3ʳᵈ POV
"Because that message is the same as the one I got from that psycho this morning." Lisa revealed, and the three women are taken aback.
"I'll tell you the details later. We need to leave now because it's unsafe here." Lisa said seriously, and the three agreed with her.
Later on.
Jisoo and Rosé are now both concerned about the safety of their friends, that is why they have decided to stay with Lisa and Jennie. They are now in the married couple's living room. Lisa is sitting next to her wife, while her friends are on the opposite couch. The three women look worriedly at Lisa as they wait for her to explain the details of the note she received this morning. She took a sip of her wine and sighed deeply before beginning her story.
"What we're going to talk about tonight is confidential, and I know I can trust you all about it." Lisa said and sighed before continuing. "A guard in my company building is done on his night shift and about to leave the building premises at dawn. An intruder suddenly attacked him when he was leaving the building. Then someone saw him lying on the ground and immediately brought him to the hospital. He's still unconscious up to now, but fortunately there's a CCTV in that area and they've got the footage of what happened." Lisa explained.
Jennie is about to ask Lisa about the video when the Thai takes her phone from her pocket and shows them the footage.
The guard is walking down the alleyway of the building when an intruder in a black hooded jacket with a mask appears and approaches him from behind. He smacked a stone on the guard's head, knocking him to the ground. The intruder in the hooded jacket is observing his victim's condition when the guard suddenly moves and removes his mask, (but the guy's face is still unclear on the video) the intruder is about to punch him but the guard dodges it, causing the guy to punch the floor. The intruder winced in pain, but he still punched the guard in the face several times, knocking him out. The intruder picked up his mask and put it back on before leaving a note on his hand and leaving the guard unconscious on the floor.
After watching the video, the three women look pale. Jennie looks worriedly at Lisa, but her wife looks away and returns her phone to her pocket.
"Can I see the note, honey?" Jennie asked her wife.
"Lisa, we want to see the note as well." Jisoo said, concernedly looking at Lisa.
"The message is the same with Mino." Lisa replied quickly, without looking at her wife. The three women look suspicious to the Thai because they know she's hiding something.
"I still want to see it, honey. I know you're hiding something. Is that why I haven't been able to contact you since you left my office this morning? I want to see the note." Jennie said sternly to Lisa.
"My phone isn't working because I dropped it on the floor this morning while rushing out of your office. The one I'm showing you with that video is a new one that my assistant bought this afternoon." Lisa explained to her wife.
"No more excuses. I want to see the note." Jennie says, motioning with her hand to hand over the note. Lisa sighed deeply with her brow furrowed. She knows that she can't win to her wife. She took out her phone once more and showed the three women the photo of the note.
"I don't want to play anymore Manoban. You pissed me off by taking my Ruby Jane to another country. I can't imagine the dirty things you did to her. You don't have the right to touch my Ruby Jane. SHE'S MINE. I will never ever forgive you for taking what's mine.
This is not a warning. This is the beginning of the end Lalisa Manoban. The clock is already ticking. I'm going to get what's mine."
- K
The three women can't believe in what they've read. Lisa quickly took her phone and returned to her seat on the couch. She finishes her glass of wine and refills it.
"Lisa, he's threatening you now." Rosé expressed concern to her friend.
"There's an initial now on the note Lisa, and whoever that K is, he's really a psycho. How can he do those terrible things?" Jisoo worriedly said.
Lisa is about to finish her wine when Jennie abruptly stops her and hugs her.
"Honey, what are we going to do now? He's making his move. First that guard, then Mino. What if they hurt our family or our friends next time. What if it's you next time? I can't let him hurt any of you because of me. If he wants me, I'll go to him and ask him to stop if that's the only way to end all of this." Jennie said with tears in her eyes. Lisa suddenly removed Jennie's hand from her waist and walked away from them. Then she smashes the glass in her hand at the wall, startling the three women.
"Lalisa!" Jisoo called out, but Lisa didn't look at her.
"You'll go to that guy." Lisa sarcastically chuckled. "How could you think that way, Jennie? Do you know how that guy thinks? Do you think he'll listen to you just because you ask? Jennie, he wants you! He's obsessed with you! If you go to him, it's as if you've already surrendered yourself to him. Listen to me! Please, that's all I ask of you. You will never go to him. I don't care if I have to hire a hundred bodyguards just to protect you and our loved ones. If you consider yourself to be a burden. I'll say it a thousand times again. YOU ARE NOT! You are my everything, Jennie. I will never give you up." Lisa said, her eyes welling up with tears.
"I'm so sorry Lisa, I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't know what to do if something happens to you." Jennie sobbed.
"Let's end this conversation. I promise you all, Mino will be his last victim. I will not let him touch any of you. I will not even let him touch a single strand of your hair, Jennie. He will never take you away. That psycho didn't know who he was up against." Lisa said sternly, looking away. Her phone then suddenly rings. She turned to face the caller and excused herself to answer the phone.
Jennie is curious as to who Lisa is speaking with. She is about to follow her wife, but Jisoo and Rosé stop her.
