Lisa's POV
I just called my father to say that my car arrived and also to say my gratitude. He was asking if Jungkook and I fought and what happened to him driving me to school, of course, I have to lie. I don't want to worry them and I'm sure they will tell Jungkook's dad about it. I already put Jungkook through a lot and I don't want his dad to nag him to reconcile with me that will be too much for me.
I gave up after almost 30 minutes of looking for something to watch on Netflix. I'm too lazy to watch Riverdale's new season since Jungkook isn't here with me. Jennie texted me a while ago if I'm okay, I just simply answered yes and she doesn't have to worry. I really want our conversation to continue but she didn't reply after that, I guess she's busy or making out with Kai. Ugh, I don't want to imagine the latter, just the thought of them living under the same roof breaks my heart.
I turned off my TV and went downstairs to check if all the doors were locked. Jungkook usually messages to check on them, now I miss everything he does for me. When I was about to go back upstairs, the doorbell rang.
"Who would bother me at this ungodly hour?" I said to myself then looked at the monitor "Jen?"
I quickly opened the door. My best friend greeted me with her adorable gummy smile "Mind if I join you tonight?"
I stepped aside to let her in "Of course but mind if I ask why?"
She was carrying a small pink backpack, maybe her things were in it "Kai went to a sleepover with his friend that's why I took it as an opportunity to have our own sleepover."
I took her bag from her and we went straight to my room. I watched her as she comfortably lie down on my bed. I just can't help smiling at her, I always admire her and that adorable gummy smile of hers is one of the best things I admire about her. People thought Jennie was his harsh and stone heart person but in reality, she is the kindest and most charming. I know she was just putting up that aura to defend herself from being taken advantage of by other people.
"Why are you staring at me, Lisa?"
Just then, I was awakened from her charm. This is why I love and hate her at the same time.
"I just missed you." I lie down next to her and she immediately snuggled closer to me "Were you about to sleep?"
I was caught off guard when she rested her head on my chest. She usually does this but I'm still taken aback every time she does it.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Well, you usually watch TV before going to sleep, your TV is off so that means you were ready to bed. Lis, mind if I ask you something?"
"Sure, Jen." I acted cool but I was screaming inside
"What were the things you liked about Jungkook? The reasons why you fell for him."
I was surprised to hear those kinds of questions from her. She never liked Jungkook, everyone was aware of that but she's curious about the matter involving him, well maybe because I'm involved too.
I closed my eyes and Jennie's image smiling at me appeared. "I'm not sure why you're suddenly want to know about this but I'll give you the satisfaction. There are lots of things I like about him, his smile that could light up my whole world, the way he protects me, he treats me like I'm fragile..." No, that isn't him, Jen, that was you who I was describing "But there is no reason why I fell for him."
"What? Why?" I felt her lifting her head to look at me but I didn't bother to open my eyes
I can still feel her looking at me "I just felt it. The love and the fear of losing him." I really wanted to say that I was referring to her
That cute little girl waving at me across our new house, I know instantly that she will be a big part of my new life. I didn't regret migrating to Korea despite leaving lots of memories in Paris because I met her; Jennie.
Growing up I knew that I liked her in a different way and that little crushed bloomed into something beautiful; love. I agree every time people say that falling for your best friend is a nightmare. Is it definitely a sweet nightmare.
I love Jennie with all my heart and she's the love of my life. Now, I don't care anymore if Kai will get hurt, I just need Jennie to mine.
"That's odd because I know everything that made me fall for Kai." She rested her head again on my chest
"People love differently." I finally opened my eyes and combed her hair using my fingers "I wish Kai will go sleepover often, I really miss sleeping next to you."
She chuckled "Silly. By the way, I saw your car outside, you're not planning to talk to Jungkook anytime soon?"
"He's the one that doesn't want to talk to me and I'm giving him that."
"Is it because of what Taehyung did?"
"No, I did something terrible and me myself won't forgive me if I'm in his place." I truthfully said "I don't want to give up on him, Jen. He's part of what I am now."
She lifted her head and looked up at me "You love him that much?"
And there I was dumbfounded by her question. Of course, I love Jungkook that much because he's my best friend. If I'll say yes Jennie will think that I'm really in love with Jungkook but if I'll say no she will suspect.
"You can say that." I chose the safest answer
I thought Jennie was already asleep when she didn't say anything after a few minutes but I was wrong when I opened my eyes again.
"Lisa, I can't sleep." Jennie was tugging the sleeve of my shirt "Lisa, wake up."
"Jen, what time is it?" I groggily asked, slowly opening my eyes "What do you want me to do?"
"Do you have a beer in your fridge? Let's have a couple of drinks. Please?" She looked with those puppy eyes
Tell me how to say no to her? Tell me!
I kissed her forehead before getting up "Don't blame me for your hangover tomorrow." When I turned to look at her she was just staring at me, I chuckled and left her to get the beer she wants
I'm not planning to drink tonight since we have a dance practice tomorrow. I glanced at the wall clock while making my way upstairs. It's exactly midnight. What in the world does Jennie want to happen? She usually falls asleep when sleeping next to me.
She was watching Dickinson when I get back. Wow, why in the hell she was watching that?
"You're watching this series?" Jennie asked while her eyes were glued on the screen
I nervously sat next to her and handed her a can of beer "Y-yeah."
I didn't know how time flies but the next thing I knew Jennie was in her fifth can.
"Jen, you need to stop now." I snatched the can from her hand and placed it on my side table where I put all the cans
"You're no fun! You didn't even join me to drink." She slurred
She's definitely drunk. I sighed and took the remote to turn the TV off but she stopped me immediately.
"I'm waiting for Sue to kiss Emily." Jennie pouted
I was in complete shock "What?"
Jennie looked at me intensely "I always wonder how it is like to kiss a girl, especially you, Lisa."
Oh god, the alcohol really got into her system. But wait, she was wondering what it is like to kiss me?
"What are you doing, Jen?"
She was moving closer to me, she placed her hand on the side of my face so gently like I'm a fragile thing.
"Do you know how jealous I get every time that Jungkook touches and kiss you?" She leaned in and now our faces were just an inch away
"Jen, you're drunk." I tried to push her but she just brought herself closer to me
Did I turn the aircon off? Why does the room become hot?
She tucked my hair behind my ears and the next thing she did make me go crazy.
"Kiss me back, Lisa."
It took me seconds before it all registered to my mind. Jennie is kissing me right now! JENNIE FUCKING KIM IS KISSING ME!
I closed my eyes and kissed her back. I've been dreaming about it for so many years and now it's happening.
Oh god, her lips were so soft and the taste of her cherry chopstick and beer mixed to my tongue.
"Jen..." I moaned when I felt her hand inside my shirt
I felt cold when her lips left mine, she looked into my eyes, brought her two hands to my face, caressed me lovingly, and said, "I love you, Lisa. I love you more than just a best friend."
