"So where is this party again?" Jimin asked curiously while flipping through some documents for work.

Chaeyoung plopped down next to him on the dark leather couch with a plate full of sliced green apples in her hand.

"Lisa's boyfriend's house," She replied casually, chomping on an apple slice.

"And where is that?" Jimin turned to her suspiciously. Observing people was one of his many talents and he was especially attuned to assessing his little sister. It was obvious she was trying to hide something, which was useless since she was a terrible liar.
