ROSÉ.

Lisa and i together with our team and securities, we flew to New York to prepare for the Grammy Awards.

It should be only Lisa but i tagged along coz going outside the country means freedom.

Lisa has a place to stays in New York. It's her granny's house. It's a huge one where we can practice for our production. Although she will go to Drake's place to practice, i will be left here.

Just like today. I'm here in the function hall with a grand piano. I will be playing one in my performance.

I just finished the first song when someone walked in.

"Oh! Who are you and those people?" He asked.

"I'm Lisa's bestfriend. Didn't she tell you we will be staying here?" I asked politely.

He shook his head. "She didn't. Anyway, that was a nice song."

"Thank you. I'm Rosé."

"I'm Stephen, her half-brother." We shook hands.

"I guessed she was too busy to inform me that she has guests."

"Sorry for that."

He nodded. "It's fine."

Then, silence. He seems like he wants to say something while i'm itching to ask something too.

"I study here." He stated, answering the question in my head.

Stephen looks so normal? I mean, he looks like a good guy and far from Lisa's description who was a happy go lucky person.

"What do you study?" I asked after a while.

"Business Management. I think it's the easiest course to take." He shrugged.

I nodded. I don't know what to respond to that.

"I'll go ahead. I might be bothering your practice."

"Ah..yeah. i'll tell Lisa to talk to you." I stated.

"No need. She might ask me about uni."

I nodded and he went off.

I was stalling in the library, checking out books when i saw a book named M Manoban. Something tells me it's a personal property and it would be like trespassing but there's a force on me wanting to check it out

I looked around. No one was around. My team might be resting or out. Stephen is in his school. Lisa is meeting another artist she couldn't tell me who. There's only me in the library.

I took the book and went to the nearest table. As i flipped the pages and read the entries, it made me sick.

I know Marco Manoban is asshole but he is more than that. What a dyke.

Should i tell this to Lisa?

She'll be hurt. I don't want to see a lifeless-like Lisa. She's happy now. She do what she loves and enjoy what she loves. This is gonna break her.

No.

She might even distance herself to me..to everyone.

I sighed as i put back the book in the shelf and with a heavy heart, i walked out the library.

LISA.

"I heard you are friends with Rosé. She is the one we really want to work and we couldn't because of her company."

I didn't show how my jaw clenched but smiled at them.
