Diana,
You're never going to believe what happened. I met this cute girl from school, well we weren't close at first until that moment happened while I was taking a break from a jog at the elementary school playground. It turns out to be her little sister's school! You're going to love her, if only you're here.
I'll write you another letter soon.
Love,
Lisa
Lisa clicked her pen, she placed the letter inside her drawer with the rest before she stormed out of the room. Instead of wearing her school's winter uniform, Lisa decided to get rid of the school's suit and she settled on her white buttoned down blouse, a school vest and a skirt. The thai was even contemplating on hiding her face by putting on her glasses, but recalling Jennie's words, she finally got rid of them when she placed them down on the night stand.
"Lisa, you're going to be late!" Her aunt called, "I'm coming!" The thai went downstairs to their restaurant and there she saw her aunt behind the cash register. "Wow?" Dara was startled when she saw her niece strutted out of the store. "I'll see you later, auntie! Love you." Lisa took her lunch, placing it inside her bag.
"Puberty." The cook said, "Yep, I guess puberty. I better tell this to Chitthip."
"So wait... we're assigned to sell Onigiris and shit?" Seulgi questioned, Jennie can only nod. "Each class are going to have their own designated tent and everyone will take turns. The class president will be the one who will divide the class into groups." Jennie answered, just as the student council president is discussing their plans for the college fair, Lisa's already in the hallway, walking in a steady pace while the students are in awe of her.
Most of them are not even aware that she's Lisa Manoban. Some of them thought that she's a transferred student, others also assume she's from a foreign country. "So what about the band? Who is it going to be?" Mina asked.
"We're still figuring that out, but we'll announce it soon." Jennie curled her lips, clicking her pen out of stress. Lisa pushed the door of the classroom, capturing everyone's attention, especially Jennie. It resulted them to drop their jaw. "Uhm... good morning." Lisa smiled sheepishly to Jennie, "Manoban, good morning." Jennie stuttered, even though she's the one responsible for her hair, she didn't expect that Lisa would actually look even better in her normal uniform.
"Manoban!?" Irene raised her voice, "That's Manoban!?" the rest followed, totally shock. "I told you, she's hot." Jisoo nudged Chaeyoung, who is actually speechless the whole time.
So much for being called as the girl from The Grudge, Jisoo is finally taking back the words she spewed.
"I'll see you later?" Jennie chuckled, realizing that she have to go to the student council room.
"Of course, good luck." Lisa smiled again, watching the brunette snatch Chaeyoung off from Jisoo's grasp before leaving the classroom. "Yo, Manoban." Kai called, "Yes?" Lisa placed her bag down on the table.
"May I have a word?"
"Sure."

"I can see why you guys are close, she's really pretty." Irene said, taking a seat across from Jennie and Chaeyoung. She's also one of the student council officers. "I really thought she's that otaku type y'know." Irene added, "Is she dating someone? Maybe she's trying to impress someone, she really pulled off that Princess Diary." Irene continue to simp while Jennie can only feel a tinge of jealousy and annoyance to the older girl.
"She's single." Jennie set her pen down, "And no, she's not trying to impress, I suggested it so she made me cut her hair."
"You cut her hair? You guys always have your own little world in the campus, you protect her ass from Shin... Are you guys dating or what?"
"We're not...dating."
"If that's the case, I'll ask her out-"
"No." Jennie snapped.
"What do you mean no?"
"I won't allow you to have her!"
The brunette stood up from her seat, "Girl, I am just joking around. Why you have to act so intense as if you own her?" Irene huffed, "Jennie, are you okay?" Chaeng asked, worried.
"I'm fine." Jennie answered bleakly, taking a seat again. "Sorry." She added.
"Okay..."

"Kim Jongin, do you have a crush on our president?" Lisa asked innocently which made Kai stammer just as he was about to ask Lisa the same thing. "Wha- I mean... S-so what if I do!?" He raised his voice, but in the middle of the sentence he cracked. "Wait, so you do have a crush on her?" Lisa covered her mouth.
"Yeah, I was about to ask you the same thing? Are you guys dating or what?" Kai said which this surprised the thai even more. "No no no! We're not dating!" Lisa shook her head, "She's too good for me, I can never date her." She added.
