Yeri looks around her just so she could get distracted from Seulgi’s overgrown brows. The stupid girl has this notion that when Wendy sees her brows, she would choose her instead of Chanyeol.

“So, why did you bring a six pack?” Yeri finally talk as she sees Seulgi carrying a six pack of beer.

“We all know that Wendy likes her beer, and I bet the only side that she shows Chanyeol is her good girl side. When Chanyeol sees that she likes to drink, there is a chance that he gets turned off.”

“That’s just cruel.”

“No, that’s reality. If the guy don’t love your bad side then there is no point staying.”

Yeri just sighs heavily, Seulgi in love is not worth getting in an argument with.

“ok… here we are,” Yeri adds as she sees the number in the front of the apartment door.

“Ok… I could do this.” Seulgi takes a deep breath and knocks.

Seulgi and Yeri looks surprisingly at each other as they see a plain looking guy open the door.

“I thought it was a double date?” Yeri whispers.

“No, you and I are not on a date,” Seulgi hissed at her

“Maybe he invited us to a party.”

“Hi… we're Chanyeol’s friends.” Yeri blinded the guy with her overwhelming aegyo.

“Oh, yes of course come in.”

The two immediately felt out of place as the two dressed up as if they’re heading out a club, while everyone looks like they’re in a student council meeting.

“Seulgi!” Wendy eyes widen as she looks at her.

“Why did you bring that?” Wendy looks at the beer as if Seulgi just brought in there the devil.

“Oh… I know you like it so you know.”

“Yup, Wendy… you can’t have a party without drinks.” Yeri added.

“This isn’t a party?” Seulgi was confused on why Wendy was mad, embarrass or maybe both.

“Hey Seulgi, Yeri I’m glad you two could come,” Chanyeol welcome the two girls with a brilliant smile and an awesome eyebrow move.

“hmmp… at least someone is happy to see us.”

Wendy could only facepalm at the epic fail that is going to happen to her friends.

“Guys this is Seulgi and Yeri… they are joining us today for our bible study.”

“Bible... what now?” Seulgi looks at Chanyeol in confusion.

“Why? This is what Wendy and I do, this is our group.”

“Oh, ahhh… a bible study,” Seulgi quickly hides the beer behind her.

“I…ummm… I got to return something… I’ll be back” and she quickly dash off as far as her short legs could take her.

“And I’ll go with her.” Yeri hopped away leaving the group confused on what had just happened.

Jennie is in love with Park Chaeyoung, unfortunately, the whole university seems to be in love with her too. A few months of college and never did a freshmen became as popular as her. Her name and phone number scribbled in desks and bathroom doors.

She couldn’t approach her not when she’s surrounded by her admirers, constantly fighting for her attention. The only time I could really have her focus is when we text, but she doesn’t even know that it’s me…

“Thinking of Chaeyoung again?”

“Nope.” I’m a big fat liar.

“Face it Jen, you, me, Yeri and big mouth here are going to die alone.”

When the allowance our parents sent to them run out, they would buy a big bag of lays chips and a liter of coke and just hangout by the lakeside at night. We just talk, or in times like this just keep each other company in silence.

Seulgi have been depressed eversince the bible study incident. It must have that all you can do is just watch the one you like from afar, while others who have less purer intentions than yours get to be close to her. I know how you feel, Seulgi… I know it too well.

The four of us heaves a big sigh on our pathetic love lives.

“We don’t have to die alone. I mean we have each other.” Yeri says reassuringly…

“Yeah and so what if were single? We could have just as much fun as those girls in in the city.” Joy says.

“Yup. but without the .” Seulgi added

“And were not living in the city.”

“So, what is it going to be like?”

“less and the university?”

The three of us couldn’t help but chuckle, it was corny but nothing like a brand of Joy's sense of humor to lighten up the mood.

“Joy… just eat your chips.”

*

Wendy turns away from her desk to glare at Jennie.

“Don’t you have a test you have to study too?”

“Shhh," Jennie puts her finger over , hoping to silence the glaring girl. “I’m texting my lover here.”

Wendy groans and rolls her eyes before returning to her book…

Wifey
I never ask you this but what’s the deal about your name? I mean your lifequest name?

Hubby
My lifequest name? ummm… it’s kinda corny, you know high school thing.

Wifey
I want to know

Hubby
Well… it’s the initial of my crush, I combine her bday and mine.

