As Jongin confessed, Lisa decided to skip her remaining classes. The thai went to the park to where she usually jogs in the afternoon. Lisa thought that once Jennie and Kai started to date, she won't be able to stop Jennie from telling her not to go to her house anymore. The thai can only push her bangs back, taking a seat on an empty bench where she and Diana used to sit at.
Lisa was a bit annoyed when her block mates are simping on her, most of them are the ones who judged her, who bullied her. Now that Lisa thought about it, it makes her feel angry in a way. And the fact that she's going to lose Jennie to Kai made her feel hopeless. But how could she? Kim Jongin is a nice guy, he's respected by everyone. Athletic, handsome, smart, everyone loves him.
He's a perfect guy for Jennie.
"How can a gloomy kid can ever be a perfect match with a popular girl?" Lisa thought.
"Jennie's too good for me."
"Too good..."
"Don't think about it, Lisa. Don't."
🪐🪐🪐
"Okay, then what's next?"
"You can fold it like this." Lisa said, teaching Ella to make a paper boat.
The thai decided to pick Ella up from school right after she just sat on the bench of the park to past some time and ponder about what life has for her, "Then you you fold this, try to open this carefully, and there you have it... a boat." The thai giggled, handing Ella the paper boat that she made.
"That's so cool! This can float on the water right?" The little girl clapped her hands together, " Yep! Now you try it, just repeat what I did." Lisa instructed, "Okay okay, wait..." The thai can only watch while Jennie showed up in the living room. "I'm back!" The brunette said from the doorway, while Lisa and Ella can only greet her back.
"What are you guys doing?" Jennie asked, "Unnie taught me how to make a boat! Look what I made!" Ella jumped, giggling.
"That's a hat..." Lisa frowned, "Oh what the fudge? I'll do it again ugh!" Ella grunted, redoing the folds of Lisa's boat just so she can copy it.
"Manoban, can I have a word with you?" Jennie asked, "Yeah, sure—" Jennie suddenly pull Lisa's wrist as she drag her to the garage of her house, away from Ella.
"I spoke with Jongin." Jennie shut the door behind her.
"Yeah..."
"He told me."
"I see."
"Is it true? You said that I'm too good for you."
"W-what?" Lisa expected something else, she thought that Jennie's going to tell her that she accepted him.
"You told him that I don't mind when I hang out with you, i-is that what you think of me!?" Jennie cracked, Lisa can only pause for a bit, confused to why it's not about Kai.
"Wait, what about Kim Jongin—"
"Kai is NOT important right now!" Jennie cut her off, now on the verge of bursting into tears.
"What?"
"Did you say that?"
"Kim-"
"Did you really say that, Manoban!?" Jennie repeated, this time she's raising her voice.
"Yes, I said that." the thai firmly answered, scratching her nape already nervous, "Is that how you see it?" Jennie asked, "Is that what you think when you come over to my house?" The brunette pressed on.
"It's not like that!" Lisa raised her voice, "It's not that..." The taller girl sighed, clenching her hand into a fist.
"I-It's just what everyone said; I'm all gloomy, a weirdo, a freak. I'm just afraid that you hanging out with me would affect your reputation especially when you defended me yesterday, I never want to give you any trouble."
Is that why you keep on apologizing to me?
Why you try to get rid of me?
"Why?" Is the only word that came out from Jennie's mouth.
"What?"
"Why give a damn about my reputation and to what they'll think of me!? Don't just decide on your own and let it be! I hate it! especially when you tried to get rid of me."
"Kim..."
"Don't ever say such a thing ever. And I don't want you to ever do that again just because you're worried about what they'll think of me." Jennie started to cry, "I'm sorry..." Lisa can only watch the brunette, contemplating whether she can give her a hug or not.
"I'm really sorry—" The taller girl repeated, Jennie suddenly pinned Lisa against the wall, gripping both of Lisa's wrist. "It makes me so..." the brunette gritted her teeth, the thought of it makes her mad, and after a few second, she loosened her grip from Lisa's wrists, suddenly sinking on the floor, breaking down.
"Kim..." This time Lisa stoop down as well, and she finally didn't hesitate to pull her in for a hug.
"I'm sorry." Lisa lowered her voice, and Jennie pushed her back abruptly.
"Eh?"
"Manoban, if you ever stop coming to my house...I'm going to combust." Jennie snapped.
"Who's going to eat the leftovers?"
"I uhm..."
"Who's going to wake me up when I fall asleep while we're watching a movie?" The brunette gritted her teeth, her swollen eyes twitching, the sight of her mad scares Lisa.
"Who's going to play with Ella!?"
"Who's going to help me wash the dishes!?"
"I'm not going anywhere, I promise." Lisa stuttered and Jennie suddenly raised her pinky finger.
"Promise?"
"I promise."
And with that, Jennie is finally calm again. The brunette rests her head on Lisa's shoulder as the latter still hug her.
"About Jongin..." Jennie's voice was muffled by Lisa's white blouse, but the thai can hear her well. "I turned him down." Jennie said.
"Why?"
"I rejected him."
"But he's a nice guy?"
