"lisa?"

everyone gulped when lisa's eyes fell on them, her smile never leaving her face.

"hi!" lisa beamed at them as if nothing happened.

"why are you holding taehyung's doll?" jimin frowned and pointed at it.

"oh, this? i found this and it looks really beautiful. do you mind if i play with it for a while, tae?" lisa turned to taehyung who was frozen.

"uh, of course." taehyung tried not to stutter as goosebumps crawled up his skin.

"lisa, do you wanna hang out?" jisoo asked, almost in a whisper. lisa looked at the ceiling for a second with a thinking look.

"hm, maybe not today. i'm kind of tired walking around so i prefer to be here." lisa shrugged.

"are you sure?" chaeyoung asked, her voice laced with concern and fear at the same time.

"oh, i'm very sure. you all can hang out, i'll be here. don't worry, i'm fine." lisa gave them a wide smile before looking back at the doll.

"o..kay then. see you later liz." jungkook said before shutting the door close.

what they didn't know, behind that door, lisa's wide smile had faltered and turned into a thin line.

"why didn't you take tae's doll?" namjoon whispered-yelled to them once they were out of ear reach from lisa.

"it's better like that, she's calm! i don't think it's a good idea to make her mad right now." jennie grimaced.

"why are you all scared anyway, you could've just dragged her out of the room like you usually would. it's not like she's a different person. is she?" yoongi asked, crossing his arms.

everyone turned silent after that.

"what if it's not lisa?" jungkook spoke up.

"that's ridiculous, kook. lisa is lisa." hoseok said before opening the door.

they all walked outside, feeling the tension inside the house.

"what should we do now?" jisoo sighed.

"i don't think we should call jiwon right now, if lisa gets suspicious that we're suspicious of her, I don't think it'll go well. so as possible we should treat her like we normally do." taehyung frowned.

"so what you're saying is, we should wait for lisa to go rabid on us, then we can get help?" chaeyoung raised an eyebrow.

"exactly." taehyung nodded.

"what if lisa hurts one of us?" jimin furrowed his eyebrows.

"then we'll make sure that we're safe first. it's better if jungkook, namjoon and i would be the ones to hold lisa up in case she goes insane. jisoo, yoongi and taehyung would be the ones to do the speaking. chaeyoung, jennie, jimin, and hoseok would make lisa feel better and contact jiwon." seokjin spoke up after a few minutes of being silent.

"i agree with jin hyung." hoseok nodded.

"then it's settled, we all have roles to play. now we're just waiting for lisa to take the bait." jisoo breathed out.

they stood outside there, but got startled when a car passed by, 5 girls were yelling on a car.

"choi minho, i fucking love you!" a girl yelled, almost out of the window while yelling.

"shut up, seulgi!" the other girls yelled.

they all looked at each other with weird stares.

"i think we should go back." jisoo said as they decided to walk back inside the house.

they immediately stopped on their tracks when they saw lisa not too far on the door, looking at them with an emotionless place.

"it's not good to talk behind my back, guys."
