"Well don't you look quite happy," Chaeyoung commented as she walked inside the dance practice room with a tub of ice cream at hand. The blonde girl handed a spoon to Lisa.

"I'm always happy, Chaeng," she replied feigning innocence. "What's wrong about being happy?"

"You look weirdly happy for someone who just got assaulted," Jisoo interjected as she too took a spoon from the girl.

"It's been days already," she defended. "Shouldn't it be a good thing? Do you prefer I be all scared and afraid to go out?"

"You know that's not what Jisoo meant," Jennie said as she dug into the now opened tub of ice cream. "Something else must've happened. Did something happen after that night, Lis?"

Lisa—who just took a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, guiltily avoided her eonnies' gazes.

Yes, something happened alright.

After the events of Sehun barging in on her apartment drunk and her being forced to stay over at Jungkook's for her own safety, she and Jungkook came to an understanding that she shouldn't be alone until they're sure that Sehun wouldn't pull a stunt like that again.

They alternate staying in her apartment and his at night. Also, they've been sleeping in one bed—after sneaking a few make out sessions here and there.

She felt her cheeks heat up remembering how they almost—almost, got to third base.

Chaeyoung squinted her eyes before pointing her spoon at her. She immediately hid her cheeks from her best friend.

"Spill, Lalisa," the blonde girl looked so threatening with the spoon. "I know that look and you always have that look when you've just done it with someone."

"Done? As in... have sex?!" Jennie exclaimed—spoon still inside her mouth. "Lalisa! Did you just get back with that jerk Sehun?!"

"What? No!" Lisa immediately answered. Almost too immediately. "I mean, eonnie! He cheated on me and assaulted me! How could you even think I'd get back with someone like him?"

"Then why do you look like you've been hooking up—holy shit!" Jennie exclaimed before slapping the back of the nearest person to her.

"Ya! You made me spill my ice cream!" Jisoo snapped and threw daggers at the other girl.

"Are you hooking up with someone right now?!" The girl ignored the eldest's gaze and continue to question her. "How? When? Where? And more importantly, with whom?!"

"A hundred bucks it's her neighbor," Chaeyoung guessed which shocked her. Then the girl noticed her expression which made her slowly put the ice cream down and burst out. "I'm right?! Lisa, are you hooking up with... with him?!"

"Y-Ya! I'm not hooking up!" she exclaimed. "I uh... I just stay over to keep myself safe just in case Sehun might harass me again."

But Chaeyoung wasn't buying it.

"Neigh...bor..." Jennie was still processing what Chaeyoung just said earlier. Then she clapped and turned to her. "Jung Hoseok!? You mentioned that he's your neighbor. You're hooking up with Hoseok?!"

"What?! No!" she exclaimed. "He has a girlfriend!"

Jisoo—who was just minding her own business drinking her water, couldn't stop herself from bursting out laughing. Water spilled on Jennie's shoulder.

"Wha—eonnie! That's disgusting!" Jennie blurted our before turning back to face her. "Then who? Your only other neighbor is—fucking hell! You're hooking up with Jeon Jungkook?!"

"Fucking finally," Jisoo said chuckling while wiping her mouth. "I've been wondering how long it'll take before the two of you succumb to that massive sexual tension between you two."

"Eonnie!" Lisa was already beet red. "We did not hook up!"

Chaeyoung studied her face one again. Closely. Then she leaned back.

"You sure?" the blonde folded her arms. "I'm still sensing something fishy."

Lisa rolled her eyes. She just can't get away with anything from them, can she?

"I told you, I've just been spending time over at his apartment and him in mine to make sure that the Sehun thing won't happen again."

It was the truth. She just left some details she wasn't ready to confess to them. Like the occasional make-outs here and there.

It's not like she's ashamed or something. She's just not ready to tell anyone about Jungkook just yet. Also, she's not even sure there is something to tell them since they don't even know what they are.

Friends? Friends with benefits? Fuck buddies?

Well, not the fuck buddies 'coz they haven't even fucked yet.

Yet.

"I swear I'm not hooking up!" she insisted.

"Then why aren't you?" Chaeyoung said shocking her again for the 2nd time. "What? It's clear that he's into you and you're not bitching about him lately. You should at least use that to your advantage."

"Park Chaeyoung!"

"What?"

"I thought you said I shouldn't fall for him!"

"Well, that was before I knew that he's completely smitten by you," she said before shrugging. "Jaehyun said that Jungkook won't stop talking about you in their GC."

"He... he talks about me in their GC?"

"All the fucking time!" the girl answered while rolling her eyes. "I even saw him asking Bambam what movies you liked."

So that's why he asked her two nights ago if she'd like to watch some Disney movies with him. Of course they did but eventually ended up making out and falling asleep on the couch with her lying on top of him.

