The whole ride was silent. The girls reached Bambam's house and no one is talking. Lisa helps Jisoo with Jennie again. The girl is really sober. Lisa went straight to the bathroom to take a bath and then changes her clothes.
Bambam is already inside when they got in.
"When did you arrive?" Lisa asks him.
"Jackson hyung just accompanied me here.. uhh.. I think, an hour ago before you girls went back."
"Oh that's why you look fine already. I saw you got wasted earlier. Come on, that's fine. I'm sure you'll win next time." Lisa cheers her friend up again. Bambam chuckles.
"Hey.. I haven't done drinking though. Do you have beers here?"
"Well, that fridge has used though." Bambam points at the small fridge. Lisa immediately grabs some and went to the terrace.
The girls are all sober and busy fixing themselves after the party.
Lisa sits down on the chair outside then opens one bottle and drinks.
"What's the problem, Lisa?" Seulgi suddenly pops up beside her, just near the door.
"Nothing, unnie. Just wanna get really drunk." Lisa replied and drinks again.
"Why?"
"Nothing."
"Are you really getting jealous of that man?"
Lisa suddenly looks at Seulgi. The girl got her.
"No, I'm not jealous. More like sad and maybe envious."
"Envious? Of that man?"
"You all saw how Jennie unnie reacted when that man held her wrist and saved her from those men."
"You can't be envious just because of that."
"It's not that, unnie. That Kai.. he's from around here and me? I'm from a fucking institute where all there are guns and grenades. This man, he can make Jennie unnie fall for him even without doing anything. Like, he can show her the world when I can only show her how to dismantle a bomb in 10 seconds."
"That's really bothering you?"
"How can I not be bothered about that?"
"Look. Lisa, of all the people here, you know Jennie ever since you were young. You know what she likes and dislikes. You know how to handle her rudeness. You know how to make her calm even without doing anything. Lisa, getting her out of the institute is already something. That Kai didn't save her. It's you. You can make her fall for you over and over again by doing all the things you know she likes. I don't even know that Kai is or any other people from around here but dude, you're way better than him. I know that. And dude, we just met the guy."
"Unnie, meeting new people like him might changes everything between us. You saw how she giggles when that man winks at her and waves and smiles like an asshole."
"That doesn't mean she likes him. Maybe, she just felt happy when she met other people. But that's it. Lisa, I don't trust the princess, but I can see that she really loves you."
"Unnie.. she's not like that when she met Bambam."
"Because the guy likes you. Dude, you don't even see that. Haha!" Seulgi utters in low voice because she might get heard inside.
"He doesn't... we're just childhood friends and catching up. That's all. He got nothing for me. Tss." Lisa hissed.
"Whatever, Lisa." Seulgi chuckles.
"Unnie, I'm having doubts seeing her smile when that guy grabbed her. She didn't even see me in front of them when they passed me."
"Yeah.. I saw that. But she's just really drunk."
"Unnie, that won't help."
Wendy suddenly comes out too. She got surprised when she saw Seulgi and Lisa outside. Seulgi taps on Lisa's shoulder and walks inside. This time, Wendy and Lisa are left outside.
"Can I have one of that, 327?" Wendy asks. Lisa glances at her and opens a bottle for Wendy.
"Thanks." Wendy smiles. But Lisa noticed something odd about her smile.
"Are you thinking that me and Irene unnie have something also?" Wendy utters suddenly. Lisa looks at her.
"Why? Nothing's going on with you two?"
Wendy shakes her head and forced a smile then drinks.
'How many point of views will I get tonight....hays.'
"Really unnie? I thought...--Yeah.. I thought so too."
"Unnie.."
"Lisa, you saw when Seulgi invited Irene unnie in the middle when we're all partying. Unnie gladly accepted it and they both danced the choreo they both dancing even when we're inside the institute."
"Yep. And?"
"I never saw Irene unnie that happy when she's with me." Wendy then glances at Lisa.
"She's never been that happy when she's with me. She maybe thinks that she has something for me too but when she's with Seulgi, she can show her true self. She doesn't know that she likes Seulgi. But when you look at them when they are together, it feels like they have their own worlds."
"She thinks she likes me because we're always together. But it's clearly not. Her mind is just occupied with the things we've been doing together. She doesn't figure it out yet but soon she'll know." Wendy drinks the last drop of her beer and left.
Lisa is left again confused. She massages her temple. All the things she knew tonight just making her head hurt. She's having doubts and she's scared.
