_______________
Lisa woke up to a clinging koala on top of her and couldn't be more content. Jennie was literally on top of her and if she didn't weigh less than two pounds like she did she would probably crush her. Lisa started stroking her naked back and Jennie stirred.
"Hmm, that's nice. You're my pillow and my massage." Jennie said sleepily.
Lisa kissed her on top of her head. She was going to roll them over, she wanted to bring Jennie breakfast in bed but Jennie squeezed her neck and almost choked her.
"I didn't tell you that you could move yet. Who said you could move?" Jennie asked grumpily.
"I was going to bring you breakfast."
"I don't need breakfast. I need cuddles."
Lisa smirked. "I do."
She flipped them around and Jennie whined.
"Noooo. Don't leave yet." She pouted, still clinging to Lisa's neck.
Lisa kissed her slowly, moving down Jennie's jawline and into her neck, taking an earlobe in.
"You're just trying to distract me with kisses." Jennie said as Lisa pulled back.
"Is it working?"
"No."
"What about now?" Lisa asked as she moved down further, kissing between the valley of Jennie's breasts and leaving open mouthed kisses on her soft toned abdomen, then her hipbones.
"Maybe." Jennie said a little breathlessly.
"And now?" Lisa asked, kissing the inside of Jennie's thighs before breathing on her center to tease her. Then placing a light kiss there.
Jennie's eyes darkened and Lisa waited until Jennie was watching to lick her fully.
"Yes." Jennie moaned.
"I told you, I needed breakfast." Lisa said as she worked Jennie up.
_____________
"Why do you guys look like you're still in the honeymoon stage." Jisoo asked them as soon as they walked in to the living room, hands linked and staring at each other goofily.
"You're still on your honeymoon stage and its been years already." Jennie pointed out, not even bothering to look at Jisoo as she responded. Lisa picked Jennie up to give her a kiss and Jennie squealed and giggled, kicking her feet out.
Jisoo made a face at them and then looked at her girlfriend. "Why are they like this?"
Chaeyoung smiled and answered vaguely, "Something special happened yesterday."
"What? They banged?" Jisoo said dryly. "I'm still scarred."
"No, we made it official." Jennie answered, still grinning, hands still locked with Lisa's as they sat down on the couch. The one they were intimate on yesterday because Jisoo was avoiding it like the plague and was sitting in the smaller one with Chaeyoung's head on her lap.
"Made what official?" Jisoo asked confused.
"Our relationship." Lisa added, grinning just as hard.
"We're girlfriends now." Jennie said giggling and Lisa had to give her a peck on the lips.
"We been knew! For months." Jisoo said frustrated. "You do it all over the house apparently! I need to bring the cleaners to disinfect the place."
"Oh that was actually fake." Jennie said.
"You were literally naked Jendeukie." Jisoo deadpanned. "I caught you red-handed. You're telling me you stripped just to cuddle?" Jisoo said sarcastically.
"No not the sex. That was definitely real. So real." Lisa smirked and Jisoo threw a pillow at her face. "Ow. We meant the relationship was fake. Well, fake-real." Lisa continued.
"Yeah. Fake-real." Jennie added.
"What the hell does that even mean?" Jisoo asked getting even more confused.
"We were pretending to date, we were fake dating but now its real because we realized we actually liked each other so Lisa asked me to be her real girlfriend last night."
"Excuse me? You were faking it?" Jisoo asked incredulously who looked to her girlfriend on her lap. Chaeyoung nodded frantically in confirmation.
"So I was right!" Jisoo said. "I knew you two couldn't possibly be dating! You were freaking me out!"
"Well sort of right. We still liked each other, we just couldn't admit it." Jennie pointed out.
"Yeah, we always have but we pretended to hate each other. At least I did." Lisa said.
"My head hurts. Why can't I have normal friends?" Jisoo said, putting her face in her hands again. "This really is like the twilight zone with you two."
"What are you guys up to today?" Chaeyoung asked, rubbing Jisoo's thighs soothingly to comfort her as Jisoo took the new information in.
"I thought we where going on our annual What's Better Expensive food or Cheap food BFF Tour?" Lisa asked, pouting a bit. She was always excited for this. They always saved up for it.
Lisa had come up with it as penance when she tried to leave for Thailand without telling Rosie. Rosie had been so disappointed in her that she wouldn't really talk to Lisa for days and when she did she looked like a sad chipmunk and Lisa hated it so she had come up with as a best friend date for Rosie and her to go to as an apology. They'd been doing it every year. It was tradition.
"Well I just thought since you guys just got together and you're leaving her soon you'd want to spend the day together." Chaeyoung said.
"I'm leaving you too though." Lisa said sadly before sending a quick look to Jennie to see if she was offended or something but Jennie just reached out and squeezed her arm reassuringly. Jennie knew how important Chaeyoung was to Lisa. She was family. "Besides, I was thinking maybe we can make it like a double date and Jennie and Jisoo can come with us?" Lisa asked hopefully.
"I want to take you on a real date too." Lisa added hastily, "I just need time to plan because I want it to be perfect. If you want to I mean. Go on a date with me?" Lisa finished nervously.
Jennie gave her a gummy smile in response and kissed her. "What do you think, idiot?"
Lisa grinned and pecked her on the lips again.
"So? Double date?" Lisa asked, looking between all of them.
Chaeyoung bounced in her seat up and down excitedly and laughing. She always looked forward to this day too, it was like her favorite holidayâand yes, to her it was a national holiday. She had been quite sad they weren't going to get to go but she wanted her best friend to have time with her girlfriend so she decided to let Jennie have Lisa for the day. She didn't expect this.
"There's no way I'm going because you two will just keep that up and at this rate I'll throw up my food." Jisoo said because Jennie and Lisa were already flirting. Jennie was playing with Lisa's hand and Lisa kept leaning in to whisper in her ear and making her giggle as she talked about their future date.
Chaeyoung pouted at Jisoo after that response.
"What are you two waiting for! Let's go!" Jisoo said, getting up immediately because of the disappointment in her girlfriends face, completely changing her mind. She grabbed Chaeyoung's hand to pick her up so they could get ready.
