MANOBAN'S SECRET

Chapter Seven: Occupied

JENNIE'S POV

My frown never left my face while listening to this Tao. He likes Manoban and he followed her here just to be with her.

I can see that Lisa is happy seeing him and it makes me pissed.

While we are walking to our history class, Lisa never paid attention to me, she's so occupied with Tao's presence.

"It's time for me to go. I'll see you later." Tao kissed Manoban's head "Take care, okay?"

Lisa glared at him then she smiled "Later?"

"V asked me to live in your apartment." He answered

Lisa glared at V "Whatever. Go! Shoo!" She pushed Tao

Tao just laughed and walked away.

We resumed walking. I was startled when someone held my hand.

"Can we talk?"

I bite my bottom lip, staring at Lisa's hand holding mine.

"Why?"

She didn't answer instead she said, "Guys, you can go first, we just need to talk."

Rose and Jisoo exchanged looks.

"Okay, but hurry up, okay? Class starts in five minutes."

Lisa dragged me inside a restroom. She locked it and faced me.

"Is there something wrong?" Her soft voice made me calm

"Everything is fine." I half lied

I know something is wrong with my feelings and emotions but I don't know the reason.

"Did I do something wrong? I can see with your frown that there is something you didn't like. What it is?" She pushed the topic

I sighed, maybe I should tell her a certain thing that I am sure of.

"You ignored me when that Tao came. I don't know why but I hate it when you're not paying attention to me."

She was surprised by what I've said but she recovered with a smile.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know that you feel that way." She spread her one arm "Can I get a hug?"

No one made my heart beat this fast. Not even Jungkook. No one made me feel this soft.

I hugged her and she wrapped her arm around me. It feels so comfortable.

"Let's go to class." She announced, releasing me from her warm hug

I already miss her warmth.

~~

"You're scaring me." Rose threw a pillow to me while we are laying down on my bed

"What? Why?" I asked, glaring at her

"You're smiling like a psychopath there!"

I smiled even more "I'm just happy, Chae."

"I can see that, obviously! Care to share, why?"

Should I tell her? Of course, she's my best friend.

"Because of Manoban. She's making me feel comfortable and she's making me feel like I'm important to her."

Rose frowned "Do you like her?"

Do I? I'm still confused.

"Maybe? As a friend yes. She's kind, sweet, and all but more than a friend? I don't know."
