Just Blame Me

Lisa tossed off her heels when she got home, and then plopped down onto her bed.

Her heart was still pounding, her head filled with shining images of Jeon Jungkook.

His soft, dark hair. The way his lightly colored lips lifted up. And that teardrop mole that was ingrained into her mind.

Lisa gloomily covered her face with her hands. She'd only met him once, so why was she acting like such a fool? Really obsessed with appearances.

While she was reflecting on herself, the phone in her bag started ringing, playing that melodious and soothing violin song.

Lisa grabbed her bag and turned it out to find her phone. The name 'Rosie' was lit up on the screen.

"What is it?" she asked lazily as she answered the phone.

Rose seemed to be eating and some of her words were unclear as she asked, "How was your meeting with the director?"

Being reminded of that, Lisa let out a sigh. "I'm probably not getting the part."

"Why, did you offend the director again?"

"Of course not. It's CEO Park, one of the investors for the series."
From that short sentence, Rose could already fill in the blanks as if it were a modern melodrama series. "Oh, did this CEO Park try to proposition you, only to have his enthusiasm be met by your cold ass?"

Lisa, "..."

Did Rose have to be so vulgar with her words?

Before she could say anything, Rose started to lecture her again. "But really though, you're an adult. Who are you trying to act so fresh and pure for? And let's face it, your face and body don't really fit the innocent image. If he wanted to feel you up, let him. Just don't go all the way. Endure it a bit and it's over. That's how the industry works."

Lisa furrowed her delicate brows. Her voice was sickly when she responded, "I get what you're saying, but everyone has their own bottom line. You think that it's okay to be felt up a bit, but I'm not okay with it. And you didn't see what CEO Park looked like. If you were looking at him, you wouldn't be able to endure it."

"..." Rose was silent for a bit. Then, "Lisaah, those who are obsessed with looks don't have a future ahead of them."

Lisa pursed her lips. Then she sat up from her bed and asked excitedly, "Guess who else was at dinner."

"Who?"

"Jeon Jungkook!"

Rose raised her eyebrows. "The third Jeon prince? I've seen him before, really handsome. Did he feel you up too?"

"...Don't make others out to be so crass, won't you? CEO Jeon was a perfect gentleman. Not only did he help me out at dinner, he even sent me home."

"Home?!" Rose shouted out in shock. "He's not showering in your bathroom right now, is he? Go over and let me hear the water."

Lisa, "..."

There were a few days every month that she really wanted to break off their friendship.