"That kid is so obvious," Jisoo said shaking her head. "That reminds me, I heard him pestering Jin to teach him how to make gamjatang. I should've known it was for you."

"Aww, that's so cute!" Jennie gushed. "What are you waiting for, Li? Just hop on that train already. He's just too cute to let him slide off your grasp like that."

Lisa rolled her eyes before shaking her head. If only they knew.

"Why are you all so interested about whether I'm doing it with someone or not?" she complained. "I mean, I just got out of a relationship. Come on."

"Don't give me that bullshit, Lisa," Chaeyoung spat. "That cheating scumbag don't count."

"Chaeng, he was good to me for years," she countered thinking about her past relationship. "I mean, I'm still furious about what he did to me but he was still a good boyfriend to me for the past years."

"Ugh, fine!" The blonde girl ate a spoonful of ice cream. "That lucky bastard didn't realize how lucky he was for dating you."

Lisa couldn't help herself and jump at her best friend. She hugged the shocked girl so tight thg the latter even squirmed.

"Lisa I can't breathe!"

"How did I get so lucky?" she said chuckling. "I mean, if Jaehyun wasn't my friend, I would've taken you away from him already."

"As if Jungkook would let that happen." Chaeyoung bitterly stated before digging her spoon on to the ice cream tub again. "Seriously. Just date already!"

Lisa chuckled while shaking her head.

After enjoying themselves from that big tub of ice cream Chaeyoung had brought in—which was from his very thoughtful boyfriend, they continued rehearsing for their upcoming comeback. The one that was put on hold 'til she fully recovered.

They had managed to convince their CEO that's she's doing better and that her ribs are finally okay so they're set to release their comeback next month so they have to focus on perfecting their dance before they start shooting for the MV.

"Joon's here," Jisoo exclaimed after reading the text message she got. The four of them were already done with the routine and currently resting. "I'll be heading out first."

"Mom's already here to pick me up too," Jennie said standing up. "I'll head out with you."

"You two okay here?" The eldest made sure before going out. "Jaehyun's picking you up, Chaeng?"

"Yup!" the girl exclaimed—clearly excited. Then turned towards Lisa. "Do you want us to give you a ride?"

"Nah, I think I might want to stay here for a while," she answered.

"Isn't six hours of dancing enough for you, Lalisa?" Jennie questioned. "You, of all people, should be resting now. I know you lied about your rib being perfectly fine."

"I didn't lie, eonnie!" The older girl raised an eyebrow making her pout. "Okay. Maybe I did exaggerate a bit by saying it's perfectly fine but, it doesn't hurt that much anymore. It's been months! And I'm just going to try out some routines for my future lilifilms."

"Didn't you already do that with Chesir?"

"Just let me dance in peace, eonnie!" She scowled. "What's a girl got to do just so she can have the dance studio all to herself?"

"Ungrateful kid. We were just looking out for you," Jisoo joked.

"I know. Now please, you can't keep making Joon oppa and Auntie wait."

The two eldest heaved a sigh and hugged the younger girls goodbye before finally heading out. Chaeyoung followed a few minutes later. Not forgetting to bombard her with endless reminders, of course.

Lisa faced the floor-length mirror and took a deep breath. The intro to Feel It by Jacquees echoed within the four corners of the room. She started to move to the beat.

Dancing gives her so much life.

•••

Jungkook felt like his chest was about to explode. Why? Because he had just found the courage to watch Lisa's Lilifilm dance videos and the guy—'97 liners, didn't give him enough warning.

A normal person would go through the dances in numerical order. But those traitors told him to hold off on Lilifilm number 3 'til I was ready. As if the Lilifilm number 5 didn't give him enough heart attack.

"Get you somebody to fall in love with... Get you somebody to kiss and hug with..."

Jungkook's mouth fell wide open and his hand automatically went towards his crotch area.

"I just want to go to the movies... I just wanna lay in your light..."

Her dancing was—as always, superior in all aspects. Her lines, her finishes, there was no doubt that she is indeed one of the best dancers in the industry.

"I just wanna make out in the summer...Picnics on the beach with red wine..."

He didn't know for how long her held his breath. He couldn't actually breathe. Is he even allowed to watch this?

Lisa... Lisa was just too...

"You know what I like..."

Jungkook almost spit out the banana milk he's been sipping.

Who the hell told Lisa that this was even legal?! Who the hell—

""With the top down, let me look in your eyes... I know every second of yours is all mine..."

The video continued to play and he felt his whole body heat up as Lisa dances fluidly to the song. Her legs were heavily accentuated as well as her curves. He couldn't even concentrate on the dance because his brain refused to function with every kick and turn.

"I know what to do with my love if it's right... I know what do to when you're lookin' that fine..."

