"I know what I should do... I just have to play my part and not let anyone notice that I have regained my memories... just for now... I will play the villain" thoughts that she had carved into her head. As she held her in her arms and as the lady had just drifted away from a heavy slumber.
Lisa stood up carrying the woman she loved in her arms and made her way back to the room where she took her from. She can see and feel the eyes locked towards them, eyes of concern, a bit of anger, and even despise but among those, she walks past them and carefully lays Irene back on her bed, she then slowly brushes away the strand of her hair that was covering its beautiful porcelain face.
Nayeon: What happened? She asked with a tone of anger.
"And the show begins..." Lisa smiled amused by what she thought. She brushed a finger on Irene's soft hands and after that, she slowly turned around to face those eyes asking for an explanation.
Lisa: She got dizzy and eventually fainted, that's why I immediately brought her here.
Seulgi: I don't know if you are really concerned about her or you are just playing with her... but for now Lisa, let her rest first.
Lisa: Hmmm... I might let that happen, just for the day. She coldly said.
With silence covering the room, in seconds, a tall Moreno man rushed towards the room and instantly grabbed Lisa's collar. Seulgi quickly steps in to stop whatever is going to happen next.
Seulgi: Bo-gum stop... Irene is sleeping.
Bo-gum didn't even hear what Seulgi said because he was too ranged at the person in front of him, he wanted to punch her so the smile on her face would be gone.
Bo-gum: You piece of sh*t!!! What do you think of Irene, a toy that you can just get?! She's still under observation and she needs rest!!! He madly said.
Lisa: Why? I brought her back. Look, she's sleeping. She said sarcastically.
Bo-gum: You f*cking piece of sh*t!!! Don't you dare to come near her again, try it and I will kill you.
Lisa smirked at him.
Lisa: I like to see you try. She seriously said to her.
In a span of seconds, Lisa grabbed Bo-gum's hands off her suit and twisted his hands just for that person to wince in pain.
Lisa: You know you talk big, but your actions are sh*t!
Nayeon: Bo-gum, Lisa stops!
But Lisa didn't hear anything at all, she was already pissed at Bo-gum, and how it blends well with her role in portraying a villain.
Lisa: You act like you have the authority to command me, but how pathetic of you! The girl is sleeping, you see her! She's crazy over me! And you?! A f*cking piece of sh*t is not even worth her attention. But you know what? Maybe I should be the one saying this to you...
She looked at Bo-gum deadly straight in his eyes.
Lisa: Better stay away from Irene if you value your life.
How Lisa said her words with such coldness and full of somewhat she meant everything she said. It might be she is pissed at how Bo-gum acts as if he and Irene are in a relationship, pissed that Bo-gum thinks that he owns Irene, pissed that Irene let this piece of sh*t court her, even gave him a chance to do so and to sum it all up, Lisa is jealous.
Seulgi: I said stop it! Irene might wake up! She yelled.
Nayeon slapped her shoulder because she also shouted.
Nayeon: Seulgi! Irene might wake up!!!
???: What is happening here?!
A strong voice inquired about the situation. Lisa immediately let go of Bo-gum's hands which caused him to fall, but he immediately stood up to salute the person who entered the room.
All of the people in the room saluted to that person, except Irene and Lisa, well Irene was asleep when that person made his presence felt while Lisa just stood firm, he wasn't her commander in her pretend.
Seulgi: Sir! Uhm, we apologize...
Joy: Commander it's just a little argument happening, that's all.
Bo-gum: Irene was peacefully resting when she came along and took her from her room, which made Irene dizzy, and eventually fainted.
Commander Bae: Hmmm... I see...
Commander Bae first saw when he entered the room his daughter sleeping soundly and his eyes quickly to a tall girl who was just simply fixing her necktie.
Commander Bae: At ease soldiers... what brings you here Lalisa?
Lisa: I came to visit. She shortly replied
Commander Bae: I see... thank you for saving my daughter's life... thrice...
Lisa knew he was to how many times she did save Irene from harm but then again her actions should be the opposite, after all the part she auditioned for is at play.
Lisa: Just once, Commander Bae. She corrected
Commander Bae: Ahh yes... once, thank you for correcting me. Since you are here I would like you to meet someone, he is a very good friend of mine. He smiled
Lisa shifted her eyes towards the door, for some reason she had a hunch that it might be her commander, not Commander Yang but her real commander, a commander she considered as her father. She badly misses him but she has to restrain herself.
