A few days had passed since the disastrous party, but the bitterness of that night still clung to Lisa.

She had barely spoken to Jungkook, ignoring his texts and calls.

But when he suggested they meet at their usual spot—the small, cozy bar near campus—she couldn’t avoid him forever.

As she walked in, she spotted him immediately.

Jungkook was sitting at their usual table, fiddling with his drink, his face a mix of nervousness and guilt.

Jk: "Hey," he said softly as she approached, his eyes searching hers.

Lisa sat down across from him, the silence between them heavier than usual.

Lisa: “You wanted to talk?”

Jungkook nodded, running a hand through his hair.

Jk:  “Lisa… about the other night, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I was drunk and stupid, but that’s not an excuse.”

Lisa sighed, feeling the weight of her anger ease just a little.

Lisa: “You always say that, Jungkook. ‘Drunk and stupid.’ But it still hurts.”

Jk: “I know,” he said, his voice quieter now.

Jk: “I don’t want to lose you because I’m an idiot.”

For a moment, they sat in silence, the tension slowly fading.

Jungkook looked up at her, his eyes soft with regret.

Jk: “Let’s not let that night ruin us, okay?”

Lisa looked at him, the sincerity in his voice cracking through the walls she had built.

Lisa: “Okay,” she said softly, though her heart was still heavy with something unsaid.

After few moments //

The bar was dimly lit, casting a warm, almost hazy glow over the room.

It was late, and the empty glasses on their table reflected how long Lisa and Jungkook had been there.

Lisa sat across from him, her cheeks flushed from both the alcohol and the weight of what she was about to say.

She swirled her drink lazily, avoiding his gaze.

Jungkook leaned back in his seat, a playful smirk tugging at his lips as he watched her.

He had no idea that the night was about to take a turn.

Lisa: "You know what, Jungkook?"

Lisa's voice slurred slightly, but there was something serious in her tone.

Lisa:  "You’re… you’re such an idiot."

Jungkook chuckled, leaning forward.

Jk: "Tell me something I don’t know. What’s up with you tonight, huh? You’re acting all weird."

She narrowed her eyes, her expression soft but pained.

Lisa: "I’m serious. You’re blind… so blind."

The smirk on his face didn’t falter.

Jk: "Blind? Babe, I’ve got 20/20 vision. What are you even talking about?"

Lisa paused, gathering herself.

Her heart raced as she pointed a shaky finger at him, her voice quiet but laced with a deep sadness.
