Lisa tried her best to refrain from making a sound, her pouch and her precious black timberland high-heeled boots onto one hand, and the other hand being used to balance herself, tiptoeing all the way out.
She wasn't wearing a dress or anything. Sure, she had her sudden reasons for attending but she had an image to keep - she still had to stand out amongst them. If not the most eye-catching, then at least one of them.
Wearing a yellow mid-rib top (yellow's her favourite colour, anyway), a black fitted skirt which caressed her hips, along with her long, slender legs, lastly pairing it up with an oversized white polo that Jungkook had given her last time she slept at his place.
Not that they ever slept with each other, though. How unfortunate.
As she was midway towards their dining area, the lights turned on, making Lisa squeal a bit before she quickly covered her mouth.
"And where do you think you're going dressing like that, Miss Manoban?" Chaeyoung asked in her ever-so-hot Australian accent.
Lisa didn't dare to turn around and face the girls. Yes, the girls. She knew that not only was Chaeyoung there, but also Jennie and Jisoo.
"Going to the party." Lisa sighed. "Thought you girls were already asleep so I planned to go by myself. It's urgent, I know we already declined but I need to see Bam."
"Okay. Don't you tell inform Jungkook that we're going. We didn't tell our boyfriends too, you know," she overheard Jennie's voice.
We're?
She turned around, her eyes widening upon seeing her girls already dressed. Oh, of course. They wouldn't miss a party, though they already declined. Who thought that they weren't that exhausted after their promotions?
"Let's surprise them!" Jisoo giggled, skipping towards Lisa and immediately pulled her to go out.
>><<
Lisa has been constantly thinking about two things--one, is that Bambam is there in the party, practically heartbroken already, and that she needs to go there to comfort him. Two, is that Suji is also at that party, and is possibly talking to Jungkook right now.
How did she know? Well, Jeon Junghyun's boss is the celebrant, and he basically has the list of attendees.
Jungkook wasn't aware of this, actually--but Suji and Lisa talked once again, just after Jungkook dropped Lisa off to YG Entertainment.
Imagine how irritated she was upon seeing that girl. However, Suji looked sincere, like she really wanted to talk to Lisa. The girls were completely against the idea, but Lisa had this gut that she should talk to her.
There, Lisa and Suji talked in private.
> e a r l i e r
"Just say whatever you want to say. I don't have much time," Lisa deadpan told Suji.
Suji sighed, gulping. "I love him . . . so much."
"And do you think that I don't?"
Suji bitterly smiled. "He seems so happy and in love with you . . . he's hiding a lot, Lisa. Why are you settling for this?"
"He'll tell me whatever he's hiding. Just wait, okay? I'm not pressuring him to do so."
Suji began to shake her head. "Do you seriously think he'll tell you?" she asked her. "He was heartless. A total maniac. But I . . . I helped him."
Lisa's heart began to break. This was what she afraid of - hearing the other side of the story.
"I loved him so much, to the point that I was willing to leave him so he could change. I've done everything for him. Everything, I'm telling you."
Lisa shook her head, smirking. "You're making me look like a fucking antagonist right now, gosh," Lisa sarcastically giggled. "I told you, I don't care if I appear--"
"Let me talk to him."
"No," Lisa sternly told her.
"I just want to talk to him, Lisa."
"Are you deaf or something?" Lisa wasn't like this.
Everyone knows that she isn't normal a bitch, but look at her now. She's beginning to appear like that typical antagonist who's possessive over her boyfriend, and won't let the ex (or that one true love) enter his life again.
"I clearly said no. And as long as we're together, I won't even like the idea of you two talking."
Lisa stood up, not hearing Suji out. She knew that Suji would tell her how Jungkook and her were, how their love story went on before, how Jungkook loved her.
Fuck, Jungkook loved her.
Surely, she was his first love. And first love never dies as the saying goes.
She was admittingly scared and insecure. It's not that she didn't trust Jungkook, but she didn't trust Suji. Her boyfriend's ex still harbors feelings for him, how could she not feel at least a bit worried?
> p r e s e n t
They've finally arrived at the party. The first thing her eyes seeked was Bambam. Sadly, she seeked to no avail. The '97 liners must've not arrived yet.