Wifey
kekekeke… corny…

Hubby
You don’t need to remind me.

Wifey
sowee baby… was she special?

Hubby
She was my first love.

Wifey

Hubby
awww… wifey… sorry… love you… mwah

Wifey
so, were the two of you ever together?

Hubby
no…

Wifey
So, how did you know it was love?

Hubby
Ummm… I loved her all my high school life. I cried during her graduation because I thought I could never see her again. I wrote tons of letters but never had the guts to send them.

Wifey
WAAAAHHHHH…

Hubby
Honey… that’s the thing about first love, you think it would last forever but it never does.

Wifey
Your first love was a girl?

Hubby
Yes…. Why? Who was yours?

Wifey
Zac Efron

Hubby
Seriously?

Wifey
Yeah… how many guys do you know who can play basketball while singing and dancing? no one… no one…

Hubby
lol… hehe… ok…

Wifey
So, if she’s your first love then, what am I?

Hubby
my great love…

Jennie cover her face with her pillow and shrieks in happiness, Wendy who is studying shot her an evil glare… DAH! Who cares? studying are for nerds.

Wifey
not true love?

Hubby
I think every love you go through is true. But there are just some instances where you love more… and I love you more…

Damn… I love her too.

Wifey
I love you.

Hubby
You just made me the happiest person alive.

Wifey
Then, let me spend forever telling you how much I love you.

*

Chaeyoung quickly runs to her bed and squeals happily leaving her innocent roommate wide eye in surprise.

*
“Where are you going?” Jennie asks as she sees Wendy packing up.

“To the library but before I go… I want to clear things up, this thing with Chaeyoung.”

“What about it?”

“Are you serious about her or you’re just playing her around?”

“I am… you know I am.”

Wendy is about to walk to the door when she turned back.

“Look, you’re my friend and I know you’re a decent person. But I need you to man up and tell her who you really are…”

“Are you kidding?! She’ll hate me for life.”

“Then, if that happens, you need to win her back. You don’t want this thing to snowball into something so bad that you couldn’t do anything about it anymore. Look, if you really love her, you’ll fight for her no matter what, but if you don’t then end this. Don’t pretend to be the perfect girlfriend cause you
know Chaeyoung deserves better than that.”

Wendy walks away before Jennie could give her an answer. But Wendy knows that she doesn’t need to hear the answer, all she needed to do was let her words sink in.

*
Ok, so, how am I going to do this? After much thought of what Wendy told me. I decided to come clean and ask her out, but how could she when there are fans around her that is much worse than an electric fence?

After a week of exams, tonight one of our dormmates had one of those after exams party. Everyone just comes to drink and have fun, but tonight I felt like everyone just came here to drink and flirt with Chaeyoung.

“JOY???”

We turned and saw Jisoo with her new red hair looking excitedly at us.

“JISOO???”

“JOY!!!!”

“JISOO???”

The two hug each other and starts jumping up and down as if they haven’t seen each other for ages. Did Jennie even mention the two are roommates? 

“Look at your red hair.”

“New year, new look. Do I look so cool now? eeehhh? ehhh?”  Jisoo shaking her hair as if she’s in one of those shampoo commercials.

“You look like cousin IT.” Jisoo glares at me.

“I don’t know who cousin IT is, but with the way you say it I don’t feel she looks cute.”

“Awww… forgive my buddy here, Jisoo. She’s just like thatcause her crush didn’t notice her.”

“Crush? Whoah! Who’s the lucky dog that makes your heart goes dugeun dugeun?” Jisoo tease while lifting her brow up and down…

“Park Chaeyoung.”
Jisoo got that stupid, shock look.

“wha- like for real girl!!! But everyone is like after her.”

“SHE’S NOT MY CRUSH!!!” is it hot in here or is that steam coming out of my ears?

“Oh, I’m sorry, not crush, Jennie lurvs her,” Joy teases me and she and Jisoo got these goofy grins on their faces.

“ahahahahaha”
My head quickly jerk unconsciously to that familiar laugh, I look around to see where is the source of that… and scanning…
AAAHHH!!! Girl with beautiful laugh surrounded by predators… must save her!!! Super Jennie to the rescue!!! I was ready to swoop in and save her when I realize… hmmm… she looks like she doesn’t need to be saved. I stared intently at her laughing,
looking like she's having a good ol' time. Nope… she doesn’t need saving…

Jisoo then puts her hands on my shoulder, looking at me straight in the eyes.

