♫ Music Playing: Love, This by LAS
It's the first day of getting back to the school of the students. Jennie is wearing her school uniform as she stands in the parking lot. Waiting for someone who hasn't arrived yet.
Her father drives her to school which Jennie feels grateful for. She won't need to ride to her best friend's big bike. Sometimes it scared her because Jisoo was way too fast as if he didn't have someone who ride on his back.
As Jennie looks at the parking lot. She saw a familiar masculine back and the height of a basketball player.
"Hey, Ji!" Jennie called her best friend out loud, arriving at school with his black big bike BMW S1000RR.
Jisoo looks at Jennie from head to toe. The uniform is really good for you. He smirks to himself hiding on the helmet he's wearing.
"Loving what you see?" Jennie turns around for Jisoo.
"No," Jisoo answered as he removed his helmet.
A group of girls walks past Jennie they greet Jisoo with a wave and smile. Jisoo returns the gesture with his charming smile that makes the girl blush. And run to the campus together being always shy because Jisoo always recognized them.
"Stop doing that!" Jennie said annoyed looking at Jisoo with her piercing cat eyes.
"What?" Jisoo asked as he took his bag from the back of his big bike unlocking it from its safety box.
"Giving them that smile of you. They'll think you are interested in them." Jennie lectures her best friend who just smiles at her statement.
"I was just being friendly, Jen." Jisoo puts his bag on his left shoulder as he stands to the front of his annoyed best friend crossing his arm above his chest, "Let's go?"
"Whatever." Jennie walk away from Jisoo feeling more annoyed. She hates it when girls think Jisoo is interested in them. They always misunderstood Jisoo's kindness and charming smile.
Jisoo runs to Jennie's side as he laughs.
"Stop laughing it's not funny." Jennie side-eyed her best friend rolling her eyes at him.
"But it is funny. You acting like a kid who took her lollipop away." Jisoo said smiling to his annoyed best friend.
"Yeah, sure. That's why girls always fight because you keep giving them with your charming smile and kindness which makes them misunderstood." Jennie said irritation could be seen on her face she had enough of girls fighting in their school because of Jisoo.
"It's not my fault they're falling for it. I. WAS. JUST. BEING. FRIENDLY. That's it. Nothing more nothing less." Jisoo said giving Jennie a smirk, "I'm here. I'll pick you up later for a ride," he said stopping in front of his classroom door and looking at Jennie raising his eyebrow.
Jennie stops in her tracks and looks at Jisoo's masculine face she's feeling nervous all of a sudden, "Actually- I'm riding with Kai."
Jisoo feels a pang in his chest but hides it giving Jennie a smirk.
"Uhm, he asked me out and I say sure," Jennie explained giving Jisoo a nervous smile. She doesn't know why she's acting like this. Feeling nervous to tell Jisoo when they're just best of friends.
Jisoo whistles, "I see. It's okay. Let me know if you need a ride then. Good luck with your date, Jen." He smiled and nodded at her. He waved his hand and walked inside the room.
"The three-pointers are here!" Jennie heard Liam shout as he saw Jisoo walk inside the room.
Jennie looks at Jisoo's back walking his way to his chair. She's not feeling good about telling this to Jisoo even though he knows she's been so interested in Kai that's why she joined the cheerleaders in football rather than basketball. It was supposed to be fine but it wasn't. She feels the heaviness of the atmosphere between them.
"Hey, sexy pussy!" Rosie slaps Jennie's butt.
Jennie got surprised, "What the fuck, Rosie! I thought- "
"I'm someone else?" Rosie laughed as she crossed her arms over her chest, "Hey baby!" She calls to Liam by waving her hands who is giving Jisoo a brother hug.
Liam pulls away from Jisoo as he makes his way to Rosie. Lifting her and giving her a quick kiss on her lips.
"Hey, baby! I miss you." Liam said as he put Rosie down.
Jennie glared at them and crossed her arms as she looked at the two being lovey-dovey.
"Oh, don't be so bitter. Didn't Kai ask you out? In months you'll be like this too." Rosie said as her arms were around Liam's neck.
"You have been checking this football player ever since, Jen. Good for you!" Liam said as he looked at Jennie and winked at her.
Jennie rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "And how did you know that?"
"Oh," Liam laughed, "Jisoo told me when I hugged him," he explained making Jennie look at Jisoo inside the room.
Jisoo is talking to one of his teammates in basketball, Seulgi, his best buddy. Both are laughing about something she can't hear. Seulgi keeps whispering to Jisoo's ears.
"Whatever. Let's go, Rosie!" Jennie walks away from Jisoo's room. She's more annoyed and looks like Jisoo doesn't care if she dated Kai at all.
"I'll see you later, baby!" Rosie pulled away from Liam gave him a quick pick again on his lips and ran to Jennie's side.
👣
Jisoo looks at Jennie's back at the wall glass of their room. He can sense Jennie being annoyed again for whatever reason it could be. She's supposed to be happy she'll date her elementary crush.
"So- that's when I got this bruised. Your half-sister had a good slap in my face." Seulgi said explaining where he gets his bruised in his face.
Jisoo's older half-sister is Bae Irene. Seulgi had been crushing his half-sister since elementary but Irene is not into basketball players as she thinks they'll love to play around with girls' feelings. And when Irene breaks Seulgi's heart by turning down his court Seulgi can't stop annoying Irene in every way he has a chance.
"You should stop pestering her, Seul. You'll get hurt more." Jisoo suggested he shake his head to Seulgi.
