(One Kiss; Part II)

»NARRATION«

(En ligne; French for online)

Lisa woke up to a bright ray of sunshine hitting her eyes. Rising up, she yawned before stretching her arms to welcome the day.

"Oh wait....fuck." She grumbled as she paused mid-stretch, her mind instantly replaying the events of last night. Her eyes widened over the thought that she kissed her enemy and fucked up her life. How badly she wished it was just a nightmare. But no, her lips were still quivering from the sensation of sharing the kiss with Mr Jeon Jungkook.

This was bad at many levels; one, of course that they were enemies, and second, they were roommates in this never ending quarantine and it only meant one thing- whatever shit they do, they still have to face each other everyday and so in no possible way can she ignore the guy, even if she wants to.

"Listen up, Lisa" her inner soul called out. "It wasn't you who initiated it, he was the one to shove in his lips with yours and you just kissed back. The other way back would've been much worse." Lisa nodded at the thought; but she couldn't deny that it was an accident, caused by a mere infatuation. The two were deeply involved and the feeling was consensual- he had asked for her consent. Also to note, she indeed had enjoyed the heated moment.

However, the aftermath was what she'd been struggling with. They had been ignoring each other and Lisa remembered the latter's last words before heading his room that he wasn't going to attend today's lecture and had asked if she could share her notes with him.

She wanted to still sort things out between them, they can't be ignoring each other till eternity and the topic in some way or the other will return to them. She dragged herself towards his room, taking heavy breaths. She was just about to talk when she saw the door ajar and the boy had been talking to someone over the phone.

"Shhh...don't cry hun, I assure you. Yes Tzuyu, things would turn out just right." She overheard, her heart punctured like a deflated balloon, that she had mustered with hopes and courage. She quietly tiptoed back, to cry over her heartbreak.

Yes why not, first that douche kissed her last night and now he's talking, nay, consoling his ex girlfriend about random shit she isn't aware of.

What a misery this quarantine has become.

Lisa impatiently tapped tapped her pen on her table while waiting for her teacher to enter the meeting room. It was the biology period, the teacher was already running late and the students were waiting for her since half an hour.

Attendance to these lectures was obligatory but defaulters like Jungkook were masters in bunking them. Lisa in fact had always despised online classes for a fact. The idea of staying awake in front of your laptops and digital handsets for hours and taking down notes was a stressful task in itself, given the sudden increase in workload that drained the life out of the students.

In conclusion, Lisa wished the class to get cancelled.

And like always, luck was never on her side. Just when she was hopeful for the class to get cancelled, the teacher popped into the meeting room as the students greeted her in pretended admiration. "Good morning class! Its biology now, right?" The teacher asked, reading her schedule. "Ofcourse it is bitch, its you who's blind I guess." Lisa muttered under her breath, but to her dismay she didn't realise her mic was unmuted and the whole class heard her rant.

Oopsie-

"Ms Manoban, if you have so much problem with me taking your class, please don't bother yourself in attending it." The teacher scowled, glaring through her screen. "S-sorry Mrs Kim." She apologetically replied. "I forgot to mute myself, I will do it imme-" "No no, Lisa. I'd like you to keep it on, so as your video. Let me see how attentively you listen to my lecture." The ugly woman flashed a smirk.

Bitch, Lisa cursed in her head.

"Today's topic we're starting with is osteoporosis, from where we had left." The teacher continued the session, whilst Lisa's mind had already drifted somewhere else. She kept praying for the class to get over soon to get done for the day. But being in constant scrutiny from time to time with her bitchy teacher peeking in to check if her audio and video weren't turned on or not was making it difficult to leave the class.

And thats when the class witnessed the most absurd, shocking, strange, uncanny (and a couple number of similar adjectives) thing ever. Jungkook barged into Lisa's room, half naked- only in his boxers and a towel hung around his neck and disheveled hair. For a moment Lisa wasn't aware of the same, until she heard his voice from behind and his figure exposed in front of the camera, completely.

"Lisa-yah, I'm taking a shower. You didn't switch off the geyser for me right?" He inquired with an innocent pout on his face as Lisa ran towards him, ignoring her teacher's bullshit as she kept calling her back.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" She whispered, making sure nobody could hear them. As if he couldn't take enough hints, he asked loudly, "What do you mean? I just came to ask ㅡ don't tell me you're playing games without me!"

He made way towards her laptop on her desk, his handsome face, biceps and abs now in full display as Lisa heard a few gasps from the other students, specifically the girls. "Excuse me Ms Lisa what is Jungk-" the teacher's voice glitched a little due to poor network connectivity as she had to exit the room. And thats when a few girls put on their cameras, flattering their eyelashes like shameless sluts. The rest of the class laughed and shoved in dirty jokes while the teacher was away.

