YOU

Lisa stood in front of the bathroom mirror, admiring her reflection. She applied a bold coat of lipstick, emphasizing the curves of her lips. The vibrant color added a pop of vibrancy to her already striking features. She then expertly gathered her hair into a sleek ponytail, showcasing her sharp jawline and piercing eyes.

Next, she subtly adjusted her short skirt, ensuring it accentuated her toned legs. A final glance in the mirror revealed a stunning young woman, exuding confidence and poise.

As she turned to leave, Lisa caught a glimpse of someone snapping a photo of her. She spun around, but there was no one in sight. A shiver ran down her spine; this was not the first time she had noticed someone taking pictures of her. The same thing had happened on her walk to school that morning.

Just then, a camera shutter clicked, and Lisa's eyes widened as she realized someone had taken another photo. Jimin, a classmate, suddenly appeared, chasing after the unknown photographer. He quickly returned to Lisa, who stood frozen, her skirt having slipped off her waist, revealing her bosom.

Lisa's eyes flashed with warning, daring Jimin to look away. Jimin, respecting her boundaries, swiftly turned around, allowing Lisa to adjust her clothing. As she dressed, Jimin removed his sweater, using it to cover Lisa's exposed skirt, revealing his own chiseled chest in the process.

Together, they exited the bathroom, only to be met with a flurry of whispers and stares from their classmates. The girls' comments were a mix of shock, curiosity, and criticism.

"Are they dating?" one girl whispered.

"So, Jimin is dating her, even after knowing she's a snob?" another girl sneered.

The comments then shifted, focusing on Lisa:

"Look at her, always thinking she's so much better than everyone else."

"What is she doing, dressing like that?"

Jimim's eyes locked onto the gossiping girls, his expression stern. He reached out, taking Lisa's hand in a gentle yet possessive gesture. Together, they walked away, leaving the whispers and stares behind.

Lisa's voice was laced with gratitude as she thanked Jimin, but he simply shook his head, his expression unreadable.

"Do you know who did that?" Jimin asked, his brow furrowed with concern. Lisa's face flushed, and she looked away, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Uhm, I don't know," she lied, her voice barely above a whisper. Jimin's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing.

"You're a liar," he said, his tone tinged with disappointment. Lisa's eyes flashed with anger, and she glared at Jimin.

"I'm not," she protested, her voice rising. Jimin's expression remained skeptical, and he took a step closer to her.

"You are," he said, his voice firm. Lisa's face burned with indignation, and she took a step back, her eyes blazing.

"Wait, why do you care if I'm lying or not? And besides, don't act like you know me just because of that one day," she snapped, her anger boiling over.

"I don't like you, Jimin. You're so annoying. And maybe you were the one who sent someone to take that photo of me. How else could you just happen to show up out of nowhere?" she accused, her voice venomous.

Jimin's face darkened, and he took a step forward, his eyes flashing with anger. "I saved you," he growled.

Lisa's laughter was harsh. "You didn't. You must have set the whole thing up. What were you doing in the girls' bathroom, anyway? Do you have a girlfriend now?" she taunted, her words cutting deep.

Jimin's face twisted in rage, and he spat out the words, "You're the worst person I've ever met. You're worse than my sister!" He turned and stormed off, leaving Lisa standing alone, his jacket still wrapped around her waist.

Lisa sighed and shook her head, watching as Jimin disappeared into the distance. "I don't care about his feelings," she muttered to herself. "And why am I angry at myself for yelling at him?" she wondered, confusion etched on her face.

She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. "His perverted attitude has gotten to me. I'll never like him," she declared, her voice firm as she walked away.

Lisa stepped into the bustling convenience store, her eyes scanning the vibrant aisles stacked with an array of sweet treats. The store was a treasure trove of colorful snacks, each one more enticing than the last. People of all ages milled about, selecting their favorite goodies. The air was thick with the sweet scent of sugar and chocolate.

Lisa made her way to the sweet section, her heart racing with excitement. She was on a mission to find her favorite imported sweet, a rare treat she'd grown fond of during her time in America. As she scanned the shelves, her eyes landed on the last three packets of her beloved sweet. Her heart skipped a beat as she spotted the white flavor she adored.

Just as she reached for the packet, a mysterious figure swooped in, snatching it from the shelf. Lisa's eyes widened in annoyance, but her anger was tempered by confusion. The person was dressed entirely in black, from their hoodie to their joggers, shirt, mask, and even eyeglasses. Their face was completely obscured, leaving Lisa wondering if this person was even human.

"How can you wear so much black?" Lisa exclaimed, her frustration boiling over.

The mysterious figure remained silent, their face hidden behind the mask. Lisa shook her head, deciding to leave the sweets behind. She moved on to the cookie counter, her eyes scanning the rows of colorful treats. As she reached for her favorite flavor, the same mysterious figure appeared, snatching the cookies from her grasp.

Lisa's anger flared, and she was about to confront the person when she decided to let it go. Instead, she picked up a different flavor, one she didn't particularly like. As she made her way to the drink section, she steeled herself for another encounter with the mysterious figure.

As she approached the fridge, her eyes locked onto her favorite drink. But, to her dismay, it was out of reach. Just as she was trying to stretch for it, a guy darted in, snatching the drink from the shelf. Lisa's anger boiled over, and she grabbed the guy's hoodie, pulling it back to reveal their face.

As the guy's face was revealed, Lisa's emotions went into overdrive. She felt a mix of anger, happiness, sadness, and delight all at once. And then, she saw the face, and her heart skipped a beat...

"you"she muttered