____________
"You guys said tour? How are we doing this without our stomachs exploding? I'm no Rosie Posie, as much as I wish I could eat like her and not get fat." Jennie asked from the passengers side of her Audi while Lisa, as usual, drove it. Their friends were in the back seat.
"Chaengie, give them the low down." Lisa said.
"Okay!" Rosie clapped. "So the trick is to do the expensive food first because they usually give you super small portions and then we go to the cheaper places. We'll do three rounds, breakfast, lunch, and dinner and we usually goof around in between rounds and do something where Lisa can walk the food off since she can't keep up with me."
"Because you're a bottomless pit!" Lisa complained.
"Anyway, the most important part is no Korean food, or Thai food. Since we have that all the time and I want to try all the food in the world so we always do different dishes every year." Chaeyoung said.
"So we're supposed to eat two meals per round?" Jennie freaked out. "That's like six different meals in one day!"
"Well now that you're here we can just split our portions." Lisa said, holding her right hand out for Jennie to take. Knowing how much of a health freak Jennie was. Jennie looked at her gratefully and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I have to watch what I eat or my face puffs up." Jennie pouted. "Have you seen my cheeks?"
"You look like a cute mandu though." Lisa said honestly and she missed Jennie's blush considering she was watching the road.
"I'm not a mandu." Jennie grumbled, though she kind of liked Lisa giving her nicknames.
"I'm not sharing with you." Chaeyoung told Jisoo seriously who snorted. As if she didn't know that already.
"I'll share my leftovers with you babe." Jisoo said and Chaeyoung beamed, giving her a kiss.
"Oh also, we have a little bet going." Chaeyoung added.
"Not the beeeeet." Lisa grumbled. She always lost.
"We always give points out of ten for each meal and then we would guess each others pick for which side was better in each round, but now that there's four of us I guess we can just give points to each meal as we go and we all just pick now which side is going to win in the end. It's harder to cheat with four people."
"So we pick if we all liked the expensive food more or the cheap food more?"
"Yep."
"What happens when Lisa loses the bet?" Jisoo cackled.
"Shut up. There could technically be more than one loser now." Lisa grumbled.
"So what happens when Lisa loses the bet?" Jisoo asked again, smirking.
"She has to buy each of us something we want. If she doesn't want to pay for it then she has to do something you want."
"Oh I'm already getting ideas!" Jisoo said cackling.
Lisa groaned. "I shouldn't have brought you."
"But then I wouldn't have come." Jennie pouted.
"You're right never mind, totally worth it. Even if she makes me streak down Hongdae."
Jennie turned to glare at Jisoo after that.
"You better not make my woman get naked in front of anybody Jisoo or ill steal your switch! No one is allowed to look at her."
"What? I didn't even say anything! That was all Limario!" Jisoo said indignantly.
"I'm watching you." Jennie glared again before going back to playing with Lisa's fingers.
"Psychotic that one." Jisoo said, shaking her head.
"Where are we going first?" Jennie asked Lisa.
"Oh, Chaengie's got the whole tour planned out. This is like her national holiday so she spends weeks finding places and picking out the food we'll eat so it's fair."
"We're here!" Chaeyoung clapped excitedly as Lisa pulled into a fancy restaurant and gave the keys to the valet.
"This is the first time I haven't gotten mean mugged at one of these places for the car I was driving." Lisa giggled. "Thanks baby, I feel like a vip."
Jennie usually hated that stuff but seeing Lisa's excitement made her excited too.
"Wait shouldn't we vote first?" Lisa asked.
"Text your guess to yourself on your phones, whether you think we'll pick cheap or expensive and then when it's over we'll check who won." Chaeyoung agreed.
______
Chaeyoung made a reservation so they were seated in a corner table with a view. They all got looks because they were dressed so casually but yet they were seated in such a prime seat.
"That's my favorite part, making the rich old grumpy people squirm because I'm wearing joggers and tainting the place." Lisa giggled.
The server put their food on the table as soon as they were seated. Chaeyoung took the food tour very seriously after all, so she had the timing on lock.
"Frittata with lobster claw, topped with caviar, and caviar butter with crème fraiche served on canapés, as requested Miss Park."
Chaeyoung squealed in response.
"Thank you, thank you! Can we please get one extra serving." Chaeyoung asked the waiter since they had extra people now, without looking at him, she was too busy admiring the food in front of her.
"Of course. As you wish." He bowed and left them to it.
"Damn, even my mother has never been served that quick." Jisoo said impressed.
"I'm telling you, this is Chipmunk's national holiday. She plans for months and usually we pay ahead." Lisa said seriously.
"Dig in!" Chaeyoung said unnecessarily because she was already eating and making excited sounds as she ate.
"Have you guys had this before?" Lisa asked the other two. She was glad they came, not just because she wanted to spend time with her official girlfriend, but also because usually when it was just her and Chaeyoung it was quiet except for the sounds of Lisa laughing at Chaeyoung for making food orgasm noises that attracted the attention of the prissy patrons and her exclaiming how good everything was.
"I've never tried caviar." Jennie said honestly.
"Really?" Lisa asked.
Jisoo made a face at the little fish eggs. "Me neither."
She tried to scrape hers off but Chaeyoung stopped her.
"That's against the rules, you have to try everything at least once or it won't be a fair score."
"Do I have to?" Jisoo whined.
"Them's the rules." Lisa said grinning, enjoying herself now.
Jisoo dramatically brought up the frittata topped with caviar and shoved it in her mouth and chewed. She immediately made a disgusted face.
"Now swallow." Lisa said entirely too mockingly.
Jisoo gulped, looking like a toddler who was just made to drink nasty tasting cough syrup.
Jisoo grabbed a napkin and rubbed her tongue with it immediately afterwards.
"I can't believe people pay hundreds of dollars for that." Jisoo said, shaking her head in disgust.
"I think it's safe to say Jisoo won't be giving a high score to the expensive food this round." Jennie giggled.
Jennie and Lisa fed each other from their shared plate. Jisoo left most of her food untouched once she was forced to try everything so Chaeyoung finished it for her when she was done with her own.
