Chaeyoung's POV





"She didn't come home last night, Jisoo-ya." I said while tossing and turning my phone on the table kitchen of my house.





"What's new, Chaeyoung? She's always like that. I really hope that one day, I meet that woman. I will probably kick her ass." Jisoo uttered. She's here again from her business trip but later, she'll go back.




Me and Jisoo with her younger sister Jennie Kim planned to have a lunch today. Since I am not in the mood eating at some restaurants or cafés, Jisoo decided to eat at my place and Jennie will do the cooking. This will be the first time to meet her younger sister since we met at the bar two years ago. I wanted to meet her since we got closer but Jisoo doesn't want it because Jen is too busy.





I understand her. Besides, most of the time, I'm always crying whenever she's here so there's no reason to invite Jennie to come over. Unless we want her to hear all my dramas almost ever night.





"Soo, it's fine. I just waited till 3am because I didn't even get a single message from her if she's coming home or not." I smiled weakly while looking at her heart shaped lips. That's Jisoo's asset, for real.





"It's not fine and it's not going to be fine. Chaeng, she's always treating you like this. You don't even deserve it." She hissed and then rolled her eyes.





I chuckled. "I don't know anymore." I shook my head.






We're busy talking when we heard the doorbell rang. "I got this." She said then walked to open the door.





I waited for a moment and I saw a woman with cute cat eyes and gummy smile on her face. "Are you Jennie?"





She nodded. "Yeah. Annyeonghaseyo." She bowed politely then I saw her carrying a big paper bag on her hands.






"Nice to meet you, Jennie. Don't be formal please? I think I'm younger than you. Or is it just me?" I laughed and put the paper bag she was holding on the table. "Please feel at home."





"Your house is beautiful." She said while her eyes scanning the interior design of the kitchen and living room.





"Oh. This is my wife's dream home. She has a taste, right?" I said while preparing the food she cooked. I don't know but I'm moving freely although it's our first time to meet. Maybe it's less awkward because Jisoo is here.





"W-Wife?" She was surprised when she asked me.





"Didn't you tell here?" I asked Jisoo.





She shook her head. "I have no time to tell her." She sat down.





"But... unnie... I thought..." Jennie said.





"Nevermind. Let's just eat." She smiled then looked at me.





I prepared the food and drinks on the table and we all sat down. Jennie looks so pretty. In just a single glance, men can easily fall for her. "I am married, Jennie. With my best friend."






"Wow. Really? Then how is it? I bet it's good because you guys are best friends and you know your similarities and differences of each other." She's so cute when she is amused.





Jisoo laughed. "In her dreams." Aww, this woman is really rude.





"Hmm? What's wrong?"





"She doesn't love me. Or even like me." This time, I answered while making a fake smile.






"The hell? Jisoo unnie told me that you're almost perfect and now that I witness it, I agree. What's wrong with her?"





I drank the orange juice in front of me. "Well, that's life. You can't make the person you love to love you back." I was teary eyed already but thank God because I controlled myself. "By the way, let's eat first and cut my every day drama." I said while laughing. I'm trying hard. Really.










We started to eat and goddamn, this is so delicious. "I really thought that you're good at pastries than cooking dishes like this because you're unnie told me that you owns a café." I said while chewing. "But this is so good!"






"Oh, thank you so much for liking it. Yes, I do but I really love cooking since my unnie loves to eat." She smirked at her unnie then I find it cute. Jisoo just shook her head.





"I bet your boyfriend loves you so much because you can fill his stomach with your love, which is the food you cook."






"A girlfriend." Jisoo said while eating.





"Really? Oh! Doesn't matter, as long as you love each other, then it's not a problem. Love always wins." I winked at her and she just laugh.





"I know. She made me realize who I am and what I really like." She smiled.






"That's good. Hope you enjoy having a relationship with her. May God bless your relationship too." I giggled and stood up.





"Thanks." Jennie bowed her head a little.





"Now, it's time for a wine." I walked to the mini bar on the corner and I grabbed a bottle of grape wine.






"I told you to minimize drinking wine." Jisoo said while following me with er gazes while I got three wine glasses.





"What now, Soo? Wine is good for the heart."





"If you're drinking moderately. But if you're drinking a bottle every single day, then it's not good anymore." She said worriedly.





"Oh, God. Really?" Jennie was shocked again.




I shook my head. "There's nothing to worry about. I'm fine. Besides, it's my first meeting with Jennie so I need to have at least a toast with her." There's a wide smile in my face. I know that drinking too much can clearly kill me but who cares? It's my relaxation since then. I've been stressing out myself lately.





I poured those glasses and gave one to Jennie then to her worried sister, Jisoo. "Thanks." Jennie said.





"Cheers to my new friend?"







"Cheers." She replied and we had a toast. This is good. The more people who understand my situation, the better.