Indeed she was right, it was none other than her commander, Commander Argos Manoban. He walked inside the room with pride and smiled at her.
Argos: I've heard a lot about you Lalisa, the daughter of a twisted commander, tell me are you twisted too? Hahahaha
Lisa just looked at him seriously.
Argos: HAHAHAHAHA- ahhh eh... don't have a funny bone, eh?...
Lisa: I heard a lot about you too Com—or should I say not a commander at all. Yes, I am his daughter, and to answer your question, I might be as much twisted as him.
Argos: Woah, why do I sense that you might hate my guts? Hahaha
Lisa: That could be possible. But you know Argos, I might like you if you would tell me right away the location of the gold that both of you are hiding. She smirks
Argos: HAHAHA, you clever b*stard. HAHAHAHA. I like this new you! HAHAHAHAHAH
Commander Bae: Argos!!! He said
Argos: Oh, sorry, this is the first time that I experienced that she is like this. Hahaha. Like she is drunk. Hahahaha
Commander Bae: Shut up.
Lisa: I'll take my leave Commanders, oh, my bad, Commander Bae and Argos.
Argos: Seriously, I like her attitude. He whispered to the soldiers behind him
Before Lisa could reach for the doorknob, her attention was once again called upon Commander Bae.
Commander Bae: Tell me Lalisa... did you come here with the purest intentions? He asked
All the people in the room are waiting for Lisa's response. It was odd that Commander Bae would ask such a question knowing that he knew all along the plan of getting Irene to get through him but at the back of his mind, playing with her daughter's heart is never a positive gamble.
Lisa: If I would say yes, would you believe it, Commander? She asked back
Commander Bae: No.
Lisa: Then you have the answer.
Commander Bae did not stop there, he fired another question at her.
Commander Bae: What is Irene to you then
Lisa took a deep breath, this would be her critical scene to play, to give out such words for everyone in that room to hate her.
Slowly, Lisa turned her body to face the crowd in the room, she looked at Irene who was still soundly asleep, and shifted her eyes to the father who would do anything for his daughter.
Lisa: I think you already have that answer Commander Bae, but to make it even clearer to everyone in this room, Irene is my subject. I will use her to get what we want, I believe I'm not spoiling our plan, since you have already read my actions. I will hurt her and break her.
Seulgi and Bo-gum's hands were clenched upon hearing Lisa's words about hurting Irene.
Argos: Do you think the plan of your twisted commander is working? You are right, we have already seen them pass through his plan and make countermeasures about it.
Lisa: Really? Good for you then. Three more days to go... we'll see what will happen next. Are you excited? Or are you worried?
Lisa smirked
Lisa: You should be.
Seulgi: Just for gold... your country would go that far...
Lisa: And just for gold your country does not want to let go of it to achieve peace.
Seulgi: And just for gold you would hurt Irene?
Lisa: It depends on how the outcome will be... if you are obliged to our condition, then I might not hurt her at all, but if you think otherwise then, I will hurt her.
Bo-gum: You are as twisted as your commander.
Lisa: I'll take that as a compliment. She smiled
Nayeon: How could you Lisa...
The room became silent for a brief moment, all were in disbelief such evil words came out from Lisa's mouth. Even Argos was shocked by Lisa's words. It made them question, what is the next plan of that twisted commander and how it would all end.
Argos: If you were my child, I would give you one hell of a beating and scolding!!!
He broke the silence
Commander Bae: I have changed my mind regarding our plan. He said softly
But still, everyone in the room heard what Commander Bae said.
Commander Bae: For the safety of my daughter... He looked at Argos
Argos on the other hand was confused about the sudden change of mind of his friend, he thought maybe because of the fear that Irene would be hurt was a huge factor.
Commander Bae: Lalisa... Do not come near my daughter again!!!
Lisa: I don't think it is possible Commander Bae, the only one who can order me to do so is the one you called a twisted commander. I'll take my leave, have a nice evening then.
Lisa closed the door behind her, convinced that her words took a strike off each of them, leaving them puzzled but yet leaving them another reason to prepare for something big coming.
---------------------
Argos: What were you thinking Bae?! We need Irene and Lisa to be close to each other... if we want to be close to Lisa!
Commander Bae: Don't you see Argos... even if it is true... it seems she's a wall that is difficult to break and I don't want to risk my daughter getting hurt!
