I Hate U | Jenlisa

Chapter 42

Lisa looked indecisively at Rosé's name flashing on the screen of her phone, then decided to ignore the call, even though she felt guilty. But at least Rosé knew that Lisa couldn't take any calls right now.

Together with Mason and Soojin, she was in an office at police headquarters, talking to a police officer who was in charge of testimonies. Lisa had accompanied Soojin, not only to give a statement herself, but mainly as emotional support.
Soojin looked curiously at Lisa's screen.

"It's Rosé? Why aren't you answering it?",

she asked curiously.
Lisa looked sheepishly at the policeman, who simply smiled politely, not bothered by the interruption.

"We're in the middle of the testimony...",

Lisa mumbled anyway.
Today, Thursday evening, had been the next possible date that suited both Mason and Soojin. They had told what they knew about how Soojin had been stalked and had turned in the phone.
It was emotional. Soojin was close to tears several times and the story took a long time. The police officer kept asking questions, wanted to hear things in more detail, and it upset Soojin incredibly.
Nevertheless, she was very composed at the moment, even though the call interrupted her. Perhaps she was just glad of the distraction.

"And Rosé knows that. She wouldn't call if it wasn't important. Answer it.",

she demanded.
Lisa sighed and looked first at the policeman, who seemed to be ignoring the conversation, then at Mason, who nodded in agreement.
Lisa picked up the phone.

"What's up?"

"Bloody hell, you're answering. Lisa, it's important. Are you still at the police headquarters?"

Rosé asked, sounding absolutely rushed.
Lisa blinked, overwhelmed. What situation was she in right now?

"Uhh... Yes. We're in the middle of the testimony..."

Rosé interrupted her almost immediately.

"Perfect. Lis, listen to me. Jennie's run away."

Lisa furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"Ran away?"

"Yes. It... Is somehow my fault? Never mind. Jisoo's trying to follow her, but that's not the problem. Someone is following Jennie, Lisa. I think they need help.",

Rosé said hastily.
Lisa immediately jumped up from her chair, which banged on the floor from the quick movement, drawing surprised looks. She put the call on speaker.

"What happened?"

"I said something stupid. Jennie knows that you beat up the three boys who tried to rape Soojin..."

Soojin turned pale when she heard Rosé's words and seemed to sink into her chair in shame, while the policeman took notice.

"But she doesn't know anything about what those idiots were up to. And she knows about the fan account. Jisoo said Jennie cried and then just ran out without saying a word. Then suddenly someone followed her, as if they were just waiting for Jennie to be alone."

Rosé sounded like she was running, and the draft made it a little harder to hear her.
Mason took the phone from Lisa, who stood transfixed.

"Honey, where are you running to?"

"To Bambam's. He lives closer to Jennie than we do, and I thought... I don't know what I was thinking. Dad, what am I supposed to do?"

The cop motioned for Mason to hand him the cell phone.

"Miss Park?"

"Yes?"

"Listen carefully. Go and see this friend. He's male? Stay there. Can you give me the address of Jennie...?"
