Hate You, Love You. | Jenlisa

"Can you like leave?!" I yell from the water. I'm only in my underwear and I don not want anyone seeing me like this, most especially Lisa. I'm not ashamed of my body or anything, don't get me wrong, but it's just weird having someone see you... you know, like that.

"This is public property, Kim. I'm allowed to be here." I ignore her and continue swimming, but it doesn't mean I don't catch a glimpse of her stripping. She jumps from the rock which I was plopped on minutes ago, and dives straight into the water, splashing water on me in the process.

"Hey, watch it." I warn in a bid to annoy her. "Don't mess up my hair."

She swims a little closer to me and splashed some more water on my face, much to my surprise. "Real mature, Lisa. Real mature."

"Can I ask you something?" She says, her hair dripping wet from the water.

Don't look at her abs.

Don't look at her abs.

Actually stare at her abs.

The slash which I had stitched months ago has faded. If you peer in very closely like I'm doing right now, you'd probably see it. Other than that, it has healed quite nicely.

"How's your, you know." I point to the slash. She traces it with her fingers and sighs. "It's healed now."

I'm still going to find out how you got it in the first place.

"You're an anime fan, right?"

"How do you know that?" I question in both amazement and curiosity. I've never told anyone before, not even Rosé, but yes, I'm an anime fan.

"I follow you on IG. You follow like 50 anime accounts."

It's actually 65, but who is counting?

I raise an eyebrow at her and swim back a little in order to put some healthy distance between us. "You follow me on social media?"

"Yup," she confirms. "Your account is public after all."

Time to change it to private then.

"I'm starting to think you're obsessed with me, Lisa. You know my house address and now you follow me on social? What next?" I clap my hands dramatically and narrow my eyes. "You know my social security, don't you?"

She laughs heartily. "No one knows your social security except for you and the government."

"One can never be too careful."

"Yeah."

We fall into a peaceful silence, both not knowing what to say. I have to admit, this is nice: talking to Lisa without the back and forth and bickering. I never would have pegged her for an anime fan, but life is full of surprises.

Come to think of it, Lisa and I have gotten a bit... closer. I mean, we share the same hotel room so I've picked up on a few things she does; she leaves the toilet seat open, she never sleeps with a shirt on, she's afraid of the dark so we leave the light on at nigh and she never leaves without a particular gold chain around her neck.

We also have a few things in common: we both love music, anime, swimming and have a slight obsession with Maltesers.

Who would've thought that the bad girl and her nemesis will ever have something in common?

"Fairytail or Black Clover?" I ask, breaking the silence. She puts her thumb on her chin and thinks about it for a second. "Definitely Fairytail, no comparison needed."

"Weird, I pegged you to be a Black Clover since you and Asta share some uncanny similarities."

She raises a brow, "How so?"
