"Ok guys we just have 20 minutes to practice, so let's go ahead to it ok?" Lisa said in a cheerful tone, the girls went to their initial positions, at first it was hard for Lisa, the last time she danced like that she was still in college, Manoban stop worrying about it, you planned this, don't be a coward, she thought for herself.
When the music started Lisa forgot about every single problem or worry, she just went with the flow, it seemed really easy, "Girls let's practice this one more time, then we will move to the other part" she said more confident this time, once again the music engulfed her deeply, in a blink of an eye she was feeling so much better, they ended reviewing the whole moves and choreography twice.
"Girls I'm proud of you, thank you so much, let's do this for Keira and our whole team, get some rest, and go to get your clothes, we will change a couple of times, you have to be sure to have everything you need in order, please drink water, you need to stay hydrated, and if you haven't eaten anything do it, nobody will faint today, Miss Jennie Kim was nice enough to order a catering service for all of you, so please not only the dancers, everyone is invited to eat and drink" Lisa said.
"Lis we will get you ready ok?" Sana said and Lisa nodded, thank you so much guys, I appreciate everything you have done for us working in this campaign" she said to Sana and Nayeon (the ones in charge of the Hair styles and Make Up department) the girls and their squad smiled "You are such a kind and nice girl, and probably is the first time we get compliments for our work" Nayeon said.

When Jennie went back to her office to gather her things for the meetings she ran into Jisoo "Jen I was about to look for you? Where were you? You are always on time", Jennie was in hurry walking fast, "I know but you won't believe what happened, I have so much to tell you, I'll start with what happened today, the main dancer for Lisa's commercial got injured, she badly sprained her ankle, an hour ago, Lisa called her personal doctor and him and Pete, took her to the hospital, I was gonna pay for everything, since it happened here in our parking lot, the staff forgot a metallic box with wires and idk what else and she tripped on it, a total mess, the thing is Lisa gave her card to Pete to pay for everything that was needed, and well the whole place was a chaos since it's our main commercial and we can't dely it, we have a deadline, so it comes out just on time with our new collection" Jennie entered to the Meeting Room, luckily she was there a couple minutes early, "And now what? What are we going to do? There's no way to find a replacement, maybe the choreographer could take her place" Jisoo said.
Jennie was busy reviewing some files "Exactly Chu, that's what will do, guess who is the choreographer?", Jisoo tapped her chin a few times thinking, "I don't know Jen, you know I hardly visit those departments, I'm more in the finances side, just tell meeee, hurry before those old men interrupt us" Jennie laughed "Lisa, my talented Lalisa Manoban" she said proudly, "Jen what the... Woah wait, she was the one behind the choreography and did I heard you call her your Lalisa? Jen! What's happening? You aren't telling me something", Jennie got up and started to bow down to the people arriving to the meeting room, "I'll tell you later" Jennie said and winked and her cousin, Jisoo was dying to know what was happening.

"Perfect, just perfect girls, Lisa great job, it seems filming this will be easy, we are done with this part" Mr. James said, "We will be filming the next scene, rest 10 minutes, drink water and eat something" Lisa said to everyone, "Lis come see this" a guy told him looking at what they just filmed, "Ohhhhh great, that's what I wanted, seriously, you guys are genius! Thank you so much", then Lisa walked away and called Pete, he told her Keira had a sprained ankle, but it wasn't serious, she would rest only two weeks, he got her medications and pay the bills, Lisa asked him to take Keira to eat something, and he should eat as well, her sister was already with them according to Pete, so Lisa said to get everyone to eat something and take the girls home, she would call Keira later on.

