"Can we please have a sleepover at my house?" Lisa begs, they all look at each other and smile "why not?" Jennie says and all of them shifted their direction towards Lisa's house.

Lisa knocked on her door and was greeted by her older brother Namjoon, who's currently in his second to last year of high school. "It's almost 10 pm, where have you be-" he stops talking when he sees that she has brought company.

Lisa's parents are workaholics since both of them are very successful lawyers, they are rarely seen at home. Lisa is aware that since she's young, she does what she pleases since her parents are not there to discipline her or tell her what's good or bad for her, but Namjoon has done a good job on keeping Lisa's feet on the ground and teach her morals of life.

"This time it wasn't on purpose. I'm sorry" She apologizes which makes her brother calm down and seems that her friends were coming into the house and Lisa still hasn't said a word about them. "It's late shouldn't little girls be home" he teases and Jennie pushes him to the side playfully so she could pass through. "Shouldn't you be studying" she responds.

If Namjoon wasn't watching television, he would be studying every damn thing even if it wasn't related to school. "It's Saturday," he says as he follows the girls to the living room. They stayed there and start talking about nonsense and Namjoon just sat in his solo sofa, listening to music when he notices time flying by and that the girls are still not going home. He doesn't mind if they do stay but he found it strange. "Are you guys staying over or-"

"Yes, they are" Lisa snaps.

"Then let them call their parents cause last time, I almost got my *** beaten" If they have a sleepover it's usually at Lisa's place since her house was double the size of the others so it was more convenient, but sometimes they would forget to tell their parents that they weren't coming back home.

Namjoon doesn't realize that Lisa had them sneak in or informed him that they were here since he always busy studying. In the middle of the night, he would wake up with someone trying to break into the house because the parents were looking for their daughters.

"We already did when we were coming here, they all agreed" Namjoon finally feels more relaxed by Jisoo's words.

"Can we invite Jimin over-" Rose asks but the idea was shut down when Lisa's brother quickly hears his name and says no. Jimin is Lisa's neighbor and also a friend of Namjoon so you could say that they are close. "It's late, maybe tomorrow."

"We were calling him for you since so you won't feel lonely" Lisa comments which make the girls giggle. He blushes and tries to go back and pay attention to his phone, but Rose said something interesting which made the room heated on fire.

"Lisa don't bully your brother, he's waiting for Jennie"

It was no secret that Namjoon had a crush on Jennie "no offense but you're not my type," She teases him.

Jennie seems to like the bad boys vibes and Namjoon was nowhere near there, he was the complete opposite.

"You might change your mind when you mature a bit" he winks at Jennie and quickly heats up the room and left the girls teasing Jennie.

"But in a serious note, Jennie.... you can't date my brother" Lisa confessed seeing her brother leave the living room. "Why would I?" She exclaims laughing nervously.

"or any of you" she admitted.

Shit.

Their friendship has lasted close to a decade which is really surprising even for them because they were really different when it came to intelligence, maturity, economic status, hobbies, school, and opinions, but they never let that come in between them and instead encouraged them to stay together. One thing that they did have in common

They had the same mindset.

Jisoo lived in her neighborhood her whole life. While the others came one by one.

Lisa parents were successful lawyers that often forgot about their children. They were the definition of workaholic adults. Jisoo's parents were one of the first families to introduce themselves to the Kang family.

A seven-year little girl hid behind her parent's body. Jisoo was too shy to 'Hi' to the tall girl who apparently was the same age as her. Jisoo was intimidated and afraid to go near Lisa's side because...

Lisa was mad at the world.

One day Jisoo's parents invited Lisa and Namjoon to the Carnival which changed things for the better because it caused Lisa to smile.

She couldn't stop smiling and laughing. Jisoo was no longer frightened by her, she saw Lisa's true colors, from that day forward, they were inseparable.

Then Jennie came the very next year.

Jennie's parents were both Tax Managers and stayed in the same place for too long. Also, her mother was having a love affair, and her father doing whatever he wanted.

Her mother got pregnant with her when she was 17, she wasn't planned. When she was born, her parents were forced into marriage for the child, for Jennie. Her parents didn't love each other one bit, but they stayed 'together' for her. Each year that Jennie would age she would see them less and less.

Her parents saw Jennie was getting older and being more independent, they realized that she could take care of herself without a problem. Her parents didn't see the point in checking up on her like other parents.

They weren't good at hiding secrets, it didn't take long for Jennie to figure out, why her parents never came back home.

She never told anyone about this.

The reason why they moved was because of Jennie. They thought if she was going to stay alone by herself, might as well buy her a big house so she could do whatever she wanted.

Nobody came to introduce them self's to the Kims. Mostly because they didn't even notice they had already moved in except for one person...

Namjoon.

He was studying for an exam on Friday and heard a lot of noises that came from trucks and he went to check it out and open his window. Someone was moving into the new house a couple houses cross his.

Even from the distance, he noticed a little girls beauty.

Since that day he would always try to look for the petite girl. He noticed a pattern, every weekday she would read books for hours in a rocking chair near the main entrance of her house. He never had the chance to see her up close.

So one day Namjoon went out for a run especially on a Saturday morning, for the first time in his neighborhood.

He passed her house and the girl noticed. The second lap, Namjoon looked at her direction and she gave a smile. By the third lap, Jennie waved at him.
