Jennie was almost at the office when Rosé called her once again.

"Boo hoo~ Jennie~. Help meee~. *sob* S-someone is bullying me here. *sob*"

Rosé's crying sounds could be heard. She sounded so pitiful that Jennie's heart squeezed tightly. "Rosé, what exactly happened?? Who bullied you?" Jennie was suddenly transformed into an overly protective sister.

Jennie was indifferent with other people but towards those whom she cared, she would protect them at all costs, like a mother lion protecting her cubs.

"Jennie... C-come here.. *sob*"

"Okay. Okay. Where are you?"

"I-I was hold captive h-here *sob* at the airport's s-security office. *sob* they said... they said, they will sue me!! Waahhhh!! Jen~"

"Shh.. It's okay. Don't cry. I'm here. Nothing will happen to you. Stay there, okay?"

"*sob* Mmm.. Okay.. I-I'll wait for you. Come quickly."

"Okay. I'll hang up. Behave." Jennie immediately stepped on the brakes and made a U-turn. Few minutes later, Jennie arrived at the airport. She walked towards the security department and went inside the office. There, she saw Rosé sitting on the chair. She looked like she was a trying to argue with someone. She was pouting. Due to anger, her face had turned into scarlet red like a ripened tomato, ready to harvest.

"H-how dare you!! Why would you sue me? My surname is 'Park'! I'm the precious princess of Infinite Airlines!"

"Miss Park, my client does not wish to have a conflict with Park family, but you have crossed the line and assaulted my client." The man with eyeglasses spoke professionally.

Jennie's brows wrinkled. 'I knew it. This bratty princess made trouble again.'

"Jennie." Before it escalates to another level, Jennie immediately went towards Rosé.

"Jennie~ boo hoo... You're here."

Like a kid who finally found her savior, Rosé raised her head and cried pitifully. She hugged Jennie and said, "Jenjen... Look.. *sob* they are bullying me.. Boo hoo~ the Manoban Family is bullying the Park Family.. *sob*"

'This Manoban Family again? What is wrong with them?? They always bully the weak.' Jennie's eyes narrowed when she heard that the man was a representative of someone from the Manoban Family. "I am Jennie of Kim International. On behalf of my friend, I would like to apologize."

"I am the legal representative of Mr. Manoban of Manoban Corporation, Wen Tao." said the man with the eyeglasses.

Jennie and WenTao shook hands. WenTao faced Rosé and said, "Miss Park, my client does not want to make this a big issue. If you could properly apologize and promise not to harass my client again, Mr. Manoban won't continue to press you any charges."

Jennie looked at Rosé. "Harassment? Rosé, what did you do?"

Rosé averted her eyes and looked down. " Rosé.."

"I was just... I was just trying to get back what he stole."

Rosé' whispered, she sounded like a mosquito.

Jennie, who was near her fortunately heard her words. "Stole? What did he steal?" Jennie suddenly eyed Wen Tao as if telling him that it was his client who was the offender in the first place.

"He stole... He stole swhshwh..." Jennie was not able to hear Rosé's words this time.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I said he stole my heart!!!" Rosé was puffing her cheeks because of shame and anger.

Jennie, who was currently staring daggers at WenTao, froze. She snapped her head back at Rosé. She glared at her and said, "Apologize."

"Noo!" Rosé stubbornly refused.

"Do you want me to leave you here or accompany you to jail? You choose." Rosé suddenly felt scared.

"Noo~ Jenjen.. Don't leave me here alone with these bullies."

"Apologize."

Rosé glared at the man with eyeglasses. Then she grudgingly said, "I'm sorry."

WenTao wanted to say, 'Is this how you apologize? So unwilling.' but before he could say it, Jennie already beat him to it.

"Won't Mr. Manoban give face to Kim and Park Family? I hope your client won't take it to heart. He is a man, I'm sure he knows how to be a gentleman."

WenTao was suddenly choked to death. If he pressed this issue, aside from not giving face to the two families, wouldn't that mean his client does not know how to be a gentleman?

WenTao could not make his own decision. He called his client and informed him first. After a few conversations, the man with eyeglasses ended the call. He then looked at Jennie and said, "My client accepted Miss Park's apology, Miss Kim, hoping that... Miss Park would.. *cough* uphold her promise."

Jennie glared at Rosé. Rosé's eyes suddenly wondered everywhere, not meeting her eyes.

"Jenjen..." Rosé grunted.

"Fine. But I want to know the name of that man." Rosé smiled brightly.

'I must know his name at all cost!' Although he knows Rosé was just fishing some information, WenTao doesn't have a choice but to answer.

"His name is Manoban Jis------" Suddenly, one of the airplanes landed on the airport, making Jennie unable to hear what WenTao said, but she did not care. She didn't want to be associated with anyone from the Manoban Corporation.

They were already outside when Rosé suddenly suggested, "Jennie~ I wanna go to your house!"

Jennie stopped her tracks. She immediately turned down Rosé's request, fearing that she would see Lisa there. "No. Let's just go at the nearest café."

"Nooo~ I wanna go and see your house!! Pretty please~ mmm? mmm~" Using all of her aegyo[2], Rosé acted like a little spoiled brat, swaying Jennie's arm. Having no choice, Jennie decided to call Lisa to 'go away' and escape first. But he was not answering his phone.

'Maybe he was busy and outside the house?' Thinking of Lisa's disappearance once in a while, Jennie was pretty sure he was not at home.

"Fine. But you better behave or else I will abandon you."

Rosé Nodded fast, making herself dizzy.

-------

Lisa has fallen asleep inside his room. He stood up and went down to the kitchen to cook.

Jennie would be returning home an hour later, so he must prepare the food early.

When he was walking down the stairs, he heard two voices speaking. One was from Jennie and the other one was from an unfamiliar woman whom he didn't know.

He wanted to go back to his room, thinking that Jennie would get angry at him if someone saw him at her house, when he heard the woman said, "Mino gege missed you.. Aiyaa~ Jenjen, wasn't Mino gege your first love?"

Lisa suddenly wanted to kill that bastard called Mino gege.

'Another fly trying to snatch what's mine!!' Lisa unceremoniously walked towards them and kissed Jennie on the cheeks.

"Love, you have returned?"

Rosé's eyes widened.