After almost two hours the meeting was done, and everyone was dismissed "Omg Finally Jen, tell me, tell me now, please tell meeeeee!" Jisoo said in a desperate tone, Jennie walked away making her cousin trail behind her, and throwing tantrums like a toddler.
"CHU! Can you stop? Wait a little come to my office and stop the show, you are my Unnie and you act like a baby" Jennie said giving her an annoyed glare, Jisoo was in a bad mood already so she just walked without talk at all.
"Mrs. Kyong my schedule is free for a couple of hours right?" Jennie asked her, "That's right Miss Jennie, the other meeting will be in the evening", Jennie smiled "Thank you Mrs. Kyong, did you eat already?", the older woman seemed surprised, "Yes Miss Jennie, thanks for asking", she said and Jennie just nodded and walked inside her office.
"Woah Woah, what's going on Jendukie? You'll kill the poor woman, did you see her face, after all this time and you ask that, plus she calls you Miss Jennie now? Show yourself miss pretender where is my cousin?" Jennie punched her in her arm, "Jisoo there are many Kim around here, so it's better if she calls me like that plus, what's wrong? You told me to care about the people that work in our company and now you are making fun of me?" She opened her terrace and walked outside drinking some water.
"Jen you never listen to anybody, and now this? I mean it's not bad, but it's weird" Jisoo said, "Well I want to change, I want to show my kind side, I don't want people scared of me anymore" Jennie said.
Jisoo looked at her cousin, she was glowing, she seemed happier than ever, something was just going on, "Jen, be honest with me, you are... I don't know, different, please don't punch me, I mean it in a good way" Jennie gave her a gummy smile, "Please take a seat, I need to tell you something", Jisoo did what her cousin told her.
"Do you remember when I came back from Paris? The yellow hoodies and my jealousy?" Jisoo nodded, the day I came back I asked Lisa to visit me cause I missed her, I didn't want to admit it, I just wanted to see her and she went right away, we spend a quality time talking about everything, you already know how I feel about her, I was planning to tell her but I couldn't, I got her a yellow hoodie because she let me stole one from her wardrobe that is yellow as well, yes the Chanel one, so we decided we could wear it the next day, but well at the end of the day I got jealous and I hurt her badly, actually when you scolded me I tried to contact her, but she didn't answer my calls, I texted her and she said we needed time apart, since I wasn't even comfortable with her around, so it broke me, I don't know why I acted this way, so well what you don't know is the next day I called you, because I was sick, and I couldn't come, remember?" Jennie said looking at Jisoo, "Yeah, I thought it was weird but since you get migraines I thought all the stress and the lack of sleep for the Paris thing made you feel sick".
Jennie walked around, "I begged Lisa to call me, she didn't and that broke me even more, feel her rejection was too much, since the whole day I kept on flirting with her, I lead her on something and then I told her we were simple friends, I regretted it immediately but it was done, after get her text rejecting me and saying it was ok, since I was expressing how I really felt, I couldn't sleep, I kept crying all night long, so I had to lie and tell you I was sick, I was really sick because I couldn't bare myself, act all this way, break innocent people hearts and act all cold all the time, Lisa was a refreshing breeze, someone who helped me without ask anything in return, a loyal friend and my first real love, I was only thinking that I was going to lose her, it was devastating, it made me feel really sick".
Jisoo took Jennie's hand, "Why you didn't tell me? I could have been there for you, help you or at least listening", "I was ashamed, specially cause you told me twice to don't act all impulsive and I didn't listen, and I want to apologize with you, because you always have been there for me, even if I'm a spoiled brat" Jennie hugged her cousin's tightly.
"Somehow Lisa heard I was sick, I think she went to talk to me and Krystal told her everything, and that damn Thai Barbie swallowed her pride, and went to look for me, she even brought me lunch, she left work and went to look for me, even if I mistreated her" Jennie's eyes started to overflow with tears, Jisoo rubbed her back to comfort her little cousin, "She talked to Uncle Jeong, and she got in to my room, when uncle knocked he said he had some tea, but he just let Lisa get inside, I covered all my body and when I heard the door closed I crumbled again, I couldn't bear the feeling of losing her because I'm stubborn, that's when she sat by my side comforting me, when I heard her voice I got up to hug her, I couldn't believe she would care that much about me, but she did, she was there when I needed her, without even asking, and we talked, about us, I told her I was jealous, and she confessed how she felt about me, I did the same, we do feel the same Chu, but we are taking it slowly cause well this situation is new for both of us, you know, dating a girl, and then she kissed me, it was a simple chaste kiss and it made me feel like I was having the most intense feeling ever", Jisoo was taken aback.
"You and Lisa are dating?" Jisoo was exploding, the whole thing was too much, Jennie nodded, "Well we declared our feelings, we like each other, and we decided to explore and discover what we really feel, cause it's not admiration, I don't need to wait, I know I already fell for her but I don't wanna rush things, we have to get to know each other better, and you don't know how happy she made me feel, but then I panicked, what if my mum doesn't approve this?, I talked with Uncle Jeong and he told me my mum only wanted me happy, that was all, then later that day I invited Lisa to dinner and she said it was our first date and it was amazing, and I kissed her again, and I just wanted to keep kissing her all night, then she told she would talk to my mum so we could go to other places and dates, I was worried about how I was gonna talk to my mum about it and she was the first saying she wouldn't leave me alone, and that was the most beautiful thing someone has ever done for me, this morning I picked her up to bring her to work, and I'm planning to take her back, and I just want to be with her, Chu I'm crazy over her, she makes me lose control, she is what my life was missing" Jisoo looked at her with a serious face, and slapped her head "Damn Jendukie it was time already!! I'm so happy for you, that's why you are happy and different, oh love is miraculous", she said and both laughed, I'll talk to my mum tomorrow.
"Jen you don't have to worry, do you remember my mum acting as the FBI, well I think your mum already knows something, and I'm sure she will be happy for you and Lisa, now you gotta act cool, stop with your jealousy, you know what Lisa has been suffering with her ex boyfriend, don't break her heart, make sure to listen to her and keep your mind open, Remember this it's for your own good" Jennie nodded.
"By the way, going back to our commercial dramma, Lisa is replacing Keira the main dancer, cause well I told you already she planned the whole choreography and they worked on it just in 4 days, can you believe her talent?? so I'm heading to see my Thai Barbie, do you wanna come? Jennie said, and Jisoo nodded, "Also I sent flowers to Keira and I promised her that she will be part of the campaign, plus she will get paid, Lisa is just her replacement, so what you say huh?", "Hell yeah I wanna see what's going on" Jisoo said all excited.

