After watching the news, Lisa reached out his hand to turn off the TV.

He was not satisfied with the way Qin Yu handled the matter; she simply announced her retreat and had no intention whatsoever to apologize to Jennie...

Jennie saw through to her husband's anger. Seeing he was about to call Jisoo, she reached out her hand and stopped him, "That's enough. For a proud person like Qin Yu, destroying her career is already worse than killing her...moreover, what's the point of forcing her to apologize?"

"Don't waste your energy on people like that. Hon...you need some rest."

Lisa turned his head and looked at Jennie and noticed her patting the spot beside her; he couldn't possibly refuse. So, he strolled over, sat down and wrapped her in his embrace, "My heart aches for you..."

Jennie took the opportunity to massage Lisa's shoulder and noticed his muscles were tense, "Look, you've been working too hard. Even your body is trying to remind you to get some rest."

Lisa did not say another word. As he hugged Jennie, he slowly lowered his body, pressed his lips against her forehead and closed his eyes.

"I already possess the most powerful manager. So...people like Qin Yu doesn't exist in my eyes. Stop wasting your precious time on people like that."

"OK!" Lisa nodded with his eyes closed.

...

During Jennie's period of recovery, Rosé treated it as a long holiday. With Lisa taking care of Jennie's every need, there was nothing left for Rosé to worry about.

Overcome with boredom, Rosé headed over to Manoban Entertainment. She wanted to find Jisoo to help her pass time.

However, just as she reached the doorway of Jisoo's office, she could just make out the sound of his voice yelling at a subordinate...

Rosé leaned against the door frame without entering. Finally, Jisoo's secretary ran out crying. Rosé shook her head, pushed open the door and said to Jisoo, "That's not the right way to train people. You should be gentle towards girls, how could you make her cry?"

Jisoo closed the document in front of him; he was obviously still angry.

This was the first time Rosé witnessed Jisoo's anger. As she watched him trying to contain his anger and his ears burning red, she couldn't help but find him adorable!

"Tell your big sister how many people you've made cry. Have there been at least 10?"

Jisoo lifted his head and looked at Rosé; it looked like he was containing a smile. As he looked at Rosé, he could feel his heart flutter, "You...why are you looking at me like that?"

"At least I've never made you cry before..."

After hearing this, Rosé stood stunned for a moment before she realized she had almost misinterpreted his words as her heart raced. Because, with his EQ, there was no way his words would contain a deeper meaning. It seemed, he was simply trying to say she wasn't like a woman.

Rosé let out a gentle laugh. She felt a bit silly as she mumbled, "I almost believed it."

"What was that?"

Rosé lifted her head and smiled at Jisoo, "It's because your big sister has a strong heart! Now, why don't you tell me why you were angry at your secretary."

"I don't like it when people casually enter my home. I asked her to retrieve some documents from my place and she cleaned up my bedroom while she was there," Jisoo explained as he looked down at his documents. As he worked, he had a serious expression on his face.

As soon as Rosé heard his explanation...

...her heart once again started racing...

...because she had been to Jisoo's home and had even stayed a night there. However, Jisoo never said anything.

"Honestly, your home is quite messy sometimes..." Rosé responded awkwardly. She then said something she couldn't believe she would say, "Since I have a few days free, why don't I go help you clean up a bit?"

After speaking, Rosé was tempted to bite her own tongue off. Jisoo's head remained buried in his work as the room fell into a few minutes of silence. Suddenly, Jisoo lifted his head and handed her a set of keys, "OK..."

Rosé's face flushed red...

She wasn't sure if Jjsoo was thinking the same thing as her. If not, she would need to make the distinction soon. If they got to a point where they couldn't even be friends, what would she do?

So, Rosé grabbed the keys, and with the confidence that she was relatively special to Jisoo, she headed to his home.

On the surface, they were still an engaged couple...

...and at this moment, she was at Jisoo's home helping him clean up. What was the meaning of all this?

Rosé tidied Jisoo's bedroom and helped him wash his dirty clothes; even his socks and underwear...

As she stood in front of the washing machine, she furrowed her brows. She was worried if she didn't quickly contain her heart she wouldn't be able to control the feelings she had for Jisoo and fall deeper and deeper into this dangerously ambiguous situation.

Half an hour later, Jisoo began to drive home. As Lisa was spending most of his time taking care of Jennie, Jisoo's workload increased dramatically.

After opening the door and seeing Rosé doing the laundry, he headed straight for his bedroom without hesitation and lay down on his bed.

Rosé looked at Jisoo awkwardly as he lay in bed. Did he not notice there was someone in his home?

Rosé assumed Jisoo would want to take a shower and get some rest, so she decided to greet him quickly and leave. However, just as Rosé opened her mouth, she heard Jisoo's muffled voice coming from his pillow, "I haven't eaten yet! I'm hungry..."

Rosé temporarily stopped her thoughts from wandering and willingly prepared dinner for Jisoo. However, by the time she finished, Jisoo had fallen asleep.

Rosé gently retrieved the keys from her pocket and placed it on the table. However, this little bit of noise woke Jisoo up.

He sat up and looked at Rosé, "Take the keys with you..."

Rosé: "..."

"During this time I'll be really busy, I'm sure my home is going to look like a mess. I can't trust other people."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Rosé's face, "Hurry and eat dinner. You can go back to sleep after you eat."

Jisoo took a few seconds to respond. He eventually got out of bed as he watched Rosé leave. After the sight of her figure disappeared behind the door, Jisoo leaned his back against the door and held onto his heart, "Why did I want her to stay longer?"

It seemed, tomorrow, not only would he need to create more dirty clothes, he would also have to break his taps and blow his fuse...

Jisoo made plans in his mind to keep Rosé at his place.

Of course, Jisoo wasn't the only one thinking along this path. Although Jisoo was a woman, when faced with the man she liked, it was normal for her to want to stay a little longer.

As she looked at the sparkling keys in her hand, Rosé suddenly felt there was still a lot of beauty worth grasping onto in this world...

Jisoo...Oh, Jisoo...

Why must you torture me like this?

Rosé pulled out her own keys and opened her car door. However, just as she boarded the car, she received a phone call from Jisoo, "Umm...I have a document that I can't find. While you were cleaning the room, where did you place it? It's really important. It's in a blue folder!"

"It's on the shelves; third row, second drawer."

"It's not there. Come back and help me find it..."
