Laughter fills the air, along with the smell of fried chickens. Jisoo, who's leaning against the kitchen countertop in the middle, shakes her head, watching Lisa pepper my face with kisses. I can't do anything about it when she's bear-hugging me, never giving me the chance to slip away.

After doing my part in cooking the hotdogs, Jennie asks for my help to stand guard for any incoming Jisoo attacks, especially since Jisoo's hanging around in the kitchen. She's behaving though, but I don't know to what extent since Jisoo's eyes are glinting as she looks at the fried chickens.

Jennie turns off the stove as she places the last chicken in the bowl. "Hey, stop messing around the kitchen."

In between giggles, I manage to say, "Unnie, it's Lisa's fault!"

"I can't," Lisa says as she kisses me, "help," another kiss, "it!" then another one. Finally, she stops the kisses, but the hug gets more tight. "Chaeyoung-ah, don't forget me!"

"Why does it sound like a goodbye?" I ask, turning to her.

"Well, you'll soon graduate. I have two more semesters, Chaeyoung! Who's going to be my friend in the campus now?"

"You have lots of friends!"

"But they're not as cute as you!"

Lisa's statement sends me blinking fast. Sure, she has her cute moments, but this is definitely something else.

Jisoo goes beside Jennie, staring at us like they're scientists and we are their test subjects. "Is this the effect of the 'cool off' thing?"

"Yep," Jennie replies, popping the 'p' at the end.

The mention of 'cool off' makes me glance at Lisa, just in time to see the smile on her lips falter. It's better than her tearing up with the mention of Jungkook's name, but that doesn't mean I'm not worried. The three of us exchange glances. Good thing Jennie changes the topic.

"Hey, just wondering, what's your ring size? I'm planning to give you guys friendship rings to commemorate our friendship."

Glances are exchanged again, this time, I'm the one excluded. Something about it makes Lisa smile. She hugs me one last time and whispers, "I'm gonna miss you..."

Before I can ask about it, Jisoo claps her hands once. "Remember how we met these two?" she asks Jennie, pertaining to Lisa and me.

Nodding, Jennie moves the chicken bowl on the countertop, opposite of where Jisoo is, when she notices unnie's eyes focused on the bowl. "Was it our sophomore year? No wait, junior year...?"
