CHAPTER 18

Lisa hurriedly came out of her room wearing a black trench coat over her simple tee and jeans ensemble. She then pulled her natural hair up in a messy bun as she walked towards the living room where Chaeyoung was.
"Liz? What do you think you're doing? You're still sick!" Chaeng immediately reacted, sitting up on the couch with a reprimanding look. Jisoo heard the girl's outburst and stepped out the kitchen.
"Yah Lisa! I told you to rest," Jisoo added with a frown.
The maknae took a deep breath and tried to mask her anxiety with a smile. She can't tell them yet, she needs to talk to someone first about it. She doesn't want them to worry, atleast she had to have a solution first before telling them.
"I'm fine Unnie! Chaeng-ah, seriously I'm okay. I really want to meet up with someone for a while now but today's the only time he's free," she said honestly. It's actually the truth.
"And who's this someone?" A newly-arrived figure questioned - Jen, with Kuma on her arms.
"Teddy-oppa."
The three girls were silent at first, not expecting her answer. It's not a secret that their Teddy-oppa had this fondness with Lisa, though all of them are close with him, the maknae having the same interest in action movies - particularly Marvel ones - she instantly became his favorite.
Hearing this, Jen nodded, "oh well, you should've told us sooner. Is manager-oppa going to fetch you?"
"We're gonna meet at YG building so oppa just sent one of the company cars," she replied.
"Okay," Jisoo finally relented. "You sure you're okay? You look pale."
Her hand automatically cupped her cheek, "I just have no make-up on so that's why.. I don't feel ill anymore, really Unnie."
"Okay, be careful Liz," Ro smiled genuinely. The statement made her freeze on her spot, fear flooding inside her chest once again. "Lisa?" Her bestfriend called out, pulling her out of her reverie.
"Huh?"
"Are you really okay?" Chaeng asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"Ah yeah.. I just remembered something. I should go now, text me if you want something for dinner." She bid them farewell and quickly left, before her Jisoo-unnie could protest more.

She watched as the producer - who she had treated as the brother she never had since pre-debut - rubbed his temple in contemplation. He just finished reading the message thread she had with this unknown creepy sasaeng.
They've been exchanging fun stories since Lisa arrived, but the mood immediately changed once she began telling him the real reason why she asked for them to meet.
"Okay first, you need to clarify something to me first," Teddy started, putting both his elbows atop the wooden table separating them. "You really like this kid?"
Lisa's eyes widened, her lips parting multiple times as she attempted to answer. "It's uhm.."
Teddy teasingly snickered, "yah it's not the right time for you to be shy. Remember years ago when that rascal Hanbin told you he had a crush on you? You quickly shattered the poor boy's heart before he can even make a move. And now this? What happened with my 'pro-work-before-hoes' Lalisa?"
"Yes, I like him Oppa," she mumbled - loud enough for Teddy to hear.
"Do you like just like him or do you like like him?" She looked incredulously at the older guy, thinking if she made the right decision asking him for help. "Oh come on, you know what I mean! You're not that clueless, you're innocent but you know things.. after all those dramas you've been obsessed with."
She sighed and looked down her hands, "I mean, he makes my heart race multiple times and actually made me feel..." she drawled. Beautiful.
"Make you feel special, yeah all those cliché but legit stuff. I was once in your position too - I mean, Jungkook's.. aish! You know what I mean."
She rolled her eyes, "I'm really regretting calling you, Oppa."
"What? This is important! Point is, is your feelings for him worthy enough to put yourself in danger like this? Once we tell Sajangnim about it, he might confiscate your phone for a week and tighten your security. He'll ask if you want to take the risk and face this head on or, be on the safer, easier side and just cut your connections with this kid."
Lisa bit her lip, her eyes wandered around the recording room for a while. "Is that the only thing he's gonna say Oppa? Don't you think Sajangnim might.. ban me from talking and seeing him completely himself?"
Teddy shook his head, "that's why I'm here pabo! I've been telling you girls to not be afraid of falling in love and dating, if I let Sajangnim stop you from doing just that.. what does it make me then? So? Do you like like that boy?"
His words made her smile, she made the right choice after all. She looked straight into his eyes and uttered her next words with certainty.
"I like him," she then exhaled, "I really do. I can see myself loving him someday, and I'm actually letting him to make me fall for him cause I already feel like it."
Teddy nodded, observing his hoobae's face. "I see, not the 'L word' yet but getting there. That's right, take your time, don't rush things - you have all the time in the world!" He then exclaimed earning chuckles from Liz. "Now let's talk about this Jigsaw-wannabe sasaeng.."
She almost laughed at his comparison but attentively listened to her senior's plans - yes, with an 's.' The man was so experienced at this kind of situations that he got tons of scenarios prepared.

She gazed outside the windshield, watching as the world pass by at a decent speed. The weight on her chest lessened a lot, and she's really grateful that she had chosen her Teddy-oppa and no one else. He's the one she trusted a lot ever since she was a trainee. She thought if not for him by her side, she wouldn't be able to compromise with their boss.
Everything's settled now Lisa. The only thing you should think about is telling your unnies and, Jungkook and his hyungs. Maybe Mina and Bambam too, cause they're also unfortunately involved.
She sighed, what an unexpected twist.. she was just resting on her bed earlier and now this happened. Why would people even--
She abruptly interrupted her own thoughts by bringing out her phone - refusing to stress herself out more.

[EDIT May 06, 2019]
hello! for those who have read this fic and are rereading, you must've noticed some changes, and for those new ones, don't worry i'll explain;
so the 'oppa' who was originally casted here to help lisa is seungri. you know his recent circumstances, so i decided to change his parts into teddy (yg's songwriter and producer - blackpink's songs are produced by him)
the other bigbang members are already enlisted in the story's time setting so i can't cast them :(
anyway, if ever you still read seungri's name somewhere on this fic, kindly point it out. thank you!
