Immediately the bell rang for lunch, Bambam wasted no time in grabbing Lalisa's hand and dragging her out of the class.
"What are you doing here?!", Lalisa smacked the boy's arm repeatedly.
"Ow, ow. Way to give a warm and welcome greeting.", Bambam sarcastically uttered, rubbing his now sore arm.
"Sorry. I mean, how, why, when, you know. How come you're suddenly in Seoul and why didn't you bother telling me?", Lalisa asked.
"Um, I came here by plane. I arrived a couple days ago. I came because I missed you and I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you.", Bambam answered her questions.
"Aww, that's so sweet...and so stupid.", Lalisa smacked his arm once again.
"Ow, geez Pri. What the heck do they put in Korean dishes, boosters? Your hits have gotten way more painful.", Lalisa rolled her eyes at her dramatic childhood best friend.
"And your parents just let you come to Seoul, even to the extent of enrolling into a school, which is a sign of long term settlement, just because you missed me?", Lalisa folded her arms and cocked an eyebrow upwards.
"Actually, they said I was giving them too much of a headache...", Bambam sheepishly smiled, scratching his nape and Lalisa was not surprised in the least bit.
Kunpimook Bhuwakul was quite a handful.
"...but you should've seen them at them at the airport though. I don't even know who cried more.", Bambam chuckled and Lalisa joined him.
"Well it's great to have you here.", Lalisa smiled.
"It's great to be here. I can't wait to take over Seoul-"
"You're not taking over Seoul or anything of that sort until you treat me to a meal. The last time I visited Thailand you bailed on me.", Lalisa stopped his declaration midway.
Lalisa had actually been visiting Thailand frequently to visit during the vacations but her parents were never aware about it. She always stayed at Bambam's place.
"You know, you just might be the reason why I run out of cash so quickly everytime you come home.", Bambam chuckled before suddenly turning serious.
"I also heard about your parents. Are you okay?", Bambam asked, holding her hand with one hand and the other cupping her cheek, a familiar gesture to both of then when either one was upset.
"I'm fine, let's not talk about it.", Lalisa said, her voice losing its cheery tone at the mention of her parents.
"Okay.", Bambam sighed, knowing how that was such a sensitive topic for her.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to my friends.", Lalisa dragged Bambam by his arm into the cafeteria where she introduced him to Jisoo and Jennie who had seemingly gotten along even without an introduction from Lalisa.
What Lalisa and Bambam were not aware of was the figure who 'observing' them from a corner in the hallway whiles drinking his banana milk, his eyes turning even harder after Bambam touched her.

"Hey you! Bambam, right?!", said boy turned his head at the mention of his name.
"Uh, hi. We're in the same class, right?"
"Yeah, I'm Jungkook."
"Oh, hello then."
"I couldn't help but notice how close you were with Lalisa.", Jungkook started.
"Yeah, she and I go a long way back."
Well, it's not like he was lying...
"Oh really? So you're like her ex boyfriend or something?", Jungkook asked, not wanting to think that he probably might be her current boyfriend. After all, Lalisa was supposed to like him.
"No. But we're closer than that. Why? Do you like her? Is she your girlfriend?", Bambam asked.
"No, it's nothing like that. I was just curious.", Jungkook shrugged.
"Oh okay. She kept talking about how she really really liked some guy but wouldn't tell me his name."
"Oh okay. See you later then.", Jungkook turned away from him and walked away leaving a smirking Bambam.
Oh Jungkook..., Bambam thought.
He probably knew more about him than half the people in the school seeing as how Lalisa would always talk about him endlessly.
He just shook his head and continued on his way home.
