Lisa's muscles contracted and relaxed as she jogged through the gravelled paths. The area was silent. The only sounds heard were her pants and constent tapping on her, new-generation-mobile-device.Sliding her finger across the stars to a five for all the profiles of the people on her social media. She didn't even pay attetion to what they posted. But just blindly silently read their names and gave them five ratings.
'Lee sanghun' [4.5.₇₈]
★★★★★'Kim Jonghun' [4.2.₀₂]
★★★★★'Jung Jimin' [3.8.₉₈]
★★★★★'
you have been rated!'
She smile to yourself when she heard her phone beep. They rated her back. And to her joy, they rated her to a five. She sighed in contentment as she glance at her number slowly rolling up to a 4.5.
'congratulations,
you are now a 4.5'
'Lisa Manoban [4.5]'Finally satisfied with her status, witched off her device and concentrated on her excercise. She was eager to lose a couple of pounds. Not that it bothered her but it did for her boyfriend, Jeon Jungkook.
It was definately cruel of him to point out her insecurities. She thought that she was too 'skinny' for him.
"If you still want to be my girlfriend, I recommend that you gain your weight a bit. You're only still a 4.3. Gaining weight will help you reach to my level." He used to say.
As she twisted her hips from left to right, she click on her boyfriend's profile to look at his status.
'Jeon Jungkook [4.8.₅₇]
She couldnt lie yourself. As much as she hated to admit it, his words pierced through every inch of her body. She had a choice to break up with him but yet she don't.
Breaking up with him would only result in her status decreasing from a 4.3 to a 3.6, she absolutely dreaded that happening. Sadly, she was desperate to boost her social media hits. Sometimes she did not know why she loved Jungkook.
Was it because he used to shower her with kisses and hugs, buy her favourite meals, or surprise her with sudden backhugs ?
Or was it because of his status? A 4.8 man. Every girl would kill to be in a relationship with a man of such high standards.
Even Lisa.
