"A dream of the past? " one of jennies close friend asked as they sit aeound the feline eyed girls table
"Yeah, the type of dream where you fully relieved a moment from earlier in your life" she answered
"I had a few dreams that involved pieces of my past... " Jennie continues
"Yeah. Like going to a familiar place or meeting an old friend... I can't exactly say I've ever had a dream where I relieved something exactly from memory. "
She finished softly then she saw her bestfriend staring at her blatantly
"How about you Rose? " she asked her friend
"Well I haven't either, maybe this is happening because you keep remembering that moment while you're awake Jenduek"
"Remembering it?? "
Jennie ask then waits for Rosé to exain further
"Yeah, you're not dreaming of the past perse, but you're dreaming of the moments you want to relieve when you are awake"
Rosé trued to explain
"wow, I don't think I can wrap my head around that " the forth person on their small circle says as she tried to look back in foeth to Je. Ie and Rosé
"You, might be right" Jennie mumbled softly while she look somehow far away
............................
"Lisa-yaaah, I just finished the script" jisoo says as she clutched the stack of paper in in hands
"Yeah, then lets go and let me see it! " Lisa argued to the stubborn girl in front of her
"B-but.. "Jisoo still played tugged of war to tge blonde girl,
Lisa sighed and let go of the paper.
"When you finished your book you didn't mind when I read it right? "
Lisa asked exasperatedly to the brunette
"Yeah, but it's different lisa-yah! " jisoo retorted
"How is it different huh!? " lisa answered then she seat on the chait infrobt of jisoo
""This is my first time writing scripts! so it might suck, and I feel unsure of the ending," Jisoo says daubting herself
"I'm not sure how I feel about the ending I chose" jisoo continues to explained as she saw the confused but lax look of the blonde
"Really? , then we should asked everyone in ths student council to give some feedback, don't you think unnie? " Lisa asked cheerfully, then she grabbed the script from the shorter girl
"YAHHH!! I'll do just that b-but!" Jisoo tried to agrue again while trying to reach the manuscripts
But due to the big difference in their height Jisoo was like a child reaching and jumping to reach the stack of paper
"Alright alright I'll go make copies to give everyone else. " Lisa said then run and jisoo can't do anything, she just pout then waved off to the energetic blonde.
..............
"Jennie unnie! " lisa called out the brunette as she saw the older girl walking in the hallway
"I'm glad I found you before you left! " Lisa jogged to Jennie
"Lisa-yan, what's up? "Jennie greeted reluctantly
"The script for the stage show is finished! " Lisa beamed at the shorter girl infront
"Really! jennie can't stop the grin forming in her face
"Well technically its just the first draft" lisa said enthusiastically with the same relax smile that the girl in front of her.
Jennie moved closer to the blonde to have a peek to the script, but Lisa chaught herself staring at the brunette as Jennie scanned the script lisa was holding.
The height difference was just right for the blonde to stare at the brunette undisturbed, Lisa can study jennie up-close, the long eyelashes, the feline eyes, her small lips. Her scent...
"wait!"
"What am I thinking! " Lisa scolded herself
Then she moved farther to the brunette to have some space between them.
The action was not unbeknownst to the feline eyed girl, so she just stared at the blonde as if deciphering what's running through Lisa's mind
"Uhmm its really hot huh," lisa tried to defuse the growing tension starting to build with the way Jennie is staring right through her
Jennie just watched as lisa make an excuse
"Uhm actually I have some more copies, could you give one to Roseanne?" Lisa finally said as she composed herself then she handed two copies to jennie
"So, I gotta go. im walking home with my friends today, bye" Lisa added as she saw that Jennie is still watching her, then she strolled away leaving the brunette without looking back
Jennie just waved at the blondes retriting back,
Passers-by might see the student council waving with her poster perfect smile but it doesnt reach her eyes.
"Okey then see you tomorrow for stdent council" jennie said to no one in particular because Lisa is already too far for the blonde to hear her
"Did she just avoided me?" Jennie mumbled to herself as she watch lisa walked further and further from her
"I guess I took things a little to far last time" jennie think to herself
"jen"
T
he always composed president remember her alone time with the blonde and heat slowly creep out from her ears then she slowly shake her head to make the forming knot in her stomach disappear
"I need to calm down, so lisa wont hate me" jennie closed her eyes and have a deep breath
.......................
