Certain Things | Chaelisa & Jensoo

Chapter 3

I shuffled with my keys in front of the door to our dorm and before I had the chance to actually unlock them, they opened and I was pulled inside.

I felt Jisoo unnie engulf me in her tight embrace, "We were so worried about you, don't ever do that again." she said and I not able to form words, just nodded.

Jennie unnie hugged me too and I felt so loved. I had to try hard to keep the tears from falling. I was so emotional about how much they cared for me. "I'm so happy that I have such a caring family" I said and they only tightened the hug.

Jisoo pulled away to look at me, "Why did you stay out this late? We're used to you sneaking out once in a while but you never came home this late. What happened?" she asked in a worried tone and I just shrugged not able to give her an answer, "I'm sorry for making you all worried" I said.

"It's okay pasta, just don't do it again," Jisoo unnie said and I chuckled at the nickname that she hasn't called me in a while.

*Ahem*

I looked up to the sound of someone clearing their throat. There I saw Lisa standing in a hallway.

"We'll leave you guys to talk, " Jennie unnie said and smiled at me "me and Chu will go to bed, don't stay up to late." she said and kissed my cheek.

"Good night maknaes!" Jisoo unnie sad as she closed the door behind her and Jennie. We're used to seeing those to sleeping in the same room by now, Jennie says she sleeps better when she's not alone. But I think she just likes unnies presence too much.

I looked up to see Lisa still standing in the hallway not looking at me. I walked up to her and grabbed her chin making her look at me but she still avoided my eyes. I sighed, "Look Lisa I'm sor-" I didn't have the chance to finish the sentence as Lisa's arms wrapped around me, one hand around my shoulders and the other on my waist. She buried her head into the crook of my neck and didn't say anything.

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I'd expect her to shout at me or just ignore me but I'm not complaining. I wrapped my arms around her neck and layed my head against hers. I couldn't help but think about how right it felt, to be here, in Lisa's arms. Her hugs were the best, they always made me feel warm and safe....they always made me feel home and I caught myself wishing this moment would never end.

We stayed in our warm embrace in silence for what felt like hours until Lisa's voice filled the room, "Why do you have goosebumps?" she asked and looked up, her lips dangerously close to mine. I gulped and looked into her eyes just to catch her staring at my lips "what's going on" I thought as her warm breath grazed my lips.

"I-I uhm," I stuttered and she looked up at me. I found myself at loss for words as I got lost in her brown eyes which were staring into mine.

"Chaeyoung what are you doing?! Pull back or this will be very awkward" my conscience practically screamed and just then I fully realized our position. Our faces just inches apart, our bodies flushed together.

I pulled away abruptly not wanting to make it awkward. But what was it in her eyes when I pulled away, could it be.....disappointment? No, I must be imagining things.

"I'm glad you're okay Rosie." was the only thing she said before turning around and walking back to her room. I heard her door close shut but I was still standing in the hallway as if paralyzed, a milion thoughts in my head "What would happen if I didn't pull away? What if I made her feel uncomfortable? Will she avoid me? Why was she looking at my lips? Why didn't she pull away? Did she perhaps...wanted to kiss me too? No that can't be, don't be stupid. She doesn't see you like that. If you were Jennie unnie then maybe but as long as you're you, no way. She was probably just happy that you were okay. Yeah, that must be it."
