Everyone let out a relieved breath when the last camera was finally turned off.

"Finally," Hobi plopped down on the couch, closing his eyes in bliss. "Five entire days of freedom."

"That's still not enough," Lisa sat next to Chaeyoung, the bags under her eyes visible on her now-bare face. It had been a tiring week.

"Lis, you and Jungkook need to get your shit together," Rosie whispered to her friend. 

"What shit? We don't have any shit. In fact, we have-"

"Shut up," Rosie hissed. "You know what I'm talking about. You're not even getting any sleep, I can hear you muttering to yourself when you think nobody's listening."

Lisa looked away.

"Lili, come on. This isn't healthy. Whatever it is, maybe it's just a misunderstanding."

"Yeah, right," Lisa scoffed. Chaeyoung gave her The Look and Lisa sighed.

"Alright."

"We're gonna be alright," Chaeyoung hummed to the familiar tune before closing her eyes and laying down next to Hobi. Yoongi followed, then Jin piled on top of them.

"If you keep this going, you'll fall off," Jimin remarked, but joined in anyway. Jisoo shrugged and snuggled in to form a human pile on the couch. Namjoon, Jennie and Taehyung walked off to their respective rooms. Lisa and Jungkook remained. They stared awkwardly at each other. Lisa coughed.

"Um...do you want to get something to eat?"

Jungkook stared at her piercingly for a few moments. Lisa fidgeted.

"Fine." 

He walked off without looking at her. She followed, nearly tripping over her own two feet. They arrived at the kitchen and he began heating up ramen. Lisa watched Jungkook carefully as he cooked. It felt strange, to be honest. A few weeks before they would have been bickering back and forth like children. But now...she didn't know what to say. It was like starting everything over again.

He placed a bowl of hot ramen in front of her with some chopsticks and began to slurp his own without a single word. Lisa swirled her chopsticks around the hot soup. The silence was painful.

We can't stay like this forever.

"Jungkook."

He looked up, raised an eyebrow, and looked back down at his soup.

"You got something to say?"

Lisa watched him. She had forgotten how cold he had been when they first met.

"Listen, I'm sorry for the way I've treated you," she began. "But even though I can't stay mad at you forever, I still feel like you deserved it."

"What did I do? "Jungkook scoffed.

"Stop pretending."

"I'm not the one faking."

"I- you- you cheated!"

"On what?"

Lisa nearly facepalmed.

"On her, on Ji-eun sunbaenim."

Jungkook scanned her carefully.

"Did you hit your head somewhere? Or are you high on drugs?"

Lisa spluttered through her mouthful of ramen.

"Excuse me?"

"Then how'd you come up with that one?"

"You....you had been cheating on her with me. I overheard you two, you literally-"
