EYEWITNESS ━ JENLISA

[3]

"Jennie?"

after a long embarrassing eye contact, the blonde spoke.

"What are you doing here? And how do you know my name?"

Lisa put a red strand behind her own ears. Now she must think I'm a stalker. Lisa thought to herself.

"My name is Lisa ..."

She tried to enter her new room, but Jennie took a step forward, closing the door.

"And Jisoo told me your name."

"I don't care about your name. What are you doing here?" she started to become more and more angry.

"This is my new room." Lalisa answered.

"Incredible. I was hoping I wouldn't get someone like you as a roommate." She rolled her eyes.

"Come in."

The door opened and Lisa entered with a sigh of relief, she thought she'll have to beg on her knees. The room was ok, with pale pink walls, old worn and some new wall stickers. There was a large bed next to the balcony door. There was another bed by the door, there was nothing on it, it was probably Lisa's new bed.

"Where are your stuffs?"

"Today is my first day here, so didn't had a lot of time. The house where I was staying is far away, so I'm waiting for my aunt to help me get my stuff."

"And where is your aunt?"

"She's the deputy director, she can't get out of her work very easily."

Jennie nodded. Lisa sat down on her bed, and she didn't even bother trying to have a conversation with the girl on the other side of the room, who was deeply immersed n one of her school books. Lisa, meanwhile, lay down on her put, and pulled out her phone from her pocket. She searched for Ahn's contact, but her finger twitched when she saw the name 'Kunpimook Bhuwakul'.

She wondered, what BamBam might be doing. The girl and her ex-boyfriend have not spoken since the incident, nor have they had a chance to speak. Lisa was so busy these two days that she forgot to think about her love, she didn't have time to write a single message, and the boy had a huge wound in his heart that the beautiful Thai girl had caused and he just wanted to forget. Lisa crossed the line that night, maybe she should have drunk less, but nothing else could help with the stress and anger caused by her mother. Maybe it would be the best, if she didn't bothered him... but her hand, as if controlled by someone else, pressed on the boy's contact. He wrote him a simple 'Hi.', amazed, that he didn't blocked her there too.

The light was taken over by the darkness, as the hours went by, and the girls still didn't say a word to each other. Jennie was on the phone, talking to someone -probably her boyfriend-, and Lisa was browsing her social medias, while anxiously waiting for her (ex) boyfriend to answer her text. The patio door was open, the small knock on the front door was hardly heard, because of the loud outside noises. The girls stood up at the same time, to answer the door.

"Hello, Deputy Director Ahn." Jennie bowed to the thin woman.

"Hello to you too." She waved to the blonde girl, then fixed the silk gloves on her hand. "I'm sorry Lalisa, for being this late."

Lisa took her bag in her hands, and walked out the door. She hurried down the stairs, thinking, Jennie and Aunt Ahn must have something to talk about. She sat down on the bench where Jisoo and Rosé was previously. The corridor was dark and quiet, only the faint light of the moon shining through the windows. When Lisa was in her early teen years, and she felt down because of her mom, she always sat out on the roof to look at the stars and the moon, because doing that, she knew that there's always something looking down at her.

"Come on, let's go!" Aunt Ahn throw Lisa's cardigan on her head, waking her from the daydreaming.

The red-haired girl had changed her uncomfortable uniform into a plaid shirt and jeans, with a bag in her hand and back, she would have already left to go back to her annoying roommate, but Ahn called for Lisa.

"There's a place I wanted to show you." Lisa put all of her stuff down, as Ahn started to lead her by her hand.

"The house where I live now, belonged to my parents. When your father and I was little, there was a lake nearby, where your grandfather build us a little treehouse. Whenever I was in a bad mood, I just when there, and the scenery made me calm down. I haven't been there since the accident, and I was also busy with school. I just want you to know, that if you ever feel like taking a break from everything, you can come here. - When they got there, Lisa was amazed by the scenery, and she thought about all the memories his father and her aunt could have made there.

"Thank you for showing me this place, I appreciate it." She felt happy, but she also felt the long-gone bitter taste in her mouth she felt at the time after the accident.

At the ride back to the dorm, the blonde girl crossed her mind. Does she has a boyfriend? There's no way she's single, she's way too pretty. Lisa asked Ahn to drop her at a supermarket, where she bought some ramen for herself, and her roommate.

It was ten o'clock in the evening by the time Lisa returned. Slowly, she turned her key in the lock, in case Jennie was already asleep, she didn't want to wake her up, she'd probably yell at her. She opened the door where an angry Jennie was waiting for her.

"What the he'll were you thinking? Being out this late..." Lisa put the bags from her hand on the empty bed. "The supervision teacher wanted to hold me accountable for you not being here. You have to be in your dorm room before nine! It's your first day, but you are already causing troubles for others...

"I'm sorry, if you want to, I can talk to the-"

"You don't have to. Now go to sleep."

Lisa started to searc for the ramens, when she found them, she happily got them out.

"I didn't eat yet, it I bought ramen... for both of us." She handed the girl one, so just pushed her hand away, and went back to her bed.

"I don't eat things like that, because otherwise I'll look like you." The redhead nodded, confused. What do you mean by looking like me? She thought to herself. She made her bed and while waiting for the ramens to be ready, she looked at his phone, but there still wasn't an answer from BamBam. While she ate her noodles, Jennie fell asleep. Lisa also snuggled into her bed, but a beeping sound coming from her phone prevented her from falling asleep. "Hello" she read the text message from BamBam.
