Jennie
For the next month that followed, Lisa became buried deep in work handling different business deals as well as managing the Parks' empire on behalf of Chanyeol who was indisposed as he had informed me but he always made time to be home for dinner and twice we were joined by Bambam and Jackson who entertained us with their witty stories and memories of their childhood days together. Rosé and I became close during this period of time and since Lisa was working a little later than usual Rosé always offered to stop by and keep me company.
Ever since Rosé's admission on Lisa and her emotions, I started paying more attention to her actions. She may not love me as deeply as I loved her but she did care for me like no one else did before. As the days passed, I am left with the thought and hope that every day she would care a little deeper and fall a little harder so she can finally love me the way I loved her.
Sometime in the afternoon Rosé dropped by with a container that was filled with samples of amazing looking dishes.
"I had no idea you can cook." I said to her as I bit into one of the most delicious scones I have ever had. Sipping her tea, Rosé paused with a teasing smile, "You assumed I have help."
Heat scorched my face as she laughed at my expression before continuing, "A couple of years ago I spent my summer in Italy. Lisa and the boys did...well what they do best and Chanyeol's mother taught me both traditional English and Italian dishes."
"They all knew each other for such a long time?" I asked Rosé, prodding for more details on Lisa.
"Lisa and Bambam met when they were 8 and shortly came Jackson and a few years later came along Chanyeol. Ever since then they became inseparable. Both Lisa and Bambam grew up in Thailand, so we all spent a few summer vacations in Bangkok before dividing time amongst the many island beaches that Thailand is renowned for. Then they both went to Korea for further studies and that's where they met Jackson and Chanyeol. However, I met Chanyeol for the first time when I was 19 and since then I've only had violent murderous thoughts about him but without my biased opinion, those four are thick as thieves. They are more than just best mates and their bond are stronger than what they probably have for their own family. They would simply do anything for each other."
"Lisa is so lucky to have them." I said.
"Did you have anyone that close to you while growing up?" Rosé asked.
A sad smile overtook me as I shook my head, "Not really, it was just my mum and I and after everything..."
As if understanding she squeezed my hands in comfort, "Well I guess destiny was just telling you to wait for me. You have a friend in me, Jennie and I can't wait to introduce you to Talia, Bella, Hyeri and Olivia."
"I would love that." I said giving her a watery smile.
"Trust me you would not." Lisa said appearing out onto the balcony as the evening sun shone down on her smiling face.
We were deep into our conversation that neither of us had heard when she exactly came in. Placing a kiss onto my forehead she went over to hug her sister as Rosé slapped her arm.
"And what is wrong with my friends?" Rosé huffed in annoyance.
"The very same thing that is wrong with you." Lisa teased Rosé as she punched her hard enough for Lisa to wince, "Bloody hell Rosé, are you an underground fighter?" Lisa asked rubbing her sore arm.
Ignoring her comment, Rosé turned back to me, "Are you coming to the party on Saturday, Jennie?"
From my confused look she glared at Lisa before I responded that I had no idea what she was going on about.
