Lisa's Naughty Hands

Chapter 5: Cheating On You

Jennie POV

After I left the clinic, I went to my classes right away, and even though I was not feeling well, I still managed to finish my last two classes. I don't want my grades to be affected by my negligence. Maybe because I am ranked 1 in all second-year levels, I need to maintain good grades. And right now I am waiting for Tae to fetch me to my class because we will have our family dinner.

Honestly, every day I am so tired and occupied with the expectations of the people around me. I need to maintain a good impression because I don't want them to be disappointed by me, but this is my fault in the first place. I am just overwhelmed by their applause and how proud they are of me. So I am living my life regardless of what other people may think. That puts so much pressure on me.

Tae and I arrived first at the restaurant; we are just waiting on the arrival of our parents. While we are waiting, I am thinking about my score on my quiz earlier. What if I wrote the wrong answer? I am irritated with my professor because she needs to surprise us with a quiz.

Babe, our parents are here now.

I am so occupied that I am not aware that our parents have already arrived. Jisoo is with them. She is Tae's twin, and she is very opposite to him. Jisoo is an excellent student and a good daughter. She is a rank 1 at the third-year level. Sometimes I feel that she is competing with me in many things, or maybe not, she is just good at everything she does.

Tae and I stand up and kiss them on the cheek. My parents are very close to my parents. They have a strong and loyal bond. That's why even me and Tae need to be intact. We were already engaged last year. The perks of having a hierarchy tradition: Rich people don't like their kingdom not reigning.

But if I conclude my life right now,
It is so fucking BORING! BORING! BORING. And the first time that I laughed so hard again was just today, when I encountered that woman. Hayts!

We are starting to eat now. Tae, Jisoo, and I are so stiff while we are eating because we are eating with no sound. We need to be modest and proper. But little do our parents know that we are the opposite when they are not around.
They are continuing to talk and laugh about their businesses. While the three of us listened and always smiled, even though the conversation was not sensible to us. Why do I say it? Because I can sense Tae moving her legs and tapping her feet under the table. Jisoo counted the drops of water on the side of the glass.

I stop thinking when Tae whispers something to me.

T: Let's get outside.

I nod to him because I am so suffocated by our parents' presence.

T: Mom, Dad, Jennie, and I will just go outside.

I could sense Tae's father's aura after he said that.

Taeyang: Ok, but answer my question first. Your professor called me earlier.

T: What is it, Dad?

Taeyang: You have been absent for two days.

I am shocked because Tae ditched class again.

T: Yes, about that, Dad. My ID was stolen, so I cannot access it to go to my classes.

We are so surprised by what he is saying.

Dara: Jennie, you don't know about this? My mom said.

J: Tae didn't tell me about it, Mom.

Taeyang: Do you know who stole it, son?

T: Yes, Dad. But don't worry; I can handle this thing.

Taeyang: How? Don't tell me you are causing trouble again. Don't put our name to shame again.
And you don't know about this thing, Jisoo?