"That was so good." Chaeyoung said seriously. "Okay! Cast your scores for this meal, text them to yourselves. Out of a scale of ten."
Jisoo immediately typed in a big fat zero.
Lisa left a hundred dollar bill as a tip and Jennie looked at her perplexed.
"National Holiday babe. We plan for months."
Jennie took the bill and gave it back to Lisa and put her own bill down.
They started fighting over it.
"You guys already paid, it's only fair we tip!" Jennie argued.
"We invited you guys! It's our date! We're supposed to pay." Lisa protested.
They were too wrapped up in their fight to have noticed Jisoo had already tipped the waiter.
"Next stop!" Chaeyoung said.
"We haven't tipped yet."
"Jisoo already did."
__________
This time they rode to a tiny little hole in the wall family owned Mexican restaurant.
As usual, they were served immediately.
This time the lady serving them brought them a huge pan of whatever Chaeyoung had in mind for them.
"What's this?" Jennie asked fearfully, because all of it was red and red meant spicy and she was not a fan of spicy.
"Chilaquiles!" Chaeyoung exclaimed. "It's just like, corn tortillas with red ancho chile salsa and lots of cheese and they put fried eggs on top. Sounds super simple but I bet it's so good."
"You think everything is good!" Lisa said. "The game is usually hard because she gives a 10 for every single dish except the one she likes the least so I have to guess which one it is."
"I love food!" Chaeyoung said defensively.
"Usually I think she just guesses at random because she can't pick." Lisa said suspiciously, narrowing her eyes at her best friend.
"I love food." Chaeyoung said sheepishly that time because Lisa caught her, that's exactly what she did.
"I knew it." Lisa said, accusingly. "No wonder I always lose."
"It's spicy?" Jennie made a face.
"You gotta eat it Jendeuk! They made me do it. Suffer with me!" Jisoo pointed at her menacingly.
Jennie pouted at Lisa. "Do I have to?" She used her baby voice and almost smirked as Lisa immediately reacted. Jennie hadn't ever used it on her before, she didn't know if it would work or not. People either loved it or hated it. It seemed Lisa was with the former. Very much with the former because if heart eyes were real Lisa would have big ones stamped over her eyes right now.
Just when Lisa thought Jennie couldn't get any cuter. She usually hated Aegyo but Jennie's Aegyo was something else, she was about to beg her best friend to just let Jennie skip this round but when she looked at her Chaeyoung had her arms crossed at Lisa, frowning.
Uh oh.
Lisa turned from a pouting Jennie to a disappointed looking Chaeyoung and she didn't know what to do. She panicked.
"Chaengie maybe she canâ" Lisa started but shut up when Chaeyoung glared.
"This is our sacred tradition and you're really going to break the rules for your new girlfriend that you've been together with for a whole day?" Chaeyoung answered coldly.
Lisa turned to Jennie nervously.
"Baby? Just try a little bite maybeâ" Lisa stopped again when Jennie pouted harder and huffed crossing her arms and looking away from Lisa.
"I thought you would take my side but I guess I'm not that important to you after all." Jennie said in a cold tone too.
Lisa looked to Jisoo for help who just shook her head. "Nope. Nope. You're not dragging me into this. I'm not pissing of my chipmunk and my baby cousin has a temper, she'll set my bed on fire."
"Guys. I can't pick!" Lisa blurted out. Shit. "Wait, that's not what I meant! That's not what I meant!" Lisa tried to backtrack.
"You can't pick?!" Chaeyoung and Jennie both said in unison, angrily.
"Really Lisa?" Jennie glared. "You really are an idiot. I guess you don't want a girlfriend. You really can't commit can you."
"We've known each other our whole lives and you can't pick? Wow Lis. I thought I was more important than a day old relationship."
"No! Guys waitâI just don't know what to do! I love you both so much!" Lisa said, not realizing she admitted to loving Jennie. "I don't know what to do, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings!"
Chaeyoung smiled a bit when she heard the slip but trained her face to start scowling again. Jennie noticed the slip too and her heart started beating really fast and she had to fight a blush.
Lisa spiraled, slapping her face with both hands in a panic. How could she pick who to defend between her best friend for life, her platonic soulmate and her girlfriend who she had really, really strong feelings for. Like, probably love feelings.
Jennie snorted, breaking character when she saw it because Lisa literally looked like Kevin from Home Alone and Rosie started laughing with her. Jisoo joined in right after, she had always been the best at poker faces so she was the last one to break character.
Soon they were all cackling and Lisa was left confused.
"What just happened?" Lisa asked as she looked between all of them who were laughing hysterically.
"You were left out of the group chat." Jisoo said when she recovered enough.
"Were you guys playing me just now?" Lisa frowned, the panic dying down a bit.
"Sorry Lis, we had to. You should have seen your face." Jennie said, kissing her frown away.
"Seriously, I think she was five seconds from thinking you were going to break up with her if you didn't take her side." Chaeyoung giggled.
"I did! I was thinking that! And I thought you would disown me!" Lisa said indignantly looking to Chaeyoung. "You guys are cruel." Lisa pouted.
Jennie grabbed her face and kissed her slowly and Lisa forgot to be upset.
Jisoo realized maybe she shouldn't have suggested that they prank her because now she had to witness the result, Jennie apologizing and babying Lisa. Disgusting.
Jennie finally tried the chilaquiles once the commotion died down, though she did pout a bit and very slowly and very dramatically raised the fork to her mouth before finally taking a bite. She hadn't been lying about generally not liking spicy food but Lisa was really important to her and so was Chaeyoung and this was their thing so Jennie forced herself to try it for their sakes because they had invited them to their best friend thing and Jennie was so not going to ruin it by being a snob.
She chewed as fast as she could so she could swallow, her eyes closed and ready to down the milk in front of her because she was so sure it would burn but then she opened her eyes in surprise.
"Oh. Wait, this is good." Jennie said. It was spicy, but it tasted so good that Jennie could bear it despite it being way over her normal level of comfortable spiciness. She downed two glasses of milk the whole time but surprisingly ate vigorously, way more than she had expected she would try.
