In the quiet darkness of the plane Lisas mind was working overtime.

Leaving Jungkook had been the hardest decision Lisa had ever had to make in her short 22 years.

The guilt she felt the morning she left him was absolutely heart breaking and not one that she wished to experience again anytime soon.

She had purposely booked a seat at the farthest back of the plane, not wanting to interact with anyone choosing instead to stay hidden at the back, where there was less chance of being discovered.

The plane had been in the air for over an hour before she decided to relax. The tell-tale sign of tension obvious in her hunched shoulders, her muscles unclenching with much needed relief.

She felt thankful to everyone around her who had played a hand in making her a stronger version of the soft Lisa who had suddenly left Korea almost 7 weeks before.

Everything she had seen and experienced during that time all played a hand in preparing her for what would be the most anticipated return to Korea, where she knew people were waiting for answers.

Specifically, him.

On more than one occasion she casted her memory back to the night before she left.

The night she had spent in the arms of Jungkook as they made love in the quietness of his dorm .

She remembered how gentle he was knowing it wasnt just her first time, but his as well.

They spent hours exploring each others bodies, coming together as one as they discovered new ways of loving one another other than just holding hands or exchanging kisses.

Hours spent wrapped in each others arms, almost loosing themselves in soft moans of pleasure as Junkgook found one of her erogenous zones near her earlobe.

He had accidentally bitten down harder than he though and just as quick as he was to apologise, it was drowned out by Lisas gasp as she arched her back, her chest rising to meet him as her eyes closed, her teeth biting her lower lip as she moaned.

So he repeated the assault on her earlobe down to her neck and ultimately leaving purple reddish marks along her collarbone. Her moans were his driving force to bite harder, unconsciously marking her as his.

Lisa remembered how it drove him crazy when she took the reins for a while and straddled his abdomen as he laid down before her.

He held her hair away from her face as she leaned down to touch her lips to each of his eyes, down to the tip of his nose stopping at the corner of his mouth.

She felt the length of him between her legs and it took all her will power to strip them both down and make love, forgoing the foreplay.

But when she heard his breath hitch when she leant back onto his hardened length she knew he was hers to do with what she wanted, for that moment at least.

Leaning back further so sit fully onto him, his hands were almost holding her thighs in a vice grip, leaving finger marks and it did little but spur her on as she raked her nails down his chest, taking her time to trace his abs.

Lisaif you dont stop right now..

She could hear the restraint he was trying so desperately to hold onto in the way he had to strangle out every word and it filled her with bold confidence knowing that she could unravel him like that.

Ignoring everything he had to say, Lisa had leant over and replaced her exploring fingers with her lips starting at his chest working her mouth towards the throbbing pulse at his neck as she licked and nibbled her way up and around to his other earlobe.

I dont want to stop. Lisa whispered into his ear, before tracing and licking her way back down to his abs.

That was the furthest she was able to go before Jungkook took back control with a growl.

With a speed she didnt know he had, Lisa soon felt cool air between her legs as she realised, he had deftly shed the last remaining strips of their clothing leaving them waiting and wanting for the other.

And with unspoken words they joined together as one and spent the early hours of the morning wrapped in a world of soft moans, and whispers of love and rest before waking again to repeat their newfound addiction for each other.

But then she remembered waking to Jungkook calling IUs name.

It hurt her to her very core knowing that he was dreaming of another woman when they had just spent hours making love.

She knew she should have stayed and talked it out with Jungkook but at that time she was hurt, and her flight was already booked.

So, she took flight, and although it may have been the wrong thing to do at that time, she was glad that she did.

She was returning a stronger wiser version of the Lisa who had left, and she hoped it would remain so when she next saw him.

Closing her eyes, she prayed that everything will fall into place with little to no drama. Before sleep claimed her for the rest of the flight home, she saw round moon shaped eyes and a wide bunny smile.

Settling back into the dorm and her members took some time but she was pleased to be back amongst the girls and Lisa was looking forward to the next live performance that Blackpink had been invited to.

When she had returned two weeks before, the girls let her know how angry they were that she had left for almost two months without a word, but at the same time grateful for those who looked after her when she was abroad.

