Lalisa Park pouted when she saw her blank screen. After spamming Rosiee's phone with messages and attempting to call her multiple times, she wasn't responding! Knowing her, she's still holed up in her bed with no plans to wake up until late in the afternoon.
"Why does she sleep for long? It's not like she needs any beauty sleep!" Lalisa Park fumed, climbing out of the luxurious black van made for top celebrities.
She put on her huge black sunglasses just as the wind picked up, causing her hair to flutter.
The people on the streets stared at her with their mouth agape. As expected of a world-renowned supermodel. Even in her daily life while going through her usual routine, she looked like she was shooting for an advertisement.
Lalisa Park pursed her lips, pushed a few strands of hair back while she grabbed her phone to text Rosè again.
She walked into the Sky Arc Complex and signed her name in the guest registry. She tapped her foot impatiently on the ground and immediately walked into the elevator after the receptionist gave her the 'okay'.
She hadn't seen her Feifei for an entire week and the first thing she did when she got back was check up on her. She had a tight schedule, yet still came around to visit her.
Lalisa Park felt her blood boil with annoyance. She was out of the city for a week because of her job and even came back lugging an entire small suitcase filled with souvenirs just dedicated to her Rosiee. And the woman in question wasn't even picking up her phone!
Struggling with the heavy suitcase down the hallways of the top floors of the Sky Arc Complex, Lalisa Park keyed in the password to Rosè Yang 's apartment door.
When the keypad said it was incorrect, her eyes flickered with surprise. Did Rosè Yang change the password?
But why? Did she go to the wrong apartment...?
She checked the number plate and just as predicted, it was correct. But why wasn't the door unlocking itself?
Lalisa Park frowned and called Rosè Yang but she still was not picking up. Now, Lisa grew really worried. Her anger washed away and panic settled in.
Did something happen again? Was she going to disappear without warning again? She tried hard to think whether there had been any more terrible news about Rosè Yang recently because of Jeong Jaehyun. However, all she could remember were the ones she couldn't care less about.
No wait...she suddenly remembered seeing the news of Park Jimin and an unknown woman that her mother had been pestering her about!
She nervously chewed on her finger and typed in the password again. It showed the same "error" message.
Her anxiety had started to rise, as she remembered how Rosè Yang vanished for two years. At the time, she wasn't there to physically support Rosè. Although Lalisa Park had rushed back as soon as possible, she was too late, her Rosiee was gone.
Lalisa Park couldn't help but feel guilty for not being able to support Feifei during the toughest time of her life.
They had spent two years without contact and she had spent that time wondering how Rosè is doing and when they'll be able to meet again.
She even had to use some of her family's underworld connections to try and find her only, but all of her attempts were futile.
She only stopped after Yang Marco's interference. It seemed the only person that knew of her whereabouts during that time was none other than her grandfather.
She shook her head at the daydream that was about to kick in. Right now was not the time for that!
After a few seconds of standing in the hallway, she finally decided to use her fingerprint and go through the extensive process of unlocking the door.
Lalisa Park pressed her fingerprint onto the scanner, then bent down for it to scan her eyes.
She then typed in answers to the hard questions and did the final step of scanning her entire face.
The door finally clicked open.
She hated having to do this, but it was the only way if one didn't know the password. If there was the slightest error from any of the procedure, the police would be notified ASAP.
She walked into Rosè Yang's condo and noticed her jacket was tossed on the couch. The piano chair was pulled out, and even her purse was sitting on the counter beside the door. It showed signs that at the very least, Rosè came home.
Lalisa Park saw the door to Rosè Yang's bedroom was shut and blew out a small sigh of relief. So she didn't disappear again...
But Lalisa Park thought it was strange the curtains were still drawn open. Usually, her Rosiee would close them before she goes to bed to block out the glaring sunlight rays from having her house so high up in the air the next morning.
Not wanting to wake Feifei up, Lalisa Park slowly opened the door.
Her jaw dropped to the floor and her eyes bulged at the scene in front of her.
A man!
There was a man on her bed!
