"Don't touch me when we're out in public."
"Don't openly say that I am your wife." "Don't let people know that you and I live together."

Jennie's personality had always been outgoing. After talking with new people for no longer than three minutes, she could already be getting along well with them. And so, her arrival, not only did it not kill the mood, it actually lifted it. All that could be heard in the entire party room were, "Jennie, which university did you graduate from?", "Jennie, how did you meet Taehyung?", and "Jennie, why don't you sing us a song?"
Lisa sat quietly next to Jungkook. She was used to these kind of scenes. After she found out her parents had passed away, she couldn't go back and had to live at her uncle's house, so she gradually lost the same confidence and cheerfulness that Jennie had in her bones. In most cases, whenever Jennie and she went out, Jennie would always easily get along with others. Yet, she would always sit quietly to one side, and smile as she watched her.
The sounds of drinking, chatting, singing, and laughing were all over the lively party room. Yet, all this commotion seemed to have no affect on Jungkook beside her. He maintained a calm posture where he sat on the sofa, staring at his phone.
Next to him, Lisa would sneak a peek at him every now and then. When she unintentionally caught sight of his phone screen, she learned that he was looking through Big Hit Entertainment's reports.
Even in a noisy place like this, he still managed to work! Lisa couldn't help but quietly let out a sigh. From the bottom of her heart, she silently thought, 'If he had to work, what was the point in coming here?'

Lisa sat in the party room for quite some time, and grew a little bored. She stepped out to go to the restroom. Coincidentally, coming out from the cubicle, she bumped right into Jennie.
"Lisa." Jennie reached out and patted Lisa on the head.
Lisa rubbed the part where she was touched. She fixed her bangs up, then quickly grabbed Jennie, who was about to enter the cubicle, "Nini, what's actually going on? How come you're with Taehyung?"
"We bumped into each other at a charity event the week before last. We exchanged numbers, got talking, and we felt like we both got along quite well, so we started dating," Jennie said in a light-hearted tone.
"But a while ago, didn't you say that you liked Jungkook..." Lisa genuinely cared about Jennie, but she also wanted to know how she actually felt about Jungkook.
When Jennie heard the word, "Jungkook", she thought back to the image of her being rejected by him not so long ago. Immediately, she pursed her lips and interrupted Lisa. "He said he has someone he likes, and that person isn't me. If the love from one is unrequited by the other, why should I waste any more time on him?"
When Jennie said that, she paused for a moment, then asked, "Lisa, do you know who Jungkook likes?"
Lisa shook her head.
"Forget it." Jennie smiled with an attitude as though she didn't want to talk about it. She then said candidly, "They're all waiting to go back to playing games. Let's talk about it if we have some time later."
