Chapter 10

Jennie's POV

A loud sound of crashing coming from the kitchen woke me up. I took my phone to check what time is it. It's just 7 am in the morning, and I'm pretty sure that the one who is causing those annoying sounds is no other than, my Dad.

I am about to stand up when I felt something heavy along my tummy. It was an arm. I furrowed my eyebrows a bit and then my face lighten when I remember that Lisa has spent the night here. I slowly look beside me and there, I saw my best friend, sleeping so peacefully.

I took my time to scan her features. From her doll eyes, her pointed nose, and to her pink plump lips. I caress her cheeks with my finger and I unconsciously let out a smile. It's been a while since I got closer to someone. I've stopped being friendly after what happened with me and Kai. I always have this feeling that everyone would just betray me at the end.

But that feeling was washed out when I met Rosѐ and Jisoo, and especially this sleeping monkey right here. They made me feel that I can try and trust again. That not all people are the same.

I gasped when I felt Lisa scoot a little more closer and buried her face to my neck. I can feel her hot breathe which made me uncomfortable.

My eyes widened when I saw my Dad coming out from the kitchen, with a pan and a ladle at both of his hands.

"Oh." Dad said when he saw us. I can see how surprise he is.

"Dad!" I said and quickly push Lisa away from me which results for her to fell with her butt to the floor.

I can feel a little bit of pain at my back, maybe this was the effect of taking a sleep at the couch.

"Good morning princess." Dad said with a teasing grin. I glare at him knowing what he would be thinking right now.

"G-good morning Dad." I said sternly.

"Ouch. Why the fuck did you push me?!" Lisa recover from her sudden fall down and look at me angrily while rubbing her butt.

"Good morning to you also, you are?" Dad said still having that annoying grin of her. Lisa's angry expression suddenly turned into an embarrassing one.

"G-good morning. I'm L-Lisa." Lisa said and bowed quickly.

"I'm sorry for yelling at your daughter, I was just surprised and at the same time, hurt." Lisa said and narrow her eyes on me.

"I'm sorry." I mouthed before hearing my father's laugh.

"You're hilarious. I like this girl. It's okay. I might do the same thing if-" I cut off my Dad and quickly pull him back to the kitchen.

"Be right back in few minutes Lis. I'll cook some breakfast. Stay okay?" I shouted.

When we arrive the kitchen I let go of my father's arm and turned around to face him who is now smiling widely at me.

"So, care to share my dear daughter?" He said while putting carefully the things that he is holding at the kitchen counter.

"I have nothing to share. What are you doing here at the kitchen anyway? We both know you can't cook." I said while finding some pancake mix.

"Really? Well, I'm hungry and I need to go to work early."

"You should have woke me up instead."

"I don't want to disturb your sweet moment with your girl-"

I slammed the pan and face him with my deadly glares.

"We are just friends. Nothing more, nothing less." I said coldly. I heard a deep sigh coming from him which made me raise one of my eyebrows while waiting for his reply.

"You're still mad at them don't you?"

I ignored his question and focused back on what I'm doing.

"Look sweetie, if this was still about your-"

"Dad. Can you just go out and set up the table?" I said not looking at him.

"Fine." He breathed before leaving the kitchen.

I paused for a bit and breathe deeply. I closed my eyes, trying my best not to let a tear escape.

Fuck them.

Lisa's POV

"Okay... What was that?" I mumbled after I saw how Jennie pulled her father away abruptly.

I can feel a bit of pain at my back and especially at my butt. I winced in pain as I rubbed my butt. I still can't believe that Jennie pushed me. And what would be the exact reason why Jennie did that?

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw Mr. Kim heading out of the kitchen. I bowed again to him as a sign of respect.

"Lisa right? Can you please help me setting up the table?" He asked.

I quickly stood up and went toward his direction. He passed me the plates and I lay it one by one at the table. Both of us are silent and I'm starting to feel that I'm in an awkward situation. I was just silently praying that Jennie would come out quickly so that the mood will lighten up.

"So what is your relationship with my daughter?" Mr. Kim suddenly asked which surprised me.

"I-I'm Jennie's f-friend s-sir." I replied nervously.

"Oh dear. There's no need to be nervous. I don't bite." He chuckled. I just smiled in response and went back to what I'm doing.

"I really thought that you and my daughter are together." He said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"That would be impossible. I'm straight and your daughter is-"

"Homophobic. I know. I'm just really hoping that one of these days, she will soon accept that love is unpredictable." He said while shaking his head sideways.

I was about to respond but I was stopped when I smelled something delicious. Pancakes. And there I saw a small brunette walking towards us wearing those gummy smile of hers which never failed to make my heart beat abnormally.

"I should go now. I'll be late for my meeting." Mr. Kim said.

"But I thought you were having breakfast with us?" Jennie replied with a frown.

"I got a text that my client is already on his way. I'll just make it up to you honey okay?" Mr. Kim said and plant a kiss at Jennie's forehead.

"And Lisa, take care of my daughter okay?"

"Yes Mr. Kim. Take care of yourself too." I replied.

After we heard the door close, Jennie sat beside me but I keep on ignoring her. I still can't forget what she did earlier

"What was that?" Jennie asked pertaining to her father's sudden request.

"I don't know."

"Are you mad at me?"

"Why would I? You just pushed me earlier and I hurt my butt. Tell me, is that something that I should be mad at you?" I replied sarcastically.

Jennie stuff my mouth with pancakes and laugh loudly.

"You're so noisy and it's very early." Jennie said.

"At least I didn't push someone while she's sleeping soundly." I managed to tell her while I'm chewing the pancake.

"I wouldn't do that if you just don't unconsciously scoot closer and buried your face to my neck when Dad saw us." She replied casually while taking a bite at her pancake.

"I- What?" I said while blinking my eyes out of surprise.

"My dad would assume that we're together that's why I have no choice but to push you off. It wasn't my intention to push you that hard. Forgive me Lili." She said and gave me that look that she gave me when she wants to go to the park yesterday.

"Aish. Stop with that look of yours okay. And what's with the nickname?" I said.

"What? You don't like it? It's cute though. I want to call you Lili. My Lili." She said and gave me her gummy smile.

Hearing the word "my" made me almost choke. My heart was thumping so loud as if it want to go out of its rib cage. I hit my chest hardly hoping that this heart of mine would calm down.

"Are you okay?" Jennie said.

"I am. I just choke on my food."

"Eat slowly will you."

"Yes Nini." I widened my eyes. That nickname just slipped out from my mouth.

"Nini?" She said with a smirk.

"Yah. You call me Lili. Then you will be my Nini." I said and stick out my tongue and went back to eating.

"That's cute." Jennie giggled softly.

After I finished my food, I told Jennie that I will go home. She didn't agree at first because she reminded me of my promise that we will hangout today. But when I told her that I needed to take a bath and change my clothes because I'm still wearing my uniform, she quickly agreed and even tell me that I stink which is obviously not true.

She also asked me to asked Rosѐ and Jisoo if they could hang out with us today which is a good thing for me which is a good thing because I might end up at the hospital if this heart of mine keeps beating in an abnormal way whenever the two of us are alone.

I went straight to my room and throw myself to my bed. I closed my eyes but I instantly regret it when Jennie's face suddenly popped out. After a few moments, another image popped out of my mind but this time it was me and Jennie, kissing. I quickly shook my head.

What the hell am I thinking? What the fuck is wrong with me?

Am I gay?
