Chapter 8
- Lisa's POV
- "What happened, Jen?"
- Jennie looked at me with a confuse look "What do you mean, what happened?"
- "We lost communication. We were okay then suddenly you never contacted me again."
- "I lost my phone and never got the chance to recover your number. I'm sorry."
- "Mommyyyy!" Gab waved at them while she's riding a carousel
- "Smile, Gab!" Lisa took a picture of the little girl using her phone
- "I thought you realised that you don't have anything to do with me." Lisa looked at Jennie "Tell I am wrong."
- "Completely wrong, Lisa." She said looking back at Lisa "I thought I would never see you again."
- "Well, I'm here now." Lisa gave her companion a sweet smile
- "For how long? You need to go back to Jeju."
- Lisa saw the worry in Jennie's eyes "I'll stay here as long as you want me here."

- Third Person's Pov
- "Let's make a deal." Lisa announced
- "What deal, mommy?" Gab asked
- "If you and mommy Jen win, I'll buy you whatever toy you want but if I win.. I'll sleep in your house for tonight."
- Jennie put her hands on her waist "Seriously, Lisa?"
- "It's a deal!" Gab squealed in excitement
- Lisa and Gab shook hands.
- "Wait! How about my say to your deal?" Jennie protested
- "Don't worry, mommy." Gab tapped her mother's forearm "We'll win this one."
- Lisa and Jennie shook their head, can't believe that they are talking to a five year old girl.
- Lisa and Jennie looked at each other before she began to play basketball in the arcade.
- "Go, mommy Lisa!" Gab cheered that made Jennie frown while playing
- "Yah! Gab! You should cheer for me!" Jennie complained
- "She wants me to sleep in your house, that is for sure." Lisa winked at Jennie
- Jennie groaned not because of Lisa's antics but because Lisa is winning.
- ~~
- "You two cheated on me." Jennie complained at her two companions "You planned this, yeah?" She asked Lisa
- They are walking back to their car, Lisa carrying Gab while Jennie is carrying the toys they bought for Gab and Chaesoo's son.
- "More on, Gab planned that deal." Lisa high fived Gab then they laughed
- "I'm sorry, mommy." Gab said to Jennie "I just want to spend more time with mommy Lisa."
- Jennie sighed and patted her daughter's head "I understand, baby."
- They reached Lisa's car and they drove back to the Kim's house.
- "We're home!" Gab happily yelled
- Chaesoo, V and Mrs. Kim welcomed them with smile.
- They turned the tv off and went to the new family.
- "Did you have fun?" V crouched in front of Gab then tapped the kid's head
- "Yes, uncle! Mommy Lisa brought us to the arcade and she bought me and Nathan new clothes and toys!" She excitedly said
- Rosé went to her cousin who is standing next to Jennie "You already spoiled your daughter."
- Lisa smiled, hearing Gab as her daughter "Can't blame me."
- Jennie faked a cough "Uh, Lisa will sleep here tonight."
- Jisoo smirked "That fast?"
- Jennie glared at her sister "These two made a deal that I can't say no and I won't explain it to you guys."
- "I need to go now, I need to get some stuffs." Lisa announced
- After she bid her goodbye to everyone, Jennie accompanied Lisa to her car.
- "Thank you for making Gab happy." Jennie genuinely smiled "Thank you for making me happy."
- "A hug will do." Lisa spread her arms
- Jennie scoffed before she hug Lisa "Text me if you're on your way back here."
- "Give me your new number first." Lisa giggled, hugging the kitten tightly
- They stayed in that position for awhile.
- "I really need to go now, Nini."
- Jennie pulled away from the hug "Give me your phone."
- Lisa handed her phone to Jennie.
- "There!" Jennie saved her number to Lisa's phone "Drive safe, Lili."
- "It really feels good hearing that from you."
- Jennie laughed "Go now, Lili."
- Jennie was caught off guard when Lisa stepped forward and kissed her forehead.
- ~~
- "What are you cooking, mom?" Gab asked
- "I'm cooking mommy Lili's favorite." Jennie answered "Help auntie Rosé to prepare the table, mommy Lili texted me that she's on her way here."
- "Really?" Gab jumped up and down "I'll help auntie now." She then went to the dining room
- Jennie shook her head on how her daughter acted.
- "She really loves Lisa."
- "Hmm. I smell my favourite kimchi fried rice." Someone spoke and snaked her arms around Jennie's waist from the back
- "Lili! You startled me!" Jennie slightly punched Lisa's arm
- Lisa rested her head on Jennie's shoulder "You cooked my favourite?"
- "Yes, I just thought to do you a favor."
- "You don't really have to but thank you, Nini." She kissed Jennie's head "I'll court you, Nini."
- "Lili.." Jennie's surprised to hear that from Lisa
- "I'm not asking for your permission, Nini. I'll court you whether you like it or not."
- "We'll talk later, okay?"
- "Aww. How sweet." Jisoo cooed while taking a picture of the two "Look at your mommies, Gab."
- Lisa removed herself from Jennie and smiled awkwardly at the whole Kim family who were staring at them.
- "Lisa, can we talk?" Mrs. Kim said
- Lisa looked at Jennie first before she followed Jennie's mother.
- ~~
- "What are your intentions to my daughter, Lisa?"
- "Pure and sincere, Mrs. Kim." Lisa politely answered "I like your daughter."
- "Even if she has a daughter?"
- They are in the garden, sitting on a bench.
- "Yes, Mrs. Kim. Gab is a lovely kid, she caught my heart with her charm. She reminds me of my daughter."
- "We're not rich, Lisa. You see, Jennie just came from an average family."
- "I don't really care about that, Mrs. Kim. Just like Jennie, I also worked hard before I got what I have now. After the accident happened to my life, I had a hard time recovering from it, I started from nothing, from zero."
- "Don't hurt my daughter, Lisa. Her ex-boyfriend Kai cheated on her, their father left us for another woman and I don't want her to experience another heart break again."
- "Count on my words, Mrs. Kim." She held the old woman's hand "I will take care and love Jennie and Gab."
- ~~
- "Lisa, when will you officially take over the company? The board of members kept on asking me about it." Rosé opened up a topic while they are having their dinner
- "Maybe next week. I just need to fix some things before meeting them."
- "Have you found a new secretary?" Rosé asked again
- "I have someone that I want to hire but I don't think she'll agree with it." She glanced at Jennie "She's busy running her boutique and being a mommy to Gab."
- Jennie almost choked the food she's eating "M-me? You want me to be your secretary?"
- "I'm hoping but I understand if you can't." She plastered an assuring smile
- "I really want to but my little business needs me. I'll just help you to find a perfect secretary."
- Lisa shook her head in disapproval "No need, Nini."
- "It's V's summer vacation, why don't you hire him instead?" Jisoo suggested
- "I'm not fit for that job, eonni." V said
- "I'll guide you." Lisa said "I don't want to hire an stranger, it will be better if I'll get someone I know."
- "Lisa is right, besides you said that you want to buy a new camera, right? You can buy it with your own money." Jisoo said, convincing her youngest sibling
- "Ow, I remembered when we were in Jeju, Jennie said that you're also into photography?"
- "Yeah, I want to capture precious moments." V answered "Are you also into photography?"
- "She is." Jennie answered on behalf of Lisa "You remember the photos of me that I showed to you last week? Lisa was the one who took those photos."
- "Your soon to be secretary slash brother-in-law and you will get along." Rosé winked at Lisa
- Their dinner was filled with laughter and joy. Something that Lisa missed so much.
