Chapter 14

Lisa's POV

"Do you smell that Jisoo?" Rosѐ said.

"Of course Rosie. What was that again?" Jisoo replied.

"Jealousy!" The both of them said and burst out in laughter leaving me in a very confused state.

Jennie heard what the duo said, she scoffed in annoyance and threw her spoon towards them. Rosѐ was fast enough to dodge the flying spoon but not Jisoo. Jennie's spoon landed right on her forehead which made her groaned in pain.

"Yah! Jennie Kim! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Jisoo said.

"If you just shut your fucking mouth then there's no flying spoon that would hit you." Jennie said coldly.

"It's not just me! Rosie is with me!" Jisoo complained.

"It's okay Jisoo-yah. You're not that fast enough to dodge." Rosѐ patted Jisoo's back.

"Go and get me another spoon." Jennie said while staring outside.

"Why me?" Jisoo said.

Jennie look at Jisoo with the same cold eyes as before. I saw how Jisoo flinched in fear and quickly stood up. I thought it was just me who's scared of this kitten. I was about to laugh at Jisoo's reaction when Jennie glanced at me so I don't have any choice but to hold back my laughter. I can feel how my body stiffened just by here mere stare.

"Here's your spoon madam. " Jennie took the spoon from Jisoo without saying anything and went back on eating her ice cream.

"And Rosie and I are going." Jisoo said.

"We are? But I haven't finish my food yet!" Rosѐ complained.

"Yes we are going Park Chaeyoung." Jisoo said strongly and widened her eyes to the latter.

"Oh yeah right. We're going." Rosѐ quickly agreed and stood up.

Before leaving the ice cream shop, Rosѐ glanced back at me and whispered.

"Good luck neighbor." She said and winked at me.

"What?" I replied.

She just giggled and pointing out Jennie who is busy eating her ice cream. I suddenly feel nervous when I realize what that chipmunk was talking about.

Jennie has been ignoring me since we left the school. I was trying to figure out why Jennie's been acting like that. I tried talking to Jisoo because Rosѐ was busy clinging to the kitten but all I got is annoyance from that chicken. She's been teasing me the whole time and telling how dead am I.

I was also not about to sat beside her since I can feel the tension and it will make me more nervous than ever but the crackhead Jisoo quickly push me away and sat beside Rosѐ.

I glanced back at Jennie, she's quietly eating her ice cream, but this time, it seems like she's not enjoying it. What the hell did I do?

"You know it's rude to stare Manoban." She coldly said, not giving me even a single glance. I breathed deeply and gathered all of my courage to talk. I need to figure out why she's acting like this.

"What's wrong Nini?"

"Nothing."

"Are you mad?" I move my face closer to her, trying to meet her eyes.

"No." She replied still not looking at me.

"Yes you are. You're calling me by my last name. Not by that nickname you made for me." She stopped eating her ice cream and looked at me which taken me aback. I didn't expect her to turn around like that. Our face was just few inches closer, AGAIN. My eyes widened in surprise and seems like all of my muscles forgot how to function.

"Why would I be mad at you?" Jennie said coldly, not moving her face away from me.

"Because you didn't like Momo and I talked to her a while ago? Or..."

"Or what?"

"Or you're jealous like what Jisoo and Rosѐ said?" I quickly shut my mouth as I realize what I said.

I heard Jennie scoffed and move her face away from me.

"Why would I be jealous? What are you? My girlfriend?" She said.

I felt a sudden pang of pain pierce right into my heart. Hearing those words from Jennie sent me this weird feeling. And I have no freaking idea why am I feeling this.

I slouched back at the couch and divert my whole attention at my ice cream. Why am I so affected at the fact that we're not together? Does this means that I like Jennie? Does this mean that I am not straight anymore? I shook my head hardly and close my eyes to clear those stupid thoughts that I'm thinking. Maybe I'm just tired and been overwhelmed that's why I'm not thinking straight.

"I'm not mad Lili. I'm just annoyed." Jennie suddenly said. But her voice is now calmer than the last time.

"Annoyed? Why? Is it because of me? Do I annoy you?" I asked continuously.

"Calm down Lili. You're not annoying me." Jennie said and held my hand. I feel my skin burning just by a mere touch of her. It's burning, but in a good way.

"Then what's the reason why you're acting like this?"

"That girl from earlier." She said softly.

"Who? Momo? I know you don't like her Nini. But she's kind, I swear."

"No. Not her. The other one."

I furrowed my eyebrows and think hardly.

"Ah! Nayeon?" I asked. Jennie hummed in response.

"What about her? She seems nice." I said.

"No way Lili." Jennie scoffed and face me.

"That girl is gay!" She exclaimed.

"Nini. You know it's not nice to judge people just by their appearance right? Remember what happened when you-"

"I know but I'm not judging her. It's true! I heard it."

"Wait. I can't get what you are saying."

"Okay. Earlier, at the audition, when you start dancing, you caught a couple of girls' attention. And that bunny was one of them."

"Bunny?"

"Yeah. Notice her two big front teeth? That makes her look like a bunny."

I can't help but to laugh at what Jennie called her. I just nodded as a sign for her to continue.

"A girl sitting behind me started screaming how hot you are. Well I admit, she's stating the fact."

"So you think I'm hot?" I smirked.

"Yes. And you're way hotter when you're danc- wait, can you just let me finish?" Jennie crossed her arms.

"Okay. Fine." I said and lifted both of my hands as a sign of defeat.

"Then another girl, which is that bunny, screamed that she wants you to be her girlfriend. So I quickly turn around and told her that you're straight so she would stop being delusional. And you know what she said to me? She told me that she can change you! It means that she can make you be like her. The audacity." Jennie scoffed.

"There's no doubt. You're jealous." I said and let out a mischievous smirk to tease her.

"What? I told you I'm not jealous!"

"You're acting like a jealous girlfriend Nini." I stick out my tongue to her.

"How many times I should tell you that I'm annoyed not jealous? And I'm scared."

"Scared of what?"

"That you might turn one of my most hated people. Spaghetti is straight until it gets wet."

"What the heck?" I choked at what she said. I didn't see that coming. Jennie laughed and handed me a glass of water which I drank immediately.

"What if I really became one of them? What would you do?" I asked and put the glass back at the table carefully.

"I won't talk to you again. Ever." She said seriously.

"Even if I'm your best friend?"

"Yes."

I fell silent at her answer. There it is again, the pain that I felt earlier came back. But this time, it's more intense. My eyes are quivering and I started breathing faster than normal.

"Hey. You're quiet. Are you okay?" Jennie asked. I just nodded since I have no strength to open mouth.

"You're not one of them, right?" Jennie added. I glanced back at her and saw how she's staring at me intently.

"Y-yeah."

"I know. I'm just messing with you." She said and flashed her gummy smile at me before finishing her ice cream.

I looked away from her and pursed my lips together. I gritted my teeth and clutch my fist. I need to stop myself before it's too late.

I might end up losing her.
