Yes or No?

CHAPTER 9

When Lisa and Jennie reached their rooms, they were welcomed by a mess. And Jennie can only curse to herself. Her bed is soaking wet, the sheets, her pillows, everything. She dropped her bag on the floor angrily and watch most of her things destroyed by the water due to heavy rain. She left her window open after she leave this afternoon and this is what it caused her. Her mood instantly switch to annoyance to the weather, but mostly to herself.

Lisa felt the annoyance from the shorter one. And she knows she needs to shut up before anything gets worse. Lisa watched her roommate pick up her things one by one and angrily throwing it to the floor. She was about to step up and help but saw the red line that Jennie made for the both of them. That's her side, Jennie drew the line and clearly she don't want to be invaded by her. Because Jennie, according to what she heard the other day on the bathroom, hates her. The likes of her. Even tho she is not a lesbian.

The Thai watches Jennies' movement. She had to help her somehow without crossing the lines. And so she grab the mop, drying Jennie's floor from the back of the line.

Jennie saw what Lisa is doing, and feeling thankful for the Thai's help. She manage to pull out the sheets and now her mattress. "Fuck." She mumble to herself. "I just bought this last week." She whined while trying to push the mattress to the wall. The thing double its weight as it was soaked and Jennie was struggling to lift it when suddenly the weight turns light and it vanishes from her hands. And when she look beside her, Lisa was already pushing her mattress to the wall. A fresh scent swiftly passes her nose as Lisa passed by her and placed her mattress to the wall. And then she realized, Lisa crosses the line. Her sight landed on the red tape that she placed on the floor serving a mark of their border then back to Lisa who's freely picking up the small pieces of her things to a dry location. Lisa, on her side of the room. She's supposed to feel mad for Lisa crossing the line. She made that border and made it clear that it should not be crossed. But here she is, letting Lisa touch her things. And she doesn't feel anything other than her heart beating hard inside her chest. And even tho it's been a minute now, she can still remember her roommates scent. So refreshing, and addicting.

"Jennie, do you still need anything?" Lisa said, looking at her roommate. "Is there anything I can help you with?" She added. Lisa noticed the immoveable Jennie. She was just looking at her, no emotions at all. Slowly, she back away from the line, returning to her space. She mentally curses herself when her feet drags her to Jennie's side. Lisa can't help but to just lend a hand to a struggling girl, who obviously needed a helping hand. And she's not that bad, even tho she remember how the Korean girl treats her.

Lisa clears her throat, getting the attention of her roommate. Jennie blinks once, twice, before finally returning to herself. "Sorry what was that?"

"Do you need me to do something for you?"

Jennie waves her hand in the air, turning her back, trying to regain her composure. "No, no. You've done enough. Thank you so much for your help Lisa."

Lisa was hesitant. She was waiting for Jennie to lash out on her because she crossed the line, but that didn't happen. "Look I'm sorry if I cross your line. I didn't mean to –"

"No don't mention it. It's no big deal." Jennie cuts her off. Okay.. maybe that's some character development. Lisa simply smile to herself.

Jennie have nowhere to sleep on. Her first option was to go back to her house, but that will take a couple of hours drive to get to there and she has no car. The second, was to crash at Jisoo or Chaeng's room. Maybe she'll choose the second one.

"You can sleep on my bed." Lisa must've sense what Jennie is thinking. Obviously Jennie doesn't have a bed to sleep on. And it's the least Lisa can offer for helping her find her aunt's café.
