LISA'S POV

I took off my shoes when I entered the house and took the slippers that were next to the door. I dropped my bag on the couch, no one was in the living room so I went to the kitchen. I first stopped at the door where I was looking at her, I watched her while cooking until I found myself smiling. I slowly approached her and hugged her from behind, I noticed she was a bit surprised by my presence. I hugged her thight and laid my head on her shoulder.

"Are you tired?" She asked me and I nodded.

"Rest first, I'll just finish this" She said while slicing vegetables.

"I'm resting now" I answered, even though I didn't see her face I know she was smiling.

She's my safe place, I have peace of mind when I am with her, I always feel that I'm safe by her side. I'm so thankful that I met this girl.

Suzy's POV

Her breath was heavy and even if she didn’t say it I knew something was bothering to her mind. I just let her hug me, that's how she was before, she didn't like to talk about her problem, she just wanted to feel that she wasn't alone. She was good at pretending and always fooled other people with her sweet smile but I was not one of those people because for almost two years I always looked in her eyes.

"When are we going to plan our wedding?" She asked while still hugging me.

"Maybe when we are no longer busy" I answered.

"I can make time, babe" I turned around and face her and cupped her face.

"You're sounds excited, babe" I said while smiling.

"Why, aren't you excited?" Her forehead was furrowed.

I chuckled. "No words can describe how excited I am" I smiled and kissed her.

She also smiled and kissed me on the forehead, nose and lips. I love you. She whispered.

I was about to answer when someone spoke from the kitchen door.

"That food will be burn!"

Lisa was shocked and face them. "Seul? Irene? What are you doing here?" She asked the two then looked at me.

"I invited them for dinner" I answered her.

"Are you close with each other?" Lisa asked again.

Irene laughed. "Why, is it prohibited?"

Lisa shook her head. "No, I just can't believe it"

"I met them earlier at the grocery store so I invited them to dinner, right guys?" I looked at Seulgi and Irene.

"Yeah she's right, but if you don't want us here we'll just leave" Seulgi was about to pull Irene's hand but Lisa stopped her.

"No, no, no! I'm just kidding!" She threw a pat holder at Seulgi but she immediately avoided it.

"Fuck Manoban, is that how you welcome guests?" Seulgi also threw the pat holder at Lisa but Lisa catched it.

I just shook my head and laughed at the two of them.

SEULGI'S POV

We were in the dining area while waiting for the two to finish cooking. I was playing online games when Irene spoke.

"It's weird that you didn't talk to your secretary huh?" Her eyebrows were raised.

My forehead wrinkled. "Why would I talk to her? We're not at work"

This woman is looking for a quarrel again.

She rolled her eyes. I moved my chair closer to hers. "We've already talked about this, right? You see, I didn't reply to her messages"

"There are so many social media platform where the two of you can talk" Irene replied.

"Don't you trust me?" I asked her.

"No one would trust such a face like yours" Lisa replied when she came to the dining area and she laid the dishes on the table.

"Especially with you, I don't even know what potion you used on Ms. Bae" I said jokingly.

Lisa was about to speak but Suzy arrived. "That's enough babe, we're going to eat" She said to Lisa.

Lisa pulled out a chair for Suzy and she sat down next to it. "When you taste my wife's cooked, you might forget your way home" Lisa said proudly.

"Really? Is she your wife now?" Irene kicked me hard. "Ouch!"

And because of that, the two looked at me.

"Don't think about that" I tried to smile.

I looked to Irene and she glared at me.

"All right let's eat" Suzy said cheerfully and put food on Lisa's plate.

I noticed that Suzy took care of Lisa too much, unlike before when Lisa took care of Jennie. I'll admit that Suzy is really good at cooking, Lisa mentioned that she is a chef but I was still surprised when I tasted the food, no wonder why Lisa fell in love with her.

While eating, we just talked. We talked about their wedding. Lisa looked happy but I couldn't understand as if something was missing, she was smiling but it wasn't the smile I used to see. I know it's not nice to think that I'm comparing her relationship now with her relationship with Jennie before but there seems to be something really missing.

I tried to get that idea out of my mind. Maybe I'm just overthinking because I haven't been with Lisa for a long time, a lot has changed in the last two years.

"Are you sure you're going to marry this friend of mine?" I asked Suzy while I pointed to Lisa.

"It seems like you don't want me to get married" Lisa looks at me badly.

I burst out laughing. "I just feel sorry for the bride" I answered jokingly. "You still have time to think Ms. Bae" She just laughed at what was I said.

"Shut up Seul!" Lisa scolded me.

We stopped teasing when Irene's phone rang. She excused herself to answer the call, and when she returned there was a trace of concern on her face.

"I'm sorry Lisa and Ms. Bae but we have to go" She said goodbye to the two and immediately grabbed her bag.

"Hey calm down. What happened?" I asked her, we haven't left Lisa's house yet.

"Jen was at the bar, drinking alone" She replied.

I chuckled. "You're kidding me, Jen doesn't drink alone"

Irene breath heavily. "I asked her, she said she was not with anyone. We have to go Seul, the last time she drank alone she was almost doomed" I could see the tears forming in her eyes.

I held her hand to calm her down. "Okay, we're going to see her and I assure you nothing bad will happen to her"

I looked at Lisa and Suzy. "I'm sorry but we have to leave, thanks for the dinner Ms. Bae" I smiled to her.

They seemed to hear what Irene and I were talking about, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Lisa accompanied us to the door.

"Seul" I turned around when she suddenly called me.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of her" I tapped her shoulder. I don't know why I said that but it looks like she needs to hear it.

She smiled at me in response and we went out of their house.

- You may have found the person who will give you peace of mind, but not the person who will give you genuine happiness.