“Don’t let those boys intimidate you, me and Joy are going to back you up a hundred percent.”

“I don’t even know how I could compete with those guys.”
“Jen… Jen… Jen… Don’t you know anything about lurv? Sometimes you just have to play dirty, right Joy?”

“Right, Jisoo.”
And I don’t know how to feel with the way they’re smiling at each other.

PLAN: SABOTAGE EVERY GUY THAT FLIRTS WITH PARK CHAEYOUNG

TARGET 1: JAEHYUN
“So, yeah… I’m a junior management student… so if you need
-”
“OFFFF… I’m sorry.”

Jaehyun pursed his lips in irritation. This tall girl just soak him with juice and it completely mess up his flow. But he needs to remain cool if he wants Chaeyoung.

“I’m so so sorry, I’m just such a klutz,” The girl starts wiping his shirt off, “Wait a sec- You are… Jaehyun?!”

“Yeah, I am…”

“OMONA!!!!”

Chaeyoung smiles amusingly as she sees Joy jumping up and down in excitement as if she just won the lottery, and this guy Jaehyun looking so embarrass.

“I am like your biggest fan, I so lurv you! You are such a cutie.! The moment I saw you dance, I know you are the one for me. Wait… hold on a second,”

Joy gets out her phone and starts to call someone.

“ Hello mom! I just want to tell you I met the man that I’m going to marry! ”

"Whoah! Whoah! Whoah!“ Jaehyun that time couldn’t hold his cool, waving his hand in protest, but Joy just put the guy in a headlock before he could say or do anything.

“I’m going to leave you two lovebirds alone.” Chaeyoung smiles and walks away chuckling.

“Wait Chaeyoung,”

But Chaeyoung already walk away before he could explain anything. He is about to give a piece of his mind at the girl.

“Wait… where did she go?”

TARGET 2: JIMIN

“So, come on… let’s go dance.”

Jimin knows that he could get any girl the moment he steps into the dance floor and Chaeyoung shouldn’t be an exception.

“So, it is true.”

Jimin turns around and sees a red haired girl looking angrily at him.

“Wait… excuse me?” He doesn’t even know the girl.

“Wait… hold on a second,” Jimin steps back before the girl could do anything “I don’t even know you.”

“ OH!!! Is that what you say to the mother of your child?! ” The red haired girl snarls at him.

“Oh, you got someone pregnant?” Chaeyoung steps away…

“Wait… Chaeyoung! no, I don’t even know her” or does he?

“ You don’t know me! We’re going to have a baby. So, It was really dark when we made Jimin junior, but I swear it was you! ”

“No!!! look lady you got it all wrong, I don’t-”

“I think you two need to talk it out,” Chaeyoung walks away before she gets into any baby mama drama.

“Wait Chaeyoung… C’mon. I don’t even know her!” He calls out in desperation as he watches her walk away. He growls angrily as he lost the chance to be with Chaeyoung.

“Look bit- “, but before he could finish his word, He looks surprise that the red haired girl have just disappeared.

TARGET 3: JUNHOE

“Yeah… I think you’re the prettiest girl in our class.”
With his looks, abs and his tight Hollister shirt, he knows he could sweep any girl of his feet. But those fangirls just need to back off cause his attention is all devoted to Chaeyoung now.

Suddenly, the music stop and everyone groan as they hear the static from the intercom…
“PAGING KWON JUNHOE, JUNHOE IF YOU’RE HERE.
YOUR MOTHER IS WAITING OUTSIDE FOR YOU”

The announcement couldn’t have been much clearer. The whole room was filled with howls of laughter, Junhoe being the only one who couldn’t say a thing.

“No, that can’t be, my mom won’t do that.” He smiles nervously at Chaeyoung.

“OH YES SHE IS. SHE’S OUTSIDE AND SHE SAID STOPBORROWING YOUR SISTER’S HOLLISTER SHIRTS, THEY’RE TOO TIGHT FOR YOU.”

“MAMA’S BOY. MAMA’S BOY. MAMA’S BOY”

Everyone in the crowd starts chanting.

“This is ridiculous someone is just punking me!!!” He was all red in embarrassment.

“IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO COME OUT, SHE SAID SHE’LL JUST COME UP HERE AND GIVE YOU YOUR MILK. YOU NEED THAT MILK IF YOU WANT THAT ABS TO STAY THAT WAY.”