"So good." Chaeyoung mumbled as she ate.
Jennie and Lisa fought over the tip once they cleaned out the entire thing so Jisoo beat them to it. Again.
The restaurant owner was so surprised at the big tip she got that she thought Jisoo might be famous and asked to take a picture with her.
She told Jisoo she was so beautiful in broken Korean multiple times before asking them to come back. She had one of her cooks even pack up some extra servings for them to take and Chaeyoung was so happy she hugged the lady.
"How much did you tip her?" Lisa asked.
"The same as the other restaurant. It's only fair, they did the same work. Just because the other one is considered upscale doesn't mean shit." Jisoo said.
"Nice." Lisa said, "We do that too. Then we're broke for months." She giggled.
"That was really good but I'm so full." Jennie said, grabbing Lisa's arm and leaning her head on her shoulder.
Lisa loved how clingy Jennie was with her now. Lisa used to be the one that had to initiate contact before during their fake relationship but now Jennie tended to lean into her and Lisa loved that a little too much.
"What should we do?" Chaeyoung asked. Usually Lisa was the one that spontaneously thought about their in between activities.
"Let's go kayaking!" Lisa said.
Everyone except Jisoo, who decided to rent an inflatable floaty boat instead, rented a kayak.
Lisa was already a pro, she came here all the time.
Rosie, being adventurous as she was got one of the standing up kayaks and was really good at it. She kept her balance and stood up on it and rowed gracefullyâup until Jisoo would make her laugh as she followed her on her inflatable boat making random sounds on purpose, so Rosie kept laughing at her girlfriend's silliness and falling into the water.
Then Jisoo would splash dramatically with her arms out of the floaty boat to go rescue her girlfriend and it only made Chaeyoung laugh harder.
"Lisa." Jennie whined.
Lisa stopped rowing and turned around quickly.
"Wait for me!" Jennie pouted. "Your arms are longer than mine."
She rowed back to Jennie and parked her kayak beside her.
"Hey gorgeous." Lisa winked. "Need someone to rescue you, because I can. My name is Lisa."
Jennie rolled her eyes at her but played along.
"Jennie."
"Want to go on a date with me Jennie?"
"I heard you already have a girlfriend."
"What girlfriend? I'm single. I only have eyes for you."
Jennie glared at her. "Wrong answer."
Jennie giggled as she shoved Lisa off the Kayak and she fell into the water.
"What was the right answer?" Lisa asked when she came back up.
"You tell me that you're married and loyal!" Jennie said as she helped her back up into the kayak.
"Okay, lets do it again." Lisa said, determined. "Hey, I'm Lisa, do you want to go somewhere with me?"
"Don't you have a girlfriend?" Jennie said, crossing her arms and raising her eyebrows.
"I have a wife and I'm super loyal actually."
"You asked me out and you're married! Shameless!" Jennie giggled as she pushed her off again.
"It was a friend date!" Lisa said laughing as she bobbed in the water.
"Come here." Jennie said and Lisa swam to her. Jennie leaned over and kissed her. "Sorry baby. Couldn't resist."
"Hmm. Baby. I like when you call me that." Lisa said, arms resting over Jennie's kayak.
"You're still my idiot first though and if anybody ever hits on you while you're traveling you tell them you've been married for ten years, got it Manoban!" Jennie threatened.
"I think I could really get used to this side of you, it's really hot." Lisa grinned.
"I'm not trying to be hot I'm trying to be threatening." Jennie frowned.
"I told you, you look like a cute angry kitten when you do that."
"Stop it. I'm not adorable, I'm scary." Jennie said adamantly.
Lisa suddenly got a mischievous smile on her face that Jennie didn't like.
"Lisa, what are you doing?"
Lisa grinned wider and started tipping Jennie's kayak.
"Don't you dare Lisa!"
Lisa slowly started tipping it more as Jennie gripped the sides.
"I won't give you kisses!" Jennie shrieked but it was too late and she fell in the water.
She felt arms circle her a second later, giggling into her ear. Lisa's breath gave her goosebumps but she was so not going to give in. She started hitting her.
"Idiot! No more kisses for you."
Lisa didn't listen, kissing Jennie's neck and Jennie was so glad it was shallow and her feet touched the ground because she would have probably stopped swimming and drowned.
"Lisa." Jennie warned.
"I'll stop if you promise I get kisses later."
"No." Jennie said, "I'm mad at you. You got my hair wet in dirty river water."
Lisa's hands started roaming over her body under the water and Jennie felt hot suddenly.
"Please." Lisa begged.
"No, you're going to have to make it up to me." Jennie managed out.
"How? Baby brat." Lisa asked as she touched that spot on Jennie under the water and Jennie involuntarily moaned.
"Okay okay, you can have kisses." Jennie said hastily, because she was super turned on. She had to stop before she begged Lisa to go all the way with her in public.
"Are you two fucking again! There are children here!" Jisoo shouted when she saw Jennie and Lisa practically glued together and Lisa kissing Jennie's neck.
There weren't children, not in the particular place they were but they were still in a very public place despite the fact you couldn't see underwater.
Lisa seemed unfazed. She kissed Jennie slowly, still cupping her and pretending to slide a hand under her shorts before swimming away with a grin on her face, leaving a very flustered Jennie behind.
"You're paying for that." Jennie said glaring and Lisa just giggled.
They were all too wetâJennie for entirely different reasonsâto go to the next restaurant yet so they went back home to take a quick shower and continue their food tour.
"Dibs." Jennie said to Lisa who shrugged and sat on the floor so she wouldn't get Jennie's bed wet and started scrolling through her phone.
She heard wet clothes drop and looked up abruptly. Jennie had her back to her and was slowly getting undressed in front of her.
Deliberately slowly and Lisa's mouth watered.
When she was completely naked she turned to look at Lisa over her shoulder and winked and Lisa thought it was the hottest thing because Jennie's hair was still wet and her skin was still glistening with water and she couldn't see everything but she wanted to and basically Jennie just looked like a very enticing poster she would find in one of those magazines, but a thousand times better.
