The Elites (Lisrene)

Part 11

LISA

A hug is a simple yet profound gesture of love, care, and connection between individuals. It transcends words and offers a sense of comfort and warmth that can heal emotional wounds and strengthen bonds. A hug can speak volumes without uttering a single word as it communicates empathy, understanding, and acceptance. It is a universal language that knows no boundaries and can be shared amongst people.

Hug. A hug. Just a one long warm hug. That is all I want. A hug where a person lets me cry on her shoulder for as long as I need to. A hug where it feels like the whole world disappears and nothing else exist. A hug that can fix my worries and makes me feel safe and comfortable.

As I gently wrap my arms around Joohyun, a wave of tranquility washes over me. The warmth of her presence and the comforting embrace create a sanctuary where all my worries seem to dissipate. In this moment, time stands still and I am enveloped in a sense of serenity that permeates every fiber of my being. This is the hug I badly needed.

While I close my eyes and rest my chin gently on Joohyun's shoulders, a sense of serenity envelops me. The world around us fades away and I am transported to a place of quiet intimacy and comfort. Her warmth and the softness of her embrace provide a sanctuary where I can escape the stresses of my life. In this moment, I am at peace feeling a deep sense of connection with her. The gentle rise and fall of her breath, the subtle scent of her hair, and the reassuring strength of her presence all contribute to a feeling of security and contentment.

"Thank you." I uttered as I hold her tighter, afraid that she might release herself from the hug.

"Don't think of anything, Lisa. I will not let you down." She answered that made me smile. Her voice is sweet and it's like a melody. This is her other side, she may appear grumpy most of time but lies beneath is a very caring person. I felt that since the first time we encounter in Paris.

Joohyun and I make our way together towards the student council room. I still have a week left for my one month punishment, and I honestly, I don't want it come into end. I am enjoying myself being closer to Joohyun, just the two of us without people that can possibly interrupt us.

As we enter the student council room, we were greeted with a puzzled look from Krystal. She is the student's vice president, and yes, another ice princess. The effect of Zeus water probably.

"I am here for my punishment, Ms. Jung." I smiled at her but she just twitched her eyebrow and she shifted her gaze towards Joohyun.

"I saw her outside, I just let her in." Joohyun is on her default serious mode again. She is the complete definition of girls nature. (Girls' nature often exhibits a unique emotional spectrum characterized by their ability to shift moods swiftly.)

"Since you were here, I need to go. My parents wanted me to have dinner with them tonight." Krystal fixed her belongings and she glanced at me like she is giving me a warning not to do anything stupid. "Bye, Hyunie." She took her stuffs and lightly swing her sling bag that almost hit my face.

"You're not planning to hurt me, are you?" I boldly asked her.

"Don't take it personal, Lisa Manoban." She smirk before walking outside.

"You trained your friends well." I turn to Joohyun and she just glare at me. "You're not going to throw that trophy again, right?" I assure her because the last time, it hits me really hard.

"I am, if you will going to annoy me again." She rolled her eyes that made me smile. "What are you smiling for?." She raised her eyebrow.

"Well, you're acting like you didn't hug me earlier." I teased her and I caught her turn into red. "Red suits your face, Ms. Bae." I smiled at her cunningly.
