Roseanne

"Ooooh yes, that one right there," I laughed as I lay next to Jungkook in his bed.

He put one finger up to his mouth, making a gagging motion. "Absolutely not. He's wearing a MAGA hat. I told you using my current location on the dating app would be a disaster. The last thing I want is to hook up with someone in this podunk town who is still stuck in the closet."

That makes one of us, I thought to myself.

"Technically, aren't you stuck in the closet here?"

Jungkook waved one hand at me. "Semantics." I playfully shoved him and we broke into another fit of laughter. "Listen," Jungkook said, suddenly becoming serious. "I'm loving these late night hangouts, but they really do need to stop. I don't want my parents to catch us and get the wrong idea."

"Do you think your parents would be more upset if they thought I was screwing you silly in here or helping you pick out guys on a dating app?"

Jungkook rolled his eyes at my question. "I'd rather not have them thinking we're doing anything, hence why you should go back to going to bed earlier than Nana, like you did the first week here." He shoved me back and added, "But just for the record, they would totally prefer you screwing me silly. At least that could give my mom grandbabies. But could we drop it? Thinking about it makes me want to barf."

"Hey, I'll have you know that I'm a great lay," I pouted.

"And I don't doubt that one bit, darling. But in case you haven't noticed, you're not my type."

No, but I am another Manoban sibling's type.

And just like that my mind was back on Lisa. After her big reveal on Friday night, our interactions made so much more sense. It turned out I hadn't been imagining the flirting and the chemistry. And that kiss. That kiss proved how electric we were together. Unfortunately, the kiss was a mistake and couldn't happen again. There was no way I could hook up with Lisa without revealing the truth about her brother. And it's not like I could ask Jungkook if it was okay because that would involve outing Lisa. What a mess. I was stuck acting like the doting girlfriend and trying to ignore the sexual tension surging between Lisa and I, which was really hard when she did things such as getting her pants zipper caught and then pinning me against the wall. I wanted to have my way with her right there in the dressing room and I probably would have if she hadn't backed off.

"Speaking of being super duper gay," Jungkook interrupted my thoughts, "I don't think it's a good idea to tell my sister anytime soon. I felt it out and I'm still not sure how she would react."

"Why is that?" I asked a little too intensely, selfishly wishing that Jungkook would just tell her already.

"Well, she was saying how cool you were. Weird, right? Clearly, she doesn't know you. Anyway, I made a joke about how maybe she wanted to date you and she got ridiculously flustered."

"Well, that is a really awkward joke, dude." I tried my best to keep my voice level, so Jungkook didn't realize how overwhelmed I felt about that "joke."

"Only if you're a homophobe who has an issue with two girls being together, dude," Jungkook fought.

I shook my head. "You're missing the point. It's not awkward because of it being two girls together. It's awkward because you are implying that your sister wants to date her believed-to-be future sister-in-law."

Jungkook squinted his eyes, as if he was considering my words. "I guess that's a good point. But in that case, I feel like it would only be awkward if it was true, which it obviously isn't."
