chapter 14

lisa's p.o.v

I'm still looking at my dad, speaking with a wide smile on his face, along with his two sons and his wife. only his current family knows that I'm his daughter. i never spend time with him nor called him dad, well there's this one time that i called him dad. it's my 7th birthday and even if he came late in 11 pm and there's no other people around i asked him if he can sing me happy birthday.

"dad, can you sing me the happy birthday song? you know? since you're not here earli--" I'm looking at my dad with beaming eyes, I'm so happy he's not here! he always told me back then that he's going to go to one of my birthday parties soon! but he never did, i try to understand him since my mom said he's busy with work and my brother, although i haven't seen him never in my life. i want to know if he looks like me and dad. "lalisa, what did i told you?" my mom look down on me and smiled, i forgot. i can't call mr marco dad since he's a very famous man! and we don't want those people with cameras knows! at least that's what mom told me. i bowed my head at mr marco. "I'm sorry, sir. please don't leave before 12 since it's still my birthday after all" i look back at him and he smiled and pat my head. "sure, lisa. by the way, i got you some present" my eyes got wide, i have never got any presents from him. i took the box from him and run to our couch to open it. "well, hanbin? your brother? he don't like that very much so I'm thinking you'll like it" he told me and i heard mom told him something. "we're not some charity case that you can put your garbage whenever you want to! you're gonna give lisa some gift that your son doesn't want? what do you think of her? some reject pile?" i heard mom but i can't understand her, i mean i just turned 7! wow I'm nearly 8. i smiled proudly knowing that someday I'll be 8 and 9 and 10! i open mr Marco's gift and I'm in awe. it's a watch! and it's too big for me but I'm still trying to make it fits. mom walk towards me and pat my head. "you know, it's fine if you don't like that" i look at her and shake my head. "no, i love it. although it's too big for me" she chuckles and i look over her and I can't see the man that's standing there earlier. "Mr marco left already? he haven't said his farewell" i look at my mom again with teary eyes. she nodded her head. "but you said, i should never leave someone without saying my farewells, right?" my mom can only nod. "but how come he can?"

i look at my feet and smiled bitterly remembering that night, i cried the whole night because of that. i saw my older brother, hanbin. he's my favorite one, mom said he's older than me by a month. he's always nice to me, growing up we don't have that much. he always give me his old things up until now! that's why I'm fond of him. i noticed that he looks at me smiling and when he looks at the girl beside me, his look changed, like confusion or something. i look over at jennie and she looks the same, Jennie is now tugging my shirt indicating that we need to go now.

i tap jisoo on the shoulder and told her we're gonna leave for a moment and she just nodded. me and jennie left the venue and goes to jisoo's car. "hey, what's wrong?" i ask her and she looks frustrated or confused. "you're related to him?!" she told me with a whispering shout, i just nodded and look at her with farrowed eyebrows. "why? what's wron-" she cut me off. "my mom wants me to marry him, yes. hanbin" my world stop and every time the world stops, it's always a bad thing. at least for me.

"what do you mean?" I'm confused right now. "well, my mom owns him big time and he like me for some reason and wants me to marry him" she told me while fidgeting her fingers. "it's that why you came with me all the way from here?" she nodded and look at me with pleading eyes. "how come you guys are related?! i mean i didn't know that hanbin is Sir Brüchweiler's son!" she told me and run her hand to her hair.

"jen" a man's voice interrupted our chat, and there i saw my brother. "hanbin" the girl in front of me answered him with wide eyes. "how come you're here? your mom is very much worried" he's starting to walk towards us and i stopped him from walking more closer to jennie by stepping forward. "oh, you know my friend, bro?" i ask him and he just smiled and pulled me into a hug. "lisa, how i miss you. you've grown! you're as tall as i am. and yes, i know jennie kim, an international model" he was about to walk past me when i pulled him to a hug again, i need to think of something. "sorry big bro, i just miss you" he chuckles and pulled out. "it's all right, well i didn't know that you're friends with my fiancè" he told me with a smile on his face.

i look at jennie and she's just staring on the floor. "fiancè? really?" i ask him and he looks at me once again. "yeah! why? don't you believe me?" i just chuckles. "why don't we talk about this at the island at kai's wedding, i miss my friend jennie here and it's been a while since we haven't catched up things. you know, salon and stuffs. is it all right for you, big bro?" i ask him with a smile and he just nodded, bringing himself closer to jennie and hug her with his one arm, jennie pulled out after a couple seconds and hanbin smiled at me and jennie.

"i understand, by the way i hand jisoo a sneakers from japan" he told me and i smiled at him, he's thoughtful and still bring me some gifts. he looks at me then jennie and bid his goodbye I'll get going, girls. see you at kai's wedding." he told us and kiss jennie on her head, after he leaves we both sighed and I'm so damn thankful he brought my excuse.

"are you okay?" i ask the girl beside me and she nodded.

"thanks for saving my ass once again."
