Chapter 4

Lisa was greeted by Chaeyoung the moment she stepped outside at 6am the next morning. She did everything she could to not turn bright red on the spot. They hadn't actually seen each other since their little peep show.

"No sleeping in today?"

Chaeyoung shrugged. "I figured if I'm ever gonna have abs like yours, I should probably start exercising more."

Lisa blushed. "I can tell you right now, your stomach is perfect."

Not wanting to see Chaeyoung's reaction, Lisa took off running knowing the blonde wouldn't be too far behind.

The pace they set was fairly decent. Chaeyoung had even come close to pulling ahead of Lisa a few times, but the brunette simply sped up, not allowing the other girl to overtake her. That would just be embarrassing.

When Chaeyoung made her fifth attempt to pull ahead, Lisa couldn't figure out why she was so stubborn about it, but slowed her pace in order to boost the other girl's confidence. Once Chaeyoung was a few feet in front of her, Lisa's pace almost slowed to a crawl. She suddenly realized why Chaeyoung was so adamant about running in front of her. For some reason, the blonde thought it would be a good idea to wear the tightest, most form-fitting booty shorts known to man. And Lisa had to give her credit. It WAS a good idea. An idea she enjoyed very much. They made her ass look perfect and left Lisa wishing she had brought a bottle of water with her. After a few moments of leering, she pursed her lips and shook her head as she started running again. She finally caught up to Chaeyoung, but still allowed the other girl to carry the lead. After all, the blonde was trying so hard to run at a faster pace. Who was she to deny her that bit of encouragement. If she just so happened to glance down and watch her ass moving up and down with each stride, then that was just the cross Lisa would have to bear.

Lisa was really starting to enjoy the morning runs more and more. She used to just use her iPod and tune out the world around her with music. But since Chaeyoung started joining her, all she really needed was the sound of their feet on the pavement and Chaeyoung's adorable panting.

She tried to push out the thought of Chaeyoung panting while squirming underneath her. After what happened the other day, it was all she could think about. But now was not the time. It was going to be difficult enough getting through this run while staring at Chaeyoung's luscious ass the whole time.

"Did you have fun with your friends yesterday?" Lisa was the first to break the silence about halfway through their run.

Chaeyoung slowed a bit and started jogging next to her.

"Yeah. It was nice seeing them again."

"How are they doing?"

"They're good. Busy."

"Have you known them long?"

Chaeyoung nodded. "We've been friends since grade school. Then Hyeri and I went away to different colleges. Jennie stayed local. So every time we're all back in town, we try to spend as much time together as we can. And it's like no time has passed."

"That's the sign of true friendship."

"Yeah." Chaeyoung was silent for a moment, as if she were trying to muster up the courage to say something. "You should come over and hang out with us sometime."

Lisa tried to hide her smile. "Maybe."

"I should warn you, they're a little much. They're loud and abrasive and unmerciful in their teasing."

"Would they really have anything to tease me about?"

Chaeyoung fell silent. Lisa didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
