it started with a lie [chaelisa]

act two

Lisa rolled around all night, unable to sleep.

How could she? How could she sleep when a random cute girl showed up out of nowhere and kissed her? How could she sleep when she kissed the girl back without hesitation?

Lisa is unsure. She’s unsure of many things. “Am I even straight anymore?” She kept asking herself that very question.

She got up out of bed without energy; her eye bags clearly marked her sleep-deprived self. But today’s not the day to be tired. Today’s not the day to slack off. She forced herself to start her morning routine at 4am in the morning. 

Today, she finally starts her new job.

As a requirement, all employees must live, along with one roommate, in the company-owned apartment building. Lisa was unsure of what the living conditions would be, but she decided to take the offer nonetheless.

Now that she’s done with university, she’s broke. Quite lost in terms of what she wanted in life. If Lisa is being honest, she thought that what she needed was a boyfriend, but now, maybe…girlfriend? She shakes away those thoughts and continues to prepare for her new job.

On the other hand, another girl was also staring her morning off rather early.

Chaeyoung arrived in front of the tall building; her new “home” for the next few years. She prayed to get a good roommate. And she prayed that she might meet a hot guy here.

One thing is holding her back from having those perfect dreams of life: her kiss. Last night, her first kiss had been taken away from her, by her very self !! How very stupid of Rosé.

She kept replaying that moment in her head. Her first kiss…with a girl. Was it normal for her to like it? Did she like that she was kissed by a girl? Or was it just the feeling of being kissed? Chaeyoung doesn’t know.

The soft pair of lips hitting hers last night…Chaeyoung swore that she was going insane.

I’m straight. I’m straight.

‘Don’t worry Rosé, your Prince Charming will come one day. Just wait for him. Yeah, just wait for him.’ She thought to herself. With that, she entered the building with pride.

┄ ┄ ┄ ┄ ┄ ┄ ┄ ┄ ┄ ┄ ┄ ┄

Lisa stood in the crowded lobby against many others. She patiently waited in line for her keys. The room was filled with MANY cute girls. Wait— what?

Lisa shook her head furiously. There is NO WAY that she just thought that. No way. No way. No fricking way. ‘Fuck.’ Lisa mentally cursed. She was reminded of her fading straightness when a short girl approached her.

Lisa felt her throat dry when the girl tucked her hair behind her ears flirtatiously. She cleared her throat and tried to avoid eye contact.

“Kim Jennie.” The girl said while offering her hands to Lisa. Lisa swore that she felt her heart stop.

“K-Kim? Kim Jennie?” She cursed under her breath for stuttering. But what can Lisa do? This girl is the daughter of her boss.

“The one and only,” Jennie said confidently. What she said next made Lisa choke on air.

“You can call me babe too if you want. Or love, or darling, or sexy. I don’t have a preference.” Jennie said with a wink. Lisa felt heat rush up to her cheeks. She had just found her dream girl. Jennie was everything that she ever looked for in a girl. Confident, sexy, drop-dead gorgeous, and cute.

Wait— everything she looked for in a girl? Shit. Had Lisa always been gay without knowing it? She mentally cursed herself for just realizing that.

Lisa was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt something soft on her cheeks. Jennie has kissed her. Lisa’s heart started to beat rapidly. At this point, she had long forgotten the girl from last night.

“Princess, we talked about this. Don’t flirt with random girls.” Lisa heard a stern voice behind her. Standing there, was Mr. Kim himself. Lisa bowed down out of respect, and the rest of the room fell silent. People stared at the three, which made Lisa uncomfortable.

“She’s not random daddy!” Jennie whined. “She…makes my heart skip a beat,” Jennie said shyly with a red tomato on her face. Lisa thought that this side of Jennie was very cute. Hell, she definitely isn’t straight anymore.

Mr. Kim shook his head in defeat. Lisa could tell he loves his daughter too much to say anything to disappoint or hurt her.

Jennie then slid a piece of paper with her number on it in Lisa’s hands, followed by a wink. Lisa was left there dumbfounded. The room broke into whispers as the Kims left.

Lisa quickly grabbed her keys from the front and made her way to her new apartment. Her hands were onto her shirt tight, desperately trying to calm down her racing heart.

As she finally calmed herself down, she carefully placed the sheet of paper into her pocket.

However, her newfound calmness was quickly shattered when she turned the doorknob. On the other side, a familiar face greeted her. Although, the other girl was twice as shocked as Lisa.