They were incredibly careful to not tell Lisa about Jungkooks subsequent breakdown after her disappearance nor did they tell her about BTS also performing at the same ceremony.

It was as though things were coming full circle and they knew there was no way of stopping them from crossing paths.

Lisa hadnt spoken about Jungkook when she returned, so they didnt push her, however now it was going to be damn near impossible to avoid that.

Lisa was out running errands and one was particularly important, so she would meet them at the venue.

She had little to no time to return to the dorm to change so Jisoo made good by packing a bag full of necessities for her.

Jungkook and his members had no idea Lisa had returned weeks before, nor did Bam.

No one knew she was home, back in Korea except Jisoo, Jennie and Rose and of course her boss.

All preparations and practises for the even was done in the privacy of their dorm. Lisa was going to make one helluva return to Kpop and she was going to make sure that no one was going to forget how she returned as a Lioness.

She was going to set the stage ablaze and sit back and enjoy it all.

__________________________________________

When Blackpink were called to the stage idols alike wondered how the trio were going to perform their chart topping hits without Lisa.

Everything was set, the stage was ready as Lisa was elevated from below the stage to take her place beside Jisoo and Jennie, all hidden in privacy under the instructions of YG who was standing near by operating the mechanics himself, wearing an obnoxious grin.

Jisoo could see Lisa slightly frazzled and pale.

Quicky she took her hand and squeezed it with a comforting smile and Lisa nodded before they got into position again.

"Lets go ladies....it's showtime."

__________________________________________

Fans were stomping and screaming, almost tearing down the stadium with their cheers and screaming as Blackpink delivered a perfect performance to more screams and cheering.

It wasnt just Blinks who were ecstatic at Lisas return, but Army were equally loud if not louder as Lisa sang, danced and rapped her way around the stage while wearing the biggest smile.

Lisa was oblivious to it all as she danced and smile her way trough their set. She had no idea she had missed being on stage as much as she did at that moment.

To hear the screams and shouts of their fans only it sounded like the music was being drowned out by all the cheering, and for that she was grateful.

She also knew that somewhere out there was a pair of eyes that was watching her every move and that soon enough there would be a reunion, of sorts.

There were people she would need to apologise to, like Yoongi, JB and her beloved friend Bam.

But for now, she will enjoy the moment.

________________________________________

Wanting to make a quick but quiet exit from the event, Lisa found herself cradled between arms of her fellow idols as they all greeted her with hugs and kisses.

Despite Jisoo chasing off dozens of idols welcoming her back, Lisa continued to reach back and hug them all after she unconsciously adjusted her hoody to her front.

She had missed them all and she wanted say sorry to each of them, with a promise to talk soon when she saw Yoongi swiftly walking towards her and grabbing onto her with a tight hold.

"Oppa, mianhae".. she cried.

"Lisa, I could kill you right now but Im glad you are back and safe. You look well Munchkin, you look really well. Like you're glowing? Are you ok? Are you going to eat or rest? You better go rest. Its been a while since you last did this huh?" Yoongi rambled, much to Lisas delight. She had missed her grumpy grandpa rapper.

"Im fine oppa. Is um..."

"Yeah, I imagine hes running around breaking down doors in search of you Lisa."

"I'm sorry I left like that oppa."

"Its ok Munchkin, its ok, I'm just glad you came back, but I think there is someone who needs to hear that more than anyone in this world."

"It's been hell these past couple of months Lisa."

"Kook, he didn't handle it well, at all." He said carefully.

"I know, and I am expecting...."her words cut short as she felt that familiar tingle in her heart, like a radar went off in search of its target.

And she looked around in search of what her heart was seeking.

There he stood, entering the room with a loud crash of the door. His chest heaving with difficulty and panting as he wilding turned his head around looking for something until his eyes trained on her, and her alone.

He looked wild, lost, relieved and hurt, each emotion running across his face as his eyes watered.

_________________________________________

Eyes brimming with unshed tears threatening to overflow from their imprisonment, Jungkook kept his eyes trained on Lisa as he mumbled with contained anticipation.

"Hyung I swear to god if you dont move, I wont hesitate to bust through you just to get to her." he growled out.

