The Star and the Fangirl - A Lisrene Adaptation (AU)

Chapter 6 - A Mind of their Own

"Chaeng! We're here, we're freaking here!"

"Oh, Lisa..." Chaeyoung grumbled while waking up from her sleep.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I'm so excited, I really can't contain my happiness!"

"I'm happy for you Lis." Chaeng smiled tiredly while looking at Lisa.

"Okay... So what's the plan now?"

"We get out of the plane, we get to our hotel, we each take a bath because we smell like garbage."

"YOU smell like garbage."

"WE smell like garbage. On fire." Chaeng emphasized her words and then continued: "And then you go your way, I go mine. I'm pretty sure you'll find the location of the club on the internet in no time and you'll be able to get there without problems. IF you get lost or anything else, text me, call me, send me a pigeon, I don't care. I will pick you up in a second, okay?"

"Okay, mom!"

"Oh shut up, you know you like it when someone takes care of you!"

"Aish... Okay" They chuckled.

"So...what are you going to do after the concert?"

"Cry." Lisa deadpanned.

"Cry?" Chaeyoung was confused.

"Because nothing will ever top that."

"Nothing?"

"Nothing."

"Not even like...a lot of money?"

"Nope."

"A great camera?"

"Nope."

"Getting married to Jennie?"

Lisa stopped for a split second, looked at her hands, looked back at Chaeng and said with a faint smile.

"Okay, that would top that."

"Hmm. Took you a second. But I...believe you!"

"You do?"

"Yeah... Well, it doesn't matter if I believe it's true. It's your and Jennie's relationship, and only your opinions and feelings should matter in the end."

"I guess you're right."

"Okay then, Lisa Kim, the future wife of Jennie Kim, let's roll!"

"Let's roll!" Lisa smiled and thought about what Chaeng just said. I mean yeah. It's been hard in our relationship lately but.. You know, everyone has to go through that I suppose. I mean, I don't know, I'm not an expert, but I guess... I don't want to be alone. And I know no one will love me like Jennie does ever again. It's lame, my self-esteem is a joke, but... I love her and I want to be with her. And I will work for the both of us if I have to so that we can both be happy again.

Then she pulled out her phone and texted Jennie.

Hey babe! We just landed, we're going to the hotel and after that it's concert time! I love you, I hope you're having a great day!

She put her phone back into her pocket and went with Chaeng out of the plane.

"Okay, let's catch a cab and go to our hotel." Chaeng half-yelled as they we're walking out a crowded airport.

"I'm right behind ya!" Lisa responded.

After they got to the hotel, they both started to prepare themselves for the evening that was to come. Lisa blasted Irene's single Russian Roulette  while they were getting ready.

"I really like this song, what's it called again?"

"Oh, its her new song, its called Russian Roulette. It's a catchy song right?"

 "Yeah, like so catchy... heart b-b-b-beat... Is she going to perform it tonight?"

"Yes! She will be performing all her songs, so yeah... I can't wait for this one. And Candy. Candy  is such a sweet song. And like... Every song, it will be a blast."

"I hope you'll have a blast Lis." Chaeng smiled kindly.

"Me too Chaeng, me too!" She responded happily as she saw her phone vibrate. It was Jennie:

Glad you arrived! Have a good time!

Lisa smiled and wrote back:

What are you doing tonight?

I will probably hang out with my dog. And maybe I'll go out with my colleagues. Jennie replied.

Oh, that's great! I hope you will have a great night, and I hope you will have the energy for tomorrow's work! I love you and I miss you!

Thank you Lisa, have a nice night!

Lisa sighed.

"What is it?" asked Chaeyoung.

 "Oh, nothing, I'm just thinking about which song to play next."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, yeah... Let's keep this party going!"

"Woo-woo!" They both cheered. Lisa didn't want to talk about her relationship right now. She just wanted to get ready, find the location of Club RV, go there early so she can find a good spot to sit and enjoy herself, at least a little.

"How's everyone doing?" Irene asked at the rehearsal.

A collective "Great!" was heard from the stage as the band that was going to perform with Irene were tuning their instruments and generally preparing themselves for the rehearsal and mic check.

Okay, let's get this started. Irene hyped herself up before getting on stage.

---

I'm sure it's here... It HAS to be here... It's - it's - HERE! Lisa stopped in front of the club.

Club RV. Oh wow. This is it. She looked around to assure herself she wasn't dreaming or anything. Should I go in? I mean, I can hear the music...but, I don't know. Is it okay for me to do that? I mean, fans probably get to get in later on, this was probably just for the band and for Irene. And her crew.

While she was thinking about all that, Lisa's legs started to work on their own and she was getting into the club without thinking about it. Her camera was dangling from around her neck. A few steps in, a very young bodyguard was standing looking at Lisa. He saw her, looked at her and stopped his gaze while looking at her camera. Lisa was still walking inside, unaware of what she was doing or what was going on.
