twenty seven

Half an hour after the movie started, Lisa went inside the house crying. The girls and I stood up and followed her to our room.

"What happened?" Chaeng asked.

Lisa buried her face in her pillow to cover up her bawling. "He said he only likes me as his friend. That's just about it."

"I'm sorry, Lisa..." Jennie sat on our bed and held Lisa's hand. "I shouldn't have asked JK the question."

"I'm sorry, Lisa.." I said, reaching out for her but then the girl slapped my hand away.

"Jisoo, I don't want to talk to you. Please get out of the room." Lisa said. I was stunned by Lisa's words. Of all people, I didn't expect Lisa to say those words to me, knowing that she's always bubbly and clingy towards me. "He told me about you knowing what he feels and you didn't even tell me." Lisa continued, "I don't want to see your face, you and Jk."

Chaeyoung approached me and held my hand, "You should sleep in our room tonight. I think Jennie should sleep on your place."

"I'll stay here." Jennie managed to say and smile at us, though I knew for the fact the she's worried about our friend. "I'll take care of Lisa."

Chaeyoung and I walked out of our room. We didn't see any of the boys on the second floor so they're probably still in the living room downstairs. "I think we should get inside your room now." I told my best friend.

"You were ALONE with Jisoo on the rooftop? WHEN?!" We heard V's deep voice from the living room, just before we were about to turn a corner towards Jen and Chaeng's room.

My best friend stopped me from walking and signaled that we should listen more of what the boys were talking about. I tried to pull her away and stop her from eavesdropping since it was boys' talk but the blonde insisted.

"I just told her about my dilemma with Lisa. That's it." Jungkook explained his side.

"Calm down, V. Your jealousy won't help fix the issue right now." Namjoon sounded so exasperated with the situation.

"What more did you tell her, then?" V asked Jungkook. "Did you tell her you like her too?"

Chaeng and I looked at each other in shock. "What?" I mouthed.

"I didn't. I just told her that I like someone who doesn't like me back. I know that you win already. Stop pointing it out." Jungkook said.

"What the hell?" Jin finally spoke. "Jisoo's in so much trouble right now."

"Don't scold her. It's not her fault for being herself." V told Jin.

Chaeyoung had a worried look on her face. "Your boyfriend really has the guts to talk to your brother like that."

"Shh!"

"Jin, stop. Lisa and Jk are our problem for today. Let's not pile our problems up. One problem at a time, please." It was Yoongi, always the one who tries to fix things between our friends.

"So, what are we going to do?" Hoseok asked.

"Let JK fix this. He's the one who hurt his best friend." Jimin suggested

"But Lisa's our friend too... I don't want to see her hurt." Hoseok sounded really concerned.

"Just what exactly did you tell her?" Namjoon asked.

"That she's like a little sister to me. Then she asked me who I like. I told her it's Jisoo."

"And??"

"That's when she started telling me that she thought it was Soo too, and that she shouldn't have gotten her hopes up too high just because I was very protective of her."