Lisa then felt Jennie's arms now snaking around her waist, hugging her back. "Do you like Kai or something?" Jennie asked, "You guys should be together then." Jennie jokingly added.
"What? I don't think that I'd look good with Kai." Lisa innocently answered.
"That's your point!?"
The next morning, Kai spotted Lisa on the hallway and he immediately confronted her. "Good morning, Manoban." Kai cracked, his eyes are swollen red. His hair is a mess. His heart is broken into two.
"Yesterday, I-" Kai bursts into tears.
"Kim Jongin! I uhm... You don't have to say it man! It's okay!" Lisa widened her eyes by the sight of him. "Y-you're a great friend." He suddenly hugged Lisa, crying even harder this time.
"Friend?" Lisa asked. "That fast?" The outcast thought.
"Yeesh, what's wrong?" Irene asked, curious to what had happened, while Jennie just stood next to her, nonchalant. They're actually right behind the two this whole time.
"No idea." The president answered.
"Maybe someone confessed." Jennie added.
🪐🪐🪐
"Kai's really not handling it well." Jisoo sighed, "So does Deb." Irene snorted, "God, Jennie's out here collecting boys and gays. when will I ever get one?" She added.
"Aren't you scared of commitment?" Jisoo pointed it out, "Fuck you." Joohyun rolled her eyes, "Lower your voice." The librarian hushed the two. The only reason why they're in the library is because it is one of the places in the university that has an aircon and a wifi that can easily be hacked by those techy students, other than that, is the computer lab, which is always locked.
Chaeng however is sitting next to Jisoo, reading an Elle magazine and also checking those female models out. "Sexy..." Roseanne muttered, "God, you're such a lesbian, Chaengah." Irene laughed.
"It takes one to know one." Roseanne smirked.
"I'm not gay." Irene huffed, "Whatever you say." Roseanne smirked, "Am I missing something?" Jisoo asked, feeling a little bit out of place. "No, you're not." Irene glared, making Chaeng laugh to taunt her.
"Shh! Lower your voice!"
"Sorry."
On the other table, Jennie's busy budgeting the expenses for the preparation of the event. She didn't even have the time to waste, ignoring the conversation from the other table about Irene's ex fling, Seulgi, next to Jennie is Lisa who is just doodling different sizes of Saturn on Jennie's notebook. "I'm glad you're not doodling dicks." The brunette finally spoke for the first time in awhile.
"I saw a lot of them from the previous pages." Lisa chuckled lightly, "Jisoo and Chaeng drew them." Jennie sighed, "And the tictac-toe and FLAMES are from Taehyung, Irene, and Kai." she added. "I'm shocked that you let people draw on your notebook." Lisa said, and Jennie can only organize the papers. "I only get mad when it's necessary." Jennie smiled, like she's giving Lisa a warning, especially to what happened yesterday.
"You literally got mad at me when I asked about Manoban-" Irene joined in but Jennie was quick enough to react when she gave her a deadly glare. "What?" Lisa asked, "Ignore her, Manoban." Jennie instructed.
"Okay?"
"You really love Saturn." Jennie rests her head on Lisa's left shoulder, now changing the topic, Jennie noticed her notebook's filled with her friend's doodles. "It's just a reminder to myself that I'll get there, eventually." The thai said, "I see." Jennie realized that Lisa is still mourning from the loss of her best friend. "If I'm a tattoo artist, what will you let me draw?" Jennie asked, "Definitely not dicks." Lisa joked, "Idiot." Jennie glared, she took Lisa's left arm before she placed it on the table. Lisa can only let Jennie roll up sleeve of her uniform.
Jennie hums, she grab a pen and the brunette started to draw. "What are you drawing?" Lisa asked, "Don't look." Jennie glared, and thai can only do as she's told.
"It tickles."
"Shush."
"Are you done?"
"No."
Jennie counted the number of lines before she let Lisa check her doodle out. "I'm done." Jennie exuded a gummy smile, proud of her work, the taller girl saw a doodle of a small sun on her arm.
"It's different from Ur—anus." Jennie joked.
"You mean Saturn?" Lisa chuckled lightly, "Whatever." Jennie rolled her eyes, "So tell me Miss Kim, what's the meaning behind the sun?" Lisa asked, "Well... the sun is hot, it illuminates, it energizes us, the sun make us feel our best and brightest." Jennie blushed. "Even though the Sun can be annoying because of the heat." The brunette mumbled.
"You think I'm hot?"
"No! I mean yes? In a way—" Jennie's already flustered, she's now red as a tomato, "Lower your voice!" The librarian hushed them.
"What I'm saying is," Jennie rolled her eyes out of annoyance, "Sun is a symbol of strength, light, and energy." Jennie started to doodle again on Lisa's arm, "It's an open interpretation, you can interpret it as yourself surrounded by darkness, yet you're still illuminating despite of it all." Jennie said, and she's finally done doodling the second one.
"That's nice." Lisa smiled, "But what's the second one?" Lisa asked, curious to what Jennie drew again.
"Oh, it's just a dick." Jennie let out a gummy smile, she removed her hand from covering the second one, revealing it to be a small poorly drawn phallus.
"The things I let you do to me."
