After a winter break, everyone get back on a normal stressing day. Unlike Irene and seulgi that became an official couple like Jisoo and Jennie, chaeyoung had question herself what did she do to make lisa feel so distant toward her like this. Even when they come back from the trip, lisa refused to sit next to her. It would be a lie if she said that it didn't hurt but she believes that lisa probably have a reason for that and she looking for a chance to ask for it.
However every time she tried to get into a topic, lisa always mention that she's busy with stuff. They always have a Friday night policy which they always have to sleep over, but these days lisa always tell that she couldn't make it.
" What's wrong with lisa these days?" Joy ask.
" What do you mean?" Nayeon ask back.
" I mean, she usually clingy to chaeyoung, but now I noticed that she's avoiding the blonde "
" I noticed it too" Jisoo suddenly join a conversation.
" Do you know anything?" She ask Nayeon.
" I have no idea" Nayeon shook her head.
" Maybe she's going through puberty???" Yeri shrugged.
" Where's chaeyoung and Jennie tho?" Irene ask.
" I saw chaeyoung in the library and Jennie I don't know" seulgi reply.
" Jisoo?" Irene look at Jisoo.
" Huh??"
" I don't know too, she doesn't respond to my text"
" She must be busy preparing for final. You know this is our last year .." Jisoo smile.
" Way to tell yourself after getting ignored by your girlfriend" Yeri said.
Joy nudge Yeri on the rib to shut up, making a younger girl whine.
Meanwhile Jisoo just smile, she texts Jennie this morning but seems like a younger girl is busy. She doesn't want to bother with so much call and text which is why she wait for her.
" by the way I haven't seen hanbin around lately" Joy suddenly say.
" Now that's you say it. Maybe he doesn't bother Jennie anymore because he knows Jisoo will beats him up" Yeri said.
Jisoo ears perked up once she heard a name.
" What's hanbin to Jennie??" Jisoo ask, looking serious.
Yeri and Joy looking at each other, forgetting about Jisoo present. They look over Irene asking for help.
" Is there anything I couldn't know???" Jisoo ask again.
" It's not like that. It's just that Jennie doesn't like it" Irene spoke.
" and why is that??? I am her girlfriend but seems like I know nothing about her" Jisoo getting furious.
" Jisoo, You know she likes you. Can't you wait for her??" Irene sound pissed.
Jisoo scoff and getting up from her seat.
" jisoo ahhh" seulgi trying to grab her friend hand but Jisoo shake it off.
" Irene , would you cut her of slack?? She's very edgy right now."
" and you think my friend isn't?"
" Jennie has been ignoring her. What do you expect? Of course she would feel insecure"
Irene doesn't say anything and just leave.
" Joohyun.." seulgi follow.
Joy, Yeri and Nayeon look at each other.
" Why do we always witness their sweet and bickering things?" Yeri ask.
" That's a circle of single life buddy. " Nayeon getting up. She pat Yeri shoulder and leave.

" Ya.... Look who's always here now" mino said as he dropping his bag on the ground.
" don't talk to Me" Lisa said without looking.
" Are you trying to punish that poor punching bag??" He said, getting his boxing gloves.
" Didn't I tell you not to talk to me??" Lisa drain in sweat.
" So ??? Do you wanna fight me for talking with you??" Mino walk toward his friend.
" You fuck.." Lisa launch toward mino.
Mino used his hand in protection, letting Lisa punch him nonstop because he sense that it would be coming. He know that Lisa is furious and he wants her to let it all out. Lisa had quit boxing long time ago because chaeyoung doesn't like it because Lisa would go to school looking all bruised. But now seeing that she come back to the gym everyday after class, mino know the reason why.
" Ahhhhhh...." Lisa shout, she drop on her knee.
" I am a jerk."
As Lisa spoke, her voice started off sharp, but then, she broke down, and before Mino knew it, Lisa was on the verge of tears, trying desperately to hide it and keep her face and her words straight and stern.
" You know chaeyoung right???" She ask.
