Blind Date Gone Wrong || JenLisa

Chapter Ten

Weeks later, lunchtime
Library, University of Seoul

Lisa noticed Jennie had been leaving her packed lunch again every morning and she had never been happier. The Thai had also started eating them, only then realizing how amazing of a cook was Jennie. She immediately regretted how she'd been avoiding her food before.

The feelings Lisa had towards the brunette intensified through the days that follow. She was hopelessly in love with Jennie and she couldn't help but feel worried where this would get her.

Jennie had been nice to her since then. Actually, they had been nice to each other. Although, they didn't interact that much, she could tell that Jennie was now becoming less than a stranger and more of a friend.

That's why Lisa ended up in the library again, trying to catch up with what she had missed updating in her draft. She hadn't even made progress ever since Jennie had started acting nice towards her. Maybe she really does only write when she's depressed, Lisa thought.

Saturday, late afternoon
Lisa's bedroom

Realizing that she's way past her promised deadline to Professor Sungri, Lisa took the day off one Saturday and continued where she left off on her manuscript. She spent her entire day in her bedroom, typing one word after another on her laptop. When her hands started hurting, Lisa would pause and massage her wrists. Then after a moment or two, she would continue typing again.

The sky outside now looked a bit tinged in red from the sunset. Lisa suddenly stopped as she heard a soft knock on her door. Then a beautiful brunette peered inside, smiling.

"Hi, Lisa." The Thai's stomach did a backflip.

"Hey, Jennie," Lisa greeted, pausing on her laptop.

"Are you busy?" Jennie asked as she waltzed inside the Thai's bedroom. The brunette's eyes travelled to the photos the Thai had on her bedside table.

Quickly saving her work then closing her laptop, Lisa answered, "It depends on why you're asking."

Jennie turned to look at her, the skin around her eyes creases when she smiled. It was a wonderful sight to Lisa.

"I have Yo Yo Ma concert tickets for tonight and Jisoo bailed on me again because she met this guy named Jinyoung. Funny guy, actually. And Chahee's not in town at the moment... Do you want to go with me?"

Lisa could tell Jennie was rambling nervously as she stated the purpose of her visit in the Thai's bedroom. She stared at her, not because she was confused but because Jennie was one beautiful girl. And Lisa would take any opportunity just to steal a good glance at her. "A Yo Yo Ma concert?"

"He's an amazing and very talented musician. I have always dreamed seeing him perform live. Even though, I have honestly seen his concert videos online but I know it would be different in person.

"I'd never expect him to visit Seoul of all cities in Korea. So I bought these tickets months ago before high school graduation," Jennie replied. "And now here we are."

"And you want me to go with you?" Lisa clarified, as if she didn't understand in the first place.

Jennie nodded.

"Like a date?" Lisa dragged on, smirking.

Jennie immediately shook her head. "No, no, of course not, in no way of a date, if that makes you uncomfortable, it's okay, I can go on my own..."

Lisa should feel hurt but she decided to laugh about it. "Sure, Jennie. I'll go with you. As long as you also treat me to dinner afterwards."

The Thai had never seen Jennie's red smiling face up close before. Lisa had never realized how strong she was to fight the urge to kiss the brunette until that moment.
