You Got Me (JenLisa)

Chapter 47

"What's going on?" Lisa asked as soon as she and Jennie had stepped inside the kitchen and saw Chaeyoung crouching under the table and Jisoo standing a foot away from both the table and Chaeyoung Park, who looked particularly surprised at the sight of Lisa.

"She knocked the cup," Jisoo provided the answer. But her eyes were intentionally dodging Lisa's and resolved to looking through the ample space between Jennie and Lisa. Where she could see the two cats throwing jabs on each other and immediately thought of her dog, Dalgom. She really shouldn't have left her bed and Dalgom last night, Jisoo thought desperately.

"Chaeng?" Lisa, somewhat unconvinced, called her bestfriend. "Are you okay?" she asked.

Chaeyoung emerged from under the table, with a quantity of messy red hairs covering a portion of her face. But she was smiling, albeit looking a bit embarrassed, like it was nothing out of ordinary except that there was the presence of Jennie and Jisoo.

"Yeah. Yes, sorry," Chaeyoung Park nodded as she straightened up and placed the empty cup back on the table. "I was in the middle of explaining something to Kim -- I mean, Jisoo, here -- and you know me when I try to explain things, Shutterbug. I end up knocking things," Chaeyoung explained and offered Jennie an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Jennie," she muttered.

Jennie nodded and offered the redhead a warm smile before she asked, "You okay, Chu?" when she veered her eyes away from the redhead to her bestfriend, who looked totally not her usual self.

Jennie had been eyeing Jisoo the moment she and Lisa walked in inside the kitchen. There was something odd about Chu, Jennie noticed. From the way she held herself to the way she would shy away from Lisa's gaze. Even the way Jisoo Kim was folding her hands behind her back was odd.

"Yes!" Jisoo quickly answered, followed by enthusiastic nods. It was short and abrupt, the 'yes'. A clear indication that Jisoo was definitely not okay, as far as Jennie was concerned.

"Actually, we were in a middle of a discussion before the cup thing," Chaeyoung said after she was done tying her hair into a bun.

"Discussion about what?" Lisa inquired. She walked towards the kitchen counter, folded her arms across her chest as she leaned her hips against the cold tile.

Lisa was assessing the situation before her. Chaeyoung standing in the middle of her kitchen with a look on her face that says she's getting an upper hand with her discussion with Jisoo, who was looking anywhere but at her direction and Jennie looking at Jisoo with curiosity.

"Jisoo thinks that she should stop calling you Lisa now that your secret is out," Chaeyoung told Lisa, which earned her a discreet (which Lisa caught before it disappeared) but disapproving look from Jisoo.

Jennie raised a brow and threw a more curious look at Jisoo, Lisa noticed, who was now throwing threatening looks at the redhead. And Lisa realized, just out of nowhere, that it was the first time the four of them were confined in one place (in her place, to be exact) without her bestfriend and Jennie's bestfriend actually trying to bite each other's heads off. Sure, there was still that obvious tension and mutual pleasure of throwing displeased look towards each other, but other than that, both were pretty civil compared to when their first meeting at the Orange. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the two had been spending time with each other, last night including, that they had grown to respect each other's differences. The possibility of a more cordial relationship between the two pleased Lisa that she couldn't help but smile a little, despite the situation she was in right now.

"It honestly did not sound like that when I said it," Jisoo countered, now sounding annoyed.

Or maybe not, Lisa thought with resignation. Doona's words about Jisoo being cranky and scary started to ring on her ears.
