All I Hold On To [JENLISA]

Chapter 2

As soon as Jennie got home, the only thing she did was to stare at her phone. She has been waiting for Lisa's calls or messages and since she did not want to miss any of it, she's been on watch but so far, there was none.

She pushed off the thought that Lisa was not that interested in her as how interested Jennie is to Lisa. Instead, she remained hopeful that in every time her phone lit up, it was Lisa.

She was wrong. She waited for two days and yet, she got nothing from Lisa. She berated herself for not acquiring Lisa's number as she was too confident that Lisa would call her right away.

She thought of looking for her in Lisa's condo but her ego was getting in her way. She believed that if Lisa wanted to be with her, she would.

"Jennie Ruby Jane Kim, seriously," Jisoo, her friend who was also in the same medical school, sighed loudly. She was getting tired and impatient of Jennie's occasional glances on her phone. "Why do you keep on looking at your phone?"

"It's nothing," Jennie placed her phone back on the table and did her best to focus on the book she has to read. Not long after, she found herself staring at her phone again which really frustrated her.

She slumped to her chair while taking a sip of her frappe. It was Tuesday afternoon and they decided to hang out in a coffee shop to relax themselves after their hellish last class. She was starting to drift off when Jisoo accidentally elbowed her head.

"O-oops! Sorry, Jendeuk."

Jennie glared at her... then at those two people who just entered the shop and occupied the table not too far away behind Jisoo. Her eyes widened when she realized it was Lisa. She wanted to run to her, ask her why she never tried to reach for her but maybe, she did not really care for her after all.

Besides, Lisa has a company. A girl. Maybe her new girlfriend.

"Chu... let's go," Jennie whispered to her friend then she gathered all her things. She almost spilled the half-full glass of coffee on her laptop as her hands were trembling. "H-headache.."

"Oh my god, I am sorry! I didn't mean to hit your head."

"It's not that. I'm just having a headache... Let's go." Jennie quickly grabbed her bag and ran out of the shop. She fished for her key while Jisoo was lagging behind. She saw Jisoo enter her own car and drove next to Jennie. "I am fine. Just go. Bye!"

"You're weird, Jennie." Jisoo remarked and poke her head out of the window. Jennie kissed her older friend's cheek. "Seriously, Jen. Call me once you're home."

"I will." Jennie and smiled at her friend. She still was not feeling any better but she had to make Jisoo believe her. She watched her friend drive away while she resumed looking for her car key. "Fuck. Where is it?!"

Finally, she had her key in her hand but before she could open her car door, a voice was heard. "Jennie?"

Looking at the person who called her name, she answered. "Yeah... Hey, Lisa."

"I had to make sure it was you. Aren't you with someone? Your friend? Why did you leave all of a sudden?"

"Oh... that... we were actually planning to go home. How about you? You have a date, perhaps." Jennie was disappointed. It was evident in her shaky voice and anxious smile. "I'll go now."

"Wait. Hmm, actually.. I lost my phone so... I did not get the chance to uhm... contact you. And I just got back from an out of town work so.."