Argos: I trust Irene can bring back the old Lisa! You should have faith in her!
Commander Bae: You heard what she said Argos! Loud and clear! She will hurt and break her! Let's accept the fact that your daughter is no longer inside of her... she's gone!
Both argue the situation, one who wants his daughter out of danger but one who trusts that his friend's daughter can bring back her Lisa. Commander Bae was about to speak again when they heard a little sound coming from Irene.
Irene: Hmmmm...
Nayeon: Commander can we let this rest for the day?... I think Irene really needs rest... and you two arguing might wake her up.
Argos: You are right Nayeon... let's talk about this tomorrow... alright Bae?
Commander Bae didn't respond but gave a nod to his friend saying he agreed to his suggestion.
Argos: Okay I will leave first... update me with Irene's situation. He said at Seulgi
Seulgi: Yes sir.
Argos immediately left and went to the parking lot, it was already night, and no one was in the parking lot, when he entered his car he looked at the backseat for any intruder because he felt that someone was following him.
He was about to close the door at his side when he suddenly jumped on his seat when someone just opened the door at the passenger side and comfortably took a sit inside his car. Argos couldn't believe his eyes, so he was right all along that someone was following him, but what made his jaw drop was the person sitting next to him.
Lisa: We need to talk Commander.
------------------------
It was already late at night and a car just parked outside the house of Argos Manoban. The house seems normal, nothing odd or unusual being suspected but the call that they received was in question.
Chaeyoung: Why did Commander Argos call us again?
Jisoo: I don't know, he said it is important... it is already night... and he told us to bring gadgets and kinds of stuff... for what? She asked
Chaeyoung: It's already 10 in the evening... maybe it is good if we go inside so we will know why he wants us to be here... that's the best answer we can get rather than just staying here.
Jisoo: Good point. Let's go.
Jisoo and Chaeyoung immediately get out of the car bringing them a box full of gadgets and electronic materials. They knocked at the door but no one seemed to answer, they tried it a couple of times and eventually, they heard a voice coming towards the door.
Argos: Wait. Coming!
When the door was opened, the two almost lay on the ground laughing because the great Commander Argos Manoban was wearing a cute apron with flower printed on it.
Chaeyoung and Jisoo: PFFFFFFTTTTTTT......... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Jisoo: HAHAHAHAHA! MY GOSH COMMANDER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Chaeyoung: Commander, what's the truth? CONFUSED OR CONFIRMED??? HAHAHAHAHA!
Argos: ST*PID!! Do you want to have a broken bone?! I am cooking! And I have a visitor! You can enter we will do something.
Chaeyoung: What are we doing? Why do you want us to bring our---- OH F*CK!!! She drops what she is holding
Jisoo: Huh what is that Chae----- WAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! She shockingly said
When they entered Commander Manoban's house, they were shocked when they saw someone they least expected to see. She is just sitting on the sofa with her hands crossed on her chest and closed eyes.
Jisoo: What is she doing here? She whispered
Chaeyoung: Commander is this a hostage?...
Argos: I also don't know... that is what also in my mind that he hostage me inside my car... but it seems not... and do you want to know what is weird?
Jisoo: What is it?
Argos: She called me commander... and she wants us to talk... but it is not happening because you guys need to be here first, that is what she said... earlier in the hospital she was arguing with me... and now she is quiet. Maybe she is really Bipolar---
Lisa: I am not bipolar.
Lisa heard what they were talking about loud and clear. She stood up from the couch and made her way towards them. She looked each of them in the eyes and spoke.
Lisa: I need your help.
How the three person in the room has their jaws dropped like a heavy stone.
Chaeyoung: Are you se-serious?
Jisoo: Tell me you are kidding, right?
Lisa: I don't joke.
Somehow when Argos heard what Lisa said that she doesn't joke he finally saw a glimpse of his daughter.
Lisa: Will you help me or not? She asked seriously
Argos: Hmmm... give us one good reason why would we help you? If I remember clearly you are at war with us and of course how you demented spoke that we should be worried. Oh yeah! You're the enemy!
Lisa looked at her commander seriously, he has always had this side of him being all sarcastic and a pain in the *ss at times.
Lisa: If you want to stop him take a risk with me.
Chaeyoung: Wait, we don't understand... what is happening here?!
Jisoo: Lisa are you on our side?!
Argos: Kidding aside. Who are we talking with? He said in a serious manner
No more jokes, no more pretend Commander Argos spoke with his authoritative voice.
