I Hate U | Jenlisa

Chapter 44

"Why are you sulking?"

Rosé asked with amusement as she plopped down on the couch with a large bowl of potato chips right next to Lisa, who was curled up in a blanket nibbling on a chocolate bar. She looked at the screen for a few seconds.

"And what are you watching?"

"Dopesick. And I'm not sulking."

Rosé laughed.

"You're not sulking? Are you sure? You're wearing your yellow hoodie."

"It's my favorite hoodie!"

"And you're wrapped up in a blanket. Are you a burrito or what? ...Wow, now I'm hungry.",

Rosé mumbled and quickly stuffed a handful of chips into her mouth.
Lisa squinted her eyes at her.

"It's cold and the blanket is cozy."

"It's raining outside, but it's not cold Lisa. Besides, you seem to be in a bad mood. So again, why are you sulking?"

Lisa hesitated a little longer, but only shrugged.

"I'm bored."

"You're watching a series. And you're eating. How can you be bored?",

Rosé asked as she stole some chocolate from Lisa. Lisa ignored it, and Rosé paused in her movement while a broad smile appeared on her lips.

"You're in a bad mood because you're not spending the weekend with Jennie."

she stated.
When Lisa didn't immediately object, the blonde girl grinned triumphantly.

"So you are! Why didn't you ask her if you wanted to meet up?",

she asked curiously.
Lisa shrugged again and pulled the blanket up higher to hide behind it.

"It's complicated."

"I'm quite patient. Take your time explaining.",

Rosé replied with a smile.
Lisa sighed softly.

"I... accidentally kissed her, right?"

"You know that better than I do, but since Jisoo mentioned it too, I'm guessing you're right. But I'm glad you told me too.",

Rosé said laughing.
Lisa cleared her throat, embarrassed.

"Right... okay. And... eh, on Thursday..."

"When you tried to save Jennie without thinking about that the police would be quicker than you because a nearby patrol could be informed?"

Lisa blushed and sank into the couch a little.

"Right. Anyways... It's possible that Jennie thought I was using her to humiliate her..."

It was Rosé who blushed this time. This was definitely her fault, and she should definitely have told the story differently.
Lisa continued to speak.

"And therefore said something to me, but I'm not quite sure what it means..."

Rosé smiled gently, encouraging Lisa to continue with a nod.

"I'm listening.",

she assured her.
Lisa bit her lip and looked at her best friend uncertainly.

"If... Rosé, if she said that I broke her heart... does it mean she has feelings for me?",

Rosé's eyes widened and for a moment she was at a loss for words. Then she began to grin so broadly that Lisa was sure she must be getting sore muscles from that alone.
