Chapter 9
"You're telling us that you just decided to kidnap us because you want to know how Lia is doing?" Karina said looking at the 4 girls as they nodded smiling, Ningning looked at Jennie and raised her brow "Are you not talking with Lia all the time?" The younger asked, Jennie blushed and looked away.
"I have another intention though" Jennie said "Like?" Karina asked looking around the backstage "Are you like gonna need our help asking Lia out?" Ningning asked drinking some water "How'd you know?" Rosé the Aussie accent asked eating some french fries "Oh you know, we just realized that you're looking our friend with heart eyes" Karina said. Jennie chuckled knowing they have a strong instinct that she really kidnap them because she need helped asking Lia out.
"I do" She looked at Lisa and Jisoo who's talking to Ningning "you really look like Jennie, you also had a mandu cheeks" Jisoo said pinching Ningning's left cheek while Lisa is poking her right cheek "Are you perhaps Jennie's long lost sister? That would be cool" Ningning looked at Jennie who's holding her cheek already while she looked at herself in the mirror beside her and back to Jennie as Ningning smirked "No wonder why Lia always clings to me" Jennie looked at her quickly jealousy bringing up "What do you mean?" she asked quickly
Karina looked at Jennie, she was currently telling something to Rosé about the history of the theatre when the topic is all about Lia "Oh yeah, Lia's favorite in our friends is Ningning. She mostly clings to her and give her some warm hugs whenever we have a vacant but she also does that to us but you don't have to be jealous we will be helping you out specially Ningning" Jennie sigh and looked at Ningning winking at her as she smiled.
"By the way, How did you guys came in here?" Ningning asked "To be honest, well we stole a uniform" Ning and Karina's eyes widened "It was Lisa's idea, I swear" Jisoo said showing the uniform "We are currently in the parking lot thinking on how are we gonna come in without the guard noticing then I saw some students coming out in their car and I guess they forgot to unlock it so I came up with the plan to steal the uniform good thing they are four" Lisa said nonchatly while Karina and Ningning is trying to hold their laughter, realizing the uniform is from the med students. The poor students for sure is having a hard time finding it already "Just thank to God that there are no CCTV in that spot" Karina said causing them to sigh in relief. They suddenly heard some murmuring causing them to shut up and cover Rosé's mouth since she was singing nonstop.
"I swear to God if they ever think of leaving the school without us knowing I will kill them" Karina and Ningning gasped when they heard Winter's voice and footsteps "Maybe they had an urgent meeting" They heard Lia's voice while Jennie smiled on how soft it is "The meeting room is just near the locker area. Ugh, they should have bring their phone with them" Giselle said "I'm hungry" Lia said causing Jennie to giggle lowly, they felt Lia and the two girls sit on the floor.
"What now?" Ningning said whispering looked at the four girls "I'll leave my number with the both of you, just promise me you won't post this on any social medias" Jennie said pleadingly "Oh you could trust us, you know we are a blink and we will surely help you to make Lia yours" Karina said confidently while Ningning already started dancing How you like that with Lisa the oldest started to laugh while Rosé is singing and jamming to it..They sure are dorks. Jennie shakes her head smiling for sure she will have a good time with this dorks. Jennie saved Karina's number to her phone and Ning's. They were about to leave when Giselle asked some question to Lia about Jennie. Karina and the rest of the girls stopped wanting to hear her answer. While, Jennie pressed her ear in the door.
"Jennie? you mean the idol?" Giselle hummed "Well, hmm let's see" Lia said thinking. On the other hand, Jennie was already nervous on what will the girl say while Karina and the rest of the girls decided to listen to "To be honest, I really don't know what to feel specially she's an idol and I researched about her a lot" Lia said opening some ships "What about the research?" Winter asked sitting beside Lia stealing some chips.
