Only You ??

Chapter LII

"Jisoo's right, Lis. You should know that. Just stay by her side and cheer her up all the time. She must be really stressed out and you have to do something to relieve that stress bago mag-graduation." Seulgi said suggestively. Dahyun nodded her head as she agreed on what Seulgi said.

"Thanks, guys. I really need some advice right now." I chuckled softly and caressed my nape shyly. Jisoo wrapped her arm around my shoulder kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. "That's what friends are for, Lis. Isang bucket lang ng chicken, okay na ko." Jisoo said followed by a loud laugh.

"Sapatos lang ako, Lis. Size 8." Dahyun requested.

"Size 9 ako, Lis. You know what I want, mah men." Seulgi then followed.

I shook my head as we all laughed at their silliness.

Jennie's POV

"Jen?" I heard Wendy called me as she closed the door.

"Here, Wends." I raised my hand to waved at Wendy para makita niya kung nasaan ako.

We're currently at the rooftop of our building. We decided to meet here instead of any other places, wala naman kasi gaanong nagpupunta rito kaya safe naming mapag-uusapan yung pag-uusapan namin.

She sat on the floor next to me as she handed me a recorder. "All of our conversations last day are saved in this device. Walang labis, walang kulang." Wendy smiled at me weakly with a bit of nervousness and panick in her eyes.

I smiled at her as I took the recorder on her hand.

Last week, Wendy told me that she wanted to tell me something and I didn't expect that that something has to do with my relationship with Lisa and with her obsessed ex-girlfriend.

Hindi ko alam na sa ganto pa hahantong ang pagmamahal ni Mina kay Lisa to the point that she has to used people just to take Lisa back and worst, she's willing to kill people just for that.

"Thank you for your help, Wends." I thanked her as I stood up but Wendy held my wrist.

I looked at her and saw worried in her eyes.

"Jen, don't do this. Mina can harm you. Or worst, she can kill you. That's how obsessed she is over Lisa. People might be thinking that she's an angel but it's the total opposite." Wendy said and stood up in front of me.

Wendy told me everything. She told me how Mina planned all of these just to get my Lisa back kaya we decided to make a plan too. That was for Wendy to meet Mina and record their conversation. I just want to make sure that I have proof before I go and confront her.

"I have to do this, Wendy. She will never stop bothering us and threatening you if I won't do something to stop her. She has to stop." I determiningly said with confidence.

I'm nervous a bit but I still have to do this. It's for our own good and for Wendy's freedom.

I never planned to tell Lisa about this. I don't want her to get involve in this problem even if she's the main reason why this all started because I know she won't let me do this and confront Mina by herself and I don't want her to get near that girl.

"But Jennie, this is dangerous. You don't know how harmful that girl is! She's a psycho, Jen and she believes that only Lisa can cure her which we believed her at first because she only acts normal when Lisa is around. But since you came, she became worst. i'm not blaming you, tho." Wendy said that earned a chuckle from me because of how she panicked as she said the last sentence.

"I'll just have to talk to her, Wendy. A talk of the ex-girlfriend and the present slash future girlfriend slash wife of Lisa. I won't let my guard down, i promise." I said with a playful smirk on my face and patted her shoulder and i gave her a warm smile.

She then released a defeat sigh and nodded her head while chuckling before she gave me a weak smile on her face.

"When do you plan to talk to her?"

"After our shift tonight."

"Lili, i'll be home at one, okay? Don't pick me up." I said to Lisa as I climb up inside the car of Wendy.

Wendy looked at me worriedly before she started the engine.

"One? Why one? That's pretty late, Nini." Lisa responded on the other line of the call.

I can imagine my girl with a frown on her beautiful face. It's already nine, our usual time to go home and I know Lisa will fetch me like what she always does so I immediately called her and told her that we still have a lot of loads to do in the café kaya nag-overtime.

Yup, definitely a lie.

Sinarado namin ni Wendy ang café bago kami dumeretso sa company ni Mina. This is the only chance I have dahil nagsisimula nang magtanong si Lisa about my sudden weird behavior according to her.

"I told you, Lili. We have a lot of loads to do at the café. I'm sorry, I'll be home before you know it. I love you." I said before I ended the call.

I bit my lower lip as I closed my eyes tightly.

I can't last long lying to her. I promise, this is the last time that I would lie to her. I just badly need it.

"We should tell her, Jen. Besides, she knows Mina better than us. Maybe Lisa can stop Mina from her silliness." Wendy suggested as she took a glance at me then back on the road.

I sighed and slowly shook my head before I diverted my eyes on the window. "No, it's better if Lisa knows nothing about this. Mina has a problem with me so I should be the one to talk to her."

"Aish. You're really stubborn, Jennie." Wendy defeteadly said that earned a chuckle from me.

I looked down on my phone when i felt it vibrates.

From: Lili

So tell me, the lots of loads in the café has something to do with you inside of Wendy's car? That's pretty cool because the café is already closed and you're the one who closed it, Jennie.

"Oh gosh." I mumbled as I silently cursed myself.

How can I forget that Lisa always fetch me thirty minutes before my out? Argh. Stupid.

"What? What happened?" Wendy concernly asked.

"Lisa saw us." I hissed and looked at the message again.

I'm not sure of what Lisa might be thinking right now but I guess, she might think that I'm cheating on her. Oh gad!

To: Lili

I'm sorry, Lili, please don't be mad 😭 we just have to deal with someone. I'll be home after that. I'm sorry! I love you, sweetheart!

I replied to her before I turned off my phone.

"Are we there yet?" I asked Wendy impatiently as I fidgeted on my seat because I don't wanna see angry Lisa again.

Oh gad, my baby is mad at me again.

"Calm down, Jen. We're almost there." Wendy said chuckling.

I released a sigh as I tried to calm myself and avoid thinking of Lisa for a moment.

Okay, Lisa's mad and it's Mina's fault. Damn that girl.
