How far could you go for love when the other has already forgotten you and her promises that made you fall in love in the first place?
"You promised me forever"
"But sadly, promises are meant to be broken"
A Second Novel to 'At My Best'
I am still in state of shock after I saw how Lisa gave Mino a huge sway to his face. I really did not expect that she really thought that Mino is my boyfriend. Although I kinda saw how she throws death glares on him but I actually think that everyone already knows that Mino is a gay, I even told it to the Queen so she won't suspect me that I already have replacement to Lisa. And if Lisa didn't knew about it, then the Queen didn't tell her?
"I'm really sorry, Jennie. I promise I will apologize to him too once we get back to Irene's" she uttered while we are heading back to our friends.
"Hey, it's okay. I understand and although I was really shocked that you punched him and that you didn't know he was a gay, I still understand your actions because I always knew you could be that aggressive when it comes to me" I laughed softly as I teased her. It is true, Lisa could be very protective of me when it comes to such issues like getting me hurt. She could really do whatever she can think of just to protect me. And I love her for that.
We are walking in silence, a comfortable one, when I noticed how she's trembling and tries to hide it from me.
"Are you----"
"I'm fine, Jennie. D-don't worry, I'm okay." She cut me off. One thing about Lisa is that, she really feel guilty whenever she has hurt someone. She trembles everytime she feels so uneasy. I remember the last time I saw her like this, it is after she woke up in coma when Hanbin ruined the Christmas Eve Ball before. She really thought it was her fault that Hanbin died and she even had series of nightmares about that. We even had her to a psychologist before she fully recovers.
"No, you're not fine. Believe me. I've been your wife and I swear I know you from head to toe. Just don't think about it. Okay? When we get there, just say sorry to Mino and don't think about it again. I'm sure Minny will understand that" then I saw her nodded in understanding which made me feel relieved.
I immediately fetched my phone to message Irene so she could already explain the situation to Mino and that it won't cause more guilt to Lisa.

I let out a sigh or relief after I talked to Irene. She's really like a sister to me and she always handle things maturely that's why I trusted this on her.
"Are you thinking that I'm a burden to you, Jennie?" She asked. Maybe she noticed that I'm getting worried. And knowing the typical Lisa, she will feel worse whenever she sees me like this.
"What? No. I just messaged Irene and she's scolding me that we are not yet back there. That's all... You won't be a burden, you were never a burden" I almost whispered the last part. I kinda remembered that we're no longer married. I signed the divorce papers and for sure, it was already on process to officially separate us. There are times that I regret doing it, but it was my only way to give her the freedom she was asking.
"What did you say? I didn't hear the last part?" She asked making me feel so nervous.
"Uh... nothing, I just said you don't have to think you're a burden" I managed to utter.
"Jennie?"
"Hmmmm?"
"Nothing...." she said, I know she wants to say something but I didn't push her since I don't want to add more to her stress right now.
"Finally!!" Chae greeted us. We finally got back to Irene's house. Luckily, the atmosphere here has returned to normal- fun and jolly- unlike when we left where it was filled with tension due to Lisa and Mino's fist fight.
"We just catched some fresh air and talked things out" I immediately explained while giving everyone a knowing look. I don't want them to push buttons that will not help Lisa. I looked at Mino and he seems unbothered anymore. He's actually happy and giggling while flirting with Kun.
Really, Mino and his super gay ass.
"Hey, guys... I'm really sorry. I just thought that Mino is Jennie's boyfriend and the moment I saw him kissing Kun in front of Jennie, I thought he was hurting Jennie right in front of her. I just felt so protective so I punched him. I'm really sorry" Lisa pouted and everyone accepted her apologies and hugged her.
"And Mino, I'm really very sorry to you" she added, at first I thought would be cocky but I smiled when he stood up and give a reassuring hug to Lisa.
"I want to be mad at you but if it wasn't because of you, there wouldn't be a Kun here" Mino joked and everyone laughed.
"So, let's go home?" I asked Lisa after it. As much as I want to stay here with them to continue the fun, I know Lisa would be needing me right now. I'd feel so bad if I will let her go home alone.
"You're coming with me?" She asked, she really look surprised. Cute.
"Of course, silly..." I answered and pulled her by the arm and lead us to her car.
We reached the palace in no time and Mr. Yang and Manager Oppa immediately greeted us.
"You sleep, okay? You look so tired, Lisa" I told her as we stopped in front of her room --- our supposedly room as a couple.
"Yea... you too, okay?" She weakly smiled and I just nodded.
I also headed towards my room after she closed her doors. I feel so tired as well. I jusy took a quick shower and prepared myself to sleep. I laid down my bed like it was my first time to sleep in 10 years when I heard a faint knock in the door.
Who could that be? I stood up and opened the door revealing Lisa in her PJs. "Hey, what's wrong? Why are you here?" I worriedly asked.
"Can I sleep with you? I really can't feel at ease" she pouted cutely and that left me shock. I feel like butterflies are going wild inside my stomach. Really? She wants to sleep with me again? After so many years?
"I-It's okay if you don't want to..." I returned to my senses when her face turned into a sad one as she started to walk back to her room.
"Hey, no... I mean, yes you can sleep with me" I called her out and she immediately walk back wearing her precious smile.
"Thank you" and she hugged me tight while gently pushing me to my bed until we both fell down.

"This will be the best night of my life after 5 years, love" I froze on the endearment she used to call me.
'Love'
That was her endearment to me before she lost her memory.
