Lisa sipped on the shake Jimin treated her with, delightful she didn't have to pay for it. She looks at her friend sitting in front of her, who was staring right at her, too.

"What?"

Jimin shrugs, "What what?"

"You've been staring at me for the past 5 minutes we've been staying here."

Lisa suddenly felt conscious, wiping whatever stuff was stuck beside her lips or on her face. "Is there something bothering you?"

"No, there's nothing wrong staring at you, is there?"

Lisa suddenly looks away, remembering the lie he told her. so she slumped her back against the seat with her arms folded against her chest. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

She lifted a brow, that turned into furrowed ones when she couldn't believe it. "That you're jung jimin, not park jimin."

The boy gulped, suddenly it all fell silent. Should i tell her? He shook his head, "It's nothing to worry about."

"You still lied to me."

"Lisa, it's something too personal to talk about, okay?" Jimin sighed in defeat, raising his head up to look at the ceiling, trying to avoid the situation. "I promise I'll tell you at the right time."

Lisa figured it was somewhat a family problem, something she's been experiencing since she was a little kid. "Okay."

•°•°•

After finishing their shakes, Jimin took his car keys to the key hole and slipped in, with lisa looking through his window.

"Thanks for the treat."

Jimin softly laughs. "Anytime." he buckles his seatbelt in. "Want me to drive you over?"

Lisa shakes her head. "It's like a walking distance, Jimin. It'll only take about 10 minutes."

Jimin suddenly opens the passenger seat and smirks. "Sounds plenty to me."

Lisa produced a smile he could never forget; she hurried to the seat beside him, then closed the door. "You must be so rich to afford this kind, huh?"

"I'm no spoiled brat, but yeah." Jimin started the engine, slowly pacing over to the dormitories.

"Jimin, I want you to know that you can tell me anything - anything at all. I can be trusted, and I hope you do know," Jimin glances at her as she finished her sentence. "Whatever problem you're encountering, you can do it. your friends, Taehyung and I will be here." Lisa looks at jimin once she was about to get off the car.

Jimin stabled his car in place; both staring into each other's eyes. His looked below her face, down to her lips. He wanted to kiss her so bad.

Both knew they wanted to.

As if there were a mysterious force pulling the two to do so, they did as they were told. Slowly closing their sight as they could almost feel the electricity running throughout their body.

However, instead of feeling Lisa's lips on his, he felt nothing; just the retained empty space between the two of them. Once he opened his eyes, he saw lisa looking away, her eyes wavering.

"What's wrong?" he immediately asked her.

"Hey, bud!" oh, that's why. Jimin mentally slapped himself for even initiating the move. Taehyung was at his window, his arm hanging by the roof of his car. Tae looked inside and saw lisa, casually nodding his head as a greeting as Lisa did the same.

"Uh, I'm gonna go now. Thanks, Jimin." the blonde carefully opened then closed the door, rushing into her room at the dorm.

Just looking at the empty passenger seat made him feel empty inside already. He sighed in defeat, looking Tae's way.

"Did I ruin your special moment or something?"

Jimin shook his head, "Nothing was ruined; nothing happened." he gestured his friend to climb in, to which tae declined.

"I just really came by to say hi. I need to go to my part-time now. See ya around." Tae did his secret handshake with jimin before walking away from the vehicle. "Oh, and by the way, be careful of lisa."

"What's that supposed to mean?" jimin gives taehyung a questioning look at the unexpected remark.

"Lisa's a scholar."

"Again, I know that."

"If lisa fails, she loses the right to study in this school, alright?"

•°•°•

jimin's p.o.v.

we almost kissed last night. Tae just had to barge in and ruin the moment. What is it with him about Lisa being a scholar and everything? I knew that. he's already mentioned it twice already. More importantly, why is he concerned more about her?

Does he like her?

nah. Knowing taehyung, he's just probably concerned of others. Maybe specifically on the girls I'm going to date after my break-up with Clara.

"Jimin, it's time for dinner!" Mom called.

I took off my earphones and went straight downstairs, sitting in place of the dining table.

"jimin, my boy, your audition was excellent." dad had to immediately bring the subject up. i was going to do the first move. again, someone ruined the moment.

all eyes were now on me.

"you had an audition?" mom raised the question as the topic.

"w-ell, yeah.. i forgot to tell you."

"how could you not tell me?" mom was a bit sensitive when it comes to us in her family in opening up. she likes having family meetings to keep herself updated with our lives. even though it can sometimes be annoying.

"okay, a mistake. i had to practice all the time, mom. give me a break."

i saw dad pat mom's hand, mouthing something that somehow calmed her down. "i'm calm, i'm calm." mom chanted to herself. "promise me you'll tell me next time, okay?"

i nodded.

"now," she looks over to me, interlacing her fingers to form a bridge for her chin to rest on. "how was the audition? did it feel good? Are you confident you're gonna pass?"

i nonchalantly shrugged. how could i possibly know, even? the judges didn't even blink. they didn't say anything. at all.

"they'll just text me when the results are out."

suddenly, kate cut in after chewing her fill with her face suddenly lit up. "sooo, mom. there's this rapper i've been listening to."

mom was already eager to hear more from her so i let her take the spotlight; I never wanted to be in it, anyway.

"and is he helping you study?"

she nods enthusiastically at the thought. "of course! his songs are inspirational. in fact, even though some are unrelatable-his voice is what i always yearn for." she faked fainting, swooning in the process. "if he were to have a concert, i am so there!"

"probably 101% impossible. he's just an underground rapper." i commented, making her and mom look my way.

"you know agust d?" kate interrogated with her squinted eyes and furrowed brows.

"thanks to your squeals that keep me up at night."
