The Promised [Jenlisa FF]

Part 4

Jisoo had been looking for Jennie for a good half hour. She had caught site of her about twenty minutes ago, but by the time she threaded herself through the crowd, she was gone again. Dejectedly, she went to sit on the stairs out front, needing some air, and wondered what she was going to do. Tears began to roll down her cheeks. She couldn't believe she had said that to Jennie. It was all because her friend had hit a nerve. She was a little of jealous of Jennie. Jennie was the popular one.

Having been her best friend all their life had not been easy. Every time they went somewhere, even when they were little, Jisoo might as well have been invisible. It was always, "Oh, Jennie, you're such a pretty little girl." When people had noticed her, all she got was "My, look at all that red hair." It really was depressing. And it just got worse, the older they got. Rosé had been the only girl who had ever been able to look past Jennie and see Jisoo standing there.

But she really didn't begrudge Jennie her beauty, it wasn't like she couldn't help it. And she was proud to be seen with her. Hell, she loved Jennie like a sister, and was glad that everyone thought she was beautiful. Jennie had just hit a little too close to her green-eyed monster tonight, that was all.

Feeling a hand on her shoulder, Jisoo looked up. Shocked, she stood up and wiped her eyes. "Lisa, what, w-what are you doing here?"

"John, one of my friends, is a member of this frat house. He invited me. I think the better question is what are you doing here? I thought you were going to go to a party with Jennie."

"I am, and here we are. At least, here I am. I'm not sure about Jennie."

Lisa gave her a concerned look. "What do you mean, you're not sure? Didn't she come with you?"

Starting to cry again, Jisoo nodded.

Frantically, Lisa grabbed Jisoo by the shoulders, looking into her eyes. "Jisoo, what the hell is wrong? Where's Jennie, and why are you crying?"

"Lisa, I can't find her. And she's," hiccupping she continued through her tears, "she's been drinking, and she doesn't drink. And she's kissing all over this guy, and he likes to, you know, pick up women, and stuff. And we got into this fight, and I don't know where she is."

"Come on, Jisoo. We'll find her together. She's got to be here somewhere." Lisa wrapped her arm around Jisoo's shoulder, leading her back into the house.

Mino had talked her into coming upstairs to one of the empty bedrooms. They had started off talking, and then he had kissed her. Now they were lying on the bed, engaged in a heavy make out session. Starting to feel a little lightheaded, she pushed him off, "Mino, I need to sit up. The bed is starting to spin."

Grabbing her around the waist, Mino let her sit up for a few minutes, and then began to kiss the back of her neck. "Come on, Jennie. Just let it go. You like me, I like you, so let me show you how much." Pulling her back down, Jennie kissed him back. His hands were roaming down her waist and up under her skimpy shirt, massaging her naked flesh. It felt really good, and Jennie couldn't find it in her to object. Until he moved her hand up her skirt and pressed his fingers against her. No one had ever done that before, and she wasn't up to having it happen tonight, when she couldn't seem to even focus her eyes.

Downstairs, Lisa was making a room-by-room search, looking for Jennie. She and Jisoo were checking every nook and cranny, trying to find out where she went. "Jisoo, tell me the truth," Lisa asked, "Could she be upstairs?"

"No, Lisa, Jennie's not that kind of girl. At least, she wasn't before tonight. But, well, with the fight we had, and with the drinking... Oh, Lisa, we have to stop her. If she's up there with Mino, she's going to make a big mistake." Turning toward the stairs, Jisoo had to follow Lisa, because she was two steps ahead of her.
