Forbidden: A Tale Untold (JenLisa)

Part 9 - Despoiled

"Finally! Whoa! I'm so tired." Jisoo raised both her arms and stretches like a cat.

"Seriously, Jisoo. All you did was just finishing all the snacks and lazying around." Lisa teased.

"Hey, somebody's gotta need to finish all those precious yummies you know."

"And no wonder you look like a blob." Lisa snickered.

"Yah! You mantis!" She tried hitting Lisa but the girl ducked and ran away. "Come here you, you long legged monkey."

Lisa made a face and dash away, dodging and ducking from Jisoo's short hand attack. All I can do was just shake my head at their antics. Ignoring them, I just continued tagging all the boxes that will be delivered to Bangkok National Museum tomorrow. They will then be processing these and displayed it in the upcoming 60th Anniversary Celebration.

A knocked at the door stopped us. The door opens revealing Roseanne smiling widely.

"Hello unnies! Long time no see." She speaks cheerfully with her heavy Aussie accents.

"Hey Chaeng! It's been so long! How are you?" I ceased what I was doing and went to greet my old friend.

We were quite close during our college years, Roseanne, Jisoo and myself. All graduated from University of Melbourne under the faculty of arts. Roseanne was under the media and journalism, Jisoo under the arts, humanities and social science, and I was in my master of history.

"I'm good, I'm good. Damn, it's been so long. How'd you do, Jennie unnie?" She hugged me as I came close before releasing me and hugging Jisoo as well when she came to greet Roseanne too.

"Never been better. I've miss you. We should catch up sometimes. How's Liam?" Her more than gorgeous fiancé. He was part of the gang back in campus days.

"We ended about a year ago." She simply shrugged.

Both Jisoo and I gasped.

"That's horrible. What happened? Did he cheat? If so, let me punch his perfect face for you." I offered more serious than joking. Roseanne only laughed at my reply.

"It's nothing like that, unnie. It's only a matter of distance and ambition. He was busy chasing his dream in the state and I am here busy chasing mine. In the end we both decided to end things, in a good way of course. We still remain good friends and all that." Roseanne was calmed and amused and that made me believe her. "Anyway, we do have a lot of catching up to do. Let's go for sunset viewing in Asiatique. You'd love that place." I just nods enthusiastically at her suggestion.

"I'd love that."

"And how are you, Jisoo unnie?" She turns to Jisoo who's about to smack Lisa's head. Lisa noticed and ducked safely and ran far away from her.

"Splendid!" Jisoo turns to Roseanne as well and gave her a full mouthed grin. "Though Chae, why did you assigned a monkey as our tour guide?" Jisoo teased.

"Hey you little blob! I heard that!" Lisa came closer and tried to smack Jisoo's arm as a retaliation. Jisoo kicked Lisa's shin and she hollered in pain.

"Lalisa! Be nice." Reprimanded Roseanne.

"Be nice? Did you saw what that little blob did to me? I can't even walk now." Lisa was giving Roseanne her puppy eyes with a pout. She looks too adorable.

"Stop being dramatic. You can carry more than your weight in a seating. That simple poke won't effect you at all." Roseanne rolled her eyes.

"Poke? You call that a poke?" Lisa now was sulking cutely.
