PS I H8 U!

18. Astonishment

Lisa slumped down on her couch groaning, Rosè following her in a tow. It was three days before the dreaded gala on Saturday night and she still didn't have a dress. They've spent the whole day roaming though the stores looking for perfect dresses. Lisa had trouble finding something for herself, either she didn't like the dresses or they were too expensive. This day proved to be completely fruitless.

"I hate this." She huffed as a small crease found its way between her eyebrows.

"Don't worry, we can go tomorrow again, and we'll find a perfect dress for you." Rosè patted her friend's shoulder reassuringly.

"Mphm ok." Lisa mumbled the response, biting her nail in thought. She rarely did this, biting her nails, but it seemed to help somehow in this situation. She was anxious about this gala, and a bit heartbroken because she knew Jennie would probably look gorgeous and she won't be able to acknowledge her in any way or tell her how beautiful she looks. Even worse, she will see her in Taehyung's arms and that bothered her to no extent. So yes in this situation, somehow, biting her nails helped.

"Why are you acting so strange?" Rosè broke off her train of thoughts. "Is it because of dress? Or maybe because you are going with Jungkook? Are you guys going to be back together?" Rosè bombarded her with questions.

"Umm maybe you want to write all of those questions down?" Lisa attempted to joke to lighten the mood a bit, Chaeyoung just shooting her an incredulous look.

Lisa's phone vibrated signaling she got a new text message. Half expecting it was from Jennie, she quickly unlocked her phone. The text was from Jungkook though. Furrowing her brows in disappointment, she read the text.

I have a surprise for you on Saturday :) was all the text said. Lisa was about to respond when Chaeyoung interrupted her.

"Urgh Lisa, I can sense something is happening with you." Chaeyoung groaned, "I don't understand why won't you talk to me? I'm supposed to be your best friend." Chaeyoung looked at her hard, hurt obvious in her features.

Lisa suddenly felt bad, understanding just what Rosè meant. She was being inconsiderate, and secretive, and didn't spend as much time with Rosè as before. She felt bad but she couldn't tell her her secret, at least not yet.

She scooted closer to her friend on the couch taking her hands in her own, and squeezing them briefly.

"Chipmunk something is happening, but...I can't tell you anything yet. I...please... just bear with me a little longer until I figure some things out and I will tell you. I'm sorry... you are my best friend. Please, will you do that for me?"

Chaeyoung nodded her head slowly after a couple of seconds of silence. She has never seen Lisa behaving like this.

"Do you like, like someone?" her curiosity getting the best of her. Seeing Lisa's face lightening up at the mention of mysterious someone, she knew she has stuck a cord.

Lisa blushed slightly nodding her head shyly. "But I can't tell you...yet."

"Ok, I'll wait, even though I'm super curious who's this mysterious guy." Rosè grinned at her friend.

Lisa shook her head to herself, small smile finding its way on her face as she imagined how shocked Chaeyoung will be when she finds out that it's a girl, and not just any girl but Jennie.

The sound of door ringing cut their conversation short. Lisa opened the door, seeing a man with a long rectangular package in his hands. "Delivery for...uhh Miss Lisa Manoban." he looked at her.

"Yeah, that's me." Lisa said, taking the package from his hands and signing on the little electronic device.

"Thank you." she closed the door, looking curiously at the lid decorated with crimson bow. What is this? I didn't order anything... she scratched her scalp in thought.
