Take Me

Chapter 8

Jennie's POV

We returned from the beach and spent the rest of the day at home. Jisoo said the activities will start tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I am here in the garden admiring the view. I let out a sigh. I miss Lia, i thought to myself. I went through my phone and look at the pictures of my little princess.

"Is that Lia?" I heard Rosé's voice from behind. She sat beside me looking at the photos on my phone.

"Yep, my little Lia" I said as I showed her another picture of my little girl.

"She looks just like you Jen" she said. I smiled. I get that a lot, that Lia is the little version of me.

"Well, you know, genes" I joked and I saw her laughed. I shared my photos with Rosé. Lia wasn't able to meet Rosé since Rosé is working at the palace, and she doesn't know where I was.

Night starts to fold in and I smell something good in the kitchen that dragged my feet towards it.

"Jisoo, is that you? That smells really goo—" I was cut off of my sentence when I saw who was cooking.

Lisa.

She looked at me but didn't say anything. I saw her turn off the stove and placed the food on the plate. I was about to leave when I heard her speak.

"Tell them dinner's ready" she said. I simply nodded and bowed down.

Lisa's POV

When I heard Jennie's voice in the kitchen, I remembered the times where I used to cook for her. While I was at the kitchen awhile ago, I was caught off guard that I was cooking her favorite.

When I asked her to call the others, she obliged and bowed down. Honestly, I don't want her to do that, not because she's a friend -I don't even know if we're friends- but because she's their friend, and it's a pity to treat her that way. But my feelings get in the way of my judgement.

I sigh at my thoughts and place the dish on the table while I prepare the rest of the utensils.

I hear soft footsteps heading towards my direction so I assume that they're here already. I sat on one side and I saw them entering the kitchen area.

"Let's eat" I said. They nodded. Jisoo and Rosé proceeded to their seats beside each other which left Jennie standing still away from the table.

"Jen, sit now" Jisoo uttered. I can feel her hesitating. But I kept myself and my composure and didn't mind her.

Not Interacting her might lessen the chance of pain. This is also for my own good. Call me selfish, but in this situation, she's more selfish than me.

She sat on the chair beside me and we started to eat. The 3 of them enjoyed exchanging conversations while I remain silent, listening to them.

"I saw Lia's picture, she's really cute" I froze at the name. Yes. I know who Lia is. She's everywhere when Jennie decided to bring herself back to the limelight.

"She looks a lot like Jennie right?" Jisoo commented.

I saw Rosé nodded. I didn't know what has got into me but I stood up, and left the table. I went straight to my room and threw myself in the bed.

Did she really love me?

I questioned myself.

How can she have a child? After all our promises.
