QUITS

Chapter 7

Jennie did not answer as the music finally starts playing again and the dance crew started going through their piece.

Jennie's eyes never left Lisa's figure. There are a lot of things that comes through Jennie's mind the past few days ever since she and Lisa started hanging out and most of them want her to stop what she's planning but the nagging feeling of wanting to get her revenge and her illogical mindset that refuses to get her logic fixed are overpowering her decisions.

Jennie never told anyone that she and Lisa had been going out for dinner right after Lisa's practices for about three consecutive days now. Lisa once asked her, in their second dinner, if she was waiting for her and she boldly told her she was. Of course, her plan is to make Lisa fall for her so she had to say that to keep it as real as possible. She would never admit to herself that she had grown to like Lisa's company.

Jennie constantly tells herself that Lisa's kind and playful gestures were all just a façade. In no way hell that Lisa doesn't recognize her, Lisa knows she went to Auckland, Lisa knows what happened to her in Auckland and, she purposely dropped Nayeon's name in hopes that Lisa could finally come clean but the woman did not. Deep inside her, she wants Lisa to do it so her mind has no reason to oppose what her heart has been telling her to do.

But if Lisa can't even face her past, Jennie might as well go with the plan. Tit for Tat.

"That's it! Good job everyone!" Taemin says which effectively grabs Jennie and Chaeyoung's attention.

"It's just 5 o'clock though?" Asks one of their members while grabbing his water bottle in the process.

Taemin grins. "Early dismissal. All of you need a rest, get as much rest as you can before the program starts."

"Well, who doesn't like long rest?" One cheerfully chirped which made them laugh.

"Exactly. Now stretch and freshen up. I'll see all of you here tomorrow by 5 o'clock. Just in case our costumes need adjustments." Taemin says before looking at Jennie who smiles and nods.

"Our department will help you out." The dance club and fashion department had a long history of partnership all throughout, so whenever the dance crew needed a helping hand in terms of attire, fashion crew will automatically lend a helping hand.

Taemin nods then looks at the others once again. "That's set then. It's a wrap. Don't forget to do your downtime stretches!"

Lisa and Jongin went straight to the corner to finish their stretch, it's been a long day for the both of them and they plan to eat dinner then head back home to get their well deserved rest.

Lisa had some changes in her Take Me choreography to keep the element of surprise because after all, it's the same song she performed in the audition, just not the same part of the song and she performed it days ago too.

Jongin's gently twisting his hip when his eyes caught Jennie's who are obviously looking at the oblivious Lisa. He noticed everything though, he had always been deemed to be a very good observant.

He knew Lisa and Jennie had been going out for dinner every after practices because he was in the same restaurant with his girlfriend that one faithful night. He had been meaning to ask Lisa about their relationship but just couldn't find the right time to do so.

When Jennie looks away to talk to both Seulgi and Taemin, Jongin transfers his attention to Lisa.

"Hey Lis."

Lisa is already in her final stretch. "Yo."

"What's the score?"

Lisa raises her eyebrow while looking at Jongin. "Score? What score?"
