage from here."
"Really?" all of them asked with anticipation, questioning if it was a joke or not.
Y/N smiled and replied, "Really. Now, go and enjoy!"
"You're the best, Ms. Y/N!" with that said they all rushed out of the restaurant with happy faces.
Y/N shook her head as she squared her shoulder, getting all her focus to work again. She picked up the eraser and started working on the piece of her design.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"Okay! That was great, Jennie, "Teddy said as Jennie came out of the recording booth.
Sighing, she picked up her water bottle and drank up the thirst. Jennie looked at Teddy who was layering the voices over the instruments as she asked, "When are we gonna use this?"
Teddy looked at her and replied, "Maybe for the next single? I don't know. But, this will be a great snippet for future songs."
"You know, why not give us a comeback then? "Jennie asked with her most sarcastic tone.
Teddy gave her a shrug, saying, "I am trying my best, Jennie. Let's wait and watch for what the future holds."
"Sure."
She picked up her bag and bid him goodbye. Walking out of the building, Jennie sat in her car as her manager drove the car to her home. Taking out her phone, she checked the time.
"It's eight already? What a long day..." she decided to scroll through her phone as her eyes drifted off to the message from Y/N.
She opened it and found that it was in the morning. Nevertheless, a flutter inside her chest made her smile broadly. Jennie realized how much she just love Y/N and couldn't get over the fact that a mere text from her made her so happy.
Reaching home, Jennie freshened up and she made dinner for both of them. She wanted to do something special for her tonight so she cooked all of Y/N's favorite and obviously, her favorite dessert.
As she settled all the dishes on the dining table, she rested her hands on her waist, saying, "Perfect. Just have to wait for her to see."
Just then the sound of the door opening and closing was heard and Jennie excitedly rushed to welcome Y/N. But as she reached the front door, she saw Y/N kneeling on the ground while holding onto her head.
Y/N groaned deeply as her grip around her head tightened. Jennie gasped as she kneeled down, saying, "Y/N! What happened? Are you okay? Love? Tell me!"
"H-Head..." Y/N tried to say as she tightly closed her eyes.
Jennie rubbed her shoulder as her heart hammered in her chest. She had her eyebrows knitted with anxiety as she tried to help Y/N to the couch.
"H-Headache..." Y/N managed to let out a coherent word for Jennie to understand.
"I-I'll bring an Aspirin. Just wait here, "Jennie said as she rushed to her room and took out the packet of Aspirin from their medicine box.
Bringing a glass of water, Jennie passed Y/N the pill and said, "H-Here, drink it. You will feel better."
Y/N took the pill with shaky hands as she swallowed it with a big gulp of water. Jennie rubbed her hand on her back for a soothing effect and it really helped Y/N. Wiping the corner of her mouth, Y/N kept the glass on the table in front of her as she held her head.
"I-I don't feel good, Jen..." Y/N said as sweat formed on her forehead and she laid her head against the back of the couch.
Jennie was panicking as she didn't know what to do. Taking a deep breath and gulping heavily, she shook her head to get herself to think straight. She helped Y/N sit straight and said, "Remove your blazer. It will help you."
Obeying, Y/N removed her blazer as she felt Jennie gripping her collar. Jennie opened two of her top shirt buttons to let her lose and breathe properly. Y/N sighed as she found herself properly breathing again.
Jennie sat beside her as she worriedly looked at Y/N who had her eyes closed and looked a little relieved than before. She was holding onto her hand while rubbing her thumb softly against her skin to soothe the pain a little.
"Are you... feeling fine now?" Jennie asked, voice soft.
Y/N looked at her girlfriend with hooded eyes and replied in a raspy voice, "I'm fine now... Don't worry."
"But, it breaks my heart seeing you like this... again, "Jennie said as she almost whispered the last word.
Y/N groaned lightly as she sat up straight and said, "I'll be here in a few moments. Go and settle down at the dining table."
She leaned forward and pressed a kiss on her forehead before standing up and picking up her blazer, walking towards her room. Jennie sat there looking at her retreating figure as she found herself traveling back to a traumatizing memory.
"No! No, it's nothing like that..." she shook her head and stood up with a positive mindset to eat dinner happily with Y/N.
Just then, Y/N descended downstairs in her casual clothes and freshened up. No one could tell that she just had a severe headache.
"What'd you made me, Jen?" Y/N said as she sat while rubbing her hand and looking at the dishes with a smile.
"Your favorites, "Jennie replied with a simple answer as she waited for her to look at her.
"Oh, really? Thank you so much, Jen! I was really hungry!" Y/N said as she picked up the lids of the dishes and started smelling the food with a hungry appetite.
Jennie just stared as if boring holes in her soul so that Y/N could notice her, but Y/N was stubborn too, she didn't.
"Y/N L/N, "Jennie sternly said which made Y/N sit still, and gradually she looked at her.
"Y-Yes, Jen?" Y/N said, her voice timid. She feared whenever Jennie called her by her full name instead of love.
"We have to talk. Now, "she said as she sat in the chair next to her, eyes never leaving the girl.
Y/N nodded as she looked down at her lap, nervous. She heard Jennie heaving a sigh and then, saying, "That was not normal what happened a few minutes ago, Y/N. You never had a severe headache like this since... you know."
She waited for Y/N to nod and reply with a yes to her sentence, but that didn't happen. "Am I right, Y/N?"
Y/N rubbed her palm on her thighs as she straightened her back and pursued her lips as she looked everywhere but Jennie.
Jennie's heart hammered in her chest as she leaned closer and grabbed her hand, asking, "Am I right, Y/N?"
Y/N closed her eyes and replied, "No."
"What do you mean, no? Did you have this severe headache before too?"
Y/N subtly nodded at which Jennie let out a gasp. She cupped her cheeks and made her look at her asking, "This is not true right love?"
Y/N's eyes showed sadness and Jennie's showed heartbreak as she breathlessly answered, "It is true..."
"But, your cancer was long gone, Y/N! It was two years ago!" Jennie said as tears glistened in her eyes and her voice raised a little bit.
"It can come back too..." Y/N said at which Jennie pulled apart abruptly and stood in hysteria.
"No, it's not true. You're kidding me, right? It can't be. It can't be true!"
Jennie couldn't help but cry at her words.
They started dating almost five years ago and when they first got to know that Y/N had cancer, Jennie did everything in her hand to save Y/N. Fortunately, Y/N recovered after a few surgeries and the symptoms didn't show in the last few years.
But, just hearing that it could come back, broke Jennie's heart into millions of pieces. The thought of losing Y/N was too painful to even imagine for her.
Y/N stood up and turned around from Jennie, saying, "I'm going to sleep... I don't have an appetite anymore."
With that said, she left and Jennie was standing there, feeling all her world tumbling down and in the shackles.