However, her thoughts were vanquished upon seeing Mingyu joyfully approaching her. If Mingyu's here, then the others are probably already here, too.
There it hit her - Jungkook.
Her eyes peered here and there, hoping to find her boyfriend. And hopefully, not with Suji. Her anxiety and insecurity was eating her up alive. Lalisa Manoban, the royal maknae, was an insecure lady.
She barely even realised that she was already split up with the rest of BLACKPINK, and that Sehun, Hanbin, Bobby, Jackson and Mingyu were already there, trying to talk to her.
They jokingly addressed themselves as the I Love Lisa fanclub. She found that cute, but she was certain that Jungkook wouldn't like seeing her close to certain gentlemen in the circle.
"You look so beautiful," Jackson praised her. Lisa just thanked him, doing her signature Thai greeting.
"Well what's new? She always is," Sehun joked, ruffling Lisa's hair.
"Yah, you ruined her hair." Hanbin attempted to fix her hair, but Lisa quickly stepped back, shaking her head.
"I can do it myself," she insisted.
The guys were continuing on engaging a conversation with her as she fixed her hair. Hanbin however, couldn't help but sing 'My Type' to her.
The other gents start to tease her a bit, telling her that the song seemed like it was made for her. Not that they were wrong, anyway. Lisa, not feeling even a tad bit awkward, laughed it off.
Amidst Hanbin continuing to sing, something suddenly crossed her mind. "Where's Jungkook?" Lisa immediately asked.
"Looking for the boyfriend, ey?" Jackson teased.
Lisa just shrugged, laughing it off once again. Then again, not that they were wrong.
As by instinct, Lisa's head turned, exactly towards Jungkook's direction. Her heart dropped once she saw that he was already talking to Suji.
"Hey, gotta go to the loo," Lisa excused herself.
The I Love Lisa fanclub didn't interrupt her, and just let her. Well, a woman has to go the comfort room, ya know.
How long have they been talking? What could they possibly be discussing? Lisa's mind was boggled by thoughts, fearing that Jungkook would find it in his heart of how he started to love Suji in the first place.
Suji smirked, patting Jungkook's shoulder. "I just want to talk. That's all. If not with you, then would you like me to talk to Lisa?"
"Hands off."
The two were obviously caught off-guard by hearing that low, authoritative voice. They turned their heads just to find Lisa smiling at them.
"I'd love to talk to you, Suji-yah. But you see." Lisa looked around just to make sure that no one could hear them. "My boyfriend and I would like to enjoy this party together. You know what I mean? Maybe some other time?"
Jungkook nodded, quickly wrapping an arm around Lisa's petite waist and they both walked away.
"Nice save there, doll. Thanks--" Jungkook gulped upon seeing how dead-serious his girlfriend looked. This made him gulp.
Lisa quickly took Jungkook's hand off her waist and glared at him. "Follow me. We need to talk."

With the help of Jeon Junghyun, they found a place where they could talk, and where they were all alone. Now, Jungkook was leaning on the wall, his hands crossed as he watched how the female began to take her accessories off whilst staring at herself in the mirror.
She was utterly hot while doing so. Sadly, this was not the right time to let Jungkook's hormones prevail. He'd be dead meat if he tries to flirt with her at a time like this.
"Doll . . ." he mumbled, unsure if he should've even started.
"Why can't she just fucking leave us alone?" Lisa grumbled, slamming her hands onto the table.
Jungkook sighed, knowing what was exactly in her mind. He walked towards her, not wasting a second and quickly back-hugged her. He rested his head onto her shoulder, inhaling her scent. His favourite scent.
"I love you, okay?" Jungkook reassured her. "You. And only you. Why are you so afraid?"
"She was your first, Jungkook," Lisa told him, still staring at herself in the mirror. Tears began forming in her eyes. "What . . . what weapon do I have against her? She said she changed you. You surely have a lot of memories with her and here I am . . . enjoying the fruition of her efforts of who you are now."
Jungkook sighed once again, and Lisa couldn't help but firmly close her eyes upon feeling his warm breath against her neck.
