Courtship # Jenlisa

---

Lisa’s POV

I’m sitting with my friends, enjoying lunch. It feels good to laugh again, especially after so many tough days. Suelgi and IU are here, and I’m finally able to forget about the torture Taehyung and Jennie put me through.

Suelgi leans in and whispers with a mischievous smile, "IU is beautiful, right?" She wiggles her eyebrows playfully.

"Of course she is," I whisper back.

"Don’t tell me you like her," I tease.

"Aish, monkey! I don’t like her. Besides, I have a crush. The love of my life," Suelgi says, grinning like an idiot.

I raise an eyebrow. "So who is it?"

Suelgi’s face immediately turns serious.

"It’s Irene… my Irene," she whispers.

My jaw drops. "Don’t tell me it’s Rosie?" I shout a little too loudly, making Suelgi frown.

"Of course not! It’s Irene. I’ve had my eye on her ever since I stepped foot into this university," Suelgi says, looking embarrassed by her own confession.

I cringe, feeling awkward. "Okay, okay. But… you know Rosie, right?"

Suelgi pauses. "Yeah, I know Rosie. She’s one of your friends, right?"

I nod. "Yeah, she’s my friend. But she’s not part of what’s been happening. She didn’t do anything."

Suelgi looks skeptical. "How can you be sure? She didn’t even help you when you were getting tortured by her friends. She just watched."

"She’s a good friend, Suel," I say softly. "You’ll see when you meet her."

Suelgi shrugs but doesn’t say much more. "Then let me meet her," she says sarcastically, taking a sip of her soda.

"Are you challenging me?" I ask, giving her a playful glare.

"I’m not challenging you. I just want to meet your so-called good friend," she says, smirking.

"She is a good friend, Suel," Jisoo interrupts, noticing the tension between us.

"Then let me meet her," Suelgi says again.

"You can meet her soon," Jisoo replies, trying to calm things down.

Just as I’m about to respond, I flinch when I feel someone’s hand slip into mine. I look down and see IU smiling at me. I can’t help but smile back, holding her hand while Suelgi and Jisoo continue to bicker. Neither of them notices us as they’re too caught up in their argument.

Jennie’s POV

"Come on, bro. Let’s go approach Lisa again and mess with her," Jin says, nudging Taehyung, who's busy flirting with me—something I’m not exactly enjoying. I secretly roll my eyes.

"Can you…?" Taehyung starts to say, but I cut him off.

"Stop. Let me make her day worse," I say as I stand up, ready to make my move.

I walk over to where Lisa is sitting, smiling and holding hands with IU. It annoys me to see them having such a sweet, innocent moment.

I grab an orange juice from another table, making sure the owner knows I’m in charge here. I am the daughter of the university’s owner—no one dares to confront me.

As I reach Lisa’s table, I pour the juice over her head, watching as it splashes and drips down like a cracked egg.

"Serves you right, bitch," I say with a smirk.

"What is your problem, Jennie?!" IU shouts, standing up in fury.

"Tsk. Did you just shout at me?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"Isn’t it obvious?" she shoots back sarcastically. "So what if I did?"

"Are you challenging me?" I ask, matching her intensity.

"Yes, I am," she says, her eyes locked on mine.

We hold eye contact, both filled with anger.

"IU, it’s okay. Don’t fight with her. I’m fine," Lisa says weakly, grabbing IU’s wrist to pull her away from the table.

I smirk, watching as they walk away. IU lost this round.

As soon as they leave, I see Rosie following them. What is she doing?

I shake my head and return to my table.

"Wow, Jennie, baby," Taehyung says, clapping as he approaches me.

"You were too slow, so I made my own move," I say, heading back to my seat.

As I walk through the hallway, I hear my two bitches calling after me.

"Jennie! Jennie! Wait!"

I stop and turn to see Irene and Nayeon panting as they catch up.

"Why did you do that?" Irene asks, looking irritated. "That nerd was just sitting with her friends."

"Tsk, she’s only acting like that because she found out her crush, the Gucci girl, Suelgi, is friends with the nerd," I say, rolling my eyes.

"Stop pretending to care about that nerd. I remember you laughing when Taehyung gave Lisa bruises," I continue, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

Irene scoffs. "But it’s different when it’s you, Jennie."

"What’s the difference?" I ask, genuinely curious.

"You said you were just going to watch Taehyung torture Lisa. Not like this," Irene says, frustration creeping into her voice.

"I changed my mind," I say with a smirk before walking away from them.

"Jennie!" they call after me again, but I don’t turn back.
