FLYING on the clouds. That's what Jungkook feels like. He had a dream last night where Jennie made an appearance. Her angelic face would always put a smile on his face, and when he woke up, he felt as if his heart was free from pain. That's her effect on him. He had a few crushes before, but never as insane as with Jennie Kim.
"Stop staring at Lisa."
"What the⏤" Jungkook's reverie pops the moment Namjoon teases him.
The basketball team finished practicing and is resting on the open field. Jungkook playfully punches Namjoon on his chest. He's been paired with Lisa since the second year. They're just friends and share a few classes. "No, I'm not." It's the truth. He's spacing out and probably unknowingly staring at Lisa while thinking about Jennie.
He hasn't seen her since their first official meeting. However, he heard that Lisa, the cheerleader, is a member of the institute's publishing organization. Jungkook is waiting for the cheer practice to end, hoping to catch up with Bobcat and ask about Jennie. Seems like a good plan, yeah?
Namjoon claps his back twice before he stands and leaves. "Lie all you want. Whatever you say, Starboy."
Why does everyone think he likes Lisa? Those rumors would make their friendship awkward. Besides, he already has a crush. "Lisa, hey! Need some water?" Jungkook offers the woman to catch up to her after the practice.
Lisa's eyes light up, and a grin shows. "Oh, thanks, Jungkook." She takes the offer, opens the lid, and drinks hastily. Jumping, bending, and twirling isn't an easy task to do.
They walk together to the main hall with him, initiating a discussion about their lesson. Lisa responded to everything he said, listening too, though she knew this man had something in mind. "Anything else to add? No favors?"
He bites his lower lip to repress the smile about to break the corner of his lips. Lisa asked him to spill while crossing her arms, pausing in their stroll. "Do you know Jennie Kim?"
She nods thrice, humming after. "Why do you ask?"
The smile he tried to control emerges to brighten his handsome face. He can't bring himself to ask Lisa about a member. Won't it seem weird he's suddenly interested in Jennie? The thought makes him scratch his nose using a finger.
Lisa couldn't take the suspense Jungkook was keeping. His shyness is cute, but she doesn't have all the time in the world to waste with small talk. "You look like a five-year-old. Yes, I know her. She's very sweet and nice. Just say it."
Her grin becomes a naughty smirk. She seems to know why Jungkook was unexpectedly asking about a random woman. His conscience won't stop until he learns more about Jennie and the beauty she possesses.
"I was hoping to get to know her. Do you have her number?"
That's what he's hiding. Lisa's laugh confuses Jungkook. Jennie doesn't have a keypad. She relies on schedules and announcements. Everyone has phones now because it's the trend and keeps the juicy rumors rampant. Maybe that's why the news team isn't selling much.
