Blind Date Gone Wrong || JenLisa

Chapter Thirteen

The next day, morning
Lisa's bedroom

Brown doe eyes slowly opened then squinted from the bright light outside the window. Lisa felt cold. The black-haired's hand reached out to the other side of her bed, expecting the warm soft body from Jennie. But instead, cold empty sheets greeted her. Lisa opened her eyes wider and realized she was all alone in her bedroom.

She straightened up and glanced around her. Her worn shirt from last night still sprawled on the floor, concluding she wasn't dreaming. But why had Jennie left?

Shit. Jennie, Lisa thought. Last night really happened. Millions of thoughts sprang into the Thai's mind, most of them were bad ones.

What are they now? Why did Jennie leave? Was it just a one night casual thing friends do? Are they still friends after this? What if it was her fault, believing that Jennie was just at her vulnerable state, sad about her dead father, and Lisa took advantage of it?

Lisa couldn't help shake off the feeling that everything would change from this day on.

The Thai quickly got off the bed and put on a sweater. It was snowing again outside, although the street was only partially covered, meaning the snow had only started falling.

Lisa quietly went outside her bedroom. The living room was dark and empty. So, she tiptoed towards Jennie's bedroom and gently knocked.

There was no response so Lisa knocked again. For the third time, Lisa decided to grab the knob and push open the door. But, it was locked.

Then she called out, "Jen?" No answer.

Maybe she was still asleep, Lisa thought.

When the Thai went back to her bedroom, she went through her phone and checked if she needed to go to work. Rosé had already texted her that she'd be taking the day off so Lisa had to cover for her. Lisa begrudgingly headed off to take a shower. Then she noticed a message she never recalled opening.

It was just sent this morning, so she'd probably be asleep or sleepwalking.

Irene: I enjoyed talking to you last night. :)

Irene. Shit. How could she forget? Wait. Maybe. Just maybe. Jennie had read this message and mistook it as something, Lisa worried.

If Lisa had been honest from the start, Jennie would've thought it was just a simple text, and nothing more than that.

Same day, late afternoon
Blink Arcade, YG mall

Lisa was stationed today at the booth, serving game tokens to customers. There were a lot of customers on Sundays. The Thai was amazed on how Rosé had managed to handle the challenge. Well, to be fair, she wasn't as strong and as flexible as Rosé.

At least the busy work helped her mind off from things. From Jennie.

Lisa tried to call Jennie during lunchbreak, but the brunette wasn't responding to any. She wondered if Jennie really was in her most vulnerable state, and Lisa abused it. She abused her. No different than Kai. Actually, she was worse.

When she had her dinner break, Lisa took out her phone and decided to text Rosé. She had to talk to somebody. It was driving her insane.

Lisa: Rosie... can we talk?

After a few minutes, Rosé replied.

Rosie: Is this about Seulgi? I already told her I placed the cash box into her safe.

Lisa: No, it's not about Seulgi.. It's about Jennie.

It only took three seconds when Lisa's phone started to ring. After a moment of hesitation, Lisa answered the call.

"Did something happened between you two last night?" Rosé immediately asked.

Lisa stuttered. "Rosie... it's complicated..."

"Oh shit, something did happen. I saw you two had been eye fucking each other during the party, Lis."

"Shut it, Rosie. It's not like that-"

"Then how do you explain that? A one night stand?"

"She... she was...," Lisa hesitated about telling the truth. Well, maybe it was just a one night stand. "She was sad... And I thought.... I thought she really wanted it..." The Thai suddenly broke into tears. "I took advantage of her, Rosie. I... should be the responsible one because I'm the older one...shit.. what would Chahee say about this-"

"Ssshhh! Calm down, Lisa. I'm sure there's a perfect reason why Jennie consented okay? She wasn't that drunk so she's wise to make her own decisions. And she decided to sleep with you... and that's not your fault, Lis."

"I know, but-"

"You two need to talk-"

"She doesn't even want to talk to me, Rosie.. she's been avoiding me."

"Give her time.. she's probably as lost and overwhelmed as you are now."

Same day, night
Chahee's apartment

Lisa had finally calmed down when her shift ended. But that didn't mean that the walk towards home wasn't filled with anxiety. She worried if she had lost Jennie as a friend because of what they did. She worried if the brunette felt like Lisa wasn't different from the bad guys she dated.

As she entered the apartment, Lisa saw a light from the kitchen and wandered off there. Jennie was waiting for the kettle to boil from the stove.

"Jen," Lisa said. The brunette slowly looked at her with empty sad eyes. Lisa was suddenly splashed with guilt. "I need to talk to you."

"I also need to talk to you, too," Jennie said, turning back her attention at the kettle. "I'm making tea, do you want one?"

Lisa froze. "No, thanks, tea's not really my thing.." This made the brunette smile.

"About last night," Jennie said, now looking at the black-haired. "Before you say anything else, I just want to tell you I'm very very sorry. I didn't know what I was doing. Clearly, we were both still under the influence of alcohol in our system. I mean, I was a little intoxicated, not gonna lie. And my judgment was clouded. And also about my father. And everything happened so fast, I didn't know what came into me.... I'm... I'm sorry... Last night shouldn't have happened. And I hoped it won't affect our friendship, Lisa. I promise it won't happen again."

If it was even possible, Lisa felt her heart broke into million pieces. "So, it didn't mean anything what we did last night?"

Jennie was near to tears and it hurt seeing her like that. "I don't know, Lisa. I don't know. I just... I just don't wanna lose you as a friend, okay?"

Friend. That was all Lisa was to the brunette. Only a friend.

"Okay. Whatever you say, Jennie," Lisa said, trying to maintain her best appearance. She didn't want to break down and cry in front of the brunette.

"What were you supposed to talk to me about?"

Lisa licked her lips, her eyes suddenly watery. "Nothing. I... just the same, too. I don't wanna lose you, Jennie. And I'm sorry if I acted so out of line last night... I'm sorry I took advantage of your vulnerability. I should be the matured one because for fuck's sake, I am the older one..... And I swear to you... it won't happen again."

Jennie was biting her lower lip, her arms crossed on her chest, staring at Lisa like she was hesitating to tell the redhead more.

And then the kittle hissed, bringing the two back to their senses.