"Let's just wait for her, Jennie. Lisa will tell us if something happens again." Rosé said, walking over to Jennie's side to console her.
"Jendeukie, I can't believe you said those words. If I were Lisa, I would smack your head. Don't ever think of coming to that guy. You know how dangerous he is. Don't worry about us. We can protect ourselves. Just believe in Lisa, she will never let anything happen to us. Listen to her and stop being hard-headed." Jisoo told her cousin. Jennie nods slowly and suddenly hugs her cousin.
"I'm so sorry, unnie. I'm so afraid right now. I cannot afford to lose Lisa. I love her so much, unnie." Jennie said, breaking down again. Jisoo hugs her tightly, and Rosé hugs the both of them.
"Don't worry, Jennie, we will never let anything happen to Lisa. We will always be here for both of you. We will help you find that psycho." Rosé told Jennie.
"Thank you so much to both of you. You have no idea how grateful I am to have the two of you in our lives." Jennie sobbed.
Lisa came back after her phone call. When she sees the three women's state, her cold expression softens. She cleared her throat so that the three would notice her. When Jennie saw her wife return, she quickly wiped away her tears.
"Who called you, honey?" Jennie asked worriedly to her wife.
"Mr. Han called and informed me of the condition of those two victims." Lisa said as she crossed her arms across her chest and walked towards them. "They are both stable now, but they are still unconscious. Mr. Han has told us not to go to work for the meantime for our safety, and I have also hired guards for your parents' safety as well." The Thai said as she waited for Jennie's reaction, but the latter simply nodded her head slowly.
Lisa is relieved that Jennie is no longer complaining. "We're hoping the guard wakes up soon so we can get his statement. I hope he remembers the face of that psycho. We need to keep him safe because he's the key to find that psycho." She explained.
"You're right, Lisa. You should always remind your security to keep a close eye on him." Rosé said, and Lisa nodded.
"How about the scumbag?" Jisoo asked, drawing Rosé and Jennie's attention.
"I hope Mino wakes up soon as well because he needs to pay for what he did to Jennie." Lisa said, her gaze fixed on her wife.
"You're right, Lisa, we're not going to let him get away this time. That scumbag." Jisoo agreed. Rosé just scratched her neck as Jennie moved to the side of her wife.
"Mr. Han is also cooperating with Irene. The customer lists and the CCTV footage in the restaurant might help us find that psycho." Lisa explained to her two friends. "I hired security for both of you as well. I know you are not comfortable having them but please bear with it until we find that guy." Lisa said to her two friends.
"We understand, Lisa. If my father notices them, I'll just tell him that I hired them. I know he'll be grateful because he asked me to have them a long time ago." Rosé said, tapping Lisa on the shoulder.
"It's okay, Lisa. I'm thinking about staying with the two of you for a while as well. I can easily talk to Jennie about the agency when she's on leave, and it's better that the two of you have a companion as well." Jisoo said.
"That's a great idea, unnie. Is it okay with you Jennie?" Lisa asked her wife. Jennie hates it when Lisa calls her by her first name, but she can't do anything about it now. She is aware that Lisa is still upset with her for what happened earlier.
"Of course, honey. Unnie and I can talk about the agency easily when she's here." Jennie told her wife.
"But can I make a request?" Jisoo asked suddenly.
"What is it, unnie?" Lisa asked.
"Could you please reduce the volume of your moans when you do it? I don't want to be traumatized like my baby." Jisoo asked worriedly.
Rosé and Jennie's faces suddenly turned red, while Lisa's serious expression changed to a playful one.
"What if I don't want to unnie?" Lisa teased Jisoo.
"Yah Lalisa, you really want to traumatize me as well!" Jisoo exclaimed.
"I'm just kidding, unnie. You don't have to worry about it, our rooms are soundproof." Lisa said with a smile. Jisoo is going to smile when Lisa speaks again. "But I want to remind you that sometimes you can hear unnecessary noises in the kitchen, or in the living room, sometimes in the pool area, and-" Lisa was still speaking when Jennie suddenly covered her mouth with her hands. She's all red right now. She can't believe Lisa will tell it to their friends.
"Oh my goodness Jendeukie! I can't believe the two of you are like that." Jisoo exclaimed, looking surprised at her cousin.
"Yah unnie, don't believe her!" Jennie exclaimed, embarrassed.
"But you're so red right now." Jisoo says, laughing at her cousin. Lisa laughs as she removes her wife's hand from her mouth. Because of them, her anxiety and worry have subsided for a while. The Thai unexpectedly places her hands on her wife's waist and hugs her from behind. Jennie is taken aback by her wife's gesture. Lisa hugs her tightly before turning to face her two friends.
"I'm so thankful because the two of you never leave our sides even though you know that being with us is too dangerous right now. I promise that I will never let anyone take what we have now. I know that all of us will be genuinely happy in the near future. We can pass these challenges." Lisa said, motioning the two to hug them as well.
'The psycho said it's the beginning of our end, but he has no idea who he's up against. I will not give up without a fight. Once I found out who that K was. It will be the end of his end.' Lisa thought to herself.