When Jennie and Jisoo arrived to the studio they were in a break, people were bowing down to them and they did the same, Jennie was roaming around looking for Lisa when she heard a beautiful sound, she was laughing out loud, "Jennie!" She ran to see her, "You were right I didn't have a reason to be nervous and Hi Chu!! How are you?" Jennie was smiling looking at Lisa perfect body and Jisoo slightly touch her with her elbow, "I want to thank you for saving us" Jisoo said and Lisa giggled, "Well we couldn't stop the whole thing, right Jennie?" and Jennie was speechless "Nini are you alright?" Lisa asked, "Oh yes yes, I was just looking around, how long will you take to film the whole thing?" Jennie asked, "Well I think a couple of hours more, I don't think I will take the whole day".
"Woah Lisa what happened to your hair?, It looks great though" Jisoo asked, "Don't worry, it's not real, our departments are too talented" Lisa said, then Jennie looked at her from head to toe, and she whispered to Lisa "You look gorgeous and so sexy, I'm dying to kiss you right now" and Lisa got really nervous, it was a big turn on for her, luckily Jisoo was distracted with the food. "Nini don't tease me, plus you are beyond gorgeous, you are a goddess, I'm glad you came, I was dying to see you" and Jennie blushed "You better kiss me tonight Manoban" and smirked mischievously.
Lisa had to go back because they were gonna film another scene, Jennie couldn't stop looking at her, she seemed a professional dancer, "Jendukie stop drooling, people are gonna see you and you gotta talk to your mum first" Jisoo said laughing at her cousin, Jennie just punched her lightly, it was true, she needed to talk to her mum before things were public, she didn't wanted rumours.
After see some scenes Jennie told Lisa she needed to go back, and after the meeting, her last task, she would be back and she would take her home, Lisa couldn't help but feel amazing and smile widely at her.

After a long day, the scenes were already filmed the team was really happy, and Jennie Kim walked in the middle of the studio, everyone was quiet "I have never been more proud of you guys, thank you for all your support and your hard work, I know we still have lots of work ahead, but I'm sure everything will be perfect, I trust you, you are all talented, so for today we are done, have a proper rest, and eat well, I'll see you guys soon, with our next commercial, you girls are really talented, please let's applaud all of you, they all cheered, let's dedicate this commercial to Keira, I'll talk to the Creative Team to include her in this campaign, maybe in a photoshoot or our last commercial, now let's all go to rest" she walked away and saying bye to everyone around and she tried to be nice and everyone acted really friendly towards her, all the girls went to change and Lisa was the last one on the dressing room. "Girls I'll make sure one of our branches hire you, we had an entertainment division, you would be perfect for that, I'll let you know at the end of the week", the girls thanked Jennie, once the place was alone she got inside and saw Lisa totally exhausted.
"Baby, wake up, I'll take you home" Lisa smiled, "Jen I was waiting for you, I noticed how you looked at me, do I attract you more being a brunette?" she said and embraced Jennie, the CEO chuckled "Manoban are you trying to seduce me?, Lisa chuckled "Cause it's working, sit properly so I can sit on your lap" she said softly, then once she was comfortable on the Thai's lap, she kissed Lisa and traced kisses on her neck, then around her jawline, "Let's go to your place, I wanna cuddle and keep kissing you, please Lili" Jennie said softly and Lisa couldn't help but smile, "I was born ready, take me home Miss CEO".