"So you guys are just..."
"No, we're just friends! I'm just surprised that she's hanging out with me, but really, we're just friends!" Lisa gulped. "I'm sorry if it seems like we are dating..." The thai added.
"That's... well... I am sorry if I came off like I'm going to beat you." Kai exhaled, he leaned against the railing as he admire the city from the school's balcony. "It's okay...Are you going to confess to her by the way?" Lisa asked, "I'm finding the right time, maybe you can help me out?" Kai pouted, which made Lisa pat his back. "Kim Jennie's busy these days, maybe I'll try to push her to talk to you." Lisa suggested, "Thanks man, I really thought you're that girl who is weird, gloomy, and an otaku. I guess I was wrong." Kai said, he's actually in awe of Lisa's pretty face. "You got them all spot on, except for the otaku part." The thai laughed.
"Glad to know that, weirdo." Kai pat the Thai's head, "Nice piercings by the way, it suits you." He added before he started to walk away from Lisa, leaving her alone in the hallway.
"Thanks." Lisa uttered, she thought that if Jennie and Kai started dating, she'll be on her way. Lisa can only exude a sigh.
"Guess I can't hang with her that much."
Lunch time, Jennie finally have the time to take a break from her busy schedule as a student council president. Most of the officers decided to have lunch outside the university while she and Chaeng decided to meet up with their friends at the cafeteria.
They managed to spot Jisoo and Kai from the school's cafeteria just when they saw them near the huge sakura tree, and this time they're sitting with Lisa Manoban who is being surrounded by girls and boys, simping at her. Jennie's surprised to see Kai, Jisoo, and Lisa getting along.
It's a rare sight.
"Seems like Manoban has fans now." Chaeng chuckled, referring to the students checking Lisa out. The blonde Aussie is quite happy for Lisa, but as for Jennie, she's cautious, angry, competitive.
"Yo Jennieyah, Chaengah! How's the preparation?" Jisoo asked, Chaeng can only answer while Jennie scooted closer to Lisa, now glaring at the students who are smiling at her friend. "How was class?" Jennie asked, letting out a smile that it made Kai feel a bit jealous as he eats his lunch.
"It's great! Uhm... you're free later right?" Lisa questioned, she can feel Jongin looking at the two before he left the table quietly.
"Dude, where are you going?" Jisoo asked, while Kai can only give her the look as a signal. "Oh... oh!"
"Soo, what's your lunch? Can I have a bite?" Chaeng asked.
"Sure, whatever."
"Not really, we still have to help the faculty later." The brunette frowned, she abruptly rested her head on Lisa's shoulder, letting out an exasperated sigh after a long day. "Hm... I see." Lisa laughed sheepishly, slightly adjusting from her seat, causing Jennie to adjust as well.
Lisa noticed that Jennie's annoyed by it, but she doesn't want to make it weird for Kai, so the thai tried to keep a distance between them. "Why'd you ask?" The brunette questioned, she started to take a bite of Lisa's fried dumpling that Dara made, using Lisa's fork.
"Well, Kai wants to talk to you..." Lisa answered, "He can talk to me now, what's with all this? Why is he asking you for me?" Jennie swallowed the food while she covers her mouth, "Uhm, he really wants to talk to you alone." Lisa pressed on.
"Like right now."
"God." Jennie stands up, "You're really trying to get rid of me aren't you?" She questioned, the brunette is quite annoyed as ever while Lisa can only heave a heavy sigh, standing up as well. "No, but this is really important. You should talk to him." Lisa grab Jennie's shoulders, and she started to push her outside the cafeteria. "Fine, but after this I need you to look after Ella again. I'm going to be home late again." Jennie exuded a long deep heavy sigh.
"Of course." Lisa stopped by the time she saw Kai at the hallway. He gave Lisa a nod while the thai can only give thumbs up as a sign of good luck.
"Jennie, let's talk."
"Sure, you better make this quick, Jongin."
"Of course."
Lisa can only walk away, disregarding the stares and greetings from her block mates, she silently walk straight back to the cafeteria with her hands closed into a fist.
