QUITS

Chapter 14

If you think Lisa will feel blissful the next day? Wrong.

She woke up late after having a hard time sleeping last night. Blame that to her brain for casually and consistently doing replays of the kiss.

She was late in her first class for about half an hour and went in in the middle of a test. God knows if she would pass that or not, she only had less than an hour to answer all the questions.

She forgot her wallet and if isn't because of Mina, she'd probably just skip lunch.

She did a quick trip back home to get her wallet only to find a ticket pinned against her windshield just by parking for less than 5 minutes. She didn't notice the "No Parking" sign, honestly.

"What's gotten you all pouty?" Jongin says, giving her a gentle nudge whilst taking a sit beside her. Lisa just came back from that short trip home and met up with Jongin in the pantry while waiting for the joint class.

"Bad luck. Bad day."

Jongin raises his eyebrow. "Now that's news. What happened?"

So Lisa proceeds to tell all the unfortunate events she had to experience just in the first half of her day. "We're still half way there and it's already draining." Lisa sighs, placing her forehead against her bag.

Jongin gently pats her back whilst chuckling. "Chill it out. How long did you sleep last night?"

"I don't know. Three? Four hours? And I am having a headache episode worse than having a hangover."

"Take a nap." He says as he withdraws his hand.

"How I wish I could. I only have less than an hour before the next class."

"The joint class?"

Lisa nods, still refusing to look up.

"Talk about another headache."

"Absolutely."

"No. Look up."

"No."

"Come on."

Lisa grumbles something in between the lines of 'Give me some peace, Jongin. I am tired.' as she slowly looks up only to meet Jennie's eyes who are already looking at her. She's with Joohyun, probably getting their late lunch.

Lisa finds herself flustering and looks away, totally missing the immediate frown from Jennie. Jongin saw it though.

"That pissed her off, I guess." He says and looks at Lisa.

Lisa looks at him and frowns. "Huh?"

"Look." Jongin nods his head at the same direction where Jennie is.

Lisa turns her attention back to Jennie and gulps. Jennie is still looking at her — confusion and.. irritation? painting across her face. Not wanting to poke the cat (because using bear doesn't fit here) even more, she waves at her with a small smile.

It worked somehow because Jennie's now beaming at her again. Joohyun nudged Jennie to remind her that it's finally her turn to get her meals before smiling and waving at the duo.

"I want to say you're whipped but calling you that means you already have an attachment to her and that's not good. At this point at least."

Lisa sighs and looks down at her bag. "I'll ask her later."

"You better not let your nerves get in the way again."

"I will try."

"Oh no. Don't even say you're going to try. Do it."