"I can't believe she's 25 years old but her face looks so young, she really has a nice vocal and good at dancing. What I really like about her is her dumpling cheeks and gummy smile but what I'm feeling? truth to be told I'm feelings so safe whenever I'm talking to her, I feel happy and contented mostly I feel loved" Jennie smiled while Lia and Rosé started slapping her back causing her to groan in pain and glared at them. Karina, Ningning and Jisoo couldn't help but smile.
"What do you mean by that?" Winter asked "I mean the statement 'you feel loved'. Do you have an ex already?" Winter asked again causing Giselle to nod "It's gonna be unfair if I tell to you guys knowing the 2 girls is not here but I need to tell because I know you both will beg me too" They chuckled "I've been bullied" Winter and Giselle widened their eyes while the 6 girls gasped and Jennie's heart dropped "H-how w-why?" Giselle managed to ask
"Right after I manage to recover from the accident it took mo 10 months to be back on track. You know, being the daughter of a CEO and a director I need to hide my real identity I started a new school. I really don't have a lot of friends they are countable and I know I could trust them. But, to the new school that I transferred from is not the things that I was expecting. The students there are so mean and had a group of bad influence. I just started my school and they started to call me names, harass me and of course bully. I also struggle a lot sometimes because the assignment that I'm doing all the bullies were looking at it passing it to their friends and right after they copy it they will rip it causing me to have a low grade. I tried to be strong but I can't, I broke down to my parents I know I shouldn't have too knowing my father will be so mad but I can't take it already. Dad and Mom instantly went to the school, sueing all the students who hurt me and the teachers who were not considerate. Mom and Dad took me back to my old school and that's where I felt safe with my friends. They treat me so well" Giselle and Winter tried their best not to tear up but it just fell "But you know even though I have that kinds of friends, there's this one person who really broke my heart and make me feel like I'm a useless person that person didn't know that I went in a bad accident" Lia said resting her head on Winter's shoulder
"How did you remember it?" Giselle asked, Lia sigh "I was cleaning my room. At that moment, I was in my drawers trying to take out all the trash when I saw my old phone that I was still using even before my accident. I tried opening it but it wasn't turning on, I have the same brand of my phone today so there's no problem with the charger. I tried to charge it so I could open it. It took time before it opened, I was surprised there's no password there were a lot of text from an Unknown number. It was saying that, I just vanished without any reason, you left the person who really cares for you a lot, you're a whore, I hope you choke to death, I hope you'll have a bad day. Of course, I cried at that time I mean who wouldn't right? I get rid of that phone and fixing myself trying to forget the things that I read. Though, sometimes it keeps flashing in my mind" Giselle and Winter just hug her tightly, they felt sad for their new soft friend.
On the other hand, Jennie's hand was turned into first already. She was angry when she heard Lia's stories. She doesn't deserve that treatment and words, if she ever finds out who that person is she's not gonna think twice but to sue that person and fire back all the words that the person said to her precious Lia. Karina and Ningning felt sad couldn't contain the sadness and the tears that were falling from their eyes while the three girls are calming Jennie down. The girls knew how protective Jennie is "Unnie, I think we should go. Lia probably need us right now" Jennie nodded and the two girls was about to leave but Jennie held their wrist "please, If I'm not around take good care of Lia" Jennie said "You know you could trust us" Jennie nodded while Karina and Ningning left on the other door wherein the girls wouldn't see, Jennie rest her forehead to the door sighing "You know what to do Jen" Jennie swallowed thickly looking at the girls "I promise, I will make her the happiest girl" Jennie said leaving while the girls followed.
"Can you please explain where the heck did the two of you went? We were freaking waiting for almost 2 hours" Winter said looking at Karina who's hugging Lia while Ningning is rubbing her back. Lia was so confused thinking why the hell her two friends is hugging her, she doesn't know what to do but to hug them back like a teddy bear "Guys, what's wrong?" Lia asked softly.
Karina pulled out the hug and looked at Lia deeply and back to her friends "Can we talk about this to our dorm?" Winter and Giselle saw the worried and sad eyes of her two friends so they quickly nodded and left.