"Jisoo said that she was writing the characters to fit the actors." Lisa mumbled as she read thru the scripts
"The main character in the story is a girl who is suffering from amnesia. "
The story begins at the hospital where she ia being treated
During her stay she's visited by her lover, a family member and a friend
As they talk about their memories and the time they've spent with her, she gets a completely different impressions of herself fron each one of them,
With no sign of her memory coming back, she faces a serious problem. Although she wants to return to the person she once was, she has no idea which of the people who talked to her knows the "real" her"
Jennie was engrossed in reading the script written by one of Lisa's friend.
"Who should I become in order to continue living my life?"
jennie read the line to no one in particular
"I have to become one of them or else... I'll have nothing left"
she continued as she stared at the family picture she had with her older sister
...........
"Pran! I'm closing up the store can you take care of the front?
"Yeah yeah sure"
"Jisoo is really amazing, she wrote all of that without even knowing much about Jennie unnie,"
lisa said to herself as she remembers the plot of the sstory Jisoo have written for the play
"Altough the main character's isnt that simmilar to jennie unnie, I wonder how she reacts when she finished reading it"
Lisa thinks to herself whil she gazed at the pinkish sky as the sun slowly descends to the horizon
........
"Kim Jisoo, sure is scary,"
S
mall smile slowly graced the feline eyed brunette.
"
" the role of an empty girl, meant for me huh...."
Jennie softly mumbled as she stared at the script
.....................
"Feel free to write down your wishes and hang it on the tree"
"Good morning Jennie unnie " lisa greeted as she saw Jennie writing down something in front of the student council project
"Do you think everyone will write their wishes for the festival?
Lisa asked as she saw a few paper hanging on the bamboo shoots
"Well everyone could have something they kind of hope to achieve or have right? "
jennie sats then smiled at the blonde
"You should write something to hang on it too" Jennie smiled as she encourage the blonde. Then hand a small paper to the other girl
"Okay, uhm unnie what did you write?" Lisa asked as she picks up the paper
" do you even need to asked, just look" jennie said then she showed lisa the paper
"I wish for the student council stage show to be a sucess"
Lisa read the pepar Jennie showed her
"What is you wish lisa-yah?" Jennie asked more seriously
"Uhmmm maybe I should wish for good grade, on the upcoming math test! " the blone girl cringe as she remember the upcoming exam
"Why waste your wish on that, when I can just tutor you again? " Jennie said in a matter of fact
Then she remembered her encounter with the blonde the other day. when Lisa avoided her when the blonde handed the scripts
"I-I mean only if you don't mind having me as your tutor again" jennie tried to salvage the situation, as she watch nervously while lisa seems to be having a deep thought.
"Hmmm, okay i think ill take you up on that offer" lisa answered with a shrug
Jennie cant help but give of her famous gummy smile to the blonde
"We should get going" the bruntte said enthusiastically looking forward to their tutoring session.
"Yeah, see you later unnie" lIsa answered
..........
Im assuming you all took some time to look over the script" Jennie starts up their agenda for the student council
"Today we're going to discuss it asked jisoo-yah to join us" The president introduced the writer of the script
" thanks for having me" Jisoo says nervously
"Jisoo yah you wrote all the characters with one of us in mind to play them right?" Jennie tried to confirm her assumption to the writer
"Yeah" Jisoo answered immediately
"Although I noticed you didnt write any of our names in the scripts"
Jennie asked again
"Uhmm, I wanted you to read it first without knowing your roles."
Jisoo tried to explain
"Okay, let me just check with you then" jennie said then give a friendly smile to the nervous writer
""For the main character, the girl who has amnesia, you must have meant her to be played by me, right?"
Jennie asked
"Right" Jisoo saus then nods her head cutely
"Which means Lisa yah, is probably the nurse who's in charge of her care," jennie continues
"Yaaas! A minor role" lisa approved enthusiastically to her friend
"The protagonist younger brother is taehyung, and her classmate must be Irene?"
Jennie continued her monologue
"Yeah you're right"
jisoo agreed again
"That leaves for the role of the girls lover,
Rosé must be it right? "
Jennie asked again but this time more calmly as she watch her bestfriend's reaction
"Yeah" jisoo answered softly " now more self consciously
"Well anyone can tell from the way it was written that her lover was a girl " Lisa says in no one in particular.
Then she steal glances at the other blonde
"Huh? Girls dating other girls?! " Irene asked shocked
"Irene unnie didn't read it at all" taehyung mumbled soflty that resulted to a smack on the. Back of his head from Irene
"Well, I thought the person who is closest with jennie would be the best option and you know, some people around school already joke about how the two of them are like a married couple"
jisoo tried to defend her choice in the characters narratives
"So the easiest way is for me to imagine Roseanne in that role" jisoo continue her reasoning
"Uhmm is that a problem? " jisoo asked at looked directly at Rose who is starting to look a bit red
Everyones attention is now on Rose but the blonde seems to have a hard time finding her voice.