"Jennie, thanks for cooking a delicious meal for us. I really appreciate it."





"Oh, it's a pleasure Chaeyoung." Her cat eyes were looking at me while smiling. This woman looks like a kid maybe because of her cuteness but it's obvious that she's already a grown woman like her sister. You can tell by her body shape.





"Oh, don't call me that name. Call me Roseanne." I gave her a sweet smile.






"Roseanne?"






"Yes, that's my English name. I prefer to be called that one when it's a friend."






She nodded. "Okay, I will."

Jennie's POV




I'm on my way home driving my own car. I just met Roseanne and for goodness sake, she's so beautiful. Her movement were so soft and carefulness is her thing. I can tell that she's definitely one of a kind that's why my unnie is already under her spell but to think that she's already married makes me feel sad for my Jisoo unnie. I hope it doesn't turn everything they had right now into an unrequited love. They are both precious to be hurt.





Roseanne told me stories about her life and some of her hobbies. Actually she invited me to play video games with her and I actually accepted it even though I'm not into those kind of games but it would be rude if I decline it. She's nice and sweet that makes her more attractive, I'm still wondering why her wife chose to treat her that way. She doesn't even deserve to treat like she's nobody.





Anyway, back to my situation, I'm already few blocks away from my home. And Lisa is already waiting for me right now. She was supposed to be with me earlier but she got lazy so I didn't bother to force the latter to come with me. Besides she's the one suggesting to drive me there earlier.





I parked my car when I reached my house. I went outside the car and walked towards the door. I slowly opened it and looked around when I heard a voice coming from the kitchen.






"I told you already, Kang. There's no turning back. Tell Irene to not bother me with this. I can handle it!" That's Lisa's voice.






I walked towards the kitchen and saw her turning her back on me. She's busy talking someone on the phone. "I don't want to! I'm not being stubborn. If you want to go then go. Fuck! I'm not a kid anymore." She said angrily. What's the matter?






"I fucking said it! Can't you understand?!..... Then tell everyone! That favors me!" She shouted then quickly ended the call by throwing her phone on the sink. "Aysh!" She groaned while wiping her face with her palms.






"Looks so upset." I carefully walked towards her and hugged her back.





"Je-Jennie?" She faced me with her surprised face. "When did you get here?"





"A minute ago. What's wrong? Is that Seulgi?" I hugged her again.






She nodded. "It's about business." Business? Doesn't seems like that but I won't force her to say what really it is. "How was your day?" She asked, changing the topic.





"Oh, went well. Roseanne is so kind and she's lovely. No doubt that Jisoo unnie loves her." I broke the hug and went to open the fridge to get a bottle of water.






"Roseanne?" She frowned. "She's not a Korean?"





"She is, but she was born abroad. Long story." I smiled to her and drank the water.





She leaned her back a bit and rested her hands on the sink while watching me. She's staring at me like we didn't see each other for months.





"Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that?"





She shook her head and chuckled. "I just realized how unlucky you are for having me in your life." She sighed, seems disappointed or whatever.





I placed the bottle of water on the table and walked towards her. "Lisa, what's wrong?" With her fake smile and this uneasy feeling of mine, I know that there's something wrong. "Tell me, baby."





She shook her head. "There's nothing wrong. I'm just overthinking right now."





"Then stop thinking about anything." I hugged her. "You don't need to stress yourself because I am the luckiest because I have you." I kissed her lips and she closed her eyes for a second but opened it again then looked at me straight in the eyes.






"I'm afraid to lose you." There's something with her words that I can't explain. I used to the Lisa who jokes every time but this Lisa in front of me is very serious.





I caressed her cheek gently. "You won't lose me unless you did something terrible. Just don't lie, Lisa. And everything is fine for us." I smiled to make her heart flutters but looks like I mad it worse.





She broke the hug and turned her back on me. "I.... I won't lie.... never." She said while stuttering. Did I make her feel pressured? Oh.




"I know you won't. Like I said, I trust you that's why I gave you all of me." I intertwined our hand so she faced me again.







Yes, I already gave her everything I have. My trust, my heart, my love, my body and she already knows everything about me. Call me dumb for doing all of these for a short time being with her but damn, you can't blame me especially when you experience feeling like this. You guys stand on situation, I know that your heart will melt when you found someone like Lisa. But please, not my Manoban. Find your own Lisa. I trust her because I know she won't hurt me. She said se loves me and I will hold on her words whatever happens. I'm already hers and I hope she feels the same way.







"Why are you so kind? Do I really deserve you?"





"You're a good person too, Lisa. So I think we both deserve each other." I smiled sweetly but it took her a minute to nod.





"I love you." She planted a small kisses on my forehead which I find sweet whenever she's doing that.








"I love you too, Lisa. I really do."
