RUBY OVER MONEY (JENLISA)

Chapter 7

Jennie's POV

~Don't know what to do without you!

We were startled by the sudden ringtone that came from my phone beside me. I cant believe that we almost kissed! What have I've been thinking?? Right I wasn't thinking when I saw those plump lips inviting me to taste them. Stop! You stupid mind don't fantasize it anymore. I saw Lisa looked at the caller and if eyes could kill the caller would've died already seeing her deep in rage I curiously looked at the caller ID it was Kai. My mood suddenly plummeted to being gloomy yet again. Seeing my reaction Lisa rejected the call but Kai wont stop calling so I grabbed the phone and turned it off. I pulled Lisa and hugged her wanting the warmth from her body she just hugged me while rubbing circles on my back just to comfort me.

"I promise you no one will hurt you again Nini." Lisa said and kissed my forehead making me feel all sorts of things and what's worse is that my stomach suddenly felt weird is this what they call feeling butterflies in your stomach? Who the heck invented that?? It felt like dragons are going rampage inside mine. Am I liking Lisa more than just a friend should have? Ani, ani, No, no. I cant like her our friendship would be ruined if she doesn't feel the same but what if she does feel the same? What should I —

My train of thoughts were cut off by Lisa calling out my name. I looked at her I mean completely stare at her eyes looking for answers or any hints at least, if she likes me back but her eyes were full with worry and this snap me back to reality.

"Yes?" I asked

"I've been calling your name three times already but you just sat there and stare at me. Unnie are you alright? Should I kill the bastard for hurting you? Tell me what you want and I'll do it unnie." She said completely worried for me.

She had been always like this even when we first met. She always cares for me, protects me, she has been there for me when I had my bad days and she was the one who never left and comforted me when grandma died. Its crazy that she sometimes gives me the things that I need even if I haven't said a thing. She knew me all too well. I deeply care for Lisa and loosing her would be loosing my light through this dark world of mine. I have been keeping my feelings for Lisa for awhile now in fear of ruining our close relationship but if I don't make a move now Im scared that I might regret it and see Lisa with someone else.

"I want to move on, would you help me?" I said looking through her eyes. I didn't love Kai, what I felt for him was just an infatuation but it did somehow hurt to be cheated on. I didn't deserve it we could've talked things out and break it off civilly. I wouldn't be mad or anything because I knew that his feelings for me isn't there anymore too.

"And how could I be of any help with that unnie?" Lisa asked with her thinking face on.

"Find me a boyfriend." I said staring at her. I saw a hint of hurt from her eyes but it was gone by the next second. Lisa do you have feelings for me? I'll confirm it by making you jealous if not then I guess I have to bury these feelings for you.

Lisa's POV

"Find me a boyfriend." I didn't know four words could hurt me just like that. Why does she have to look for one? Why can't it be me? Right, she's straight and Im nothing but a friend. I masked my emotion quickly I hope she didn't notice.

"I can't unnie. I will do anything except for that." I said to her while averting my eyes. I can't bare to see her with someone else its going to kill me. How am I going to find someone for her when I am in love with this Jennie Kim. Finding a boyfriend for her would be like holding the knife and stabbing your own heart.

"Why not?" She asked

"I just, I can't do it unnie."

"But you have a lot of friends surely you know someone who's good right?" She says

"Im sorry unnie but I cant give in to this request of yours" I said feeling bad that I have to turn her down

"Why cant you do this favor for me Lisa?"

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU OKAY?! I love you more than just a friend so I cant help you to look for a boyfriend because it would hurt me unnie just like when you were with Kai."

I heard her gasped at what I have said. Seeing her reaction made me feel like I was thrown a bucket of an ice cold water. I realized that I just confessed my feelings for her. I don't know what got over me but her asking a lot of why's made me feel on the edge. And so all those bottled up feelings burst when I couldn't take her questions anymore.

"Y-ou l-ove me? For how long?"Jennie asked completely dumbfounded at what I have said.

"Does it even matter?"

I asked as I looked to the right avoiding her cat like eyes. Contemplating if I should come clean or just completely deny everything I have said. I felt delicate fingers touch my face as she made me face her and looked directly into my eyes.

"Lisa, you know I hate secrets. Tell me the truth, did you really mean what you have said?" Jennie asked me looking straight through me as if she can't believe that I have feelings for her.

"Yes. I have loved you for quite some time now. I was sad back then because I was transferred to a new school. It was the freshmen auditions day for the iDol group. I saw you were laughing with the other girls that time and I just cant help but stare at those gummy smile of yours that it made my heart flutter. Seeing you happy made me unconsciously smile. I felt like the happiest girl alive when we were made into a group and getting to know you made me like you even more. Its not just about your smile Jen its about your personality too. I love how you care for each of your members. I love how kind you are to people, like how you stood up to the bullies and helped a girl or when you saw the kid crying so you stayed with him until he was with his nanny. You even lectured her for not taking care of the kid. You're beautiful inside out Jennie Kim and I guess that's why I fell in love with you." I said pouring my heart out to her while staring straight into those cat eyes that I fell for.

"Lisa I—" I cut off Jennie

"And I hope we could still be friends after this"

"But Lisa I-"

"Unnie its okay I promise not to bring up my feelings again because you don't feel the same" I said

"Yah! Stop cutting me off!" She yelled slightly annoyed. I bowed my head and mumbled a sorry.

"Lisa, look at me." She said urging me and so I did.

"I honestly am happy that you confessed your for me because Lisa I like you and I have been feeling this for quite some time now however Im not sure if Im in love with you. All I know is that I cant imagine my life without you and losing you would leave me devastated." Jennie said

"I, I don't know what to say." I said completely clueless on what to do next. I was surprised at what Jennie said. I wasn't expecting that I thought she would turn me down or worse she would be mad and not acknowledge me anymore.
