164: The three of us were isolated

The next day, after a series of hospital examinations, Xu Zhiyou looked at the test results in her hand. "Chaeyoung, Lisa, you two can train."

"What about Jennie-oni and me?"

"How can you even ask that? Didn't you hear the doctor? Your back injury hasn't fully healed yet, and you need to ensure you get enough rest."

"It's fine! I can..."

"'Can' your head! How many years has it been? Your back injury still hasn't healed. You're really something."

Xu Zhiyou secretly congratulated herself. If she hadn't been careful and brought Kim Ji-soo for a check-up, it would have been a disaster if something had happened.

Kim Ji-soo also wanted to recover, but as a singing and dancing idol, she had no time to heal. She was stuck in a cycle of healing and re-injuring herself, which she found very frustrating.

"Your special training needs to be changed. I don't want to see you leave BLACKPINK one day because of a back injury."

Park Chaeyoung didn't doubt Xu Zhiyou's words at all. "Jisoo! Just listen to Zoe. We've only debuted for a year; we still have a long time ahead of us."

Lisa quickly chimed in, "That's right! Jisoo, we've already debuted, and you love acting. There's no need to joke around with your body."

Xu Zhiyou rolled her eyes. She couldn't understand how these two's brains worked. If persuasion worked, she wouldn't still be in this state after two years.

"You two, stop talking! If persuasion worked, she wouldn't still be like this."

Kim Ji-soo's face flushed. Xu Zhiyou had indeed told her more than once, but she had no time, nor the fate, to heal.

"Zoe! I'll be careful, I promise."

"Oh, please! I'd sooner trust you if I installed eyes on you. Lisa! I'm giving you a mission: keep a close eye on her. If she trains extra, tell me."

"Mission accomplished! I'll move into Jisoo's room tonight and sleep with her."

Kim Ji-soo's mouth twitched as she looked at Lisa speechlessly. "I told you to watch me, not to take advantage of me."

Lisa had learned well from Xu Zhiyou, earning the title of the second-most rogue in the group. Kim Ji-soo didn't want to sleep with her, fearing for her own innocence.

"Jisoo! This is a task the captain gave me, don't make it difficult for me."

Kim Ji-soo gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Lalisa! You've gotten bold, daring to use the captain to pressure me."

"Mianhae! I was wrong."

Lisa was a bit mischievous, but she knew her limits. Annoying Park Chaeyoung would at most result in a stomped floor to scare her, but annoying Kim Ji-soo would definitely lead to a beating.

Xu Zhiyou ignored the two of them and looked at Park Chaeyoung.

"Chaeyoung! Your task is quite arduous. See that old lady over there? Like Lisa, keep an eye on her."

Kim Jennie had been trying to minimize her presence ever since seeing the test results, but she hadn't been able to escape after all.

But speaking of it, why was she an old lady? "I've been like this since I was little, I'm not an old lady."

"Come back with me in a few days. I'll find an old Chinese doctor to help you recuperate. Your extra training is canceled. Get some good rest."

"No! I'll fall seriously behind. I'm the ACE..."

"ACE your cat head! Don't you know your own condition? You're so young, and you've already messed yourself up like this. If you leave the group, how will I be able to slack off?"

"But still no..."

"It's decided. Remember to take the medicine the doctor prescribed. If you dare to pull any stunts, I'll have the CEO cancel all your schedules and make you pick at your feet at home every day."

Kim Jennie pouted and chose to shut up. She knew Xu Zhiyou was doing it for her own good, but if Lisa surpassed her, how could she still be the ACE?

Kim Ji-soo looked at the pouting Kim Jennie. She was also helpless, barely able to protect herself, but still couldn't help but offer comfort.

"Jennie-oni! Zoe is right. You should rest. If it's really not possible, just listen in from the side and practice in your head..."

Xu Zhiyou really wanted to give her a punch. "Show Ge! Do you know what panic disorder is?"

"Isn't it just anxiety? We're all used to it." They were constantly being manipulated by Yang Hyun-suk; this was basic stuff.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Xu Zhiyou felt it was necessary to make her take it seriously. "I told you to study hard, but you insisted on herding pigs in the mountains."

"Pfft~"

Kim Jennie almost couldn't hold it in. If she laughed out loud, her eldest sister would surely get her. After all, she was speaking up for her.

Park Chaeyoung and Lisa didn't care. They grinned, showing their white teeth, laughing very happily. Kim Ji-soo's face darkened, and she took off her shoe, ready to hit someone.

Seeing this, Park Chaeyoung hugged her waist. "Calm down! Jisoo, we won't do it again."

Lisa went behind her and held her hands. The two of them cooperated so perfectly that Kim Ji-soo was truly furious.

Xu Zhiyou pulled Park Chaeyoung and the others away, then pulled Kim Ji-soo aside and showed her the information she had just collected.

"Show Ge! Read these case studies first."

Kim Ji-soo took the phone and started reading.

Palpitations, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, dizziness, and a sense of losing control—she had seen all of these symptoms in Kim Jennie.

The more she read, the more her brows furrowed. Jennie-oni, Jennie-oni, always following her around. Before, she only thought it was due to poor health, but she never imagined it was this serious.

"Then what should we do? Should we get a psychologist? What if it's a misdiagnosis? Didn't the doctor just say 'suspected'? No, I can't let her..."

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? I told you this because I want you to cooperate with me. What could possibly happen with me around?"

"Right, right, right! What about Chaeyoung and Lisa? Do they have any problems?"

"Yes!"

"Ah? What kind of problem? Is it serious?"

"Very serious brain damage. They keep annoying me for no reason. Did you forget? Yesterday, Chaeyoung even swung a fist at me. They definitely need to be disciplined."

"Yah! I'm being serious, and you're spouting nonsense. Are you trying to piss me off?"

"Who told you to overthink? Is it my fault?"

"Yah!"

"Yah, you round-headed person! I already said nothing bad will happen with me here. Why are you so anxious and flustered? When something happens, the first thing is to stay calm, OK?"

"Uh???"

This darn person always left her with nowhere to vent her anger, but seeing her calm and composed, she felt especially at ease.

"Then what do you plan to do? You can't just leave her alone, right? Or maybe I should take time off to accompany her."

"Do you think I'm just furniture? In a few days, I'll take her fishing, or do something else to cultivate some hobbies. She just cares too much about what others think and lives awkwardly."

"Are you talking about me?"

"What? Is that not allowed? Not just you, Lisa and Chaeyoung too. Don't think I don't know you guys hide under the covers late at night reading comments."

"We're idols, is it strange to look at those?"

"It's not strange, but you two get emotional after reading them, which seriously increases my workload. So, it is my business, don't you agree?"

"No way! I don't care."

"Don't try to fool me. We've slept in the same bed; don't try to show off your little thoughts in front of me."

"Yah! I'm your Unnie."

Xu Zhiyou pretended not to hear. "Show Ge! Do you know why you get along so well with Lim Nayeon and Kang Seul-gi?"

"What other reason could there be for getting along well? Compatible personalities, of course!"

"Then what's their status in their respective groups?"

Kim Ji-soo understood what Xu Zhiyou meant. She was subtly implying that Kim Ji-soo was immature, having aged without gaining wisdom.

The three people on the side, who were watching the drama unfold, saw their eldest sister go from being anxious and flustered to wanting to tear Xu Zhiyou apart.

Park Chaeyoung indignantly said, "Jennie-oni! Those two have little secrets behind our backs. What should we do?"
