HOPELESS ROMANTIC

CHAPTER 5 (FLASHBACK 2)

LISA'S POV

IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE I BROKE UP WITH JENNIE. SINCE THEN I'M ALWAYS HERE IN MY APARTMENT DOING NOTHING.... I REGRET BREAKING UP WITH HER.

"YO BRO! LET US IN" I HEARD A SHOUT OUTSIDE MY DOOR. AND FROM THEIR VOICE I ALREADY KNOW WHO THEY ARE ARE... WHAT ARE THOSE BOYS DOING HERE. PROBABLY CONVINCE ME TO DATE THAT GIRL THAT THEY ALWAYS TALK ABOUT.

"IT'S OPEN COME IN!" I SHOUTED BACK.

"BRO, IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN LOCKING YOURSELF" V SAID WITH A WORRIED FACE.

"V IS RIGHT LISA, C'MON WHY DON'T YOU GO OUT WITH THE GIRL WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT" JIMIN SAID WHILE HOLDING MY SHOULDER.

THEY ARE RIGHT, I NEED TO MOVE ON FROM JENNIE.

DEEPLY SIGH "OK FINE. I'LL MEET HER" I SAID THAT MADE ALL OF THEM SHOUT. WHAT A CHILDISH FRIENDS I HAVE RIGHT?

"FINALLY AFTER A DECADE OF CONVINCING YOU!!!" SUGA SAID WHILE HIS ARMS ARE OPENED WIDELY AND LOOKING AT THE CEILING. I MENTALLY FACED PALM.

"SO WHEN?" JUNGKOOK ASKED

"CAN WE MEET LATER?" I SAID

"SURE LET'S GO TO THE ARCADE I'LL JUST CALL HER AND WE'LL JUST WAIT FOR HER" RM SAID WHILE CHOOSING MY OUTFIT.

"HERE WEAR THIS"RM CONTINUED.
_____________________________

WE'RE NOW AT THE ARCADE WAITING FOR THIS GIRL. DID I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION?? I HOPE I DID.

"OK BRO WE'LL BE HEADING NOW, SHE'S JUST PROBABLY AROUND HERE" J-HOPE SAID WHILE TAPPING MY BACK.

"OK SEE YOU GUYS" I SAID AS THEY LEAVE.
_____________________________

I'M HERE STILL WAITING FOR THE GIRL. AS I HEARD A SWEET VOICE...

"HI ARE YOU LISA?" SHE SAID WHILE LOOKING AT A PICTURE... OF ME.

"AH YEAH. WAIT ARE YOU-" SHE DIDN'T LET ME FINISH TALKING. OK? KINDA RUDE.

"YEAH I'M THE ONE WHO RM AND THE OTHER BOYS RECOMMENDED FOR YOU. BTW I'M CHAEYOUNG, PARK CHAEYOUNG... BUT YOU CAN CALL ME ROSÉ." SHE SAID WHILE SIGNING ME TO SHAKE HER HANDS.

"OH, HI ROSÉ I'M LISA" I SAID WHILE SHAKING HANDS WITH HER.

"WHY DON'T WE PLAY A GAME... LET'S HAVE A BET" SHE SAID WHILE SEARCHING A GAME TO PLAY. "THERE LET'S PLAY BASKETBALL" SHE SAID WHILE DRAGGING ME.

SMIRK "SURE LET'S HAVE A BET" I SAID CONFIDENTLY CAUSE I KNOW I'M GOING TO WIN.

"COMPETITIVE HUH? WELL OK, IF I WIN YOUR GONNA TREAT ME DINNER IN A FANCY RESTAURANT. BUT IF I LOSE I'M GOING TO COOK FOR YOU... AT MY APARTMENT... DEAL? SHE SAID AS SHE SMIRK. WELL WHAT COULD GO WRONG.

"DEAL" I SAID AS I SHAKE HER HAND.

"LOOK AT THE LOSER HERE" I SAID TEASINGLY.

"FINE, FINE YOU WON.. WHATEVER. BUT EITHER WAY I'LL STILL ACCEPT THE RESULT CAUSE NOW YOU'RE GOING WITH ME IN MY APARTMENT... I'M GOING TO COOK FOR YOU." SHE SAID. I DON'T LIKE THE FEELING OF THIS,BUT I JUST SHRUG IT OFF.
_____________________________

"SO... HOW'S THE FOOD?" SHE SAID STILL EATING THE PASTA SHE COOKED.

