Gods and Demon Assassins

21. Betrayed

JENNIE

"So what's up?" IU asked as we both sat next to each other, far from Jisoo and Lisa's table after I healed Lisa's hand and Mrs. Taeyeon started her class but I didn't have any intention of listening as I got curious about Jieun's feelings for Lisa. "But wait, first of all, I want to clear everything, I liked Lisa before, but now I do have a love interest and it's not Lisa nor anyone in the squad."

"Well actually, I don't care if you like Lisa or not because I'm confident that Lisa only has her eyes on me."

"Yeah, too much confidence but there's no lie." She said chuckling and we both leaned back on our chairs. "So tell me, what do you wanna talk about?"

"Are you also an assassin just like Lisa and Jisoo?" I asked and side glanced at her. She twitched her lips and shrugged her shoulders. 

"I am the one who brought Lisa to our world."

"Oh, I see." I deadpanned and looked at Jisoo and Lisa's side when Lisa talked too loudly, garnering the attention of some of the students and Mrs. Taeyeon, who shot Lisa sternly.

"What are you thinking?" 

"I was just thinking about how to make Lisa quit her job." I answered and shifted back my gaze at her, she was raising her left brow when I met her eyes, as if she's silently asking me if I'm being serious. "I'm ready to live as an ordinary human just to be with Lisa but I need her to stop from killing people."

"I get where you're coming from, but you need to know something about Lisa." My forehead wrinkled and tilt my head on the side in confusion, IU telling me this so it means that Lisa has other secrets to reveal? "I'm actually not in the right position to tell you everything, but Lisa herself does not know herself."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you this, because I only found out after Jiyong saw you with Lisa."

"Who's Jiyong?"

IU took a deep breath then she smiled sadly and looked at Lisa. "She works for demons."

"Who? Jiyong?"

"No, bitch. It's Lisa, and Jiyong is our demon lord..."

My face fell faster than a corpse in cement boots, in that instant, my skin became pale as ever, my mouth hung with lips slightly parted and my eyes were as wide as they could stretch. My brain seems to stutter, short circuiting for a moment. 

"And Jiyong is her real dad."

"W-what?" I almost whispered and I barely heard my own voice. "H-how did it happen?"

"Ok, listen carefully and please don't hate your father as you already know, but I can't blame you if this will be the reason to despise your father even more." IU said and I squared my shoulder and cleared my throat, as if I was readying myself for a big revelation of the century. "So Jiyong is really the strongest deity then your father came and dethroned him, your father threw him out of heaven and the brotherhood of thorns adopted him even if they knew who Jiyong."

"Wait, hold on, I'm having a headache." I said as I squeezed my temples and circled around my fingers in my forehead. 

"You think you can handle the revelation?" IU asked gawking at my reaction from what she had revealed.

"So you're telling me that my father and Lisa's dad had a fight and my father won and then he kicked Lisa's dad out from heaven?" I asked and she nodded as her response. "Then who is Marco?"
