Chapter 6: Girlfriend Material
551 Words
"Why doesn't Ed have a girlfriend?" Jin asked us all.
"Why?"
"Because Sheeran. Get it? Get it?" Again, the window wiper laugh.
"You know what?" Namjoon asked me.
"What?" I said, still laughing from the previous bad pun Jin had presented. We all had been laughing and chatting ever since Yumi had left her class. The time was already over the dispersal, and for the rest of the detention time, we all had been fooling around.
"I actually wanted to ask you... do you have a boyfriend?"
"No chance, man."
"Knew it," he chuckled, and I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Why? Is it too obvious?" I asked him, genuinely concerned about the fact.
"Yeah. I mean, you're definitely not the girlfriend material," Jin simply said, and I widened my eyes with a gasp.
"Oh, my god, it affects me so freaking much!" I sardonically said, placing a hand on my chest.
"Stop being sarcastic for once, Lisa," Yumi pursed her lips, "I don't wanna say this, but you're more like... single forever."
"Well, that's because I am."
"You've never dated anyone in your life."
At this, the boys' shared a shocked look.
"You've never dated?" Taehyung asked me in an ultra-deep voice.
"You're scaring me."
"No, but seriously?" he again asked, dramatically widening his eyes.
"I'd say you're a good actor, but you're not."
"Oh, please! Acting is my passion," he boasted, shoving a hand in my face as if to say 'stop'.
"Okay, okay, but no, I've never dated," I clarified.
Silence remained in the room for barely a minute, and suddenly, Hobi jumped up and announced, "We're gonna find Lizzy a boyfriend!"
"Wait, what?" I asked, astonished, looking incredulously at the bunch cheering at Hoseok.
"Yeah!" They said, sitting down in a circle with me in the center.
"Why am I being given the importance? Is it my last day on earth already? Am I going to die?"
"Shut up, Shawty, just tell us what you like in a guy," Yoongi sassed.
I looked up at the roof, pondering over his question. What did I like? I had never given much thought to the fact.
"You're gonna date a bat?" Jin said, and again, the laughter.
"Ha-ha, funny," I said, making a face, and then was again lost in thought. What could make me the best possible guy to go with?
Without noticing, I muttered out, "Intense eyes, sense of humor, honesty, and maybe someone to have fun with?"
"No wonder you have no boyfriend," Jimin said.
"Right? That's the first time I'm hearing this," Yumi remarked.
"Well, if a guy like that doesn't exist, then let me watch my original series with ice-cream? I guess food is love for me," I pouted, "No man's business."
"How about we watch Titanic at Jin's tonight?" Taehyung suggested.
"Yeah, my parents are out-of-town for a while, so you guys can come over," Jin agreed.
"And we'll give Lizzy a makeover for being the girlfriend material!" Jungkook came up with the idea.
"Dude, it's not a girls' night out," Namjoon gave him a look.
"Whatever, I need to ship her with someone anyway," Jimin solemnly nodded.
"I hate you all," Was all I could say, watching Yumi helplessly smiling at me, and turning my gaze to find Taehyung winking at me.
