So It's You [COMPLETED]

III. White Lies

LISA'S POV

  It is really late at night, the house is dead silent. I do not mind switching on the lights. I go straight to bed. I am quietly crawling so that I will not disturb Joohyun.

  "Manoban, what on Earth happened to you? You are late and you did not even care to send me a message." She tirelessly said. I did not expect her to be still awake.

Well, I tried to compose myself. This is the first time I would be lying to her. Forgive me, Joohyun. I don't want to argue with you right now. This is just nothing. Just catching up with my old friend. But why do I feel so guilty about it?

"Oh, honey, I am really sorry. My phone shut down." I carefully spooned her. And kissed her neck.
"Let's sleep, save your nagging tomorrow. I love you."

"I love you too. Good night." She yawned.

"Good night."

I spooned Joohyun, I always feel so home around her. I am so comfortable whenever she is beside me. I could smell her shampoo. And I slowly felt sleepy.

IRENE'S POV

I wish I do have all the energy to nag Lisa tonight. But I am too drained and sleepy. This is the first time she go out to meet someone and has gone back this late. I don't want to pry about her meeting. It is just probably a complicated client.

But as a woman, I have this instinct that she met someone. Probably a woman, I can distinguish the scent of expensive perfume. Lisa smells so good but something is off. And it is not her usual scent.

I can hear her little snores right now. Then suddenly her phone got message alerts. She just told me her phone shut down.  She did not even change her clothes. I am trying to look for her phone. I face her and give her a peck on her lips. She is probably too tired today. Good thing you're adorable.

  JENNIE'S POV

I am too happy because everything is back to normal. It is like that time freezes and skips the sad part that I don't want to recall. Lisa even brought me back all the way from Gangnam. I think I did not thank her enough for tonight. I am also worried about her. I am not sure how long will she be driving. She has not sent me any messages until now. So I decided to text her.

   Lili, are you home, already? Please drive safely and text
me once you are home. Thank you for seeing me tonight.
I am really happy.

I sent the message but I am still not satisfied.

   I hope we can hang out soon. I really miss you a lot. I love you, Lili. Good night 😍😘😘

I don't think Lisa would mind me being extra sweet and clingy. We used to be inseparable. We are best friends after all. And I cannot contain my longing. I am only like this towards Lisa and I know she isn't really that showy type or outspoken but she has her way of showing me through her actions. That is the main reason Lisa and I became really close.

I go to bed happily. Kai is already sleeping. I also checked the kids before going to bed.

I have an almost perfect life. Kai is a perfect husband except for his ego. I know he is just being the father material to his kids even he is lacking as a husband. He works hard for our family. I have three adorable kids. And now Lisa is back in my life. I could not ask for anything more.

IRENE'S POV

Her phone alerted again. Who on Earth will text Lisa this late? Even her clients do not text her this late. Finally, I fished out her phone from her back pocket. I am really sleepy but annoyed with the sound of her phone.
