Jennie

I was walking through the hallways of the entertainment minding my own buisness, thinking about how hard the girls and I had been working this week. As I was walking on my way, my shoulder bumped into Lisa. "Oh crap, sorry Jen." I paused to look at her for a moment, strange for a prankster like Lisa to apologise first. "No need, easy mistake." I answer back, I swear I could notice a slight blush in her cheeks.

I hadn't seen Lisa anymore later today, only a glimpse of her as she was rushing off to her private dance lesson. I was always wondering why she was in a rush, and I decided to ask her if anything was wrong since she was slightly off earlier. Less, Lisa... I run through the almost empty halls which only had myself and some staff passing through.

"Lisa!" I yell out to her as she comes into view where I had expected she would be, she immediately turned around scanning the area for me. She laid her eyes on me, and smiled brightly, her mouth crinkling to the edges straight away. She walks at a decent pace over to me and wraps her arms around me, she acted ever so much as the usual. It brushed away the thought I'd had of her being off earlier.

Lisa and I had been child hood friends, but had started really connecting together as close friends four years ago. Our story was the oh so typical, two best friends who lived in the same neighborhood who had known each other for what seemed to be the longest time. There was merely one aspect in our story that was going to make it more unique then anyone else's... We're in a band together now. And life couldn't be better.

"So, everything alright with you? Not working too hard." Lisa tilt her head at me, maybe I was on to her. "Nah, of course not. Don't you go worrying about me anyways." I placed my hand on the left side of her cheek softly. "Shut up you, ill always worry. We all gotta be our best selves to survive this career." She nodded shyly, I'm not going to push her to confide in me. This gesture alone is enough.

"Its nothing really, but thank you Jen." I stepped back a little for some space between us. "Your ever so welcome." She shook her head at me and laughed, she was being cute and cheeky. "God dont be too nice it'll kill you." She says, I laughed at her, I gave her a quick departing hug. We both have our own things to do today. "I've gotta go visit Jisoo about some things now so, I'll be off." She says, she seemed to be in a hurry as she broke away from our hug. "When can we hang out more Lalisa. I miss you." Lisa scratched the back of her neck thoughtfully. "Soon, I promise Jennie. See ya." She waved and hurried off to meet Jisoo, leaving me all alone to myself again.

Wondering how that much time passed by so quickly, so much as that I was late. It was true that I missed her presence, Yang always had us so damn busy in this hell hole. I just want some quality time after all these years training, debuting and performing... Is that too much to ask?

I was on the phone with my second biggest supporter, Chaeyoung. "She's been acting really closed off, yet affectionate with no problem." I said, I was starting to get really curious at the sudden changes. "You can't live life being so delusional Jennie. You mentioned her seeing Jisoo, it's for relationship advice but you didn't hear that from me." Rosé said after swallowing a spoonful of cereal. " Dont play me like that Chae." I heard Chaeyoung chuckle on the other side of the line.

"Can't you see that she is totally whipped. Like come on, blind much?" I sighed, which I think Rosé must've heard. "Ah, Jennie. I can't believe you didn't notice." I was mentally cursing at myself over and over, because now that it was mentioned... I was starting to consider what it would be like to be with her. "You went quiet Jennie. Are you considering?" I laughed at her, she was like a mind reader. "I love Lisa, but its hard to decide now in what way... I had no idea." I say, my voice drifting off a little to the end. "Well, I'll ask her if she'd ever consider it! Not suspiciously of course."

My smile grew bigger every time the thought of us popped into my head. "Ah, its alright. I'll test her you know?" I say. "Cruel Jennie." I frowned. "Says the one who just outed her." I said, trying to prove a point. "Whatever Jennie, I gotta go do some late night vocal training. Love you!" She says, with quite the rushful tone. "Bye Chaeyoung, love you too." I answer back non the less.

I lay plopped on my bed, and all I could think about was Lisa. A tight sensation filled my stomach as I thought about how nice it would be to snuggle into her arms every night. "Damn you Chaeyoung." I cursed out loud at her, if she hadn't told me I wouldn't be thinking about her...
