mad cliché | A Lizkook AU

4.

After 7 (dreadful) long days, the alien red-purplish marks on his left cheek has finally subsided. It wasn't just him who's excited to see it, his parents also commented on the 'miraculous' recovery - praising Jungkook for being disciplined enough to use the heating pad, applying some aloe vera, Vitamin K and Comfrey cream, as well as taking in Vitamin Cs every morning and night - thanks to the internet!

He's been looking forward to the day when he gets to revisit the 'date-in-question' and he swore his chest was at the brink of exploding when Lalisa muttered her short 'yes' at the faculty's parking lot yesterday. It is now 10 in the morning (the time was stupidly suggested by him) and Jungkook's already standing in front of the CU in a light grey tee and slightly faded blue jeans. 

It's the most dark form of attire he has in his wardrobe in order to blend in with his later 'companion'. His mother did a double-take before he left the house earlier and asked him to go back up and change (or at least comb his hair neatly), but he pretended to be deaf.

It's our first date... I can call it a date, right? She asked me out for a drink - it's not tea but it still counts! God, I have so many questions for her! What are her hobbies? What does she normally do on the weekends? What's her life like and...and why does she hate going to the movies? From basics to personals, he lines up the conversation in mind to ensure that he won't mess this up.

After glancing at his watch, he paces along the pavement to get rid of the jitters. He only slept for about 3 hours because he was so excited to meet the morning, but not an ounce of tiredness are felt on his eyes or mind. His ruffled his hair a little and lightly pats on his left cheek. Since he wants to ensure that Lalisa won't call it 'cheating', he dabbed his mother's (borrowed, not stolen) concealer on his face to hide any undesirable effect this morning. 

Jungkook had never gone to such great lengths to impress a girl before. Like his friends said...he never had to put up any acts. But this isn't just any ordinary girl. This is a girl from the south - someone who's completely unknown to the likes of him. She's been cold and bold, unlike anyone he has ever came across with. And she fights like a baddie - I wonder how that kid is doing...

Nothing had prepared him for that sight. He imagined that the girl who stole his eyes and heart at Namjoon's bar 4 weeks ago might be as mysterious as it gets but apparently, she's more than that. On top of the surprise that Lalisa is one of the top students in his batch, he now knows that she can throw an equally hard punches and kicks as well. Is that why she's walking around with so much confidence all the time?

The throttle appears from a far and Jungkook began paying attention. For 200 metres away, the sight of her Ducati emerges bigger by the second until it reaches to his front. Lalisa cuts off the engine and takes off her helmet. Her long, golden hair then fell across both shoulders before she flips them back with a swaying motion. 

Jungkook must have been so immersed with that view because he can't seem to say or do anything. We match...she's wearing grey too - although her jacket seems much cooler than my simple shirt! When she turns to him, a small frown appears underneath those messy bangs.

"Are you a friend of the cold, Jungkook-ssi?" What? "It'll be a one-hour ride...you sure you don't wanna run back and grab a jacket?"

Oh...wait, one hour?? It doesn't seem like an hour when she dropped me here yesterday - "Where um...where are we going...if you don't mind me asking?"

"Drinking," She clips her smile. "In Seojjog,"

Seojjog?? That's just outside of Soul - why are we going all the way there?

"You can change your mind. I won't bite,"

"No!!" It's almost a shout. "I don't mind the cold, I mean!"
