A few hours earlier, Lisa and Rosie had a chance to discuss things while the two, Jennie and Jisoo, were catching up. After celebrating Rosie's birthday, they decided to work on severe matters while Lisa and Jennie were still in South Korea. They will fly back to Thailand when the sun sets in.

Rosie: Lisa, as your best friend, I always worry about your safety, and now... *looked at Jennie and Jisoo from afar* you are with her. What is your plan? You cannot involve her in this matter. It's dangerous. You are putting her life at stake. *deep sigh while sipping wine*

Lisa: I know. I understand it. I asked her to stay here in Korea, but she would not listen to me. *looked at Jennie while smiling because she caught Jennie looking at her, too*

Rosie: You know what might happen if you guys get caught or she gets involved. She might be the next target *knocked on wood* What you are after is a global syndicate. Many agencies are after them, too. It is not just between you and the murderer or somebody else. *sipped a more extended shot of her wine*

Lisa: I will protect her, Rosie. I made a promise to Unnie. I will do everything I can to protect her. I promise. *sighed at the thought of how she would do it if tasks were about to come*

Rosie: You are taking everything at risk again. *puffed some air after realizing that whatever she tells her, she will not listen*

Lisa: This will not be like the last time, Roseanne. *sat comfortably while staring at Rosie*

Rosie: Does she know about Kaia? *whispered when she mentioned the name*

Lisa: What does she have to do with her? Come on! *changed her tone suddenly and got irritated* Don't ever mention her name again. I do not want to hear it.

Rosie: Oh! Calm down! *She caught Jennie looking at them because the latter heard Lisa's voice. It was louder than usual.* She could hear us. Calm down. I am sorry.

Lisa: Ugh. I am sorry. I did not mean to yell at you. Let's change the topic now, would you? *Checks the time. It's almost evening. They have to leave soon before they get caught by authorities*

Rosie: Here's the route. I know you are aware of it, but you must constantly be reminded. Avoid the mountains and check these marks here. *points at the map* Be approximate all the time. You have to get on these marks so the radar won't see you.

Lisa: I am a trained pilot. You do not have to tell me that. *smirked*

Rosie: But sometimes you are stupid. If they catch you flying the Hawker, we are all dead! Put that into your sill brain! My work is also at stake here. Jesus! *she knew Lisa's just kidding, and she just wanted to go on because mentioning Kaia in the conversation was terrible. She felt guilty. She also played a considerable role many years ago.*

Lisa: Yeah! Aigooo! I will be careful. But Rosie, seriously, thank you for all the help you have given me. I cannot do all these things without your help. *hugged Rosie, and Jennie saw it, but she smiled and mouthed, DON'T GET JEALOUS, JUST A BESTIE HUG*

Rosie: Crazy! I will talk to Jisoo now. You better prepare now. Bring everything else that you need. *laughed heartedly*


A FEW HOURS LATER...


Jennie: Hon? Are you there? I have been talking here, and your mind is somewhere again. *looked away and tried to fix her bag instead*

Lisa: What are you saying again, honey? I am sorry I was not paying attention. *pulled Jennie closer to her. They are on the sofa. Jisoo and Rosie went out for a bit to pick up some deliveries from the reception instead of asking the person to deliver them to her unit*

Jennie: I said, what's our plan starting tomorrow? What should I do, and how can I help you? You have to guide me through everything. I want to help you, hon. I do not know how. *tried not to give in to Lisa's kissing on her shoulders. She still felt bad because she was not paying attention to her.*

Lisa: Mhm. Come a little closer here, hon. *she pulled her and let Jennie rest on her* Honey, the only thing you have to do is to listen to what I tell you. Just like how we do it on the bed. Hahaha! *could not contain her laughter because whenever they are together, they always 'make love,' and now that they are at Rosie's loft, they cannot.*

Jennie: Ughhh! Not here! *Softly tapped Lisa's arms wrapped around her* They will be back in a few minutes. Crazy! *could not contain her laughter, too*

Lisa: How many hours has it been? I cannot wait to get back to our place! I will make sure you cannot walk the following day! Hahaha! *teased Jennie while trying to put her hands inside Jennie's shirt*

Jennie: Ssshh! Behave! Not here! *pulled Lisa's hands, but she always liked what she was doing to her.* Don't you even realize the camera is just right there? *pointed at the CCTV situated on the wall*

Lisa: Okay! Okay! I am just teasing you. Hehe. *landed a kiss on Jennie's face and ears* I love you, honey. I love you so much!

Jennie: I love you more, hon. *gets Lisa's hands and kisses them* These are the hands I want to hold forever. I hope you do the same. *let Lisa hug her tighter*

Lisa: And you are the only person I want to spend my life with forever, honey. I love you so so much. You do not know how much. *landed another kiss on Jennie's side forehead this time* Whatever happens, I will stay with you and protect you, Jennie. *her heart is just about to explode. When it comes to Jennie, she always feels too much of everything, including happiness that she could not contain*

Jennie: Aww. You always make me speechless, honey. You have a way with words. I love you. I love you. *looked at Lisa and kissed her passionately*


With a single word

And a gentle touch

You turned a moment

Into forever

And I know you could fall for a thousand kings

And hearts that could give you a diamond ring

When I fold, you see the best in me

The joker and the queen
