Mirror of Traps

Chapter 18

"Sorry. There was an emergency at the office." Lisa apologized as Jennie left in the car.

"No, don't worry. I'm just worried he's not getting enough rest." Jennie worried the latter was too much of a workaholic.

"I'll let him know to call you as soon as he can. But I'm pretty sure he'll do that on his own."

"Yeah." Jennie's reply came out barely audible. "I'll see you later, Lisa."

"Yes, Miss Kim."

"You could just call me 'Unnie'."

"But-"

"Please." Jennie pouted, making the other giggle.

"Alright, unnie." Lisa waved at her as the car started. "I'll see you later."

She walked back inside to see Seulgi loomed over her phone.

"What's happening?"

"They managed to find out he's in Japan. Just not sure if it's Kyoto or Osaka."

"How long have they been there?"

"Just a few hours. The travel agency confirmed they came from the U.S."

"America..." Lisa took he repeat beside Seulgi on the bed. "Why would they travel from America to Japan?"

"No idea. But Rosie confirmed that her brother is back and left last night as soon as he came to meet with his friends. She's waiting outside Nayeon's restaurant right now."

Lisa got up as soon as she heard Seulgi.

"Where's Nayeon?"

"She needed to meet up with a friend. Her and Jeong are basically on the other side of the city right now."

"Call Rosie here. While Tae and Jisoo unnie are busy with that, we could help on our own."

"Ok?" Seulgi just texted Rosie to come to their place.

They were avidly texting Taehyung in the groupchat for updates when the clicking of heels were heard outside the door.

"I'll get it." Lisa stood up to open the door.

"Hey, Manobangs."

"Be nice. We're already tense."

"Me too. But I'm trying to keep the atmosphere light, play along with me."

"Hey, Rosie." Seulgi greeted, still loomed over her phone.

"Hi, unnie. I have so much to tell you!" The blonde slid her coat off, exposing a thin, white, see-through shirt.

Lisa tried her best not to gawk at the very visible black bralette underneath.

"He came back and left to supposedly see Suga and J-Hope."

"Suga and J-Hope? Who the hell is that?"

"Yoongi and Hoseok oppa. It's what they use publicly for business."

"How about you?" Lisa sat down beside her. "Do you also use an alias?"

"Well..." She suddenly felt embarrassed to tell her.

"Oh and how about your Korean name? Do you not have one? I've never heard Jennie mention one."

"I do! It's just..."

"Oh, I get it. I bet it's super embarrassing." Lisa teased, hoping it would get her to speak.

"No, it's not! I go by Rosé! I picked it when I was younger, okay?!"

"That's..."

"Whatever, I just wanted to sound mature so I picked it."

"...sexy."
