SLEEPLESS (complete)

Twenty Nine - Whipped'ency

Lalisa

Ankle strapped - check.

Fringe in order - check.

Outfit on - check.

Make up set - check.

Hug my girlfriend for moral support - needed.

"Jennie!" I call from my make up chair.

"Lalisa!" She yells back.

I find it funny how she elongates the sa in my name. She does this mostly when she's sleepy or hungry or in a clingy mood - pretty much when she's feeling needy in some way.

Now that I think about it, she does this quite a lot...

Though never in front of others. Well, not until now that is. I mean here I am in one room and there she is in another, yelling back in her sweet childish tone for everyone else to hear too.

I'll take this as a level up in our relationship.

Jennie is currently in the waiting room with the others, while I get ready - well, got ready - for my duet with Hanbin.

I've now completed said task of hair, make up and boring warm up excercises, and am now on to the much more exciting objective of finding my distinguishly gorgeous girlfriend.

I spin around in my chair (as I've done so for the last two hours) and shout yet again for Jennie.

"Marco!"

Aside from the subtle laughter from the staff, I get no response.

"I said Marco!"

Still nothing.

"Jennie" I groan like a little kid.

"Jennieeee!"

"Lisaaaa!" She mimicks.

I can picture her now, rolling her eyes and raising her brows.

"Jennie! polo!"

"Jeeee - "

"Polo" She finally gives in - though unenthusiastically.

"Marco"

"Polo"

"Marco" I feel giddy - happy that she's playing along with my childish antic.

"Polo"

"Marco"

"Polo"

"Marco" I say a little more quietly as I enter the waiting room, hovering at the doorway.

It's just her, Chae, Jisoo and some staff at the moment.

"Polo" She grins seeing I've arrived.

I melt.

I feel better already.

Just seeing her gummy smile puts me at ease.

"Hi" I wave to the girls and bow to the staff.

"Lisa! You look so cool!" Jisoo says as she pulls me into a hug. She continues to mutter complements, liking my camouflage pants and tight black crop top.

"Cool? Girl you look sexy!" Rosie joins us.

I peak up from the embrace and see Jennie standing shyly.

I tilt my head wandering what's going on with her.

I squeeze the others one last time and head to Jennie.
