"Where's Jisoo?" I asked Bo-hyun, who was hanging out in our apartment, looking rather fidgety.

"Out shopping," he looked around the living room as I grabbed a lint roller and started lint rolling the sweater I was wearing.

I was getting ready for my date with Greg that I was semi-looking forward to now. It felt like more of a chore than anything at this point. I was excited about the pizza part though.

The last two days had been the most awkward of my life, thanks to Lisa's spontaneous kiss. All day yesterday, I thought about how she treated me in the morning, and how it felt right but also so weird. When I got home last night, I faked sick and made sure no one came in my room by turning out the lights and practically hiding under my blankets so my Kindle didn't shine too brightly.

Was I avoiding Lisa? Of course. I didn't know what to say to her, or how to react to her, and the one person I wanted I talk to, the one person I worked my problems out with was the problem this time. I thought about talking to Jisoo about it, but I didn't want to get her in the middle of our little roommate drama, especially because she probably wouldn't ever let us live it down.

That left Chahee, so when I got to work yesterday, I sat in her office and waited for her to come in. Unfortunately, she and Lisa really don't get along, so she wasn't of much help when it came to talking it out. She kept telling me to forget about Lisa and move on, that Lisa was just playing me, which I didn't believe was the truth, at least, I hoped it wasn't. Lisa would have no reason to do such a thing, except for...Cherry Chaser.

There was no way she was a Cherry Chaser. I couldn't believe the idea of such a thing, and I couldn't believe she would ruin our relationship for that, no way.

This morning, when I got ready for work, I slipped out quickly, avoiding her once again, and I knew she knew because later today, she sent me a text letting me know she was displeased with not seeing me in the morning. I felt guilty, so damn guilty, but I was a nervous wreck now whenever I was around her, and I hated that. I shouldn't be nervous around her, ever.

I pushed the Lisa drama out of my head when I got home from work and started getting ready for my date. I was hoping for at least an enjoyable night with Greg. He seemed like a good guy. I got a message from him earlier that he wasn't able to secure us reservations at the pizza place, but he thought it would be fun to make pizza at his place, which I decided I was comfortable enough with. I gave Chahee the guy's information, normally a task for Lisa, and told her if I didn't text her later tonight, he had abducted me.

I studied Bo-hyun some more and noticed he was really on edge, like bouncing his leg up and down, looking at his watch constantly kind of on edge.

Taking a moment, I sat next to him and asked, "Oppa, is everything okay? You seem a little strange right now."

"Fine," he curtly said, still looking at his watch.

"I don't buy it, what's going on?"

Bo-hyun ran his hands through his hair, looked around again, and then pulled something out from his pocket. He held it out to me and I gasped as I saw what it was.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"Yeah," he nodded.

"Are you proposing tonight?"

"I was thinking about it, but she's taking forever to get home. I'm going to lose my nerve."

"Why? Do you think she's going to say no?"

"She might. We haven't talked about marriage or anything like that, Jennie. But I know I can't be without her anymore. I can't stand this her place and my place thing. I want us to live together, to share a life together."
