Chapter 10

It's been a week now, Lia and Jennie spend their time together almost every night. She usually goes to Lia's house to have a night with her right after she went to the studio or spends her full day with Lia whenever she has a day off. Of course, Jaesung knows about this knowing her daughter is enjoying her time with Jennie.

and of course her friends already went to the house to hang out with Lia in the house and decided to have an overnight. Wherein in the next day the 4 idols went to visit Lia's home to have lunch of course they were surprised seeing Lia's friends were also there but of course the more the merrier. Karina and Ningning just pretended that they just met them they really don't want to know that they met the idols in the backstage of the theatre. Everything is going smoothly making Lia fall in love with Jennie with the help of Karina and Ningning.

"Ugh, look the shuttle cock is stuck in the tree" Lia said groaning "Sorry, I should have not hit it hard" Winter said looking up at the tree. They decided to study in Lia's house because it was the weekend but they finished early so the girls decided to play badminton early in the afternoon. "Can I borrow your slippers?" Lia asked the korean while she look at her confused but gladly gave it. Karina, Winter and Ningning just came out from the kitchen because they received the food that the delivery man delivered. They saw Lia throwing Giselle's slipper trying to hit the shuttle cock they couldn't help but laugh when Lia is groaning because she can't hit it so Ningning volunteered to do it.

Lia was looking at her suspiciously knowing Ningning is the smallest "Are you sure you can hit it?" Lia ask looking at Ningning who's wearing a sunglasses so that her eyes wouldn't be affected by the sunlight "I may be the smallest but I have a high energy whenever I'm throwing something so you should trust me" Lia looked at the 3 girls who's just shaking their head while crossing their arms "stay back, I'll get this in a ton of second" Lia just stay a bit far looking at Ningning's strategy.

Ningning looked at the three again and looking for the shuttle cock when she did, she smirked thinking it would be easy to hit it. She removed one of her slipper and throw it centering to the brand where the shuttle cock was stuck but sadly it didn't hit so she groaned and tried to hit by using the other slipper but to her dismay the shuttle cock didn't fall down "Where'd the slipper go?" Lia asked Ningning looking at the branch the 3 girls went beside Lia chuckling at Ningning "I don't even know" Lia handed the slipper to Giselle "Hmm, I have a ton of shuttle cock in my room maybe I should just get one " Lia was about to leave when she heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen, she looked and she saw the girl that she was hanging out with for a few days. Lia's eyes went bright and excitedly waved her hand while the girls quickly waved at her but the two slippers fell right into Ningning's head causing the girl to groan in pain.

Lia quickly went to Jennie and gave her a warming hug while the cat eyed girl hugged her back and kiss the top of her head "What are you doing here?" The girl asked "I came to see you but seems like your busy getting something" Lia pulled out the hug and nodded "what is it?" Lia looked at the girls trying to hit the shuttle cock using Ningning's slippers "The shuttle cock got stuck because Giselle hit it hard" Jennie nodded and looked at outside the three while Lia heard some footsteps coming from the living her eyes lit up when she heard Lisa and Rosé's voice she quickly ran to the living room seeing Lisa's dog named Love also Rosé's dog named Hank. Lia squealed and quickly hug them both causing Lisa and Rosé to look at her lovingly.

Lia walked Lisa and Rosé in the garden seeing the girls trying to hit the shuttle cock, Lia shaked her head and just decided to get one in her room taking Hank and love with her. She put Hank down while Love started to sniff Lia's bed while the girl is going to the drawer to get some shuttle cock when she finally did she called the two girl to come down with her but her phone instantly rang, She quickly looked at it expecting it was from her Dad but it was from her Mom so she quickly answered it. She got confused it was 3 pm already and probably it was 2 am in New York so she answered it.

"Mom?" Lia asked looking at the window seeing her friends happily talking to the three idols "Hey baby" Her Mom said "Why are you still awake Mom? Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" Her Daughter asked eyeing on Jennie who's currently talking to Karina "Yeah, I should but I just can't stop thinking of you knowing your Dad was telling me about your whereabouts and Liam telling me about your new friends" Lia smiled "I miss you so much Dear" Lia heard her Mom sniffled "Mom please don't cry. You know, how much I miss you too and Liam. But, after 3 months we will have our break and my friends and I will visit"

"Yes I know Hon but your Dad has been telling me about a certain girl" Lia blushed trying not to smile coming down from the stairs "I believe her name is Jennie and she's an idol" Lia chuckled, she knew by just the tone of her Mom's voice she was not mad but also proud "Is she cool? Kind? Is she your...type?" Lia rolled her eyes playfully

"Mom, you do know that I'm more focusing on my studies for today but you know she's kinda..my type" Lia trailed out, she doesn't want to Lia but Jennie really is her type "Hon, you know you also need to explore how life really works most specially you need to know how to love on someone" Lia looked at Jennie who's playing with Love, she really wants to try that specially she might have find the girl that she really likes "You know you need to treasure that kind of person. Most specially if you feel like your feeling special and safe to her arms. You do know whatever you like and makes you happy we will be supporting you."

