JENNIE

I got out of the theater and searched for Lisa. I think I caught a glimpse of her on the way to the CR, so I followed suit.

As I entered the room, I found her in front of the mirror and just staring at the sink.

"Lis, what's wrong?"

She moved her head towards my direction and was quite shocked to see me there. "Why did you follow me, Ms. Kim?"

"So, are we back to last name basis now huh? Tell me Lisa, what happened and why are you suddenly avoiding me after you talked me into reconciling with Kai?" I shot back to her question.

I saw Lisa looked away from me and stared at her hands. "Nothing happened, I just realized.. we should be formal to each other since the CF is scheduled tomorrow, I dont want the staff to get the wrong idea we're close or something." Ouch. Does she mean all the time we've been together on the way to the amusement park, the rides, the fun moments, the sweet talks and gestures, those meant nothing to her?

I felt a pang on my chest as the realization hit me. "So, now you just want to be civil with me when here I thought we've become close and I think of you as a special friend of mine."

"Because this is frickin better than seeing you building your future with that asshole Kai." I heard her mumble something under her breath but didn't quite catch that so I asked,

"What did you just say?" I tilt my head to one side.

"Psh, nothing. Think whatever you want. I'm going back in now." She put her hands in both her pockets and passed by me to the door.

"Hey! Come back here! We're not done yet!" I said a little louder. "Are you, by any chance, just jealous of Kai huh?"

You know this is a long shot, Jennie. I mentally pulled my hair in frustration. But I also wanted to know her answer, it just occurred to me that  her behavior changed since I told her about me and Kai are back to being a couple.

That one shot, though, was enough to catch her attention.  "Excuse me, what??? Me jealous of that Kai? No way in hell, and why would I be?? Am I inlove with you? You're getting full of yourself, Ms. Kim." She crossed her arms and smirked. I don't know if she's acting just now but what I'm sure of is she's trying to intimidate me.

Ha! I knew it. I hate myself for even hoping that she could just be jealous. I mean, it would be awkward if she admits she is, because that would only mean one thing, she likes me.

But somehow, that's not the case. I was about to retort back when the door suddenly opened and showed a Roseanne Park.

"Lisa? Jennie? What are you guys doing here? L, I've been looking for you." Roseanne worriedly said to Lisa.

"Sorry, R. I just needed to fix some things." Lisa replied then looked at me as if trying to say, Don't spill. Then she hooked her arms around her shoulders to guide her back outside which made my blood boil.

"You asked what me and Lisa are doing here? We are obviously talking about something important and private so if you may excuse us, I still need to talk to her, in private. I emphasized the last two words to convey my message to her clearly. Leave me and Lisa alone.

Roseanne suddenly stopped and looked up at Lisa. "What is it about?"

But Lisa just waved her hand and shushed her, "Ms. Kim is exaggerating here, Roseanne. Its just about the CF since its going to be tomorrow. Just few reminders you know." She shrugged her shoulders as she replied.

"You know what, lets not go back to that boring movie and lets go eat somewhere, I'm getting hungry."

"I think that's a good idea, L. You really know I love eating. You're so sweet!!" She cutely said to Lisa.

"Alright then! Lets search some good place to eat. I'll just text Jisoo we're going first." Lisa fished out her phone from her pocket and started to type.

"What about Jennie?" Roseanne pointed at me.

"Ah? She's still there? Ms. Kim you should go back to YOUR boyfriend before the movie gets finished. He might want to cuddle. Be sure you two would be present tomorrow at the hotel for the shooting." After she said that  she and Roseanne finally walked out of the door.

I didn't wait long and followed after them. They were going the other way from the theater so I have no choice but to stop tailing them. I can't explain why I feel so irritated at the thought of going back there to be with Kai while Lisa is having moments with that Roseanne. I closed my fist and shut my eyes. I can feel tears welling up my eyes so before they fall down I need to get my feelings out. I dont know what's gotten into me but I sent a message to GummyBaby. I feel like I can open up to her and she will just be there to listen, not judging me even one bit.

" :(((( "

That's all I sent before I finally faced the other direction and walked back to the theater.

Unknown to her, while she and Lisa were walking the opposite sides. Lisa stopped by when a notif came from jennierubyjane and she opened it. Her eyes soften in an instant but then shook her head slowly and continued chatting with Roseanne Park.

Jennie continued to stare at her phone while walking, hoping to get a reply from Gummy.

*seen*

Fuck. This sucks. Even Gummy doesn't have time for me huh.
