Love Comes Unexpectedly (A BlackPink Series I)

LCU23

While drawing near to Jennie, Lisa's soft and warm hand slides Jennie's arm, then she takes, Jennie's hand in both of hers as she mutters, "Please, tell me."

For a long moment Jennie and Lisa gaze at each other, you can hear their pounding hearts beat in unison. As if Jennie's free hand has its own mind, it slowly runs through Lisa's face, wiping the tear running on Lisa's face.

"I'm sorry." Jennie's eyes landed on Lisa's shoulder, she then noticed Aidan and Kai across them. Both men have a look of surprise on their faces.

Slowly the facts begin to seep through Jennie's mind. She starts to take a step away from Lisa.

Sighing, Kai begins walking towards Lisa and Jennie, focusing his eyes only on Jennie.

"What is going on here?"

Startle as she seems, Lisa glances Kai and then to Jennie.

"Nothing Kai." Jisoo said cheerfully, trying to hide her amazement of the situation. "As usual, Ms. Manoban here mistakenly thought Ruby as someone she knew."

Kai looks at Jennie, then Lisa. He wants to see Lisa's face, and watch her expression, but the model face is bowed down. "I see."

"Did you get your key?" Jisoo interrupts.

"Yeah." Kai looks at Jisoo, then he shows his key.

"Great! Can we go now?"

Glancing at Jennie, Kai let out a deep breath. "Sure, but we go first to the car, Chu. Let's give them time to sort this little misunderstanding."

Jennie holds Kai's arm, gazing at Kai she says. "I'm going with you."

Jennie's statement makes Lisa's head tilts. Her surprise expression is evident. "Please, let's talk."

"We have nothing to talk about, Ms. Manoban." Jennie looks at Lisa. Her expression is blank. "Just like what I told you before, I am not the woman you are looking. Hopefully, next time we meet you will spare me from this kind of disturbances."

With a heaving heart, Jennie skids away from Lisa. She is aware that she hurts Lisa's feeling, but what can she do? She can't let herself hurt Kai. Not at this moment, at least.

That's what happened?" Rose asks. They are now in Lisa's guest room and Aidan is telling her what happened outside the restaurant earlier.

Rose never had the chance to talk to Lisa earlier because after she called Aidan and asked where they were, she already found her best friend in the back seat, with her eyes closed and headphone on. She decided not to bother Lisa despite the curiosity building in her. She and Aidan respected the temporary wall that Lisa created while they were on the way to her penthouse. It was hard for Rose to watch her best friend in that state, but Rose knew that it was needed at that moment.

"I thought we were done with that already. I thought she's over her and she will just focus on the woman in Paris." Rose sigh, slamming her body on the soft bed.

"I think that's what she wants. That's why she didn't accept the bet you've had propose. I think she really wants to be far away from her as possible." Aidan explains.

"If that's what she really wants, then why she keeps insisting that the woman in the cafe is the same woman in Paris?" Rose sits, spreading her arms wide. "When clearly, the woman she describes in Paris is far from the woman we saw in the cafe. They have different styles, not to mention status."
