Good Things Fall Apart
MISCONCEPTIONJennie's POV
I was taken aback when Jisoo pulled me in and pressed her lips against mine. During the kiss, I was telling myself to stop but no matter what I do both my mind and my body doesn't seem to be in sync.
This type of feeling that I am feeling right now must be exclusively for Jisoo only, I never felt these butterflies in my stomach with Lisa even though I got my eyes only at her.
Or am I mistaken? No matter how many times I kept on telling myself that I like Lisa, whenever I am with her nothing seems to be special except for the fact that I can't keep my eyes off of her pretty face.
It feels like my heart is going to explode when I felt that Jisoo is kissing me deeper and deeper. Damn it Jennie! Control yourself! Why am I slowly getting lost in her kiss?
Then finally, Jisoo pulled back and cupped my face. She looked at me in the eyes and that's how I saw the sadness in those beautiful pair of eyes while she whispered. "Stay with me, please."
I saw how her tears build up in her eyes. I have never seen Jisoo look this vulnerable before, and I felt like someone stabbed my chest just by looking at her like this.
Then I closed my eyes, I can't bear to look at her when the memory of Lisa telling me that Jisoo is in great trouble because of me crossed my mind.
"I can't. I'm sorry Jisoo." I said to her as I slowly removed her hand from cupping my face.
Just thinking about the words that I am about to say to her felt like a stab to my heart. I know Jisoo is the type of person who doesn't easily accept no for an answer, and it left me with no choice.
"I'm sorry Jisoo, but I'm with Lisa now." I half-heartedly told her. Did I just accept Lisa's idea of pretending to be her girlfriend?
Ever since I first met Lisa, I always wanted to be acknowledged by her, and if I'm lucky I wanted to be her girlfriend. But now that I am somewhat in that position, this just doesn't really feel right to me.
But when Jisoo claimed me as her girlfriend even though I never agreed to it, I felt like I am at home. Like I am right where I belong.
"I see." She replied and gave me a smile as she obviously tries to avoid looking at me.
She then turned around, went inside her car and left without another word.
My knees suddenly felt weak and I fell to the ground as I watched her car quickly disappearing from my sight.
I don't know what came into me that I suddenly bursted out crying as I sat helplessly on the ground. I looked like a child who just got lost the way that I cried my heart out.
It's not even ten minutes yet since Jisoo left but I suddenly wanted to take it all back, I wanted to take what I just said back. Regret is all over me right now and my heart really hurts like a thousand needles stabbing it all at once.
I took my phone out and I found myself staring at Jisoo's contact details.
"No. Stop it Jennie. What you did is for the best." I told myself as I bowed my head down and hugged my knees while sobbing like a helpless kid.
Then I heard footsteps approaching.
"Jennie? Is that you?" A familiar voice called my name.
I looked up and saw Kai walking towards me.
When he saw that my face is all red and wet because of my tears, he quickly ran to me and scanned every inch of my face.
"Why? Why? Why? Why are you crying? Did somebody hurt you?" He cupped my face looking at me obviously worried.
I removed his hands away from cupping my face and shook my head. "It's nothing."
"I know you Jen! Don't lie to me, you wouldn't cry over some stupid thing." He said to me.
"I told you, it's nothing." I told him and wiped my tears.
Kai helped me to stand up as I try to regain my composure.
"What brings you here? Shouldn't you be working right now?" I tried to divert his attention.
"Dad asked me to do some errand for him." Kai replied. "Now tell me what happened to you."
"I told you it's nothing." I sniffed.
"You know Jen, you're really bad at lying." He helped me fix my hair.
"Shouldn't you be doing that errand now? I need to go home." I am trying to evade his questions because if he keeps on asking me a little more I might end up wailing.
Kai grabbed my wrist as I turned to leave.
"Jen!" He said.
"I told you, I'm fine." I retorted.
"I wasn't going to ask you if you're fine. Aren't you taking your bike with you?" He said to me as he pointed at my bicycle on the sidewalk.
"Oh, sorry." I quickly grabbed my bike and left with it as fast as I can.
"You seemed really busy nowadays, I barely see you. Let's grab so
