You Got Me (JenLisa)

Chapter 18

"So, Jennie. What do you do?" A-yeon asked after five bottles of beer and all the inhibitions were gone.

They were sitting around the three tables they gathered together in the middle of the floor, to accomodate all the ten of them.

There was Jisoo and Jennie, sitting beside each other, feeling slightly intimidated and out of place, Jisoo most especially. And then there was Lisa who was sitting cozily beside Jennie, and both couldn't keep their hands to themselves. They would either lazily touch each other's hairs or Lisa would drape her arm on Jennie's shoulders and Jennie would automatically rest her head on Lisa's shoulder. There were times when they would held hands under the table and would then exchange lazy smiles.

Chaeyoung, meanwhile, was sitting across Lisa, silent and observing, taking occassional swigs on her own bottle, her eyes were somewhat droopy. She was seated between Chahee and Jiyeon, and both were still not over the fact that Jennie was sitting with them at the wee hour, drinking with them and tagging along a friend who was equally pretty and intimidating. Jiyeon have been staring at Jisoo because she still could not fathom how someone could be as mind-blowingly beautiful as Jisoo.

Then there were Chaeyoung's bandmates--A-yeon, the outrageous drunken master, Ji-In, the silent drunk type and Jin-Ah, who couldn't stop humming and singing classical piano pieces. They were eyeing at the two new additional company with curiosity and were particularly eyeing with Jennie and how she was slightly leaning her body towards Lisa and would then sneak a peek at Chaeyoung and how their redhead friend would react to it.

The body language of Lisa and Jennie obviously spoke volumes, the three of them agreed in silence. There was tension between Jennie and Lisa and it was emitting through their stares and the way they gravitate towards each other. Like, each of them would adjust to the slight motion of the other, to compliment each other's movements. They'd have been squealing and teasing the two about it, but Chaeyoung was their friend and they knew exactly what Chaeyoung was going through at the moment.

"Oh, for god's sake, A-yeon! You can ask Jennie anything other than that. What she does should never be our business to deal with. Seriously!" said Jin-Ah with her eyes closed, who was getting drunk every passing minute. She was humming an old Mozart tune.

It was already almost four in the morning. The Orange closed at two. Jisoo and Jennie stayed, albeit Jisoo's persistent refusal, because A-yeon insisted and everyone agreed, including Chaeyoung although hesitantly, and because Jennie didn't really want to leave just yet because of Lisa. She wanted to spend more time with her.

"You don't have to answer that, Jennie," Chahee butted in gently, sounding almost motherly, which earned her a stern look from Chaeyoung.

"What?" A-yeon mumbled. "I just want to know Jennie better, you know, since she's going out with our Lisa and--,"

"Oh, no. Lisa and I aren't dating..." Jennie went crimson in the face.

"--yet, officially," Jisoo interjected drearily.

"--and Lisa is our friend and it's imperative that we should know the kind of person Lisa is hanging out with. Right?" The drunk A-yeon continued, slurring on her words.

"Well, I'm a...a...I'm the--," Jennie started with a stammer but Jisoo cut her off.

"Jendeuk's private life should never be anybody's business unless she wants to," Jisoo interferred yet again, sounding bored. She had been stiff and acting distant and reserved all night, eversince she and Chaeyoung had a tensed exchange of unfriendly conversation few hours ago.

"What are you? Her spokesperson?" Chaeyoung mocked. Hostility was still on her voice. And because she was too drunk to even act civilly.

Chaeyoung Park had been eyeing Jisoo Kim with obvious dislike. Half of the reason behind it was that she, too, could not deny the fact that Jennie and Lisa were acting all cozy and soft all night. It's as though they were on their own little world right in front of them. Flirting right in front of her. It was a sickening sight, according to her clouded judgement.
