The Traps of the Black Swan

133

Ruby Jane and Jisoo waited to hear something or the other thing from Mino but he was quiet as a mouse. Jisoo didn't dare to utter a word as his neck was under the butcher knife. He least wanted to provoke Mino so he poked Ruby Jane until she asked.

Ruby Jane hesitantly asked, planning to cheer Mino later as Lisa was likely to be unavailable for dinner, "Does she have a... boyfriend?"

Mino breathed out a long sigh throwing his head back to rest, "Yep"

Jisoo was about to hit his head against Ruby Jane's shoulder but the girl was already doing the same on his arm causing him to smile irrespective of the situation.

Staying together for three years, the three have many common behaviors of each other which they usually do only in their presence. He excitedly suggested trying to lift their moods up, "Hey, let's hit the amusement park today."

The three birthdays were always celebrated in different ways in those three years. Jisoo was throwing a huge party, Mino was choosing fun places like amusement parks having crazy rides and As Jennie, she chose to go on a trip for a day or two to travel.

Mino liked it, Ruby Jane thought to rearrange her schedule if the two plan. Anyway, Jisoo and Mino looked at each other and said in unison, "Seungri."

'Ugh' Ruby Jane facepalmed and suggested, "Let's murder him. I will kill him, you, clean up and you, clear the evidence." She pointed at Jisoo and Mino as though they were really doing it.

That was the only way left for them to freely enjoy as Seungri had his eyes on them and he won't leave the two men if he gets a single clue that she is in contact with them.

The two men looked at each other and burst into laughter looking at her big pout of annoyance. "My Dum Dum is so cute."

"My Little Heart doesn't even know the world." He petted her head.

They were teasing Ruby Jane when Tia peeked from the bedroom to know why they were laughing. Ruby Jane saw her first and went to her to apologize.

Tia looked nowhere but Ruby Jane and hugged her. Jisoo and Mino immediately stood up expecting Ruby Jane's panic attack.

They rushed to them seeing Ruby Jane's hands tremble slightly but she cued them to stop before she wrapped her hand around and another hand brushed her back.

"I am sorry, we didn't know you had a boyfriend else I wouldn't have let you be in Mino's room."

Tia felt utterly embarrassed to face Jisoo and Mino but was slightly better with Ruby Jane so she faced her without understanding what Ruby Jane meant.

Ruby Jane continued with a frown of concern, "Doesn't your boyfriend treat you well? Why haven't I seen him calling you or seeing you at the shop?"

Tia glanced at Mino who nonchalantly sat back on the armchair and Jisoo was walking back and forth grumbling to himself.

Tia revealed with a pout keeping her voice low, "No, he doesn't treat me good. He is too overbearing and... We haven't exchanged our numbers yet." She answered truthfully.

Ruby Jane: "..."

She felt like some stupid guy fooled Tia and he might not be loyal to her either. She wanted to use a bad word for him but controlled, "Who is he? How did you meet such a scummy man?" Anyway, a bad word left her lips in anger.

Mino almost choked on his spit hearing Ruby Jane. Tia peeked at Mino and pointed her forefinger at him, "He..."

Jisoo who was pacing stood at her pointed finger and froze. He immediately took steps behind before gazing at Mino. Ruby Jane followed the line of her point to see the scummy overbearing man.
