Big doe-like eyes widened in panic, betraying the nervousness that coursed through him as he found himself surrounded by a sea of unfamiliar faces. Jungkook, with his white skin seeming to gleam like diamonds under the party lights, was an innocent soul navigating the world of adults. Barely eighteen, he stood on the precipice of adulthood, untouched by its trials and tribulations.

He had chosen a quiet corner at Namjoon's birthday party, out of sight from the bustling crowd. An introvert by nature, the chaos of a party was not his ideal setting. He tried to steady himself, each blink accompanied by a fresh wave of sweat on his palms.

In the midst of his nervous solitude, a girl dressed in short clothing approached him, offering a friendly smile. She asked if she could join him, and Jungkook, flustered and taken aback, hesitantly claimed he was waiting for his girlfriend—a lie, for he had never ventured into the realms of dating or relationships.

The girl, perceptive to his shyness, complimented him, calling him cute, which sent a blush creeping across his cheeks. Grateful for her understanding, Jungkook managed to stammer out a hesitant thank you.

Seeking a moment of respite, Jungkook swiftly pulled out his phone and called Lisa, a friend he had known since high school. He longed for the reassurance of a familiar voice amidst the unfamiliarity of the party.

"When are you coming?" He implored impatiently, his voice a mix of nerves and eagerness. A young girl's naive voice responded, promising, "I'll be there in ten more minutes, Kookie." He sighed in relief, clinging to the lifeline of familiarity that Lisa's arrival would bring.

"Okay. I'm waiting; be quick," he murmured softly, already feeling a bit more at ease knowing that a friend would soon be by his side in this sea of strangers.

Jungkook cherished the tight-knit friendship he shared with Lisa, Bogum, and Yugyeom. Each of them held a unique place in his life, creating a bond that transcended mere camaraderie.

Lisa, the baby of their foursome, was often spoiled by the trio of boys, their protectiveness a testament to their deep affection for her.

Bogum and Yugyeom, too, were an integral part of Jungkook's life. Best buddies since the early days of their friendship, they stood by each other through thick and thin, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

The recent proposal to Lisa brought immense happiness to Jungkook. He celebrated her joy, thrilled to see a member of their group transition from singlehood to a promising future with someone they loved. It was a significant milestone that prompted a change in their group's name from "Moanless Buddies" to something that reflected this newfound phase of Lisa's life.
