When you least expect it (Jensoo convert G!P)

Chapter 23

I know the moment Song walks over to me during study period on Wednesday that it was going to be a problem. I am flipping through my file, trying to find the first draft of my essay, when I noticed a shadow on the table. I look up to find Song , one of the guys from the football team. I knew him and Jisoo were friends, not close friends, yet friends nonetheless.

"Hey," he says, looking from me to Rosé, Chahee, Doyeon before his gaze lands back on me.

"Hey," I reply, giving him a small smile, refusing to let my eyes drift in the direction of Jisoo, who was a few tables away.

"How are you?" He asks, taking a seat beside me. I notice his eyes run over my face with a look of curiosity on his face.

"I'm good. Trying to get all these assignments finished." I reply, inclining my head towards the table where all my work is.

"Yeah, don't remind me... I really hate this time of year." He smiles back at me, glancing for a second at my work before his eyes come back to my face.

"Many more due?" I ask after a moments silence, realising it was my turn to ask a question.

"Three. Most of mine were due last week." He replies. I had never really talked to Song before, I mean we talked as he was on the team. So, we talked during the after game pizza's and we have talked a few times while I was waiting on Mino after practice yet neither of us had gone out of our way to start a conversation, until now.

"Lucky," I comment, watching as a nervous look takes over his face. I give another small smile.

"Listen, I wanted to ask you something..." He pauses, scratching the back of his neck. I glance towards Rosé, noticing her watching our exchange with a small smile on her face.

"Yeah?" I prompt.

"Would you like to go to the dance with me?" He asks, suddenly. I blink at him, not having expected that. I had totally forgotten about the school dance that was coming up in a month or so.

Song looks down towards the table, waiting for my response. I don't know how to respond, keeping me silent for a second. If I hadn't this thing with Jisoo I would have said yes, without question. Yet, I knew that Jisoo would be annoyed. I realise in that second that the dance is ages away and there is no guarantee that Jisoo and I would even still be... involved.

"Can I think about it? It's just that I don't know if I'm even going to the dance or not yet." I tell him, trying to give him a hopeful smile. It was true, I hadn't even thought of about the dance and didn't know if I was going or not.

"Sure." He says, looking back up to me. I see from his face that he was happy I didn't say no. He nods once before standing and walking away. I watch his back for a second, before turning back to Rosé, Chahee and Doyeon.

They are all watching me with questioning gazes. I raise my eyebrows at them.

"What?" I ask.

"Why didn't you say yes?" Doyeon asks.

"I don't know if I'm going yet," I repeat.

"You're joking, right? You have never missed a dance." Chahee says.

"I might miss this one," I say, not feeling like explaining that I wasn't sure if I was going because I knew I couldn't go with Jisoo.

"Is it Song ?" Rosé asks, "do you not want to go with him?"

"No, it's just that I'm busy and haven't had a chance to think about it," I say, watching as they all accept that answer, knowing that I have so many assignments at the moment.