It is very often for the vice president to be slacked jaw gapping like a fish unable to speak her mind
"Well, I think it's a great idea! " irene butts in to remove Rose from the spotlight.
This caused for one Roseanne to breath again. She almost died at that moment
"Hardly anybody would Come see the show if a freshman like taehyung played that role right,? Irene tried to make her point across the group
"Yeah, that's for sure"
lisa giggled at the thought of Jennie and Taehyung in a lovey dovey scene
"Jen, what do you think? " Rose asked jennie. When the vice president finally recovered from her previous shock
now the spotlight returned to jennie and Everyone was waiting for her say on all of the issue
Taehyung cover his face but his eyes is still showing as he watch Lisa, Rosé and Jennie
"Well, I'm fine with it, I also think Chaeng is the best fit for the role" jennie answered then showed her gummy smile to her bestfriend.
"If that's what you think then I'm all for it," rose answered with finality as she steal glances to jisoo who is smiling triumphantly in front of her
"But, jisoo, really doesn't know anything right? "
R
ose watch the writer closely as if tryign to read the smaller brunettes mind
"Hehehe, is there gonna be a kissing scene! " Irene asked excitedly, The question broke Rose feom her intense glare at the writer
"No" Rose and Jisoo answered automatically
"Huh? Let's add one!" Irene asked with a glint in her eye
"We should add one! Irene tried again
"No we won't " Rose answered again now much more firmer
"Sorry guys to interrupt your meeting"
"Ms. Park! " the student greeted in shock as the advicer appear beside the table
"About your earlier request, I think we'll be able to work it out. "
"Really! " jennie says with a lot of 3enthusiasm
"Thank you very much, Ms Park"
"Huh? What are you talking about Jennie yah? " Irene asked confused
Jennie faced her Co members then give them her famous gummy smile
"Well, actually, those any of you interested in doing a study camp for the summer break? " the Stu. Co President asked playfully
"A study camp during the break? " lisa softly mumble then she looked around to Gauge the reaction of everybody else
"Yeaaah! I'm in" Irene answered then she hold teahyungs ear,
"Right tae! " she continued
"Yeah yeah what ever" Taehyung says lowly as he craddle his reddish ear
"But where are we going to stay? " taehyung asked as he tried to calm down irene
"Our school have Lodge for study camps. I thought we'd stay 2 nights there rehearsing for the show" the President tried to explain
"Once the second semester starts , other clubs and classes will have their own rehearsals to do, " Rose continued to explain
" so we discuss taking some time to do ours over the summer break"
"Are you in? " jennie asked again with her gumny smile
"I know you're asking us... But, we really don't have a choice do we? "
lisa said to herself then she exhaled as she stares at the cat eyed girl smiling in front of them
............
""The stage show is finally starting to take shape," lisa tried to start a conversation as she stares at the notes in front of her
Jennie was scanning her own notes as she played around the fork in her other hand,
"It is, thanks for all of our hardwork, lisa-yah I really liked this place, " jennie said then she take a mouthfull of the mini doughnut
lisa just side glanced at the smiling brunette
"I was a little surprised that the main character's love interest was a girl.
"Well that threw me of the loop as well, "
"But rose really suits the role , if taehyung did it we'll get buried in complaints! " Lisa said then giggled a little
"You don't have any complaint have you? " Jennie coax and waits to see some reaction from Lisa with the thought of her and Rose as lovers
"" nope none at all" Lisa answered with a smile then she focused on her notes once again.
"I figured as much" Jennie replied then she pat Lisa on the hair which cause for the blonde's bangs to be misplaced"
Lisa just pout at Jennie then fixed her precious bangs as she watch Jennie giggled childishly beside her
"She's really childish at times "
Lisa says in her mind as she stares at the brunette sitting beside her.
The blonde didnt notice that she is slowly starting to have this calm smile plastered on her face
As Jennie tried to steal a glance at the blode, but then she caught Lisa starring at her with this look in her eyes.
This made the feline eyed girl to squint as if deciphering the emotion but when she saw the calm smile that Lisa beamed her way
she just shows her precious gummy smile to the younger girl beside her.
Then the famous gummy smile slowly turned to a mischievous one
"what? Picture might last longer lili" Jennie asked the younger girl
Then Lisa returned to her notes to dodge the older girls teasing
After a few moments of silence.
