My Arrogant Boss

Chapter Forty-Four

JENNIE

"I saw Yeri," I mumble, not wanting the memory to remind me of the pain I have endured.

She looks at me, patiently and confusion is all over her adorable face. So, I continue. "I saw her going into the hospital room. I th-thought." I stutter. I never know that talking about it again will make me this fragile in front of her, but I don't give up easily. "I thought you would be happy to see her again." I finish by glancing at Lisa who changes her expression to a cold one instantly.

"What made you think that fucking way?" She inquires.

"Before the day, you know. Before you had an accident, we had had an argument, and it was because you went to her house on my birthday. I was angry when I knew about it because you left me, and went to her house." I say more calmly.

She sighs heavily, "I am sorry, Jennie. I hurt you a lot, right?"

I shake my head, "No, compared to something that happened to you three years ago, it is nothing." I smile.

She grabs my hand, kneeling in front of me as I get panic at her action. "Lisa, what are you doing?"

"Jennie, I haven't remembered you, yet. But I know that deep down here, I still have you."

I open my mouth to speak when she stops me by holding her hand up, "I need to tell you everything, okay? Since the day, I saw you at the airport, I have known that you are not just my friend. I know you are more than that, to me. The day, I saw you crying; I instantly hated it. So, Jennie Kim, I know that it is fast for you to decide, but can you give me another chance of taking care of you? Will you believe me again? Will you believe me that after all these years my heart still finds a way to you?" She bites her bottom lip, nervously.

"You didn't date?" I ask.

"No. I didn't date."

"How about your need?" My face reddens with my expected question.

She smirks mischievously, "No. I have my way. Don't worry. I just want you to know that after being released from the hospital, I didn't hook up with anyone."

"Really?"

"You can ask Chaeng."

"Yeri?" Oh god. My stupid question is coming out without any control anymore.

"She is dating someone now." She answers.

"So, when you forget me and remember her. You don't have the same feeling for her as before?"

"No. I can assure you, Jennie. As I said, I forgot you, but my heart didn't." She pouts as she grabs my hand, placing it on her left chest.

I take it back immediately after feeling her fast heartbeats. "You are cheesy." I slap her arm slightly.

She sits beside me, looking into my eyes. "So, where is my answer?"

"Huh?"

"I want to know if you give me a chance to take care of you again. Will you do that for the sake of me, of our own happiness?" She asks, uncertainly.

I have to admit that she is cute when she nervous, so I want to play a little before answering her question. After all, this idiot doesn't know what my answer is even if I am so obvious.

"Lisa, I can't," I mumble.

Her face goes pale and confused.

I have to add some fuel if I want to see the result, "Lisa, you know I can't stay with you becau-"
