Fake Dating... or is it real?

Lisa was incredibly busy that whole week. Despite not having classes yet, she wouldn't be able to start back on her dance major until next semester, though she did swing by the dance studio and ran into Jimin who surprisingly hugged her and told her he missed fighting over the room with the good speakers with her and that he missed the competition because everyone else was incompetent.

Lisa had giggled and they caught up and she even spent the evening rehearsing with him over his new routine. Lisa was spent but it felt good to finally, truly dance again.

She felt bad for yelling at Rosie that first night she had gotten back because she was entirely too sweet. Once Lisa had come back and calmed down enough she showed Lisa her surprise.

The room attached next to hers was converted into an office for Lisa to do her editing. Gong-Yoo had sent a state of the art computer with all the software she might need and Rosie had set it all up for her, even choosing the perfect desk for her and printing out a few of Lisa's favorite photographs and putting them on the wall.

Lisa almost cried when she saw it. She hugged Chaeyoung tight and told her thank you. Incredibly grateful that her best friend had gone out of her way to do all of that for her.

It didn't keep Lisa from looking for apartments that whole week though. She couldn't possibly stay here when she knew Jennie would just hate having her here.

Lisa was having no luck despite spending half of her day's searching for a decent place though. It was the middle of the semester in a busy city like Seoul and everything that wasn't super sketchy was already taken.

Chaeyoung caught her looking up apartments one of those times and the pouty sad look she got in response made Lisa's heart drop. Especially since her best friend didn't say anything about it, she just set the tea down she had made for her because she thought Lisa looked stressed.

"Rosie wait." Lisa said as Chaeyoung left a little teary eyed.

"I'm going to the studio to record some stuff Lis. I'll see you tonight." Chaeyoung said hastily, closing the door before Lisa saw her cry.

Lisa sighed, knowing she had hurt her feelings.

She couldn't stay though, how could she. It wasn't even the matter of her broken heart. It was also the fact Jennie had avoided her so much for an entire year, so much so that she didn't even bother to talk to her on the phone.

How could Lisa suddenly decide to live in the same house as her. Lisa felt like she was invading Jennie's space. She was here first and clearly she didn't want anything to do with Lisa and Lisa had way too much pride to force herself into her life like that. So she kept searching.

It was obvious Jennie didn't want her here. She hadn't seen her all week. Lisa knew Jennie was in the house, she could sometimes hear the soft music coming from a room next to Jennie's bedroom. Lisa figured that was probably Jennie's office. Her room and Lisa's room probably had the same layout with the office attached to it.

Lisa heard her come out once. She heard quick little pads on the floor going into the kitchen. Lisa had left her door open because she was waiting for Chaeyoung to come home so she could apologize and talk.

Jennie was probably making coffee.

Then Jennie's phone rang and she heard Jennie squeak and run back into her office, quickly closing the door. She never came back out.

Lisa had gone into the kitchen to get some water and she saw the coffee she had made still sitting there, left untouched.

They had all been too busy this last week to give Lisa a proper welcome back dinner. It had been planned for the day she got back but considering the whole moving in with your ex debacle had happened it had gone to waste. So both Jisoo and Chaeyoung had found themselves trying to convince their respective "sisters" to come out and actually have a family dinner for once.
