Safe Haven (Original Chaelisa Fanfic)

Chapter 24

"I'm starving," I grumbled as I stretched, my back throbbing from hours of sitting in this uncomfortable chair.

I looked over at Lisa, who was still peacefully sleeping, I went over to her bed and gave her a light kiss on the cheeks.

"I'm in love with you." I muttered, then palmed my face as humiliation crept up on me. "This isn't going to work." I let out a sigh.

"I'll be back, Lalisa." I muttered to the sleeping girl, as I thought to myself 'Chaeng, she's just sleeping,' laughing to myself. I'm used to talk to her before while she's sleeping, so it could just be reflex.

I noticed Lisa's parents on their way to her room as I was walking to the hospital canteen, so I waved hello and told them I was just going to get something to eat.

I was peacefully eating when someone sat beside me making me jump on my seat. "Jisoos! Please don't sneak up on me!" I punched my fist into Jungkook's arm, and he burst out laughing, snatching up a tissue to wipe the sauce off my cheeks.

"So you're not as depressed as you were before. I'm assuming Lisa is all right?" he asked, his chin resting on the palms of his hands, his gaze fixed on me.

"Yeah..." He furrowed his brow as I exhaled, "Hey, what's with that tone?" he asked worriedly.

"It's just... I'm contemplating about..." He gasped as I trailed off "Are you finally going to propose to Lisa?! You've waited long enough!" as I chuckle at his antics, he squeals with delight.

"We're not even-" I tried to say something, but Jungkook's blabbering mouth cut me off. "And here I was thinking Lisa would be the first to act." With a shake of his head, he expressed his displeasure.

"We're not together!" I exclaimed. "I'm really proud of you, Park Chaeyoung," he shushed me, holding out his point finger at me, as I stared at him in bewilderment. He proudly clapped.

When everyone starts staring at us strangely, I hold his hands down. This guy never fails to make us look stupid.

There comes a point in our friendship when I confess to Jungkook that I love Lisa. That's how he was aware of my feelings for the other girl. Apparently, I'm not the only one that feels that way towards the thai girl.

"Aish! Let's stop studying for the time being, Park Chaeyoung!" I frowned at Jungkook's complaints because we'd only been studying for half an hour and he was already fussing.

But, in the end, I caved in "Fine. What are your plans?" I set down my pen and focused on Jungkook, who was hunched over in thought.

"Tell me something I don't know." He stated seriously, and I was taken aback by his sudden shift in attitude, which appeared to be a challenge to me.

I smirked, leveling with his demeanor, and simply said, "English."

"That's good, that's good," he exclaimed as his grin falls down his face. We ended up giggling and then calming down.

"Park Chaeyoung, I have a question for you." I became curious when he drifted off and began looking at the pencil he was holding, as if he was pondering about something. "What is it?" I asked.

"Are the rumors true?" he asked curiously and I furrowed my eyebrows wondering what rumor he was referring to. I gasped when I realized what he was referring to. Lisa and I's dating rumor!

"The two won't tell me the truth; every time I asked, they kept making up new stories. I swear those two... they never run out of stories." he shook his head in disbelief.
