Jisoo sighed then hold Chaeyoung's hand but the red haired girl ignored him.
"What's the Matter?" Jisoo asked.
"I hate you!" She said.

"I'll see you at Dinner.." Lisa told Chaeyoung after he settled her to the bed.
"Yeah, See you." Chaeyoung smiled at him.
Lisa stood up and look at Jennie who is already laying down the bed, "Jen! Let's watch movie later!!" He told her and the brown haired girl just nodded. "Don't fight okay?"
"Tell this witch to stop picking a fight!" Chaeyoung rolled her eyes.
"Tell that Blabbermouth to shut her mouth!" Jennie fired back then turned her back on them.
He shake his head and walk out of the room, He then saw Jisoo carrying a tray of sandwiches and glasses of juice.
"For Jennie or Chaeyoung?" He asked.
"For Chaeny." Jisoo smiled at him.

"Jen, Chae! I made sandwiches for you!" He announced and put the tray on the mini table.
"I'm not hungry.." Both of the girls said then look at each other and rolled their eyes.
"Can you please stop copying me?" Chaeyoung asked.
Jennie sat up, "I'm not copying you! And besides those words are not yours! So don't own them!" She said then crossed her arms.
Jisoo sighed, it's not a good idea to let these girls stay alone together. "I'm here." He said.
"I don't care!" They said in unison then look at each other again.
"It's you who's copying me!" Jennie shouted.
"Yah!" Chaeyoung shouted then abruptly stood up then groaned as she felt a sudden pain. "Awww!" She fell on the floor.
Jisoo run to help her then massaged her foot, "You shouldn't force yourself to stand." He said gently.
Chaeyoung cried at the pain that made Jennie roll her eyes, "Attention seeker." She said then covered herself with blanket.
At dinner time, Jennie chose to stay in the room since She don't want to see Jisoo taking care of Chaeyoung.
Her phone suddenly rings, She look at it and found Daniel calling her. They were together last night since she went to his owned bar to drink and instantly became close.
"Yes?" She answered.
"Are you coming tonight?" He asked.
"No.. I'm out of town with my family and some friends, be back in a couple of days." She said.
"Oh, Can I come?" He asked then chuckled, "Just kidding, I have somewhere else to go tomorrow morning." He said.
She smiled, Daniel is a good guy to talk to. "I'll just see you in a couple of days." She told him.
"I'll be back to Seoul before the Anniversary Party, I'm busy with the construction of the hotel in the Island." He said then sighed, "I'll try to go back earlier so we can hang out."
"Okay, just call me."
"Alright, I'll see you next week! Bye Jen!"
"Bye." She said then hang up.
A knock on the door was heard, Jennie didn't bother to look at the person going in thinking that it's just Chaeyoung.
"Jen.." Jisoo called that made Jennie's heart beats fast. "Are you sick? I made you some soup.." He said then walk to the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry for leaving you yesterday, Jen.. Chae got an emergency and I have to be there." He explained.
"You don't need to explain, She's your girlfriend and it's normal." She said then turned her back on him.
"She's not my girlfriend yet, Jen." He said then shake her body. "I don't want you to starve."
She sat up, Jisoo put the tray on the bed and feed her.
Chaeyoung then went in with Lisa and saw them, "Kim Jichu!" She called.
"Chae! Please don't be mad." He said.
"Why are you acting like you are her boyfriend?" She asked angrily.
"And why are you acting like a mad girlfriend?" Jennie asked angrily.
"Because Jichu and I.."
"Jisoo told me you're not his girlfriend." Jennie smirked.
Chaeyoung tried hard to walk near the them, "And who do you think you are in Jichu's life?" She asked.
Lisa was once again left out, He smiled bitterly and went out of the room.
"Chae stop." Jisoo stood up and made her sit on the bed but Chaeyoung shoo his hands away.
"Ask Jichu, witch." She said.
Jennie look at Jisoo, "Jen is my friend." He said.
Chaeyoung laugh that irritated Jennie, "That's not what you told me Kim Jichu!" She said then turned to Jennie, "He's being so good to you because you are his Boss' Daughter.. just his Boss' Daughter and not more than that." She said with a mocking smile, "So stop thinking that He likes you because Jichu and I have mutual feelings for each other."
"Is that true? You never treated me at least like a friend?" Jennie asked.
"Jen.." He tried to hold her hand but Jennie kick him.
"Go out!" She shouted. "Both of you go out!" She pointed at the door.
"I'll go out but don't kick her out." Jisoo said while looking at Chaeyoung.
Jennie got mad and stood up, "Then I'll go." She said then went out of the room and just a room for herself.