She stayed outside for more while. She finished all the beers and she feels dizzy already. She stood up, wiggles a little, and leans on the railings of Bambam's terrace then looks at the sky. It will soon rain just in a matter of minutes. No stars. The sky is full of clouds. Then suddenly she heard some drops on the roof, it's raining. The cold breeze suddenly embraces her warm body. But she got startled when arms snaked around her waist. Wounds and grazes when she looks at the arms.
"Why are you here? Aren't you cold?"
"Nope. I just want some fresh air. Why are you still up? Go back inside and rest."
"Are you still mad at me?"
Lisa turns around and faces Jennie. She caresses both of her cheeks with her thumbs then shakes her head.
"I was never mad at you."
"You left me inside the bar."
"I told you, I just wanted some fresh air."
"Are you okay, LiLi?"
Lisa nodded while she stares at Jennie, still caressing her cheeks.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I think, for some reasons, I made you upset earlier. That's why you went out of the place."
Lisa sighed and kisses Jennie's forehead.
"Sorry for leaving you earlier. Does your body hurt?" Jennie shakes her head and fixes some of Lisa's hair that's being messed by the breeze.
"NiNi, what would you do if you met someone that could give the whole world to you? I mean, someone who could bring you to places you've never been before.. someone who could give you all your needs.. someon---"
Lisa got cut when Jennie kisses her. Lisa lets out an air through her nose when Jennie kisses her. The girl pulled her waist closer and deepens the kiss. She bit Lisa's lips and found entrance for her tongue. Jennie cups Lisa's cheek while the other hand still on the younger's waist. She kisses her hard then breaks.
"I don't fucking know where all of this is coming from and I don't fucking care about the world because you're giving me the universe, Manoban. You're all I need. Only you."
This time, Lisa kisses Jennie. She embraces the girl and kisses her until both of them are breathing heavily but none of them breaks the kiss. Jennie grasps on Lisa's shirt as the kiss gets deeper.
•••••
Wendy is silently listening and watching them. Then she smiles when they finally settles their little fight.
"They're okay now." Wendy whispered to the girls.
"Really? Can I see?" Rosé was about to sneak when Wendy stops her by pushing her forehead.
"Aw! Unnie!" Rosé whispers but annoyed.
"You don't have to see it, pabo-yah. Just go back to your seat." Wendy whispers then she goes back to her seat too.
"I hate the princess but to be honest, it's really not so pleasant when those two fights." Yerin utters.
"Oh.. you've never seen hell yet." Rosé responded.
"Wait until you hear Jennie's rants. Ohghad.. I don't even want to remember." Jisoo utters while touching her forehead and shaking her head.
"Remember what? Yah Kim Jisoo?! What are you saying to this people?! Are you backstabbing me now?!" Jennie yelled out the moment they walks inside the house.
"Oh God.. please.. if you love me.." Jisoo utters with closed hands, looks like praying as she walks inside the room, followed by Rosé.
"Yah! Kim Jisoo! I'm talking to you!" Jennie followed her but the door is locked.
"Yah! Open up! ... "
The girls, including Bambam, just continued what they're doing while covering their ears. Lisa just laughed at the scene.
•••••
"Lisa, look at this. It has much bigger space and I think it could occupy all of us." Seulgi utters as they browse the net and looking for some place to stay.
"Unnie.. we decided to have our own place. We're gonna buy our own. The four of us." Lisa replied and glances at Jennie and ChaeSoo.
"Then we're gonna look for ours also." Sowon utters.
"Oh? That so? Okay. Let's find places of our own and another one that will serve as our own hq. Of course we need to plan everything before we rescue the other agents."
"We're gonna bring that place down. I will definitely do it. Enough with all of this madness. Also, I'm planning on building my own institute." Lisa utters.
The girls looked at her. All of them, including Bambam.
"You." Lisa points at Bambam.
"Do you want to work for me? I'll give you money in return."
"I don't know anything about guns and those kind of stuff." Bambam replied.
"That wouldn't be a problem. I'll train you."
Yerin suddenly raises her hand.
"I uhh.. willing to help. I'll work with you on your plan."
"Cool. Who else?"
"Wait. Are you really gonna build your own army?" Seulgi asks.
"Yes. We need it. We don't have much people here. We need to recruit. It's the main base. We know how big it is."
"You're right. But how will we know that we can trust other people about this?" Wendy asks.
"Well.. we'll start to tell about our plan to people we know we can trust and everything will follow." Lisa said.
