I Hate You, Don't Leave Me

Chapter 19

Enjoy these happy moments.....

That Friday, Lisa found herself walking into the Fall Carnival with her housemates, who were all talking excitedly about the night to come. Chaeyoung seemed as excited as everyone else did, but Lisa wasn't sure that she could share in that excitement. She still remembered the first time that she had been to this carnival, and she hadn't been back since. Even though she had planned on coming earlier in the week, now that it was here, Lisa had tried to get out of it tonight by claiming that she had a lot of homework. Needless to say, it hadn't taken Chaeyoung long to convince her to come anyway. Lisa could only hope that tonight would prove to be extremely fun now that she had Chaeyoung.

The blonde in question was currently pulling Lisa towards one of the booths where Jennie was currently playing a game. Once she got close enough to see, Lisa noticed that Jennie was playing the ring toss, and she also noticed that the other brunette was not very good at it. None of the three rings that Jennie was given landed on the pegs that she was supposed to be hooking them on.

"Move out of the way, and I'll show you how it's done," Jisoo said smugly.

"Yeah, right," Jennie scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I'm going to get all three so that I can get one of those huge prizes." Jisoo pointed up at the giant stuffed animals that were hanging from the ceiling of the tent.

"You can try," Jennie said, clearly not believing her.

Jisoo almost made good on her promise, but she missed the last ring, so she had to settle for one of the smaller prizes. Hanbin stepped up next, making it his goal to get all three rings around the pegs as well, and soon, that was the goal of everyone in Blackpink. Lisa watched them all have a go at it, but nobody actually succeeded in this new goal. Once everyone had gone except for Chaeyoung and Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Krystal began to chant the names of the two girls in order to spur them into taking the next turn.

Chaeyoung groaned in annoyance. "I'm not trying that. I'll be terrible and embarrass myself in front of all of you."

"Come on, Chaeng. Everyone else did it, and some people were really bad," Jisoo said.

"I'll go," Lisa said, knowing that she would have no problem with this game. She and Sorn had gone to carnivals quite a bit when she was a kid, and the ring toss had always been Lisa's best game. She wondered if Jessica and Krystal remembered this. The amused look that Jessica was giving her and the eye roll that Krystal offered up told Lisa that they did. When the man handed her the rings, she threw each one expertly onto a peg, to the amazement of everyone who was watching her.

Even the man who was running the booth seemed impressed. "Nice work! Which prize would you like?"

Lisa had forgotten that the prizes had even existed in her eagerness to show off her skills to everyone. She knew that she really did not care for the prize, so she turned to her roommate. "What would you like, baby?"

Chaeyoung raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You're giving it to me?"

"Of course I am. You're my girlfriend."

Chaeyoung smiled warmly at the brunette, squeezing her hand in thanks before turning her attention to the man in the booth. "I'll have the lion, please."