"How can I do that? That's the only thing I can make myself close to her." Seulgi said leaning his hands on Jisoo's desk as he looked at the ceiling, "Should I change house with you?"
Jisoo laughs at Seulgi's suggestion. He can't understand this man. His half-sister told him already she didn't want to be with him. And yet here he is trying to annoy her just to make his half-sister develop feelings for him in a different way.
"Just move on bro. There are a lot of girls who are into you here and other Universities. If you ask one of them they'll say yes for sure." Jisoo shrugged suggesting the easiest way he won't be like him giving so much hope for a girl who wouldn't like him back.
"Easy for you to say, bro. I'm in love with your half-sister. I can't just choose anyone it will be different." Seulgi defended his feelings. He sighed and lay down his body on Jisoo's table.
Jisoo knows it will not be easy but at least try. For goodness sake, he knows what love is but, friendship is more important than that.
"Go back to your chair. The professor is here." Jisoo said making Seulgi shooed away.
"Move on, Kang!" Liam shouted from his chair as he laughed at Seulgi with his deep voice.
Seulgi gave Liam a dirty finger as he walked away from Jisoo's table and seated in his chair.
"Thank you, Seul. I'm good." Liam shrugged as he laughed at Seulgi who was glaring at him, "He's a funny man."
Jisoo shakes his head, "Stop it, man. You know his hopeless romantic. Not like you."
Lisa laughs more but stop when the professor enters the room and a new student follows him.
"Good morning, class! Welcome back to school!" He announced as he put the things that he carried on the table.
All students look in front of the professor as all the whispering stops.
"We have a new student here. Please welcome her with hospitality." Professor Dong said. "Introduce yourself, Miss Hong."
"Good morning everyone!" The girl bowed as she greeted the class, "I'm Hong Soojoo a transfer student from Busan University."
"Okay, thank you, Miss Hong. Please sit next to Mister Kim." Professor Dong points his finger beside Jisoo's chair.
Soojoo walks to Jisoo's as she takes a seat beside him.
"Hi," Jisoo greeted Soojoo as he gave his hand to him for a handshake.
Soojoo shakes his hand and Jisoo introduces himself.
"I'm Kim Jisoo. Captain of the basketball team." Jisoo gave Soojoo a charming smile.
Soojoo shrugged and pulled away her hand from Jisoo. "Hi," she answered shortly.
Liam kicked Jisoo's chair raising his eyebrows as he smirked at him. Jisoo looked at him and mouthed what.
"Nothing. You guys look good," Liam whispers to Jisoo as Professor Dong is facing the students with his back.
"Stop it, Liam," Jisoo warned making Liam giggle.
👣
"Bye, Kim. See you later!" Rosie said walking away from Jennie but stopped when Jennie suddenly asked her.
"Who is that?" Jennie asks looking at Jisoo's back in his BMW big bike with a girl.
"Oh, a new student. Liam told me that's their new classmate." Rosie said as she checked her new polished nails blowing on it, "They look good. Maybe Jisoo gave his charming smile again."
They look at Jisoo's masculine back helping Soojoo to put on his other helmet which Jennie uses when she's riding with him at home.
"I don't like what I'm seeing," Jennie said out loud.
"Why not?" Rosie looks at her friend, "They said she's a rich girl with honors from Busan University."
"And so? I am too." Jennie said getting annoyed again with her best friend.
"Kim, Jisoo would never replace you as his childhood best friend. Even if he got himself a girlfriend I don't doubt he will." Rosie said making Jennie feel at ease holding her arms just to comfort her. Sometimes she thinks they have feelings for each other. It's so different the way they protect each other. Especially Jennie she hates to see girls being so near to Jisoo and touchy.
"Hey, Jennie!" Kai walks to them, "Ready for our date?"
The football player interrupted their moment. Jennie is still looking at her best friend's back and the new student. Her attention is on the two she doesn't mind that Kai is already in front of her.
"Jen?" Kai called out for Jennie's attention.
Jennie looks at Kai surprised he's already in front of him. "I'm sorry," She blinked her eyes many times just to make it focus on Kai.
"Who are you gossiping?" Kai laughs turning around to look where Jennie and Rosie looking but Jennie stops him.
"It's nothing. We should go." Jennie linked her arms to him.
"Okay, babe. I'll see you later. Bye! Good luck with your date." Rosie winked at Jennie as she waved.
Liam arrives in front of Rosie with his Yamaha YZF R1. Rosie took the helmet to Liam as he helped her to sit at his back.
"Bye, Jen!" Liam waved his hand to Jennie. He drives away from her with Rosie waving at her.
Kai guides Jennie to his car Jennie still holding his arm. Jennie looks at Jisoo who is helping the transfer student to sit in the back of his big bike.
Jennie doesn't feel good about this. Jealousy is getting into her system she feels bitter really bitter she might vomit. Seeing a new girl riding Jisoo's big bike and not her makes her want to smack the helmet to the two. But she wouldn't do that it's too childish just thinking of it.
Fuck bitch! Although she has no right to curse at the new girl no one will stop her from doing so in her mind.
Kai opens the door of his car as he helps Jennie to sit in the passenger seat. Jennie buckles her seatbelt as she looks to see Jisoo riding away with the new transfer girl.
The girl is hugging Jisoo and leaning into his masculine shoulder. Which makes Jennie feel a pang in her chest like it shattered in Kai's car.
Maybe I'm only feeling this way because I'm scared of being replaced as his childhood best friend. That's right. Jennie convinced herself not minding her once telling her otherwise.
You know it's not, Jennie. Don't fool yourself! Jennie's concy said.
