HELP! My Wife is a SPY [JENLISA X CHAESOO X MOONSUN X MINYEON]

63

Jennie stared at herself in the bathroom mirror. She couldn't believe that she had shared the bed with a man last night.

Even though nothing happened between them, it was something she had never done before. She had only ever had a boyfriend in senior high and that relationship got as far as holding hands. Lisa wasn't even her boyfriend yet and not only had they shared a bed, they even kissed!

Jennie blushed as she quickly got changed into a cropped top and a pair of ripped jeans that Jisoo had brought the previous day.

She then brushed her teeth and stepped back out into the lab. However, the lab was oddly quiet. Jennie looked around and couldn't find Lisa anywhere. But, the place wasn't that big, where did he go?

At that moment, some footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs. Jennie quickly looked up and heard some singing, "Happy birthday to you..."

Jisoo, Bambam and Chan had arrived with a cake and Lisa was leading them down the stairs. It was a scrumptious-looking chocolate cake with candles on top.

Jennie was surprised. How did they know?

While Jennie stared at the cake in surprise, Lisa suddenly grabbed her hand and placed a bracelet on her wrist.

Actually, when he saw her profile the previous day, he had spotted her birthday. But, of course, he couldn't let her know that.

"Jisoo noticed some birthday coupons had been slipped into your mail when he went to your place. We weren't sure which day your birthday was, but we knew it was some time this week. I told him to buy a cake for you, I hope you like it," Lisa quickly lied.

Jennie smiled as tears formed in her eyes, "It's today. Thank you." For the past month, everything in her life had been fake. But...this moment suddenly felt very real. This cake was real, her birthday was real and, as she stared at Lisa, she realized, her feelings for this man was also real.

It was a frightening thing to admit to. Especially when she knew that he was a criminal and there was no future for them if he planned to remain that way.

Jennie looked down at the bracelet on her wrist. It was made of a silver metal and there was a little love heart pendant on it. On the heart, there was an odd dotted texture. It seemed, this bracelet was hand-made. "Did you make this?" Jennie asked.

Lisa nodded his head. They had not left the lab since yesterday, so, while Jennie was asleep, he had secretly slipped out of bed and made this bracelet from some metal and chain he found. "I'll get you a proper bracelet after we leave this place," he promised.

Jennie shook her head. "No, I like this a lot," she said.

As she glanced down at the bracelet, Jennie was both happy and sad. Of course, she loved this present. But, the person that gave it to her was heading down the wrong path and she was struggling to stop him.

"Jennie, make a wish," he said as he handed her the cake.

Jennie looked at Lisa and felt her heart ache. "Lisa, I have one wish, can you make it come true?" she asked.

Lisa looked at the woman. What was her wish? How did he have the ability to make it come true?

Jennie took a deep breath and clasped her hands together, "I wish that Lisa won't go to the deal with Niran. I wish for him to quit his job as an arms dealer and lead a normal life."

Lisa looked at Jennie in surprise. It was her birthday and there were so many things she could wish for, yet she was worried about him...

...

Meanwhile, inside his car, Moonbyul had just received a response to his request to track Jennie's phone, "Sorry, the phone seems to be switched off or in a location where there is no reception."

"F*ck!" Moonbyul swore.

He then checked the tracker on the hairclip he previously gave Jennie. The hairclip was at Jennie's home. Was she still home? Did she not see his message, perhaps?

Moonbyul quickly started his car and rushed over to Jennie's apartment.

As soon as he got to her apartment, he started ringing the doorbell frantically. There was a bad feeling in his gut. The last time someone went missing like this, it was Sara, and he still remembered how it felt to discover that she was dead. He had already lost Sara, he couldn't lose Jennie as well.

"Jennie!" he started yelling. "Are you in there?"

At that moment, the neighbour peeked out from behind her door. Another strange man had come looking for Jennie.

"Are you a friend of Jennie's?" she asked.

"Yes, have you seen her?" Moonbyul quickly asked.

"Well, according to a friend of hers, she's on a business trip for another 3 days."

"Did you see this friend?" Moonbyul questioned curiously.

"Yes, she gave him her keys and told him to feed her dog. I saw him yesterday and he'll be coming again today," the woman answered.

Moonbyul felt a little relieved. If something bad had happened to her, she wouldn't have time to worry about feeding her dog. It didn't make sense. But, who was this friend?

"Do you know what time he'll be here?" Moonbyul asked as he looked at his watch.

"2pm," the woman replied.
