Love In Disguise

Chapter 15: The Unspoken Claim

Jisoo walked in, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Ah-ah, looks like I'm interrupting something!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Jennie and Lisa quickly pulled back, their faces flushing with embarrassment. "Jisoo, what the...?" Jennie started to say, but Jisoo just laughed and held up her hands.

"Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt. I just wanted to see if you two were getting along." She winked at them, her eyes glinting with teasing.

Lisa rolled her eyes, trying to hide her disappointment. "We were just...talking," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jisoo raised an eyebrow. "Talking? With your lips almost touching? Okay, sure." She chuckled and shook her head.

As they approached the school entrance, Rosé and Seulgi were waiting for them, curious expressions on their faces. "What's going on?" Rosé asked, eyeing Lisa and Jennie. "You two look like you've seen a ghost."

Lisa shook her head, trying to brush it off. "Nothing, just...dancing."

But Seulgi's eyes narrowed. "Dancing? With that look on your faces? Spill the beans, guys."

Jennie hesitated, then shrugged. "We were just...talking. About stuff."

Rosé raised an eyebrow. "Stuff? That's a pretty vague topic. Come on, Jennie, what's going on?"

Jennie sighed, glancing at Lisa, who shook her head. "Later, guys. Let's just...later."

The group fell silent, sensing that something was off. But as they walked out of the school together, Lisa couldn't shake off the feeling that her friendship with Jennie had just crossed a line...

As they walked, the group's chatter filled the air, but Lisa's mind was still on the moment she shared with Jennie in the dance studio. She couldn't believe how close they had come to kissing. And what did it mean? Was it just a moment of weakness, or was there something more between them?

Jennie, too, seemed lost in thought, her eyes fixed on the ground. Lisa caught her gaze a few times, but Jennie quickly looked away, her cheeks flushing.

When they reached the coffee shop, the group decided to grab a drink before parting ways. As they sat down, Rosé turned to Lisa and whispered, "So, what's going on with you and Jennie? You two were acting weird."

Lisa hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. "We just...had a moment, I guess."

Rosé's eyes widened. "A moment? What kind of moment?"

Lisa leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. "We almost kissed."

Rosé's jaw dropped. "Whoa, that's huge! What did it mean?"

Lisa shrugged. "I don't know. I'm still trying to figure it out."

Just then, Jennie got up to grab a napkin, and her hand brushed against Lisa's. The touch sent shivers down Lisa's spine, and she felt a spark of electricity.

Jennie's eyes met Lisa's, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.

Savoring their meals and each other's company, a sudden whisper in Jennie's ear broke the convivial atmosphere. "Hey babe," the voice said, accompanied by a gentle kiss on Jennie's cheek.

Jennie's eyes widened in surprise as she turned to face the speaker.

Kai stood there, beaming like an idiot, his eyes fixed adoringly on Jennie. (don't fell in his trap)
