Due to the news, she became distracted and unsteady for the entire week. She rarely gets scolded during practice but for that entire week, a day will cry if she won't get a piece of it. The choreographers and vocal professors let her off the hook, after all, she's one of their best students and the stars of the show and somehow allowed her to take longer breaks along with the other leads since she pretty much knew everything - they just needed more practice to perfect every scene.

To her colleagues and classmates, she says she misses home, her parents and had short sleeps.

To Jisoo and Rosé, she says nothing but the same thing adding "Pressure's becoming too strong to ignore." since their play will be just in a month.

To herself, she's broken, drained, tired, sad and angry towards no one but herself. No one asked her to fall in love yet there she is, numb and in pain because of it. No one asked her to fall for Jennie yet she did, she does. Pathetic. Dumb.

That day, Monday. Just right after lunch and the first period of her practice, she had her forehead resting on her bag that's on the table. Ear buds sticking inside her ear and blasting songs in full volume to take her out from the reality just for a while. Eyes closed and hands on the table, motionless and tired.

Rosé, Jisoo and Jennie are on their way to get something to eat in the far east wing of the campus while discussing about their individual daily happenings when Rosé spots the brunette.

"Oh, Lisa!" she halts and does a turn to approach the lad.

Receiving no replies, Jisoo says. "That girl is probably blasting it in full volume again." shaking her head, she follows the younger while Jennie's trailing behind her, eyes never leaving the immobile woman.

"Lisa?" Rosé tried again but same treatment, she could even hear the residue of the music from the ear buds, it made her wince. She resorts on poking her on her arm instead. "Lisa."

Feeling the touch, Lisa slowly lifts her head and stares up north to see who was the source of the contact. "Oh hey." she says, it's was said in a monotonous voice that Rosé immediately place her back hand on her forehead.

"You okay?"

She removes her ear buds, effectively snapping her back
