Only for you

Lisa

"Are we gonna keep playing the waiting game here?" Chaeyoung complained, frustration can be heard in her voice same as Jisoo's expression.

Sign. I close my eyes trying to block my annoyance.

When I open my eyes, seeing Chaeyoung and Jisoo waiting for me to talk makes me feel more agitated about the situation.

"Please calm down, Chaeng. If we keep on arguing nothing will be fix." I heard Jennie says, her thumb grazes my arm.

We are here at the secret room of Phoenix. Rumors are circulating the internet and the media outlets about sexual predators in the industry. The content of the allegations was those people in position abusing their power by offering the aspiring idols for a sure success in the industry in exchange of sexual favors or for the lack of better word sex object or sugar baby. Names were dropped including mine. I know for sure this will get out of hand in time.

"Lisa." Jennie was trying to get my attention, I know she's worried, but with all the things that happened just a few days ago and now this. It's suffocating the stress in both physical and mental aspects slowly crawls in me.

"Guys, can you please leave us for a moment." I heard Jennie asked. The sound of disagreement was heard from Chaeyoung but eventually they left.

After a couple of minutes, arms pulling me gently and I felt the warmth of Jennie's chest on the side of my face. Her scent was intoxicating, its calming. I lean my body on hers and wrap her securely with my arms. My face is now buried on the crook of her neck.

"What do you want to do, Lisa?" Jennie asked while her hand soothing my back. I surrender to her touch and just feel this serene moment.

"I want to stop thinking." I uttered, with all the chaos that's happening around us. Having an emotional break down is not a wise choice especially Mr. Yang was in full force in destroying me. I should know better because I brought this to myself, but as of now I can't find the will to move and fight back. The sudden appearance of my mother opens an old wound and I'm still feeling it.

"Do you want to escape?" Jennie asked out of the blue. I shoot my head to look at her face, my brows furrowed.

"I know there's chaos in here." Jennie said, her index finger on my temple. I'm just staring at her watching her mouth move as she speaks.

"Let's escape. I know a place and I'm sure you'll like it there." Jennie's voice is full of excitement.

"I don't get you. It's impossible and too dangerous to expose ourselves to the public nowadays." I stated.

"Oh c'mon, when did something stops you from doing what you want?" I blink my eyes once twice letting her words sink in.

"I know a trick to fool the public and the people around us." Now she catches my full interest. If she's hinting to have a break just for a little while. I'm down to it, besides I think having a bit of a thrill run through my blood will shake me back to my senses.

"Alright." And there she shows her gummy smile never fails to warm my heart.

"It seems like you're a veteran at doing this. You surprise me, Jen." I phrase. We are about to take off from Ulsan airport going to Hawaii. Jennie's plan works. She managed to trick the crew and her manager after finishing her shoot for her music video at Busan. Her friend Chaehee switch after the final check on her then Jennie manage to sneak out and go to Jin to drive her to Ulsan airport where I'm waiting.

"See I told you, no one will notice us while we leave Korea. By the time they figure out we're already in Hawaii or if we're lucky enough til we get back here." Jennie explained with a smug expression.