"The Island is big, It will be hard to find her but We will not stop Mom." Tae-hyung said.
"Why did she runaway?" Seung-hyun asked.
"We don't know."
Jisoo on the other hand was still in the room with Chaeyoung who is busy practicing to walk, He kept looking at his watch and was trying to call Jennie.
"Where are you Jen?" He thought.
"Jichu.. Why are you spacing out?" Chaeyoung asked.
He sighed then hold Chaeyoung's shoulders, "Chae, I really need to look for Jen.. I'm getting worried." He said, "I'll ask Tzuyu to accompany you in the meantime." He said then went out of the room and talk to Tzuyu who quickly agreed.

He sighed, "I can't.. I have to find her." He said.
"Alright! By the way, We can't contact Lisa. If you see him tell him to come back home first."
"Okay." He said then bid goodbye. "Jen where are you?" He worriedly mumbled and continued searching for the Princess.
-----
Jennie is in an old Nipa hut, She stayed there since she got tired from taking a long walk in the island this morning then fell asleep.
She's hugging her knees and kept talking to herself, "Stop thinking about Jisoo and focus on yourself.." She mumbled then close her eyes, being alone made her think better, She thought of things and decided to just let go of Jisoo.
Her stomach grumbles, "Gosh, I'm so hungry."
She hasn't eaten anything and she's afraid to walk around since there's lots of trees.
"Jen!!" She suddenly heard someone calling her. "Princess!"
"Lalisa!" She mumbled then went out of the house. "Lalisa!" She called.
Lisa turned around and found her, "Jen!" He called then run to the house and envelope the girl into a hug. "Everyone's looking for you!" He said.

"Let's go home?" He hold her hand.
She shake her head, "I want to stay here." She said then look down then a loud sound from her stomach was heard.
She hold her tummy then look at Lisa while blushing.

Jennie pouted then take the paper bag, "Thanks, You're always the first one to find me.." She said then went inside followed by Lisa. "Is this your breakfast?" She asked then started to eat.
"Yeah.." He said then look around. "What are your plans after running away?" He asked.
"I didn't ran away. I was just walking around, got tired and fell asleep here." She said that made him laugh.
"You always like to make everyone worried. I could still remember when you went missing when you had your first vacation in Seoul.. you were just ten at the time, Your Mom almost fainted when we didn't see you the whole day and I found you sleeping under the bed in the loft of the old house." He chuckled.
She smiled, Lisa is always there for her before he got busy going on a trip to different parts of the world.
"Did you walkaway because of Jisoo and Chaeyoung?" He suddenly asked but she didn't answer, "You can tell me anything Jen, we were best buddies years ago. And we are each other's secret keepers."
She nodded then sighed, "I was just really hurt to hear that he did things to me just because I'm part of his job." She admitted. "Chaeyoung told me that he don't see me as a friend or more than that, I'm just his Boss' Daughter.."
He move closer to her, "You like Jisoo.. It's obvious Jen."
"It's not hard to fall for him, He's a good man. No wonder why Chaeyoung likes him so much." She smiled then laid her head on his shoulder. "Jisoo likes her too, so I need to stop feeling this way.."
"I know how it feels to see the person you love with someone else.. I always feel that way." Lisa said.
"You've fallen for Chaeyoung too?"
"Yes, I thought She likes me too but I got wrong signals from her, She's so into Jisoo." He smiled bitterly, "I guess I just have to move on."
Jennie chuckled, "It's so funny, don't you think? Our Parents used to pair us up, We almost became a couple but we parted ways, and now we're both in this situation.."
"Why don't we just be together?" He joked.
She look at him seriously, "Did you liked me at least once Lis?"
"I liked you, that's why I did a lot of things for you .. but we're not meant to be together.." He smiled at her.
"Good to hear.. I'm happy to know that there's someone who gave me importance." She nodded, "It's tiring to be the second choice."
Lisa hugged her, "Don't look for love, Jen.. let Love find you.." He said.
She nodded, "Right, I realized that I should just let them be happy and focus on myself, Time for Jeni to love herself too." She smiled.
"Yeah, Let's Love Ourselves first and give our hearts a break.."
-----
"Lisa isn't back yet!" Go-eun and Kim Eomma are getting worried for the Lisa.
"Jisoo is not answering my calls anymore!" Jin informed them.
It's almost sunrise and they can't sleep because of their family members.
Chaeyoung was biting her finger, She's worried for Lisa plus Jisoo is still out. "I'm sorry.." She apologized to everyone, "It was my fault why all of this happened." She cried.
"Sshh. This is not the time to blame each other." Seung-hyun told her.
The door then opened, Jisoo came in. "Is Jen here?" He asked with hoping eyes.
"No.. Lisa and Jennie are not yet here." Hae-in said.
Tae-hyung then cleared his throat, "I think Lisa and Jennie are together." He told them.
"What? Are you sure?" Yejin asked her Son.
"Maybe, Remember Lisa is always the first one to find her whenever she runaway, and the fact that Lisa is not yet back. I think He found Jeni."
Go-eun nodded and felt relieved, "If that's true, then we should stop worrying. Lisa will never let anything happen to Jennie." She said.
Jisoo creased his eyebrows, He can't just settle by just conclusions. He has to find Jennie. "I'll look for them." He said then went out.
"I wanna go with you." Chaeyoung said then stood up. "I'm fine now."
Jisoo nodded and the two of them search for the two missing people.
"Jichu, I'm so sorry." Chaeyoung apologized to him. "If I didn't said those words to her, this will never happen."
Jisoo didn't answer and just focus on looking for Jennie, "Jichu are you mad? Jichu.."
The tanned guy then look at her, "Look Chae, If you can't help me in finding them then go back to the Villa, I will find Jen by myself!" He said a little loud that surprised the young girl, "I'm sorry.. I was just worried.." He said then hold her hand.
"I understand.." She said then keep quiet.
Jisoo sighed and look around, "Jen where are you?" He thought.
They walk to the farther part of the island and found a small old house.
"She must be here.." He mumbled and walk faster almost leaving Chaeyoung.
They went inside and quickly saw Jennie and Lisa sleeping beside each other.
Chaeyoung covered her eyes seeing Lisa half naked with Jennie hugging him.

