Chaeyoung's Pov
-

We, being myself, Lisa, Jennie and Jisoo, has decided to take our lunch at the mall not to far from our building. The canteen at work wasn't doing is any favours as we all had cravings for Korean Bbq.

Settled at the booth, we caught up with one another socially, away from our office building.

"So you and Jimin, huh." Lisa wiggles her eyebrows at me, amusing Jisoo and Jennie as we tuck into our food, "he not so much of a prick now?"

"Yeah, I mean nothing is official but-"

"Yall are fucking non-stop." Jennie interrupts, earning chuckles from the latter.

"You two can't keep your eyes off each other. It's like you're fucking through eye contact." Jisoo says, before tucking into her fried chicken. I laugh nervously, covering my now rosy cheeks.

"Right! During the last board meeting, they were literally flirting through my whole presentation!" Jennie snapped, pouting slightly.

"I'm sorry Jen! He started it and just I can't help it, and I'm sorry and I love you." I batter my eyelids and she scoffs at my apology.

"Yeah well, don't let it happen again!"

"Yah, enough about me, Lalisa, what's happening with that head of security huh?" Jisoo and Jennie exchange looks of slight confusion.

"Who? Oh, Jungkook, yeah well, that's no more." She shrugs it off but I can tell she's quite hurt and I feel a pang of guilt.

"Shit Lisa, what happened?"

"Oh you know, I just got tired of being nothing but a cheap fuck to him. I deserve more than that." She smiles but I could see the glint of discontent in her eyes. "But it's funny, now I don't want him, he wants me. It's like as soon as you lose interest, they're all up in your face."

Her phone buzzes and she rolls her eyes. Our assumptions are that there's a certain bunny on the other line.

"Well... why don't we go try on some clothes, post a few pics and show him exactly what he's missing."

Finishing our meals we split the check and head out the restaurant to the retail shops. Lisa's expression changed to one of glee as she linked arms with Jennie and they skipped towards their favourite stores.

Holding up a blood red satin dress and a black off-the-shoulder number, Jennie encouraged Lisa to buy both.

Popping in and out of shops the number of bags on our hands grew and grew. Although I became more broke with each purchase, it didn't seem to matter with all the new additions to my wardrobe, including somethings for the bedroom.

I glance down at the beeping device in my clutch.

Chimchim is calling...

"Anneong Chimy" I sooth into the phone.

"Yah, Park Chaeyoung, your break has lasted well over an hour."

I throw an uneasy look as I stare at the time on my watch, and the girls recognise how much we had over exerted our break.

"Ah... Jimin-ah, I was buying lingerie to wear for you."

"...Y-you, you...for me?"

The girls giggle as I try to shush them.

"Mmhmmm to wear for you later. It's a whole matching set. Garter an everything."
