[ FLASHBACK ]

"I love you."
It was maybe the sparkle in his eyes or how he dragged his words in pure honesty or maybe how he smiled after he saw her blush in beet red.

Lisa doesn't even know which gestures he made to make it more magical, but she felt like fleeting in the clouds especially when he move closer to wrapped his arms around her small frame.

Locking her with warm embrace that made her heart backflips for a countless times.

They were only 14 when they met each other, all thanks to their mutual friend Roseanne. The bubbly small eyed girl was even jumping excitedly when she let her two best friends meet.

It was a formal introduction, and a very awkward bubble tea time for the both of them, as they exchanged shy glances to each other the whole time.

Evening came and Lisa received a notification to her social account and that's where she knew Jungkook asked Roseanne for her social medias.

It started with 'Hi's and Hello's' till it became 'let's hangout' and yes they did hangout, where the secret meet ups started.

Oddly they share the same hobby and likes, so it wasn't hard for them to be good friends. Both were the versions of each other in different genders.

But they were trainees at two big companies so they were forced to see each other in secrecy and up unto this day, now that they are sixteen. There's an abandoned looking building just right at the back of YG Entertainment where they need to walked across a dark alley before reaching there. Strange but it wasn't that dangerous than what it looks like, it's just empty.

People don't go there because maybe it's still YG's property. They said it was the old YG building before it become one of the biggest entertainment company in South Korea. Jungkook and Lisa was stood on the rooftop of the old building. Their sight is the city lights of Seoul. It was peaceful and raw, they see cars speeding, ant-size like people walking on the busy street, and the nightly view of Seoul. They were apparently on the middle of the real world and their own world.

For the past minutes his gaze never left on her face, it felt like he was memorizing every details and shapes. As he spoke slowly, "I love you, Lisa." Repeating the same words, smiling adoringly at her as he swayed their bodies dancing to the inexistent music.

Lisa wrapped her arms around his neck tiptoeing to reach his tall height.

"I love you i love you i love you i love y—" He wasn't able to finish the words when she captured his lips, as they shared their very first kiss. It was innocent, soft, and pure. She thought it was the perfect timing to lose her first kiss to the first guy who made her believe in love. Lisa felt him smile before trying to deepened the kiss but both are starters and the only knowledge they have is what they see on TV's and maybe also their instinct.

Lisa rested her forehead after she broke the kiss to breathe. With her eyes still closed, she caressed his cheeks with her thumb.
"I love you too, Kookie." She muttered with a heavy breath, and when she opened her eyes she saw the wonderful sight of him admiring her with that pretty smile. That smile that speaks thousands of love songs.

"Damn, I would trade anything for you, Lisa Manoban."
He hugged her tight and Lisa can only laughed at his reaction, he is so cute like the bunny he is.

"Oh yeah?"
She teased and hugged him back.

"For sure." She heard him whisper as he kissed the top of her head. They stayed with their position for minutes, afraid of letting each other go.

Hearts were synchronized in beating and both were in bliss at the moment.

But the ugly truth just starts here.

Lisa didn't have the slightest idea that he already muttered his first lie that time. Because apparently, she wasn't worth the risk for him.

Both were unaware of what the future holds, so when the hardest trial cometh, he was fast to lay down his sword and let go of her.

Her mind was clouded with the idea of 'forever' that she failed to foreseen it coming. She failed to see that he holds the biggest dream but he was also the most coward of all.
