JENLISA - BEFORE STAGE

J - 4

"I-I was tasked by the our managers to check on every member starting tonight. They wanna make sure that we're all asleep before 11pm so that our voices and bodies will have complete rest for the upcoming events."

I don't even know where the hell I got that reason from but I'm guessing she did buy it. She nodded her head slowly while looking at me with her "usual Roseanne Park" attentive grimace.

"So why are you still up, my dear Rosie?" I raised my eyebrow teasingly, just trying to act less sus.

"I was just going to check on Lisa cause earlier she had a fever and I asked her to drink some fever meds. And my mom said that I should check on her after 4-6 hours to make sure her fever's gone."

What??? Lisa was having a fever while we were at the café? Oh god, I felt blamable for this. I'm starting to worry, my hands started to become sweaty.

"What time did she take her meds?"

"Few minutes after you guys arrived, like 10pm," Rosie's rubbing her chin while pouting.

"I know it's too early but I just wanna check on her before I go to sleep. Maybe just set an alarm on her phone then leave this on her bedside table," she showed me the glass of water and medication pill.

"Alright, just give those to me. I'll take care of it, okay? Go and get some sleep now, Rosie posie."

"Unnie, are you SURE?"

EMPHASIS on "SHAW" coz of her australian accent. Seriously? I know what she's thinking, this is unusual for me to care about Lisa like this. I know, I know. But f*** it, the girl needs me.

"Of course I'm SHAW, my dear Rosie. Besides, I'm the one who's responsible for her since I took her to the café without knowing she's having a fever," of course I still have to sugarcoat it. LOL!

"Unnie, not your fault okay?" Rosie's eyebrows were furrowed.

"I understand but just let me handle this please, cuzzy?" I patted her shoulder.

"Alrighty, unnie. Nighty night!" she hugged me then kissed me on my cheek, such a sweet girl.

Again, for the nth time, I felt down in the dumps. My poor Lili's having a fever but still chose to accompany me at the café. You can do this, Jennie! Pay all her efforts forward by taking care of her tonight.

I slowly went back in her room, placed the glass and fever pill on her bedside table then sat beside her. She's facing backwards so I slowly caressed her back then fixed her hair. I gently reached for her forehead to check if she's still having fevers, luckily she wasn't anymore.

"Rosie, bro I'm fine."

She faced me without opening her eyes. Her cute forehead's freely exposed and her bare face's shining like a diamond in my sight. That made me smile a little, how cute is this lil Lili.

"I just wanna make sure that you're not having a fever anymore," I was trying to copy Rosie's voice but later realized how stupid I may have looked or sounded while doing that. Err.

"I'm okay but my shoulder's aching," she turned to her side once again, exposing her back.

I gently rubbed her back, then slowly massaged her shoulder. She moved a little further, providing enough space for me to scoot in. Then positioned her body comfortably still exposing her back part. I stopped massaging her shoulders.

"Rosie no, dont stop please, I like that."

I smiled at the thought that she actually believed in my fake "trying to copy Roseanne's voice" I like that. I'm not saying I'm good at this mimicking thing or maybe she's too sleepy to notice how fake it sounded. I rubbed her back again then gently caressed her hair.

"Bro, thank you for taking care of me," she turned around then hugged me, her face is now burried on the side of my belly.

"Massage my back please, it hurts so bad."

Shaking her back as if she's dancing, trying to put emphasis on which part she wanted me to massage. I did start to rub her back then gently massaged it, she then pressed her face harder on the side of my belly. Comfy Lili eh?

"Thanks, bro. Sorry I wasn't able to share details about my date with Jennie today. I was too knackered," her face still snuggled on the side of my belly.

"It's alright just rest," me trying to mimic Rosé again, crap this BS! I'm grabbing this opportunity in the hopes of her not finding out tomorrow that it was I whom she's snuggling her face to.

"But she really made me happy today. I even kept a tissue of the café that we went to, for souvenir," I felt a movement from her mouth, did she just smile? I guess she did.

"But I forgot to ask for her autograph, though."

F***! This girl just melted my heart again. I just can't anymore, she's too cute for words! For once, I wanna get loose. My eyes were fixed on my sleeping beauty Lalisa. I was examining every bit of feature from her face, I'm trying to memorize every mole, every angle and even every flaw (if there's any but there's none) her face is perfect for me.

"If I was Jennie, alright imagine I'm Jennie. What would you do if I was her and she's lying right beside you now. Do not open your eyes. Imagine, then do what you want to do."

I was shocked when she pulled me down to level my body with hers, then hugged me tight. Our faces are literally an inch away from each other, I can almost feel the fresh warm air coming from her mouth every time she breathes.

I was dumbfounded, I was in a state of shock. I couldn't move, I was literally frozen. Help? She later turned around leaving her back exposed once more. She pulled my arm positioning it around her waist then reached for my head and pulled it closer to her nape, my lips are without a doubt touching her nape right now. I was absentmindedly sniffing her, coz damn, this girl smells so good and it felt... homey.

"I can feel your lips on my nape, Nini."

F*** that "Nini" gave me a mini heart attack. I almost thought that she knew it was me because I'm starting to lose it. 50 percent of my sanity was carried away by her body scent, however I got 50 percent sanity left, so I'm still under the impression that we were on this role playing sh*t.

"Can you stay til morning?" she pulled me even more close to her, I can now literally feel the warmth in her body.

"I will stay until you want me to," my facial muscles and body muscles were too tensed and stiffened from trying to reject the overwhelming feeling. I'm too tired of controlling this sh*t.

"I love this Nini," she intertwined her fingers in mine. Lalisa, why do you have to be this cute? 🥺

I took a deep breath and finally succumbed to this unyielding pressure of resistance. I relaxed body and just decided to fall victim unto Lalisa's charm. I comfortably snuggled my face on Lisa's nape while was internally shouting "me too Lisa, me too!"
