Hate You

CHAPTER 6 - Engaged

Lisa did not have time to react as she felt Jennie's left hand on her neck, pulling her face closer to her own. By instinct, she closed her eyes.

When she felt the pair of soft, plump lips against her own, her knees buckled. She would have fallen on the floor, if it wasn't for Jennie's right hand on her waist, keeping her steady.

It happened all so fast, but Lisa remembered the flashing of lights, Jennie's warm breath on her face, and the way air was knocked out of her chest. The rest of the experience was too blurry.

Jisoo and Rosé watched with their mouths hanging open.

Lisa could barely recall how she got out of the Vanity Fair party as she sat outside Kim Dahyun's office, waiting for Jennie to come out.

They had been screaming at each other for the last five minutes, and Lisa could not figure out a word they were saying.

"Where did this girl even come from? I've never seen her before and now you gave her a ring? Your games are getting more extreme, Jennie. You could have just stuck to your playgirl ways, and now you had to promise marriage to get some?" Dahyun looked at her friend in disbelief.

For the first time since stepping into her, office. Jennie showed an emotion. She seemed surprised at the mention of marriage.

Dahyun picked up her iPad and shoved it into Jennie's hands. When the actress looked at the picture taken by the paparazzi and posted on the Dispatch website, her eyes narrowed.

She didn't notice it before but on Lisa's hand was an engagement ring that eerily resembled that ring she threw a few days ago.

The ring that she warned Lisa about.

Rosé's ring.

Well, fuck.

The paparazzi snapped a photo of her kissing Lisa, with the blonde wearing the ring meant for Rosé. That's. Just. Great.

This faux affair just reached a whole new level.

"There are already polls on some internet sites and people are betting on how long before you'd break this engagement. You're trending on twitter, in case you didn't know!" To say Dahyun was furious is an understatement.

Jennie was sitting opposite Dahyun's table, looking bored. When her agent turned, this time, her laptop for her to see what he was talking about, the brunette just lifted her hands to check her nails; her attitude driving Dahyun even crazier.

"Jennie, please, if you're going to break this girl's heart, please tell us now so we could prepare what to do to save your rep. Directors are already inclined to believe that you're irresponsible, which is the exact opposite of truth, actually. You're the most professional person I know. But we can't help it if they associate your philandering ways with irresponsibility, Jennie. They think it's childish, and immature, and-" Jihyo, Jennie's manager, did not get to finish her lecture.

"Well, I guess this is your lucky day then because that's all about to change." Jennie calmly got up from her seat, heading for the door.

"What? So, you're serious about this? You really are marrying this girl?" Dahyun could not believe her ears.

"Aren't you glad that there's not going to be anymore scandals in the future?" Jennie said as she pushed the glass door open, walking out and leaving a gaping manager and agent behind.

As soon as the door closed, and Dahyun and Jihyo recovered from shock, Dahyun picked up the phone.

"Call her PR. I'm setting up a press conference." She ordered Jihyo, who nodded in agreement.
