Lisa was afraid of Jungkook's "strawberry" offensive, and had avoided him for several days, not daring to be alone with him. Even when they walked together, if things went slightly awry, she would hurry off.
At dusk, Lisa was having dinner with her roommates in the cafeteria, and happened to run into Qu Xuan Xuan.
Qu Xuan Xuan was wearing a pink dress, with her smooth long hair draped over her shoulders.
Facing her rival, Momo naturally did not have a good expression. She tidied her hair and began carrying herself with composure. Even her eating became dainty bites. She was like a little porcupine with all its quills raised, fully armed and focused on the enemy.
Lisa greeted Qu Xuan Xuan, who simply brought her tray over and sat down next to them.
On her tray were two sweet potatoes and a plate of boiled cabbage.
Lisa asked, "Are you only eating this for dinner, senior sister?"
"I've been on a diet all this time, I have no choice."
"But senior sister, you're already so slim, you don't need to diet."
"No, I'm almost 90 pounds now, I have to control it."
Upon hearing this, Momo set her fried fish fillet back down with her chopsticks.
She had lost her appetite for this meal.
The girls exchanged glances. Since no one felt like eating anymore, they might as well leave quickly.
But just then, Qu Xuan Xuan received a phone call—
"I'm still eating."
"Okay, see you later."
"I know, I'll take a walk and come by afterwards."
Her voice was melodious, her standard Mandarin contained some coquettish tones.
After hanging up, Qu Xuan Xuan smiled at everyone and said, "That was your Coach Mingyu."
Upon hearing this, Momo dropped her chopsticks to the floor.
An awkward silence lasted for several seconds.
Lisa picked up Momo's chopsticks and quickly defused the situation, "You've dropped your chopsticks so many times today, just like a child. Can't you eat properly?"
Momo found it very difficult to keep pretending that nothing mattered. She looked at Qu Xuan Xuan and asked, "Are you two together?"
"No, what are you thinking? He asked me to go jogging at night. I've been too busy these past few days to make time. Now that I'm finally free, I agreed to exercise with him."
Under the table, Lisa squeezed Momo's hand. It felt icy cold, and sweat had already oozed out of her palm.
"Senior sister, we can all see that Coach Mingyu likes you." Miyeon was a straightforward girl and just decided to bring everything into the open today: "Senior sister, what do you think?"
Qu Xuan Xuan smiled, "Oh my, you're thinking too much. He just asked me to go jogging, nothing else."
Lisa gently patted the back of Momo's hand. Momo understood her meaning—
You can never wake someone pretending to sleep.
The undercurrents between the girls remained hidden beneath the sweetest, most proper smiles.
They did not pursue the matter further. After all, Qu Xuan Xuan had not done anything wrong. She was the one being pursued and had the right to choose.
