Playing With Fire (Liskook Fanfic)

Chapter 37: Second Chances

LALISA MANOBAN

Life is sure unpredictable.

Who would have thought there'd be a time in my life where I wished I wasn't born to experience such strange things?

Strange things like being caught in between Jungkook, Jimin, and Mina.

Mina.

Oh my goodness.

Don't get me all wrong, but what the hell was she doing here in my apartment?

I mean, it'd be alright if she told me at first, so that I can avoid this kind of heavy scenario between all of us, but she's a surprise!

A bomb, right in front of my face.

"I'm sorry for not telling you for my sudden appearance in front of your apartment. I just thought it'd be easier to sleep here for the outing tomorrow." Mina told me as we talked at the living room.

Jimin already stomp her way to my room after rolling her eyes at Mina while Jungkook, he's at the kitchen to get a drink for Mina as I requested.

"It's alright, but you should've texted me at least. I mean, we planned that you'll be fetch by Yugyeom and Mingyu tomorrow, right? You'll be riding with them." I said, smiling lightly.

I don't know how to control such situation right now, but I have to keep calm, understand and be reasonable as I can be.

She nodded her head, looking at me with apologetic eyes, "Yes, I'm sorry for ruining that plan. I just realized that I could be an inconvenient if they would drive all the way to our house, so I asked my parents if I could just sleep the night over here with you. But I didn't expect.... Jimin and... Jungkook would be here also."

Alright, I decided that whatever happened tonight have already happened and we can't do anything but to accept it.

Besides, I can't tell her, "Go home. I didn't expect you, so you can't sleep here."

I'm not that person, alright?

I released a sigh, "I understand. But please, next time, tell me so I can prepare. I mean... You got me surprised that I don't know where should I let you sleep..."

"I'll sleep on the couch, she can take the guest room." Jungkook suddenly appeared and said.

He put down the glass of orange juice on the table near Mina before standing beside the single couch where I'm sat.

"Ah, no... I can take... the couch here." Mina awkwardly uttered, barely glancing at Jungkook and me.

"If that's what you--"

I cut Jungkook from what he's about to say.

"No, you can take the guest room, Mina. Jungkook can sleep on my room with Jimin and I. I mean... I have extra mattress on my room." I said, feeling like I would regret it after when I'll see Jungkook entering my room.

"You'd let me sleep in your room?" Jungkook asked me.

I turned to him, "You can't sleep here. It's too cold."

"Didn't the guys slept in here, too?"

I shook my head, "Eunwoo, Mingyu and Yugyeom all slept together at the guest room. Jimin and I were in my room. No one has slept at the couch here."

He nodded in understanding.

"I can see you guys are so close. That's good." Mina suddenly said, laughing awkwardly.
