JISOO'S POV
We are now at the parking lot when suddenly I feel my phone vibrated. I opened my phone and saw Jennie's texts.

"You guys go now, I need to go somewhere," I said while Lisa is opening her car.
"Are you sure? Do you want me to drop you off where you needed to be?" Lisa asked me nicely.
"Ani.. I can do it on my own, in fact, it is already getting late. See you tomorrow, I guess?" I answered her.
"Okay unnie just take care!" Rosé smiled and they wave away from me while I am waving back to them. I waited for Lisa's car to be gone before I went back to the bar.
I went to the back door and the bouncer lets me in
I go to Selena's dressing room immediately but the bouncer that is guarding her dressing room won't let me in.
"Let her in. She's my niece, Bob." I heard Aunt Seo said. I smiled at her and bow at her she did the same. When I entered Selena's dressing room I saw Jennie removing her makeups.
"Hey" I said and tap her shoulder. "Jisoo-yah! Tell me? How good I was tonight?" Jennie exclaimed.
"Hmm let me think.." I said and gesturing like I am thinking.
"Yah! Why do you need to think about it! Don't you heard those assholes yelling to me just to get my attention!" She said and pouted.
"Hahahahha! Jendeuk you did great tonight. I saw how Lisa gulped like a hundred times in a second. The last time I gulped like that was when I was eating a whole damn chikiiin without drinking water!" I said proudly.
Jennie and I laughed at that memory. "I can still remember you almost choked because of the chicken bones Hahahahah" she said while laughing.
I always support her. Not because she's my best friend but I also like to see womanizer getting laid without getting any clues about it. The recent target of Jennie was my ex and I laughed at him because he was so down for her but he was chained naked on the bed. It was really funny.
Jennie has been through worst, her ex Stacy from New Zealand was her everything. I saw how she suffer because of that girl. She let that girl ruined her. It was painful to see your friend being in that state. I helped her recover. It wasn't my plan to do this kind of thing, actually, it was all hers. All I did is to support her.
Lisa Manoban is her new target. That's the main reason why we end up being a transferee to that school that her father owns. Funny, right? Jennie and I are looking for targets to punish but I did not know that this Manoban girl will be Lisa, all we know is her last name. It caught me by surprise to know that Lisa is kind of a nice person. But this time I feel bad for Lisa. I know she's a player but I could feel that she's a good person too.
"So tell me, when are you going to stop targeting her?" I asked her. I know my question was out of nowhere.
Jennie gave me a confused look.
"You want me to stop? Why? Are we having a change of hearts now? Unnie we are just starting" She said looking at me through the mirror. Not believing what I just said.
"I was just thinking maybe we could give her a chance? You know? Maybe she could change?" I said
"I am not hearing this from you, JIsoo." Jennie said while removing her earrings.
"Okay let's just drop the topic." I finally said because I don't want to push it to her.
"Let's go get some ice cream unnie before we go home," Jennie said looking at me with aegyo.
After we bought ice cream we get into the car.
"Oh Jennie, I forgot to tell you. Chaeyoung wants to hang out with us tomorrow in Lisa's house." I said while driving.
"Are you serious? Are you really trying to befriend our target unnie?" she said while eating her milk ice cream.
"It is not like that. You know I like to be friends with Rosé right? And I just can't say no to her. She's being nice to us."
"Okay unnie, but why in Lisa's house? Why not in her house?" she asked curiously.
It also made me think for a minute.
"Hmm I don't know? " I plainly answered.
"Just don't act like a b***h to her okay? There's this quote that you should keep your friends close and your enemy closer" I added while laughing
"You have a point. Then I'll be nice to her. But don't think that I want to be friends with her!"
ROSÉ'S POV
"Could you tell me again why on earth do they need to spend time here at my house with us? I thought it's our time together unnie??" Lisa said while chewing her breakfast
"Because I asked them, and you said yes last night!" Chae exclaimed.
"I don't remember anything Chae." Lisa said she looks really not into this but I want to be friends with them.
"Whatever hun you should prefer you don't want them to see you like that right?" I teased her. Lisa was wearing an oversized shirt and shorts.
"Fine, I'll let them stay here but if ever that Jennie acts like a brat b***h again I will not think twice in kicking her out off my house, get it?" she said furiously. I just laughed at her reaction.
Jennie and Lisa can't really tag along. They both hate each other that's why I asked Jisoo unnie to spend Saturday with us, of course, to let us know each other too.
