Hate You, Love You. | Jenlisa

35

This is not what I call a 'little thing'.

It's a big thing.

A ginormous thing.

And it's being held at the Kim's Mansion. I expected teenagers, booze and dancing, I just didn't expect an overflow of teenagers. When Jisoo said little, I thought she meant 5 or 6 people, not the whole fucking school!

Rosé was all too eager to attend this party once I told her that Jisoo wanted her to be my plus one. The night before, Jisoo sent the location to her house along with the time and here we are. I thought Rosé's house was huge, but Jisoo's takes the cake.

The property sprawls on an expanse of land, artificial grass surrounding the area. It looks like a medieval mansion, something carved straight out of the 1920s. Brick walls, shale roofing and an impressive layout. The exterior is really impressive and the size of the property is quite intimidating.

I guess her parents are into the whole Lord of the Manor thing.

The first thing I notice is the glistening pool which is already occupied by teenagers playing some sort of game with a water gun and booze.

"This house is amazing," Rosé exclaims with wonder in her eyes. She opted for jeans shorts and a white crop top with Adidas sneakers. She even went as far as cutting her blonde hair a little shorter. A dramatic change for a party, I know.

Usually, girls go through that sort of dramatic change when they just broke up with someone, but she swore on her life she wanted to look 'different' but I could tell who she did it for and her name starts with J.

I, on the other hand, opted for a cute white floral ruffle dress with a modest V neckline. The length is a little shorter than what I'm used to but her, it's a party and it shoes my legs off very well.

I opted for putting my hair down with a blue headband. My feet are clad in baby blue heels and it really puts my whole look together. The goal was cute, sexy but not trashy and I think I pulled it off.

"I agree." Hand in hand, Rosé and I pad the cobblestone floors and into the entrance of the mansion. Loud music playing Money by Lalisa blasts through the speakers; red cups filled with alcohol seems to be a prominent feature in the hands of almost all attendees as some dance or sway to the music, while others talk to their friends in circles.

I see a familiar face in a floral shirt and pants from the corner of my eye talking to Seulgi and I point towards her direction. She turns to me, eyes filled with panic.

I almost laugh because this is the first time I'm seeing Rosé nervous to talk to or approach someone. Usually, she prides herself as the kind that can get anyone she wants, and she can.

"Oh my God, Jen. What do I do?" She dramatically brushes her hands over her new haircut. "Do you think she'll like my new hair? I–"

"I knew the dramatic chop was for Jisoo."

"Besides the point, Jen. I don't know how to approach her. What do I say?"

I rest my hand on her shoulder. "You're Roseanne Park. You'll know what to say, trust me."

"Jisoo!" I yell over the loud music while waving my hands. She sees us and smiles. Excusing herself, she makes her way over and Rosé gives me a look as if yo say: 'Are you fucking nuts?'

Am I nuts? Definitely, but this time I mean well. Since Rosé is afraid to approach her, and she really likes her, then why not wave her over here? Saves her the trouble of going to her and saves her the awkwardness of talking to her while Seulgi is present.

Besides, I made a promise and I intend to keep it. If this is my best friend's shot at getting a girlfriend (there were others before that, but who cares?) then you best believe I would not mess it up for her.
