i don't wanna be okay without you

—February 2016

Lisa was buying some of her necessities from a nearby convenience store. Just then, her phone began to vibrate, indicating that someone was calling her. As she was paying for her items, she checked her phone, seeing that it from the '97 liner group chat.

She chuckled, relieved that they were all still active. Usually, a group chat would die down in a week. However, they all never stopped talking to each other. Lisa entered the call, surprised that they all had their cameras on. She immediately swooned her phone flat on her stomach, worried that someone might see.

The moment she exited the convenience store, she wore her earphones and began talking to them. "Yo, what's up?" she asks.

"Turn your camera on!" Bambam told her.

Lisa chuckled. "I'm outside."

"Oh, Jungkook is too," Mingyu says. "See? At least Lisa can answer our calls."

Lisa looked around, seeing that there were a lot of people so she securely held her phone. "Oh? Where is he?" Lisa asks them, continuing the conversation.

"Gym I think," Dogyeom replies. "They're preparing for a comeback. So yes, this isn't the time to sulk over him."

"Hey are you referring to me?" Mingyu mumbles.

"I mean, if the shoe fits," Dogyeom teases.

"I'm hanging out, close to the dorm so I need to prepare and stuff." She hangs out, not giving them a chance to bid their goodbyes since they know they're gonna tease her.

Oddly enough, because she and Jungkook were talking more often privately, they'd often get teased by the others. In reality, they were purely platonic. She just admires how hardworking and determined he is.

Once Lisa arrived back in her dorm, she was welcomed by her co-trainees, Jisoo, Jennie, and Chaeyoung. "I'm back!" Lisa announces, taking her shoes off at the doorstep before entering the house.

She saw that Jennie was trying to whip up a new snack for them while Chaeyoung patiently waited near the dining area. Jisoo on the other hand, was trying to fix their lightbulb.

Their place wasn't the best — it was a bit cramped and they couldn't really call it a home. However, YG did promise them that a few months before their debut, he'll let them move into a new dorm which is much more comfortable.

They were set to debut in August, so, they were also scheduled to move out on May.

"Did you buy me my shampoo Lisa?" Jisoo asks as she finally finished fixing the lightbulb.

Lisa brought the necessities she bought for the members as well. "Yup! Pay me!"

Chaeyoung chuckled, making her way towards Lisa to help her organise the items. As they were arranging the stuff, Lisa's phone beeped, indicating that she received a message.

She checked her phone, seeing that it was from Jungkook.