Lia was currently sitting in between Karina and Ning while Giselle and Winter sat across them, they just ordered some chicken and cooked some ramen and rice. Lia still confused on what the hell is going with these two.
"So...What happened?" Giselle managed to ask, Karina looked at Ningning and she nodded the girl sigh "We heard it" The 3 girls looked at her confused "What do you mean?" Lia asked "Your story" Ningning said, Lia widened her eyes "H-how?" Lia asked
"We were at the backstage of the theatre room since the Principal told us to turn off the lights, Then Ningning and I bumped into some students then they asked us some important questions regarding to the upcoming events that's why it took us so long. We didn't expect that you guys are gonna be sitting near the door of the theatre room that's why we managed to hear all of Lia's story. We just can't get out" Of course it was a lie that there are some students asked some questions regarding the events in the University. Karina needed to lie knowing they met with the famous idol "but you're okay now right?" Ningning asked Lia
Lia smiled knowing her friends really cared about her, she felt love in them but still there is something missing she just couldn't figure out what is it "I'm okay, you guys don't have to worry. I'm really starting to forget it already because I have the best of friends in this country. You guys make me feel so special and a gem, I know we all just met a day ago but I feel so comfortable towards you guys. I'm forgetting all the things that happened since you guys make me feel like I'm being loved" The 4 girls smiled at her, they sighed in relief knowing Lia is comfortable with them.
"You know you have us...until the end" Ningning said "I'll hold onto that" Lia winked causing the girls to laugh and gave her the soft and warmest hug. Surely, Lia will never let go of this newly circle of friends. The day was full of stories they were asking about Lia's life in New York and what her mother and brother is like, she also told them that one day she will take them to New York to have a bit of a tour and meet her Mother and Brother personally of course the girls got excited and instantly telling their plans which the gorgeous girl find it very heart warming, they also talked about the school's event and a bit of...Jennie.Of course, the teasing was still there. The girls really like Jennie for her because they knew Jennie will take care of her. The night ended with Lia laughing out loud because of Winter's silliness.

Jihyo was currently in her room looking at Lia's picture and feed on instagram. She was it in Winter's post, they have a cute picture together Lia piggy back riding her while showing her brightest smile. She tagged Lia and Jihyo quickly click on it. She took her laptop out finding the file full of the girl that she was finding, she wanted to see if there's no difference. She found the perfect picture of each.
She was looking at it closely, every curves, shapes and feature. Her skin, nose, eye color and hair. There really is no difference so she tried to find a type of picture showing the body, thankfully she found one. There's no difference but something caught her attention on Lia's legs, it was a scar like it was stitched. She looked at it closely it really is a stitch. She remembered she saw also saw a scar on Lia's arms.
She really think of it really well, There are no difference, the features are the same, the shapes, the hair, they nose. The difference is that Lia has a scar. She quickly called the girls to meet her in her own apartment near the entertainment bringing her laptop.
She drove quickly making her way to her apartment she just knew she had to talk about this to the girl right now, she felt something differently with that girl not in a bad way but in a...good and love way. She don't know what is it but she's just praying to God that this is Lia.
She quickly went inside surprised that all of her members were there already inside. They quickly went in the living room wanting to hear Jihyo's discussion. They knew they had a lot of things to do and finish first but Jihyo is their leader they could feel that she's really willing to find her mystery girl.
"The scar..." Dahyun said Jihyo and the rest of the girls looked at her "I saw it too when Karina rolled her sleeves up and trying to cover it I still managed to see it. It was..bad" Jihyo nodded "I saw another one in her legs" Jihyo showed it to the girls. They gasped in shock they compare the picture that Jihyo has and Lia's there's no difference in the face and features but Lia's scar. Jeongyeon quickly called her sister sending the scars of Lia's wanting to know about it her sister was a doctor.
