ㅤㅤJungkook opened his eyes and turned to look at the alarm clock that read 7:44. Groaning, he rolled over to see a small body swathed in blankets and comforters. Wisps of light blonde hair shone in the sunlight filtering through the window.

ㅤㅤJungkook slowly got up and walked around the bed to where the girl was facing. Kneeling on the ground, he smiled as he heard her faint breaths coming in and out of her nose. Her long eyelashes slowly ruffled as Jungkook breathed over them. Admiring her soft, peaceful sleeping face, he smiled.

ㅤㅤI really like you Lisa. I won't deny it this time.

ㅤㅤHe slowly brought his hand up and carefully curled a lock of her hair behind her ear with his long fingers.

ㅤㅤI'll always protect you no matter wh-

ㅤㅤ"Lisa?!", a muffled shout was heard from the locked bedroom door.

ㅤㅤJungkook jumped as reality hit his senses.

ㅤㅤOh no, Margaret and Lucas would be looking for her! Wait but they can't see her with a headache from being drunk last night. I need to do something before they wake her up with all that noise.

ㅤㅤTip-toeing/running to the door, Jungkook twisted the lock and opened the door. He slipped through the open crack and delicately shut it behind him.

ㅤㅤMargaret and Lucas were standing in positions as if they were just about to pounce on him.

ㅤㅤ"Uh h-hi? Are you guys looking for Lisa?"

ㅤㅤMargaret immediately responded.

ㅤㅤ"Yes yes! Do you know where she is??"

ㅤㅤ"Oh yeah don't worry! She's sleeping in my room right now. She's just.... S-she just wanted to be alone for some time...", Jungkook eyed the couple nervously. Would they ask to check on her if she's just sleeping?

ㅤㅤMargaret looked like she wanted to barge in and carry Lisa away, but Lucas looked at Jungkook understandingly.

ㅤㅤ"Margaret, don't fret about Lisa. She'll be out and about soon."

ㅤㅤ"I just hope she's okay... I don't want her to get sick like I am now."

ㅤㅤAs Margaret was speaking, Jungkook noticed that her eyes and nose were redder than normal.

ㅤㅤFive seconds passed with a moment of silence where no one said anything. Jungkook looked at Lucas to see a flicker of anger flash in his eyes. But as fast as it came, it disappeared and was replaced with a wary cheerfulness. Surprised, Jungkook spoke,

ㅤㅤ"I checked on her just now and she was just fine! No need to worry!", out of instinct, Jungkook did a fraction of a bow and skedaddled back into his room, catching a glimpse of Margaret and Lucas exchanging skeptical glances.

ㅤㅤBreathing a sigh of relief, he looked back to the bed only to find Lisa sitting up and clutching her head in pain.

ㅤㅤ"Lisa! Are you okay?", Jungkook hurried next to her, eager to aid in any way possible. Lisa rubbed her eyes and slowly looked around.

ㅤㅤ"Ahh, Jungkook... why am I in your room?? And why does my head hurt so muchhh...."

ㅤㅤ"Ohh, that's because you were drinking last night and...." (Careless Whisper starts playing) Jungkook trailed off as he remembered the activities that happened "last night".
