LAW OF ATTRACTION (Author's Reco)

SHE IS JENNIE KIM

LISA

Everyday we realize how college life turned us into someone you didn't expect yourself to be.
Subjects are hard. Meeting with your friends for a lesser time as you all took different courses from each other is possible.
But we always make sure we bond four times a week and also on weekends.

And my heart,
the beat became different too.
It's now having a rhythm, a synching melody with my soul every time I get to see Jennie Kim.
Seeing her brightens up my day.
I'm lucky when I get the chance to see her at the library or she'll pass by the cafeteria and when Rosé and her meet up for a small talk. Also when she bonds with her friends at the school's gazebo or having a date with one of her suitors who is always with her.
Rosé said his name is Kai.
She also told me that Jennie might give him a chance since she mentioned to her that she is interested in getting to know him.

While here I am, I just watch her from afar most of the time. I am not hoping for a bigger chance with her anymore as we're not really friends and I don't think she would like me back. But if you're going to ask me if I like her, I really do. She has this effect on me that makes me feel alive and excited.
I am glad that my friends are not teasing me about her anymore. They would instead tease me with those college chicks who want to flirt with me.
But I always ignore them. I am not really interested with other women and I don't know why.

Currently, I am at the gazebo reading a novel by Chuck Palahniuk as I wait for my friends to come.
And here's Rosé with Jennie Kim walking.
Shit. I am sweating. Why is she with her approaching me?

"Lis, I am sorry to keep you waiting, just ended my class. Jisoo and Bam are on their way here too. By the way, Jennie has a project and you're the only one I know who can help her with."
Rose said and they both sat in front of me.

Jennie and I looked each other straight in the eyes and she smiled. I'm melting.

"Hi. Nice to see you again. I hope you can help me with my project on Human Anatomy. I will pay you, just name the price and we're good. Can I have your number?"
She said and I am like floating above the clouds with her angelic voice. She is so direct and I love it.

"Hey, Lis! Jennie wants your number."
Rosé snapped her fingers on my sight and I came back to my senses. Shit! 
I was too obvious.

"Hmmm. Ok. Sure."
I said and I gave her my number and she saved it on her phone.

"I got to go now. I will text you tonight and discuss with you what's my project is about. I will just finalize something with my professor."
She said and and I nodded while my body was like being caressed by her sweet and calming voice.

"You're right, Rosé. I bet she really does.
I got to go. Thank you, guys! Thanks, Lis!
By the way, you have a good taste in books, huh."
She added and I don't know what she meant by her first sentence. And oh, she noticed my book.

Jennie left and I am still in paradise thinking of how beautiful she is. She has this light and bright personality that injects some kind of romantic feeling in my system. I tried to visualize us together. Hmmm. We both look good together. But man, I think she's straight. And she will never like someone like me.

About to go to bed but someone is calling and texting me. It's just an unknown number. I didn't mind to answer. I always don't.

I read it one by one.

Unknown Number:
Hi, Lisa! This is Jennie. I have been calling you. Let me know if you're still awake. 🙂

My eyes widened.
Oh, shit!
I don't have a load!

I rushed out and looked for an open convenience store to get a cellular load.

L: Hi, Jen! I am sorry it took long for me to respond.
I ran out of load. Sorry.

She replied immediately.

J: It's okay. Rosé told me you really don't answer unknown numbers. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself at first. Can I call you?

I didn't reply anymore and I'm the one who called her.

L: Hi, Jennie! Good evening.

J: Oh! Hi, Lis! Hmmm. So, this is how your bedroom voice sounds like.

What?

L: Hmmm?

J: Hahaha! Never mind. By the way, let's talk about my project. Can we do it this weekend? We are required to build a miniature mock-up of the human body. Transforming mock-up which there will be an opening and you get to see the internal organs.

L: Oh. Sounds strange but interesting.

J: Am I freaking you out?

L: What? No. It's interesting! So, what medium do you want for this project?

J: You sure? Just let me know if you're not comfortable, ok? But I wish you'll do it. Rosé showed me photos of your work and I am really amazed! I love your clay sculptures.

L: Rosé. Did she show you the naked ones or—?

J: Yes. You're great!

L: Thanks!

J: So, can we start this weekend? I mean, can I come to your place and watch? I'm really interested seeing you doing it.

L: Oh. Wait. Are you sure? I mean, our place doesn't suit you.

J: If you're just comfortable. I don't mind of the place, Lisa.

L: Hmmm. Ok. I'll give you my address then.

J: Yeah. So, good night?

L: Yeah. Good night.

J: Thank you, Lisa.

L: You're welcome, Jennie.

We ended the call and I don't know why I keep smiling.
God. Why are you so hard to reach, Jennie Kim?