"You can join me if you want." Jennie said in a raspy voice before completely changing character and giggling cutely, running into her en suite bathroom.
Lisa was left dazed, blinking twice because she never understood how Jennie could go from devastatingly sexy to devastatingly adorable within seconds, then she came to her senses and jumped up, running to the bathroom.
Only to find that the door was locked.
"Baby brat." Lisa whined. She heard the shower turn on.
"That's what you get for teasing me at the river!" Jennie shouted.
Fuck.
"I deserve that." Lisa grumbled, sitting back down but the whole time during Jennie's shower all she could think about was a naked Jennie. Then her girl had the audacity to come out wet in just a towel.
"Sorry, forgot clothes." Jennie said, not looking sorry at all. She was clearly absolutely trying to tease the fuck out of Lisa. And it was working.
Lisa couldn't take it, she grabbed Jennie who squealed and then threw her on the bed, completely ready to do everything she was thinking about doing to Jennie while she was in the shower.
She started kissing Jennie, trying to undo the towel as she trailed the kisses down and Jennie breathlessly reminded her that they couldn't because they would be late to Chaeyoung's reservations that she had worked so hard to make and reschedule.
Lisa groaned. "You're going to be the death of me."
"You started it." Jennie said smugly.
Lisa gave her a devious smile and Jennie immediately dropped her smug look.
"I'll make sure to finish it." Lisa winked.
Jennie was pretty sure they just started another war. First the feeding one, now they were down to teasing.
"What are we having next?" Jennie asked once they were in the car.
"Brazilian steak house! They walk around with different skewers of all types of meat and you can eat however much you want, they slice the meat into your plate. The meat is so tender they just do it from the air, its so cool!" Chaeyoung said. "It's like a buffet for the rich."
"You truly are a bottomless pit." Jennie said fondly.
Chaeyoung stopped every single server and tried every piece of meat three times over.
"Ooooh can I try the filet mignon, and the garlic picanha, oh, and that one! Whatever that one is!" Chaeyoung pointed to another server. "You know what, if you pass by me just give me a slice. That's more efficient."
Jisoo watched her fondly, barely picking at her own food. Her girlfriend was so cute when she ate. Her chipmunk cheeks and her excitement made her look all kinds of adorable. Not to mention she would compliment everything and since it was a buffet this time she kept feeding Jisoo after every bite she took telling her to try it because it was so good.
"Do we have to try them all this time?" Jennie said, already full after her fourth serving.
"Nah, this one's an exception. She always finds at least one all you can eat place so those rules don't apply." Lisa reassured her.
"Okay good, cus I'm stuffed." Jennie said leaning back in her chair dramatically, pretending to be dead.
"We still have the street food to get to this round." Lisa said amused.
"I'll die Lisa." Jennie pouted.
"Wanna know a secret? How you can get through this?" Lisa leaned in conspiratorially.
"Yes please! I can't anymore." Jennie grumbled.
Lisa leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"You can go work out with me in the bathroom. I can help you burn some calories." Lisa said suggestively, making sure to let her breath hit Jennie's neck.
Jennie would have thought that was the most fuck boy line ever, except that it was coming from Lisa in that low sexy tone voice she uses on Jennie when they're being intimate and Jennie had to cross her legs, squirming in her seat as the heat shot straight down like it always did when she heard that voice.
Lisa clearly noticed because she started chuckling.
"Shut up." Jennie glared.
Lisa actually got up to go to the restroom five minutes later and Jennie saw her opportunity.
"It's on Manoban." She glared at her back.
Jennie followed her and before Lisa even noticed her she shoved Lisa into a stall. Shoving her roughly into the left wall of the stall and locking the door. Lisa was so startled she almost shoved Jennie off until she noticed it was her girlfriend and not some random stranger.
Jennie got up on her tiptoes to kiss Lisa lightly. She cupped Lisa's center too, just like Lisa had at the river and murmured into Lisa's lips very seductively, if you were to ask Lisa.
"You want me to go down on you?" Jennie rasped, moving her hand to play with the waistband of Lisa's joggers. Tracing Lisa's abdomen with the finger she hooked inside Lisa's waistband left and right, slowly.
Lisa nodded frantically.
"Thought so. Just checking." Jennie smiled adorably like she hadn't just said what she said while she popped the waistband on Lisa's joggers. "I was just making sure my girlfriend still wanted me."
Jennie unlocked the door and left Lisa in the bathroom reeling.
"Goddamnit she's so sexy." Lisa almost dragged her back in.

"Where to next?"
Chaeyoung had a devious smile on her face.
"Uh oh." Lisa said, "It's that time?"
"It's that time." Chaeyoung said nodding.
"What time?" Jennie asked, panicking a bit.
"She always picks at least one food that might be a little adventurous." Lisa answered Jennie.
"How adventurous?" Jisoo panicked, she was a very picky eater, hence, the caviar incident.
"Let's see last year we had crickets, those weren't so bad as long as you use lemon and salt. We've had jellied eelâwhich was awful. I threw up after that one because I hate eel, especially the one with whatever that jelly was on it. We've eaten frog legsâthose just taste like fishy chicken to me. Durian, which is actually really good it just smells really bad. Blood sausageâ" Lisa continued. "Balut, that one's an egg with a baby duck that you eatâ"
"Okay you can stop right there." Jisoo said, already grossed out. "Is it too late to quit chipmunk?"
"It was good!" Lisa reassured her. "You just got to close your eyes and pretend it's not a baby duck, once you get past that its fine."
Chaeyoung agreed. "All of them were good."
"I literally cannot eat half of that." Jisoo said. Jennie sort of agreed.
"It's a little tame this year, at least I think so. I'll give you a choice. The lady from the Mexican restaurant helped me find this place so it's Mexican too." Chaeyoung said.
"What is it?" Jisoo asked fearfully.
"Temblorososâwhich is pig skin that they boil in a tub right in front of you and they pick out the most tender ones before they overcook. You put lemon and salt on top, they're called that because the skin shakes since they stop cooking it before the skin hardens and they turn into pork rinds, the lady told me. It's like the equivalent of rare steak." Chaeyoung giggled. "Or Tripas, which is pig intestines that get cleaned and then grilled." Chaeyoung answered happily. "They do all of it outside just like they would in Mexico."