"So please, just let me go to her

JB was hesitant to move but the tone of the younger mans voice told him that he was serious about physically shoving him aside if need be.

The Jungkook standing before him was tense, unhinged and ready for battle. Ready to take down whatever stood in the way between him and Lisa, be it a wall, a mountain or a man.

"Please?" He begged.

Hearing the younger man's voice hitch was all it took for JB to quietly step aside and watch as Jungkook began to breathe heavily, his eyes were still focused on Lisa.

Jungkook, could only see her.

He would only ever see her.

It took everything he had in him to not run full speed towards her, take her into his arms and crush her body to his chest.

To take her and run away from it all, to be only with each other and not care about people's objections about them wanting to be together.

To not worry about peoples opinions and reasonings about why they shouldnt be together.

It shouldnt be this hard to be with the one you love.

To be just Jungkook and Lisa.

Two normal people who love each other, who want to be together like every other normal couple.

Only they werent normal. They were two people from two very well-known popular kpop groups dominating the charts and radio stations across the globe. So, they were far from normal, but at that moment Jungkook didnt care.

He saw Lisa looking straight at him with the same anticipation written in her eyes. He saw the way she was valiantly trying to hold herself together by chewing on her lower lip staining it dark red.

He saw the way her body shifted slightly, that she too wanted their reunion as much as he did, but she was still hesitant to move towards him and he didnt expect her to.

His breathing grew heavier and everyone seemed to disappear from his vision as he unclenched his balled fists wiping them hurriedly down the front of his jeans before taking a step forward.

Taking another step, he could feel himself beginning to unravel as he took a third and fourth step. His eyes could no longer contain the tears that were brimming down his lashes and cheeks.

He remembered all the pent-up emotions he felt when she left weeks before and the unbridled devastation shed left behind.

He thought about all the nights hed lain awake looking out to the sky from the loneliness of his bed hoping and praying that she was safe, and that by some small chance she too was looking up into the sky at the very same time.

He remembered all the times he had hurt her, the tears that she had shed because of him and look of despair when her heart had broken because of him.

His steps faltered as he remembered the promise he had made to himself that when Lisa eventually came home, she would see that he was not the same insecure and unsure Jungkook that she had left behind.

That he had worked hard to make himself worthy of her.

Worthy of her love.

And yet there he stood unable to move further as his feet began to feel like heavy blocks of cement.

He was no longer able to contain his emotions as he openly wept infront of her, asking for her forgiveness through his eyes.

When she hadnt moved, he didnt think he would have the strength to handle her rejection.

He could feel his heartbeat racing as each second Lisa didnt move was a nail to the end of their relationship, and Jungkook was at the point of giving up.

They were surrounded by idols, managers and staff yet he didnt care if they all witnessed her rejection.

Lisa could feel the vulnerability rolling off Jungkook in waves crashing into her chest hitting her heart with the force of the Titanic.

Moving as though she were floating, Lisa raised a hand to his face and gently wiped at his tears, hoping to steam the flow, only her small act made him weep harder as he stood still barely moving, his mind unable to register that Lisa had not rejected him.

When he eventually did, he leant his cheek into her palm as he raised a raised to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

He remembered she loved when he did that, and he stood corrected as Lisa too leaned into his palm.

Their eyes remaining locked onto one another, their tears mingling with each other when Jungkook leant down to rest his forehead on hers as her hands held onto his wrists as his hands cupped her face, anchoring the other to one another.

"Hi baby." he whispered next to her mouth.

"Hi baby." Lisa whispered next to his mouth.

"I missed you Junbkook, so much." That was all it took for all his pent up emotions to unravel.

"I love you." She whispered before Jungkook leant down swallowing her words.

He continued to swallow more I love yous as Lisa took his hand to place into the front pocket of her hoodie.

She remembered Marias words and smiled because next time she returned to Italy, it would be as a trio not a couple.

THE END.

I have loved all your comments most especially your feedback. I love that you have also loved reading it as much as I have loved writing it.

Please continue to read, and vote.

Please stay happy and healthy as we battle covid head on. There is a light at the end of every dark tunnel and 2021 covid vaccine is our light.
