"Come on let's have breakfast together." I was preparing the kimchi fried rice and tteoboki at the dining table when Lisa got out from the guest room.

"Good morning, Kryst. Thanks for cooking."

"Good morning, Lis." I seated across the table. "Could you check your phone? It has been ringing the moment you went to your dreamland. That must be important."

"Sorry, I'll check it later."

"Are you and Miss Bae, doing okay?"

"We broke up the other day."

I accidentally dropped my spoon. "What? Why?" I went to pick it up from the floor and washed it.

"Joohyun couldn't control her jealousy over petty things, probably I've been hurting her unknowingly and it all bottled up inside and suddenly it was triggered and she really became angry." Lisa explained.

"But why? How on earth she got triggered?" I asked curiously. Probably because of Jennie.

"Her friend got suspicious and asked someone to follow me. There were photos taken and it was misinterpreted by them." Lisa shook her head.

"So they caught you with Jennie?"
She looked at me.

"Nope," she took a sip of her coffee.

"Can you please tell me, Lisa? I don't want to keep on guessing anymore. Who else could be Miss Bae got jealous with other than Jennie?"

She continued eating then smiled nonchalantly. "The photos are all about us, hanging out."

I swallowed my food instantly and I felt like choking. Lisa hurried to my side and gave me a glass of water.
"You okay? Drink some more."

"What photos of us?" I recovered and asked.

"Just us being out from various places. You know nothing really suspicious about those photos. They just see it wrongly."

"Why are you even so cool about it? So I was the reason of your break up? Why didn't you even tell me so I can clear up things for you?"

"It's not your fault, okay? We're not doing anything wrong. I already explained that I was with a friend but I never mentioned you to Joohyun that we do really hang out. Anyway, you are unrecognizable in those photos."

"But Lisa, we can both clear up things with Miss Bae, so you can go back together, problem solved."

"It's not easy. Right now I am entangled with a bigger mess. I am trying to protect everyone."

"What kind of mess you got yourself into?"

"Long story, Kryst. But remember my friend Jeongyeon? She's a police officer. She is helping me to sort out things. I got involved somehow in an incident at the club just recently. I don't want Joohyun to get stressed so I rather fix this alone."

"Lis, you know I am here to help you."

"I know, that's why I don't want any of you to get involved. The less you know the better. It's not that I don't trust you. The reason I am here is because I know I can depend on you."

I embraced her. I was overwhelmed that she cares for me and trust me enough even we just became new friends. I am always grateful that Lisa came into my life. "Just in case you change your mind, Lis. You know where to find me and you can always call me. I'll come running to help you."

"I know, Kryst. Thanks. Let's finish our breakfast."

Lisa provided me Jeongyeong's contact information just in case of emergency. She told me that it might come handy. She's at the couch watching the news. Everytime her phone rang she put it on silent. She must be avoiding that person intentionally. Another ring but this one, Lisa picked up excitedly. I wondered who sets her mood today.
