My Journey To Love

"Woo~"

I immediately slumped on the floor as soon as the music ended. My body felt so hot and I was sweating so excessively after the intense dance break that we just did.

"That's all for today, everyone! Thank you for your cooperation!" The president, Ten oppa, clapped as he praised all of us with a smile.

Then, he went near me and placed a water bottle in front of me. "You've done so well, Lisa-yah."

"Thank you, oppa." I said and took the bottle to chug it in. Despite the exhaustion that I am feeling, I felt happy to be able to dance like this again after a long time.

"I'll be heading first now. Just have Bambam to accompany you, alright?" I nodded at him and watched as he headed out of the practice room.

I sighed before forcing myself to stand up. Alright, maybe I danced a little too energetically because right now, I don't think I am capable of walking on my own.

"Hold it right there, missy." I heard Bambam chuckling beside me to which I rolled my eyes at.

"Ha ha, funny, really," I said in utter annoyance.

"Who told you to be so hyper earlier? You look so happy today," he teased that made me smile.

Speaking of which, ever since that day, my relationship with Jungkook had gotten closer. I can feel that he's starting to be close to me and I felt like floating on a cloud nine because of it.

Like, who wouldn't?! Your long-time crush is starting to warm up on you!

"Nothing."

"Ooh~ What's with that cheeky smile, huh? Spill it, woman." He playfully nudged me and I groaned at him.

"You're such a gossip guy!" I spat but the guy only laughed at me.

Soon after, we sat by the floor with our back leaning on the floor-to-ceiling mirror inside our practice room. I told him about the happenings between me and Jungkook and how he started to recognize me telling him that 'I am the happiest person alive' and 'Oh, I think he likes me too now'.

Bambam kept giving me this disgusted look and kept telling me that I'm being delusional but whatever. I don't care!

"Oh come on! Just because he's starting to warm up on you doesn't mean he likes you now!" Bambam reprimanded that made me pout adorably. He groaned at that. "Oh please, stop giving me that look. It won't work on me."

I blinked at him several times. "I really really like him. Can't you just support my love life, Bammie?"

"Seriously? You call that love life?" he scoffed at me. "What if it's just infatuation that you felt for him? That you're really not in love with him? You told me yourself that you have a crush on him."

I sighed. "But I really think I love him now. If not, why would I pursue him so actively?" I tried to reason out. I don't even know why I'm trying to get his opinion on this or why am I explaining this to him. I just felt like I needed to.

"Love, tsk. Love my ass!"

I heard him mumbling incoherently and so I asked with a confused look, "What?"

He sighed before shaking his head. "Lisa, you have to think of this clearly. Love isn't simple. I just don't want you to get hurt the way I did before."

"Huh? Bammie, can you speak louder? You keep on whispering, I can't hear it, you know?" I glared at him feeling irritated. Why does he keep on mumbling?
