A chance to be happy again

Part 21

-How was your day?.- Jennie asked, spreading out the bed and crawling under the soft blanket, exhausted from grueling rehearsals.

-Speaking of that, we need to discuss something.- replied the restaurateur, unbuttoning her shirt as she exited the closet connected to the bedroom.- I had a meeting today with a lawyer and a representative from a company specializing in security.. But I need your permission for further actions.

-What exactly are we talking about? What actions?.- the idol asked, looking at the girlfriend with a slight sense of apprehension about the upcoming conversation, genuinely fearing Kai.

-First of all, I must warn you that this whole process can get quite messy..- Lisa began, sitting on the bed in just her pants and top, smiling gently at the girl.- But you don't need to worry about anything, I promise. I'll use all the power, money, and connections I have to protect Jasmine. The lawyer rates our chances very high, but to start working, he needs your consent and your signature on a document that will be sent to court. He recommended not to delay to be the first in court and have the advantage of the «first shoot». Do you think you can meet him this week? I would like to have all the documents ready for further actions before you leave for the tour. I would be much calmer if you were safe and out of South Korea. Do you mind? The lawyer can handle the case in court himself..

-Yes, of course. When would it be convenient for him?.- Jennie replied, delighted with the confidence in her lover's voice, without a shred of doubt in her.

-I don't want to be THIS person, but given the amount of money I pay them and their long-standing desire to get Manoban as a client, they would be ready to come even at midnight.- the Thai woman whispered, kissing her temple and intertwining their fingers.- You don't need to worry about it anymore.

-You really don't need to pay... This is my mess, and I can pay the bill.- the girl muttered, closing her eyes and feeling guilty.- I understand that for business, all this mess is terrible in terms of good publicity, and your parents will be upset, won't they? Your family built all this on their own, and I don't want to be the one to destroy it.-

-Hey! Don't even think about saying that.- Lisa said firmly, gently lifting her chin, sincerely hating everyone who had ever hurt this beautiful angel.- I didn't want to say this like this, but damn... There is nothing more important to me than my family, and you and Jasmine are part of the family. I love both of you, and one day I'll get down on one knee. I love our lazy weekends together when we ignore the damn world. I love coming home and hearing Jasmine's laughter. I love when we just hug after a hard day. I love how in this relationship we are equal in everything. I deeply cherish all those special moments when you quietly whisper your most cherished ideas and thoughts. To me, there is no one more beautiful, charming, caring, and attentive in this world. I thought the perfect girl was a myth, but after meeting you and getting to know you... it's you. You are the ideal, baby. I am in love with you, with all of you. Nothing and no one is more important to me than you and Jasmine. If I have to sacrifice my money and name to protect you, then so be it. Just let me do this. Moreover, if you refuse, my father will fly here tomorrow, yell at me, and handle it himself. After all those meetings, he also loves you and accepted you into our family. Our conversations often revolve around you now, not business..

-I love you..- Jennie whispered, tears in her eyes, not believing her happiness.- I love you so much!

-No more fears, okay, dear?.- the restaurateur smiled, leaving a light kiss on the familiar lips, feeling relieved after expressing her feelings.- We'll deal with all this crap with your ex, don't doubt it. You'll conquer the world again when you return to the stage. Jasmine will continue to delight us with her achievements. And I'll keep making money. How do you like this plan for the future?

-It sounds perfect, but let's focus on my hot and undoubtedly bossy girlfriend..- the idol muttered, pulling the girl closer and starting a passionate kiss.

-Who are these guys?.- Jisoo asked, waiting for the two tall and strong guys to step outside, continuing to laze on the choreography room floor. -I haven't seen them before..

-They're responsible for my safety now.- the idol replied, pulling out her phone to text her beloved, smiling defiantly.- If you-know-who tries to get closer to me or to you than allowed, they'll break something for him. Honestly, I don't know them yet, but they seem like professionals with whom, unlike YG bodyguards, I feel completely safe. Because I have no doubt their priority is our safety, not the company's. Oh, I forgot to tell you, during the entire tour, they'll handle not only my safety but also our group's..

-She hired a security service for you?!.- Rosé whistled in admiration, once again amazed at how well her friend was being cared for.- Correction, she hired them for us?

-She also hired a lawyer to sue Kai..- Jennie replied, taking off her hoodie, her cheeks reddening.- Isn't she wonderful? Lisa understands the world we live in and is ready to face it just to protect me and us from all this crap. As she said herself, she knows we can't do anything ourselves because we're bound by contracts that restrict us in many ways. But she isn't limited by anything, she has money and opportunities, so she wants to use them for good..

-What will be the next steps?.- Jisoo frowned, knowing how cruel society can be.- If that undoubtedly stupid bastard uses tabloids, there will be chaos. Chaos that could harm not only our reputation but also hers. I understand that the business world is much more tolerant of this kind of crap, but still...

-I'm meeting the lawyer during lunch today, so I'll find out all the details then, but Lalisa wants the trial to start when our tour begins.- the girl said, tying her hair and starting to warm up.- We only have the first concert in Seoul, and then there are dates in Asia, Europe, and America. By the time we're home, the trial will be over, and all the shitty tabloids will switch to a new topic. So we'll just need to wait it out. As for her reputation, although I tried to convince her to take care of it, she doesn't care. It seems all she worries about is our and Jasmine's safety...

-Good morning, girls! Ready to start?.- the choreographer asked with his usual smile as he entered the room.