That was it…. he couldn’t even say goodbye as he dash out of there quickly.

*
Jennie watches Junhoe run off from the party.

“So, Jennie-sshi. I can get your number, right?”

Jennie could only groan after promising Taeyong, their dorm adviser her number if he lets her use the intercom.

“YES! YES! YES! Take my number, my email account, instagram and Twitter...take it all!”

Jennie runs out of there, this night of scaring away guys were much more exhausting than she could imagine but she’s not going to slow down now. She runs out to the dorm entrance to finally spend time with Chaeyoung.

“You got to be kidding me,”

She couldn’t help but groan frustratingly when right then and there in the lawn chairs, Chaeyoung is smiling happily as she chats with Taehyung.

“I’m just going to wait here.”
Jennie slumps on the wall waiting patiently for her chance.

*
“Wait… is that Irene?”
Seulgi is in one of her I’m-depress-so-I’ll-walk-alone-in- this-dark-university-grounds mood when she spotted a girl sleeping on the bench. She creeps closer and her face inches away from Irene’s as she watches the girl intently. When out of a sudden, she felt someone grabbing her shirt and shaking her furiously.

“I know what goes inside that erted mind of yours Seulgi. So, if you want to live for the next hour of your life. You better keep your erted self of me.”

“ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! GEEZ! LET ME GO!”
Seulgi pushes the girl away and huffs on the bench.

“I was just checking if you’re still breathing before I call 911 on you.”

“You’re the one who need to call 911 if you try to do
something.”

“I won’t,” Geez... who falls asleep in the park bench at night?

The two sat there in silence and Seulgi thought that Irene just drifted back to sleep.

“Still thinking of her?” Irene asks quietly, not wanting to mess up the comfortable silence.

“Always.”

Irene scoffs a laugh “You and Jennie-yah are really friends. You two do these outrageous things for the girls you like.”

“We're girls, we know how to make someone feel special.”

“Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to impress someone. That we forget to think that maybe all the girl need is a simple rose and a note, and someone who is going to make her feel like they’re always there for her.”

Seulgi have to think of that.

“Have you really just talk, like talk, talk with her?”

“I…ummm… before...”
“Maybe that’s what Wendy needs. Someone who’s going to be there for her.”

Seulgi in the silence felt like she got the answer that she had always ask herself. Maybe it’s not the brows, or the abs or the height that was going to make Wendy like her, maybe all she needed to do was just be there for the girl.

“Irene… I- ” She stop before she could finish what she was saying, when she sees Irene sleeping soundly on the bench…

“Thanks,” She says sincerely before putting her jacket on the sleeping dragon, and continue on with her much better moods as she walk back to her dorm.

*
THUD

The moment she slumps on the concrete, Jennie quickly woke up and looks back, she curse silently as she sees the place empty. Chaeyoung had left with Taehyung somewhere while she waited there and wasted her chance. She dusts herself off and starts walking back, somewhere she doesn’t know.

*

Other than the rumored ghosts and Sadako, our university grounds are pretty safe at night. It’s actually one of her guilty pleasures to walk around by herself. She love my friends and all, but sometimes it’s hard for me to show them this side.
This pathetic, desperate crazy in love side. She had to text them back of course. She just told them, she needed to go to the bathroom bad. That pretty much did the trick and they left me alone after that.

“Oh shoot.”

she froze on her tracks, what else can you do if you see a ghost? Jennie usually thought that ghosts can’t scare her but now that she sees this illuminating creature.

“Jennie.”

ACCCCKKKK!!!! It knows her name!!! gulp!!!

“Hey.”

“Oh, it’s you,” Damn, Chaeyoung is so pale she thought for once she was a ghost.

“Are you ok?”

“I thought you were a ghost.”

She laugh again, she should stop that or a fly might get in there one day.

“What are you doing?” she asks.

“The party was getting too crowded so I ummm… just needed to walk around. You?”

She showed me a plastic bag with chips.

“I went home before the party is over but I didn’t feel sleepy so I just walk around. I mean no offense to Lisa we're bestfriends since kindergarten, but I’m still trying to get used to not having a room to myself, like you know blast the music to the max, not caring if my room is a mess.”

