Chapter 28:
Jennie POV
I rest my back on the headboard. I can't contain my happiness since she finally revealed a little information about her. I know how prominent and notable she is; that's why she amuses me, and aside from that, Lisa is a little bit naughty. I bit my lower lip when I remembered what happened a few seconds ago.
"Proceed, Ms. Jennie," She said
I'm wondering if this cold-hearted, apathetic, but most gentle and caring person has ever been in love in her entire life, or is she really in love with Min-jun? But why are we doing this?
"First love? "I covered my mouth when I realized that I was asking the most pathetic question. I'm concerned because I don't want to change the atmosphere, but we're already here, and I don't think she'll get offended by that.
I waited for her response, but Lisa didn't talk. The room is filled with darkness, so I can't see her clearly; I can hear her breath. Heavy breath, to be exact.
"Lisa?" I said and tapped her shoulder
"Y-yeah, S-sorry" She said, I could feel that she was startled when I did that.
"Are you okay?" I said gently.
I tried my best to see her clearly but she wiped her cheeks immediately.
"A-are you crying?" I'm hesitant to ask her when I notice that she's wiping her eyes, Lisa pushes me a little and laughs.
"Crying? Nope! There's something itchy in my eyes, but I'm okay now." She said and laughed, I'm not convinced but I nodded at her and agreed. Do I ask her again?
"To answer your question, I've never been in love." She simply said
What does it mean? Does it mean that she didn't love him? Or does it mean she doesn't love me?
"I see." I just said.
Sometimes, there's a question that you need to keep.
"Why did you ask? How about you? Do you love him?" Lisa said and landed her eyes on me, I know what she's talking about, he's referring to Min-jun. I take a deep breath.
"Woah! That's so deep." She said we both chuckled.
"Well, I don't know what love feels like," I said
Then I remember the time when I was abused by my stepfather, how my mother chose my stepfather over me, how my life was when I was a child, and my life when I met him. I look into her eyes and smile bitterly.
"Sad to say, but I'm one of those unfortunate children. I don't have any idea how to be loved and to be in love. None of my parents weren't able to show that. But luckily, Min-jun was there, he helped me a lot, took care of me, and he gave me everything. When I say everything it means literally." I looked down.
"So yeah, maybe at some point, I did love him." I smile and nod at her, I'm waiting for her reaction but Lisa just nods at me and pats my head. I know she's just being empathetic.
"I see." She said
She's giving me a blank stare that gives me confusion. Are you jealous or not? Urgh, she didn't even care when I told her that. So annoying.
I roll my eyes at her
"Do you still love him?" She asks, which makes me question myself even more. Do I still love him? Is it possible to love more than one person?
Forget it
"Hey! It's not about me, okay? I'm asking you a question. You're so unfair." I said while pouting and tapping her shoulder, Lisa laughed at me and pinched my cheeks.
