To Capture A Heart

Lisa couldn't believe she saw her again. Dee jinxed her for sure, but she'd handled it like a pro. There was so much she wanted to say to Jennie. Well, she wanted to punch her, then she wanted to give her a piece of her mind. 

It would be her luck that her new gym came with new bullshit. 

She'd initially loved this gym because they offered dance classes and Lisa loved moving her body to all genres of music. Now, she had to worry about fucking Jennie Kim.

Of all people, why her?

Actually, it could have been worse. It could have been Irene. She hated that bitch most of all.

In the grand scheme of things Jennie was probably the best one to run into. On a scale of 1 to torture, Jennie only ever called her names. She didn't physically harm her like Irene or Jisoo. Rosé was more of a follower too. Yeah, Irene was the worst.

It'd been two days since the fated meet up in the locker room, and she'd seen Jennie both of those times. She could feel her eyes watching her. Every move Lisa made, Jennie followed. But, she remained a distance away at all times to respect Lisa.

There was also another elephant in the room...Jennie Kim was gay.

Lisa had forgotten that the night she saw Jennie for the first time was at a lesbian bar. Go figure!

Even though Lisa hadn't come out in school until they forced her out, people still called her a lesbian. She never denied it. She remembered fondly Jennie Kim calling her a dyke as she walked past their table to sit by herself at lunch almost daily. Her friends would laugh, and Lisa would shrink even lower. No one knew how many times she wanted to end it all. And the craziest part was, they weren't exactly that popular. The actual top of the food chain in terms of popularity never batted an eye at Lisa. It was only those four.

Why? Well, she was sure it was because of Irene's influence. She'd always had it out for Lisa because she was weak. But it got worse as they got older. Junior year took the cake. One thing is for sure, she knew Irene hated her the most because she too was sleeping with Seulgi. 

Seulgi told her one evening after they'd finished hooking up. They were a secret obviously. She wasn't out either but somehow she was able to put two and two together about Lisa. She approached her after school one day. Lisa would go running in the evenings to try to combat her obesity. Seulgi would finish her practice at the same time and the two would see each other in the showers.

They began talking, just small pleasantries at first. Lisa would hide in the stall until she heard Seulgi leave. But then one day, that changed. Seulgi wouldn't leave. In fact, she began waiting around for Lisa. She started giving Lisa rides home, then they started texting each other here and there. No one knew about this and they liked it that way. So when Seulgi figured out what Lisa was hiding about herself, she decided to act on it. It was mainly out of pity because she saw how the girl was bullied on the daily. But it was also out of selfishness, because Seulgi preyed on her weakness, just in a different way. In a sense she was no better than anyone else at that school because she didn't want people to know they were friends.

They began experimenting with each other. Seulgi initiating it when she walked into the stall with Lisa. The poor girl was so embarrassed of the way her body looked. Seulgi would tell her she was beautiful, because she was. She really was a pretty girl.

Things just went from there.

"If I tell you something, you can't tell a soul." Seulgi looked Lisa dead in her eyes.
