LISA

"Priya..." I look up as I've heard them open the door.

"She's gone." I bit my lips as I look down, and pick up something that she must've been dropped.

"What's that?" Jisoo whispered but before the others could see, I immediately put it inside my pocket.

"My mom's Jisoo. I must've dropped it when I was talking to her." She nodded but her gaze never left mine.

"I won't tell them, you don't have to lie Priya." I look down as she patted my shoulder, enough to make me feel guiltier.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled, holding her forearm.

"I understand Priya." She held the side of my cheeks. "You fell for her, right?" I nodded since I have no more to hide. I know, they heard everything.

"But Priya can you focus for us at least just for today? We need to survive. " I held her hand, as her eyes started to moist. All of us had been in a verge of giving up but we can't.

"And we will." Jennie seriously said followed by Rosé behind her.

"How?" Jisoo asked, making the two look at each other.

"Train. Jessi will discuss everything later." Jennie gulp as they look at Jessi gesturing us to get inside the house.

"Stay quiet." Jessi whispered, but no single sign that you can see fear in her eyes.

"Cover yourself with blood. Now." She said as she gave us a bag freshly stored for I don't know where.

"Don't talk, spill blood all over your body and wait for me, until I open the door." She left us, bewildered but with the smell of blood all over, we can't help but drink after spilling them over.

We didn't dare to talk, we silently watch the door if it would be opened yet ot not. Not until loud screams are all over, shouting, broken things and even cracking of woods.

"Are you sure they are not here?" Her voice are too loud for us not to hear.

"Why would I keep them if I know they could be a poison to us?" We look at each other, not knowing what she meant.

"I smell blood. Are you lying to me?"

"You just disturb my dinner." Even if I couldn't see them, I could feel the tension slowly rising.

"I want to see -."

"Stop snopping around. Before my patience explodes." We gulp as we look at each other meaningfully. The crowd went silent as well as their scents fading away.

"You can get out now." Few minutes after, the door click open seeing all of her men intensely gazing at us.

"For now, I want you dead." Jessi smiled as she daggered us in just one swift and before everything went blur, I hear her whisper something I couldn't even understand.

Trying to figure out about someone you long for years is a lot more complicated than getting more intels about the clan you despise the most.

"Miss Lisa, the new model just arrive. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." I snapped out of my thought as my stylist spoke out of nowhere.

"Let's get ready then?" She nodded as she carefully staring at my eyes.

"Why?" I cackled but she just look down as I hear her heart pounding hard. "Tell them I'm on my way." She immediately fled, without looking back.

Waiting is not a problem but when it comes to work, you should at least be courteous not to make someone wait. I sigh before stepping inside the set. All of them bowed as I smiled walking directly where the cameras are.

"I'm sorry for being late." I didn't know she's in the same field as mine. "My manager -."

"Forget the formalities Miss Bae. Its okay." She stayed silent as her brows ark high.

"Let me finish my -." I cackled before walking near her.

"What I'm trying to say is, be comfortable around me." I tried teasing her but she just frowned more.

"I am." She scoffed before giving me a fake smile.

"Really?" In one swift, I pull her closer to me. Her eyes is pretty attractive but it feels colder. "You're stiff Irene. I wonder why?"

"Aren't you're too familiar with me?" I thought she'll backdown, but she even look at me straight in the eyes.

"We mostly soon be together." I tuck her hair behind her ears as I flinch when her hands slowly caress my arm.

"And so? Are we allowed to have skinship now?" I smirk before leaning in just an inches away from her face. I laugh inwardly as her eyes wend wider and moving her head back.

"Get. Off. Me. Lisa." She rolled her eyes as I can't help but laugh.

"I'm just kidding." I whispered before walking towards the PD and photographer.

Once the roll photoshoot started, both of us became consumed and don't care what just happen earlier. The tension nor gap between us vanished, even the slight hostility that she gave me turned into a smoother and friendlier.

She's really professional, and everything she did really fascinates me. From the start to the finale, she did great. She does it flawlessly and I admit, it makes me wonder how does it to be close with her.

"Lisa..." I look back at her before opening my dressing room.

"Wanna grab dinner -." She smiled as I am stunned fwith a sudden change of mind. "I mean early breakfast?" Shyly, she rested her hands on her back.

"Can I drive you home then?" Hesitation had appeared on her eyes but in one glance, she nodded and extended her hand.

"Let's go?" She softly offered, as I smiled as I snatch my bag from my manager.

"Where do you want to -." I asked after opening the door for her. She just look at me amazed and surprised. "want to eat?"

"Near the bar where we met last time." Quietly, I drove. Surprisingly, the silence between us relieve the tiredness we had.

"Irene." I softly uttered as  I unclasped her seatbelt out of habit. I flinch when she's already up as I look at her.

"Too soft for a girl like you Lisa." I gulp with wide eyes, as her hand traveled around my shoulder, slowly tracing my visible bite along my neck.

"What are you saying?" I cackled, trying to brush her hand off and she move too fast, draping her  right arm around my neck while the other one is tracing my collarbone.

"You know, I find you intriguing Lisa. Have we met before?" I gulp as I could feel her breath just along my lips.

"I'm sure this is my first time meeting you." I whispered, as I tried composing myself before fixing her messy hair.

Her eyes traveled from my eyes, down to my lips after smiling seductively. She even wet her lips using her tongue before sliding her hands on top of my chest.































































"Are you certain that you're not one of them?"