Lisa looked each person in the eye but locked her eyes on her commander.
Lisa: Lalisa Manoban.
The three in the room were in shock both Jisoo and Chaeyoung had their eyes wide open in disbelief but Commander Argos made sure his composure was still visible.
Argos: A Manoban, not a Yang?... tell me how did that happen?
Lisa smirked at her Commander. She saw how her commander was challenging her to prove her words.
Lisa: When a lady named Misha Bae saw goodness in me and asked a young commander at that time to save me.
Argos smiled with such delight, for the first time again he felt alive. He even felt a tear escape his eyes.
Argos: Welcome back kid! You idiot!!!
He hugged Lisa tight in his arms, with no more doubts nor questions instantly he knew that it was his daughter, Lalisa Manoban, and not a f*cking Yang.
Lisa hugged back, she was a bit shy at first and not to mention was shocked when her commander hugged her but she eventually responded, that she wouldn't deny to herself how she misses the person whom her commander and her father were.
While the two were just left dumbfounded.
Chaeyoung: Li-Lisa? Her voice sounded like she was about to cry
Jisoo: Ca-captain?... She was already in tears
Lisa slowly backed away from the hug of her commander and faced her friends whom she also lost for two years and the only word she could think to say at that time was.
Lisa: Hey. She smiled
Jisoo: Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! Lisa!!!
Chaeyoung: You idiot!!!
They quickly hugged her eventually the three were on the floor because of the force they launched at Lisa.
Lisa: You guys turned out to be a much stronger Arms division.
The three slowly stood up, in that very room they felt a part of their missing piece had finally been completed.
Lisa: Now, will you help me?
Argos: What do you have in mind, Lisa?
Lisa: But before anything else... you are the only people I trust completely... let this be just between the four of us that I have already regained my memories... can I trust you with that?
Chaeyoung: Why Lis?
Lisa: Simple, I'm playing with his game, and I will defeat him. I need to be believable in their eyes.
Argos: I see... clever kid.
Jisoo: So what do you want us to do?
Lisa just smiled at them.
------------------
Irene: Hmmmmm... Lis...
Irene was speaking between her dreams, and her father immediately noticed it. He went to his daughter, her friends already left and he was the only one staying. He stroked Irene's head to calm her down.
Commander Bae: Irene... it's okay...
Irene: Lisa...
Commander Bae heard Irene calling Lisa, and he admires his daughter, even in her dreams she is still looking for Lisa. He was shocked when Irene suddenly shouted and sat up.
Lisa: Sh*t, Lisa!!!
She called Lisa.
Commander Bae: Irene, you had a bad dream... He tried to calm Irene
Irene breathed heavily and cried because of her dream, the feeling that she was looking for Lisa and then she disappeared. It feels that her dream is true, Lisa came back to her that she can remember. But whyn't Lisa is looking for her?
Irene: Dad... where is Lisa? Was she here?... She asked with a weak tone
Commander Bae: Yes Irene... she was here earlier...
Irene: It wasn't a dream! She excitedly said
Irene wants to get out and look for Lisa but she is immediately stopped by her father.
Commander Bae: Irene... you need to rest first... it is already night...
Irene: Dad! Lisa already remembers us! She remembers!
It feels that Commander Bae is the one who is hurting his daughter, the words that Lisa said earlier echoed in his head, and convinced himself that the Lisa they all knew no longer existed.
Commander Bae: Irene... it is all a dream...
Irene: No dad... I know it happened and I know it is true... I am just pissed because she put me to sleep! She should be ready when we see each other again!
Commander Bae: Irene, that's enough! It was a dream, that's it! The Lisa you met is gone... okay? And I do not want you to come near her!!! He said angrily
Irene was shocked at what her father said. Her brow creased and look at Commander Bae's eyes.
Irene: You told me to be close to her... to get her on our side, and now you want me to stay away from her? Why dad?...
There was dead air that came for a few minutes, Commander Bae was not able to answer.
Irene: Dad?... She said softly
Commander Bae: I don't want you getting hurt... hurt by her...
Irene smiled and touched his father's hand to comfort him.
Irene: I won't get hurt, Dad... I have complete trust in her... and you should too... trust me, dad...
Commander Bae locked his eyes on his daughter.
Commander Bae: Why do you have such faith in her?
Irene: Because I believe there is goodness in her and of course I love her, that's why. She smiled
