Expression and Vision (Jenlisa)

CHAPTER 28

"Oh? So you’ve been checking me out, huh?"

"Should I be flattered, Jisoo unnie?"

Rosé’s tone was teasing, but there was an underlying curiosity.

Jisoo, her confidence rising with the teasing, bit her lip and shrugged casually.

"Depends. Do you want to be flattered?"

The entire table exploded with reactions. Lisa dramatically slapped her hand over her mouth, her eyes wide with shock.

Nayeon, never one to shy away from stirring the pot, started clapping. Dahyun was trying to contain her laughter, while Jihyo and Tzuyu looked on in disbelief, unsure if this was all part of some ongoing joke or something deeper.

"Okay, okay! What’s happening here?"

Sana finally broke the tension with a laugh, looking between Rosé and Jisoo like she was trying to piece together what was going on.

"I smell a new couple" Irene stated.

Rosé raised an eyebrow, grinning at the challenge.

"Well, I don't mind "

Her voice was light, but there was a flicker of something deeper in her eyes.

Jisoo’s heart skipped a beat. Were they still just teasing each other, or was there more to it? She could see it in Rosé’s expression too—uncertainty mixed with curiosity, like both of them were testing the waters.

"Well, this is getting interesting," Jennie teased, her gaze flicking between Rosé and Jisoo.

"But Jisoo Unnie, aren’t you the one always saying to me that Rosé’s your type?"

Jisoo turned bright red, her friends immediately picking up on Jennie’s subtle hint that maybe, just maybe, Jisoo had been saying was true. The teasing intensified, and soon the whole table was throwing playful comments at both Jisoo and Rosé.

But in the midst of the chaos, Jisoo and Rosé shared a look—uncertain but intrigued. Neither of them knew if their flirting was just for fun or if there was something real behind it, but they both realized something had shifted. And only Jennie knew just how real Jisoo’s feelings for Rosé actually were.

After lunch, they went to the arcade area and were playing games on their own.

That's when,

Jeongyeon dragged Nayeon to the washroom, her grip firm despite Nayeon’s slaps at her hands.

As they stumbled inside, Nayeon, frustrated, grabbed Jeongyeon’s collar to get her attention. In her haste, she accidentally pulled too hard, causing one of Jeongyeon’s shirt buttons to pop open, exposing her cleavage. Both of them froze, their faces turning red as they stared at the unexpected reveal.

Jeongyeon, always quick to react, smirked.

“What’s this? You being a pervert, Nayeon?”

Nayeon immediately let go of Jeongyeon’s collar, her face bright red. She glanced down at her own hands as if they’d betrayed her and quickly withdrew them.

"I didn't mean to! You should button up!"

She stammered, her eyes darting away.

Jeongyeon raised an eyebrow as she slowly buttoned up her shirt, her movements deliberately slow, almost teasing. The air between them grew heavier, tension building as Nayeon, flustered, watched Jeongyeon’s fingers work. Neither of them said a word, but the heat between them was undeniable.
