Bullies with benefits - Chaelisa (converted)

PART 57 [M]

"And she has a really nice voice too."

I nod my head, probably for the hundredth time as Wheein starts to list out a bunch of things Chaeyoung is amazing at. She has this sickly sweet smile on her face and whenever she starts with a new one, she'd look at me dead in the eye and I'd start to wonder once again how I did not see the anger flash in them last time.

"Plus, there was this one time," she says, scrunching her nose up in a supposed cute way. "We went out to see the fireworks inside London Eye on the night Kate Middleton gave birth to Prince George, and it was so romantic because it was pure timing." She twirls her hair mockingly at me and I continue to grin at her, almost like I didn't know what she was trying to do.

"That all seems like great stories." I reply, chuckling a bit for added measure as I step across the backroom she led me to about an hour ago, watching as she feeds the next two chicks for the 20th time. "And I'd love to hear more, but Dowoon is waiting for me." I sigh, faking sadness before averting my gaze to the two chicks. "And the birds."

Wheein nods and hands the cage over to me, winking after a second. "Don't go breaking their hearts." She jokes, but I cringe at the way her eyes glower at me.

"Wouldn't try." I say, not bothering to wait a minute more as I dash out of the room and nearly knock over Wonpil as he brushes Leo's fur. "F—Sorry Wonpil, I didn't see." I apologize, scratching the back of Leo's neck as I wave goodbye at them before it's too late.

But fuck, I couldn't make it.

"Oh Lisa!" Wheein squeaks, causing me to groan and swivel on the balls of my feet to face her. She's bouncing on her toes and her hair is swishing from side to side. "Can I tell you one last story?" she asks with a pout, fluttering her eyelashes at me.

I gulp inwardly and shrug my shoulders. "Go ahead," I force myself to say, my emotions all over the place as she steps closer to me and pats my cheek fondly.

"Well, last Christmas—Chaeyoung and I—"

The doorbell rings and we both turn our attentions towards the sound, my lips twitching into a big smile as I see Chaeyoung strut inside the shop with a smirk on her face. She looks so sexy in a tight white V-neck and simple jeans. I'm about to just pounce on her when Wheein interrupts.

"Hello babe—"

Chaeyoung leans forward and kisses me lightly on the lips, causing giggles to erupt from my mouth as she nuzzles our noses together. She licks my lower lip a final time and steps back. "Hey Lis."

I can practically feel Wheein's jaw on the ground. "Ch-Ch-Chaeyoung." She hisses and I wonder where her happy-go-lucky attitude just went. She crosses her arms together and pinches Chaeyoung's cheek, pulling her to the side as Chaeyoung whines helplessly. "What the hell was that?" she growls, pointing a finger at me in disgust. "Did you just kiss your mortal enemy?"

Chaeyoung smacks her hand away and cups her cheek, scowling at the woman. "That hurt." She snarls back, caressing her skin. "And yes, I kissed Lisa, but no—not my mortal enemy."

Wheein clucks her tongue and glares at the cat that paws at her shoes, causing the poor feline to cower away into Wonpil's arms.
Wow, she was totally a different person now. I'd think she had two souls.

"Are you kidding me? For months you've been crying non-stop about this woman and now you're just gonna kiss her like she didn't do anything to hurt you?"

Wow. She had no boundaries either, and I know I've done some stupid things. But shit, hearing it from a complete stranger seemed more worse than I thought. I nervously rub my right arm and walk away just like the cat did, into the far opposite side of the room when Chaeyoung sees this and immediately walks next to me, grabbing my fingers and intertwining them with hers.
