JENNIE'S POV
We have now arrived in Korea, we just landed a few minutes ago and now we are waiting for our luggage.
"It is good to be back," Jisoo said happily.
"It is.." I said as I smile.
In my peripheral vision, I saw a familiar figure of a girl while looking for our bags.
"Lisa!" and heard another woman's voice but it doesn't sound familiar at all.
I look at the direction where the voice came from. I am silently praying that it wasn't her but when I look around I saw a petite tall girl with black hair. All I can see is her back since she's facing the girl that she's hugging right now.
Her physical appearance looks like ...
After she hugs the girl they both walk and it freezes me from where the hell I am standing. It was her, with a girl that I couldn't recognize at all.
Lisa wasn't blonde at all, her angelic face, her genuine smile. Her eyes .. she looks really happy to see this girl.
Imagine seeing the girl you love after a long time with someone else, looking so genuinely happy. I look down so that she won't recognize me because they are going to pass me by.
"Jen! I already have our bags, shall we?" Jisoo said and you can notice the excitement in her voice.
I just nod at her "Are you okay?" she asked me curiously.
The guards with us carried all our bags and luggage as we walk.
"You are not talking. What happened?" Jisoo asked me again. This time we are already in the car. I did not answer her but instead, I just look at the window. The rain started to pour down.
And for the second time around, I saw her again. With a black umbrella and not letting the rain to pour down to that girl. She was carefully guiding this girl inside her car.
"Now I know why." Jisoo murmured and I look away. She did not talk but hugs me instead. What can I say? That's all I need right now.
We arrived at our hotel room and I decided to go to the bed to take some rest while Jisoo is unpacking.
"I'll just take a nap," I said to her. She just nods at me but I know she's worrying. "I'm fine, don't worry," I added and smiled at her.
"You will." Jisoo said and I couldn't understand it but chose to just shrug it off.
This is my first day in Korea after six years and my first day went like this. It is almost evening and I'm lying at my bed. I wanted to sleep but my thoughts aren't helping me. I'm looking at the ceiling thinking who that girl is.
I stood up and open my laptop. I search for Lisa's name. The netizens must be crazy to find out that too since Lisa is kind of famous.
While searching I saw pictures of the girl that Lisa fetched at the airport.
"Megan Carter, rumor girlfriend of Lisa Manoban"
So her name is Megan. Nice name and she's beautiful.
She really is.
I lost myself looking at their photos that were captured by the paparazzi. Are they really dating? Since when?
"Looks like someone is busy stalking." I heard Jisoo from my behind and I immediately close the lid of my laptop.
"You scared the s**t out of me Jisoo!" I said to her and Jisoo was giving me a sly smile.
"Jealous?" she asked me seriously this time.
"Of course not! Just curious." I said not looking at her. "You know what, Let's just sleep," I said trying to prevent the topic.
"I know it still hurts, Jen." Jisoo said. "It's not. I swear." I said defending myself.
"I know you more than you know yourself, Jendeukie." She looks at me waiting for my response.
"Alright alright." I sigh defeated. "I'm really not jealous, I'm just curious and I don't know exactly what I'm feeling right now but at least I'm not jealous or whatever. I'm not." I said ending our topic.
LISA'S POV
I woke up early not because I want to but because some asshole is calling me.
"Chaeng what the hell it is?" I said obviously disturbed.
"It's already 11:00 AM Lisa and you are still sleeping?" she said from the other line. Oh, I overslept. But I still want to sleep more.
"Well, obviously I was because you won't stop bugging me," I said out of annoyance.
"Geez, you are rude. Help me look for something to wear, I'm going on a date." Rosé said and it made me drag myself out of my bed.
"Wait. what? To whom?" I said exaggeratedly.
"I'll tell you if you get dressed in 20 minutes. I'll wait for you at my condo. See you Lalisa!" she said then hung up the phone. What the f**k?
I tried recalling her but she's not answering it so I decided to go to the bathroom but then I read some messages from my phone some are from work and some are from Megan.
I opened her messages.
"Good Morning, Manoban."
"Still sleeping baby?"
"I hope I can cook something for breakfast."
