Chaeyoung's POV

Lalisa Manoban
are you sure that your house is not haunted? I've been ringing the door bell but no one is answering. Are you a ghost? 👻

Park Roseanne
No silly, it's just that no one is home but me. I can't go down to open the door because I'm sick. Just get the key under the cat statue.

Lalisa Manoban
You hide your key under this statue? You like cats? 🐱

Park Roseanne
Yes but I like you bettter 😉

I started face palming myself when I clicked send. Why did you do that, self?! I'm so embarrassing. I hate myself. That was so cringey self! Why are you like this?!

My chest suddenly tightened. I am gonna meet my death soon. I'm gonna meet Lalisa soon which will be the death of me. So Lalisa herself, is death.

Park Roseanne
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to x( so cheesyyy, I know.

Park Roseanne
I honestly don't know why I did that.

Lalisa Manoban
it's fine, babe. You're so cute Cx you are making me fall in love.

Lalisa Manoban
I opened the door. Should I put back the key under Leo?

Park Roseanne

Lalisa Manoban

Park Roseanne
It has a name now? 😂 girl wot

Lalisa Manoban
I know, I'm sorry for being weird 🙈😂

Park Roseanne
No no, it's fine. I love the name you've came up with and I love weird 💙

Lalisa Manoban
You basically just said that you love me 😉 I love you, too. Don't worry.

I blushed and hid my face on my palm. I can feel butterflies on my stomach. Gosh, this conversation is making me red and hot!

Lalisa Manoban
So should I put it back?

Park Roseanne
Nah, it's yours. No one is using that anyway, congratulations for earning my house key 🎉

Lalisa Manoban
are you serious? 😱

Park Roseanne
yes lmao 😂 so you can go in here without my permission. You are welcome anytime. Even when I'm sleeping.

Lalisa Manoban
You are so sweet 💜 you are like my grandma!

Lalisa Manoban
I'm going up. Which room is yours?

Park Rosenne
You are sweeter than I am 💙 second room on the left.

I heard knocks on my door and I quickly said come in. The door opened, revealing a living barbie doll. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my entire life and here I thought that I will never meet a real Barbie. Oh younger self, you will meet a living Barbie Doll and you will just be "uwu"

We stared at each other for a while, memorizing each other's faces. Then suddenly my gaze went at her lips. It is so pinkish, it's like it's begging for me to kiss it. Oh how I love to ki--- wait! What the heck am I thinking?! We just met for Pete's sake! When did I turn into a pervert?! Freaking hormones, calm down!

I looked up at Lalisa's eyes and I caught her staring at my lips too. She suddenly licked her lips, teasing me. Nah, just kidding. She is definitely not teasing me. I mean, why would she? I'm a mess and she's a barbie doll. Then she looked up, meeting my gaze.

After all the silence, she spoke and every words she said felt like music to my ears. "It's nice to finally meet you, Park Roseanne."

"Likewise, Lalisa Manoban. But you can just call me Rosé or Chae." I gave her my warmest smile and she did the same. Seeing her smile is like seeing the sunrise. It was really beautiful. She's perfect. She's just so perfect.

"Then you can call me Lisa or Pokpak." She started walking towards me and every step she takes, the faster my heartbeat gets. And it is making it harder to breathe but I didn't let her see that I am in pain so I continued to smile.

I chuckled. "You have a cute nickname, Pokpak." She sat on my bed and we were just inches apart.

"A cute nickname for a cute girl. I love it." I continued and that made her smile more.

"You are such a charmer, Chaeng." And suddenly, I have a new nickname.

"But... are you okay? You look fragile and pale. Are you okay?" She asked, coming closer to me. She have this worried face on her face and that's making my face, red. She is worried at me even though we've only known each other for like days?

"I'm fine. It's just my sickness." I said, holding my chest to control the pain.

"What is your sickness?" I'm having second thoughts If I should tell her or not. If I tell her, she might avoid me but if I didn't and I suddenly die... she might end up blaming herself for it. I don't want to have the same fate to the girl at Midnight Sun (movie). That movie made me depressed. I cried over it for a day and I had a hard time moving on. I took me like a month to move on from that damn movie.

"Coronary Artery Disease." Confusion spreaded across her face. I chuckled. "Let's just say that I have a very weak heart."

"So that's why you're just staying here like a vampire." Lisa snapped her fingers. I nodded.

She started shaking her head like she's having second thoughts but she decided to toughen up then she spoke. "You are not gonna die... aren't you?" Lisa asked, having a hard time saying the word "die".

"Not yet. I am waiting for a heart donor, hoping that I will have it this year." I started playing with my hair but she interrupted it by holding my hand. When our hands met, I felt like an angel touched me. Her hands are so soft. Her skin is to die for. She is really that perfect.

"What will happen if you don't get it this year?" She asked, so concern that it made my heart go koo koo again.

"I'll die." She squeezed my hand like she just heard the most cruel words ever, like she's afraid of losing me.
