SHE BENT ME

[JENNIE]

"What the hell was that, Jennie? What are you playing at?" Nayeon said with tone of annoyance.

"What do you mean?"

"Is this one of your games again like in high school? Where you will use your charm just like what you did to Kai?"

Okay, I'm done. This conversation is starting to piss me off.

"I didn't do anything." I defended.

"Are you sure? I know you for years, Jennie. You make people fall in love with you and once they do, you run away and act as if you did not cause it. You always leave them hanging." she said angrily. "You can't do that to Lisa," she added.

"Where is this conversation going? Besides, I am not flirting with Lisa. She's a girl and she's straight, she will never fall in love with me, I was just taking her to a test," I clarified.

"You don't get it, Jennie. That girl is not straight and I can sense it, stop messing with her feelings," she exclaimed.

"Oh, you're assuming her sexuality Nayeon or is this something you call your gay radar? Where you always decide someone's sexuality because you just feel so?" I said and my voice is obviously pissed.

"No, Jen— I" I cut her off.

"You think everyone is gay just because you are one!?" I added and it sounds like I'm mocking her. I don't want to hurt Nayeon with my words. What the hell is wrong with me? I wish I can take it back. I don't know if my voice is loud but some people near us looked.

Nayeon felt embarrassed by what I said. Her eyes starting to water and she walked out.

"N-Nayeon. I'm so.. rry." I sighed. Oh no. This is all my fault.

I am the worst human being in this world. I should've stayed quiet when mad.

I hate having a fight with my best friend.

The girls left their table and came to me. I hope they didn't hear what I said.

"What was that? What happened?" Jisoo asked in a worried tone.

"Did you guys have a fight?" Rosé asked in concern.

I don't feel like answering questions right now. I just hurt one of the most important people in my life. I can feel liquid in my eyes but I'm just holding it in. There are too many people and I don't feel comfortable.

I feel guilty about what I said. Lisa suddenly pulled me in a hug and patted my back.

My tears started to fall when she hugged me. This is what I need right now.

"Chipmunk and Jisoo, can you leave us for a moment?" Lisa said in calm way. Her voice is so calming. How can I tease this angel?

"Are you sure? She might need us." Jisoo said.

"Chipmunk," Lisa said, she's pertaining to Rosé.

"Hey, let's leave them for a while. Lisa can handle it," Rosé said to Jisoo and both of them left while Lisa is still hugging me and didn't care about the people around us. Why do I find this comforting?

"Hey, come with me," she wiped my tears and grabbed my hand.

I don't know where she's going but I just followed her.

An ice cream parlor.

"What flavor do you want?" she asked.

"Vanilla."
