JENNIE'S POV
I was wearing my dress when the doorbell rang. I'm still barefoot when I walked out of my room to see who it was. Without bothering to look at the intercom to see who the visitor was, I opened the door.
"Hi, baby." Lisa greeted me with a smile, but she looks kinda bothered.
She's wearing a black see through long sleeves tucked inside her jeans. Her shoulder length ash brown hair is kinda messy like she just comb it using her fingers but nevertheless it only made her look more gorgeous and hot.
'She looked delicious enough to be my dessert.' says the flirty part of my brain.
"Hi." I greeted back. "Come in. Please take a seat." And before I could drool more over Lisa I invited her in. I gestured towards one of the couch on my living room. "Would you like a drink?"
"No, thanks." Lisa said before sitting down.
"I thought were just going to meet downstairs?" I ask.
"I figured that you still need more time preparing like what you've said awhile ago, I gave you a short notice."
"Oh, okay. I'm almost done. Would you mind if I make you wait for a couple of minutes more?"
"No, not at all. Take your time, babe."
"Thanks. Excuse me." I headed back to my room.
"Nice place, by the way." I hears her say.
"Thanks."
"And, Baby."
"Yes?"
"Next time, please look through the intercom first before opening the door, okay? You have to be careful. Bad guys are lurking everywhere nowadays."
Her voice was filled with concern tha it warmed my heart. I nodded and went inside my room.

LISA'S POV
It was as if I came back from being a high schooler again, feeling nervous and excited at the same time knowing that I'm going out with Jennie. It was like going out on a date for the first time. I really felt nervous. Asking her out was like the hardest task I ever did, I think. Honestly speaking I felt scared that when she learns that I'm the one on the other line she'll hang up. For days, I've been planning all the steps that I should do so I could make it into her life again. You wouldn't believe what I have to go through just to get her number. I even ask for my sister's help to get it and asking for my sister's help did not come cheap. My dongsaeng withdrew a million won from my credit card.
And when I finally got her number, I gathered lots of strength and courage to call her. The amount of sins I committed against her is no joke. And remembering the conflict we had two weeks ago at the club, I doubt if she still wants to see me. After gaining the courage I needed, I finally called her. It took three missed calls before she answered the phone. The moment I talked to her I felt happy but it vanished instantly cause she sounds normal.. like we didn't had a conflict, no trace of anger in her voice. Like nothing happened. She was back to being the playful and unfeeling Jennie that I saw at the club. I felt a little sad, but it only gave me more drive to bring back the old Jennie. When she said that she likes Seungyoon, I felt jealous. It was an ugly feeling and it was directed towards my friend. Was I too late?
Thankfully, she made things clear that Seungyoon is just a friend to her. I was suddenly relieved. I was being possessive, yes I know, but what can I do?
I already knew that no other girls suited me better than Jennie. All I needed to do is to make Jennie realize that I am the one for her. That all the hurtful things I did to her before, I am ready to make her forget all that and make new things worth remembering.
When I asked her out and she agreed, I felt excited. So excited that I even went up to her unit to fetch her contrary to what we had agreed on.
The moment she opened the door for me, I felt those kinds of feelings again, heart fluttering, butterfly in my stomach and lovestruck. She looked so beautiful eventhough her hair and make up isn't done yet, she was already beautiful even before. But I can't help but feel worried when she just opened the door without checking who her visitor was. I suddenly felt so protective of her that I had to remind her that she had to look through the intercom first before opening the door.
Her bedroom door creaked open and I tilted my head to the side. I stood up. I can't blink while looking at her, holding my breath. She is so beautiful with her light make up on, her wavy hair hung loosely on her back and wearing a strapped red and white plaid summer dress which almost reached her knees matched with her red sandals.
"You're beautiful." I complimented.
I saw her blush which made me smile. How I missed the sight of it.
"Thanks." she smiled shyly. "You don't look so bad yourself."
"Oh, my, not so bad?" I said jokingly despite the loud beating of my heart.
She laughed which made her look more beautiful. "It was a softer way to say that I could endure a few minutes with you."
"I look that bad, huh?"
She laughs again. "Of course not, you know that's not true. You're gorgeous, Lisa, and you always knew that."
"Of course, Baby, I knew it. There's really no use stating the obvious." I brag.
"Omo. Omo. How modest!"
"So shall we, Baby?" I offered my arm to her.
She wrapped her hand on my arm. "Let's go."