"Get me out of this car." Jisoo said.
"Please this one is cake!" Lisa said as she parked. "You don't even know half the things she's made me eat."
Jennie for once was feeling adventurous so she tried both. If Chaeyoung hadn't told her that tripas were made of literal pig intestines she wouldn't have even been grossed out because they were really good but after she tried them she kind of forgot. Lisa really liked the temblorosos because they jiggled and she kept jiggling them in Jennie's face before eating them.
Jisoo eyed them both suspiciously when Chaeyoung brought their order. They were outside on some tables the food truck had set out.
"Just one bite baby." Chaeyoung said.
Jisoo shook her head. "No. Never."
"I'll do the thing." Chaeyoung whispered into Jisoo's ear suggestively.
"That's a low blow." Jisoo said. "You know I can't resist the thing." Though she was a little excited because they hadn't done the thing in a while.
"Just one bite!" Chaeyoung bounced up and down the balls of her feet excitedly. "You'll love it."
Jisoo tried the tembloroso first and spit it out.
"You didn't even try it!" Chaeyoung pouted.
"The texture! It's all bouncy and squishy!" Jisoo said frowning.
Chaeyoung rolled her eyes. "Okay the other one then."
"What's this again?" Jisoo asked, eyeing it dubiously.
"Just try and take a bite before I tell you or you won't."
"I don't want to."
Chaeyoung kissed her.
"Fine." Jisoo grumbled. Jisoo closed her eyes and took a bite, chewing and swallowing quickly.
"How was it?" Chaeyoung asked excitedly.
"Not bad, but not good." Jisoo deadpanned.
"It tastes good and you know it, you just don't like where it comes from." Chaeyoung giggled.
"That's important!" Jisoo protested.
"Next stop!" Lisa said triumphantly as she still jiggled the temblorosos in front of Jennie to feed her who was giggling at her. Jennie finally took a bite and they finished their last one.
"A walk on the Cheonggyecheon stream?"
"It's prettier at night though, they shine the lights on the water and the little waterfalls and the bridge." Chaeyoung pointed out. "It looks like a rainbow at night."
"So maybe save that for after dinner?"
"We need to walk something off though, I'm about to burst." Jennie complained.
"Namsan mountain?" Lisa suggested.
"Not that high." Jennie whined, immediately regretting her suggestion.
"It's not that high Jendeuk. Come on."
_________
"Lisa." Jennie whined as they were half way up the stone mountain path.
Lisa smirked, already knowing what was coming. She was a little surprised it had taken her this long.
"Yes baby brat?" Lisa asked, bringing their interlaced hands up to kiss the back of Jennie's hand.
"My feet hurt."
"Do you want to take a break?"
Jennie pouted and nodded.
They stopped to look over the railing as they took in the evening. The sun was about to set.
"Come on baby, we have to hurry if we want to catch the sunset from the top."
They started walking to catch up to the other two.
"Lisa." Jennie pouted a few minutes later.
Lisa grinned again.
"Yes baby?"
"I'm tired." Jennie grumbled.
"C'mere." Lisa said, holding Jennie against her as they looked at all the different love locks padlocked to the walls and the railings. Jennie smiled because she had just wanted to stop so Lisa could hold her.
"Ready to go?" Lisa asked after a minute.
Jennie nodded. Lisa tried to let go but Jennie grabbed the arms that encircled her waist tighter, making Lisa stay in place. They started slowly walking like that, Lisa back-hugging Jennie up the stone path.
A few more minutes passed.
"Lisa." Jennie whined again.
Lisa finally broke. She had only been holding out just because pouty Jennie was so cute and she loved to witness it.
"You want a piggy back ride?" Lisa asked.
Like the last time, Jennie practically jumped on top of her, very obviously not tired with the way she ran behind Lisa to hop up.
"Drive!" Jennie said cutely, using her pointer finger to point up the mountain.
"Spoiled." Lisa said fondly as she started walking with Jennie on her back.
"You like to spoil me." Jennie said, giving Lisa a light kiss on the neck. "That's why I'm your baby brat."
Lisa's heart might have fluttered a bit at Jennie calling herself Lisa's.
Now that Jennie could show affection because they were officially together, Jennie purposely turned her head to face Lisa, laying her cheek on Lisa's shoulder and admiring Lisa's profile.
"Pretty." Jennie said, lifting one finger to trace Lisa's jawline.
"You keep doing that and I might actually drop you." Lisa said seriously, shivering from the touch.
"You'd never drop me." Jennie answered seriously, and now they were having an entirely different conversation.
Lisa stopped and looked at her and they shared that similar intense look as the last time Lisa gave her a piggy back ride. Having that same moment. The same conversation passed between them but it was different this time. Last time Jennie had told her maybe one day she'd believe that Lisa could commit. This time it seemed Jennie believed it.
Jennie nodded almost imperceptibly, letting Lisa know that Lisa was right and that they were having the same thoughts and Lisa smiled, managing to give her a quick kiss.
"I'm glad you know that now." Lisa answered back.
"Only for me right?"
"Only for you." Lisa kissed her again and started walking, catching up to their friends eventually.
Both couples bought a padlock and wrote their names on it and found a spot, doing the cliche Seoul thing couples do to protect their love, then they watched the sunset from the railing at the top of the mountain.
Jisoo was so wrapped up in Rosie too that she didn't even have time to make fun of how Lisa kept kissing Jennie's temple, or how Jennie would occasionally turn around in Lisa's arms and demand a kiss before turning back around, or how Jennie missed the sunset because she laid the back of her head on Lisa's shoulder and closed her eyes, reveling in the feeling of being in her arms.
_______
They made their first dinner round's stop at a super impressive sky dining restaurant.
"Okay, how are you guys affording all of this?" Jisoo asked seriously as she took in the fancy bar in the middle and the floor to ceiling windows on all four walls.
Chaeyoung shrugged, "Lisa sells her pictures to Namjoon and I post covers on youtube and get paid for the views or teach kids how to sing on the side."
