Chapter 10

"I'm sorry, she's dating me," Lisa stuck out her tongue.

"Someday she'll break up with you," Kai shrugged. "And she will date a good man, like me," he pointed out arrogantly, sitting on a stool on the counter to continue with his reading.

"Keep talking, KID," Lisa teased him like an older sister.

Chaeyoung rolled her eyes, not very fan of that typical game between them and took Lisa's phone to call the pizzeria, then noticing a message from an unknown number.

"Hey, look," she handed it to Lisa who looked curiously at the screen, Chaeyoung looking over her shoulder.

+82-XXX-XXXX

hey lisa
it's jungkook

"Oh," Lisa pursed her lips to avoid smiling the way her body demanded.

"Jungkook?" Chaeyoung questioned tilting her head and Lisa looked up, shrugging her shoulders in response although for God's sake her stomach was pirouetting with emotion. She had not seen Jungkook during the week, although she had looked for him unintentionally and it was disappointing not to see him on Monday morning but it was to be expected, she was the only one who was late on Mondays.

hi jungkook!

Lisa then remembered about the tutoring stuff, oh, right, he was talking to her for that surely. "I've agreed to help him with English, we're classmates," she explained to Chaeyoung and then frowned. "Didn't I tell you?"

Chaeyoung shook her head. "You two kept talking after the tattoo day?"

"Yeah, we meet sometimes in college," she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, feeling that slight flutter of butterflies in her stomach as she remembered everything, especially that Saturday night when she had been escorted to the bus stop by him and Jimin and Yuqi of course and they were going there anyway so she shouldn't be feeling that special but she couldn't help it. "I found him in the liberal course, you know, English I, and I sat down with him, apparently he doesn't know anything about English and well, I'll help him," she explained to her best friend with a big smile.

Chaeyoung stared at her for long seconds until her eyes narrowed. "Lisa, are you sure you don't like him?"

Lisa widened her eyes.

"What?"

What that had to be with it?

"Lisa, you like him!" Chaeyoung cooed, amused. "Free classes? From you?" she scoffed.

"Yah, you say it as if I-"

"As if you were always trying to get money from everything? You are like that Lisa"

"I've already told you that my major is expensive," she defended herself. "Besides, it would be rude, he really needs help"

"If you say so," Chaeyoung shrugged, rolling her eyes. But then she thought better and asked: "Are you sure he doesn't like you, then?"

Lisa stammered in embarrassment. "Yes, that is, no, I mean he is very nice, don't you think?" She laughed nervously. "Besides, you know, he doesn't see me that way. Now we're officially friends," she pointed out more to herself than to her best friend, she had to remember her place.

"Friends?"

"Yeah, you know, I want to meet him and that. Free tattoos!" she added with amused emotion, which led her to remember her best friend's tattoo and check how she was. She did it every day. "It looks so good"
