"Lisa, I'm really sorry to bother you." Jennie came rushing at the parking lot.
"It's fine. I have to get something done as well." Lisa comforted her.
"I will really make sure that your overtime pay will be credited to the sonnest cutoff." Jennie wiped her forehead.
"Don't mention it, Jen. I need to get busy as well." Lisa said. She opened Jennie's car door.
"Why? is there something wrong? Because I'm sure this is not the job that you want. I remembered you telling me that you're only passionate about not starving." Jennie stopped in her trance. Lisa smiled a little.
"Nothing."
"Lisa, we've been working for how many months together. On top of that, we have coffee hangouts where I presented my life to you like an open book. Of course, you can open up to me." Jennie said sincerely.
"You're right. It's nothing though. I didn't want to waste your ti-"
"Lisa. What did I just say?" Jennie cut her off. At times like this, Lisa can see some of the similarities between Jennie and Irene.
"We have to finish this, manager-nim." Lisa chose to say. She raised the black folder infront of Jennie. The latter sighed exhaustingly.
"Lisa, tell me what's wrong or we won't go out of here." Jennie said sternly.
Lisa sighed heavily. She didn't want to open this up with Jennie but she also felt the need to share it with someone.
"I'm not quite sure if I like someone else romantically." Lisa started. She sat down at the gutter.
"I mean- before I can even know, I stopped it. I put an end on it."
"That someone is a little bit complicated because I grew up having a relationship with her as someone I care about as a family. I didn't know where it started to change from platonic to- Shit. I should just be plainly honest. Maybe I like her since I was a kid."
"I grew up looking up to her. But- she, she saw me as a kid even until now. I'm the same kid she used to take care of. I got adopted, I grew up, a lot of things had changed."
"But she still saw me as a little sister." Lisa facepalmed.
"Is she the reason why you pushed me away when I tried to kiss you? The time when I was severely drunk?" Jennie asked carefully.
"I guess." Lisa shrugged.
Jennie chuckled.
"What's stopping you? As long as this isn't incest-"
"Of course not!" Lisa whined. It made Jennie laugh harder.
"She's already dating someone-maybe. Last time I heard they were going out. I pushed her into dating someone, and now I am whining here. I am so stupid." Lisa clenched her jaw.
"You are." Jennie agreed.
"What if she likes you back?" Jennie asked.
"How I am supposed to know? But I guess not- she wouldn't be dating a guy if she likes me as well." Lisa gulped hard.
"Exactly. You didn't know."
"I'm too late."
"What do you want to hear from me, Lisa? Words of encouragement or something to demotivate you?" Jennie rolled her eyes.
"I don't know."
"God, even for once, know what you want!" Jennie hissed.
"Encouragement." Lisa answered.
