Silent Heart (Lisrene Adaptation)

L.I.F.E

Irene: Are you really serious?

Irene carefully examined Lisa's face if she was serious about wanting to be friends with her. Irene could see Lisa's dead serious face, like she was very determined to be friends with her. Lisa's eyes were in a deep brown shade and she can feel that Lisa's focus is in her. And it made her a bit conscious about herself.

"Why do I sense how determined she is? Is it the "friend" thing? And she's really serious! I don't think it's a good idea, Irene, remember that Seulgi was jealous on her earlier. But it seems her intention is just to be friends with me. How is this?" Irene said to herself

Lisa: Serious

Irene: My gosh, she's really serious. She intended to say it in her brain, but it came out of her mouth

Lisa stops her tracks and Irene followed and Irene got shocked when Lisa face her.

Lisa: I want to figure out what does a friend means, I can't explain further, but a part of me wants to know what it is and how does it feel to have one. If you decline, you can openly say no and I won't hold it against you.

Irene: The heck, she got mad! My gosh, alright!  I'll be your friend, in one condition!

Lisa was uplifted when Irene agreed in being "friends" with her, she wanted to smile, but her muscles were a bit struggling to paint it in her face because of Irene's last words. She never thought that being a friend has a negotiation included on it, but she had no choice but to accept her conditions.

Lisa: Acknowledge that, name your terms. 

Irene: Is it your habit to be like so uptight?

Lisa: Huh?

Irene: Like you're unwilling to relax or something, it's kinda weird

"What? And I'm being the weird one? Maybe she is, she asked a condition, but just had to shift her attention to something else. That's not the rules of negotiation, doesn't she know that? And she doesn't see that I'm relaxed?"  She madly said in her mind

Lisa: You're statement is irrelevant to our conversation. State your terms Irene.

Irene: Hmm. Nothing beyond that, a friend is a friend. Maybe you fall for my beauty inside and out, so I'm telling you right now. We can only be just friends, I love my girlfriend. Hehe

"Huh? What is she saying? Is she high or something? Records show her data is clean, but what the hell is she saying? Me falling? Eh why I am falling for her? Is she a cliff?! She needs professional help" Lisa said to herself

Lisa: Falling is unacceptable. I have not, nor will I fall. Condition is acceptable Irene.

Irene was surprised by Lisa's answer, she said it so sure and without hesitation. So it was true that all Lisa wants is just being friends with her and nothing beyond that, at least for her part it was already clear that Lisa had only a pure intention but a part of her was sadden and felt a bit of sting where her heart was pumping blood to her whole being. Which eventually Irene was holding her chest because of that sting she felt in her chest while looking at Lisa's serious and mysterious eyes.

Irene: Uhm, tha-that's good... uhm, we... uhm, are clear about it...

The two started to walk again towards their class, and when they arrived in their classroom, Irene took her seat and Lisa place Irene's book on top of her desk. Irene smiled at Lisa and thank her because of carrying her book, their prof arrived just in time and Lisa immediately went to her prof and give her class card. The prof was shocked because of Lisa's surname, she look at Lisa from head to toe and up to her head in disbelief.
