Never Ever Again (JENLISA)

Chapter 18

Lisa

SO, WE WENT to my Dad's restaurant. Unfortunately, he's not there because he's handling a restaurant in Thailand, too. But my uncle was present so we can still eat for free. We chose to sit on the table beside the window.

"Wow. The atmosphere here is nice." Chaeng mumbled. I lowkey thanked her with a bright smile.

My relationship with my parents are much stable now than before. So I was so proud of my Dad when he built this restaurant.

"I ordered some pork cutlets since that's one of the famous dish here."

"How about chicken?"

"No chicken for today. Sorry." I uttered. But ofcourse, I'm just teasing her.

"What?! How dare you, Lisa?! What did you do to my chicken?" She then faked a cry. I threw the tissue roll on her and it landed on her face so the others bursted into laughters especially Bambam.

"Don't overreact. You looks so ugly."

"I hate you!"

"I love you, too, unnie." I said and laughed.

After a few more minutes, the waiter served the foods I ordered. And Jisoo unnie quickly clapped on excitement when she saw the plate full of chickens.

"Yah! I really hate you! You said, there's no chicken for today!"

"Alright. Sorry. I just want to tease you, Chu."

"Don't call me Chu!" I just chuckled on her.

We started eating after that. Ofcourse, I took care of Jennie. I also kept my eyes on her. That's how attentive I am to her.

"Lili, can you hand me the soy sauce?" I heard Jennie said. So I quickly grabbed the soy sauxe and handed it to her.

"Lis, can you hand me the tissue?" Chaeng said.

"There's one near Jisoo unnie." I uttered. Everyone chuckled because of my response.

"Wow. Just, wow, Lisa. You will do everything for Jennie unnie, huh?"

"Ofcourse!" I confidently replied. On my peripheral view, I saw Jennie let out a smile. So I can't help but to smile, too.

In the midst of eating, my eyes suddenly landed outside the restaurant and there I saw a familiar guy. And I realized that it was Sehun.

"Bam, it's Sehun, right?" I whispered to Bambam while pointing to the guy. He responded with a nod. "Text him and tell him to go here and eat with us. Come on."

"You can do it yourself."

"Just do it!" I hissed. He rolled his eyes on me before he took out his phone to message Sehun.

"Li, I'll just go to the bathroom." Jennie muttered.

"Want me to go with you?"

"Thanks but no thanks. I can handle." My face redenned when she kissed my cheek first before she went to the bathroom. Aish. She's making me crazy.

"Oohh. Sweet." They said in unison.

"Lisa!" I turned my head and I saw Sehun walking towards us. He grabbed an empty chair and sat beside Bam.

"Excuse me, but why are you here?" Jisoo unnie asked.

"Ah, Bam messaged me and told me to eat here with you, guys. Hi, Lis!" He greeted with a smile. I just smiled back at him.

"Lisa, is this fine with Jennie?" Jisoo unnie suddenly asked me with a concerned look.

Oh. s**t. I forgot about Jennie. I don't even know if this will be fine with her.

"A-Ah, I think so?" I hesitantly replied. She shook her head maybe in disappointment. I sighed. Why did I even forgot about my girlfriend? Tss. Dumb Lisa.

"I'm ba- Oh. Who's this guy?" We all turned to Jennie who just came back to her sit which is beside me. She's straightly looking at Sehun.

"Jen, meet Sehun. Lisa's ex-boyfriend and her close friend, also." Bambam simply introduced. Sehun tried to shake hands with Jennie but Jennie just stared at his hands and suddenly looked at me. It seems like she wants me to explain something. But because I'm nervous as hell, I looked away.

"Nice to meet you." She blankly said and continued eating her food. I looked at her to check her but she's just quietly eating.

"Sehun, eat all you want. Don't worry. It's for free." Bambam said so Sehun started eating, too.

"Lali, are you free this coming Saturday? I just want to hangout with you since it has been a long time. But, you know, it's okay if you have something important to do." He awkwardly brought out.

"A-Ah, I'm not sure yet."

"You can have her anytime." We all looked at Jennie. I looked at her in confusion.

"Really? I mean, you know, you two are in a relationship."

"I don't mind at all. Besides, it seems like she'll be happy to spend some time with you." She said in a flat tone. I thought, it was really okay with her. But then,...

"I think, I'll go home now. Dad must be looking for me already. See you later." And without even taking a single glance on me, she just stood up and hurriedly walked towards the exit of the restaurant.

Shit. Is she mad at me?

"Excuse me." I said and followed Jennie.

I quickly grabbed her hand to stop her.

"What?" She asked.

"Let me walk you home." I said.

"No thanks. I can go home by myself." She coldly said and was about to walk again but I stopped her again.

"Hey. Are you mad?" I carefully asked as I caressed her hands.

"Why would I be mad at you? You didn't do anything, right? I'm just not in a good mood. So please, I'll go home now." She then removed her hand from my hold and walked away from me. I could only sigh. I knew it. She got mad. Aish! I'm so stupid! I should've asked her first if it's okay to aske Sehun to eat with us, but I freaking forgot! Tch.

I took out my phone from my pocket and tried to call her but she didn't pick it up. I sighed, again. She really got mad.