"I know someone. But she's not from around here." Seulgi suddenly utters.
"That's a start, unnie." Lisa points to Seulgi.
"Guys. If you know anyone from the other branches that we could trust, you guys are free to send them emails or call them. Just be cautious."
"Other branches?" Irene asks looking so puzzled.
"Unnie, we could start by recruiting other agents we could trust. It wouldn't consume our time by training them."
"That's a good point." Seulgi agreed.
"So.. for now, our first objective is to look for some place to stay." She added.
"Miyeon-ssi, Soyeon-ssi, how about you two? If you want to, you can live with us for a while." Lisa looks at the two.
Upon hearing Lisa, Jennie got surprised and irritatedly leans her back on the couch and shakes her head.
"Uhm.. that would be nice." Miyeon replied.
"Coo--That would be nice but no thanks." Soyeon cuts and looks at Lisa.
"We can find our own place." she added.
"It might be dangerous for just the two of you." Lisa said.
"No. We can manage. You don't underestimate us, 327."
Jennie hissed but Soyeon heard it.
"And I don't like living with her." Soyeon points at Jennie.
"Because I still don't trust her."
"Watch your mouth, 826." Jennie uttered while glaring at Soyeon.
"What? What are you gonna do?"
Jennie lifts her back again and about to stand up but the girls stopped them.
"Tss. Come on. None of us here trust you. So, don't try so hard, Princess." Soyeon retorted.
"Yah! Soyeon-ssi. Stop it already." Miyeon muttered and looked at Soyeon.
"What? I'm telling the truth. Come on. Why don't you ask them if they trust the General's daughter." Soyeon chuckled in rudeness.
The agents, except Lisa and ChaeSoo, looked down and some averted their stares.
"I-Irene unnie? Not you too.." Jennie stutterly utters but Irene just avoided her stare.
Jennie gulps and stood up.
"E-Excuse me.." she dashes inside the room.
"Unnie.." Lisa calls her but she didn't look and closed the door behind her.
"You know what, screw you all! And yes, you probably should get your own place." Lisa uttered then followed Jennie inside the room.
•••••
She gets inside and locked the door. Jennie is not around. She tries the bathroom. The door is locked.
"NiNi.. open this please. Let's talk."
"I need some time alone please."
"No. I'm not gonna leave you here."
"Lisa, please."
"No!" Lisa kicked the door and it breaks easily because it's rusted. Bambam's termites. She found Jennie sitting on the toilet bowl, crying. Of course the covers are down for her to sit on it.
"I'm not gonna let you deal with this alone. Screw all of them! I'm not gonna leave your side."
Lisa wipes Jennie's tears and hugged her.
"I c-can't believe even Irene unnie couldn't t-trust me." Jennie cries. Lisa just keep on caressing Jennie's back.
"Maybe because I AM my father's daughter."
"Yes, you are. But I still trust you. Even Jisoo unnie and Rosé trusts you."
"L-Lis.. the t-torture." Jennie utters. Lisa looks at her.
"My father has nothing to do with it. One CO is responsible for all of it. I saw it. I saw it with my own eyes. It's not my father, Lis. It's not him."
"Shh.." Lisa caressed Jennie's back and hugged her tight.
"He won't harm his agents. LiLi, please believe me. He's not involved with the tortures." Jennie cries so hard. Lisa looked at her and wipes her tears.
"Shh.. I believe you, okay. I believe you." Then hugs the older again.
"I don't care about them now. These people sucks! Come on. Pack your things and we're leaving."
"Where are we going? We haven't found a place to stay yet."
"Hey.. don't you believe in me?"
Jennie looked at Lisa and the younger winks at her and smiles. Jennie suddenly kissed her. Lisa kisses back.
"So, pack your things. I'm calling Jisoo unnie and Rosé to pack their things too."
Lisa stood up and walks out of the bathroom and let Jennie pack her things. She steps outside again and saw Jisoo and Rosé talking to them. The two glances at Lisa and smiles.
"Unnie, pack your things. We're leaving now." Lisa utters.
"Lisa.." Seulgi calls.
"No, unnie. I don't wanna hear it. Save it for her. She needs it more than I." Lisa utters coldly.
"Jisoo unnie, Chaeyoung, double time." Lisa went inside the room again.
"Give them some time. Just remember what we told you. It's not her father. Believe us or not, it's all your choice." Jisoo utters and grabs Rosé's hand and goes inside the room to fix their things.
