Lisa's POV

"So it was you..." I whispered before finally putting down my phone on the flat surface, my bad leaning on the glassed wall as I wait for my students to come back after sending them for quite a long break so I can watch VOELEVARD's V-live. I had a feeling it might be him because he was the one who sent a message to Samantha unnie before but I don't know. Somehow, there is a weird feeling inside me that I can't seem to point out.

Contrary to what I promised, I didn't leave a comment so he'd see I was watching. I'm not sure why but somehow, I feel like I wasn't ready to tell him that I finally know who he was.

Was I disappointed? I don't know.

Was I expecting someone else? I'm not sure.

But when I was watching, I keep thinking about how it shouldn't be him.

Not that I don't like him but I feel like I wasn't really as comfortable as when we chat on i********:.

I just...

I just don't get the feeling.

I don't feel quite comfortable.

And I'm not sure I like it.

A long sigh escaped my lips.

What is this I'm feeling? I should be thankful I found someone like him.

He had been nothing but a sweetheart and here I am not being happy after finding out who he was. Sure he is handsome, well-built and yeah, charming, but I just...

I bite my lower lip in frustration.

Why?

Why am I feeling like this?

Why does it feel like he wasn't the same person?

Just when I decided to go show myself to him, why am I having second thoughts?

My hands reached for my phone and dialed Samantha unnie's number.

I waited.

First ring...

Second...

And when she picked up, "Unnie..."

I have decided.

"I'm coming in three days. See you..." I whispered.

I'm going to meet Jeon Jake. Maybe then, maybe when I see him in person, this weird feeling will go away.

Even after the day of my flight came, I am still reluctant and not excited about it.

I pulled my jumper a little, fixing the hem as I walk nervously.

Jake didn't know I am coming. The last time we were chatting, I told him I will be away for a vacation and I'm surprised he didn't ask me where.

A huge smile showed on my face as I slowly reached the Arrival area. Samantha unnie told me beforehand that Rosie will also be arriving and since I haven't seen the girl for like ages, I was more than excited.

I guess this trip is really worth it.

After filing an indefinite leave on my job and telling Samantha unnie about it, I book a flight to Korea in instant.

A lot of people were excitedly rushing before me and my eyes went wide when I reached the end and saw the two.

Samantha unnie and Rosie were smiling as their eyes scanned the people going out, probably searching for me.

"Unnies!!!!" I can't help it, I squealed so loud a few of the passengers raised their eyebrows while looking at me.

I shrugged my shoulders in embarrassment.

I'm excited, okay.

"Lisa!!!" Rosie whisper-shouted excitedly as both her and Samantha unnie run towards me for a hug.

In no time, we were jumping up and down as the three of us hug each other. It took us a whole five minutes before we can calm down.

"Lisa, you got taller!" Rosie nudged me by the shoulder and I just rolled my eyes at her.

Rosie and I are of the same age and maybe because of that, we banter a lot when we were still living in the same house. Even so, I know we still have each other's backs.

I know that no matter how many fights we have, I love her and she loves me the same.

I eyed at her wearily, noticing the glow emitting on her face.

"You got prettier. Do you have a boyfriend?" I raised my eyebrow at her and I noticed how her cheeks turned red, Samantha unnie's faint laughter can be heard behind us.

We were just waiting for the car to arrive.

Once it arrives and our luggage was already loaded at the back, the three of us ended up talking non-stop while on our way to God knows where.

"Jessie is such a sweetheart. The two of you will surely love her," Samantha unnie excitedly told us and both Rosie and me smiled.

The girl had been talking about her other friend nonstop and I feel like I already know her by heart.

"By the way, I'm sure the boys already knew you're here Chaeng. I don't even know why but their fans always tag my photos to their account as if I'd be missing any minute," Samantha unnie stated and I chuckled. I know she and Josh oppa were in a relationship so it doesn't surprise me one bit.

"Oh right, I heard you stayed with them on their tour bus. How was it?" I asked a little too excitedly. Jake once told me about it but we never really talk about it into more details.

It has been three days but finally calling the person I usually chat with having a name still doesn't sit with me.

She looked surprised at my question but the car halted in front of what seemed like a hotel or apartment building, and we all hop down the car before following Samantha unnie as she headed straight to the elevator.

While inside the elevator, I fiddled with my hands in nervousness.

Jake will be shocked, wouldn't he?

Just then, Rosie turned to my direction, confusion masking her face.

"Hey, Lisa, how did you know I stayed with them?" she asked confused, the sound of the elevator opening can be heard.
