Eyes Closed (Chaelisa)

Chapter 14

Rosé POV

Lisa was still laughing because of Jennie-unnie's outburst at the list we gave them.

"Lisa, let's focus we need to win this." I tell her sternly. Her face changes immediately into what I call her game face and leans closer towards me.

"Let's do this. Open the envelope." She says.

Taking a deep breath, I nervously opened the envelope. We both looked at the list at the same time.

<start of list>
1. Go to a jimjilbang and scrub each others backs.
2. Go buy 1 sikhye and ask for two straws. Maknaes must drink the sikhye at the same time while making eye contact with each other.
3. Leave a Chaelisa love lock at the Namsan Tower
4. Visit the Coex Aquarium. Both of you must kiss each others cheeks without other people noticing.
5. Enjoy a romantic dinner in Hongdae area.
6. Walk back to the dorms with hands intertwined

P.S. it was either hold hands or be handcuffed to each other. We didn't have handcuffs so just bear with holding hands okay? We unnies love you. Enjoy your date!

<end of list>

I sat there dumbfounded at the list. It seemed like the list was made for couples. Gosh, this will be too embarrassing.

Lisa and I going to the jimjilbang alone? I mean I've seen her naked before but this is gonna be awkward when it's just the two of us and I even have to scrub her back! I silently prayed a little for my innocence. Realizing I was inlove with Lisa made me more aware of her. Her touches, hugs, and everything. And this activity of seeng her naked made this challenge all the more difficult for me.

I look up and see a frozen Lisa. She literally looked like she had frozen up. I couldn't help but laugh loudly seeing her scared.

"Lisa-yah we can do this. We can't give up now." my words must have woken her up from her stupor.

"You are right. We can do this!" she says loudly.

"Manager oppa, let's go to the jimjilbang please." she says almost in a whisper with her head bowed down.

<travel>

Arriving at the jimjilbang, Lisa and I were scared of entering but we both looked at each other and steeled our resolve.

"Aja fighting!" we raised our fists in unison.

Walking hand in hand we finally entered the jimjilbang. We got our keys and placed our stuff in the lockers and proceeded to the shower area.

My heart was thumping out of my chest because in a few minutes we would have to remove our towels to take a shower. I'll be seeing Lisa n-n-naked. The thought of her naked made my cheeks flush red. Noticing my face all red, Lisa held my hand.

"Rosie, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just shy I guess. Our unnies aren't here with us so I'm more conscious right now." she accepts my response as I take a huge sigh of relief. I was internally giving myself a standing ovation wondering how I even came up with a believable excuse that quick.

After a few minutes we finally finished showering and headed towards the bath area. There was only the two of us at the showers earlier so we just showered facing each other backs so we ended up not seeing each other.

When we arrive at the bath area, surprisingly there were still no people around. It was just me and Lisa again.

Lord, why are you doing this to me? Are you magically helping set me and Lisa up?

Rosie, you can do this. You're the older one here. You have to be the role model here, so Lisa won't be shy anymore.

I swallowed down all my fears (aka saliva) and walked towards the bath. I removed my towel and set it near the foot of the baths and finally sat at the other end of the wall opposite from where Lisa was standing. Lisa was still at the same spot and was looking at me. I took a deep breathe and say teasingly "Well, what are you waiting for? Hop in Lisa, don't be shy. Just drop the curtains."

Her cheeks flushed red but she still followed. She slowly removed her towel and placed it beside where I put mine. As she was walking towards me I could feel myself swallowing my fears again (aka my drool). Lisa sat beside me shyly.

"See Lisa, that wasn't so bad right? Come on let's take a picture so we can get out of here." I noticed Lisa wasn't responding so I looked beside me to see Lisa looking at the wall.

"Ya Lisa! You weren't listening!" I said pinching her cheeks.

"I was too!"

"Then why aren't you responding? And why are you looking at the wall, I'm talking to you so why aren't you facing me."

She mumbled something in response and I couldn't quite hear it.

"I didn't understand what you just said. Can you say it a bit louder?"

"It's cause I'm too shy." Her voice became so much louder that there was an echo which made both of us laugh. All the nervousness leaving our bodies.

We took a picture as proof. Of course we made sure that all our private parts were not seen.

"Come on, we only need to scrub each other's backs and we're done here. We'll go get a snack while drinking sikhye after this." I say excitedly thinking about the food we'll be eating.

I stood up but ended up slipping.
"Oww, my butt hurts."

"Rosie are you okay?" Lisa stood up and walked towards me. She held my hands and was trying to pull me up. With Lisa's help I tried standing up again only to slip again bringing Lisa along with me.

My cheeks flush red realizing I felt two hands on my chest.

"Lisa."

"Rosie, I'm sorry are you okay?" Lisa looked up her face now just inches away from mine, I could feel her breath as she spoke causing a shiver all over my body.

"I'm fine, but can you umh maybe get up please? You're touching my boobs." I say embarrassed.

She looked down and seeing that her hands were indeed touching my boobs, I swear her eyes bulged widely it seemed like they would jump out of her eyes. Lisa panicked and she tried to get up, she removed her hands from my chest so that she could push herself up but as she removed them I felt a slight squeeze on my chest a moan escaped from my mouth.

For the first time in my life, I cursed in my head. Oh god why did I have to moan. Kill me now.

She stood up and still helped me up. We couldn't look each other in the eye after what happened. We wrapped the towels against our bodies and held hands heading out the bath area. We somehow finished the task of scrubbing each other backs awkwardly and successfully took a photo as well.

We're now dressed up in jimjilbang attire and have bought a bunch of snacks together with the big sikhye.

We chose a spot with the least amount of people. Lisa placed the two straws in the sikhye.

"Are you ready?" she asks.

"Of course this task is easy. After this let's go to Namsan Tower and have lunch." I smile in response.