Jisoo walk next to Jennie and asked her some things, "Why did you runaway?" He asked.
"That's None of your business." She answered.
He sighed then hold her by the waist, "I was so worried about you, Jen."
"Why? Are you afraid to lose a job?" She asked sharply then walk faster with Lisa.
Chaeyoung look at Jennie and Lisa walking with linking arms and suddenly felt her heart twitch.
"Chae! We have to walk faster, I want to talk to Jen." Jisoo called and pulled her to walk more faster.
-----
"We're home!" Lisa announced as soon as they arrived at the Villa.
"Oh my gosh, Sweetheart!" Yejin quickly envelope her daughter in a tight hug as Sora hugged her Son.
"Where you two have been?" Seung-hyun asked.
"Far from here Dad." Jennie smiled at them.
Jisoo and Chaeyoung went in and saw the sweet reunion.
"Why didn't you go back immediately?" Jin asked while hugging his Sister, "I missed you!" He said then peck the side of her head.
Jennie giggled then look at Lisa, "I wanna be alone with Lalisa since I missed him so much, so I asked him to stay there when he found me." She told them.
Lisa winked at him to seal their secret and it didn't slipped on Tae-hyung's eyes.
"Oohh! Seems like something is going on between you two." He said then pinch his Sister's cheek, "You made us all worried... again." He told her then hug her too, "Next time, tell Oppa where you're going, okay?" He told her and she nodded. "Good!" He said then kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry for making you worried!" She bowed to them.
"Yah, are you two together?" Hae-in asked.
Lisa and Jennie look at each other then laugh, "You wish." She said.
"Argh! I thought we will be like real families!!" Hae-in groaned that made them all laugh.
After their talk, The rest of the families rest while Jennie and Lisa were in the balcony.
"You're such a trouble maker!" Lisa smack Jennie's head playfully.
"Yah!" Jennie hit his arm hard and the two of them laugh. She look at him, She really missed being with this dorky guy.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Are you falling for me again?" He asked then laugh.
"Seriously Lalisa, I missed this.. I missed you." She said truthfully. "Thank you for always finding me first."
Lisa turned serious and envelope her in a hug, "I missed you too." He said then move his lips closer to her ears, "I'm sorry if I wasn't able to be with you when you need me."
"It's okay, I got three older brothers to make me happy.. I just hope you don't stay away from us anymore." She said and broke the hug.
"We'll see." He smiled then put a hand on his pocket.
Unbeknownst to them, Someone was watching them from the corner and is in deep sorrow.
"Why do I feel this way?" Chaeyoung asked herself while clutching on her chest tightly. "Why am I so jealous to see them together?"
Watching Lisa and Jennie so close makes her heart ache and she's getting confused of herself.
"Could it be.. I like Lisa while I'm into Jisoo?" She thought then sighed, "No.. I like Jisoo more.." She shrugged her pain.
"Alright, I'll just shower so we can walk around later." She then heard Jennie excused herself. She was startled to see Jennie walking back inside.
So She hide herself and watch Jennie went inside the room. She sighed in relief and was about to walk to the balcony and talk to Lisa when she heard him talking with someone on the phone.

"No, I mean.. you were talking to someone, you have a flight?" She asked.
He look at her with a surprise look, "You're eavesdropping?" He joked but turned serious when he saw Chaeyoung's not smiling. He cleared his throat and look from afar. "I'll go with my best friend and try to open a business in The Philippines." He said.
"For how long?" She asked.
"It depends on the success of the business, I might stay there for good.. no one knows." He shrugged.
He suddenly heard a sob, He look at her and found Chaeyoung crying, "What happened? Did you and Jisoo fight?" He asked worriedly.
"Why do you have to leave, Lili? Who will make me happy when I'm so down? No one will ask me out for a dinner to some unexpected place anymore!" She sob then hug Lisa. "What will happen to the Bookshop?"
