Destiny's Children

12. The Book

“STOP LAUGHING AT ME LISA!! IT’S NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!”, Jungkook is almost at the verge of cursing the girl dying of laughter.

“So…In short… You are getting a boner …. By watching a mystery man… in your dreams….”, Lisa speaks out while clutching her stomach to control her laughter.

“ THE BONER WAS ONLY AN ONE TIME THING!!, Jungkook protests loudly causing a few heads to turn toward their director.

“ Calm down hero… if my boss hears me discussing about your boner on my break.. She might not give one next time”, Lisa whispers cautiously. Hwasa is a very nice boss to Liza and she is really grateful to that… But the lady is also quite strict about work hours. 

“So… was he handsome?” , Lisa asks with a mischievous grin.

“ LISAA!!!” , Jungkook can’t believe that he is being teased like that. ‘ Gosh I shouldn’t have give her the last info..’, He wishes to slap himself.

“Why are you blushing?”, Lisa attacks again.

“NO I’M NOT!!”, Jungkook protests in vain as he himself can feel his neck getting hotter every second.

“If I knew beforehand… I would have never told you this much!! Why are you like this?!”, Jungkook blurts out as he feels more frustrated.

“ Because I’m your friend dummy… And it’s what friends do.. they pull each other's legs for their embarrassing moments!!”, Lisa tries to defend herself.

“I..I am sorry Liz.. I didn’t mean to say it like that… actually you are the first real friend I ever have in my life… I am still learning the rule…”, Jungkook feels bad thinking he made Lisa upset.

“Oh Kookie!! There are no rules of friendship that you need to learn!! Well except the rule of not saying ‘sorry’ and ‘thanks’ … so never repeat that again… ok?”, She looks at her friend affectionately; “ And about the new nickname… I kinda like Liz..”, She smiles vibrantly.

Jungkook blushes slightly… this feeling of belonging is completely new to him..

“So .. about those dreams.. since when have you having them?”, Lisa asks as she sips her coffee.

“ About a week now…”, Jungkook replies.

“And it’s always the same guy?”, She further queries.

“ Seems like it?”, Jungkook replies after thinking a bit.

“What do you mean?”, Lisa asks putting her cup down.

“Well… until today.. I’ve never seen his face..”, Jungkook explains.

“And.. this face.. have you seen it before?”, Lisa sounds concerned.

“No.. I would’ve remember that face..”, Jungkook answers confidently. 

“Oh! Of course you would!”, Lisa smirks earning a glare from Jungkook.

“Has anything change recently? Like in your daily habit?”, She becomes serious again.

“Well aren’t the dreams themselves sound like a change enough??”, Jungkook scoffs.

Lisa thinks again before asking this time, “ How about your romantic life?”

“What about it?” , Jungkook is confused of the sudden question.

“I mean your sexuality.. Have you always known that you are attracted to men?”, Lisa asks in more serious tone.

Jungkook closes his eyes to think before answering the question, “ To be honest… I’ve never thought myself romantically involved with anyone… boy or girl.. all I knew that I only brings bad luck to people’s life…”, Jungkook stops to take a deep breath and looks straight into Lisa’s eyes, “ That was until I was able to save you from that accident which gave me a tiny bit of hope on myself… So no.. I have never thought of exploring my sexuality or its possibility…”
