Need You To Need Me | Jenlisa

XXV.

It was midnight in Thailand, or two in the morning in Korea. She hadn't expected Soojin to pick up the phone.

"Why did you pick up?" Lisa asked with an incredulous voice.

"You're mad cause i picked up the phone? Why did you call me then?" the brunette girl chuckled lightly, from her voice it was clear she had been sleeping.

"I don't know, I didn't think you'd answer" the thai girl now felt guilty for having woken Soojin up on a school night. "I just wanted to hear your voice"

"Oh is that what it is now? Does Lisa Manoban miss me?" Soojin's sleepy voice was even deeper and sultrier than her normal one, making her flirting lethal for Lisa.

"What if I did?" Lisa decided to answer fire with fire.

"Then I'd say I miss her too" Soojin said, background noises probably coming from her shifting on the bed almost covered what the girl said.

"People at this school are way to good at maths, if you don't come back soon I could find myself unemployed" she then jokingly added.

"that's some talk for someone who is still a junior"

"That's some talk for someone who lets this junior help her pass her classes"

Getting to know Soojin was revealing to be a very interesting experience for Lisa. It was like she had a lot of layers to her personality. And Lisa felt herself lucky to see more than what the girl usually let the world see.

Lisa scoffed "You barely help me. You pass the whole time reading your book while I have to work"

"You wouldn't have to work alone so much if you actually did your homework and not spend your time staring at me"

Lisa gulped. So she had noticed.

"Well, its not my fault I'm easily distracted. Plus, I don't think my tutor is being very professional with me. She was playing footsie with me under the table"

Lisa knew she had won their little game because for a moment Soojin had stopped answering to her teasing. If she could see her, she knew the brunette's cheeks would be red.

"I just hope she doesn't do it with all the students she tutors" Lisa added, praying to God that she didn't go to far with the jokes.

"Only with my favorites" Soojin finally answered. Her tone was still flirty but there was a softness to it that Lisa had already heard the night of Jennie's party.

"So there's more? Do I have competition?"

"Maybe" Soojin lied. She didn't have her eyes on anyone but the tall blonde girl. But she knew Lisa was the type to like a game, if she had understood anything of her relationship with Jennie.

"It's not like you don't have other suitors yourself" the younger girl then added. She hoped lisa would catch up on who she was implying.
She had been wanting to have this conversation with Lisa ever since the night at Jennie's house, but she had been afraid of coming out too strong and scare Lisa away. Or even worse, make her angry.

"If you're talking about Jungkook, that's a dead story". Of course Lisa knew what the brunette was trying to say, but she wouldn't just out her and Jennie if she wasn't even fully sure on what Soojin meant.

"I'm not talking about him, even though now I know there's someone else I should look out for"

"And who's the other one?"

"Jennie" Soojin replied. Even though she had simply said the girl's name. There was something in the way she had pronounced it that made Lisa understand that Soojin probably didn't like the girl.