It was actually a pretty night, the stars, the cool breeze and her and me sitting on the grass in silence. She tilts her chips towards me and I wave my hand in a no. After some silence…

“So, I saw you with Taehyung” and With Jaehyun, Jimin, Junhoe but she doesn’t need to know that.

“Oh him? yeah… we talk a bit at the party.”

"What did you talk about? "
Chaeyoung purse her lips to keep herself from smiling. 

“Do you like him?”

“What?! No."

"Good... cause if the two of you do end up together, I feel bad for your kids."

"Fine... I won't."

Jennie could feel her heart almost jump out of her chest when Chaeyoung smiles back at her.

"Do you like somebody?" Chaeyoung just answers Jennie's question with a soft smile. "I guess you do."

“Yeah” Then, Chaeyoung looks at Jennie with a bit of hesitation, as if she's unsure of what she's about to say.

"Ummm... remember the time when my date stood me up?"

"Oh... HE must be regretting that now."
Chaeyoung closes her eyes at the mention of the word HE.

"No... What... it's nothing... I'm-"

"Say what you need to say."
"He's not a guy. I was meeting a girl," Chaeyoung's eyes are close as if she feared how Jennie would see her.

"Oh... a girl."

The two were quiet for a second.

“so, ummm…” Chaeyoung looks like she is struggling to say it. She looks up at Jennie, who for once didn’t have any mischief or erted thoughts in her eyes.

“Do you ever like… love girls? or you’re just playing with them?”

“Well… I’m a very romantic person. I fall in love easily, I like boys, girls even dogs… especially dogs. Seulgi has this chow chow name poodles, I’m still falling hard for him and I don’t think I will ever stop.”

Chaeyoung sighs heavily frustrated that Jennie couldn’t even be serious for once.

“What? I like fluffy things,” Jennie sensing that Chaeyoung was having trouble so she stops goofing around.

“Truth is, I never liked anybody seriously.”

'Except you, I’m seriously in love with you.' Jennie thought to herself .

"But I don't think it would matter who we fall for. Why?”

“Ummm…I don’t know… I had… well… I always like girls even when we were in high school. I like guys like I admire really good looking guys but I never seem to be ummm.”

Chaeyoung shifted uncomfortably, struggling with how to say it. Jennie easily senses how uncomfortable Chaeyoung is with opening up with the topic.

“To see yourself romantically with them?”
Chaeyoung could only muster a nod,

“Maybe you just haven’t given boys a chance. I mean we came from an all girls school, the only guy there is our PE teacher, if he’s actually a guy cause he got really big s and our science teacher who looks like Shrek.”

Chaeyoung lets out a laugh,

“I see tons of guys after you so you never know… one of them could be the one” WTH… why am I pushing her to somebody else? Jennie thought.

“This… this is like my dirty secret, like when I go to church I wanted to confess but I don’t even have the guts. I’m so confuse why it’s so wrong, I mean… I’m not hurting anybody… but…" Chaeyoung stop when she felt like she was telling Jennie too much "Oh Gosh… I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be burdening you like
this.”

“No don’t be… I’m glad I could help… I mean after what I put you through… it’s the least I could do. ”

“I couldn’t tell anyone about this and you're the only one that i know who seems to be open minded about these things. That’s why when your friends start teasing me about us. I got scared that what if I’m being obvious? I just don’t know how people could accept it, how I could accept it. What if I start dating guys and then realize that I rather be with girls? That it’s not some “phase” that I am really like this.. how can I-”

Every word from Chaeyoung's mouth were filled with worry and fear but the moment, that Jennie link her pinky with hers. Chaeyoung felt those fears slowly melting away.

“Hey… hey… stop,” Jennie tries to calm the girl.
Chaeyoung didn’t know how that simple gesture could have meant the world to her.

“Someday when you’ll realize who you really are, who you want to be with and the world will eventually shut you out, I will still be here. I may not be much but I’ll stay with you. I promise you that.”

And Jennie meant every word of it. Chaeyoung felt a heavy burden off her chest was being lifted off, now that she had somehow revealed this secret. 

“So, what am I going to do if you don’t fulfill your promise?” Chaeyoung asks teasingly.

Jennie pouts thoughtfully before smiling brilliantly

“I’ll cut off my fingers," The mischievous look wasback again before she added "with a nail cutter.”

And she didn’t know how over chips, her whole reality doesn’t seem to be such a waking nightmare anymore. And she like it, she like that Jennie, was part of her reality.