Lisas sighed
" is there any problem Lisa yah? " Jennie faced the blonde worriedly then she tried to reach for the tallee girls head
But Lisa's mext statement srop the cat eyed girl from her gesture
"Well actually what im more worried about is the study camp"
Lisa says as a matter of fact, then she eyed Jennie accusingly
But the blonde have rhis playfull glint ib her hazel brown eyes
"im afraid a certain someone might make things weird"
Lisa continued her monologue that seems to take the brunette into a blabbing mess.
"wh-what I-I wont do anything!"
Jennie exclaimed indignantly as she pout childishly at Lisa
"even though we'll be together for three whole days and two nights?"
Lisa tried to teas her unnie more but the blonde srill have this straight face
"we will also be sleeping in the same room together, nini"
Lisa said slowly and in a much more playfull tone.
The last concern that Lisa throw at Jennie made the smaller girls ear heat up.
This statement left Jennie slacked jaw
"Keep you head out of the gathwr Kim!"
Jennie tried to calm her short-circuiting brain
"I promise i wont do anything! "
Jennie said in her cute voice as she collects herself
" and besides what exactly can I do with Rose and Irene keeping an eye on us? "
Jennie tried to reason out much more to hwrself than to the blonde.
The thaught made Jennie's pout more prominent
" so you can hold yourself back?"
Lisa asked the brunette much more seriously as she looked straight at Jennie
"I'll learn how to" Jennie answered more determinedly
"ive been thinking lately, that I need to hold back more not just in the upcoming study camp, but more than anything. I dont want you to hate me"
Jennie says honeslty to the girl in front of her
"You dont need to worry about that"
Lisa says nonchalantly as she tried to ease the older girls worries
"Although im glad that you do"
Lisa finished then she give a small smile to the brunette
"Nini"
"I can't call out her name
I can't be the one who initiates anything
Even though
she do whatever she wants to me
nearly all the time."
L
isa says in her head as she look at the feline eyed girl who returned her aytwntiin on the notes in front of her
.....
" Well be doing a study camp with the stage show as the focus can you come and watch the rehersals?"
The advicer of student council says to the person on the otherside of the line.
Ms. Park sat on the couch of her apartment as she fiddled the small box laying in front of the coffe table
" You're a former alumni right so I think you would be able to give them good advice GD
As the teacher conversed on the line a playfull bar owner slowly creep in to hug and kiss her on her nape, then shoulder anywhere CL could reach in.
The teacher gave in to the kisses then she suddenly remembered that she is talking to someone on the phone so she tried to catch the kiss monsters mouth to stop the distraction
" No no I realized its only a small part of the culture festival but they are really serious about it. Their script is completly original and pretty interesting. They really want to revive the student council play from seven years ago.
CL just pout at her lovers action and she heard a soft mumvle on the phone.
The bar owner tried to lick her lovers hand that is still holding her mouth in captive.
The action gained a death stare from her lover.
So CL just slouched on the couch and wait up for Sandara to finish her call
"Ow i didnt tell you?"
Sandara reied to the peraon on the other line. Then she felt her lover snaked its arm on her waist to hugged her but this time CL didnt distract her. So she let the older girl trapped her in a loving embrace
"Im talking about a stage shiw performed by the student council
The lead would ve played their president Kim"
Sandara tried to explain again
"a Kim?" Cl now can hear the conversation as her lover leaned back to accept her embrace
"yeah, the current student council president Jennie Kim" the teacher explained again to the other side of the line
"When should I come?"
The guy on the other line asked immediately
........
"Lisa good morning" Jennie greeted as she walked faster to catch up with the blonde
"Good morning jennie unnie"
"Did you write your wish yet?" Jennie asked as she watch Lisa stared to the growing number of papers hanging on the bamboo shoots
"I wasnt able to think of a good thing to wish"
Lisa answered softly as she watch the papers hanging as the wind tried to play with it.
"Really, its okay to be greedy, even for just once in a while you know"
Jennie says soflty as she watch the taller girl
"You think so? Lisa asked softly without looking to Jennie's eyes
"0Well i have to go bye Lisa yah see you later". Jenni waved goodbye as she saw one of her classmate waiting. Then she took of after she waved good bye to the blonde
Lisa diverts her eyes from the baboo shoots with the hanging wishes on paper, then she watch Jennie's retreating back.
The truth is,
there is something that i want to wish for
but its stuck deep inside me
that I can't put it in to words,
even if I did write it,
I could never admit it.
Lisa walked away leaving an empty paper hanging
....
