Chapter 5 ❤️

Lisa's POV

I’m lying on my bed when my phone suddenly rings. I grab it and look at the caller ID.

Bambam is calling.

"Any news, Bam?" I immediately ask. He’s my friend from Thailand.

"Lis, I got some leads. She’s in Seoul right now, and I have her address," he says, making me smile.

"Finally!"

He chuckles on the other end of the line when he hears my excitement.

"Excited, huh?" Bambam laughs. "I’ll send it to you now."

"Thank you so much, Bam. This is really good news." I can’t stop smiling, just at the thought of seeing her again.

"You can count on me, Lis. I know how much you want to see her," he says.

I sigh.

"But I don’t know if she still wants to see me."

He sighs too.

"Hey, cheer up, lady. With that pretty, handsome face of yours, I’m sure she still wants to see you," Bambam chuckles.

"Sorry, Bam. I don’t have coins," I joke.

He laughs loudly.

"I want to cheer you up. Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you. I’ve got to go now. I have more stuff to do. Good luck," he says before hanging up.

"Thanks again, Bam."

I sigh, then slam myself back onto the bed, unable to wipe the smile off my face.

How can I sleep now, knowing you’re near? I miss you so much, H. See you soon.

Just as I’m about to drift off to sleep, I hear a noise outside my room.

What was that?

I get up and head toward the sound, trying to figure out where it came from.

Jennie’s POV

It’s almost midnight, but I can’t sleep. I’m wearing a mask because I sleep better with one on my face. I don’t know why, but my adrenaline is just so high tonight.

I decide to have some ice cream, but when I reach for the tub, I accidentally knock over a bottle of wine with my elbow.

"Shit!"

"Jennie, what the heck?" I scold myself, rushing to find a tissue to clean up the mess.

Suddenly, someone speaks behind me.

"Don’t move! Who are you?"

"Yah!" I flinch and point a broken shard of glass toward the voice behind me.

The person quickly grabs my arm and yanks me back, pinning me against the wall.

The hell?!

"Who are you?!" she demands, trying to corner me and grip me roughly.

It’s Lisa!

"Yah! Aww!" I groan in pain. "What the heck? It’s me, Jennie!" I say in a frustrated tone.

"Oh, Dr. Kim, sorry! I didn’t know!" Lisa immediately releases me, looking worried. "Did I hurt you?"

"Can’t you see? I’m wearing a facial mask! And I’m... I’m not some stunt for you to pull off in my own house," I shout, furious.
