JENNIE

We picked teams at random.

Lisa was paired with Bobby.

And I was paired with Hanbin.

Tough luck, I thought.

Jinhwan kept score.

How did I end up in this situation…

I was spacing out.

It was mid-game and Lisa & Bobby were leading.

“Ya, pay attention” Hanbin nudged me, looking annoyed.

“Shouldn’t I be saying that to you? You’re the one throwing all the gutter balls,” I snapped.

He glared at me.

“Ya, you two should stop bickering and start playing. Look at the scores” Jinhwan said, laughing.

I was usually pretty good at this but for some reason I just couldn’t do it right when I’m next to this idiot.

Deep breaths, Jennie.

Manager oppa, who was sitting right next to Jinhwan, faced us.

“Behave guys.” he added

“I will if he does” I told him.

“Oh so I’m the one misbehaving?” Hanbin answered back.

I could feel my face turning red in outrage but I kept calm.

“Let’s just play and get this over with, shall we?”

Minutes later..

“Go go go!” Hanbin was cheering at the top of his lungs.

 The ball reached the end of the lane and came in contact with the pins.

And as soon as the last one fell, 

“Yesss!!!!” we screamed at the same time.

He hugged me and we jumped up and down.

We ended up winning - so unexpectedly that we were a little too overjoyed about our victory.

Bobby, Lisa and Jinhwan looked at each other and then started to laugh.

When we realized, we immediately let go.

Control yourself, Jennie.

After our managers paid for our games,

Jinhwan offered to cook pasta for us back at the dorms.

Lisa was more than glad to accept the invitation.

She asked him if she could watch the preparation as she wanted to learn how to cook non-instant food.
