She Was My Wife || JenlisaxChaennie

18. IT WAS JUST PAPERS

Jennie's POV

It's been a month and Lisa has been very busy. Sometimes she's sweet, sometimes it feels like she forgot she had a wife. She hadn't been intimate with me because she comes home very late and tired. Sometimes, she goes home drunk. I had a feeling that she's having an affair because one time, I saw a lipstick mark on her dress shirt. She also changed her cellphone lock code and his wallpaper. Sometimes I heard her having a call with some and she was laughing and said "I miss you too. I'll see you tonight." And that night she went home very late and showered before crawling to bed. I was trying to deny to myself what I'm feeling and trying to distract myself with my studies.

Today, I woke up without Lisa. I didn't even know if she went home. I was so tired from crying to even that I haven't heard the alarm I set. Shit! I'm late for school. I hastily went up and shower then dress up to go to school. Then I got a call from Yuna. "Jen, the class is starting in 5 minutes. You know we're lab partners and we have a report today right?" Oh noh, It's today? Good thing my eye glasses are thick, they won't recognize my eyes easily. "I'm sorry Yuna. I overslept. But I'm on my way. I'll be late for about 10 minutes." "Just be careful Jen. I want you here in complete pieces. Okay? See you." "Yes, thank you Yun. See you" then I hang up.

Arriving at school, I walk fast to our building then to our Chemistry laboratory. Walking down the hallway, I thought I saw someone familiar walking to the entrance of the director. But I was in a hurry to my class so I havent have time to check who was it. Coming in late, Dr. Seo, our professor, had us report our assignment which we gladly did.

The class was done by around 11AM and Yuna and Lia had gone to another lunch. I was thinking of inviting Nayeon, but knowing that her class will end later at 1pm, I have to be alone for now and maybe go home after. I took my things and went out thinking of pizza. I have been craving about it since this morning.

I was walking out of my class today when I bumped with Chanyeol. Oh my God! It's feels like it's been ages. And seeing him today, I miss Rosé so suddenly. Jennie! he hugged me and I returned his hug. "Chan. I missed you. What are you doing here?" "I had a meeting with Dr. Hwang earlier. I missed you Jen. How are you?" he smiled like how Rosé does when she's happy. "I'm fine." I answered as I try to ask myself, Am I really happy? . He stared at me like he was reading me. I suddenly felt nervous. I know he had mastered psychology and he can read my mind like Rosé does. "Are you free right now? Lets have lunch." I nod nervously. "My class for this afternoon has been cancelled. I guess we could have the remaining time of the day to catch up." He smiled brightly or excitedly? He's that happy seeing me? "Okay. Wait. Let me just call somebody." "Okay." He went to the farther side to make a call then he went back to me after. "Let's go Jen. We are also going to meet someone." He said. I just nodded. I needed to take my mind away from Lisa.

We arrived in an expensive Italian restaurant. Just right, the pizza here is very luscious. The waiter took us to a round table with three chairs and cutlery set in a private area with a balcony. Chan offered me a seat like a real gentleman. The last time this has happened was when Lisa and I had a date for our monthsarry being wives. Now, it's been 4 months since that happened. Chan sat on his chair telling the waiter that we will order upon the arrival of the third guest. Chan then started to stare at me and frown. "Jennie, I know you're not okay. Jen, I'll still be your big brother even if things didn't go as planned. Tell your big brother about it." My eyes started to water. I haven't told anyone about what I'm feeling. Even Nayeon, I wasn't ready to tell her. She's been busy with her thesis and I know she'll get riled up if she knew. But Chanyeol has been my older brother eversince Rosé introduced him to me. And him being a Master in Psychology, I know he knows it's about me and Lisa. Chan.. I.. I don't know where to begin.. I think.. I think Lisa is seeing someone.. I saw her shirt, her phone. She always comes home late. She doesn't spend weekends with me saying she had important meeting or event. I don't know.. I just-" He suddenly slammed his fist on the table. "I know that bastard! She can't be trusted!" "Calm down, please.. Brother." I know he never liked Lisa. But he calms down when he hears me call him brother. He likes it when I call him brother. "I'm sorry, little Jen. I just don't want to see you hurt. You know how precious you are to our family. My family is yours. You can't blame me if one day I killed her if she hurt you." Then my tears suddenly flowed like a river. I am very overwhelmed. I have other people who loves me more than I can think of. I haven't cried this much in front of anyone in a long time. I didn't care if someone would see us. I just wanted it out. Chanyeol then went near me and hugged me. "Jennie, why don't you go and confront her? Let her know how you are feeling. And when it's all clear, that's when you have to decide if you should go or you should stay." "I can't leave her brother. I love her and I have vowed to be there for better or worse." I said between my sobs. "Jen, I know you have fallen for her and promised a lifetime. But please, it was just papers. We can change that. Jen, you can't live a lifetime full of lies. You won't be happy for the rest of your life. Jennie, please, think of yourself too."

We were so engrossed that we didnt hear the door opened.

"What's there to confront? Isn't it obvious? She has playing with you." We both looked at the door and there I saw no other that Chanyeol's sister. Rosé.