"I know Mom, maybe soon. You know, I need to walk her to my beloved parents first I know you wanted to meet her personally" Her Mom chuckled "Of course, anyway hon. I need to go, you know Liam will wake me up early for his breakfast. I love you" Lia smiled "Okay Mom, I love you too" Isabel hang up and Lia sighed while smiling and went back to the girls.

Rosé and Ningning are currently playing some board games, Lisa, Karina, Winter and Giselle are taking some pictures while Jennie is looking at them. Lia decided to sit beside Jennie and lay her head on her shoulder, ever since then she really likes laying her head on Jennie's shoulder. Jennie asked Lia why she always likes it lay on someone shoulder it's because she find comfort but most specially she finds comfort on Jennie's she doesn't know why but she really loves it. Jennie found it heartwarming of course, she always place her hands on Lia's waist but mostly rubbing her back. So, Jennie place her hand on Lia's shoulder rubbing it.

"Care to explain why you took so long in your room?" Lia looked at Jennie and smiled, she really likes to spend her free time with Jennie she really get used to it knowing Jennie is really looking after her, making her happy and safe all the time "Because, my Mom called and she told something to me regarding to my life" Lia asked resting her chin on her shoulder looking at her deeply, Jennie rub her cheeks using her thumb. They look like a couple, yes. If ever someone sees this action many of them will think they are a couple most specially Lia is so clingy "Is that so? Did your Mom scold you how stubborn you are?" Jennie joked, Lia pouted cutely but just hugged Jennie. "But it was just one shrimp" Lia said, they decided to have a late dinner with Jisoo last week. Jennie really know something about Lia specially it was coming from her Dad. Jennie was surprised Lia is allergic to shrimp but Lia was so stubborn last week wanting to taste the shrimp and gave her the puppy eyes so Jennie gave in and told hee just to taste one but it didn't end well on that night. Lia couldn't breathe properly and ended up having some rashes. Jennie was blaming herself from it but Jaesung told her that it wasn't because she knows how stubborn Lia is sometimes "You have to tell me about your new medication" Jennie said rubbing Lia's back.

Just then, Lia felt another bad headache 2 nights ago. It just came when she was doing her assignments, she felt s slight pinch on her head she didn't mind it at first but when it became too much she needed to call Jaesung for help and to ease the pain but it didn't work so he decided to take Lia in the hospital. Well, it was said Lia should have not stressed herself most specially she's in college this will mostly happen if she is thinking too much works that will trigger her brain "New name, I just need to drink that whenever I felt that pain again" Jennie nodded "Hey lovebirds, We'll be out to buy some food in the convenience store. Need anything?" Lisa asked carrying Hank. Lia is chuckling because Jennie's face is heating up and couldn't answer because Lisa called them. Lia just answered them that they don't want anything so the girls left leaving them.

"Come on, I'll show you something" Lia said to Jennie tugging her hand "Where?" Jennie asked "You'll see" Lia winked. They went in the corner of the garden there was a hidden door there, Lia knew about this since she also explore the house together with Junho and Junri they toured Lia in the morning.

"Woah" Jennie said looking around, Lia was looking at her. It was a hidden swimming pool the style and the sorroundings was like a nature. The color of the water is crystal blue and it was so clean that you could see the bottom of it "This is so amazing" Jennie said touching the tree. Lia smiled taking something from one branch, it was a bracelet. She made this 3 days ago for Jennie, she wanted to thank you for always looking after her and making her stress fade away and of course being patient with her. She wanted to give this bracelet because she wants to start her new life here in Korea. Why? because when she first moved here she thought she would feel bullied and alone again but she realized a lot of people adored her and made her feel like she's not alone anymore.

So, here she is now wanting to start her new life here with the girl in front of her together with her friends. Of course, Lia also gave some bracelets to her friends and Jennie's members but Jennie's bracelet is more special because the color of it was her favorite. Lia came close to Jennie and took her hands putting the bracelet in her wrist. When she did, Lia looked at her and smiled "What's this?" Jennie asked looking lia deeply.

