Morning came and Jennie found herself staring blankly at the ceiling. It took one night to feel like her world is falling apart again.

Lisa picked her up early to catch her first class. The ride back to the dormitory was awfully silent. Last night, Jennie decided she will just bear few more weeks and be done with it. She might not treat Lisa the way she treated her before but she can be civil with her.

Just like that. The winter break started and now it is almost over. They are now back at their apartment to prepare for Jisoo's last play for the school. Speaking of Jisoo, the woman with 4d personality did not even celebrate her birthday with Jennie. The older said she wanted to feel warm so she went on a trip to the Philippines for the holidays. They never really spoke on what happened that night. Jennie assumed it was not that important but when her dad asked her what feels about Jisoo's arranged marriage with Song Jong Ki, she knew she messed up as her bestfriend.

In 4 days, exactly after Jennie's birthday, she will meet Elisabeth again. She has been thinking a lot lately. She is blaming herself for not having the slightest of idea of what's happening around her nor even to her bestfriend. She is not being a good friend. Letting Jisoo suffer alone while she did was complain and create imaginary problems until they become real. The woman she saw at the wedding, she must .....

Jisoo: Yah! I gave you my chicken. Just say yes!

Lisa: No. I'm busy.

Jisoo: No, you're not!

Lisa: Jisoo yah. I can't do it. I don't like singing in public.

Jisoo: You'll be dancing most of it. I am begging you Lalisa M. Manoban. I need you. Please say yes.

Lisa stood up from the dining table and walks toward the sink to wash her plate.

Jisoo: I'll give you Jennie.

Lisa: *almost dropped her plate*

Jennie: *choked*

Rose hands a glass of water to Jennie and rub the smaller young lady's back who is now glaring at her best friend.

Lisa: She's not yours to give. *said without emotion*

Jisoo: Fine. But can you do this for the benefit of 327 abandoned kids? I know you have a big heart Lisa yah.

Lisa: Do you really have to use the kids?

Jisoo: Well, it's for the House of Love Foundation. The foundation my mother build and I will be taking over after graduation. So yes, I'll use them to gain more donations.

Lisa: You sound conceited but I understand what you mean.

Jisoo: Yes! That's a yes. Now, we have the prince charming. *bites her fried chicken happily*

Jennie smiled at her friends. Lisa spent her late afternoon and the whole day after. She'll play the prince charming since Mina, the one playing princess, wants a woman to be the prince instead of a man. She said she's not comfortable kissing a man anyway. Rose will be playing the witch because Jisoo said, people will remember villains more than the lead actors, like Maleficent. That should help boost Rose's popularity if she really wants to be a singer after graduation. That woman is so lucky her father never stops her from doing what she wants. That's probably why she is like that, taking away her food is the only thing that upsets her.

Everything is ready for the play. Jisoo is busy entertaining the kids while the performers are getting dressed, some are practicing their lines back stage when the school president came in with a good looking man who is quite familiar to me.

Mr Yang: Kids. Please do your best. Mr Tae-hyung Kim, the president of M Corp will be watching.

Tae-hyung: Nice to meet you all. Good luck on the play. I'll be cheering for you.
