Jungkook took the hoodie off Lisa's head and leaned in forward to breathe her scent. Her hair smells sweet, like a mix of fruits.

"What shampoo are you using?"

Lisa laughed and turned her face slightly to look at him. "That's so random! Does it smell bad?" She took a strand to whiff on it.

"Kinda...you smell like hotdogs," He teased, earning a slap on his chest as he laughs. "No, it doesn't. It smells nice. I just wanna get it when I go back so when I miss you I could just open the shampoo bottle and smell it,"

Lisa rolled her eyes and face back to her front. "That's...kinda weird,"

"Can I not be weird? It's just with you..." He tightened his arms around her small waist and rests his chin on her shoulder. They're sitting at the beach in front of their hotel, enjoying the night's breeze. Lisa leans back to his front, making him feel the happiest and relaxed he'd ever felt in a long time. "Lisa,"

"Hmm?"

"Do you mind if I call you 'baby'?" She giggled at his question. "Is it funny? Yahh I'm serious," Jungkook pouts.

"I know you are. It's funny cus you only asked now - you've been calling me that since we got here. It's cute," She raised one palm to land on his cheek and patted it.

"You sounded as if you've heard this many times before...yahh who else have called you 'baby'?!" He lets loose of her to emphasize his sulk. Lisa, however, didn't seem to mind it and continued laughing.

"Let's see...sometimes my dad...I think Hanbin and Mino sunbae have called me that once or twice –"

"They what?! Why would they call you that?" His jealousy spiked up, letting go of her immediately. "Fine, I don't wanna call you that then," He looked away, frustrated that Lisa kept laughing when she turned and face him.

"You can't seriously be jealous of my dad,"

"I'm not," Jungkook pouts. God, how beautiful can she be? It's really hard to be upset, especially under these dimmed lights. Damn the nights! Lisa stopped laughing and surprised him by climbing on his lap, resting her long legs at his sides and arms circling his neck. Jungkook stares at her wide-eyed.

"You can call me whatever you want and you'll still be the first to do so. I don't have the kind of experience as you did," She whispered.

"And what experience is that?" Jungkook breathed, hypnotised by the way Lisa's face softens and her small smile as her gaze fell on his mouth. Seriously, can we just stay like this forever? The things I wanna do with you...

"You know..." She tilts her head and looks down shyly. "I'm not sure if you know this...but I never had anyone to compare you to,"

He can feel her thumb grazing the skin on his neck, making him feel things he knows he shouldn't for this innocent girl. She should stop doing that...but I don't want her to. His heart beats so loud for her. He can hear every drum of it. And that one part of his body is starting to ache. "So do I,"

She lets out a small laugh. "I witnessed your break-up, Jungkook sunbaenim,"

Jungkook laughed in embarrassment. "Still...doesn't compare," He searched for her eyes, trying to convince her somehow. He can feel the warm breath she lets out. This is too close! Fuck - too close, Kook!

"Pshh..." She smirked after a while, before moving off to sit beside him instead. Oh, thank God! Jungkook cleared his throat and adjusted his pants a bit. He was just contemplating on picking her up and bring her back to his room!

...

"Unnie, do you think I look okay?" Lisa came in front of Jisoo, blocking her member's view from the television.

"Yes! This is the best!" Jisoo said loud enough to show her annoyance at the younger.

"You only say that to get rid of me,"

"You think? This is the fourth outfit you've shown me. Why are you so worried anyways? You've put on those baggy pants and oversized shirts around him all the time, he hasn't left you yet right?"

"Yeah, but I wanna look good tonight...you know...for his birthday later," Lisa pouts. She didn't expect it to be this hard. She never had to think this much about impressing someone else by her own means - and she really wanna impress him! The thought of not being good enough still lingers around in her mind. Her inner, conscious self had been debating loudly for the past couple of days.

Jisoo sighed at the clueless girl, suddenly feeling bad about taking it lightly. "Yah Lali, you looked pretty in all four outfits. But you shouldn't worry so much, as long as you're happy with your choice. I can tell you this, based on my observations on you two. His feelings or opinion on you wouldn't change the slightest, regardless of what you wear. He's too into you already,"

"I don't know about that," Lisa looks down with a sad smile. "But thanks unnie. I'll just wear this. You sure you'll be okay here by yourself?"

"Yes, go! Have fun! Don't forget your way back!"Jisoo teased as Lisa laughed.

...

"Shit, aghhh!" He stumbled and fell on the floor next to the piano, pressing his toe tightly to numb the pain. That's what you get for constantly daydreaming about her that way, you pervert!

He hissed at his own thoughts, as if there's a staring contest between him and his subconscious. Not that he can argue much anyways, he accepts that this is just a little payback from the universe. Maybe it's telling him to back off and calm himself before he ruins everything.

The thing is, he was never that type of guy. You know, the type that can't seem to control their 'urge' or 'needs'. Of course he had slept with women before, but it's not all he thinks about. But for some reason, since the first day they started spending time together here in LA, that's all he could think about! By the second day, he almost regretted coming here in the first place and almost – almost decided to come up with an excuse to go back to Korea!

