When Lisa woke up in the morning, her head pounded with a dull, throbbing ache. Sprawled across her bed, she recalled bits and pieces of what happened the previous night. She seemed to remember spilling her guts after drinking a little too much. Her memory was fuzzy but she had a vague impression of crying in Jungkook arms....

....good grief.

She wished that someone would come to wipe her memory immediately.

With a frown on her face, she picked up her phone and clicked into WeChat to distract herself.

Today's WeChat was quite remarkable.

Jeon Jungkook: "Insomnia"

Jeong Jaehyun: "Insomnia"

Choi Yeonjun: "Insomnia"

Lisa: ..... excuse me? Did the three of them gather together to play Landlord the whole of last night?

Out of the three of them, only Yeonjun attached a photo to his status. The photo was of an artistic-looking flower bouquet wrapped in hold newspaper. Lisa wrote a comment to Yeonjun: "What's wrong?"

Yeonjun did not reply her; he probably had training. When noon came, he gave her a call.

"Hey Yeonjun, are you feeling down?" Lisa asked right after picking up the phone.

Yeonjun did not beat around the bush. He asked frankly, "Lisa, are you together with Jeon Jungkook?"

Lisa was startled, "What? Don't talk nonsense!"

"But last night, I saw the two of you...."

Right away, Lisa could guess what he saw. It wasn't only Yeonjun, even she herself felt that what happened was a little incredulous. Thus, she explained, "I drank a little too much last night, so, eh....I don't remember what I did".

"Oh" Over the phone, Yeonjun heaved a sigh of relief. His tightly wound nerves finally relaxed. There was a hint of a smile in his reply. "You can find me the next time you want to drink".

"Huh? No way, I don't want to be a bad influence on a minor"

Minor_ it was that word again....This word was not Yeonjun's most hated word.

Yeonjun asked, "Let's have lunch together?"

"Sure".

Right after Lisa hung up, Jungkook's call came in.

"Fool"

"Dog"

The two of them endearingly exchanged insults before starting their conversation. Lisa asked, "Jungkook, heard that you had insomnia yesterday. Did you have a nightmare?"

"Uh huh, I dreamt of you"

"Get lost...."

Jungkook burst into laughter. His low and amused chuckle was like a soft brush that gently tickled her ear. He said, "Let's grab lunch together. I have something to tell you".

"What is it that you can't tell me now?"

"A piece of good news"

Lisa did not believe that Jungkook could have any good news for her. However, curiosity made her agree to meet for lunch. Thus, when lunch came, the three of them were once again sitting together. Both Jungkook and Yeonjun did not expect each other to be there.

From when they first met, they did not exchange a single word. However, they did exchange stares every now and then. As a bystander, Lisa could intensely feel how their gazes were charged. The air seemed to crackle and sparks flew every time their eyes met.
