Episode 2
Lisa Manoban
The class was dismissed as the bell rang. Students hurriedly exited the classroom with their friends. I stood up and approached Jennie, who was reorganizing her belongings in her bag. I surprised her by placing my hands on her table. I laughed, "You've been jumpy this morning, why is that?"
Jennie Kim
"It must be the coffee; I'm drinking a lot of coffee these days," Jennie sighed and stood up, forcing me to back up a little.
Lisa Manoban
"Too much coffee can be bad for you, babe." I cautioned.
Jennie Kim
"Don't worry about it; let's go, I'm hungry."
Lisa Manoban
I returned my gaze to Jisoo and Rose. "Meet us in the cafeteria, guys!"
Lisa Manoban
They laughed and waved us off. As expected, people's gazes were drawn to us as we strode down the corridors, hands intertwined. When we made our relationship public a little over six months ago, I believe it caught them off guard. Perhaps we don't come across as gay.
Lisa Manoban
My hand was being squeezed even more tightly. I noticed Jennie glaring at some boys who were staring at me. I laughed, let go of her hand, and wrapped my arm around her waist, drawing her closer to me.
I leaned down and whispered, "They're not going to take me away from you, babe. I'm all yours."
Jennie Kim
"I just don't like the way they're looking at you."
Lisa Manoban
"I know. It's pretty obvious."
Lisa Manoban
We reached the cafeteria and sat down at our usual table. I went to order our food while she wait. I ordered some pasta and soda for us four, including Jisoo and Rose. The two of them were already there chatting when I came back.
Lisa Manoban
They thanked me as I distribute their food out. I sat down next to Jennie and we started to dig in as we talked about various of things.
Lisa Manoban
By the way, these two were invited over Chanyeol-sunbae's party this Friday, and they want me to bring you. Do you want to come or do you have some things to do?" I directed my question to Jennie.
Jennie Kim
"Sure. I'd love to." It's been a hectic week because of the upcoming Intramurals so it'll be nice to let lose just for a day
Jennie Kim
"I bet Rose is excited though, don't you have a crush on that upperclassman?"
Rośe
"Ugh, I don't like him, please. Stop teasing me."
Lisa Manoban
We laughed at her. It's clear as the sky that she likes him so there's no point of denying it to us. Rose is pretty easy to read. She's been giving the guy the heart eyes ever since she first saw him playing Basketball.
Jisoo
"I highly doubt that."
Lisa Manoban
Rose smacked her at the back and went back on her food. We were done just ten minutes before our next class. We walked back together to the classroom and huddled together to chat while we wait for our teacher to come.
Lisa Manoban
Few minutes later, our teacher arrived and we went back to our seats.
teacher
"Good Morning class!"
Students
"Good Morning, ma'am!"
teacher
"Before we begin, can I ask who is on the Student Council here? I haven't talked to Irene yet, so can someone enlighten me? Update me, please," Miss Jung asked as she stood in front of the class.
Lisa Manoban
She is in charge of the Student Council, so anything pertaining to the council and the students is referred to her.
teacher
"Yes, go on dear. How's everything going so far?"
Jinyoung
"We're ninety-eight percent ready for the Intramurals next week, ma'am. We're just having some finishing touches. We're going to start setting everything up on Thursday."
teacher
"That's good. Do you guys need anything else?"
Students
"No, ma'am. So far, we're good."
teacher
"Alright. Thank you, dear. You may sit down." Miss Jung said. "Now on to our class. Can someone please tell me, where did we stop last lecture?"
Lisa Manoban
A lot of my classmates raised their hands. The day flew by, and before we knew it, we were packing our belongings and preparing to leave, with our final subject teacher giving last-minute reminders.
Lisa Manoban
We left together and bid goodbyes as we went on to different paths to go home. I accompanied Jennie to her home. It was six pm so it's quite dangerous to walk alone and I still want to spend some more minutes with her.
As we reached her house, I gave her a kiss on the forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow. Go inside now."
Jennie Kim
"You don't always have to accompany me. I can go home by myself, you know?"
Lisa Manoban
"I know, cupcakes but it's getting dark I have to go with you. Someone may kidnap you, I can't risk that."
Jennie Kim
"Oh stop it. You're overthinking. I can protect myself from them I'm not that fragile."
Lisa Manoban
"I know you are. But I still worry."
Jennie Kim
"I understand you. But when you can't accompany me, that's okay. I can handle it."
Lisa Manoban
"Alright, baby."
Jennie Kim
"Can we stick to one pet name only? I don't like being called cupcake."
Lisa Manoban
"Why? It suits you. You're as sweet as cupcake."
Jennie Kim
"Still. I don't like it."
Lisa Manoban
"Fine. I just call you baby or babe from now on.
Lisa Manoban
"Bye-bye now. I love you." I gave her another kiss on the forehead.
Jennie Kim
"I love you too. Bye."
Lisa Manoban
Just when I turn my heels to leave, the door opened and Jennie poked her head outside and gave me a flying kiss before shutting the door again.
I laughed, shaking my head and left.
