OUR 2 WEEKS vacation at the beach went well. We still have 2 weeks. So we decided to enjoy it by traveling. And guess what? We're going to New York. I'm so freaking excited.
We're now inside the private plane from my Dad. And yes, I sat beside Jennie.
"Lili, when we arrive, what do you want to do first?" She asked while leaning her head on my shoulder.
"Enjoy the view, and the fresh air, ofcourse." I replied. She held my hand and intertwined our fingers. "What about you?"
"Anything, Lili. As long as you're with me." I automatically smiled when I heard it from her.
I'm so inlove with her.
"I want to marry you soon, Lili." She suddenly said. I was surprised at firsr but smiled after.
"I'll marry you soon, Nini. I promise. As long as I'm breathing, I'll spend every second of my life with you. Only you." I whispered and kissed her temple. She immediately hugged my waist so I wrapped my hand on her shoulder. She's still leaning her head on my shoulder.
"I love you, Lili." She muttered.
"I love you too." I replied.
"Goodness, lovebirds, stop flirting for awhile, please. Respect the single ones." I heard Bam said. I just chuckled.
"Bitter much, Bam? Why don't you find yourself a girlfriend?" I asked.
"Tss. That's not my thing, noona!" He hissed. That made everyone laugh.
Suddenly, Ten started singing. It made me smile. He's voice is really good. I love it.
Did I already mention that everytime I'm feeling down, Ten will always sing a song for me? Well, for me, he's the best among the rest.
"What makes us so right,
Is it the sound of the laugh,
That look in her eyes~
When do you decide,
She is the dream that you see
That falls in your life~"
That's our favorite song. So I decided to sing the next line, much to his surprise.
"When you apologize no matter who was wrong,
Would you get on your knees if that would bring her home~"
I sang. He surprisingly looked at me but I just smiled at him. And signaled him to continue. But he just shook his head and said that he can't sing anymore. I just chuckled. He's so cute.
"Yah yah! You two guys are still sweet towards each other! It seems like you're still together!" Jisoo unnie said. We both chuckled. And then I realized, Jennie is still beside me. I looked at her and she's now pouting while looking at me.
"Oh, look. I guess, Jennie unnie got jealous." Chaeng said.
"You're jealous?" I softly asked.
"Who wouldn't? Tch. Go and sit beside him instead." She annoyingly said and pulled away from me. She then crossed her arms.
She's jealous.
Should I make her jealous more?
Yeah. I should do that.
"Okay. As you said." I said and was about to stand up when she slapped my arm. "What?!"
"I hate you!" She hissed. I smirked at her.
"Oh. I thought you love me?" I teased but she slapped my arm again.
"I really hate you! Tch." Everyone laughed because of Jennie.
"So you're really jealous, eh?" I teased again.
I'm starting to love this. Teasing her when she's jealous.
"Jealous your face. I'll never get jealous even if I saw you hugging your ex." She said in a flat tone. An idea popped out in my mind. So I quickly stood up from my seat which is beside Jennie, and sat beside Ten. I leaned my head on his chest and buried my face on his neck.
Like I used to do before.
"Jennie, look! They're so sweet! TenLisa forever!" Seulgi unnie said. I smirked. Let's see if she can resist me.
"I love you." I heard Ten whispered. In a serious tone. My heart starts beating faster.
He still have this effect on me.
"I'm sorry." I whispered back. He secretly kissed my temple. Much to my surprise.
"Be happy with her, arasseo? And I promise, I'll be happy on my future love life." He muttered. I teared up upon hearing those words so I quickly pulled away from him and smiled at him. I stood up and went back on my seat with a blank expression plastered on my face.
He's hurting. I still have some feelings for him. And he still loves me. I just know. He just let me go because he knew that I love Jennie. And I felt bad for him. He didn't deserve that.
"Lisa? You suddenly became serious." I heard Sunmi unnie said. I faked a smile.
"I'm fine." I said, almost like a whisper.
I should forget my feelings for Ten. That's the right thing to do. I already love Jennie. That's all.
"Lili? Are you mad at me?" Jennie whispered. I averted my gaze on her.
"No." I coldly said and immediately looked away.
I hate this kind of situation.

As soon as we arrived, we went to Airport Plaza Hotel near the airport and booked 3 rooms. Each room have 2 beds that is good for 2 people each bed. While waiting for the keys, we decided about who will share the rooms.
"Okay. So since I'm the leader, I'll decide. Seulgi, Irene, Jennie and Jisoo, room 152. Me, Bambam, Rosé and Lisa, room 153. And Joy, Wendy, Yeri, and Sunmi, room 154." Ten said. We all agreed and no one protested.