"Thank you for last night."
"I love you, take care."
I smiled at her last message and quickly replied to her messages.
Let's watch movies later? I'll go to Chaeng, something came up and I need to check that chipmunk because she's about to commit a wrong decision again. I'll text you when I'm on my way to you okay? Take care baby. I love you too.

I quickly fixed myself and drive to Rosé's condo. I knock a couple of times but she's not answering. Damn what she's up to?
I tried calling her and she's not picking it up. I started to panic.
But to my ninth attempt, she finally opens the door. "What the f**k? Are you trying to destroy my door, Lisa?" she hissed at me.
"No, but I'm going to destroy your face, asshole. Why are you not answering my calls? And what the f**k took you so long in opening this damn door?!" I said pointing to the door.
"I know I disturbed your sleep but can you please, calm down," she said not really getting my point.
"Who are you going with? You said you have a date?" I asked her, changing the subject.
"Chanyeol" she said briefly.
"Is this another arranged date from your parents?" I asked her while rolling my eyes.
Since the break up with Jisoo, Rosé wasn't the same girl anymore. She's now fiercer and bolder. Her parents trying to arrange dates for her because she was really sad and lonely. I know part of it was my fault. If everything just went right between Jennie and me, our friends won't suffer the same.
She even locked herself up to her room and cried all day. She really loves Jisoo and I know up until now she's still hoping that Jisoo will go back to Korea and they'll have a happy ending, perhaps.
"No. I met him at the party last week. He seems nice and sweet. I kinda want to know him more so when he asked me to go out with him I said yes." Rosé said and made me shocked.
"Wait, what? why?" I said in disbelief.
"It has been 6 years. I think I should move on." She said and smiled at me "Right?" she added.
I can't contain my happiness but I still feel guilty about what happened to her and Jisoo.
"I know you are blaming yourself for what happened, Lisa. But that was years ago. Jisoo is not coming back. I should move on." She said and I can hear her voice crack.
"Right." That's the only thing that came out of my mouth.
While we are in the car my phone rings and it was my dad. "Answer it for me please," I said to Rosé since I am the one who's driving
"Hello uncle, this is Rosé, I'm with Lisa and she's driving right now." Rosé said as soon as she picked up the call.
"Please turn it to a loudspeaker, unnie." I said and she did.
"Oh Rosé, good thing you are with my daughter. Mr. Park and I want you to go to the upcoming event here in Korea it's a big event for everyone and we want you as our daughters to come there, of course." My dad said from the other line.
"What kind of event is that, dad?" I asked him curiously.
"It is called 'The Heiress' where children of different business tycoons will attend. We'll send the invitation letters later since it is weekends so you guys aren't in the office. The information about the event is already there. " He explained.
"Okay, dad. Thank you for telling us." I said. And he hung up.
"The event sounds exciting." Rosé murmured.
"If there's a lot of girls it is surely is," I said as I drive and Rosé rolled her eyes at me.
We are walking for like a hundred years in this mall and Rosé still can't figure out what to wear.
"Do you really like this guy?" I murmured.
"I don't know." She said honestly.
"When you were dating Jisoo you don't take this too long to figure out what to wear," I said irritably.
"Yeah, you're right. I can be me in front of her." She said while looking at the dresses for the hundredth time.
"Jisoo.," I said.
"Lisa, I thought we are on the same page? I said I want to move on from her. Are you not going to help me?" Rosé blurted out.
"No," I said.
"What the f**k?" Rosé hissed at me.
"No, what I meant is I saw Jisoo," I explained.
"You saw her??" Rosé asked me, unbelieving what I just told her.
"She was there," I said pointing to some direction.
"Alright. Where? There's no Jisoo there, Lisa." She said and crossed her arms.
"I'm serious Chaeng, I saw her," I said trying to convince her.
"Wait if that was really Jisoo .. it means she's back and she might be with .." I was going to say her name when I saw her from not so far. ".. Jennie." I finally said it.
"s**t. That's really Jennie." Rosé said in disbelief.
"And that's Jisoo." I gulped as I saw Jisoo approaching Jennie.
"They are back..." we said in unison.
