It's been a week since the last time I went to the cafe. I'm missing our place terribly. No matter how tired I've been from school, I have always made sure to come by at the cafe. It was like a routine. A good one, actually. Sitting outside the cafe, studying and reading my books after my shift, messing with Kai when he is overly serious and caught up with his own little world while he's concentrating baking our products. It's just a few of the things I am missing. Probably, if the incidents that happened to me and Lisa a week ago didn't occur, I am still doing those things. Even it was hard, it was a decision that I had to make, and the sad part is, I had to involve Jisoo. I had to involve her with my lies for me to be able to get out of the mess. And the lie that came up, is me, being busy with schools. Jisoo and I both knew that this lie would work, as Kai's always say to us, "school is more important." It breaks my heart, lying to the most wonderful person I love. I can't say I don't have a choice because I know from the deepest of my heart, I do have two choices that time. To tell the truth or to tell the lie. I just picked the latter because I don't want to hurt Kai with my stupid mistakes. Also, choosing the latter was the most commodious at that moment. It was a choice that will not make his heart broken, our heart broken. Somehow, the project I was working with Sarah help me covered my lies. It also lessens the guilt I was feeling, because somehow our lies has ten percent truth in it. Jisoo is the only person who knows the real reason why. I've told her everything what happened, the heated kiss that I have shared with Lisa. The heated kiss that almost end up into something much worse. I have wondered that day why Tony didn't follow me to the locker? What did Lisa do after I pushed her hard and left her in the locker bewildered and hurt. Those were the questions running in my head while I was in the cab, on my way to our apartment. Questions that immediately answered when Sarah called to ask me where I was? She pretty believed my alibi. I told her I ran off because I've learned that Lisa was following me to the locker, and I wasn't ready to meet Lisa just yet after the embarrassing moment we had at the cafe during our first meeting. At first, Sarah was shocked at my statement because she did not know about our first meeting. After she realized it in her head, she bombarded me with so many questions, like; "Why I did not tell her? Why just now? What happened to the first encounter? Why is it embarrassing?" So I ended up telling her the truth, so she would believe my reason why I ran off.
After she learned everything, She agreed with me and laughed at my story.

When I ask her why they did not follow Lisa, Sarah told me that she wanted to, but she decided not to because she thought she was doing me a favor. And as for Tony, she pulled him off when they were about to follow me to the locker area. Sarah thought that time that it was a nice gesture to do, and she was doing me a favor. Because Sarah always knew that Lisa is one of the models I look up and admire. But when she saw Lisa got back pissed, Sara realized that she did not do the right thing and made the situation even worse. The good thing about the incident, no one dares to questioned about what happened that day. It was easily forgotten, both Sarah and Tony easily moved on. It may sound strange but I guess both of them didn't want to dwell on the drama I was in with the supermodel.

"What are you thinking?" Startled, I look in the direction where my bestfriend is standing. She's leaning her back on the wall, arms crossed and her right leg is bending to the wall, supporting her whole body. She is wearing an Adidas light green hoodie patnered with her pink Adidas short. We both agreed to wear a casual clothes to the cafe today, just in case Lisa will be there. It is part of our disguise. Because we wanted to look younger than our real age. A smile forms on Jisoo's lips as I touch my chest, feeling the heaving of my heart. Scoffing, she starts walking towards me. Her positive aura gives me feels. Feeling of lightness and positiveness. Today is the first day I will go back to the cafe, and I am not sure if I am ready. Ready to meet her again. I've learned from Jisoo that Lisa and her friend become our constant customer again since the incident happened. She said that they have an area already reserved for the two, because they don't want Lisa to cause some ruckus. Same as before, Lisa did not ask where I am. But Jisoo said that, she can tell by just looking at Lisa's gesture how much the supermodel wants to know my whereabouts. That is why after a week of hiding from Lisa, Jisoo came to a decision that I need to go back to the SIP and face Lisa to avoid more complications and questions from the supermodel. As she said, "If you continue hiding, the possibility of her conclusion would be strong. That you and the woman she met in Paris is the same person. And if that happens, there is no going out. You know how powerful she and her family is. If you keep delaying your meeting, she will become more curious, but if you face her sooner than later and deny everything, we can still make her believe that you and the woman in Paris is two different person. Our way of getting out from this mess is big." It may hard to admit, but Jisoo was right. Facing the supermodel is the best option that we have.