"This bracelet is the sign of how I truly feel so safe and felt comfort towards you. I want to start my positives life with you, I want you in my memories here with you and my friends. I know it was just a week but you know how important you are to me Jennie. You have no idea how much I craved of your attention sometimes and your presence. This bracelet is also the sign of how much I need you because this bracelet has a sign if I'm not okay or not" Lia took the bracelet out and press a small button wherein Jennie's bracelet has a red light on it "If that ever showed you know I'm not safe or not okay. I know all my friends has this but you have to remember you're the person who I want to see first" Jennie just hugged her tightly and closed her eyes, she doesn't know what to feel, she doesn't know but she has a high hopes that Lia is falling in love with her because to be honest Jennie is already deeply in love with her and as of now she's showing what love is.

She pulled out the hug and looked at Lia "You know I will be the first person who show up if something came up and if you ever need me I will be here no matter what. I will be your one call away friend, best friend or anything that you might think of me because whatever happens I will never leave you or think of you differently even though you became some kind of animal" Lia laughed wiping Jennie's tears 'I will never leave you because I'm so fucking in love with you' Jennie said to her mind. Lia just hugged Jennie tightly not wanting to let go as of the moment. She wants her alone time with Jennie as of the moment. They spend 30 minutes of sitting there talking about some random things and Jennie's schedule then decided to come out when they heard the gate opening meaning their friends arrive so they quickly went out. They spend the afternoon having fun, laughing making fun of one and another and playing some games while of course Lia is being the clingy around the girls but mostly to Jennie.

Lia was currently resting her chin on the table so bored while Winter is playing with her hair from behind, Karina was throwing some small paper to Giselle while Ningning is sleeping. They really don't want this subject because it was boring and not related to business. After 2 hours the class was finished and Lia was already leaning her body to Karina's locker waiting for Ningning to find her business book.

"Where are we gonna meet your Dad?" Karina asked looking at Lia "At the mall already, Are you all set?" The 4 girls nodded grinning at the Gorgeous girl she chuckled and went first the 4 girls trailing behind her. Junri and Junho were already waiting in the car so the girls went in.

Lia and her friends already arrived in the mall while Junri and Junho leaded them where Jaesung is. To their surprise he was at the bookstore, Lia instantly kissed his dad's cheeks and the girls greeted him. Lia and her friends decided to find some book.

Jaesung is currently finding some law books when he bumped into someone "Oh I'm so sorry" Jaesung took the book and gave it to the girls "Oh, wait I know you guys. Are you perhaps in a girl group?" Jaeasung asked, The girls instantly removed their face mask knowing the guy in front of them was a famous director and a guy who handles crime "Oh The girl group TWICE! How are you guys?" The girls greeted and bowed at him

"We're doing alright, How about you? Who are you with?" The leader asked "Oh, I'm with my daughter and her friends. You know roaming her around because she's new here" Jaesung said "Is that so? We didn't know you had a daughter" Chaeyoung said to her idol "Oh you know, my wife will be hella mad if she saw her daughter in the media" Jaesung said causing the girls to giggle, they talked about small things and Nayeon's plan on being an actress soon. It didn't took long for Lia and the girls to find her Dad.

"Hey Dad, I was wonderi --" Lia stopped on her tracks when the two girls bumped to her because Lia was frozen on her spot "Why'd you stop? Keep walking" Giselle said too busy reading her book "Hey go wal-- Oh Hi!" Ningning waved at the girls while Karina and Winter went down with books on their hands ready to show to Lia when they also stopped "Oh girls look who's here!" Jaesung said "I bet you girls know all this girls huh?" Jaesung pointed out at Lia's friends causing them to nod while he looks at his daughter looking down. She was trying to remember if she met them or not.

Jaesung snaked her arms on his daughter's hand knowing all the gestures and the touch that she needed while Karina started rubbing Lia's back knowing what this means while on the other hand Jihyo was closely looking at Lia processing in her mind why Lia wasn't looking at them but more on like she's thinking or remembering so deep "D-did we met them?" Lia suddenly asked her friends causing the 9 girls to look at her confused. Lia's friends nodded and smiled "Oh really?" Jaesung asked "Where?"

"In the carnival, they bumped into us but Lia didn't get the chance to get their names" Jaesung smiled "Okay, I want you girls to meet my daughter her name is Lia. Lia Johnson" Jihyo's eyes widened when she heard the surname 'Is it really her?' She asked to herself.

"Lia this is Mina" Mina smiled and took her hands out for a handshake while Lia smiled a bit to her "Jaengyeon, Nayeon, Chaeyoung, Momo, Sana, Dahyun and Tzuyu" Lia shaked their hands one by one while Lia looked at the girl "My name is Jihyo" Lia heard that name again, Her friends looked at each other wondering if it will trigger again. She took Jihyo's hand for a handshake but heck her head is aching. Jihyo was looking at her she was curious why is she struggling right now. 'Maybe this is really the Lia' She said to herself looking at her straight in the eyes.