And then her gaze. That one seductive he had the pleasure of seeing for the past days whenever...

He paused the video and threw it on the passenger's seat. He had to get a hold of himself. Both hands are on the stirring wheel while he try to make his breathing normal again.

It was really a wrong idea to watch that video while waiting for Lisa's practice to be over. He was currently at a car park by the back entrance of YG patiently waiting for the girl since he was just around the area.

But this wasn't working. With a heavy sigh, he grabbed his phone back and dialed a co-97 liner's number.

"Hello?" a guy's voice answered.

"Hyung! I need a favor."

•••

Lisa sat on the practice room's floor after she finished dancing. She's not quite satisfied with her performance but decided to take a quick break.

"I wonder what Jeon's doing," she said out of the blue and grabbed her phone next to her water bottle. "Maybe he'd like to eat some chicken with me."

"Sure, why not."

Lisa screamed and almost suffered a heart attack when she heard the guy's voice out of nowhere. She turned towards the door and there he saw the guy standing while leaning by the door frame.

"What the fuck, Jeon?" she blurted out. "Were you planning on giving me a heart attack or something? How did you even get in?!"

"Well, you did make me suffer one a while ago so consider us being even," he muttered as he walked inside the practice room. "Also, I have connections. That's how I got in."

"What?"

He shook his head sideways. "Nothing. Are you not done yet?"

"Almost," she replied before standing up again. Jungkook helped her. "Just finishing up with a Lilifilm routine. I'm thinking of uploading one before our comeback teasers are uploaded."

"Oh, I see—wait. Did you just say Lilifilm?"

Lisa turned to the guy who had this weird constipated reaction on his face. Her forehead creased.

"Yeah. Why? Is there something wrong with my Lilifilms?"

"There is."

"What?"

"It's too..."

"Too... what?"

Jungkook couldn't even say it without his ears turning red. The images of her in that tight cropped top, tight black shorts and knee high boots flashes inside his mind.

"Too what, Jeon?"

Lisa propped her hand on her waist and raised an eyebrow at him. She was waiting for his answer and he can't even push that one particular moment in her video where she kicked so high up and thrusted her hip after.

"It's uh... um..."

"Um?"

At times like this, it would be better to show it rather than say it, right?

Jungkook pulled Lisa towards him and wrapped his arm around her waist before dipping in to kiss her.

Of course, Lisa immediately responded and kissed him back—wrapping her arms around his nape while on her tippy toes. And yup, him being pressed up close to her body gave her the answer he's been trying to say.

"I see you've watched Lilifilm #3," she said after that kiss.

"Yes," he said mumbling while his face was buried on the crook of her neck. "I didn't get to finish it 'coz it was too... too..."

"Aww, don't be embarrassed." She chuckled. "Was it too hot? Too sexy?"

"Too... stimulating," he muttered softly causing her to burst out laughing. "Youtube should ban it."

"Ya Jeon Jungkook!"

Jungkook felt even more embarrassed and buried his face deeper. His face was now burning up and he felt so guilty for thinking those kind of thoughts about her.

"I'm sorry," he said pouting. "I can't help it! You kept doing things with your legs and then your butt. Plus you did that hip thrust—"

Lisa on the other hand could not stop herself from laughing. She knew that Jungkook was adorable but not this much.

"Ya! Stop laughing!"

"Well, who told you to watch it?"

"The guys..."

"Did they force you to?"

"Um... no..."

"Then why did you?"

"Because..."

"Because?"

"Because they said I'm not a true fan if I haven't seen your videos."

"So... You're my fan?"

"Of course!" That came out a little to enthusiastic so Jungkook averted his gaze, cleared his throat and repeated. "Of course. Of course... I'm a fan. I'm a blink!"

Lisa chuckled.

"Aww, Kook. I'm a fan too!"

"You are?"

She nodded. Jungkook's smile was so bright and wide, she felt like the place just grew brighter.

"Yup! I'm an army."

"Then... then who's your bias?"

"Hmm..."

Lisa felt like messing with Jungkook a bit so she gave him a meaningful smile before breaking free from his grasp. She went to her stuff and fixed it before grabbing her water bottle and heading straight to the door.

Jungkook's gaze followed Lisa's every move. Waiting for her answer.

"What?" Lisa asked as Jungkook remained glued to his position. "Don't you want to go home?"

"Ya. Who's your bias?"

"Depends," Lisa'a lips formed an evil smirk. "Will you buy me chicken tonight?"

Jungkook frowned.

"But I bought chicken last time."

"Then Yoongi oppa's my bias."

Lisa stuck her tongue out at him before running off. Jungkook scowled before running after her.

"Liar! You're not a fan of hyung! I'm your bias! Me! Jungkook!"