Her eyes quickly scanned the room for discarded clothes and when she saw the tossed tie and suit jacket on the floor, she panicked.
Oh my freaking God! Her Rosiee brought a man home and it looked like they slept together!
This was big news!
After so many failed attempts at blind dates, her Rosiee finally found a man! This was a piece of celebratory news because it meant she finally moved on from that dirty scum Jeong Jaehyun.
Swooning in happiness for her friend, Lalisa Park nearly squealed in glee. But she didn't dare to make any noises and wake up the loving couple.
His wide and muscular back was the only thing visible about him from the distance.
Lalisa Park walked closer and noticed the man seemed to be spooning her Rosiee with an arm wrapped securely around her. She could tell from a glance that the clothes on the floor were of high quality and that the stance of the man was protective of Rosè even while he was sleeping.
It seems her Rosiee didn't need her help in finding a catch after all!
But there was something about this man...Why did he look so familiar?
She felt confused and wondered if she should look closer. What if she walked to the other side of the bed and caught a glimpse of Rosè Yang's naked body?
"Oh well, we're both girls. There's nothing to be surprised over." Lisa whispered to herself, tiptoeing to the edge of the bed.
This time, her previous shock was overshadowed as her purse slipped off her shoulders and landed with a loud thud.
She stood there, stifled and frozen at the sight before her. She sucked in nervous gasps of air, subconsciously taking horrified steps backward, while pressing her hands to her mouth in shock.
No.
Freaking.
Way!
Laying in Rosè Yang's bed was none other than her brother, Park Jimin— the king of the underworld! Her cold brother, a man who rarely smiled and laughed, he was actually lying on her bed!
Lalisa Park couldn't believe what she was seeing.
No, no, no, this must be a dream! Harshly pinching herself, she thought maybe she had fallen asleep in the car and this was just a vivid dream!
But even after giving herself painful pinches, she didn't wake up. Lalisa Park breathed out in shock, not able to believe the sight before her.
H-how was this possible?!
Her brother and her Rosiee together? What alternate universe has she stumbled upon?
'B-b-but I thought Jimin hated Rosiee?' She was so confused at this sudden turn of events, she nearly stumbled over the furniture.
Not believing what she was seeing, Lalisa Park looked around the room for any signs of what happened before she got here.
She breathed out a sigh of relief upon seeing that aside from the suit jacket and his tie, there were no other items of clothing on the floor.
Wait, they didn't have sex? Why were they snuggled together so tightly in her bed then?
Is it a one night stand or a romantic relationship?
Her head was spinning with all of these questions.
Walking closer to the sleeping couple, a part of her was very conflicted.
When she thought about what type of man her Rosiee would end up with, she never expected it to be Park Jimin.
She loved her brother dearly, almost as much as she loves Rosè, but this pairing...It was not something she would have come up with.
Biting her bottom lip, she didn't know what to do.
To Lisa, Rosè Yang deserved the best in the world. While Park Jimin deserves the same, she can't help but be more biased towards her Rosiee. Because her brother was terrifyingly powerful and wealthy, she was scared for Rosè.
Park Jimin's dealings in the underworld and ruthless decisions as a CEO had gotten him into a lot of hit lists. He had many enemies, all of them would love to find a weakness to exploit.
She knew from the bottom of her heart that if they were truly in a romantic relationship, Rosè Yang would surely be used against him.
There had been too many attempts on her life during her time as the future Madam Jeong. And Park Jimin ranked way higher than Jeong Jaehyun, which meant this time, the assassins would be of higher quality. Moreover, the price on her head would be higher as well...
The image of her tied up, beaten, bruised, and tortured was painful for Lalisa Park to even think about. Her Rosiee shouldn't go through any more suffering in this lifetime or the next! Not after what Jeong Jaehyun did to her heart...
"Oh Rosiee, what type of mess have you gotten yourself entangled into..." Lalisa Park painfully said, reaching out to stroke Rosè Yang's hair, but a hand reached out at terrifying speed to roughly seize hers.
