The Devil's Sweetheart

64

Standing in front of Jennie's unit, Seulgi's blood was simmering with irritation. Narcissistic brat. She must be having her beauty sleep.

He has keyed the password twice but each time it says incorrect. He quit going for a third attempt to not alert the security and they would come running behind him even if he is her relative.

What's wrong with this annoying sister? She is being secretive now changing the password? Little did Seulgi know, it was Lisa who has changed it seeing Rosé constantly barging into the house now and then from yesterday.

Even when Seulgi called her, the mobile ringed, but it was not picked up by Jennie. His panic grew when he sensed something might have happened to her again. There was no one with her on the day she was tormented by Ethan and when he was back, the damage was already done and he lost the happy and funny going Jennie. She became a broken doll. For days, she did not speak with anyone silently crying in that room.

He promised Francy that he would take care of her but he failed. Not once, twice and for a whole year, Francis did not speak with him and he accepted the punishment. Only when Cutie was born, Seulgi earned little brownie points and Francis slowly started to talk with him.

He brushed that terrible memory which only left pain. It's not time to dwell on that matter. Right now, he has to catch his sister red-handed if she is pulling out any naughty activity.

His patience was thinning and finally, after pressing the intercom multiple times, the door was opened. He was nearly ready to reprimand his sister for being careless but not a word came out of his mouth when he saw a tall person standing in front of him. His jaw dropped to the ground and his eyes bulged out of the socket.

Lisa!

What is he doing here!

Did I enter the wrong house?

Seulgi's face went pale as if he was visualizing things. He thought he was taking a walk on the wild side when he saw his friend here.

There is no way, Lisa would be here, right?

Since yesterday night he was restless whenever he remembered Jennie's voice. He couldn't accept the theory when she told him that she screamed because of a cockroach. He could sense there is something odd about her voice.

Although Jennie sent a message right after the call ended and reassured him that nothing has happened but his mind was in unrest and due to the tension, he has been hitting the bathroom continuously. He wanted to visit right after he talked with Jennie but his annoying daughter has committed another mischievous activity again and he was tending to her. Right when he woke up in the morning, he rushed to see Jennie but never in his dreams he expected he would see his friend the moment the door was opened.

It must be a hallucination. I must have come to the wrong place.

"Sorry, Lisa. I was intending to go to my sister's house but I must have come to your house by-"

"Lisa...Where are you? I am hungry. Breakfast is on you today." A sluggish voice followed by a figure entered Seulgi's eyes. For a second, words muffled and he froze seeing the picture before him.

It can't happen. My sister...Lisa...together? What are they doing in the house? One nightstand? But both are not such kind of persons. Am I dreaming then? It must be a dream.

Even Jennie was shocked to see Seulgi here. She instantly woke up when she missed her warm comforter and when she glanced at her sides, Lisa was not in the bed. She quickly got up to check for him in the living room but what Jennie did not expect is her brother has appeared.

"Seul..." She sucked a breath of air anxiously after getting caught red-handed by her brother. She was ought to give surprise but every time she was getting the surprise when she wants to introduce her family to Lisa, just like Francy.
