JK

"Hey! Are you okay!" I shouted. After she left me again, well she likes hanging up with me. I stared on her door and slowly walked nearly until I heard a loud sounds like things were falling on the floor. I got panicked and knocked on her door. There's something wrong, I knew it when she suddenly felt down when I uttered her mom. She was like in her own world. She had her head low and uttered words in a small voice. Does she have problem with her mother? I don't know her personally but the way she acted was different because I am like that too to my parents. I don't know why it scares me the fact that she is having a hard time. I knocked repeatedly but she didn't answer I only heard things clattering. Gosh! What's happening to her?! I know now the feeling of the condo staff awhile ago when you heard nothing on some serious matter. I couldn't wait patiently and the silence response was adding to my exasperation. I went to my condo and called the reception if they had an emergency key that could open the door but unfortunately they haven't because its against the law.

"What kind of law is that? Its an emergency for pete's sake" I blurted out and put down the phone forcefully with a loud thud. I went back to her and knocked again. This time I heard nothing at all even falling objects were no where to be heard. Thats made me more panicked.

"Hey miss! I'm going to open the door" I scanned the door to find something that can easily break it but its really impossible because its a well built door. Even a strong person like me can't wreck it. I was about to knock again when suddenly her door opened but it just slightly open that only her face is visible. I gulped.

"You could break my door for knocking so hard and loud" she said weakly.

"You weren't responding" I stared at her with worriness.

"I was asleep" she's lying.

"I heard things falling"

"It was my cat" she has a cat? Oh? Did I care too much? Did I mistakenly heard it?

"A cat" I whispered "right, its just a cat" I said again looking everywhere but her. I tried to espy in the little space of the open door if I could see a cat. I'm not yet convince on her alibi. I wanted to have a proof.

"I think you need to go and mind your own" I snapped my head at her. She said and look at me with weariness.

"O-ok" once I said that she closed her door. I went back to my condo and slouch on my couch. I deep sighed. Did I care too much? You're weird Jungkook, you weren't like this with others. But on reality, what if something really bad happened to her? I would be responsible for it because I knew something unusual and I am her neighbor. I might be investigated for it and then I would feel guilty.

"Aish!" I ruffled my hair. I'm thinking too much. Don't jinx the situation JK. I'm really weird talking to myself. I heard a knock on my door. I stood up lazily and checked who was it. It was the condo staff. He just asked me if everything was okay because of the call I made. I told him everything was fine and got settled and lied that it was just my bathroom door and need to change the knob.

I still don't know her name.

When I arrived at the mini theater seats were already filled with students and it shocks me that majority of them were boys. I need to tap Bam's back for a job well done. Van, Jim and the rest of the club officers were already at the back stage having a quick huddle for the club first meeting. I sat beside Jim who's editing some clips. Am I the only one who isn't that busy? What is my task again here?

"Kook, you're the one to operate the powerpoint and everything. Here's the program" Right, I have to lead the technical team. Van handed me a paper where the program was written. I scanned it and read. I already knew what to do with here because I've done this task multiple times. Van wrapped up and we went to our each destination. I went to the back area the lifted part of the theater where the technical room located. Bam and Eunwoo are the host, Yugyeom is the floor director, Me and Jim in technical team while Van, of course he'll supervise everything. In five minutes the meeting will start. While waiting I leaned back on the chair staring at the monitor in front of me. A word 'Vante Media' our club name written in animated form swinging from left to write. Until I heard a noiseㅡ students chattering.

"Whats the commotion?" Jim asked. I shrugged doesn't also have an idea. We both stood and peek on the glass mirror. We're looking down from above room. My eyes widen and slightly stumbled. There she was looking for a seat. Boys on the front stood up and offered her a chair but she chose to seat at the back. Students were staring at her but she's ignoring them. She look unbothered.

"Wow! Is she an angel? She's so pretty" I heard Jim uttered.

"She's Lalisa, who's Bam talking about" a guy said. Oh, its Mingyu one of the Vante Media officer and a junior like Bam. I looked at him then back to her. Lalisa. That's her name. I smiled. Finally, I already know your name. 'Lalisa' I softly whispered. That's why I kept running to her because we are connected. I didn't expect her to be here and be interested in photography. I feel like its not her style but what do I expect? my gut feels always wrong. Well thats exaggerating, not always but sometimes. I think I have my energy back. I feel like doing my task precisely. Lets do this!
