Protecting You // JENLISA

LISA POV

Once I'm headed home with Miyeon I literally had 22 miss calls from Jisoo in which I ignored. I know it's her birthday and I probably shouldn't of been annoyed but the fact that she hid it from me really just makes me think that I really am not her best friend am I.

Now I just wonder , if she can hide a whole relationship she still kept with Rosé even though she had told me they're over then I wonder what else she could lie to me about. At this point I'm just in a horrific mood.

"You okay babe?" Miyeon says as she gets into bed behind me

"Yeah I'm all good , you okay?" I smile at her because she's genuinely been here for me.

"Listen whatever that Jisoo situation was , forget it , friends will come and go but I'll always be by your side , just consider me as your best friend" she smiles as she kisses my shoulder , I was generally touched because she's been here for me and she's actually a good person.

"Okay forget this whole shenanigans , I think we need a holiday , where do you wanna go?" I ask her

"Hmm Hawaii?" She smiles back but god why the hell would she say that

"Anything but Hawaii please babe" i turn over to face her in bed

"What's wrong with Hawaii" she responds with her eyes squinted curiously looking at me

"I've been too many times I wanna go somewhere I haven't gone , any other suggestions?" I question her

"Okay umm the Maldives?" She responds , again I went for my honeymoon there but I'm not going to complain , I'll make new memories in the Maldives.

Why do I keep remembering Jennie when I've got someone golden next to me , who's actually treating me right , I need to honestly forget her which I was doing before Rosé came.

"Hold that thought Jisoo's calling me" she says as her phone rings

"Don't answer forget that , come on Maldives let's book it now" I respond before she could even look at her phone , Jisoo's just annoyed me because I would want to be here for her when she was going through the long distance thing with Rosé and how she was struggling

Yes I know that I was going through stuff but I would of pushed that aside for her but instead she kept it from me.

Jisoo: you asshole answer the phone at least here me out.

I ignored her call again , not right now I just have too many thoughts in my head.

Lisa: stop calling me and spend your birthday with Rosé , I'm not mad at you I'm just confused. Miyeon and I are going to the Maldives for a little holiday. Take care

I respond because deep down I feel like Jisoo hid it to protect me or not to make me feel bad the same way Irene does it to me with Seulgi.

Although I'm happy for my friends it upsets me that they think that way.

The next morning I'm off to work , as soon as I walk in all the employee's stand up and bow to me , they're actually terrified of me , I've lost my temper and my anger has been worse since my divorce so all the employee's see me as a cold person , before that everyone used to mess around in the office until I took a stand to it.

I know I let my divorce destroy me but each and everyday I'm trying to pick myself up. I just have too many things left undone and so many things unsaid , no explanation as to why Jennie wanted the divorce and she just left. Like it destroyed my self esteem to be honest but I won't dwell on it anymore.

"Boss you have a meeting today at 3.00" my assistant says to me as she walks side by side with me.

"Thank you" i respond before unlocking my office door and walk in and shut the door.

Before I could even turn my computer on Jisoo storms in

"Are you actually serious?" She questions me as she storms to the chair opposite me

"I'm not mad at you I'm just a bit hurt you had to hide it from me Jisoo , I should of been there for you as well" i sigh which changes her face she looks sad now

"It isn't your fault I guess I'm bad at expressing myself but I wanted you to get over Jennie , I know Rosé is so linked to her so I didn't want you to like feel crap around me , I should of told you and for that I'm sorry" she sighs

"It's fine I'm over Jennie anyways , I see a future with Miyeon, she's what I needed" I smile

"And I'm so happy , she's perfect for you" jisoo chuckled

"So did Rosé leave?" I ask her

"Yeah she left this morning , she's been here for 3 days" Jisoo responds sighing but accepting her reality

"Have you like asked her to perhaps stay here? in this country? We aren't getting younger chu, if you found the one you should both settle together" I ask her which makes jisoo rub the back of her neck

"She won't , her loyalty to Jennie is too high, I keep asking her like are you in love with her why are you staying with her all the time? like they're supposed 'sisters' since high school or 'besties' whatever they are but they literally are with each other every minute of the day and it irritates me"

"Don't you think that's insanely stupid? Like is she seriously like choosing Jennie over the person she's in love with?" I regretted saying that because I didn't want Jisoo to think I'm bitter but it's the truth.

"I don't know we argued so many times Lisa, like I can't get myself to leave her I love her too much but it does hurt me I feel like she's also stuck in the middle so I always try and just enjoy the time I get with her" she says with tears nearly to her eyes and now I felt so bad.
