missed chance

9 | sleepover

It was cold. The winter wind was not helping much, all Lisa could pray for is to be on her bed with the duvet on the crook of her neck and the temperature blasting off on her room. But no, she has a lot in mind right now. More likely, she is confused so much. Things set on the wrong foot with Jennie and her, and as much as possible, she wants to talk it out with her. But she doesn't know how. 

She pulled up infront of a thirty-storey condominium building. She walked inside, dragging herself to the elevator and pressing the 16th floor. When she arrived infront of a room, she knocked softly. Like, she's shy that she's interrupting some else's goodnight sleep. When the door did not open for long, she considered this a bad idea and turned her back heading for the elevator. 

"Lisa!"

Lisa turned around and saw Jisoo, on her robe. She was gesturing for her to come back. Lisa had this small grin on her face. After all, when things go downside on her life, her runaway is Jisoo and Rosie's place. 

"I thought you two were sleeping already, I'm sorry if I woke you up." Lisa said.

"No, Chaeng and I are in the middle of a videogame which she convinced me to match against her," Jisoo explained, "It's a bad idea, though. I made her promise not to get mad when she loses, now she's pushing that I cheated after winning like three rounds against her." Jisoo whispered, making Lisa laugh.

Jisoo gestured for her to come in. They found Rosie seated on the living room couch, still grumpy with her defeat.

"Lisa! I didn't know you'd come over." 

"Last minute decision."

"Desperate times calls for desperate measures, you mean. Will beer and chicken tenders be needed?" Jisoo asked.

"Sure will." Lisa laughed as she sat beside Chaeng and leaned on her shoulder. Chaeng enveloped her to a hug.

"Tell me what's wrong." Chaeng whispered.

"Did Jisoo say something about sleeping together, cheating and Jennie in one sentence?"

"Yes. She did." 

"Are you gonna take me to a mass now?" Lisa asked.

"No. Not now, on Sunday maybe."

Lisa groaned. While Rosie laughed it off. Jisoo came back with beer on her hand and a plate of chicken tenders. Lisa was glad she came here tonight, after all these two really knew how to comfort her.

"I just want us both to be okay. We'll be in Spain together, and it's just bad that we're arguing like teenagers."

"I'm not sure teenagers are engaged and cheating." Jisoo joked.

"Very funny," Chaeng glared at her which made Jisoo raise her hand in surrender, "Lisa, I just hope that you won't make the same mistake when you're both in Spain. It's a foreign country away from all of us, and if you both managed to stir things right under our noses, I can only imagine what else when you're somewhere free." Chaeng said. Lisa understood Chaeng. She always did, even if she would always threaten her with masses or an hour long sermon, she was amazed by how Rosie always gets her and always says the right things.

"I know. I'll be doing my best. I really like Sehun and I want to work this out for him, after all Jennie is already engaged. I can't do anything about it."

"Lisa, no. Do things right with Sehun out of love. Not just because Jennie is not on the table anymore, you're not treating Sehun right." Chaeng said.

"Actually about Jennie and her engagement," Jisoo started, "She's having second thoughts. And I encouraged her to tell Chahee about it. Not to break them apart just because I'm still rooting for Jennie and Lisa, but for her to be honest and to do the right thing."
