Need You To Need Me | Jenlisa

XIV.

After chatting and gossiping around for a while, they had decided to move to the movie room and watch something.

The seats were organized in three rows.

The two youngest took the first one, while the other two had to settle for the second.

It had been a while since their seating arrangement had been like that. Usually Rosè and Jisoo took the first row, leaving Lisa and Jennie to share a more reserved second row.

It had been during sophomore year that things had started to change. While both couples had always shared a special bond, age-wise, Jisoo and Jennie had been more comfortable talking to each other about some things that they knew the younger duo wouldn't fully comprehend.

But at fifteen, the age gap had reduced significantly, making it possible for the four of them to talk about almost anything together.

Jisoo and Rosie, along with Jennie and Lisa, had started getting considerably closer to each other. Secret sleep overs at each other houses had been on the regular, afraid to ignite some jealousy on the other counter part. Both unaware that both parts had been doing the same thing.

Now, or at least until then, it had been normal for all of them to subdivide the way they did: Rosè with Jisoo and Jennie with Lisa.

That's why Jennie felt a tug at her heart when she saw Lisa and Chaeyoung so close to each other, snuggling together while waiting for the movie to start.

She was sure Jisoo had felt it too.

On the other hand, the younger duo had looked unbothered by the situation. It was almost like they had made a silent agreement to act disgustingly sweet towards each other just to make the older girls jealous.

Maybe their agreement hadn't be so silent.

When Chaeyoung had made her way upstairs and to Jennie's room she had found a still shirtless Lisa laying on the bed, one arm covering her face.

Given her friend's distress and compromising position, Chaeyoung knew that every word that would have left her mouth would've been unfitting to the situation in some way.
So she had laid by Lisa's side and intertwined their hands before saying:

"It sucks, doesn't it?"

Nobody had paid attention to the movie. Maybe because Jennie had decided to put on Mean Girls which the four of them had seen literally a thousand times or maybe it was because everybody's mind was focused on something else.

Chaeyoung was laying her head on Lisa's chest while comparing the size of their hands. Both gestures didn't go unnoticed to both Jennie and Jisoo who had never felt more uptight in their entire life.

"If you don't say something, I will" Jisoo was the first one to voice her thoughts out, not really paying attention to keeping the volume of her whispering low.

"What are you talking about?" Jennie looked at Jisoo like she had just spoken a foreign language.

Truth was, the language Jisoo had just spoken was called jealousy and Jennie was fluent in it.

She was just as good at hiding it, though.

"You're telling me, none of this bothers you?" Jisoo said while pointing with her finger at the two girls in front of them.

"Why should it bother me?"

Jennie was so good at pretending her insides weren't actually fuming at the moment that if she could she would high five herself.

"Never mind, I guess it's just me who finds this whole thing weird" Jisoo sighed. She had hoped she could count on Jennie's fierceness to do the job for her, but it turned out she had been wrong.
