Rosè's POV

"Hey, babyyy, are we going to Lisa's house?"

"Yeah, later, babe. I think we'll buy a gift for Ella first."

"Aishhh, goods, ninay." We both laughed. You know what's funny? She actually hates baby Ken—because he always ends up peeing on her shirt—but deep down, she's really sweet to him

"Did you get any information?" I asked while we were eating.

"Nothing. It's so hard to track Jennie's location, you know that."

Yeah... we don't know anything about her life anymore since she left. Lisa just told us that Jennie is fine and that we shouldn't try to look for her. But she's my best friend. Sorry, but I can't stop.

"You know, hon... what if we just give up? Maybe Jennie will come back. I'm sure—"

"She's my best friend. We will not stop until we find her... even if she's out of the country."

"What do you mean?"

"What if she's not here anymore? What if she's in another country?
Shouldn't we try searching abroad?"

"Stop, baby. Jennie wouldn't leave the country. She would never want to be far from Liam, okay?"

Jisoo's right. Jennie would never let herself be too far away from her son.

Lisa's POV
"Liam, come down! Dada cooked for you," I called, already sitting at the table with Somi beside me.

"Okay, dada, I'm coming!"

"Babe, sit here. Let's eat." I pulled Aisha closer and she sat beside me.

"Baby, can you look after Ken later? I have an interview."

"Sure, sure. I'm just here anyway."

"Dadaaa, let's eat!" I was shockedwhen Liam suddenly jumped onto my lap.

"Yahh! Don't scare your dada, Liam!"

"Sorry, mommy."

We finished eating and went back to our daily routine. I always drove, with Liam beside me.

"Oww, my baby Ken, do you want some milk? I think your mom will be mad but shhh..."

Ken is five months old.

Jane's POV

"When are you coming back?" Kai asked over the phone.

"I don't know... It still hurts. I feel the pain we caused Lisa."

I missed her so, so much. Even Liam. I wanted to see them, hug them, be with them.

"Girl, there are three ways. First, be honest with her. Second, accept that it was your fault. If you need to beg—then do it. Do it for the both of you.
Last, if she still doesn't want you, then don't force it. Don't push, because you'll just end up hurt. Always remember—you need to let go if the person doesn't want it anymore. Protect your heart."

"Why did you even come into my life?" I sighed.

"Ask the writer, duh. Anyway—promise me you'll be at my wedding, okay? Or else I'll feed you to a tiger."

"YAHHH! I need to go, I still have work."

"Who's going to watch Gail?"

"Did you forget I asked Mom to come to Japan? She's helping me take care of Gail so I can work. Duhhh."

"Ohhh, I didn't know. Sorry, haha. Bye, beh. Take care."

"Look, anak, Gail's so cute—she looks just like me."

"Oww, thanks, Mom. But she actually looks like her dad."

"Yeah... she really does. But anak, don't you have a decision yet? When will you go back home?"

"Nope. I want to stay here for good."

"What if Lisa finds out the truth? What if she takes my granddaughter away from you?"

"I'm preparing myself for that moment. But if she doesn't want to come back to us... let her. All I need to do is raise Gail properly, even if her dad doesn't want her. That's my only mission."

"Hays, anak. Take care of Gail, okay? Be happy and strong. You can do it."

"Thank you, Mom. I need to go. It's Gail's milk time—don't forget."

"I know, Stay safe."

Jisoo's POV

"Let's just stop this. Even the police couldn't find her. What else can we do?"

"Honnn, please. If you love me, then let's not stop until we find her."

"She doesn't deserve it. A cheater? She couldn't even be content."

"I know she made mistakes. But please."

"Hays, Rosé..."

Yes, I admit it—I hate Jennie. She's a cheater. But she's also close to me, and she's my girlfriend's best friend. And I can't hurt my friend Lisa either. If she finds out we're still searching for Jennie, things could get messy.

Jennie's POV

I finished work and, of course, Alia was at my house again, ready to cause chaos.

"Come on, Bess. I promise you won't regret this."

"Stop it! What if Lisa punches you?"

"Lisa, Lisa, tsk. She won't care. If you choose one of the three—come on."

"I have Gail and Liam to think of. I'll go back to Ace."

"Make her jealous—"

"That's exactly what I won't do—"

"Come on, just look. He's handsome."

I looked. Damn. He had abs. Just like Lisa. Okay, he was pretty good-looking.
"What's his name?" I asked, and Alia smirked.

"Ay, ay. Now you're curious. It's a blind date, right? Ask him tomorrow."

"I'm warning you, Alia. Don't push me—"

"Abs..."

"Okay fine! Tomorrow!"

"There you go. You agreed. I'll leave now."

A blind date? Am I really going? Just because he's handsome? Aishhh.

Maybe not.

"Anak, don't you have work today?"

"None, Ma. It's Alia's fault."

"Oh, what's going on with your friend?"

"She wants me to meet some guy she says could replace Lisa."

"Maybe he's the one, anak. Just let Lisa go. She has Somi now anyway."
"Maaa, come on..."

"You really can't take a joke, anak."

"Mom! Haish."

"Just promise me one thing, anak—don't get pregnant right away, okay? Bring him here first."

"Maaa!"
