LISA's POV

A lot of things had been going on tonight, Jennie and I have reconciled and we're friends again, she and Chaeng danced to Don't Cha which caught Jisoo and I off guard, 'cause rather than giving a sexy vibe, the two girls made steps of flipping their hair continuously, and now I'm in the car with Jennie. Driving to nowhere. She said she knows a place but she didn't tell me where. She's been giving me directions to where I was supposed to go.

I didn't know what had gotten into me to ask her and get out of OPEN. We were enjoying it, I was enjoying it! But I thought I wanted to talk to her more. I wanted to make up for the time that we weren't speaking the past weeks. We chatted a bit but we were constantly interrupted. I also wanted to talk to her about the article.

While driving, she saw an opened SubWay and asked me to pull over. She went down but insisted that I could just wait for her in the car. After a few minutes, she went back with two sandwiches. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I smelled the bacon and cheese from the brown paper bag.

We went back to driving. We kept turning to a lot of streets before we got back to the main road.

I wonder where she's taking me.

The ride was a bit silent. I was thinking if she still feels uneasy around me. I hope not. She was just staring at her side of the window, sometimes looking back at stores or people we pass by. These thoughts in my head were cut in by a song that I didn't realize was part of my playlist. Unconsciously, I was already tapping the steering wheel in time of every beat. And the song finally reached the chorus, I sang with it.

Jennie was a bit stunned the moment I sang.

"You like this song, don't you?"

"Yeah. Makes my heart skip a bit all the time."

She chuckled. "Are you in love with the vocalist?"

I made a face. "No. But perhaps with the song."

"Yeah, I noticed how old it sounds. Is this your type of music? Mostly bands?" She asked.

"Not really. The lyrics and how it sounds just go together so well."

Jennie hummed in response and proceeded on telling me the direction to wherever we're going. I saw her bobbing her head with the song. And as the chorus was approaching, I had the urge to look at her by just how I think everything fits perfectly. The melody. The lyrics. Jennie. And my feelings. This moment felt like it was crafted from a movie that I never imagined could happen in real life.

I smiled to myself.

"What's this song called again?" Jennie asked.

"You give me something. Hmm are you saving it on your playlist?" I teased.

"Not yet. Though I admit it eventually grows on you."

**AUTHOR'S NOTE: Definitely a favorite :)

The sight where we were was getting familiar.

"Where are we really going?"

"Getting impatient, Ms. Manoban?" She said with a raised eyebrow.

"More like hungry! I haven't had dinner yet." I answered.

"We're almost there." Jennie gave me a reassuring smile.

I drove for a minute or two until I stopped at a very familiar place.

"Jennie, we're in front of your house."