Lisa went to the bathroom and I wash the dishes and preparing foods for our visitors. I know my friend doesn't want to be involved with anyone after what happened to her two years ago.
Lisa is a great person with a good heart. Yes, she has a good heart. Everyone is naming her as a player, womanizer, f**k girl and what so ever. But I know my friend, she just became like that when she broke her heart two years ago.
I was the one beside her to comfort her. She fights for her love for someone but sadly that someone broke her heart and made her like this. She became miserable and fragile. Lisa doesn't want to be friends with anyone because she feels like they are going to betray her always. I am the only one she trusts about almost everything; she is an open book to me. That's why I think Jisoo and Jennie are going to be good friends to me and her too.
I only want the best for my best friend, we are like sisters. Jisoo is fine while Jennie is a bit cold but I know she's also a good person but she looks like she hides a lot.
The bell rang. Maybe they are here already. It is already 12:10 PM
I opened the door and saw Jisoo smiling so wide. She's so cute as always and beside her is Jennie unnie who looks great today. They are both good looking anyways.
"Hello! Come inside, please" I said smiling and gesturing for them to go inside.
"Kamsahamnida" they said in unison.
"Feel at home guys, Lisa is taking a bath now. She might don't want you to know that she stinks hahaha" they laugh at me but they stop instantly.
Lisa is out of the bathroom and she doesn't know that Jisoo and Jennie are already here.
"Oh s**t!" she yelled and ran back to her room.
I saw the two girls shocked and Jennie ... is she blushing?? Hmm
"Don't mind her hahaha" I said taking the awkwardness away.
---
We watched different movies. This is the first time that I am not seeing them fighting or throwing a glare at each other
Lisa was reaching for the popcorn that is on the table.
"Hey let me help you, here," Jennie said. I look at them secretly, I don't want them to feel awkward. Jisoo is really paying attention to the Disney movie that we are watching such a kid.
"Thank you," Lisa said and get the popcorn in Jennie's hand.
The movie is already done.
"Do you want to build a snowmaaaan" Jisoo sang and held my face. I sang with her.
"Or ride our bike around the halls?" my time to sing
"I think some company is overdue" jisoo's part
"I've started talking to the pictures on the walls!" my part
"It gets a little lonely All these empty rooms" Then suddenly Jennie sings with us.
I saw Lisa look at her in shock. Jennie has a good voice too.
Jennie nudges Lisa, gesturing her to sing her part. Lisa smiled "Just watching the hours tick by (tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock)" and then Lisa also sing with us. The view of my best friend smiling is really a good view.
"Elsa, please I know you're in there. People are asking where you've been" Jisoo continued singing
"They say, "have courage" and I'm trying to, I'm right out here for you. Just let me in" this part was Jennie's part the last sentence made Lisa look at her.
They stared at each other for seconds.
"We only have each other. It's just you and me. What are we gonna do?" Lisa sang this part more emotionally. And then she breaks eye contact with Jennie. She stands up realizing her tone. "I-I will refill the drinks." She said and went to the kitchen with the pitcher.
The three of us left on the couch. "She'll be fine, what do you want to watch next?" I said and look at the two girls.
"Uhm Chae, is Lisa always been a player?" Jisoo suddenly brought out.
"To be honest, Lisa is not like that. She's just building her walls. She doesn't want to get hurt ... again." I said honestly.
"Why? What happened to her?" Jennie's time to ask.
"Just don't tell her that I told you okay?" I told to them. They both nod as a response.
"Her ex, cheated on her. That girl is a witch." I said in an angrily. The two girls are listening attentively.
"It was actually a long story. I was there for her, Lisa has everything on her plate now. Maybe someday she'll fall in love again. She's just distancing herself and doesn't want to get involved with anyone. Yes, she may be a player/womanizer but all the girls that she been sleeping with know that she can't give anything more than just sex." I explained to them
Jisoo looks at Jennie, then Jennie looks down.
"So do you mean they both agreed to just s*x?" Jisoo ask.
"Yes. That's what she told me and I believe her because she's an open book to me." I said.
I heard footsteps coming and we go back to our previous position so that Lisa won't have a hint that we are talking about her. She doesn't like the idea of talking about her past because it really ruined her.
"Ready to watch another movie?" She said while raising the pitcher with a big smile plastered on her face.
I don't want her to go back to the Lisa that was miserable and fragile. I will never let anyone steal her happiness again. Not anymore.