"Okay, Thank you" Jeongyeon hung up the call "So?" Tzuyu asked "Either way, Lia has a bad accident. The scar in her legs was stitched while the one in her arms was more on like a mark on her, she also told me that feels like the accident was really bad because of the size of it" Jeongyeon said sighing sitting beside Momo. Jihyo sigh "If she is Lia the girl that I'm finding maybe there really is a reason why she suddenly vanished" The girls nodded well except for one...feeling guilty.

"Move to the right No-I mean to the left" Lia said looking at Jennie "Hmm on a second thought more on the right" Jennie rolled her eyes playfully finally Lia clicked the button on the camera as Jennie smiled brightly, Lia looked at the photo right after she captured it she smiled when she saw Jennie's face.
Jennie decided to pay Lia for a visit in her house, of course Jennie asked Jaesung first if she could go and visit Lia which surprisingly he agreed. He was on a urgent mission with his boys. Lia was surprised seeing Jennie early in the afternoon, they were just talking over the phone when Lia decided to follow Jennie's order to go downstairs and she saw Jennie standing with foods in her hands and her dog Kuma. Lia was happy of course.
She played with Kuma first and ate with Jennie in the garden right after they eat Lia decided to take some pictures using Jennie's camera "You didn't tell me you're good at photography" Jennie said wiping Lia's sweat "Hmmm, I got it from my Dad of course. You should post this on your Instagram" Lia showed her the picture and smiled, Jennie was showing her gummy smile "you really like my Gummy smile huh?"
"You bet I do" Lia smirked while Jennie blushed, Lia chuckled and turned off the camera she looked at the sleeping dog in between her and Jennie. Lia decided to take out the picnic blanket so they could hang out in the huge garden. Jennie looked at Lia who's closing her eyes while smiling, Jennie took her phone out and secretly took a picture of her. Jennie realized that this garden was full of Lia's favorite flowers "By any chance, did your dad made this for you?" Jennie asked, Lia smiled and nodded.
"I remembered when I was in my recovery" Jennie looked at her deeply, Jaesung already told to her daughter that he manage to say everything to the girls which Lia just nodded because someday soon they will know it anyways "Mom and Dad was telling me about how Dad was supposed to propose in the field of flowers but me being such an excited girl to see the world I decided to come out while my Dad is proposing. Of course, they freaked out and suddenly manage to take Mom to the hospital" Jennie laughed while Lia is giggling "So, your Mom got pregnant and they are not married yet?" She asked as Lia nodded "Yeah but you know why I really like all of these flower?" Jennie hummed wanting to know about her story and her reason why she like all of it "Because when my Mom is still pregnant with me she's always finding this flowers whenever Dad bring her some food or you know go out on a date and when I was a toddler they usually bring me to the field of Roses, Sunflowers and Tulips until I was a teen they even bought me there with Liam before my accident" Jennie smiled sadly she still felt Lia is still affected.
"When Dad started working in this country he still couldn't accept the fact that he will be away for so long so while this house was being build he decided to plant all of these flowers just to remember me. He knew that I usually cling to him and never let him go it's also hard for me when he left." Lia smiled at Jennie while Kuma left running to the field, Lia decided to sit beside Jennie closer and laid her head on Jennie's shoulder the idol was surprised at first but manage to sink everything in when Lia was so comfortable laying her head on her shoulder. So, being so bold she snaked her hand in Lia's waist wanting her to lay her head on her chest.
"Thank you" the girl said, Jennie rubbed her back "For what Lia?" The girl asked "For making me smile and...safe, I just felt this feeling towards you. You wouldn't leave me right? I know it's a lot to sink in but I'm so comfor--" Lia was cutted off
"Shhh, Lia it's okay. I will never leave you. It will be a sin if I did, I will stay with you forever and protect you whatever it takes" Lia sighed and hugged Jennie tighter she finally felt it. While Jennie in the other hand was promising herself she will do her best to make her stay and never let her go.
'You're Mine' Jennie said to her mind while rubbing Lia's back resting her chin to the girls head
