It's been a week since Jennie and Kai got back together. As Lisa expected, one sorry from Kai, and Jennie was wrapped with his finger again.
"Lisa oh my gosh! He's been sweet to me ever since we got back together. He even took me out and we watched at the cinema together."
Lisa wiped the tears that rolled to her wet cheek as she silently sobbed. She's been listening almost everyday to Jennie's story about her relationship with Kai and how much he changed.
"Lili, are you still there?"
She cleared her throat. "Yes, Jen. But my break is done. I have to get back to work now. Or Jisoo unnie will fire me." She fake a chuckle and ended the call without waiting for Jennie to response.

3:00am Lisa felt her world was spinning. She almost tripped, luckily she managed to hold the counter stool for support, Jisoo saw what happened from the glass window of her office and quickly approached Lisa.
"Lisa-ya? Gwaenchana?" Jisoo asked, worried. She held Lisa's shoulder and studied the younger girl state. Lisa nodded slowly. Balancing herself.
"I'm fine, unnie."
I have to be fine. For myself.
Same day, Lisa and Jennie went to get ice-cream, that was the day when Jennie and Kai fixed their relation. She took Jennie home only to find Kai patiently waiting at the doorstep of Jennie's place.
"What are you doing here?!" Jennie held Lisa's hand, as the younger girl was watching the two talking.
"Jen, babe. I'm sorry. But I wasn't the one who texted Krystal, it's Suho. He used my phone."
Lie. Lisa thought to herself but who was she to interrupt. She remained quiet.
"I swear to God, Jen. I love you. I'm sorry. I promise to focus on you now. To prove myself to you."
Jennie quickly removed her hold to Lisa's arm making the latter's heart broke. She was about to walk when Kai, kissed Jennie's lips in front of her.
Her world crumbled down.
She left the two without saying goodbye to them and busied herself since then.
"Lisa-ya, are you getting enough sleep? Or are you still sleeping? You barely leave the bar. Joy told me you're staying here more often." Jisoo guided her inside her inside her office. Guilty, she looked down.
Jisoo let her rest at her office first and gave her water.
"Thanks, unnie." She drank the whole glass of water and closed her eyes a bit, resting at the couch.
"Go home and rest now, Lisa-ya. I'm taking no for an answer." Jisoo said with finality when she saw Lisa about to protest.
Lisa left the office and went to get her bag at their locker room. Then she heard her phone dinged.
From: Nini
Lili, Kai and I went to hit the road. I'll not be home until the next day. Love you. Take care.
She sighed. Her dizziness worsen. She clutched her chest and her tears welled up again.
She saw Mina's several texts and decided to read them.
From: Mina
I can't sleep. Are you okay? Joy informed me you're not well.
From: Mina
I'm gonna pick you up. Joy told me you nearly stumble.
She was about to call her when she received another text from Mina.
From: Mina
I'm outside. I'll wait you at the parking.
She fixed herself and went to the parking lot quickly. She immediately saw Mina patiently waiting for her. She smiled as she saw Mina biting her nails, indicating she's nervous.
Upon Mina sees Lisa, she quickly went beside her and helped her.
"Hey, I'm fine." Lisa cackled. "I'm strong."
"Fine? I think you're not. You look so pale! I'll bring you to the hospital." Mina helped her to climb at the car. "Careful." Then Lisa groaned and Mina heard it as she entered the driver's seat. She looked for a bottled water she bought along the way and gave it to Lisa.
"Thanks, but seriously. I'm fine, Myoui. I just need to rest. That's all."
Mina sighed, she started to drive until she heard Lisa gagged. "P-pull over."
Mina obliged. She stopped the car and Lisa quickly went out the car. She stroked Lisa's back as she vomits.
"Lisa." She sobbed, as Lisa recovered, she eyed Mina who's crying like a lost child.
"Why are you crying?"
"I'm.. It's just.. I'm worried... About you." She covered her face with her two hands and Lisa smiled. She pulled her and hugged her.
"I'm fine. I will be fine, trust me." She kissed Mina's head appreciating the girl.
Then a car honked. Lisa scrunched her nose wondering.
The road is wide. And the car's even parked properly.
To her surprise, Jennie descended from the car, fuming like a mad tiger. Then Kai followed after.
"Lisa! What are you doing?! Flirting with her in the middle of the road?!"
Lisa saw red. But Jennie is still her bestfriend. So she prevent herself from venting.
"She's not flirting with me, Miss Kim. She--"
Jennie waved her hand in the air, cutting Mina "I'm not talking to you, bitch!"
"Jennie!" Kai and Lisa shouted.
Jennie startled a bit. Then Kai went beside her and tried to drag her to his car but Jennie spat his hand.
"So now I'm the bad guy? She's taking my bestfriend from me!" Jennie shouted. Lisa held her head. Her dizziness kicked again. Jennie was about to approach her when Mina helped Lisa first.
"Listen, Miss Kim. I'm not taking that title from you. She's your bestfriend and I'm making sure that I won't take that away from you. You know what will I be to ber? I'll be her girlfriend! So I'm going to do anything just to make her mine. Now, If you'll excuse us. I'll bring her to the hospital because she's not well."
Jennie was left with Kai, speechless and dumbfounded and hurt.
