SHE BENT ME

Test Of Identity

[LISA]

What was that long hug for? I really want to pull back but it feels like Jennie doesn't want to break it. She's like a koala.

Maybe she's clingy but I don't want to put something on my gay mind because I might misinterpret every single interactions. I might get hurt by expecting.

Well, I'm not really expecting anything.

The five of us are heading to the mall. Each of them have their own cars and I am the only one who's carless. Wait, is there a word 'carless'? Nah.

I called shotgun at Rosé's car and fastened the seatbelt.

"From now on, I will be your official chauffeur," she said proudly while driving.

"For real?" I said while smiling at her, acting excited but I still want to ride the bus though. "Are you going to charge me for your service, mademoiselle?" Rosé let a small laugh at what I said. I turned the music on and we're dancing to the rhythm of the song. It's our bond as best friends in every car ride.

I can buy my own actually but I want to live a life where I experience cooking my own food, cleaning my own house, not owning a car for once (even if I do have 3 cars in Thailand), and just feel like an average citizen in this country.

"How about you ask your uncle to buy you a car? I think he will do that because you are his future business buddy. Don't tell me your uncle doesn't pay you?" Rosé said and she glanced at me, gawked profusely.

I giggled.

"Nah, I told you. I don't want to be that much of a burden to him. He can put his money into his other assets or buy other assets, his money shouldn't be spent much just for a car. I'm just his niece, not his daughter. Also, I got good pay." Go Lisa, more lies. More lies. I can go to Hollywood with my acting. Am I good in acting?

Rosé shrugged her shoulder and agreed with what I said "You got a point. Your uncle is so lucky to have you."

"You haven't told me the whole story yet. Tell me now, pleaseeee?" she added, still insisting for me to tell her everything.

"No uh-uh. I have the right to not say anything, I have the right to remain silent," I shook my head and I end up getting a glare from her.

"What are you a criminal?" Rosé joked and pouted. We both laughed at our silliness.

"You look like a chipmunk when you do that. It's cuteeee," I said in a cute way. I hope I sound cute.

"You still need to tell me soon," Rosé said sternly and everything went silent while the music is still playing.

We arrived at the mall. Rosé parked her car beside Jisoo's, Jennie followed and parked her car beside Rosé, and Nayeon parked her car across us. Since some slots in our row are already occupied.

"Hey, nice car," Jennie smiled and said to Rosé then she suddenly looked at me. She smirked.

Here we go again.

"I actually ordered this last month when I met Lisa..." Rosé is chitchatting with Jennie. Telling her the whole story again on how she acquired the car and how she met me.

"So girls, where should we eat?" Jisoo asked waiting for an answer.

"Well. Anywhere," Nayeon answered. Jisoo's brows furrowed.

"You guys? Any suggestions?" Jisoo looked at us trying to get answers.

"Anywhere." Rosé and I said it together. We looked at each other and doing a high five for saying it altogether unintentionally.
