not much of a good idea (11)

n/a: all mistakes are mine

3:34PM.

i pulled away from chaeyoung and gave her a glare. "hey, i don't think it's appropriate to hug in public," i whispered.

she arched a perfectly plucked brow. "why?"

"we're both celebrities. we have eyes around us," i replied.

"so?" chae stepped back and folded her arms.

looking at her now. . . nothing had changed. she's still breathtakingly beautiful. her voice is still soothing and gentle. she's still so very perfect.

and i'm still pathetically in love with her.

"so, we can't hug," i replied, trying my best to sound nonchalant.

"what kind of logic is that, lisa-"

"u-uhm. we need to go, blackpink must be waiting for you," i stuttered and pointed at the table jisoo and jennie was seated in.

i turned my head to ally and gave her a knowing nod. we were about to walk away when suddenly chaeyoung grabs my wrist to stop me.

i slowly looked at her and i just wish that i didn't. the both ends of her lips are tugged down, forming a very noticeable frown. i gulped hard trying my best to look unfazed.

"what is wrong with you, lisa? we haven't seen each other for a year and this is how you act," chaeyoung's voice was low but very firm.

"chae, please. . . not here. people are watching," i said, almost pleading.

"if not here then where?" she asked and took a step closer to me. "please let me talk to you."

i sighed deeply and mustered all my strength to look at her. my face was straight, not showing any kind of emotions.

"i have nothing to say to you. we have nothing to talk about," my voice was cold, unsympathetic.

her hand that was holding my wrist got tighter. "if you have nothing to say, then i do. and what do you mean we have nothing to talk about? lisa, i need to talk to you, we need to talk," she looked back at me, but this time her gaze and voice much softer. "i missed you, lali."

my tensed muscle relaxed the moment i heard her call me by my pet name. the name rolls out her tongue so naturally, so soothing. i melted like butter.

i gulped hard and teared my gaze away from her. "7:00PM. later, at k's cafè," i said monotonously and still not looking at her.

i heard a sigh of relief from her. "thank you so much, lisa," chaeyoung moved her hand down to my hand to gently squeeze it before walking away from us to approach her other blackpink members.

"holy shit," i heard ally cursed behind me.

"let's go," i said and hastily pulled her with me out of the restaurant.

"fuck, fuck, fuck me," i kept on muttering under my breathe.

ally and i successfully made our way back to my hotel. it had been 30 minutes, but i just couldn't get over it. her voice and beauty is stuck in my head. butterflies are still in my tummy; my heart is still oh so very fast. adrenaline still flowing in my veins. i just couldn't get her out of my system.

"calm down, lisa," i felt ally's gentle hand on my back, rubbing slowly to calm me down.

my face was buried in both my palms. i was trying so hard not to cry although both my eyes are already overcrowded with heavy and pain-filled tears.
