Save Me - BTS Family

How could he

The academy buzzed with energy. Teachers and students alike were bustling about, It was the one-year anniversary of J-Hope's academy, and he had called all the staff together for a meeting. The room was filled with excited chatter, but Lisa couldn't help feeling restless.
Since she caught J-Hope staring at her through the studio door, he'd been avoiding her.
She'd noticed his sudden change in behavior—less teasing, fewer casual conversations, and absolutely no playful banter.

Lisa sat in the conference room along with others, fidgeting with her water bottle, replaying the scene over and over in her head.

Does he like me? Or did I completely misread him? she thought, frustrated. She liked J-Hope—more than she wanted to admit—and the thought of being wrong about his feelings made her cautious.

 "Noona" Jimin noted Lisa in another world, by voice of Jimin, Lisa came on earth.
Jimin sitting next to Lisa and trying to stifle his giggles as Lisa quietly poked his arm.

J-Hope entered the room, clapping his hands. "Alright, everyone, settle down!" His voice carried the warmth and authority that always made the room fall silent. Lisa's heart skipped a beat as his eyes briefly met hers before shifting away.

"First of all, thank you all for being part of this incredible journey," J-Hope began.
"One year ago, this academy was just a dream, and today, it's thriving because of each one of you."

Everyone clapped, and Lisa felt a swell of pride for the academy and its charismatic leader.

"I have an idea," J-Hope continued, pacing the room.
"Let's host a party this weekend—a get-together to celebrate our first anniversary and to showcase this academy on social media. It'll give us more reach, and who doesn't love a good celebration?"

"That's a great idea! Hyung" Jimin chimed in, grinning.
"We can post clips online, and people will see how amazing this place is." another Taeyoung added and others nodded in agreement, throwing in ideas for the party.

"Alright, let's finalize the details tomorrow," J-Hope said, dismissing everyone.
"Thank you again, and let's make this party something to remember."

As the teachers began filing out, Jimin stand and look at her - he wanted to call but he chose not to disturb them as he still trying to find out what the relation between them, Jimin left them and walk from the room. Lisa remained seated. She wasn't ready to leave—not yet.

Lisa watching J-Hope casually organize some papers on the desk. Her heart raced, but she stayed quiet, unsure how to break the silence.

J-Hope glanced at her, raising an eyebrow. "You're still here, Lisa-ssi? Is there something you want to talk about?"

Lisa hesitated, her fingers nervously tracing the edge of her water bottle. "I just... I thought maybe we could talk about the party plans. It's a big deal for the academy, right?"

"Right" Jhope smirk on her lie as that it written all over her face

"You are the boss" Jhope again added in tease. He smiled, walking over and pulling out the chair beside her. "But that's not what's really on your mind, is it?"

His tone was playful, but his gaze was steady. Lisa felt her breath hitch as he leaned back, looking completely at ease while she struggled to find her words.

"You've been avoiding me" she finally said, meeting his eyes with as much courage as she could muster.

J-Hope tilted his head, feigning surprise. "Avoiding you? Why would I do that?"

Lisa narrowed her eyes. "You tell me. Ever since that day in the studio... you haven't been the same."

He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, closing the distance between them. "And what exactly do you think happened in the studio, Lisa-ssi?"
