"She's not picking up her phone."
Jennie's words fall on deaf ears. She glances at her friends only to see them absorbed in the movie they had put on. Although absorbed in each other is more like it.
"Should I go get her?" Jennie asks, slightly louder this time.
"She did say she'll come here herself," Jisoo says. "She's probably still driving."
Jennie stands in Rose's living room balcony, looking down at the streets below, while the two lounge on the sofa.
"You guys better have food because it was such a chore finding a parking space."
Jennie, Rose and Jisoo whirl around at the sound of Lisa's voice to find the blonde standing in the doorway, still in her work uniform, an overnight bag slung on her shoulder.
Jisoo wolf-whistles. "Hey!"
"How did you get in?!" Rose asks in shock.
"Why weren't you answering your phone?" Jennie adds.
"Kind of a long story," Lisa sighs, letting herself in and closing the door behind her. "Also, you clearly forgot to lock this."
"Jennie!" Rose snaps. She shoots Lisa a grateful look as the girl locks the door.
"Oh, shit," Jennie sighs, remembering she was the last one to come in, after a quick trip to the convenience store for snacks. "My bad."
"Are you cold?" she asks the blonde, who was kicking off her shoes.
"I'm okay, I brought a—"
"Come on, I'll let you borrow some clothes," Jennie grabs the girl's wrist and leads her into a small spare room.
"Jennie?" Lisa says questioningly as the brunette rummages in her overnight bag on top of an old bed.
"Here," Jennie hands her one of her oversized Stüssy shirts and sits down on the mattress.
"Thanks, but..." Lisa trails off, clutching the shirt to her chest, "are you alright?"
"Yeah," Jennie says quietly, "I just can't take the... tension... between those two."
Lisa stares at her in shock, whispering, "Wait, what?"
"It's been torture being alone with them," Jennie mutters.
"Oh my God, really?" the blonde breathes out an incredulous laugh. "I mean, I saw it coming, but..."
"I know."
She tries to be cool and collected as Lisa changes out of her uniform right in front of her, torn between watching to her eyes' content and respectfully looking away. She decides on just looking at her face.
"What are you guys doing?"
Jennie's eyes flit to the door and Lisa cranes her neck to see Rose peering into the room.
"Just changing," the blonde says plainly as she pulls Jennie's shirt on.
"Right, sorry," Rose says with an apologetic grin as she leaves.
"Thanks for helping me out earlier, by the way," Jennie says as Lisa folds her discarded clothes and puts them in her own bag. "I'd probably still be working on that essay if it weren't for you."
Lisa leans over the brunette as she places her own bag on top of the bed. "Don't worry about it."
Jennie stands, coming up face to face with Lisa. "Let's go."
The girl smiles in response and they walk out into the living room, where Rose and Jisoo are cuddled up on the couch talking amongst themselves.
Jennie and Lisa share a knowing look; the brunette rolls her eyes at the blonde's excited face.
