Lucas' POV

"Father, can I help Lisa and Jennie to the ranch?"

I cannot just let Lisa make her moves whilst I'm here. I cannot lose this time. I want her to feel what I felt when I lost Irene.

"You can but not until next week. Mr. Smith is here in Korea to invest in our company, I want you to set up a meeting with him, I need to go to Melbourne to see how's our company there."

Next week? Lisa will have Jennie by herself for a week? Bullshit.

"Sure, but how about our company in Paris? Is it doing good? Why didn't you just ask to me supervise Jennie so that Lisa can go back to Paris already."

I need to hear something bad about Lisa. I just want to hear it.

Dad stopped typing in his laptop, he removed his reading glasses then he looked at me while I'm sitting in front of his desk.

"That's not our company anymore. To answer your question, it's doing great than before. Your sister is great than we all thought."

Here we go again! Praising her like she's a saint. Damn it.

"What do you mean it's not our company anymore? You sell it to someone?"

"That someone is Lisa. She used all her money in her bank account to purchase it. Now, Manoban's construction is number one in Paris. That answers your second question, I decided to send Lisa with Jennie because I know she can make Jennie easily familiarize how to run a ranch."

I gritted my teeth as I stare at my father. He indirectly said that Lisa is better than me. He talked about Lisa like she's only the Manoban seed. I really don't like this, father praising her.

I took a deep breath "Sure. Just call me if you need something."

Jennie's POV

When I woke up, Lisa is already gone. I panicked a bit but I heard faint noises from the kitchen. She's must be with the rest.

I woke up a little late because it's already eight in the morning. I had a great sleep. We should hurry up because there is a huge huge ranch waiting for us.

"Look at them. I told you, they are cute together."

"I know. You should have taken many pictures of them. I will show that to their kids someday."

Dave and Dylan are talking while looking at something on their phone while they are sitting on the kitchen stools. I spotted Lisa cooking with her earphones on. These two monkeys are still oblivious of my presence, I stood behind them and snatched the phone from Dave's hand.

"Jennie! Give that to me." He tried to chase me but I run back to the living room

"Let me just see what you were looking for." I said

He stopped chasing me while grinning at me "Okay. Just give it to me when you're finished. I'm just in the kitchen."

I frowned. What was that? That was weird.

I looked at the phone. I felt my cheeks heated up in what I am seeing. It's a picture of me and Lisa sleeping, hugging each other while Lisa's lips were pressing against my forehead, my head snuggled to her neck.

This picture is.. so sweet.

Walking back to the kitchen with blushing cheeks, I gave Dave his phone back which earned me teasing statements from them, like how we looked good together, that we should marry as soon as possible.

Lisa is still oblivious of what's happening to her surroundings. Still busy cooking breakfast. I wonder where are my friends.

"Dyl, is Rośe and Jisoo awake already?"

"Yeah, but they went out to look around. We'll fetch them after soeur finished cooking." He answered, smiling

I nodded and walked over to Lisa. She's humming to the music playing in her earphones.

I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind "Good morning."

She turned her head around and took off one of her earphones "Hello there, mandu."

She's still calling me mandu.

I giggled "I said, good morning."

"Oh, good morning too, Jen. How was your sleep?" She nuzzled her nose to mine making me giggle

"I had a great sleep, thanks to you."

She nodded "Join Dave and Dylan there, breakfast is ready at any minute."

"But I want to hug you." I pouted

Great, what is happening to me? First I'm clingy now I'm extra sweet. For just fucking five days.

"Soeur is not going anywhere, Jen. Join us here." Dylan said

I forgot that they are still here. I gave them more reasons to tease us.

"This will be quick, okay?" She pecked my nose "Dyl and Dave, fetch Jisoo and Rośe already." She said to her twins "You go with them. Spend your free time with your friends, after lunch we'll start our work."

I tiptoed and kissed her lips for three seconds "Okay."

Her lips are addicting. Making me wanna kiss her all day long. I think I'm obsessed with her lips, with her whole being.

Dylan pulled me away from Lisa "That's too much PDA for now."

~~

We saw Jisoo and Rośe talking to the people while petting the stallions.

Rośe is so fascinated with a stallion that has the same color as her hair. We had a hard time convincing them to go home, we just mentioned that Lisa cooked fried chicken that made Jisoo giddy to go back. Her chicken obsession strikes again.

By the time we arrived at the mansion, we heard Lisa laughing with someone. I found myself smiling just hearing her laughter.

"Then he said to me that he never wanted to see my face again."

That's Nayeon's voice. She's here again. No, I don't feel any jealousy anymore, after Lisa assured me.

"Yow! Yow! Yow! Monkey Nayeon is in the house!" Dave joked, patting Nayeon's head

Lisa motioned me to come to her and I did. She held my hand and pulled me to her lap. I blushed, everyone is watching us.

Nayeon swatted Dave's hand from her head "Don't touch me." She then looked at us "We're in front of the food, stop that." She said but I didn't miss the wink she sent to me

Little we didn't know that Jisoo and Rośe started to eat already. Just a while ago they doesn't want to go home.

"Hmm. Lisa, you cooked this?" Rośe asked, referring to the pork-back bone stew "It can take you to another world, it's delicious."

"I told you, you will like soeur's cooking." Dylan said

I saw Dave looking at us, slightly frowning. Am I doing anything wrong?

"Yes, that's my favorite actually."

Lisa kissed my cheek before letting me sit on the chair next to her. We all ate breakfast in bliss. Before this day ends, I need to talk to Dave.

I'm trying to update as much as I can. It's so hard to write and compose when my heart is broken. My grandmother died just last week and it's still hurt.
Thank you for all the positive feedback from you, guys.