Mino nods, sitting beside his friend.
" Yeah, the one who make you stopped boxing"
Lisa scoff.
" I can't believe the reason that I come back again also because of her"
" Waeee?? Is something happened between you two?"
" How should I put it?" Lisa look up, trying to push back her tears.
" I'm scared?"
Mino sitting in silent, letting his friend pour her feeling out.
" She likes me..."
" Chaeyoungie.... She likes me... and I'm so oblivious to noticed it. She cried and I didn't know that I was the reason behind it. "
" I ask God why He couldn't just make it easier for the both of us... I don't wanna lose her"
" You don't like her??" Mino ask.
" I..."
" Don't answer with your head Lisa yahh, ask your heart. "
" Those two didn't work well together, so you have to figure out yourself. Choose what your head think or what your heart want." He spoke.
Lisa lost in her thought after what Mino said.
" Does Jisoo know about this?? That story and that you come here everyday??" He getting up.
" No.. she's the closest person to me but seems like I couldn't break it to her"
" I guess I'm still a good listener than that loser huh??" He joke, picking up his bag.
" I'm going now. Don't forget to turn off the light. The last time you leave it on. My electric bill was insane you shithead." He joke.
"Good luck buddy" he pat her shoulder and walk away.
" Mino!!" Lisa call.
He turn around.
" Thank you."
He smile and nods.
" going now. Bye "
Lisa smile and gather her things to leave too.

" Excuse me!!" A voice call out.
Chaeyoung look up from her book.
" I'm sorry but I think we have to close now." A Liberian informed.
" ahhhh" she look at her watch.
" I'm sorry, I lost a track of time" she bow and gather her book.
" You can keep the book with you, if you still wanna read it" a lady offer with a smile.
" Really?" Chaeyoung eyes bright up.
" Yeah. Usually we are not allow to do it but seems like you are so engage with it."
" Thank you. I'm sorry for trouble you"
" It's okay"
Chaeyoung bow and carry tons of book on her way home. She keep her walk steady by took a slowly step, not wanting to drop it.
" Why am I bother to get it home when I can come back to read it tomorrow " she mumble to herself.
" Right!!! I wonder why too"
Chaeyoung suddenly feel someone had taken a few books from her, she look over.
" Uhhh? Lisa??" She shocked.
" What's with your expression??? It's as if you see a ghost but touched because a beautiful woman show up??"
" Let's go out.." Lisa said.
" I can't. I need to review on final.." chaeyoung trying to resist.
" then.. let's study at my house." Lisa suggest.
" No.. I'm going to do it alone.."
Lisa sighs and rub her forehead.
" if you are going to be like this, I'm going to ripped all these books out" Lisa threaten.
" yahh.. that's really petty" chaeyoung frowned hard.
" Chaeyoung ahh..."
" waee??" Chaeyoung look down.
" Please like me..." Lisa said.
Chaeyoung widen her eyes as she look up to see Lisa expressive eyes.
Lisa blinks, trying to ease the awkwardness.
" In this state, do you really think you can study? I don't think you can" she took a step closer.
" Stay with me today " Lisa said in her low voice while offer chaeyoung a hand.
Chaeyoung didn't say anything, she keep looking at Lisa's hand.
" You know what will happens to us if things go wrong right? "
" Will that be okay for you?" She ask biting her lip.
" Why does that matter??" Lisa said without hesitation.
Lisa listen to what Mino told her and she did think over it. Her head might think that it's matter but if she doesn't do it now, her heart would be bursts.
She nods to her hand as chaeyoung didn't take her hand yet.
To be honest, chaeyoung is still scared and shocked. She doesn't know that Lisa likes her too and she wasn't ready for that.
In frustrated, Lisa drop all the books and pull chaeyoung into a tight hug. A blonde slowly tighten her hand around Lisa's waist. She melt into Lisa's strong arms and a beautiful scent. It's still feel unreal to her. These past few days lisa had been avoided her but now she is in her arms, in the name of her soon to be girlfriend.
