"Here you go."
"Thanks."
Chaeyoung answered after Bang Chan put her clothes from their home into a suitcase like she asked him to and brought it to her.
"Are you having fun?" He inquired with a small smirk playing at his lips.
"Yeah, sure." Chaeyoung responded merely. She got the suitcase and rolled it along the sidewalk, on her way back to Lisa's house.
"With Lisa?" Bang Chan stepped beside her, walking alongside her with a cheeky grin.
She knew he would mention her again, he does that a lot ever since she told him about her.
"Soon. She said she wants to ask me out." Chaeyoung shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
"That's good!" Bang Chan cheered, catching Chaeyoung off guard. "She supports you, you know. Like unconditionally. I could tell right away when I saw her at the banquet."
"Hm.." Chaeyoung hummed in response, also feeling like she gets her genuine support. "Anyway, what about mom and dad?"
Bang Chan's smile morphed to a grimace in an instant.
"Oh.... About dad..."

"You are kidding." Lisa snorted after Chaeyoung was done retelling her what she heard from her brother.
"I'm also angry. That's so low and petty of him," She frowned, placing her clothes into the closet with Lisa's assistance.
"To think he would sponsor the team that's up against us in the first round of the competition... just to eliminate me and make me go back home!"
"We should've seen it coming," Lisa nodded her head in agreement, putting a baby pink sweater neatly in her closet. "Either way, just giving the opposing team money won't make them better than you- I mean us."
"No, but money can always help them a lot and give them an advantage." Chaeyoung argued, slightly frustrated at the sudden competition.
When they were done with cleaning up and ranting, Lisa looked at Chaeyoung every now and then like she had something to say but decided not to do it.
"Lisa, if it's still about asking me out, we are basically girlfriends, so-"
"No, no..!" Lisa interrupted. "I mean, yes its about that but you don't seem in the mood, so I guess I'll keep it for another time..."
Chaeyoung glanced at the dejected girl and couldn't help but smile. "Actually, I already forgot about my dad."
Lisa lifted her head in slight excitement. Their eyes met and she looked at her questioningly. "Then, do you want to go out with me right now?"
"Like out out?" Chaeyoung asked.
"Um, yes." Lisa nodded sheepishly, half of her face turning red.
Chaeyoung didn't turn down that invitation as a nervous Lisa guided her out like she had already planned the day (which she most likely had).