I sadly went back inside the restaurant and sat back on my seat. They all looked at me worriedly, except from Bambam.

"You should've asked for her permission, first. She's your girlfriend." He seriously said.

"I know. I forgot. I'm sorry."

"You forgot that she's your girlfriend?!" He asked while shockingly looked at me.

"No! I mean, I forgot to tell her." I said and pouted.

"You just reconciled yesterday but you fought again."

"We didn't fight! She just got mad because I did a wrong move."

"I'm sorry, Lis. It was my fault." My eyes landed on Sehun.

"Oh, no, Sehun. It's not your fault."

"Bless you, Manoban. I hope, you will reconcile later." Chaeng said.

I f****d up. I really f****d up.

***

It's already 2:30 in the afternoon and we're now heading in our campus. Actually, Jisoo and Chaeng left first so I'm just with Bambam right now. And ofcourse, he's the one who's driving my car since I'm not in the mood to drive today. I'm still thinking about Jennie. I hope, she'll talk to me later.

"Sehun is still studying, right?" He suddenly asked while still driving.

"Yeah. He's studying in SM with his friend."

"Oh. With Kai?"

"Maybe." I shortly replied.

"Aren't you curious about that Kai? His name sounds so cool."

"Just his name."

"You're so rude."

"Not really. Just not in the mood." I said in a flat tone. I opened my phone to check if Jennie messaged me but much to my dismay, I found nothing on our chat box. I sighed, again.

"You know what, you should talk to Jennie later. Apologize for what you did."

"But what if she don't want to talk to me? I don't want to push myself."

"Aigoo. Just try, okay? There's nothing wrong on trying."

After a few minutes, we arrived in our campus so I quickly went out of the car and walked inside the campus, trying to find my girlfriend.

And there she is. Peacefully seating on a bench while using her phone. I inhaled and exhaled first before I walked towards her.

"Jennie..." I softly called her name.

"Hmm?"

Aish. Is she really ignoring me?

"Hey, sorry if I didn't tell you that I invited Sehun to eat with us. I forgot. I'm sorry." I softly said. She lifted her eyes on me but I can't see any emotion on her face.

"It's okay. Anyway, I need to accompany my friend so I can't join you today. See you later, Lisa." She said and left. s**t. What should I do? Is she that mad at me?

"Unnie!" I turned around and saw Somi running towards me. She then greeted me with a hug. "I thought, you're not going to attend our afternoon class." She said as she pulled away from me.

"Why would I do that? I'm always present." I said with a chuckle.

"I know, right. Anyway, you're still going on my birthday celebration, right?" I nodded. "Yes! Thank you, unnie!"

"What gift do you want?"

"Anything. But don't buy something expensive. I can't accept that."

"Why?'

"It's hard to explain but I love simple things even if it's a cheap one." She simply explained. It made me smile.

"We really have the same taste."

"Yeah. Haha." And with that, we both laughed.

"Are you free later after class? Let's hangout with the squad." I brought out.

"Sure! I love to!" She then cutely did a small dance. I chuckled at her. She's still a baby.

"Aigoo. Aegi. (애기 means baby)." I said and pinched her cheeks. She pouted.

"I'm not a baby anymore."

"No, you are."

Our conversation was cutted off when someone hastily grabbed my hands and pulled me somewhere. But then, I realized that it was Jennie who pulled me. We entered an empty room as she closed the door and turned on the lights. She's glaring at me like I did something wrong again.

"When will you understand that I don't want her near you?" She angrily asked. Oh. She's pertaining to Somi.

"Jennie, she's like my dongsaeng. (동생 means younger brother/younger sister) Please. There's nothing to be jealous of." I calmly explained.

"Tch. She's flirting with you!" She shouted and it really made me flinch. "First, you didn't tell me that you invited your ex and your first love to eat with us earlier. And now, I saw you having fun with that girl! I hate it!" She added. I let out a very deep sigh and clenched my jaw because of annoyance.

"Look, Sehun and I are just friends. There's nothing going on between us anymore. It's all in the past now. He's my great buddy just like Bambam so don't be jealous of him. About Somi, how many times do I have to tell you that I treat her as my dongsaeng so don't make things a big deal and please, stop accusing her that she's flirting with me." Even though I'm starting to get mad, too, I tried to stay calm. I just want us to reconcile. She was about to speak but I spoke again.

"I love you, Jennie. I really do. So please. Trust me. I get it that you don't want to share what's yours but look, I'm not flirting with anyone and no one is flirting with me. I will only lay my eyes on you and I will only give my whole heart to you." I sincerely said. Her eyes immediately softened upon hearing what I said.

"And please, don't ignore me like that again. I will really go crazy if ever that happens again." I added.

"I'm sorry, Lisa. I just really got mad earlier because you invited your ex. And what worst is, he's your first love, too. And that thoughts burdens me." She said as she looked down and began to fiddle with her fingers so I took her hands and caressed it.

"I'm sorry, okay? But atleast try to be friends with them. Especially Somi. Treat her like she's your dongsaeng, too, okay?" She nodded. I softly kissed her forehead.

"Let's go now. The squad must be waiting for us already in the canteen." I held her hand and intertwined her fingers with mine before we walked outside the room and headed to the canteen.

This is just the beginning of our relationship but we already fought. Aigoo.