As soon as we received the keys, we entered our room based on Ten's decision. I'm glad that those three are my roommates. It's gonna be fun.
I quickly placed my bags on the side of my bed and laid down to relax.
"Hey. Limario. Why did you become serious earlier? And you even acted cold towards Jennie." Rosé said and laid down beside me. I turned to her and hugged her waist.
"I don't want to talk about it. Something just happened." I whispered. She gently caressed my head.
"It's about Ten, am I right?" She asked. It took a seconds before I answered.
"Yeah."
She just hugged me back.
Ten and Bam are out to visit other's room. It's a good thing so I can talk to Rosé.
"Spill." She said. I let out a deep sigh.
"You knew that we broke up but we still have feelings for each other, right?" She nodded. "Sadly, I love Jennie now. But Ten, I know he still loves me. I know, he just agreed to our breakup and let me go because he knew that I have feelings for Jen. He's hurting, Chaeng. And I hate seeing him like that. It hurts me, too." I sadly explained. I started to teared up.
"Then talk to him. Fix your relationship. Help him to move on from you. You should still stay by his side even though you guys are not together anymore. Because he became a part of your life after all." She softly said. Tears started escaping from my eyes down to my cheeks. She caressed my back, trying to comfort me.
"I hate this kind of situation, Chaeng. I still care for him. I still love him because he's my buddy. So I don't to see him hurting because of me." I said and sobbed.
"Shh. Stop crying now, Lalisa. I heard what he said to you earlier. He said that you should be happy with Jennie. And he promised that he will be happy on his future love life." She muttered.
A minutes had passed and I already stopped crying. I'm just trying to calm myself now.
"Go and talk to Jennie. Apologize for what you acted earlier towards her." She commanded. I sat up and fixed myself.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For always comforting me when I'm sad." I said and smiled. She smiled back.
"We're bestfriends, Lalis."
I stood up and was about to exit our room when I heard two people talking outside of our room. It's not my intention to eavesdrop, but I can't help it.
"So, what do you want to say to me again?" Jennie? I'm sure it's Jennie's voice.
I turned to Chaeng and signaled her to keep quiet. She just nodded.
"You know that we already broke up, right?"
And Ten. It's Jennie and Ten.
"Ah, yeah. Why?"
"I still love her."
"W-What?"
"I still love her."
There's a moment of silent and after that, Ten spoke again.
"But I let her go because I knew that she loves you. So please, do me a favor. Don't hurt her. Love her and protect her at all cost. Don't you ever dare to cheat on her. Because if ever that happens, I'll take her away from you and you'll never see her again. I hope it's clear, Jennie. I love her. I really do. So I don't want to see her hurting especially if the reason is you. She really loves you, Jen. She loves you more than anything. I know. I just know."
I teared up again when I heard Ten's words.
"And one more thing, always understand her. She always have reasons, Jennie. Consider her feelings all the time. Don't be such a selfish. 'Coz she hates those people who are selfish. Don't hurt her feelings. And protect her heart. Please."
"Y-Yeah. I promise."
Another promise from her. I'm looking forward to it. I just hope that she will fulfill her promises.
When I assured that they're done talking, I opened the door. And there, I saw the two of them. They immediately looked at me.
"Oh, Lisa, did you hear anything?" Ten bitterly asked. I closed my eyes because of guilt and opened it again and looked straightly on his eyes.
"We'll talk later." I said in a flat tone. I averted my gaze on Jennie who's now looking sadly at me. I faked a smile.
"I'll leave the two of you here. I have something important to do with Bam." Ten coldly said and left.
"You already promised many things." I coldly said to Jennie. She confusingly looked at me. "A week ago, you promised that you'll never hurt me and you'll never cheat on me. And today, you promised so many things. I hope you'll fulfill those promises." I explained.
"L-Lisa. Ofcourse, I'll fulfill those because I meant those things." She said.
"But promises are meant to be broken." I added.
"Don't you trust me?" I clenched my fist when her voice cracked as she teared up.
"I trust you, Jennie. I trust you more than myself. So please, don't break my trust." I said, almost like a whisper. I pulled her closer to me and hugged her. She just hugged me back and didn't protest about my sudden action.
"I love you." I softly said.
"I love you, too, Lili." She said and tightened her hug. "Trust me, okay? I'll fulfill those promises." She whispered.
"Yeah. I will never stop on trusting you, Nini." I whispered back.