Lisa scares him. Not in a bad way – or maybe it is, depending on the context! The truth is, he's finding it hard to stay 'good' around her. His hand itched to touch her everywhere and it's killing him to hold back and constantly having to control his actions. What's worse is that Lisa doesn't even know it! He'd been keeping a fair amount of distance to not scare her off. From what Bambam had said, he knows that Lisa is inexperienced in both relationship and - hopefully - he's guessing the intimacy that comes along with it as well, but she's making it so hard for him! It wasn't even her fault!

He likes her too much and whenever their skin touched, he felt more drawn to her for some reason. It's like he couldn't control it. Even when she's wearing oversized clothes, his dirty mind went wild wondering how the curves of her body looks and felt like underneath. And how can he forget the day they went swimming at the pool – jeez! Lisa in a black swimsuit was a breathtaking sight! He had to constantly joke around and splash water at her to keep the distance.

Although there was that one time when he couldn't control himself as she fought back and ended up being in his arms...her small, delicate body pressed against his, her doll face and plumpy lips just inches away from him...God, it took all my might to let her go so I won't ruin her!

Which is why it surprised the hell out of him when she mentioned that they hadn't kissed. There he was, trying so hard to stay away – scared that she might think it's too soon or worse, that he's pushing her to do something she's uncomfortable with! This is the first time they get to spend a good and consecutive amount of time to be close to each other, he needed to make a good impression on her. Damn, he never wanted to impress any girl this much! But Lisa kept surprising him at every turn – now he's having second thoughts about having dinner here at his room instead of the restaurant he booked before.

It was a hasty move, made purely on the uncontrollable desire he felt when Lisa tip-toed to give him a goodnight kiss last night. Obviously Jungkook had been over the moon about it the whole night. This morning he decided to cancel the booking he had made earlier at the posh restaurant, and to have his birthday dinner set-up in his room instead – thinking how wonderful it will be to spend it just with her without having to worry about their surroundings.

At noon they had lunch and ice-cream for dessert. When she noticed her ice-cream was melting on the other side of the cone, she caught it with her thumb and put it in her mouth, sucking in. First warning. He couldn't take his eyes away from her mouth for a good fifteen minutes – or more, but who's counting!

Then they went for a bike ride. There's a cliff that she found out from Instagram that's nearby the hotel. So they rented two bikes and started following the trail that the hotel staff directed them to. Lisa had been wearing the same shorts and crop top since morning but for some reason, Lisa in the same shorts and crop top tied to a ribbon at her back on a bicycle looked...well...different. Riding on his own bike behind her gave him a very clear view of her ant-waist and all the curvy lines below them. Thankfully, it was only around 25 minutes of a ride to get to the cliff. Jungkook's hips and well, other parts were starting to ache from the 'journey'.

They parked their bikes when they reached the base, locking it safely. The cliff wasn't a really high one and it was only a ten minutes, slightly-rocky climb up. When they reached the top, there were 2 girls there. Lisa brightened up when one of the girls told her that they're going to jump. The prospect of one or both of them getting hurt had Jungkook a bit worried at first, especially for Lisa. But after seeing the other two jumped and successfully emerged from the water – laughing and cheering, he agreed.

Only God knows how hard and fast his heartbeat was, with the adrenaline rushing in the moment Lisa held his hand, both teasing each other on when to go for it – running and stopping right at the edge of the cliff. When they finally made the flashing 20-feet jump, Jungkook remembered looking by his side at the girl - who's screaming in her wide smile with her eyes closed – and a thought came into his mind. The things I wanna do in this world with you...

The water had his feet first, then him entirely. He lost her hand when they dived in, and he struggled to swim back up for air. When he surfaced, he found a grinning Lisa swimming up to him and closed her arms around his neck before kissing and hugging him tightly. He hated air so much at that point, being the barrier between them! The kiss was short as both were struggling to catch their breaths, but it was a meaningful one for him. Lisa had trusted him enough to take the leap with him. It was more than he could ever hoped for!

Both ended up lying on the beach for a while, panting as they catched their breaths. He kept replaying the jump in his mind, still thinking how surreal it felt. Of course being the active guy that he is, he's always up for any extreme activities out there. But he never could've assumed or imagined that Lisa would go for something like that. Then he recalled watching one of the episodes in Blackpink Diaries where the girls went jet-skiing in Thailand. She looked so comfortable on it and taking the lead.

The first thing he noticed when he turned to her was the ups and downs of her chest, as she tried to ease her breathing. The second thing was the baby blue bikini underneath her wet, white shirt. His heartbeat quickened at the sight. He cussed at himself internally, feeling like a stupid teenager who can't control his damned raging hormones! There was no way he was going to let people see her like that, so he sat up and took off his grey shirt – squeezing it half dry before handing it over to her.

Lisa looked at him questioningly but decided to just take and put it on. It was way too big for her but she didn't seemed to mind. He wasn't going to let her win if she wanted to argue anyway! What he didn't expect after however, was for her to eye on his bare chest, down to his abs, and poked a finger on it – with her tounge sticking out. Jeez Lisa! Can you let me breathe for just a second?!

Now here he is, cursing endlessly to himself for having dirty thoughts on his naïve girlfriend and thinking that spending the time in his room with no one else except the sexy woman would be a good idea. Does she know the kind of effect she has on him? The doorbell rang and he quickly got on his feet.

Okay, Kook! You can do this. You can control yourself. She's not that type of girl. Make a good impression!
