Blind Date Gone Wrong || JenLisa

Chapter One

Two months later, morning
2-bedroom apartment in Seoul

Lisa was pacing nervously in her bedroom with sad lofi songs playing in the background. She still had no idea what to write about for her junior year project in Advanced Creative Writing. She should have a definitive subject by the start of the term. But instead, she had listed a couple of stuff which would end up being crossed out.

Slumping on her bed, Lisa decided to give herself a break. It had been months since that awful date with Jennie and still, it seemed fresh in Lisa's memory. If only she had her number, then she would have asked forgiveness already. She realized that she had been too harsh and assumed the worst for the brunette.

Lisa shook her head. She was being too nice again, one trait that Lisa considered a weakness. Another were her anxiety and good old friend, depression. Rosé had seconded to that for she has witnessed what Lisa was like when Mina and Lisa broke up.

Mina was Lisa's first girlfriend. They met in high school as sophomores. It was all too good to be true. Both openly gay, it wasn't difficult for the both of them to show affection and love around people. They ended up dating until they separated for college. Mina moved to America and took Medicine. Their breakup was a mutual decision. They had seen it coming. Lisa admitted she couldn't really see a future with Mina.

But that didn't mean that the breakup did not hurt. It hurt Lisa so much until one day, it didn't. Just like her parents' death.

As she put on her Blink Arcade work uniform, Lisa's mind travelled back to those beautiful feline eyes. She really had a soft spot for beautiful girls, wait, straight beautiful girls. She shrugged herself. She didn't know if her gaydar was faulty or she's just a sucker for the kinds of Jennie.

But the problem was, Jennie was one of a kind. Lisa couldn't stop thinking about her. Maybe, it was the guilt or maybe, it was those lovely eyes when she's smiling.

Lisa knew she was up to no good.

"I don't get why you don't trust me anymore," Rosé said, giving one large kid a bucket full of game tokens. "I mean, it was one time only, Lisa, one time. I promise this time, no straight girls are allowed."

Lisa laughed as she taped one slot game machine an Out of Order sticker. "You're the worst matchmaker I have ever known."

"I'm your ONLY matchmaker, Limario, shut it," Rosé complained. Rosé had blonde wavy hair always tied in a ponytail. She was Lisa's best friend since high school and was taking a major in Chemistry in the same university as a junior.

Rosé turned her back to someone behind her in the booth. "Am I right, Taehyung? Taehyung here can't even suggest someone suitable for you."

"That's because I only have a list of men," Taehyung stammered. Taehyung was Rosé's classmate in Chemistry, who became their instant friend after one class together. "And Lisa and I have different preferences."

"Oh, shut up the both of you," Lisa said, chuckling. "I'm not going to 'dates' anymore. And besides, classes start on Monday. I don't have time for those-"

Rosé butted in. "PTSD."

"What?" Lisa exclaimed, quickly realizing what Rosé meant. "No, I don't!"

Taehyung was clueless so he asked, "What's Lisa traumatized about?"

"I most certainly am not traumatized," Lisa spat as she unplugged one game machine after the other, placing the out of order sign on both.
