"The meeting went unexpectedly smooth, even with you here," Jisoo said.
He squeezed her hand a bit and added, "My thoughts exactly. But the competitions won't be as smooth."
She dug her nails into his hand, too bad she had cut them recently. "Took t...

It was lunchtime when Jisoo and Jennie were approached by Lisa and Rose. "Jennie likes Kim Taehyung right?" Lisa blurted out, catching both Jisoo and Jennie off guard. Jennie practically choked on her food, beside her Jisoo maintained a poker face and denied it.
"Where did you hear that nonsense?" Jisoo responded smoothly, her tone confident
"Jennie, we know," Rose said looking at Jennie. "We saw the doodles in your diary," Lisa shared, her tone apologetic as she glanced at Jennie. "Which I am sorry for," she added quickly, sensing the tension in the air.
"Yes, it's true. I like him," she admitted, her voice vulnerable.
Lisa and Rose exchanged a knowing look before taking the vacant seats across from Jisoo and Jennie. "So are you gonna confess?" Lisa questioned, her curiosity evident.
Jennie hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. "No, I'd rather not," she replied softly, a hint of sadness in her voice.
"But why?" Lisa pressed.
Jisoo stepped in before Jennie could respond, her tone firm. "Like you don't know the rules."
Lisa rolled her eyes in response. "Oh," she couldn't be any less bothered by the rules the school imposed on them. "But I have to admit, you two would make a cute couple," she added with a mischievous grin, nudging Rose to agree, which she did with a nod.
Jennie simply smiled at the conversation, while Jisoo observed the whole exchange.
"Are you sure you don't want to give it a try?" Lisa asked Jennie, her expression knowing. "It's not such a bad idea," she continued, noting the looks from Rose and Jisoo.
"And why do you think that, Miss Lisa Manoban?" Jisoo questioned.
"Well, A, it's fun to break the rules, and B, it might help you get those feelings out so later you can move on. Unrequited love lasts if not confessed," Lisa explained, holding up two fingers to emphasize her points.
"What if he shows it to a teacher?" Rose voiced her concerns.
"Well duh, we'll text him on Instagram, there's a very useful feature called 'unsend'," she explained matter-of-factly as if it were the most obvious solution.
Jisoo watched the conversation unfold, unable to choose between her loyalty to the rules or her desire to see her friend happy.
And as Jennie hesitated, contemplating Lisa's suggestion. "Should I?" Jennie finally asked, her voice uncertain as she looked at her friends. Jisoo looks at her, surprised.
Lisa's eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes! Of course, you should!" she said enthusiastically.
Rose looked on, surprised by Jennie's question. "Did Lisa just bewitch Jennie or what?" she remarked.
"There could be serious consequences if things don't go as planned," Jisoo interjected, her voice gentle but firm.
"I get where you're coming from, Jisoo," she admitted, her tone more thoughtful now. "But sometimes, taking a risk is the only way to truly find out what you want. And who knows, maybe it'll all work out in the end."
Jennie's gaze shifted to Jisoo. "Jisoo if you say I shouldn't do it, I won't," she said earnestly, her eyes expressing her desire for Jisoo's approval.
Jisoo felt torn. On one hand, she understood Jennie's desire to take a chance on love. On the other hand, she couldn't ignore the risks involved in defying the school's rules.
After a moment of hesitation, Jisoo sighed. "Okay," she said softly, offering her support despite her worries.
Lisa couldn't contain her excitement, silently cheering at Jisoo's approval. Jennie immediately pulled her into a hug, grateful for her understanding and support, even though Jisoo held the position of head girl.
"But, like Lisa explained you have to unsend your text messages after confessing and no one except for us should know." Jisoo reminded Jennie.
"Don't you worry! Nothing will go wrong," Lisa reassured them with a wave of her hand and a wide grin.
"But I don't have his Instagram," Jennie said breaking the hug.
"What do you mean!? You didn't stalk him!" Rose exclaimed like that's the most obvious thing to do.
"No! That's weird," Jennie defended herself.
"Rose, she's new to this. Let's cut her some slack. I'll get that Instagram handle for you. Don't worry," Lisa interjected, blowing Jennie a kiss.
'Why do I have a bad feeling about this' Jisoo sighed inwardly.