"I know what you do, but how are you affording these expensive ass places." Jisoo asked again. "I can't imagine the amount of money you've dropped already."
"We save all year." They said in unison.
"You save all year and then blow it all on one day?" Jennie asked.
"It's a special day for us. We both look forward to it. It's usually our favorite day of the year." Lisa answered simply.
Chaeyoung nodded along with her. "It's not just because of the food, although that's a big part." She said wide eyed, looking excited. "It's like a bonding thing. We started it, well Lisa started it after the only time we ever had an almost fight."
Lisa still felt guilty about that so she went to hug her. "I'm so sorry for trying to leave to Thailand without telling you, and now I'm doing it again and this time I didn't tell you right away either."
Chaeyoung gave her best friend a kiss on the cheek and squeezed her tightly.
"You're coming back this time." Chaeyoung said.
"I was going to come back that time too. When you were done with university so I wouldn't get in your way."
"I know, but this time it's different. This time you're leaving to chase your dream, not running away from your problems. I love you Lis, you're my best friend and I'm proud of you so wipe that guilty look off of your face."
"This is so special for you guys, I feel like we're intruding." Jennie answered as she watched them while they waited to be seated.
"You guys are special to us too. It's not just Lisa and I anymore. It's all four of us." Chaeyoung shrugged.
"Yeah, even when we were fighting." Lisa told Jennie. "It felt like something was missing if you weren't there or Jisoo wasn't."
Chaeyoung looped her arm around Jisoo's and Lisa kissed Jennie's temple and laced their hands together as they were lead to their table right next to the floor length windows overlooking the Seoul city skyline.
"I think we pay for the views more than the food." Lisa commented as she took it in. It really was beautiful.
Their server came to serve their food a minute later.
"Miss Park, ladies, Shrimp Tartare with Aromatic Herb Sorbet, and a side of Super Tender Almonds in Vinaigrette. Enjoy."
"I can't believe we paid a hundred dollars per serving for this." Lisa giggled.
"I know." Chaeyoung said too.
They were basically served a small one inch by three inch strip of the shrimp tartare and the plate was decorated with a total of four almonds in some kind of sauce. This wouldn't even fill a toddler's stomach.
"Told you you wouldn't be so full. Rich people are cheap." Lisa joked at them, considering they were both super rich.
"I'm starting to wonder why I ever even ate at those places." Jennie giggled.
"Street food is much better, you pay less, you get more, and its still delicious." Lisa agreed.
"This is still really good though." Chaeyoung said and the entire table laughed.
"If you ever say something isn't good put me in a mental hospital." Jennie joked.
"Avocados." Chaeyoung, Jisoo, and Lisa said in unison.
"I love avocados!" Jennie said indignantly. "How could the god-tier foodie not like avocados."
"They're too creamy." Rosie answered in response.
"That's literally the best part." Jennie deadpanned.
They spent most of the time laughing and giggling and making fun of their small portions before their fun was interrupted.
Jennie's face dropped. Lisa noticed immediately and looked up. Jennie's father had approached their table.
"Ladies. Are you being treated to fine dining by my daughter and my niece? I can't imagine you could afford this place." President Kim said derisively to Lisa and Rosie. "Here to see how the upper echelon lives?"
Jisoo was pissed, she was really about to punch her own uncle at this rate but Jennie, Jennie seemed murderous so Jisoo reached a hand out across the table to lay it over Jennie's before she did anything.
Lisa, protective as always and unable to ever rein in the need to ridicule entitled people, stood up to her full height and glared at him. President Kim wasn't much taller than her and he stepped back a little bit in fear. Lisa smirked, knowing he thought she would probably punch him so she bowed to him mockingly.
"Good to see you again President Kim." Lisa said sarcastically, "I didn't think you were the kind of man brave enough to show their face after being humiliated but I guess rich people have different rules, no pride. Did you come for a second round because I don't think you'll survive the third degree burns after my girlfriend roasts you again." Lisa smirked one more time before sitting down. They were getting stares and Jennie's father looked around nervously.
"Jennie, we should talk."
"No thank you." Jennie smiled just as mockingly.
"This is your last chance Jennie."
"Or what President Kim? You'll cut me off again?" Jennie said in a bored tone before smirking again and ignoring him.
Jisoo smirked along with her.
Chaeyoung was still unbothered, trying the dessert they had ordered last minute just for the hell of it, they had been having too much fun talking and hadn't wanted to leave.
"You'll regret this. Mark my words." President Kim frowned before being forced to walk away because of the attention they were attracting.
Jennie rolled her eyes so hard they almost got stuck.
"You okay baby brat?" Lisa asked in concern.
"He's an asshole. I'm done letting him control my life." Jennie answered. "He doesn't scare me."
"Let's go, this place has been tainted." Lisa said.
"Are we allowed to vote based on the atmosphere or just the food because he just earned them a 0." Jisoo joked.
"I agree."
"Same."
Chaeyoung looked guilty.
"Chongah!" Lisa scolded.
"The food was really good! I can't do that to them!" Chaeyoung protested.
"It's not even real chipmunk. They won't even see your score." Jisoo giggled. Kissing her girlfriend.
"Still feel bad." Chaeyoung pouted.
"Alright let's just scrap this place from the scorecard." Jennie suggested, laughing at Rosie's response too. "I can't give them a fair score knowing my sperm donor comes here."
_________
"What are we having now?"
"I figured since it's the last meal we'd have dessert."
"Which is."
"Churros!" Chaeyoung said triumphantly as she pointed to the street stall. "And arroz con leche."
"You are really on it with these Mexicans Rosie." Lisa said laughing.
"That lady was really nice when I called her! She suggested all these places! Plus she gave us free leftovers. We had to come!" Chaeyoung said seriously.
They walked around after that, eating their dessert and enjoying the view and the lights of the Cheongyecheon stream. They eventually settled in a random pojangmacha to drink so they could end the night.
"Four more bottles of soju please." Lisa yelled to the owner after they finished their first round.
"And an order of Gomjanguh." Rosie added. "Do you guys want anything?"
"How can you still eat?" Jennie looked at her incredulously.
