Jennie's POV

I'm on my way right now to Lisa's apartment just because of the text that dad sent me

I'm sitting at the back of the car with Mr. Kang driving to Lisa's place.

"Miss Kim we checked her background. It seems like she's been struggling in life, that's why she took the deal" Mr. Kang says while driving

"She needs money, does she? " I said rolling my eyes and looking outside the window

"Yeah, her mom and dad died when she was 12 years old when she stayed with her best friend's family till she turned 18" he said making me look back at him

"Her family died? " I asked still having a poker face

"Yeah and when she finally moved out she started working in a lot of different kinds of works. She's been studying in the morning and working at night. Then she also works during the weekends" he said and you can hear how much he pity Lisa with his voice.

Once we pulled over on a very populated place Mr. Kang went out and open up the door for me, some of the guards that have been following us with an extra vehicle went around to guard me while I step out of the car. A lot of people started looking at us which makes me uncomfortable. When we went in Mr. Kang lead me to the stairs

"I won't fucking take those stairs Mr. Kang" I said crossing my arms

"This is the only way, Miss Kim. They don't have elevators since the rental here is very cheap. Ms. Manoban's room is on the third floor so we need to go by the stairs" he said making me groan as I start walking through the stairs on my heels.

Once we arrived on the third floor Mr. Kang knocked on the door while giving me a handkerchief to wipe my sweat

"Wait up! " we heard Lisa shouting from the inside. When she opened the door she bowed down to greet all of us one by one which includes my guards.

"Come in, what brought you here? " she asked so I came in first being followed by the guards

"Is this your place? "

I look around at how tiny the place is.

"Yeah, you can sit here... Sorry I can't offer sits for you guys since I only have a few chairs" she said smiling a bit to the guards which they just waved their hands to.

"Are you eating instant noodles for dinner? " I said sitting at the chair which sounds very old by the way it creaks

"That's the only thing I can afford" she said chuckling as she pointed at her counter that has a couple of instant noodles there.

"Dad told me to pick you up" I said while she started eating after she offered one to each one of us which we all declined.

"What for? Isn't it late? " she said looking outside and the sun's starting to set. "I also have work after this" she said chewing her food

"Skip your work" I said looking away

"I can't.. I'll lose it if I will" she said while stirring her noodles

"We're paying you to do this so you might as well stop working cause we'll pay you a big amount of cash. We'll both benefit from this deal. Also, dad told me to pick you up, what do you think will the media say if they found out that you're living here? " I said standing up "don't prepare or anything. Don't bring anything, we'll buy you clothes and every single thing you need" I said walking outside with the guards following me

"Let's go Jennie Kim" she says holding her phone that has a crack on its screen and not a Samsung nor an iPhone

"What? " she asked making me turn my gaze away

"I'm wearing a pair of heels and I walk up here on the third floor with these" I said rolling my eyes and was about to go down when I felt an arm on my waist and the other under my leg

"Ya Manoban put me down!! " I screamed out and the guards aren't even doing a thing and I can even see Mr. Kang smiling as Lisa walk down to the ground floor before she puts me down

"I'm gonna fucking kill you Manoban" I said and rolled my eyes as I started walking towards the car

"Wait for me Jennie Kim" she said chuckling as she sits next to me in the car thanking Mr. Kang for opening up the door for us which is not normal.

When we're on our way to the penthouse I can see that she's using her phone probably texting which makes the car quiet

"Who are you texting? " I asked still not looking at her

"Jennie Kim don't be jealous it's just our first day--" I immediately hit her arm which makes her chuckle as she put her arms up in surrender

"I'm texting my best friend Jisoo since she might go here. Can I give her your address so if she wants to visit me... I mean if that's fine with you" she said looking at me

"What's her number? " I asked pulling out my phone then she started saying the number while I put down the address and lend her my phone

"Use this one.. I'll buy you a new phone tomorrow since yours is broken already " I said as she takes my phone

"I mean it's still functioning but thank you" she said smiling as she started talking to her friend using my phone. When we arrived at the penthouse she gave me back my phone without even deleting their conversation. People usually delete conversations if they use other people's phones.

We went up to my penthouse and she's already amazed by the living room and her eyes are just roaming around

"I'll lead you to your room so I can go and sleep" I said and started walking upstairs showing her room

"Isn't this too big? " she asked looking around

"My room is the same size " I said "go have a proper meal downstairs, there are foods on the fridge" I said walking out of her room

"Wait! " she called out so I stopped walking

"What about you, aren't you going to eat? " she asked

"I already ate earlier" I simply said and walk inside my room

"Jennie Kim, thank you for all of these by the way " she yelled out even though I already went inside my bedroom.
