Lisa smiled as she entered the orphanage. The orphanage building looked old. But she had many memories here which she always treasured.

"Lily unnie.." As she walked inside, the children came running to her.

"Hey babies." She knelt down and opened her bag, taking out a big chocolate box, "It's for you." She handed it to the kids.

Their little innocent eyes sparkled with happiness seeing the delicious chocolates, "Thank you, unnie." They thanked her and went to eat the chocolates their favourite unnie bought.

"Chocolates? Again?" A male voice asked from behind while Lisa was busy admiring the kids.

"The kids will get diabetes at this age because of you, Lisa." Jimin teased and stood beside her.

Park Jimin was Lisa's best friend. They became friends a year ago. He was the one who helped her to get a job in the boutique. He always stood beside her and supported her. Lisa was thankful to him for everything he have done for her.

"Oh you were here?" Lisa asked turning her head at him.

"Yeah. Where else would I be?" He asked, smiling. This orphanage belongs to Jimin. He was doing this as a work of charity.

"Yeah, I forgot." Lisa said hitting her head with her hand.

"You are growing old, Ms.Manoban." Jimin teased.

"Yahh, you woke up every morning just to tease me?" Lisa asked stomping her foot on the floor.

Jimin nodded and smiled cheekily.

"Don't do that smile. It will only work on Park Chaeyoung, not me." She said.

Park Chaeyoung, Lisa's childhood friend aka Jimin's crush. He came to know her through Lisa. Since that day she had been running in his mind.

Jimin's smile grew wider listening to her. "Are you going home? I will drop you." He offered.

"You are offering to drop me because you can see Chaeyoung, right?" Lisa teased him. Lisa and Chaeyoung lives together along with Lisa's mother. By dropping Lisa at her house, Jimin could possible have a conversation with Chaeyoung or at least a smile from her was enough for him.

Jimin smiled back hearing Lisa's teasings.

"You are head over heels for her, dude.." Lisa chuckled, "I'm not blocking you from meeting her. Come, drop me." She walked towards the exit while Jimin followed her, dreaming to meet his girl.

"Lisa, are you coming to the club today?" Jimin asked while they both were seated in his car.

"Today? What's the occassion?" She asked buckling the seat belts.

"It's Eunwoo's birthday. He's throwing a party. Didn't he invited you?"

"Ohh yes. I almost forgot about it." Lisa said leaning back on the seat.

"Aren't you coming?" He again asked, focusing on the road.

"I'm not interested in the party. Moreover that Eunwoo is creepy. He looks at me like he wants me in his bed." Lisa said totally annoyed.

"Come on, Lisa. He's a nice guy. And if he creates some problem for you, I will beat him into pulp. Okay?" He asked.

"Fine." She sighed.

.

As soon as Lisa entered the club along with Chaeyoung, Eunwoo came to greet them

"Hey Lisa and Chaeyoung. Come inside." He welcomed the inside.

"You look so hot, Lisa." He commented looking her from head to toe. She felt uncomfortable and looked down not wanting to slap him on his birthday.

"Happy birthday, Eunwoo." Chaeyoung quickly wished and dragged Lisa from there.

Chaeyoung dragged her to the bar, "Don't mind his words, Lisa. Let's enjoy the night." Lisa nodded.

"Two vodka, please." Chaeyoung ordered the bartender.

"Hey, guys.." Jimin walked towards not of them.

"Hey chim.." Lisa replied.

"Hi, Jimin." Chaeyoung shyly replied.

"You look so beautiful, Chae." Jimin complimented her.

"Thanks, Jimin." She blushed under his flirty gaze.

"Please guys. Atleast not in front of me." Lisa said bored of their lovey dovey moments.

"Why you have to ruin every romantic moments, Lis?" Jimin asked and smacked her head lightly.

"It's better than you hitting on my best friend." She said sipping her drink. Chaeyoung laughed seeing both of them bickering.

"Don't mind her, Chae. Would you like to dance?" Jimin asked extending his hand towards her. She gladly accepted it and he led her to the dance floor.

"Have fun, guys." Lisa shouted at them.

Lisa was at the bar and she was drunk. The smell of alcohol and sweat reeked into her nose, causing her head ache. She felt like vomiting. Covering her mouth, she ran outside to get some fresh air.

"Why is it hurting so much?" Lisa closed he eyes tightly and massaged her forehead. She just want to go back home. She looked for her phone to call and inform Chaeyoung that she was heading back home. That's when she remembered she forgot her purse along with her phone in the club.

"Huhh.." Lisa sighed. She doesn't want to go back to the club. It increased her need to puke.

She doesn't have any other option and finally decided to go back and grab her purse. She was about to turn around but a pair of strong arms circled around her waist and a cotton pad covered her nose and mouth. She didn't get the time to sturggle and she fainted there.

"Finally. I got you back, baby..."
