Painted Memories

The Old Guitarist

Lisa gently let her car door close after they pulled up onto her driveway. Chaeyoung was in awe of the painted exterior and the neatly mowed lawn. The landscaping looked extremely expensive as the branches and leaves were shaped dynamically. In total, the house was exquisite.

"Chaeyoung come on in! Make yourself comfortable."

"Lisa! Your house is beautiful. It's exactly how you dreamed it when we were in high school!"

"Yeah, I'm grateful for it." she smiled while opening the big red door in front of her house."

Chaeyoung was very proud of her friend because of the amount of hard work she placed in to all of her dreams. Chaeyoung was there with her through all of her ups and downs. And it was vice versa.

As soon as she took a step in, she was hit with the strong scent of vanilla and cinnamon which complimented the cozy furniture in the living room. 

Lisa ran to her couch dropped her expensive bag and jumped to lay down on the couch. 

"Ah! I'm so tired. Chaeyoung-ah! Join me." 

Chaeyoung chuckled and did join her by kicking off her shoes at the door and also laying down on the couch.

"Lisa! You are living the life."

"Chaeyoung, you should come to some of my fashion shows while you are here."

"I will. Don't worry. I have a break for two days until I have to start work."

"Lisa, are you home?" a deep husky voice called from upstairs.

Lisa's eyes widened and motioned for her to go into a room. Chaeyoung was confused and whispered, "Why?". 

"Just do it!"

She decided to listen to her and moved into the room that her friend pointed to.

Practically jogging in, she heard somebody coming down the stairs and she gently closed the door but not completely. Looking through the crack, she saw Jungkook's figure which was dressed in a black dress shirt and sweatpants.

Jungkook's smile lit up the room as he saw Lisa sprawled out on the couch.

He went to her side and picked her up and placed her on the floor as Lisa's face was pouted.

He chucked and then kissed Lisa with his hands on her waist. Chaeyoung felt bad to watch so she turned her head around and touched her cheeks with her hands.

After, their little makeout session, Chaeyoung heard him ask, "I thought you went to pick her up?"

"Yeah, her flight got delayed," she said as her hands were still around his neck.

"Lisa, you know I didn't really mean anything I said to her. I just, I don't know why I said that. I know she's your friend and I'm sorry I said that to her." he said as his head lay low.

Chaeyoung heard this and her hatred towards him melted almost instantly. She could hear the genuine concern in his voice so she was sure he was telling the truth.

She chose to come out of her hiding spot and cleared her throat to alert them.

Jungkook's eyes widened and quickly let go of Lisa. Immediately bowing down he said, "Noona, it's very n-nice to m-meet you. I'm sorry for the-"

Chaeyoung giggled, "I heard your conversation with Lisa. I forgive you. Don't worry. You probably were having a bad day. Also, I'm the same age as you don't call me Noona!"

Chaeyoung told him to get up and gave him a hug. He stiffened but then returned it.

Lisa smiled and said, "Ok! Now that we all are on the same page because of me, "she aggressively flipped her hair over he shoulder, "Let's go see the sights and get dinner!"
