"Rosé, I need to talk to you," Lisa blurted out, her voice tinged with urgency.

Rosé turned to her friend, concern flickering in her eyes. "What's wrong, Lisa? You seem troubled."

Lisa hesitated for a moment before pouring out her thoughts in a rush. "It's Jungkook. Something feels off between us. We've been acting strangely towards each other lately, and I can't shake the feeling that I might be developing feelings for him. But it doesn't make sense! We've always been at odds with each other, and now suddenly, everything feels different."

Rosé listened attentively, her brow furrowing in thought. "Hmm, that is strange," she mused. "But maybe there's a reason for it. Sometimes, people's feelings change unexpectedly, and it's important to explore those emotions rather than dismiss them."

Lisa nodded, her mind whirling with uncertainty. "But what if I'm just imagining things? What if I'm reading too much into it?"

Rosé placed a comforting hand on Lisa's shoulder. "It's okay to be unsure, Lisa. Feelings can be complicated, but they're also valid. Maybe it's worth talking to Jungkook about how you're feeling. It might help clear things up and bring some clarity to the situation."

"Nah, Rosie, that'll make things even worse. I'm sure he sees me as a friend. I mean, I don't even know if he sees me as a friend, as we've never ever got along with each other, and now? I'm the one who's feeling this. If I say this to him, then things will get even worse, and who knows, his attitude might change, and he'll start acting differently with me," Lisa replied, her voice filled with uncertainty.

Rosé nodded sympathetically, understanding Lisa's apprehension. "I see what you mean, Lisa. It's a tricky situation, for sure."

Lisa sighed, feeling a wave of frustration wash over her. "Exactly. I just don't know what to do. I feel like I'm stuck in this endless loop of confusion."

Rosé offered a reassuring smile. "Maybe it's best to take some time to sort through your feelings before making any decisions. And remember, I'm here for you no matter what."

Grateful for Rosé's support, Lisa nodded. "Thanks, Rosie,. I really appreciate it."

With a renewed sense of determination, Lisa decided to take Rosé's advice and give herself some space to process her emotions. As she walked away, she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that her relationship with Jungkook was about to take an unexpected turn, and she couldn't help but wonder what the future held for them.

As Lisa pondered her next steps, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the back of her mind. She knew she needed to address her feelings for Jungkook, but the fear of potentially ruining their friendship weighed heavily on her.

Lost in her thoughts, Lisa wandered aimlessly through the school corridors, her mind consumed by a whirlwind of doubts and uncertainties. She couldn't help but replay their interactions in her head, searching for any clues or signs that might shed light on Jungkook's feelings towards her.

Suddenly, Lisa's train of thought was interrupted by the sound of her name being called. Looking up, she saw Jungkook approaching her, a curious expression on his face.

"Hey, Lisa. Are you okay? You seem a bit... off," Jungkook remarked, his voice filled with genuine concern.

Lisa forced a smile, trying to mask her inner turmoil. "Oh, I'm fine, Jungkook. Just lost in thought, I guess."

Jungkook nodded understandingly, but there was a flicker of something in his eyes that Lisa couldn't quite decipher. Was it concern? Curiosity? Or something else entirely?

"Lisa, don't you think we've been acting all sweet and cringe with each other? Like, that's not how we usually act! We always act like enemies, and now it feels like we're dating or something. But in reality, we aren't even sure if we're friends or not," Jungkook pointed out, his tone laced with uncertainty.

Lisa felt a pang in her heart as Jungkook expressed his doubts about their relationship. He wasn't wrong—they had always clashed and never communicated in a normal manner. It was hard to believe they were friends from the start.

"Yeah, you're right," Lisa sighed, her voice heavy with regret. "We've never really been able to find common ground, have we?"

Jungkook shook his head, his expression somber. "No, we haven't. But maybe it's time we tried to change that. I don't want us to keep pretending like everything's fine when it's clearly not."

Lisa nodded in agreement, a glimmer of hope stirring within her. "You're right, Jungkook. Maybe it's time we stopped pretending and started being honest with each other."

With a shared sense of determination, Lisa and Jungkook embarked on a journey to redefine their relationship. As they navigated the complexities of their feelings, they knew that honesty and communication would be key to overcoming the barriers that had kept them apart for so long.

"Sooo, let's try to be friends?" he asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

Lisa's expression dropped as she wanted to be more than just friends, but she knew that would never happen.

"Alright, alright, I understand it's weird for us to be friends... Well, at least until this project is over? We'll try to be friends until this project is over," he cleared his throat.

Lisa felt empty. He wanted to be friends with her just for this project?

Despite her disappointment, Lisa managed a weak smile and nodded. "Yeah, sure. We can try to be friends for the project."

As they exchanged a tentative agreement, Lisa couldn't shake the feeling of sadness that lingered in the pit of her stomach. She knew that their friendship, if it could even be called that, was built on shaky ground. But for the sake of the project, she was willing to try—even if it meant suppressing her true feelings for Jungkook.
