"It's so hard to pretend to be friends with someone special when every time you look at the person, all you see is everything you want to have."
Taehyung and Lisa are roommates in college. They don't know each other for long, but Taehyung knows his...
"Wait, you mean him and Yuqi are back together?" Jennie asked as she scratched her chin in confusion. "That's just purely fucked up. He doesn't even like her, he likes you!"
"Oh, really?!" I replied sarcastically as I shook my head in slight desperation. "I thought you said earlier that he preferred her!"
"Well, I was just trying to pull you away from the idea of dating him because I just don't like him!" Jennie argued back. "He is a character with a pretty shitty personality, he's very self-absorbed and likes to make fun of others. You don't need such a person in your life, how many fucking times do I have to tell you that, Lisa?!"
"He does not have a shitty personality, Jennie", I sighed deeply. "He only makes fun of you because you guys like to provoke each other, and that's how a continuous war is on between you. But he is a great friend to me."
"Ha, see?!" Jennie's energy went back on. "You just said it yourself. He is a great friend. You don't need him as a boyfriend."
I sighed deeply a second time and randomly started rubbing my left eye slowly, not saying anything as I didn't know what to.
"Okay, fine, I'll try to be understanding", Jennie sighed along as she sat back on the couch next to me and put a protective, sister-like arm around me. "Are you sad about it?"
"Well..." I tried to speak, but she cut me off with another question.
"Do you have feelings for him?"
"I don't think I do", I said, and kept sighing consistently. "I...don't feel sad, nor guilty or anything like that. I just...don't like Yuqi."
"Great then, that's the right decision", Jennie encouraged me with her warm smile. "Now, let's watch The Flash, we're behind on a few episodes and you know that."

A few hours later, Jennie and I were still on the couch watching The Flash. It was a lot past midnight - I checked my phone, 1:43.
"Ah, I can't get enough of this show", Jennie said with a satisfied smile, not looking sleepy at all. "This actor is so hot."
"I know, right?! I love it too", I agreed with her.
As we continued watching the show, my phone buzzed on the table, causing a loud sound a little something like a fart.
"That scared me", Jennie giggled.
I smiled at her and reached for the table, picking up my phone and turning it upside down to check it. I was somehow surprised for some reason, but it was Jisoo.

"Jennie, Jisoo wants to meet up on the balcony, and I already told her I'm going", I sighed as I got up from the couch and prepared to go. "Well, not like I could refuse her insistency, but still. Do you wanna go with me?"