"Doll, who said she changed me?" Jungkook asked, hugging her even tighter. Lisa opened her eyes, her eyebrows crashing together. "She was already out of the picture when I changed for the better. She wasn't the reason of that change, doll. Don't worry."
"T-then . . ." Lisa stuttered, once again feeling Jungkook's breath against her neck.
"Ever since I passed the audition at BigHit, and lived with my hyungs, that's when I began to change. My hyungs changed me, doll. Not Suji."
Lisa felt like a thorn was picked out from her heart. Still, what about their memories together? Surely Jungkook didn't make her his girlfriend for nothing.
"You know, you've also been a part of my drastic change . . . for the better. I've become a better person because of my hyungs, but I've become the best because of you." Jungkook chuckled. And slowly, their bodies started to sway, as if they were slow dancing. "My hyungs can't seem to figure out how I could stop from becoming a competitive jerk. Thanks to you, I've--"
"You're still a competitive jerk, you dumbo." Lisa rolled her eyes.
"Only for you, doll." Jungkook chuckled once again. "Only for you."
Silence lingered around them, and the only sound they could hear was the beating of their hearts as one.
"No limit in the sky that I won't fly for you . . ." Jungkook started to sing. "No amount of tears in my eyes that I won't cry for you . . . With every breath that I take I want you to share that air with me. There's no promise that I won't keep, I'll climb a mountain, there's none too steep . . ."
"When it comes to you . . ." Lisa began to sing along, and this made Jungkook smile.
"There's no crime. Let's take both of our souls, and intertwine. When it comes to you, don't be blind . . . Watch me speak from my heart when it comes to you, comes to you . . ." they sang together.
Jungkook grabbed Lisa's hand, twirling her, and made her face him. She smiled a bit, seeing how Jungkook was openly smiling at her.
"Cupid ain't a lie, arrow got your name on it . . ." Lisa wrapped her hands around Jungkook's neck as she continued to sing.
"Don't miss out on a love and regret yourself on it . . ." Jungkook sang, whilst wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Open up your mind, clear your head. Ain't gotta wake up to an empty bed . . ." Lisa sang as they slowly danced.
"Share my life, it's yours to keep. Now that I give to you all of me . . ." Jungkook sang, kissing Lisa's forehead.
"When it comes to you, there's no crime. Let's take both of our souls, and intertwine . . . When it comes to you, don't be blind. Watch me speak from my heart, when it comes to you, comes to you . . ." they sang together, with Lisa resting her head onto Jungkook's chest.
The two pulled away a bit, hearts synchronised, eyes meeting.
Jungkook leaned in. Soon, the two were caught into a passionate kiss. The male got carried away, drawing his lips over her milk white neck.
He was intoxicated with her - everything about her. Her scent, her lips, her eyes, her hips, her waist, her laugh, her smile, her everything.
His lips trailed butterfly kisses onto her neck, and Lisa couldn't help but hold onto his necktie, pulling it a bit. This made Jungkook turned on, slowly, biting onto her skin.
"J-Jungkook . . ." Lisa mumbled, a bit out of breath.
That's when Jungkook opened his eyes, quickly pulling away. He took a step back, horror evident in his eyes as he was right - Lisa was there, her lips trembling, with her arms hugged around herself.
He stroked his fingers through his locks in frustration, gulping. "P-Priya . . . I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I got carried away, I-I . . ." He feared that she would look at him like how she saw her uncle. That bastard of an uncle.
Of course Lisa already told Jungkook everything about her, she was transparent to the male. She didn't want to hide anything from him.
Consequences.
Actions always had consequences.
Jungkook was anxious, close to panicking, just in the middle of frustration. He never wanted Lisa to look at him with those eyes . . . cause her eyes never lie.
He avoided to look at her, ashamed of himself. He promised her that he would respect her, knowing all of her fears and traumas. . . he promised her--"Love?" Lisa called him.
Jungkook couldn't even look at her. "Priya, I'm so sorry. I love you, okay? I just . . . shit, I fucked up, didn't I?"
"Hey, Love?" Lisa called him once again.
This prompted him to look at her.
The moment he lifted his head up, was the moment that Lisa crashed her lips against his.