"Eel Chaengie? Eel!" Lisa said offended. "You ordered eel! In front of my face!" Lisa really hated eel. Especially after the jelly eel incident.
Chaeyoung shrugged, "It's supposed to be good for hangovers."
"Are you planning on getting drunk? We have a wedding to go to tomorrow." Lisa pointed out amused.
"Ugh I'm going to look awful and bloated tomorrow because I ate too much food and then you're going to leave me for your ex-girlfriend." Jennie pouted. She was a little tipsy already.
"What ex-girlfriend?" Lisa asked with furrowed brows.
"The airhead!" Jennie said glaring and pointing a finger at Lisa, looking offended as if Lisa had already left Jennie for Suzy already.
"I was single until I met you." Lisa finished.
"Oh god." Jisoo facepalmed. Taking another shot to bear through the cheesiness.
Jennie on the other hand was smitten. She leaned in to speak into Lisa's ear.
"Good answer. You're totally getting some tonight." She whispered a little too loudly on accident because of her tipsiness.
Lisa giggled and Jisoo groaned.
"We totally heard that Jendeukie!"
"Heard what?" Jennie tried to act innocent.
"I'm locking you guys out when we get home." Jisoo threatened.
"You won't have time to." Chaeyoung said matter of factly.
"Why not?"
"Because you'll be too excited to do the thing." Chaeyoung winked.
"You're doing that tonight?" Jisoo asked hopefully.
Chaeyoung nodded.
"Why are we here then. Lets go right now!" Jisoo stood up abruptly and Chaeyoung giggled and grabbed her by the wrist and sat her back down.
"We still have to figure out who lost the bet." Chaeyoung pointed out.
"Limario did. Let's go." Jisoo said trying to get up again but Chaeyoung held her hand and she sat back down grumpily.
"So we need to scrap the last two places so it's even." Lisa said.
"Show me your scores first." Chaeyoung asked and she wrote them down.
Jisoo: 0 7 7 0
Lisa: 7 9 9 9
Chaeyoung: 10 10 10 10
Jennie: 9 9 9 8
"Jisoo you gave the expensive breakfast lobster place a zero?" Jennie said incredulously.
"That caviar was disgusting." Jisoo said not feeling bad at all. "They deserve that score."
"Okay so expensive breakfast got 26 points. Cheap breakfast got 35. Expensive lunch got 35. Cheap lunch 27."
"So who won?" Jisoo asked.
Jennie did the math quickly in her head. "Cheap!"
"What did everyone pick?" Chaeyoung asked.
"Cheap."
"Cheap."
"Cheap."
Everyone looked at Lisa who hadn't answered yet.
"I'm gonna go get the check." Lisa said, getting up.
"Let me see your phone Limario!"
"What for?" Lisa asked nervously, putting it behind her back.
"Let me see it."
"No. There's nudes in there." Lisa said to Jisoo. "You'll see them."
Jennie immediately glared at Lisa. "Excuse me?"
"Of me!" Lisa said hastily. "There's nudes of me!"
"And who have you been sending those to because it for sure as hell isn't me." Jennie said now getting up from her seat too, stalking towards Lisa angrily who started backing up.
Jisoo got up and rounded on Lisa from the other side.
"They weren't good enough to send?" Lisa said with a lilt. She was a bad liar.
"Delete those in five seconds or we're breaking up." Jennie threatened her with a glare.
Lisa was still backing up as they stalked towards her.
"Okay okay I lied there's no nudes."
Lisa bolted and Jisoo started chasing Lisa around the red tarp tent until Jisoo cornered her again.
Lisa was taller than Jisoo so she raised her phone up high and jumped every time Jisoo tried to jump for it too.
"She lost the bet didn't she." Jennie asked unnecessarily as they watched their girlfriends fight over Lisa's phone.
"Yep." Chaeyoung said giggling.
Jisoo finally stole Lisa's phone.
"Damn Lisa you weren't lying about those nudes. But whose this girl? That doesn't look like you. Neither does that one. How many do you have in here?" Jisoo asked as she sat back down.
"What fucking girl lemme see!" Jennie shouted. Lisa flinched, about to defend herself because she was sure Jisoo had just downloaded some random naked picture of a girl just to prank her.
Jennie snatched the phone so fast out of Jisoo's hand to look at it and then glared at Jisoo who was cackling at her. Jisoo had apparently just been looking at the text message of Lisa's guess for their bet.
Jennie glared at Jisoo. "Mean."
"Anyway like I said, Limario lost the bet. As usual. Shocker." Jisoo deadpanned.
"I thought you guys would have expensive palettes!" Lisa whined. "And Jennie is super picky when we eat! It takes me like ten minutes to guess what she wants!"
Jennie pouted. "Am not."
"Yes you are! You always force me to pick and then you never like what I pick so I have to pick something else until you agree because I know what you really want is for me to read your mind because you're indecisive and it's some weird reverse psychology on yourself or a test for me on how well I know you!"
"You're not getting any tonight anymore." Jennie grumbled crossing her arms. "And you better not have any nudes in that phone Manoban!"
"This is your fault." Lisa said to Jisoo, frowning before banging her head on the table repeatedly.
"Sorry not sorry. I'll get a moment of peace and quiet for once."
"You're not getting any either." Chaeyoung said.
"Aw come on! Chipmunk!"
"You were being bad Jisoo."
Jisoo and Lisa walked dejectedly behind the other two as they walked home, leaving the car behind since they were all too tipsy to drive.
"They're so dramatic." Chaeyoung said.
"I know. You'd think we stole their favorite pet."
"Didn't we?" Chaeyoung said boldly, giggling.
"Oh my gosh Chaeyoungie!" Jennie said blushing but giggling too. "We did."

A/N
If anyone wants to know what "the thing" is Chaesoo does and you happened to have read "Is it Fate" already, yes, its definitely the same thing. ð
Side Note: I always wonder if the universe took pity on irl Lisa and made her the richest out of all of them so she could keep up with the bets she loses, or if Lisa forced herself to work overtime to be the richest out of all of them just to keep up with the bets she loses ð
