Lisa was in her usual blissful dream routine, when a sudden knock resonated outside her room. Internally cursing whoever it was outside, she sluggishly approached the door.

With still droopy eyes, she gazed at the male in front. "Rise and shine, sleepy head. It's seven in the morning." It was the overly hyperactive boy, Bambam. And if she wasn't too drowsy, she would've given him a powerful punch at his jovial face.

Still too sleepy, Lisa rudely slammed the door. Yet that was prevented by the male's foot. "Just give me five more minutes." She lethargically requested, stifling a drowsy yawn.

"As I much as I want to, I can't. Hyung will surely slit my neck if I did. Besides, your breakfast might get cold if you wake up late." And her hopes in staying in bed was swiftly dissolved with what he said.

"Fine. I'll be down in a minute." She muttered, and was planning on closing the door again. Yet it was again halted by the male's large and bare foot.

With her patience rapidly melting, she was having a hard time keeping her temper and stopping herself from shredding the male to bits. With a glare, she angrily scorned at him. "What is it this time?"

The once playful look on the male vanished and was replaced by a sincere one as he said, "Happy Birthday, Pokpak." And left without any other words.

Shocked for a few seconds, she shutted the door, and then started doing her rituals. After doing so, she went out her designated room.

Skipping down the long varnished stairs, Lisa began sauntering towards to what she presumed as the dining room. The blaring sound of laughter and teasing was a hint that it was indeed the correct room.

All heads turned at her spot when they heard her clear her raspy throat. And almost immediately, smiles adorned on their lips as they greeted her all together. "Happy birthday, Lisa!" Lisa can feel the floor quake as they all boomed out.

Beaming at them, she happily stated, "Thanks guys. But I think you should all tone it down a notch. People might still be sleeping you know." And the once cheery atmosphere, was replaced by their grunts.

"What I tell you? You do something good, and she doesn't appreciates it." Jinyoung grumbled, slumping down on his seat.

Copying his actions, Youngjae hollered. "Man, girls are so confusing." Lisa only giggled as response.

After eating or rather, devouring all of the food prepared, the gang's hunger was now completely satisfied. Three of them even did a loud burp as an evidence that they were all stuffed.

Huffing a contented breath, Jackson sighed in relief. "How I wish food in Cypress is as good as this." And the latter all agreed to his statement.

Standing up, Jaebum clap his hands together. "Okay. Now that's all over, let's clean the mess we made and hit the showers. We'll need to leave soon." Scrambling from their position, they all tidied up. All of their systems being all pumped up to what was coming.

All except for the flaxen haired girl.

"Lisa! Aren't you finished yet? You've been in there for ages."

Getting her satchel, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was dressed into her normal attire, a white peasant dress and her typical worn out brown boots.

Her grip on her satchel's strap suddenly tightened. She can't believe this, she was really doing this. And there is no turning back now. 'Deep breath, Lisa. You can do this. As long as you stick with them, you'll be fine.' She urged her anxious and uneasy self.