"Lisa, you're stuck in the lockdown with this hottie, lucky bitch!" One of them winked.

"He...he's my cousin, yes. We live together-" Lisa forcibly smiled, pushing the boy away from the screen as the teacher resumed. Just then, "Are you seriously brother zoning me right now Lali ㅡ shit MRS KIM! Why on earth didn't you tell me that the class is going on-" "Yes Mr Jeon, may I know the reason why you didn't attend today's class?" Mrs Kim grinned a sadistic smile.

"Uh...I guess I gotta leave." Jungkook excused himself awkwardly as he sprinted out like a crazy ostrich.

"So you're dating him I see..."was her remark as Lisa sat down in embarrassment, her cheeks puffed red not in a mood to defend back. Her classmates weren't helping either.

Some cooed, "Get a room!" "They were enemies right? Hiding their relationship I see." "Okay enough class." The teacher announced flashing a creepy stare, before retracting back to the topic.

Finally over with the lecture, Lisa sighed a breath of relief reminiscing how she had almost fainted from those few moments of shock and the class had turned into an absolute nuisance.

She balled her fists as she aggressively charged towards Jungkook's room. She pushed the door open without knocking twice, but instantly gasped midway; the boy had just returned from the shower, water droplets trickling from his hair to his rock hard abs and the towel wrapped around his tiny waist made him look ethereal.

"Do you always like to be naked?!" Lisa hollered as she made a sharp 180 degree turn. "Your fault you didn't knock." He answered completely perplexed, as if he was the most innocent soul that existed on the earth.

"Yes exactly, thats an excuse you might use for what happened today too?" "That was a mistake, okay? I thought classes were already over."

"They were supposedly, until that ugly bitch scheduled another class but started it thirty minutes late."

"You think she might send me to detention if she runs through the attendance record?" He asked in a muffled voice as he put on his shirt.

"Theres no detention for online classes Jeon." Lisa deadpanned as the latter nodded with the sudden realisation.

"Oh right!" he pouted. "I noticed you were at my room this morning. Was there something you needed?"

"You saw me? I....yes, I did come here but since you were talking to your girlfriend-"

"Ex girlfriend." He corrected her. "Right, ex girlfriend. So I headed back. Why were you talking to her anyway?"

"She is stressed from this whole quarantine situation. Like us, even she's now stuck in Tokyo and you know Tzuyu, she tends to panic a lot over these things. So she keeps calling me from time to time since she needs to talk to someone, thats it."

"You're friends with your ex?"

"Yeah, so?" Jungkook replied nonchalantly, assuming it was the most elementary thing in the world.

Lisa now felt stupid for making assumptions about Jungkook earlier this morning.

"Nevermind, forget that I asked." She said, before stepping out but Jungkook held her wrist, preventing her from taking another step.

"You still didn't answer my question." "Oh..." she said remembering it, before continuing, "I came here to talk about last night."

Lisa turned to face Jungkook, who flinched; he had been trying to avoid that conversation the entire day, hoping things will fall in their place on their own.

"Uhm...actually Lisa, I'm really sorry for my foolishness last night. I really shouldn't have done that, this is kinda wrong at so many levels, my behaviour with you." Lisa immediately understood what he had been meaning to say, she didn't know how to proceed this conversation further, but she involuntarily blurted out, "Did you mean anything you did last night? Did that kiss mean anything?"

"No." He answered, feeling sorry again. "That kiss was unintentional and uncalled for."

Everything came crashing down for Lisa the very instant. On one end, she was so hopeful towards their relationship and here he was, being sorry for everything.

An unsettled silence followed by, no one uttering a single word.

"If I'm frankly speaking, although I'm sorry I shouldn't't have initiated the kiss, given the time and situation of everything," Jungkook started, "but I can't deny that I've actually wanted to do it for a long time now Lisa."

"Wh-what?"

"Despite the fact we've been hating each other for God knows how long, I can't deny the chemistry that has been forming between us. I got to know certain things about you, completely new to me, disregarding my previous judgements about you. Living with you I've discovered a different side of you, a much cooler and softer version of the bold woman I've seen before. And so..." he continued, fiddling with his fingers before directly staring at Lisa, "I don't really think we can take things back like they were before. We can't and I don't want them to be the same way. I'm willing to overlook every single argument, all the beef we have between us, so if you have the slightest of feelings for me, maybe we can work this odd relationship out. Only if you do and only if you're okay with it." His eyes softened a little, a hopeful stare evident in them.

"Yes." She answered, with tears in her eyes, "I'm willing to Jungkook." The girl continued, crazily in love with the guy before her.

"Thank you so much for giving us a chance Lali-" Jungkook responded, but was cut off midway when Lisa stepped on her toes and sealed her lips with his.

FIN.
