porcelain doll, chapter 16

taehyung arrived home with his dad and went straight to his room after greeting his mom.

the boy opened his bedroom door and saw lisa sitting on his bed with emotionless eyes.

suddenly, taehyung thought, what would happen if lisa wasn't able to move on her own? what if he didn't meet lisa? what would he do?

shaking the thoughts off, he approached the unconscious doll, shaking her shoulders, "lisaaa~" he sang, chuckling after.

lisa's eyes fluttered, blinking before smiling at the boy in front of her, "you're back!" she exclaimed, "soo who's your partner?" she questions, excitement in her eyes.

taehyung's smile faded but was replaced by a small smile after, "it isn't jiminie..." he started, "it's jisoo." he says, sheepishly smiling at the curious doll.

confuse, lisa tilts her head, "who's jisoo?" she questions, curiosity plastered on her ethereal face.

"the girl you saw me walking with a week ago." taehyung explained and lisa nodding after, finally knowing who.

"she's really pretty." lisa says, imagining the beauty's face when she first saw her, "i really like her lips and eyes- no i love everything about her!" the doll exclaimed while taehyung furrowed his eyebrows.

"wait. don't tell me you like her-" taehyung says but was cut off, "no! i don't like her that way, okay? she looks really pretty and looks kinda sweet. the way she looks at you is soo cute and-"

"you're still prettier." taehyung unknowingly blurted, causing the doll to blush madly.

"s-stop. i'm a doll, okay? human beauty is much prettier and-" lisa stuttered, slowly cupping her cheeks as she explained.

taehyung only giggled at the doll's flustered state, "you're so cute lisa~" he says attempting to pinch her cheeks but his fingers met her porcelain face, unable to pinch it.

he tried to hide his frown, oh how he wishes that lisa was a human.

lisa noticed the sudden change of the boy's mood, "what's wrong, tae?" she questions, tilting her head cutely.

taehyung shook his head, "i kinda wish you were a human so we can spend time with each other." he says, smiling at the now blushing doll.

"don't worry tae, i won't leave you." lisa says.

it was silent for a while, a comfortable one.

"sooo i guess i'll have to stay unconscious while she's around?" lisa said, breaking the silence between them.

taehyung shakes his head, "nope. we'll do the project in her house, you can stay conscious as long as you'd like." he says making lisa's doe shaped eyes lit in a matter of seconds.

"really? okay! i really want to read all of your fairy tale stories." the doll excitedly says, clasping her hand as she wore an excited expression.

"of course! you have my permission, you can read them all you want so you won't miss me too much." taehyung cheekily says, wiggling his eyebrows at lisa.

"are you flirting right now? you're still twelve." lisa says, squinting her eyes playfully, eyeing the flirting male.

taehyung playfully rolls his eyes at her, "and you're still eleven. i'm still older than you." he says, sticking his tongue out.

"still! you shouldn't flirt with me, we're kids!" lisa said, throwing her hands up in the air in an exaggerated way while taehyung only cooed at his friend's cuteness.

"you're really cute lisa,

that's why i like you a lot." taehyung mumbles to himself, slightly blushing.