"NOT GONNA LIE, IT IS PRETTY GOOD" I SAID AS I DRINK MY ORANGE JUICE.

"PRETTY GOOD?! DO YOU MEAN IT'S AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS?" SHE SAID THAT MADE US BOTH CHUCKLE.

"YOU KNOW... WE GO ON THE SAME SCHOOL YOU JUST CAN'T NOTICE ME CAUSE I'M NOT THAT APPROACHABLE PERSON YOU KNOW? ACTUALLY I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU SINCE HIGH-SCHOOL SINCE THE BOYS ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT YOU, BUT I DO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND THAT TIME, BUT NOW CAN YOU ATLEAST LET ME PROVE HOW MUCH I LIKE YOU. CAN YOU BE MINE?"SHE SAID SINCERELY WHILE LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO MY EYES.

IS IT TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON FROM JENNIE. IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE WE BROKE UP, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT SHE ALREADY MOVED ON FROM ME, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID TO HER . IT'S NOT HARMFUL IF I SAY YES TO HER... RIGHT? WELL HERE GOES NOTHING....

"OK, LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT" I SAID THAT MADE HER HUG ME.

"THANKS LISA.. YOU WON'T REGRET IT"SHE SAID THAT MADE ME HUG HER BACK.

2 YEARS LATER, ME AND ROSÉ ARE STILL TOGETHER. WE'RE NOW HEADING TO THE PARK.

"BABE.. LOOK THERE'S AN ICE CREAM TRUCK THERE. CAN YOU BUY ME SOME ICE CREAM... PLEASE" SHE SAID WITH PUPPY EYES.

CHUCKLE "OK MY BABY CHIPMUNK" I SAID WHILE WALKING TO THE TRUCK. "WAIT HERE" I SAID

"HERE YOU GO" I SAID BUT SHE JUST LOOKED AT ME WITH A BLANK EXPRESSION.

"MILK ICE CREAM, I DON'T EVEN LIKE THAT FLAVOUR" SHE SAID THET MADE ME FROWN.

"HUH?! I THOUGHT IT'S YOUR FAVORITE?" I SAID

"MAYBE IT'S YOUR EX'S FAVORITE NOT MINE" SHE SAID THAT MADE ME REALIZE THAT IT IS HER FAVORITE NOT HERS. "YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M TIRED LET'S JUST FINISH THIS RELATIONSHIP" SHE SAID THEN WALKED AWAY THAT MADE ME CHASE HER AND GRAB HER WRIST.

"WAIT I'M SORRY, OK? " I SAID HOLDING HER HAND.

"YOU KNOW LISA HAVE YOU REALLY MOVED ON FROM HER. DID YOU REALLY LOVED ME." SHE SAID WHILE CRYING PUNCHING MY CHEST.

I STOPPED HER FROM PUNCHING ME. "OF COURSE I LOVED YOU UNTIL NOW." I SAID WHILE WIPING HER TEARS OFF.

"LET'S SAY THAT YOU DO LOVE ME. BUT THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOU THAT IS TELLING ME THAT YOU LOVE HER MORE THAN ME" SHE SAID WHILE STILL CRYING.
"LISA DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS IN NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED. LISA YOU ALWAYS THINK THAT I'M HER, YOU SOMETIMES CALL ME BY HER NAME,YOU FORGOT MY BIRTHDAY BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT MY BIRTHDAY IS YOUR EX'S BIRTHDAY, YOU EVEN GOT OUR ANNIVERSARY WRONG AND WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP YOU ALWAYS SAY 'PLEASE JENNIE I STILL LOVE YOU'. LISA I CAN'T I'M TIRED PUSHING MYSELF TO YOU. I ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE YOU FORGET HER, AM I NOT ENOUGH. TELL ME!"SHE SAID CRIYING OUT LOUD WHILE STILL HITTING ME.

"ROSÉ PLEASE STOP, I'M SORRY. I JUST CAN'T LOVE YOU LIKE I LOVE HER. BUT I REALLY TRIED TO FORGET HER AND TO LOVE YOU INSTEAD, BUT YOUR MONKEY'S HEART CAN'T JUST PLACE A CHIPMUNK IN IT AND REPLACE IT'S KITTEN. I'M SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME" I SAID WHILE CRYING AND HOLDING BOTH OF HER HANDS.
