Lisa
THIS DAY WENT well. Since Jennie and I are okay now, I walked her home, again. I'm currently sitting here now on the couch in my house. Or should I say, I and Chaeng's house. Jisoo unnie and Bam are not here because they decided to stay in their own house.
"Lis, don't you want to move to another house with Jennie?" Chaeng suddenly asked.
"Maybe after we graduated, Chaeng. I don't want to rush things." I replied.
"We just only have three months before our graduation. You should start planning about that already."
"Yeah, you're right. But as I said, I don't want to rush things. We just became official yesterday."
"There's nothing wrong with that, Lalisa. Especially when you really love each other. Anyway, change topic. What are your plans after we graduated? You said, you'll go back in Thailand, right?" She brought out.
Geez. I forgot about that.
"Maybe. I'm not sure, yet. I mean, I don't want to leave Jennie here. And she can't go with me either." I stated.
"Lisa, let me remind you that Mr. Wang is still alive so he can still do something bad to your parents. So you need to go home. Your parents need you." After she said that, the reality hit me. I need to stop Mr. Wang from doing something bad again.
But what can I do? I'm powerless. While he's powerful. I'll just lose the battle if ever.
"Is there any way to stop him?" I asked while looking at her. She let out a sigh.
"There's nothing we can do to stop him, Lisa. Just accept that fact. Even if we want to, we can't." There's a hint of disappointment on her tone. I just sighed.
"But we can stop him if we will ask for someone's help." I looked at her in confusion.
"And who's that someone?" It took her a seconds before she answered my question.
"His son. Jackson Wang." What she said made me chuckle.
"Are you out of your mind, Rosé? Just like what you said, it's his son. Do you think he will help us to do something to his own father?"
"Lisa, I did a background check about him. He's not in good terms with his father. There's more, Lis. He tried to stop him before from attacking you and your parents and from robbing your dad's bank account. So I guess, he will help us if we'll ask for his help." She said without a pause.
Wow. This bestfriend of mine is really amazing.
"So?" She asked while waiting for my answer.
"Let's discuss about it when Ten came back." She could only sigh.
We can't plan something without Ten. Ten knows what to do so we need him. But we can't let the squad know about this.
"You know that he's trying to kill you, aren't you?" I was shock upon hearing her question.
After he robbed my dad's bank account, he started making a move to kill me. But luck isn't on his side. So here I am, still alive.
"Ofcourse, I knew."
After that, she didn't say anything anymore. So I excused myself and entered my room. It's already midnight. So I laid down on my bed and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up when I felt someone laid down beside me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Chaeng's face.
"Hey, good morning." She greeted with a small smile.
"Yeah. Good morning to you, too."
"Ten messaged me. He said, he'll come back here on Saturday in the morning." She uttered.
"Will we pick him up at the airport?" I asked.
"That sounds good."
"Anyway, Somi want us to attend her birthday celebration party on Saturday. Are you free?"
"Yeah. As long as the whole squad will attend the party, then I'll attend, too. Anyway, Lisa, you said you want to pet a cat, right? Why don't we buy a cat?"
"That's a good idea, Chae. We'll buy one on Sunday."
After that, I excused myself and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. We have no classes for today since our professors are busy for our upcoming graduation. So they just decided to cancel our classes for two days so they can focus more on their preparations.
Since we have no classes for today, the squad will have a get together. I kinda felt bad because Ten can't join us since he's still in Thailand. But I hope, it's fine.
While I'm drying my hair, I received a call from Jennie so I picked it up.
"Good morning." She greeted in a cute way. Aigoo. My baby.
"Good morning, too, baby." I greeted back. "Why did you call?"
"Nothing. I just want to hear my Lili's voice. I miss you." My face redenned as she said those words. Aish. She never failed to make my heart flutter.
"Y-Yeah. I miss you, too." I stammered. She let out a small chuckle.
Even though we just became official the other day, there's one thing I learned. Jennie is more vocal and affectionate. And honestly, I love that. I mean, I'm a bit vocal and affectionate, too, but I'm a little shy when it comes to expressing my feelings.
"Honey? Are you still there?" I was back to my senses when I heard Jennie's voice from the other line.
"A-Ah, y-yeah." And I stammered again.
"Where will we meet later for our get together?" She asked.
"We'll go together."
"Just the two of us?" I chuckled.
"No. The whole squad, baby." I replied. I can tell that she's pouting now because she won't have alone time with me. "I'll hang up now, Jen. See you later. I love you."
"I love you, too." After that, I ended the call.
I wore my white loose long-sleeve polo tucked in my black jeans. After putting some makeup, I went out of my room and headed to the living room where Chaeng is. I sat beside her on the couch.
"Wow. You're all prepared already, huh. It seems like you're going on a date, Ms. Manoban." She teasingly said. I rolled my eyes.
"So, what's the score between you and Chu?" I asked to change the topic.
"A-Ah, we're official now." She shyly said. My eyes widened but I quickly smiled teasingly at her.
"You're so whipped, Park Chaeyoung."
"Shut up."
I'm glad that they really ended up together.

We're on our way now towards our meeting place. Jisoo unnie and Bam are with us already. And I'm the one who's driving now because Bambam didn't want to drive. The same goes with Chaeng. While Jisoo unnie still doesn't know how to drive.
"You know what, among all members of the squad, we're the ones who are really close with each other." Bambam broke the silence by saying those statement. He's sitting on the passenger's seat while the ChaeSoo couple are sitting together at the back.
"Just Lisa and you or including me and Chae?" Chu asked.
"Ofcourse, including you and Rosie. Even though Chae just became part of the squad a year ago because she became friends with Lisa, she still got closer with us."
"And Chu and I are friends for years already." I added. He quickly agreed.
"So the three of you are the original members of the squad?"
"What do you mean by original? It's not like that. The three of us formed the squad but all of us are original members."
"Oh."
We kept on talking about our lives that we didn't notice that we already arrived in our meeting place. The others are already there including Jennie.
"Don't tell me, we're late?" Chae asked.
"Yeah. Indeed. We didn't notice the time. We kept on talking to the point that Lisa started to drive slowly so yeah, we're late." Bambam said. We quickly went out of the car and approach them.
"I thought you're not going anymore." Irene unnie said. I went towards Jennie and greeted her with a kiss on her forehead.
"Sorry if we're late." I apologized. "So, where will we go?"
"A new bar just opened yesterday. It's just a little far from YG building so we can go there if you want." Sunmi unnie said while busy typing on her phone.
"Seriously, unnie? A bar?" She looked at me and raised a brow.
"Why? Is there a problem with that?"
"Is there any other place?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Enough, guys. Let's just have a barbeque party in Bambam's house since his parents are currently in Thailand for business." Chaeng suggested.
"Wait, what about we go shopping first?" Irene unnie suggested in which Jennie quickly agreed. Aigoo. I forgot that these two are really into shopping. Who can stop them? No one.
"Okay. Let's go. Nini, are you going to join us in my car or you'll just ride with them?" I asked Jennie.
"Ofcourse, I'm going to ride with you. Come on."
"Wait. I think, I'll just going to ride with Sunmi noona. I don't want to be a third wheel." Bambam said and quickly rushed towards Sunmi unnie's car. I just let him and just enter the car. The ChaeSoo couple still sat at the back while Jennie sat on the passenger's seat. I turned on the engine and drove away.
While I'm busy driving, I saw two men on the sidewalk. One of them is so familiar to me even though I can only see his back.
In the end, I just shrugged it off. But one name popped out in my mind.
