Can I not answer?" Jennie smiled and walked over to him. She looked at the photo frame that had been placed on the bedside table and took it.
She gently stroked it with her hand. "No matter what my previous life was like, it was my past. I wanted to move on and look forward to the next day with joy instead of wasting time remembering the past."
Lisa pursed his lips and didn't say a word.
"He should be asleep by now. I'll go pour a cup of tea to get rid of your hangover." Jennie decided to change the topic and walked out.
Ten minutes later, she walked back to the bedroom with the freshly brewed Awakened Tea. Lisa was already sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning his head against the headboard. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
Jennie was stunned for a moment before hurriedly walked towards him. She carefully placed the cup on the table and observed him under the dim light of the bedside lamp.
She saw that he had fallen asleep. Jennie carefully pulled the thin blanket and lightly covered Lisa's body. Her movement didn't wake him up.
Lisa seemed to have something on his mind today. However, he was still as calm and unfathomable as before, making it difficult for people to see through him. The coldness around him was also much stronger than before.
Silence reigned in the dark bedroom. Jennie lowered her head and looked at the photo frame beside her without moving for a long time.
***
Early the next morning.
A knock on the door awakened Jennie.
She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. Lisa, who was sleeping on the other side, also lifted his hand to rub his forehead that was sore from the hangover last night.
He opened his eyes for only a second before turning to look at Jennie with a calm expression.
"Jennie, where did you put my toothpaste?" V's voice was accompanied by knocking on the door. After half a minute, when he realized that there was no response from the inside, he began to knock hard. "Jennie! Stop sleeping! Come out! Where did you hide the toothpaste?"
Jennie's mouth twitched as she stealthily glanced at Lisa's expression. He still had a headache.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Jennie whispered and took his hand when she saw him get up from the bed.
"Open the door." Lisa spoke lightly and was about to continue walking towards the door.
"No way! Stop! If he found out that someone had appeared out of nowhere and was staying here for the night, he would definitely be mad!"
As she said that, Jennie quickly jumped out of her bed and held Lisa's hand tightly with one hand. Then, she placed her body in front of him to block his path with her other hand. "You can't open the door!"
Lisa frowned. "Jennie, sometimes I really can't tell whether you're a coward or not. What's there to be hidden?"
"Who cares if I have the guts! Of course, I have my reasons for not letting him find out that you are here!" Jennie looked Lisa in the eye, then turned to look at the door, which had been knocked so hard that it shook.
"Jennie Kim? Are you awake? What were you talking about? I didn't hear you clearly!" V knocked on the door impatiently. He tried to turn the door handle. "I'll come in!"
His hand turned the door handle twice, but he found that the door was locked!
V's expression froze as he lowered his head to look at the door handle with a strange expression. He then turned it a few times and realized that it was really locked!
'This woman is sleeping in his house, and she dares to lock the door? Who was she defending against?!'
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
"Jennie, open the door!" V pounded on the door. "Open the door right now! Did you do something shameful? Did you hide a gigolo in your room? Open the door!"
It was originally just a joke from him, but it caused Jennie's face to turn deathly pale. Lisa looked at her face expressionlessly. With a cold smile, he pushed her away and went to open the door.
"Don't open it!" Jennie quickly raised her hand to stop him.
V heard her voice, but he can't hear it clearly. He frowned, feeling even weirder. He asked curiously while sticking to the door. "Are you unwell? Why are you speaking so softly? Could you open the door for me? If you are sick, I will take you to the hospital!"
Jennie stopped Lisa and shouted at the door, "I'm fine! The toothpaste is in the third box under the washstand. I put it there yesterday and forgot to take it out! I had too much to drink at the party last night, and now my head hurts. I don't want to get up! Don't worry about me!"
V, who was standing outside the door, dispelled his suspicions when he heard her words. He looked back at the bathroom with the toothbrush without toothpaste in his mouth. Just as he was about to go back and brush his teeth, he heard a strange noise in the room and stopped abruptly.
"Jennie, open the door and let me in." V said lightly as he stood outside her bedroom door.
Jennie initially thought that he would honestly go brush his teeth and get ready to go to work, but she didn't expect that he would retreat after just two steps.
Jennie immediately raised her hand and scratched her head in annoyance, then glared fiercely at Lisa, who had a calm expression with both hands on his chest, as if he were watching a good show.
