《Tender in the Night | A Lizkook AU》4.
Advertisement
On a normal Sunday morning, Lisa would feel fresh at the prospect of spending it with her members. They'd cook or eat out together, go shopping, or even laying still in front of the television – binge-watching dramas. But not today. No, today's different. Jisoo had gone back to her family's hometown yesterday. Jennie will be out the whole day with her friends, and Chaeyoung has a photo shoot for a magazine spread.
But it's not the fact that she's left alone that's bothering her, sucking out the cheerful energy she normally has for this one-day-break every week. It's the text message that she received last night during dinner, which had kept her awake until 3am in the morning, and even jumped into her dreams after!
'Hi Lalisa, this is Jeon Jungkook. I need to talk to you. Let me know when you're free, I'll call.'
Lisa screens over the text message again and again. Why does he need to talk to her? What is there to talk about? How did he even know her number? She already texted Bambam to ask if he's the one who gave it, but he hasn't replied yet.
Her anxiety grew the longer she left it at 'Seen'. It would be rude to not reply at all, but she's nervous. She couldn't think of anything to relate back on what he possibly need to talk to her about. She's sure that it's about 'that night', because that's the only time they ever had any interactions.
She hadn't thought about the entire embarrassing encounter with Jeon Jungkook at the stairs for the past weeks since it happened. But the face and his pained expression did cross her mind from time to time - especially when she bumped into him at the last 2 events - and she often wondered and hoped that he's feeling better.

She hadn't told anyone about it as well, including her members. As far as everyone's concern, no one knew about what happened except for Jeon Jungkook and her. Or did someone saw them? Lisa's heartbeat picks up. Oh no, is that why he's trying to reach out to her?
She immediately types a reply.
'Hello, sunbaenim. May I ask what is it about?'
She paces around the room anxiously. What if someone saw them and reported it? But it's been over three weeks, and she hadn't heard anything from anyone. Maybe she's just overthinking it. But then, why else would Jungkook wanted to talk to her?
Her phone rings, and she took a deep breath before answering to the unknown number.
"Lisa?"
"Yes, hi. Is this –"
"Jungkook,"
"Ah yes, sunbaenim. Is there anything –"
"Can we meet?"
...
Being in a confined space with Jungkook feels weird. What made it even more uncomfortable is the silence that surrounds them, ever since she got in the fully tinted car. She wasn't sure what she was thinking, agreeing to this meet. And she's not sure where they're going either.
The way Jungkook sounded on the phone earlier was so serious, it scared her. So she didn't have much time to think things through properly when she agreed. She just hopes no one from the agency finds out about this. Her manager will be mad to know that she's out with a male idol.
Not just any male idol, this is Jeon Jungkook! Scratch that, he'll probably go nuts! Lisa felt terrible as she realized the problems that might result from this. She had been so careful, ever since her trainee days. She had never gone out or hung out with guys without any supervision. Well, except with Bambam.

She knows how much trouble she'd be in and she can't afford to risk having her dreams taken away because of scandals. So while the others - including her members - went out on dates and tried to lead their separate, personal lives, she'd keep herself away from it. It's a luxury she can't afford, being the only foreigner in the agency.
"Are you okay? You look cold," Jungkook's voice interrupted her thoughts and the bare silence.
She nods slowly, afraid to look at him. "Um, may I know where we're going, sunbaenim? I just need to tell my unnies so they don't worry,"
"Seonyudo Park," Jungkook answered casually. It's very confusing for Lisa as he didn't seem to be bothered much. In fact, he looked so calm and relaxed - different than how she remembered him from that night. Even his voice is softer. "And can we drop the honorifics? Just call me Jungkook,"
"That would be rude, sunbae –"
"It'll be rude for me if you keep calling me that. You're older than me,"
"Ahh I'm sorry...but still sunbae, you're my senior,"
"Are you always this hard-headed?" He smirked at her, cocking his head to the side. Lisa blushed and looks down to her knotted fingers. It's not true, but being asked like that by a very attractive guy, who's basically the nation's golden boy is...embarrassing.
"Fine...Jungkook," Okay, Lili, stop fan-girling him and focus on the real issue! "Why are we going to Seonyudo Park?"
"Just because," He shrugged. What does it mean? "It's the nearest and it's quiet around this time. I go there sometimes, it has a nice view. You'll like it. I know a spot, hardly anyone goes there – so you don't have to worry,"
Jungkook peeked at her and gave an assuring smile.
"Okay...but why do we need to go there?"
"To get to know each other better,"

*'I-I am sorry your highness I touched ...!' She was trying to apologize, but she fell silent as she could not utter with her mouth that she accidentally touched his lips.'But I am not sorry!' He said calmly looking straight at her. What was she supposed to say after hearing his words?'I did not mean to touch your highness's ...' she said with great difficulty.'That was not a touch.' He said not permitting her to brush it off as an accident, even though it clearly was.'It was a kiss.' He said with a hoarse determined voice.She widened her eyes, as her face flushed even more than it did when she realized what she had done. He dared to say the word she avoided.'That was not! I...' she tried to refute. 'What is a kiss Celia?' She could not answer. How could she say the definition of a kiss with her own mouth, it would only confirm his words.*'It was an accident. I am truly sorry, I did not mean any discourtesy towards your highness. If I can make up for my error somehow?' She quickly said. She did not know of his personal life, as he had a tight security around him and nobody knew much of the king outside official visits and business. He must have felt insulted.'Please don't call it an accident. For a first kiss of a person to be called an accident ...' He said again with a dejected tone, but did not continue. It was like he had already gotten his point across.'Ahhh. I am so sorry! It really was an ...' She wanted to say accident but, because of his pleading she could not actually say it. To have committed the blame of taking the king's first kiss and then not acknowledging it, how would he think of her?At this point she did not even realize that their roles had reversed, or that it was her first kiss also.PS: If you like loyal mates... then please proceed further :D
