High School Again: The President's Secret Lady Boss | Jenlisa

33. Changing View

Much like Jennie, Lisa barely made it on time.

She eventually reached the location that was given by the bodyguard she assigned to her.

The situation that greeted her was nothing short of how horrendous the entire idea of it alone. She was thrown in aghsat shock and immense panic, and if it was not for the petrifying sensation that welled inside her after seeing Jennie at the verge of falling, she would have been too frozen to move.

'Ms. Kim! Hold on, Ms. Kim!' was what kept running in her mind that whole time.

With the bodyguard and the security of the building in tow, Lisa rushes all the way to the balcony where Jennie and Rosé are.

By the time she arrived, both of them were about to slide down and fall together. But before that happened, she immediately came to their rescue and seized a hold on her.

"Ms. Kim...!" Lisa exclaimed as soon as she got near to them.

"Hang on! I'll help pull her!"

"M-Miss Manoban..." Jennie breathed out shakily, feeling so relieved that it seemed like ten years of her lifespan have returned.

"I can't anymore! Please, take my spot! Please! Please!"

"Calm down. I'll do it."

With her strength that was indisputably superior, she was able to haul both of them out of the danger zone and back to the balcony.

They dropped on the floor with a loud thud, panting a little and shuddering in exhaustion at the same time. She only watched them regain their bearings for now. Questioning them will have to come later out of consideration of them.

And so, only silence prevails between the three of them for the next seconds to come.

"You stupid woman!"

That's all until Jennie breaks the said silence, taking Lisa and Rosé aback.

She finds the need to resume her anger outburst earlier. It doesn't matter if she's still tired from all the heavy-lifting or traumatized by the scene she's forced to behold that time. She'll give her a piece of her mind right then and there.

"And here I thought you were in an accident! What the hell is this?! Why did you come up with this whole stupid stunt?!" Jennie proceeded to bolt out furiously.

"A-An... A-Accident?" Rosé blurted out with a puzzled look.

"Ms. Kim, calm down..." Lisa tried to cut in between them, unsure of what had gotten into her all of the sudden.

"You're still not in a state to shout like that–"

"No, she's gonna hear me! I was mad because she did not even try to lift herself up! She was really thinking of falling!"

At that, Rosé could not help but cast down her haze and blush in mortification–her own actions have registered in her head only then.

Seeing her guilt-ridden and ashamed expression, Jennie finally finds the will to calm down a little. She gets that she realizes what she has done at least. It's not her place to continue reproaching her or give her a long-winded lecture.

Rosé must have her reasons for doing this.

"Still, you should not have done that. You should never do that - never ever again..." Jennie muttered underneath her breath, furrowing her brows together and lowering her head for a but–looking like she was pleading.

"You may not know me, Ms. Park. But at the very least, please know that I'm one of those people who thinks that your life is precious."

Rosé has fallen into silence for a moment.

She is at a loss–uncertain of how to respond.

Then, like a cascade, her tears suddenly begin to stream down the sides of her face, doing all the talking in her stead. She then starts to cry and breaks down into these small, delicate pieces–she appears so vulnerable and fragile. That is only when they get a glimpse of the possible cause behind her action.

She is in a lot of pain.

At that realization, Jennie decided to settle down for good. She only turned to comforting Rosé from that point on, showing a gentler side of her compassion.

For that whole time, Lisa has not said a single thing–she remains speechless and stunned as she begins to form a different view of Jennie that is not against her will.
