Blind Date Gone Wrong || JenLisa

Chapter Twenty-four

A week later
Chahee's apartment

"Shit, I'm sorry!" Lisa shrieked as she abruptly slammed the bathroom door shut. But it was already encrypted into her brain, the beautiful naked image of Jennie. Her soft arms, the bare perfectly shaped breasts and defined abs and the slender curves from her back to bottom.

Lisa swallowed a lump in her throat as she turned around and headed towards the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water. She sighed after gulping almost half the bottle. Lisa's thoughts still consumed her. It had been a long time since she saw Jennie naked. And getting that image again into her head would not help her from recovering. The brunette still had that effect on the thai.

When Jennie stepped out the bathroom wrapped around in a beige towel, Lisa immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, Jen. I didn't know it wasn't locked. And I heard no water-"

"It's okay, Lis. It was my fault. I forgot to lock the door... I'm also running late," Jennie hurriedly said and skipped towards her bedroom, leaving a distraught Lisa behind.

Same day, early evening
Blink Arcade, YG mall

"Come on, Lis, what's stopping you now?" Rosé asked. Lisa was taping another batch of out-of-order arcade machines. Rosé was tending to the customers outside her booth. Taehyung was in the bowling alley at the moment. "I hate to say this but you and Irene are no longer in synch now that she's seeing this lab partner of hers."

"Irene's seeing someone?" Lisa's voice didn't sound disappointed. In fact, she was happy Irene had already moved on, the thai was feeling a lot much better and less guilty now.

"Yeah, three days ago, Seulgi told me," Rosé replied as she gave a bucket full of tokens to two small kids. "And no Ten."

Lisa sighed. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm waiting for Jennie to confirm it. She hasn't told me about their breakup. And she didn't even tell me she applied as a barista in a coffee shop. It's like we're no longer friends anymore, Rosie. She's slipping away from me."

The next day
Coffee shop nearby

"Hey," Lisa greeted a busy Jennie. The brunette still looked so gorgeous even when she's only wearing a gray t-shirt underneath a large white apron.

"Hi, Lisa! I didn't expect to see you here," Jennie replied, almost hesitantly. The thai thought she had come as a surprise to the brunette. Lisa never really visited Jennie in her work since that time she was with Irene. There was something in Jennie that Lisa couldn't figure out. Were they slowly drifting apart?

Lisa hurried to muster up a reply. "Well, I'm just going to buy coffee..."

"You know we have a coffee shop inside the university, silly? Why the long walk-.. anyways, what can I get you?" Jennie sported a smile. Lisa thought it seemed forced.

"Oh, just a cappuccino to go... and I... I'm on my way to... somewhere..." Lisa was stuttering. Why was she stuttering? She was undeniably nervous in front of the brunette.

The brunette was walking along the counter as she wrote Lisa's name on the cup.

Good thing the thai was the only one in line at the moment so she could start up a slow conversation. "Why didn't you tell me you started working here?"

Jennie didn't seem to expect the small talk as she pulled levers after levers from their coffee machine. "Just.. I needed some extra cash... We're having this week long class trip to Greece... for archaeological research... and I don't really want to ask from Chahee...I mean she knew, but she didn't know it wasn't free.."
